Love Bottle Review

I received a Love Bottle free to facilitate this review.

The Love Bottle is a 500 ml, reusable glass water bottle that is both eco-friendly and better for you than plastic! Love Bottle's new American made bottle is different than most designs I have seen. The lids are made out of lead free ceramics, food grade silicone, and stainless steel wire which creates the swing-top mechanism. The bottles which are made of 40% recycled glass are sleek and tapered to fit in a standard cup holder well. They each have a raised heart on the neck of the bottle, a UR Loved logo on the bottle of the bottle, and a new dual color heart printed on the lid. These are 100% locally sourced and manufactured by Owens Illinois (O-I) in the USA.

These new Love Bottles are very aesthetically pleasing. These bottles are more than just a beautiful bottle for drinking water from. It is also all about the message of spreading love as well. The message is strengthened by designs on the bottles that inspire us to love our: community, planet, body, and voice. With every sip from the glass bottle you can peek at the bottom to see the special message of UR Loved fused into the glass.

There are 8 new printed designs that were brought about because of their recently funded Kickstarter Campaign, for bringing production to America, which are:
  • Mountain Air (says 'Love Our Mountains' with orange valleys and brown & grey mountains)
  • Wild & Free (says 'Love Our Forests' with green trees)
  • Summer Breeze (says 'Love Our Waters' with blue waves and red fish)
  • Honey (honey bees & honey comb)
  • Love Seattle (Seattle Washington scene, Home Is Where The Heart Is design)
  • Love Portland (Portland Oregon scene, Home Is Where The Heart Is design)
  • Love New York (New York City scene, Home Is Where The Heart Is design)
  • Big City Living (city within a heart scene)
Among the other USA made designs are:
  • Believe (inspiring words, like believe and faith)
  • Elegance (a white lacy heart with birds hearts and flowers inside)
  • Ocean Blue (a blue whale and a sailboat)
  • Quiet Pond (koi fish in golden yellow and lotus flower in red with green leaves)
  • Shallow Stream (heron like bird and fish in green)
There are also two brand new designs for the holidays:
  • Peace (says 'peace' with a globe and leafy branches above all in blue and a white dove on the other side)
  • Family (fuzzy family of Polar Bears bundled with red winter scarves and the words 'family').
Honey design and Love Bottle

I love my two new Love Bottles! I picked out the Honey one from being a backer for their Kickstarter campaign and the Love Portland one for a review. The Honey one I love because I love sweet Honey Bees! They are my favorite pollinators besides hummingbirds. I love the Love Portland bottle because its design is so reminiscent of the local landmarks: The KOIN Tower, The US Bank Tower, The White Stag sign and building, and the OHSU Tram. I love Portland and I am glad I am so close to this wonderful city!


Love Portland design and Love Bottle

These new Love Bottles are easy to use and fill and they don't leak when the swing-top lid is shut correctly. They are great for bringing on trips and you can get bands for them so that they have more grip and protection. I also love that these are BPA free and dishwasher safe, although I would recommend hand-washing. The messages of the designs are so inspirational too.

Shopswell: Earn Money While You Shop This Holiday Season!

My second check through Shopswell.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming up soon and then Christmas! Shopswell is a place online to discover and share the best products and gifts curated by people like you. Shopswell saves you time and money too! Not only do you save, but you can earn money while you shop with their $10K Giveaway Shop.Share.Win Program!

Some of the awesome features that Shopswell has to offer.

I discovered Shopswell in June. At first it was just a fun hobby. I would make lists of things I liked or things that I wanted to gift others and much like Pinterest I could follow other lists and members as well. Unlike Pinterest you don't have to sift through products that aren't for sale and on Shopswell you can track a price point for a product on your list and be emailed as soon as it gets to that price. I love this because I can just sit back and relax after setting up the tracking and Shopswell does all the work for me. I just bought an extendable 13 foot, fiberglass handled fruit picker for my orchard for less than half the price it was to start with through Amazon.com by tracking it on Shopswell. Shopswell alerted me by email when the product I wanted dropped to the price I wanted to pay and I didn't have to keep watching the product on my own. Such a great time saver and I saved money!

