My review: 

Bows N' Ties sent me a designer Tie named "Cavallieri " for reviewing.

Its silky texture made me fall in love with this. I really liked its design and pattern.

What is special about Cavallieri ?

Cavallieri is typically a tie with Italian design that is perfect for modern businessman. It is handmade from finest woven silk.

My husband also liked this Tie and it looked awesome with his maroon shirt. 

Good things:

1) Good quality : Its made up of fine silk. Silky texture gives it an elegant look.

This review and giveaway is done by Freebies in Mailbox
My review:
We got a box having different varieties of Newman's Own Organics products for review purpose.

I am tasting these goodies since 2 weeks and have gained some weight.Sharing my review of products here:

1)  Newman's Own Organics Pop's Corn Light Butter:-
They also make varieties of pop corn. I got Light Butter flavor for review. Each box contains 3 bags of popcorn kernels. It is very easy to make these. Just take a bag and put in microwave for around 2-3 minutes, and bag full of buttery pop-corns is ready. I liked its taste very much. Salt and butter are in correct proportion and taste is really good.
I had to reheat some un-popped kernels for second time. I usually face this problem with any brand of pop corn bags.

Only change can be to add more bags in 1 box. Its very difficult to control once you start eating these .

2) Newman -O's Creme filled cookies:
If you are familiar with Oreo, then these cookies look like Oreo cookies. These are wheat free,dairy free,creme filled  and chocolate cookies. These are made with organic flour and organic sugar.So if you eat dairy free products, you can go for these cookies.

I ate these cookies with coffee and tea. They are not too sweet and goes perfectly well with milk/coffee. I liked taste of these cookies. They are also good in controlling hunger.

3) Newman's Own Organics Hermits  :
These are soft cookies, made with organic raisins and organic molasses. I think this is not for kids and adults will love it. You can feel raisins ,figs and spices in each bite.

Hermit Cookies

I liked wordings on its packet:-
" No hermits were harmed, mistreated, pestered or annoyed in the making of these cookies ". 

If you don't like spices and only like sweet cookies, then you might not like it.

4) Newman's Own Organics Apricots :
These are dried Apricots full of potassium and vitamin A. This is very good for quick snack and you can keep it in a bag while going for shopping or mini vacations. I felt that I was eating original Apricot in each bite.

Other than these products Newman's Own Organics also sent me variety of fruit twists, pretzels, chocolates and mints. 

Overall I liked these products, If you want to try Newman's Own Organics products, then you can browse their website. You can also connect with them on Facebook 

The sale of Newman’s Own Organics products generates money for the Newman’s Own Foundation to give away. Since 1982 Paul Newman and the Newman’s Own Foundation have donated more than $350 million dollars to educational and charitable organizations worldwide.

MAVEA Water Filtration Pitcher Review & Giveaway

 
 

About: 

Mavea  is expert in making professional water filtration systems. MAVEA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BRITA Group. As a leading expert in water filtration we focus on our philosophy: "We want to be No. 1 in the sector of water optimization at the point of use."

This review/giveaway is done by Freebies in Mailbox.
Review:

We received a black color Mavea Elemaris Water Filtration Pitcher for review purpose.

We are using it from the first day we received it and I truly love this pitcher.This pitcher can hold 5 glasses of water. 

Why we liked this pitcher ?

1) Convenient pour through Lid:- 

I like this feature most. You just need to put filter under running tap. The lid opens automatically and once water level reaches top, it closes itself. Its very easy to fill this pitcher.

2) Soft grip handle and non-slip base:

I liked the way this filter is designed. Its handle is open at one end and has soft grip. Its base is also having anti-slip covering. So, there are least possible chances of slipping of filter and spilling of water.

3) No Carbon Particles : 

My old filter used to leave a lot of black particles in pitcher in the section where unfiltered water is stored. Mavea filter is not leaving any black particles in water. Also there is no need to soak filter before use per manual.

4) Speed of filtration:
This filters water faster as compared to my old filter. Old one used to filter in form of drops. But this one filters water very quickly.

