Hawaiian Kettle Style Chips {review & giveaway}

January 1, 2012 10 Comments

I was contacted to try out Hawaiian Brand Chips and let you guys know what I thought! I hadn’t heard of Hawaiian Brand Chips but Chris and Nate both love to snack on chips and I love bbq so we were excited to try them out.

Hawaiian Kettle Style Potato Chips come in four unique and interesting flavors; Original, Luau BBQ, Sweet Maui Onion and Wasabi. These use a traditional Polynesian recipe that is original to these chips. You get a great island flavor and unique experience when you pull open a bag of these kettle style chips!

We were sent the Sweet Maui Onion and the Luau BBQ (I LOVE BBQ anything haha). The Sweet Maui Onion are seasoned with Sweet Maui Onion Flavor and cooked to perfection. I thought that they tasted like an onion-y chip. They were good and if you like sweet onions you will love these chips.

The Luau BBQ was my favorite of the two, they are sweet and spicy and you actually get that sense of spice which is missed often times or chips are just hot to be hot. These were great! Hawaiian Chips suggests putting them in a burger but we didn’t try that. I did do some with walking tacos instead of my usual chip and it was quite tasty.

You can also buy Sweet Maui Onion Rings and Luau Barbeque Rings if you prefer a ring to a chip. No matter what you pick from Hawaiian Brand Snacks you will love them! Grab a bag of Hawaiian Kettle Style Chips today and have an island experience in your kitchen!

One of you will get to try a variety for yourself! Enter below in the rafflecopter form.

Candle Warmers {review/giveaway}

December 4, 2011 13 Comments

Candle Warmers is a super fast growing company that wants to provide us a wonderful scent experience. Candle Warmers carries warmers, candles and accessories. Their warmers work from the top with a lamp bulb instead of from the bottom. This ensures your scent spreads quicker!

I was able to review the Aurora Candle Warmer Lamp, Seasonal Shade and a Holiday Scented Candle.

The Aurora Candle Warmer Lamp looks so pretty on our side table, this warmer retails for $34.99 and is available in pewter, bronze, black and brass . It’s not huge and it’s decorative. I have had candle warmers that warm from the bottom and they usually look like cheap plastic sitting there, Candle Warmers are a very pretty alternative to those! I was also sent the Winter Wonderland shade which just completes our little Christmas set up on the table. It’s very festive and I can’t wait to buy a couple more, one for everyday and one for Halloween! They retail for $14.99 and are very thick well made glass, they look gorgeous when they are all lit up. Lastly, I was sent a Jaime Clair candle in Christmas Day, these are available in three different sizes and retail from $9.99-$19.99.

These products are awesome! Within an hour of our first use we were smelling the candle and after a few hours when you walked in the door the whole front of the apartment smelled like Christmas Day. The candle smells amazing and we can’t wait to buy another warmer for the bedroom and get some vanilla or pumpkin candles. I love how it looks and I love how it’s so easy to use and the wax doesn’t get super hot. We’ve had Nathaniel around it and had minimal problems and he loves to smell it. I think my favorite thing other then looks is that I have warming this candle for HOURS every day in the few weeks I’ve had it and the wax has gone down MAYBE 1/4 of an inch. With my other candles I would be out of a candle and I hate that smoke smell when you blow them out! I am so impressed and pleased with the quality and performance of Candle Warmers.

If you want quality products that will not only enhance your décor but make your home smell delicious look no further then Candle Warmers!

Fusionbrands is a solution driven company where you will find a line of playful but practical items. Items such as silicone cooking tongs you wear called fingertongs or the crackpot designed to minimize shell debris and help you crack perfect eggs.

I was able to review poachpods; they are available in several colors; purple, pink and green just to name a few. Each set comes with two poachpods (one light, one dark) and retails for $10.00. We picked blue and green for our home. Poachpods aren’t just for poaching eggs! For Nate I was able to use them to make individual portions of gelatin or pudding and also just to put his trail mix/crackers type snacks in as a fun bowl alternative. I was also able to make mini omelets, mini frittatas and even mini bread puddings. You can use these in baking, cooking and molding. But, you can also use them to make a perfectly poached egg with no hassle.

Take your eggs, poachpods, salt/pepper, cooking spray (I used olive oil diffuser) a saucepot and water.

Put a few inches of water in the bottom of your saucepan, if you use too much you will end up with a MESS! Spray your poachpod with cooking spray, crack your egg into it, add salt and pepper and let it float! Cover your saucepan and give it 3-5 minutes and you will have perfectly poached eggs.

Double duty fun and playful products are what you will find at fusionbrands, visit them today!

Now for a giveaway, one of you will win your very own poachpods! Enter in the rafflecopter form below.