Shopswell also turned out to be a great way to make money on the side. In August Shopswell started their $10K Giveaway Shop.Share.Win Program. This program lets you get rewarded for creating lists and sharing lists or products on Shopswell. For August I earned $691.25 and in September I earned $485!

Vincent Peach Constellation Cuff Review

Clockwise: Sunset Pearls - SRP $76.00, Seaplicity Earrings feat. Freshwater Pearls with Vermeil - SRP $66.00, Unisex Double Wrap Flat Braid Bracelet feat. Tahitian Pearl - $181.50, Constellation Cuff - SRP $74.00, Seaplicity Bracelet feat. Freshwater Pearl - SRP $132, Leather Pearl Ring - SRP - $99.
I received this piece free to facilitate this review.

Nashville designer, Vincent Peach, is a man of talent with an eye for beauty. His signature collection of hand-tooled jewelry is aptly named after himself, with new collections being added all the time. The jewelry covers necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and a brand new assortment of rings. These exquisite adornments are handmade with the finest Black Tahitian and freshwater pearls, pave diamonds, gemstones, shells, coral, antique coins, artifacts, fossils, hand-woven sterling silver rhodium chains, Vermeil, soft tanned leathers and exotic skins. They have a boho-chic, country western and rock n' roll style. All are artistically crafted in the USA.

These pieces are sought after by the elite: celebrities, entertainers, and trendsetters a-like. They have been spotted on Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Florida Georgia Line, Steven Tyler, Alice Cooper, Harry Connick Jr., Sandra Bullock, Reba McIntyre, Connie Britton, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Kathy Lee Gifford —just to name a few.

Vincent Peach Constellation Cuff and Bag

The Constellation Cuff is the piece I received to review from C.I. Visions. This bohemian piece is so unique and  caught my eye. Interwoven between strands of leather cord, that are also wrapped and braided, are iridescent white freshwater seed pearls. These are elegantly spaced apart to give the illusion of suspension, making it look like a constellation of stars glinting in a dark night sky. I love the natural, raw earthy design. I feel like a celebrity when wearing it.

The Constellation Cuff is lovely all on its own or paired with other pieces. The cuff also flexes to be able to fit different wrist sizes. To keep it safe when not being worn, this stunning cuff comes with a brown velvet drawstring bag embroidered with the Vincent Peach initials in gold thread. It is the perfect statement piece to wow for the holidays or one-of-a-kind gift for that special someone.

Hillsong OPEN HEAVEN / River Wild Album Review and Giveaway

I received this album free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

I love Christian worship music by Hillsong Music very much. Hillsong Worship is a branch of Hillsong Music with many wonderful vocalists. If you haven't heard these great artists and you love Christian music of praise and worship you should definitely check them out!

On October 16th Hillsong Worship released a new live album, Hillsong OPEN HEAVEN / River Wild. It is a treasure of uplifting, beautiful music that inspires us to strengthen our faith in Christ. It takes some of the great music of Hillsong Church's worship leaders and puts them on a CD for all the world to listen to. The album comes with an insert that has all of the lyrics of the songs so that you can sing along.

I really can't pick a favorite from this album because I love all the songs. O Praise The Name (Anástasis) has some wonderful lyrics about the Resurrection (Anástasis) of Christ and this I will have in my play list for Easter. I had heard Love On The Line before because I got it as a free download with the book, LIVE LOVE LEAD. This song is a beacon to how Christ is our Savior.  I love the unfailing faith in Christ that is a predominate theme in this album. All the songs have deep, powerful lyrics and engaging, emotional themes that praise Christ.

The title of this album is gorgeous. It compels me to envision the skies opening up to the everlasting Glory of God and when it does we on bended knee passionately worship Him. The second half of this title is in reference to Jesus being the source of Living Water...a River Wild that flows through all those that believe in Him.
"In Jesus, Heaven opens, and in us He stirs a river wild… A passionate, explosive love for God and for the humanity He created." - Cass Langton, Global Creative Pastor of Hillsong Church.



This album is beautiful. I will be playing it in my home often. I recommend it to everyone that loves Hillsong or anyone that loves praise and worship music.

