Silver Tails Infrared Pet Massager #Sponsored

**Complimentary products received in exchange for out honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review the Infrared Massager from Silver Tails:

This massager is great for dogs of all sizes.  It can help increase blood flow and cell generation and can also help soothe aching joints and muscles.  If your pet has arthritis, this tool is great for relieving tension, stiffness and pain.  

This massager has 2 heated massage heads and includes a rechargeable battery and charger.  The tool has a 3 function switch for separate heat and massage control.  It heats up quickly and works just as promised.  It scared Shiner a bit when we tried to use it on him, but after testing it out on myself, I'm sure it would be great for aging dogs.:)

Max Jeans: Stella Trouser Short for Summer! #Sponsored

**Complimentary products received in exchange for out honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review the Stella Trouser Short from Max Jeans:

I love these shorts!  They are the perfect summer staple.  Just the right length...not frumpy, but also not too short!  They have a very flattering fit and are made of a stretch material, so they kind of glide over your hips, nice and snug, but are comfortably loose around the thigh. 

 You can dress them up or wear them causally.  They are easy to care for and seem to be wrinkle resistant.  They come with a woven belt and feature a dual clasp and interior button closure.  
Seriously, a fantastic addition to any women's spring/summer wardrobe!

Another item the kiddos adore:  these Snail Glass Markers!  No, my kiddos aren't drinking wine, but these cute little snails are great for marking any kind of cup or glass and they are adorable!  These retail at $8.

This gorgeous headband was another fun find!  So sparkly and fits really well without slipping off.  This retails at $12.

Finally, the iPhone case that is ice cream scented!  Super cute and fun:)  Retails at $12.

goDog Zombiez Dog Toy with Chew Guard #Sponsored

**Complimentary products received in exchange for out honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review a Zombiez toy from goDog:

Shiner loves his Zombiez toy!  As soon as we opened the box, Shiner grabbed it out of the box and got to chewing on it even before we cut the tag off!  It's definitely his new favorite toy!  

He is a super chewer, so within a couple of days, our Zombiez toy was missing his arms and legs, but Shiner still loves chewing on the body and head:)  He usually completely rips apart anything plush within the first hour, so the fact that we still have a fun and entertaining toy for him in this Zombiez plush is awesome!  I am super impressed with the durability of this toy.  We're definitely fans of Chew Guard Technology!

Clean Up with Sudsy Box Soap Subscription Service! #Sponsored

**Complimentary products received in exchange for out honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review a monthly soap subscription box called Sudsy Box:

Sudsy Box delivers 100% all natural soaps and bath products every other month.  You get three handcrafted soaps and a free gift that could be lip balms, lotion bars, body butter, sea salt scrubs and more!

Their all natural soaps are free from artificial colors and fragrances and contain no chemical preservatives.  The ingredients are simple...olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter and essential oils.

These soaps are created in small batches in some amazing scent combinations!  They come from Heidi's Artisan Soaps.  Heidi is the creator of both companies.  Each month, Sudsy Box and Heidi's Artisan Soap make non-allergenic soaps to give to those in need.  Great soap and a great cause!

Included in our box were Lavender Dreams, Orange Mocha Espresso, and Morning Mist.

The Orange Mocha Espresso is an exfoliating bar which works wonders on rough, dry skin and sells amazing!

The Lavender Dreams is super creamy and relaxing.  It lathers up really nicely and is great for right before bedtime.

The Morning Mist soap is perfect for those morning showers!  It has a super refreshing scent and really leaves my skin feeling soft after using it.

The soaps are just as beautiful as they are functional, and aromatically pleasing as well...a real treat to your senses!

Each soap has a sleeve that lists all of the ingredients and is made of seeded paper that can be planted to sprout wildflowers!  What a great bonus:)

Speaking of bonus, my free gift was a lovely peppermint lip balm that glides on smooth and moisturizes for hours.

A Sudsy Box starts at just $20 including shipping, which is a great price for handmade artisan soaps!

Father's Day Gift Guide: Loot Crate Gamer Subscription! #Giveaway #Sponsored

**Complimentary products received in exchange for out honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review the May Loot Crate:

"Loot Crate is the monthly gear and swag club for those that live and embrace the geek and gaming lifestyle. Loot Crate is a product discovery box, connecting our subscribers, known as Looters, with the best new and emerging companies producing gear, snacks, toys, hardware, art, and other goodies for the geek and gaming market. Each month, Loot Crate handpicks 6-8 new items to include in the box, which are kept secret until the boxes are delivered!"