5) Great taste of water: 
This pitcher not only filters water but also improves its taste.

Top of pitcher is having filter indicator, which indicates when filter should be changed. According to instruction book, filter cartridge should be changed after 40 gallons of water or once every 2 months.

I also checked price of its cartridge/filter online. 
Price of 3 cartridge is around $15-17


Some cons:-
This filter doesn't remove fluoride. So if your water has fluoride, you should look for another filter

In a nutshell, we are satisfied with Mavea Pitcher, and would be using this in our house in future.

Mavea can be bought from Amazon, Macy's, Sears, Bed Bath & Beyond and many other stores.

If you want to try Mavea products, then you can browse their website. You can also connect with Mavea on Facebook

Mavea is giving one water filtration pitcher to a lucky winner.

Giveaway is open in USA and Canada only and ends 9/30. Follow rules mentioned in RC. All entries will be verified.

Good luck and you can enter here to win:-

ManGroomer Stainless Steel DETAIL GROOMER Review and Giveaway- Ends 9/28(USA only)

This review/giveaway is done by Freebies in Mailbox

About:

MANGROOMER Stainless Steel DETAIL GROOMER comes with 3 interchangeable attachment heads for the trimming of your nose, neckline, sideburns, ears and eyebrows. It is made of the highest quality stainless steel for durability and is waterproof, enabling you the choice to use in or out of the shower and cleans easily by rinsing under the faucet.  

 

We got a Mangroomer Stainless Steel Detail Groomer for review purpose. This came in a nice little box. But once the box is opened,you can't use this for keeping your groomer.You will need some kit or box for keeping groomer and its attachments.

This groomer has three attachments. I tried to capture these in picture:

As the name suggests, this product is for men, so my husband reviewed and tested this product.

His Review:

1) Neckline and Sideburns trimmer:

This attachment worked best for trimming neckline and sideburns. Its quite effective, sharp and smoothly cleans neckline and sideburns. Good thing is that there was no pain or itching after its use. 

He liked this attachment.

2) Nose and Ear trimmer:

Round attachment shown in pic is for nose and ear trimming.He didn't need any ear trimming. so used it only for nose. It worked well, and groomed in just few seconds. No pain or no itching with this attachment.

This attachment also worked well.

3) Eyebrow trimmer:

He tried it for 5 minutes and found it bit slow.This product is for men and they don't need any fine shaped eyebrows.So, its good for slight trimming.

Good things:

1) Works even when wet, can use in shower.

2) Blades of neck trimmer are sharp and trim effectively.Can be used on daily basis.

Some suggestions for improvements:

Its not very convenient to fix eyebrow attachment on tool.This can be improved.

If you want to try Mangroomer products, then you can browse their website. You can also connect with Mangroomer on Facebook and Twitter.

Mangroomer is giving 1 Stainless Steel Detail groomer(ARV $19.95) , same as I received.

This review/giveaway is done by Freebies in Mailbox

About: Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is Tropical Traditions highest quality coconut oil.

My review:
Tropical Traditions sent me one quart jar for purpose of review. To be honest, in my house coconut oil is used only for hair oiling and massage.But this time, I thought to try their Gold Label Virgin Oil for cooking purpose.
I really liked the texture and its smell. This product looks pure and natural.
I searched for various recipes on internet, and then finally decided to bake cookies using this coconut oil. I got the recipe from internet. This is how my cookies looked.
Dry Fruit Cookies

Ingredients used:

1/3 cup whole flour

1/3 cup Semolina

1/3 cup chickpea flour

Coconut oil around 70-80 grams 

Pinch of baking soda

2/3 cup Sugar

Dry Fruits like Almonds, Cashew, Pistachio

Directions:  Take coconut oil and sugar in a pan and blend until sugar mixes well in coconut oil.Now mix all flours and baking soda in the mixture. Ensure you mix it very well. Make small round shape cookies and put layer of finely chopped dry fruits on these. Now bake these at 375 degrees for around 12-15 minutes.

These cookies were yummy. My kitchen and house were filled with coconut aroma.

I also use this oil for hair oiling. Overall, I liked this product.
