I Won An Award

By: comment


OK sometimes I am a little slow posting things. This would be one of them. As you know I talk a lot about how much I like working with companies that give back. When I do I always mention EdenFantasys. As I have said, they do so much more then sell sex toys EdenFantasys has a forum section. One of the sections I like the best is the EdenFanstsys clubs. They have ongoing discussions about so many topics, including cooking, photography and Eden Gives Back. Eden Gives Back is where the EdenFantasys community comes together to make a positive change for someone facing a hard time.
I volunteered to reach out into the community at Christmas time to make a few families season a little brighter. 5 volunteers were chosen and I was  so excited to find out I was one of them. The EdenFantasys community raised over $700 for each of the volunteers to use. This made my job very easy, and some very excited children.
At the end of the year EdenFantasys gave me an award for working as a volunteer. I was excited about this but to be honest I feel they are the one who deserves the award. not many companies go out of their way to set up a spot for their customers to follow their lead and give back to their communities like they have.

Power Bag Sling Review

By: comment

I was recently sent a Powerbag Sling like the one pictured above. I figured there was no better place to try it out then Toy Fair 12 In NYC. To be honest I was a little nervous going though the airport security with it. I was a bit afraid they would think I was trying to carry a bomb on board. I was very relieved when I was able to pass right through without even a second glance. 
The Sling retails for between $100 and $140. Let me assure you, if your a techie or frequent traveler this may well be the best money you have ever spent. When I travel I am forever looking for a place to charge my phone or laptop. With this bag I was able to keep both with a full charge all day each day at the fair. 
The material is durable and the quality of workmanship on the bag makes me confident that I will have it for a long time. The bag also comes with a one year Warranty. 
The sling is big enough to hold all of your things without being to big or heavy for a female traveler. One of the features I like about it is that there is a reversible strap. Making it easy to carry it on either shoulder. 
There are four zippered sections on the bag. The front one is where you plug in your electronics. The middle one has room for a couple books or what have you. The back section is padded for your laptop. It will hold up to a 14″ laptop. On the side there is a small zippered section, I found this section perfect for a change purse, keys and my camera. 
I love that you can go on the Powerbag Website and buy an extra battery. You can also buy one with more power. 
The Powerbags also come in Backpacks, Messenger Bags and Briefcases. There is a size and color that is perfect for everyone. I can tell you that I will not travel again without my PowerBag. 
Though I was sent a PowerBag Sling to review all opinions of the product are my own and I was in no way influenced to write a positive review.

The Ultimate Skinny Margarita

By: 2 Comments

I have been doing a low carb. diet but didn’t want to give up my Margaritas. The average Margarita Mixer has 28 carbs. and 108 Calories per serving. Add to that the calories in a Margarita and I can see why I become overweight in the first place. 😉 
Skinny Girl came out with one that is 100 calories for a 4 oz serving. That is ok but I did better. I discovered 
Crystal Light Margarita Mocktail !
In 1.25 oz of tequila there is about 81 calories. In one serving of Crystal Light Margarita Mocktail there is 5 calories. This means this cocktail has 86 calories and more Tequila per serving. In my opinion the taste is much better. 
I mix up a batch of the Crystal light then put a cup full in the freezer until slushy. I then add the Tequila. So yummy I feel like I am cheating. 
I was in no way compensated for this post. All options are my own.