Tracklisting:
  1. O Praise The Name (Anástasis) 
  2. Love On The Line 
  3. One Thing 
  4. Open Heaven (River Wild) 
  5. Transfiguration 
  6. What A Saviour 
  7. Heart Like Heaven 
  8. Jesus I Need You

Ann McCallum Books Eat Your Science Homework Cookbook Review

My family had the privilege of trying the Eat Your Science Homework cookbook by Ann McCallum Books from the Eat Your Homework Book Series for this review to use in conjunction with our own homeschool curriculum. This is a Schoolhouse Review Crew Review. All opinions expressed are my own or those of my family.

Ann McCallum is a teacher and writer of educational books for kids. She has written a number of books about math like: Rabbits, Rabbits Everywhere: A Fibonacci Sequence, The Secret Life of Math, Beanstalk: The Measure of a Giant, and Eat Your Math Homework: Recipes for Hungry Minds. In the Eat Your Homework Book Series she has written three books: Eat Your Math Homework: Recipes For Hungry Minds, Eat Your Science Homework: Recipes For Inquiring Minds, and Eat Your US History Homework: Recipes For Revolutionary Minds. These three books are all Illustrated by Leeza Hernandez.

Have you ever tried doing homework on an empty stomach? The growling and rumbling of your tummy and hunger pains are very distracting. They sure don't help you focus on the task at hand.

The Eat Your Science Homework cookbook helps turn your kitchen into a laboratory, recipes into experiments, and food into science. It is a 48 page paperback book that teaches bits and pieces of science while making stuff to eat. The book starts off with an introduction with a page on safety in the kitchen. Then it goes into six science themed recipes for children ages 7-10 to make with adults. Recipes range from popcorn balls to lasagna that has pizza ingredients. Each recipe has a page about the science, what ingredients and equipment you will need and the directions on how to make it, and lastly a page or two of science facts and a science sampler which gives more activities and experiments to do. After the recipes there is a section in the book that is a review of the science learned, a glossary, and an index. On the website you can also download an Educators Guide to expand upon the science concepts even more and give the student extra activities to do. Not only do you get to do fun science experiments, but you get to eat them too! This edible science will get your student thinking and make their tummies less grumbly.

How We Used This and Our Thoughts:

My girls who are 5 and 7 years old made the Sedimentary Pizza Lasagna recipe from this book with me for one of our dinners. We had fun tuning our kitchen into a science lab, making this meal for our family, and learning about the science behind rocks while we baked it. My kids love helping in the kitchen and researching all things scientific, so this was the best of both worlds. We learned about sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rock properties, what a mineral is, and the Mohs Scale of hardness while making this delicious food. The recipe turned out perfect and it was super yummy as well.

Making Sedimentary Pizza Lasagna from the Eat Your Science Homework cookbook.

Eat Your Science Homework is well written and the illustrations are adorable. The approach is easy to understand, even for my 5 year old. With help from parents or other care giving adults kids can have fun in the kitchen while learning key scientific ideas.

With Eat Your Science Homework I found that my girls understood the scientific concepts better than just telling them because it is makes the learning very hands-on. Besides the science it teaches, it also shows the student how to read and decipher recipes and how to use the equipment properly in the kitchen. I believe that all children should be able to know their way around the kitchen and recipes. My girls got to mix, stir, measure, layer, pour, spread, etc. The skills involved in preparing food, cooking and baking are skills that all children should acquire so they can grow up eating homemade, healthy well-balanced meals. This is the reason I involve my kids in the kitchen as much as possible.

Sedimentary Pizza Lasagna...look at the layers!

I highly recommend the Eat Your Science Homework cookbook for anyone who wants to help teach science in a fun, positive way with something more than just a science experiment in the end. We absolutely love this book by Ann McCallum and we are planning on purchasing the rest of the series.

BUY IT
You can purchase Eat Your Science Homework for $16.95 on the Charlesbridge books website.

Harry Connick Jr That Would Be Me Album Review #ThatWouldBeMe #O2O

We received this product free to facilitate this review. This post contains affiliate links which means I may receive a commission if you click a link and make a purchase. Thank you for supporting my blog!

