Ultimate Scratch Off World Map Review

I love the idea of documenting my travels. A scratch off world map is an amazing idea that not only helps you keep track of where you have been, but also makes a unique piece of wall art to display in your home. I am so impressed with the Scratch Off World Map Ultimate Pack by Shiny Journey on Amazon!

The map comes with everything you need to create your own personalized map of the world. Simply scratch off the places that you have visited from among 252 different countries and regions. The scratch-off map tool set includes a scratch tool, an erasable gold pen, a cloth for erasing, and three sets of stickers with 20 themes.

This map makes for a great conversation started. Soon you will be discussing your travels and bringing back memories just by hanging this on your wall. I think this would also make the perfect gift for anyone that enjoys traveling. I love how easy it is to keep track of your travels and plan out your next adventure. Be sure to check out the map on Amazon HERE. I need to get a big frame to keep mine in decent shape between travels!

Wicks Studio Pumpkin Chai Candle Review #PumpkinChai

Autumn is here, and that means that it is time for all of the fun fall festivities to start. Apple picking, pumpkin carving, trick-or-treat, scarves and boots! But the number one thing that is impossible to escape is pumpkin flavored everything! Currently, I am obsessed with my Wicks Studio Pumpkin  Chai scented soy candle!

I really enjoy the scent of this candle because it is not overwhelming, and instead seems to be the perfect blend of fall and pumpkin. The candle features a burn time of 60-80 hours and has two natural wood wicks.

Planning A Fun Family Picnic

No mess, no clean up, fun for the entire family. These are a few of the many things you look for when choosing a spot for a family picnic; but, it's not only the destination you need to consider. When planning a picnic for the family, there are a few ways to ensure it is easy, stress free, and enjoyable for everyone:

The food -
Go with finger food. Those you don't have to prepare, those which are easy to pack, and those you don't need to bring plates, dishes, and cutlery to eat. Not only will this eliminate the need for packing too much and clean up afterward, you also know the kids are going to enjoy these fun, easy snacks.

Have the kids help -
Let them prepare a few fun snacks (ants on a log or Peanut butter balls). They are going to choose projects you can do together, foods they are bound to enjoy, and you are also going to have fun preparing for the day with them.

Active spot -
Choose a destination everyone can enjoy. Whether it is a park with attractions, water slides, or other activities for the kids, or a beach where you can take a dip in the water after eating, choose a destination everyone will appreciate.

Go disposable -
Plates, forks, cups, napkins. Make the clean up and prep work as simple as possible. Choose disposable items you can toss at the end of the day. No worry, no stress, easy for everyone who is preparing and doing the clean up afterward. If you plan on going on a few picnics in the summer with your family then it might not be best to go disposable. Why not take a look at some of the picnic sets on offer. In the long run a good picnic basket set will save you money.

You want a day of fun in the sun, and a day everyone will enjoy to spend together. By making things stress free and simple, not only are you going to enjoy the day when planning and preparing, the kids are also going to enjoy the time they spend together with you as well.

Kitchen Organization Thanks to Youcopia! Giveaway ends 12/21/16

My husband and I have just purchased our first home and we are going to try and keep it as neat and organized as possible. I know this is going to be a big challenge, and most likely improbable, but thanks to the kind folks at Youcopia, we will atleast keep the kitchen a bit more put together!

I currently have three Youcopia products, and each one has done a wonderful job serving its purpose! I am so happy to share these with you and one of my readers will even have the opportunity to win some for themselves!

First is the adjustable lid or pan holder. It makes it super easy to store my new frying pans and their lids sideways in the cabinet. This way I don't have to move every single item in the cabinet to get to the largest frying pan that is stored at the bottom! The lid holder comes with 7 moveable dividers so you can place large or small lids on the holder and everything will fit snugly.

Another product I had the chance to test was the Food Container Storage Organizer. This product is simple to use, you just place it in a pull out drawer and store your to-go containers on it. It seems like when I am packing my lunch in the morning, I end up going through nearly every lid I own until I find the one that fits! Never again with this organized set!


The last product that I have from YouCopia is an amazing spice rack. This thing keeps my spice drawer organized and easy to access. I no longer slowly open the door and hope nothing falls on my head! I can be safe and secure in my own kitchen! I have to say that this is my favorite product so far.

My favorite aspect of these products is that they can be ordered online, or you can stop in your local Target and check to see if they have them prior to purchasing!  If you would like the opportunity to own some YouCopia products for yourself, enter the contest below! The winner will have the chance to pick any product of their choice, up to $40. Good Luck!

Win a YouCopia product of your choice #16

Honeywell Removable Top Fill Console Humidifier Review

My fiance has both eczema and asthma and has always been told that using a humidifier would ease his troubles. Up until I got this Honeywell Removable Top Fill Console Humidifier, he hadn't really taken the advice seriously. However, this product has really made a difference!

The humidifier holds a ton of water- 3 gallons total, which allows it to run a full 24 hours on a complete fill. This is awesome, because you do not have to worry about constantly refilling it. And when you do, it is easy to fill and even clean.

You will notice a difference in the air almost immediately. It is less dry and easier to breath. It also keeps your skin more moisturized which is much needed during the dry winter months. My skin is no longer chapped and dry. I highly recommend this to anyone who lives in a dry area. Be sure to check the Honeywell Humidifier on Amazon!

Toro Contemporary Floor Lamp with Shelf by Revel

My boyfriend recently moved into a new apartment and was seriously lacking furniture and lighting fixtures. Thus, I went on a hunt to find some pieces that would help make the place more livable. When I found this Toro modern floor lamp by Revel, I was in awe! It looked perfect and would be a great addition to his new place!

This is a combination of a shelving unit and lamp. This means it takes up less space, but still accomplishes the job effectively. I was expecting this to arrive in a huge box and was a little nervous, however, it arrived packed in a large shoebox sized container. It does take some assembly, but Revel makes it easy on us! There are really no directions to read. Instead, each piece has a number on it, and a piece of paper is included with a diagram of the lamp and all numbers.

No tools are even necessary, you simply screw the pieces together with your hands and in a matter of minutes, you have a completed lamp! I was happy that the light bulb was even included. Overall, the piece is beautiful and would fit in with nearly any decor. I was thinking about purchasing another one in order to have a set in the room. Be sure to check out the full listing on Amazon!
