Holiday Gift Guide: Aurorae Yoga Candles Review!

Hey guys, you probably saw my recent review of Aurorae Yoga but in case you forgot about how much lovely stuff they have, here's another review! Aurorae Yoga is a great company that sells a variety of yoga apparel and accessories.

I was sent their Lavender Soy Candles to review. 

Aurorae's collection of aromatherapy candles come with the intention of helping you concentrate on a particular state of mind while meditating or creating a calm personal space in your bedroom, bathroom, office or living space. Light the candle, breathe, and focus with an open mind. Each candle comes with a short meditation and a PLEDGE specifically for that scent. The 3-pack small tin candle set includes 3 35g candles, each burning at 6-7 hours per candle. The tin is recyclable and great for reuse for storage. Just wash with soap and water once candle is completely burned. Do not exceed 1 1/2 or 2 hours of burning time at a time.

I thought these candles smelled so great. My roommate likes to cook a lot and while the food smells good, lavender is just a great smell to just refresh the place once she is done. Lavender is supposed to bring harmony, too. They are also less messy than other candles because there's no soot or anything, keeps a clean home clean.

Overall, I think Aurorae has a great variety of products to give someone special this year for Christmas. These candles would make lovely little stocking stuffers or small gifts. Definitely check them out you won't be disappointed!

Holiday Gift Guide: Juice it Up! Review and Giveaway!

Hey everyone, you know I am all about Juice it Up! They have great smoothies and juices for every one. What better way to give your smoothie-addicted friend a holiday gift by giving them a gift card to Juice It Up?

This fall and winter season though, is saying “No!” to the over-promoted pumpkin trend and celebrating the fall season with a limited-edition Apple Pie Smoothie. With ingredients including fresh applies, salted cashews and cinnamon, the new Apple Pie Smoothie is a delicious and better-for-you alternative to your favorite holiday dessert. 

I am not a big fan of apple pies, I enjoy them but I am a pumpkin pie girl at heart. My brother is the apple pie fan in the household. But I do love apple pie flavored things, for instance, I think extra has an apple pie gum that I love. This smoothie though is the bomb, too. It's perfect combination of apples and sweetness, where it's not too sweet or too thick. You don't feel super bloated after it you feel content and satisfied. It's also gluten free unlike more real apple pies.

The salted cashews mimic pie crust and the crisp apples with a hint of cinnamon is reminiscent of Mom’s apple pie, but in a cup; it’s a healthier holiday treat for your on-the-go lifestyle.

Overall, I really enjoyed this smoothie, it's delicious. Definitely check it out and you won't be disappointed!

Holiday Gift Guide: Aurorae Yoga Tote Bag Review!

Hi everyone! My next review is for Aurorae Yoga. Aurorae Yoga is a great company that sells a variety of yoga apparel and accessories. This holiday season, Aurorae is the perfect place to go to for that fitness buddy you have.

They sent me one of their Yoga Mat Tote Bags in an awesome purple color.

The Aurorae Yoga Mat Tote Bag is designed for style and ease when heading to the studio, gym or weekend getaway. This oversized bag measures 30.5 inches wide, 6.5 inches deep, and 11.5 inches high. The reinforced straps are made of self fabric and are designed for comfort. They are fully lined with durable heavy duty polyester for easy care.

I really loved this bag. It holds my yoga mat (also an Aurorae one) very well. It's very sturdy but without the straps being to heavy or cumbersome on your shoulders. It also has two zip up pockets, one on the outside of the bag and one on the inside so you can stick your keys, phone, and just basic essentials in there and two pockets on the inside. It closes with three snaps up top.

Overall, I think Aurorae has a great variety of products to give someone special this year for Christmas. Even if they're not into yoga this bag would make a great weekender bag but also they have towels, flip flops, and more. Definitely check them out you won't be disappointed!

Holiday Gift Guide: Loot Crate "Combat" November Review!

That time of the month again a very special time of the month. Loot Crate TIME! Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box dedicated to all things geeky and gamey. But this time this month's theme is COMBAT.

This crate contained: 

- Exclusive Cute but Deadly Magnet Set

- Exclusive Fallout 4 Vault Boy Bobblehead

- Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 Pin
- Exclusive Street Fighter Comic Book
- Cute But Deadly Vinyl Figures

And...last but certainly not least...

- TMNT Shredder Sunglasses

I liked this crate but ESPECIALLY the Shredder sunglasses. Now I can do my Shredder impersonation all of the time ("Babies! They're Babies!" - Shredder in TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze). I plan on driving around town rocking these bad boys just to see if anyone thinks I'm crazy -- crazy awesome!

The rest of the Loot Crate was cool too. I have been hearing a lot of hubbub around Fallout 4 so while I am not a fan I know a few people that are and this will make a perfect little gift to give one of them. I'm not familiar with the Cute but Deadly guys either but they're pretty cute and make great little decor items to your fridge with the magnet and the figurine is great on your desk. The Hunger Games pin is great, I love The Hunger Games and will proudly wear it on a jacket or bag. I'm sad it's going to end soon.

Overall, I really enjoyed this crate. Loot Crate is great and makes an excellent gift -- whether you give someone a subscription or you subscribe yourself and end up giving some of the items away as little stocking stuffers or gifts -- it is pretty perfect. Definitely check it out you won't be disappointed!

Holiday Gift Guide is back!

It's November so you know what that means! Holiday Gift Guide time! Honestly, I am not a fan of rushing the holidays and I feel bad for Thanksgiving and how we practically skip over it to get to Christmas. But with blog reviews and giveaways, I do like to start the gift guide sooner than later for a few reasons: one is you are more prepared for the season and two is being that the giveaways last two weeks by the time they end we'll be already into the holiday season!

With that I bring you the start of the 2015 Holiday Gift Guide!