Harry Connick, Jr. grew up in New Orleans, and it is here you will find the roots of his love for music and performing. He is a singer, actor, composer, pianist, philanthropist, husband, and father all wrapped up in one. At the age of 3 he learned keyboards and at the age of 5 he began performing. He has had several multi-platinum and gold albums, 25 million albums sold worldwide, Grammy, Tony and Emmy Awards; Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, and so much more. Although music is a big part of his career his family does come first. He has three daughters ranging in ages from 13-19 and a wife he has been married to since 1994.

That Would Be Me is the first album that Harry has stepped out of his comfort zone, both to work with producers Eg White (Sam Smith, Adele, Florence And The Machine) and Butch Walker (Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Pink) and to create the cover for the album which is a menagerie of instruments that completely form a picture of his face. I love the way he broke away from the norm. It shows that he can be great at more than just his usual. This album and new sound is such a wonderful change of pace.


My favorite tracks on this album are (I Like It When You) Smile, (I Think I) Love You A Little Bit and Songwriter. (I Like It When You) Smile is full of energy and has a great beat. (I Think I) Love You A Little Bit has a great groove and would be wonderful to slow dance to. I also think that Songwriter is has sort of a cool, funky 70's disco beat and I think the words to this song are sort of funny considering he is a songwriter.

Harry Connick Jr is a great musician and songwriter. I like his style and this new sound is great too. I would recommend this to anyone that loves Harry Connick Jr and wouldn't mind something new and refreshing from him.

Tracklisting:
  1. (I Like It When You) Smile
  2. (I Do) Like We Do
  3. Tryin’ To Matter
  4. Songwriter
  5. Do You Really Need Her
  6. You Don’t Need A Man
  7. You Have No Idea
  8. Where Prisoners Drown
  9. (I Think I) Love You A Little Bit
  10. Every Time I Fall In Love
  11. Right Where It Hurts

We Love Disney is a new album with a compilation of 12 artists performing popular Disney songs.

The featured artists that perform on this album are the hottest from the pop, rock, R&B, and country music scene and have made each song their own.

I love Disney music and this album is no exception. These artists are so very talented and bring their own unique interpretations to each Disney song. My favorites are the NE-YO version of Friend Like Me from Aladdin, Lucy Hale & Rascal Flatts' version of Let It Go from Frozen, Kacey Musgraves' version of A Spoonful of Sugar from Mary Poppins. The NE-YO's version of Friend Like Me from Aladdin has a great swing to it and I love the beat. We've all heard Let It Go from Frozen, but this country version from Lucy Hale & Rascal Flatts is awesome! I am a big fan of both artists. I also love the upbeat fast paced country remix of Kacey Musgraves' version of A Spoonful of Sugar from Mary Poppins because it is so much fun.

Watch NE-YO's swing version of Friend Like Me from Disney's Aladdin...

Seal 7 Album Review #Seal7 #O2O

We received this product free to facilitate this review. This post contains affiliate links which means I may receive a commission if you click a link and make a purchase. Thank you for supporting my blog!

Seal is a British soul and R&B, Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum singer-songwriter. His music has garnered many accolades and awards. He has a unique husky baritone voice that fans like my husband and I love.

7 is his 9th studio album and 7th full length album is set to be released on 6 November 2015 by Warner Bros. Records. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy to listen to and review. Seal explores the emotion of love in this album and all its complexities, eccentricities, and connections. To properly discover and accomplish the story of the words and music he reunited with his producer Trevor Horn.

As Seal puts it, “I tried to capture all of the wonderfully different dynamics of love, whether it’s the anger, the acceptance, the bliss, the sadness, the elation, or the recklessness. It’s this emotion and the ways it makes us feel. It’s about the extreme joy and the extreme regret as well as all of the crazy things love makes us do.”




This album is passionate, deep, profound, and sincere. Seal soulfully sings about the emotion love in multiple different ways that I believe are very identifiable with its listeners. The feelings in this album are really strong and the connection is very deep. My favorite songs on this album are Every Time I'm With You, The Big Love Has Died, and Love. Along with Seal's rich voice, I love the piano in Every Time I'm With You. The message is beautiful as well. The Big Love Has Died is a bit heart wrenching, but definitely relatable to anyone who has lost love. Love is my absolute favorite song on this album. Its climactic culmination in just voice and piano is the perfect ending to this album.