Each month, Loot Crate has a theme and for May the theme was "Adventure."  Our crate included goodies from Zelda, Adventure Time and Minecraft along with a few other treats thrown in for good measure:)  The Zelda tee is awesome and brings back memories of hours spent adventuring with Link:)  D loved the Adventure Time collectible tin/figurine along with the Minecraft hanger collectible and the mystery of not knowing which character was going to be inside of either package.  

The stickers from Maker and Polaris were super cool, as were the tats from Markiplier.
The Friend Zone soundtrack was a great and entertaining listen and the "Dangerous to go Alone" bottle openers are a sweet throwback as well!

It's really cool how much support Loot Crate gives to up and comers and their fans.  Another super awesome feature is the online magazine that we were emailed when our crate arrived.  It gives a ton of cool backstory about the featured items and contributors...pretty neat stuff!

At just under $20 per month, this is a fantastic value for the gamer in your life, even if that gamer may be you:)  Loot Crate would make a fantastic Father's Day gift if your dad is a gamer!

Celebrate Summer With the Tea Lover's Subscription Box: Tea Sparrow! #Spon

We recently had the chance to review a tea sampler from Tea Sparrow, a monthly subscription tea company:

Every month is different, so you’ll always have new teas to discover and enjoy.  One sampler can make between 35-65 cups of tea depending on how strong you like your tea.

Each envelope has an informational label attached giving you background info on the tea, how to prepare the tea, ingredients and ordering information for when you find a blend you love, and you WILL find new teas that you will love and crave more of:)  Tea Sparrow doesn't sell individual teas, but they give you all the info you need to buy from the tea blender.

Tea Sparrow subscriptions start at just $20 monthly, which is a pretty sweet deal for this fun surprise pack of teas delivered straight to your door.  It would make a nice gift for all the tea-lovers in your life as well:)

Now, let's take a look at what was in the May Tea Sparrow box:

Passion Peach

This tea is from tea blender Bissell. It is a mouthwatering peach tea and tastes distinctly of passion fruit and, well,  peach.  This was great warm and iced...the perfect fruity tea for summer!

Red Rose Rooibos

Red Rose Rooibos from Tiesta Teas has recently been re-blended to incorporate fruity hints and a floral finish.  Another super summer tea!

 Spring Kiss

Sonnentor’s Spring Kiss, with mint, licorice and gentle touch of lemon is crisp and refreshing, really reminiscent of warmer Spring weather.  This tea was fantastic iced!

 Treasures of Japan

Aromatica Teas offers up this expertly blended tea, Treasures of Japan, blending five elite Japanese green teas together to make one exquisite brew! 

We really enjoyed sampling all of these wonderful teas!  The folks at Tea Sparrow really know how to find the best of the best:)

Kitten Caboodle & Diggity Dog Card Games from Educational Insights #Giveaway #Sponsored

**Complimentary products received in exchange for out honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review Kitten Caboodle and Diggity Dog, two of the newest card games from Educational Insights!

Both of these games play the same way, you can choose which you like based on your kiddos preference for either cats or dogs:)  This is a "Go Fish" type game where you try to get 3 necessities in order to adopt a puppy or kitten.  Each pet needs a different trio of items to be adopted.  The person who adopts the most pets wins!  

This game is for 2-4 players and is rated for preschoolers, though my 5 and 8 year olds LOVE it!  It helps them to develop matching skills and counting skills and encourages social skills, turn-taking and good sportmanship.

The pets that are featured o the cards are real-life fur babies who were adopted from animal shelters and they are adorable.  The game provides a bit of background infomration for each critter and the kiddos loved reading all about them:)

These are super fun games that can be played fairly quickly and would be great as summer fun for your kiddos!

**Complimentary products received in exchange for out honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review 2 different monthly club subscriptions from Clubs Galore, the Hot 'n' Spicy Club and the Marinade  and Sauce of the Month Club.

The Hot 'n' Spicy of the Month Club contains 4 spicy surprises each month.  We were sent Scorpion's Sting Peanuts, Spontaneous Combustion Hot Sauce, Legendary Texas Foods Pure Smoked Habanero Powder and Fischer & Wieser Red Hot Jalapeno Jelly.

B, who is pretty well-schooled in spicy stuff, was most impressed by the Habanero Powder which he said packed quite a punch.  I was too chicken to try it after that diagnosis, but I did enjoy the other spicy treats, especially the Jalapeno Jelly.

This subscription is $36.95 /month and would be a fun gift for the Dad who loves all thing spicy:)

The Marinade and Sauce of the Month Club includes two bottles of highly rated sauces.  We received two bottles from Fischer & Wieser, a Hickory Smoked Black Pepper Mustard Sauce and a Traditional Steak and Grilling Sauce.  We really enjoyed both sauces.  This would be a fun surprise each month for the King of the Grill:)

A subscription to this club is $26.50/month.
