Confessions of a Caffeine Addict

I was so excited to get into the campaign for BzzAgent Green Mountain Fair Trade coffee. I love my coffee in the morning to wake up!

The entire idea of fair trade was a little confusing at first because I had never heard the term before. If you do not know the term the basic definition is an organized social movement aiming to help producers in under developed countries make better trading conditions and promote sustainability. In doing so the farmer or goods producers get a fair amount for their products and helps them to build better communities for the future.

My BzzKit included 4 different flavors of coffee and a few coupons to pass out to my friends and family so they could try the products for themselves. The K-Cup lids were such a vibrant spring green color and it distinguished these 'special' coffees from my regular everyday blends.

I tried all 4 flavors on different days to see how I felt about each one. I also tried them at different times of the day dependent upon my feelings at the time.

Sumatran Reserve was excellent when I needed a bolder taste and stronger scent, Vermont Country Blend and Columbian Fair Trade Select were great mid-day blends when you wanted the coffee but not the high-test kick you usually need when you wake up, and Wild Mountain Blueberry was mild and soothing either with breakfast or mid-morning.

Each flavor was distinctive and had a smooth finish. There was no bitterness and the coffee taste did not linger after I had finished.

My favorite flavor of the 4 was the Wild Mountain Blueberry . If you are a coffee lover then these Green Mountain blends are a conscientious way to have your coffee and help the growers and the environment all at once.

Strong, Functional Umbrella

This is absolutely the best umbrella I have owned in a long time! It is functional and fashionable! I bought the turquoise blue because I am so tired of the sea of black umbrellas I see every time it rains. I wish more people would have bright colored umbrellas to brighten up those dreary rainy days. But I regress... This umbrella is different from the moment you get it home. You can see the difference in just the opening of it when you see the sleeve it comes in and the material the sleeve is made of. The umbrella is made of that same material. It is thicker than your standard umbrellas you can see that and the material feel is soft yet durable. When you see the handle it has the auto open/close button and a wrist strap. The feel of the handle is almost like those plush microfiber materials yet made of plastic. It felt very comfortable in hand and did not slip. When you finally open the umbrella there is a black 'powdercoat' on...

The Scent of Christmas - All Year!

I love the smells of Christmas! Pine trees, cold air, snow, and of course, Peppermint! I recently discovered the benefits of pure essential oils for health, wellness and home uses. It was recommended to me that I try using an oil product in my diffusers/humidifiers in order to help clear up my sinuses. Right now it is cold and flu season although it is unseasonably warm in the NorthEast. I found this product and researched the company and learned a lot about them and the products they make. They are community oriented and based in the United States. I have used this now for a few weeks and find that my friends were spot on. It soothes my nasal issues and I find that I breathe easier. The scent is strong but not overbearing. Some scents can make you cough and your eyes burn, but not these. I find it brings great memories of Christmastime and heath and home. It also is great to ward off those little rodents in your h...

Comfortable Deep Sleep Mask

This Dream Essential Silk Premium Black Eye Mask is a very high quality sleep mask that I can recommend for anyone. It is extremely luxurious. Made of 100% silk. It allows the user to adjust the band in the back to their own comfort level so it is never too tight or too loos. There is additional padding in the undereye/nose bridge area so that it does not lay flat against your face. There were no material lines or marks on any part of my face upon waking up. This mask completely blocked out 100% of the natural light in the room and the 'false' ligthing from the cable box, alarm clock, etc. I was able to nap during the day when I had a migraine and still use it at night to sleep through. It is also great to travel with. I took it on a recent train excursion and it kept the sunlight out so I could nap on the train and not be woken by the lighting. It is very well made and easy to care for. #dreamessentials Disclosure:...
