Thermo Glasses

 I received my Serafino Double Wall Insulated Beverage and Coffee glasses from Ozeri to review.  This set is perfect for us to use since there are four of us in the family.  I  already packed away the Moderna Artisan that I got from them last time.

This is the  full description of this insulated glasses.

  • Set of 4 heat and shatter resistant borosilicate glasses that each hold 12 oz.
  • Stronger and more durable than common glass, each glass features a wraparound contour that provides a natural aesthetic grip
  • Patent-pending double wall design that suspends drinks within an inner wall, creating an engaging optical effect.
  • Designed to keep your hands cool with hot drinks and free of condensation with chilled beverages
  • Completely dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe; 
  • Ships in an elegant 4 color printed box with a 1 Year Warranty; Satisfaction Guaranteed

I like these kind of glasses because you can use it both for hot and cold beverages.  The packaging is really good, they make sure that  it won't get damaged when in-transit.  
The only thing that  I am not impressed with is the quality of how it's made.  As you can see in the above-photo, the finish  of the glasses is not really polished.  I found one glass with a damage too when I had the Moderna Artisan that  I previously reviewed.  These glasses are made in China so that's probably  why the  quality isn't to a high standard.  
I like the Serafino more than the  Moderna  because of it's height.  My kids can use their  glass straws perfectly with the  former glasses.  This is on sale now for $28.95, you can check it out by visiting this link.  Thanks again Ozeri for this opportunity.

Eco-Friendly Wooden Utensils

Mother's day is just around the corner and I am sure you are already planning what to get for your dear Mom, well, this might just give you an idea.  
I received three sets of eco-friendly wooden utensils from Ecommflash for review which includes Alder Spatula Curved, Alder Spatula Straight, and the  Juniper Spatula Salad Set
I love how they individually  packaged their products.  There's also little tags attached to it that say "From Estonia with Love"  and the packaging are made from our mother nature.
I use non-stick pans so I prefer using  these kind of utensils because they are not only good for yiour health but also good for  the environment.  Are you tired of getting  your Mom the same items every year for Mother's day?  Why not  try to get her a set of eco-friendly wooden utensils from Ecommflash?   Ecommflash has over 30 wooden items on sale at Amazon, you can check them out by visiting this link.

Thank you Ecommflash for giving me an opportunity to  try your  eco-friendly products.  I am loving them in my kitchen.

Ultimate Ice Cream Pint Collection

 The weather  is becoming  warmer as day passes by.  Although we have been getting a surprise cold weather once in a while, Spring is here eventually.  My kids were  delighted when I  showed them the big  package that we received from  Pierre's Ultimate Ice Cream.   They packaged the goodies really well using a styrofoam ice box and  dry ice.  The dry ice provide additional entertainment to my kids as well, will make a separate post for it. 
 The  package contained 6 pints with different flavors.  I was hoping they would send me the mango flavors but unfortunately, they didn't but now that I know how good their ice cream is, I will definitely check  their ice cream from the store to get the mango  flavor.  
 My son does not like pecan but  I  encouraged him to try this butter pecan flavored Ice cream.  He was hesitant at first but as soon as he tasted how good it was, he was hooked.  
We haven't tried the iHola Fruta Black Cherry Lemon  one but I am sure that it would be as good as the butter pecan one.  The chocolate lava cake is one of Pierre's  signature  Ultimate ice cream flavor. It has chocolate and vanilla  ice creams  with chocolate cake and fudge swirls.  
 The banana fudge chunks has  walnuts and fudge chunks.  This would be great to make a banana split  treat fir the kids.
 My husband's pick is this Chocolate Frozen yogurt.  He is on a diet now but  it doesn't mean he couldn't  have some.  He tried this one and love it!
 I love this pomegranate and blueberry  combination since I love pomegranate and blueberry fruits. 
Here are the varieties that you can try from  Perre's Ice Cream:
  • Hola Fruta is available in 7 pint flavors which includes black cherry  lemon, mango (the one I want), Margarita, Peach, Piña Colada, strawberry, and the one I showed above.  
  • Their signature includes banana fudge chunk, cherries and chocolate chunks, , chocolate lava cake, coconut fudge almond, exquisite vanilla, mocha mud pie, and nun butter snickerdoodle. 
  • Their Probiotic Yovationincludes  black cherries and chocolate chunks, butter pecan, cappuccino, chocolate,  moose tracks, vanilla pomegranate blueberry, and vanilla.  These smooth and creamy frozen yogurt have   probiotics added benefits in every irresistible bite
 Look at this  little man, he thought he doesn't like pecan but that notion changed with the Pierre's Ice cream lol.
My daughter  who isn't into sweets really enjoyed  her  ice cream, in fact she  asked for another serving that day. 
Pierre's.... It's our favorite Ice Cream NOW!  Thank you Pierre's for letting us try your  delicious ice cream! You can check them out and like their Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

Easter Sweets and Treats #A-Spice-A-Day#102-104

We visited my FIL yesterday after we attended church. My kids got their Easter treats from their Aunt Crystal, thanks Chris! My FIL was taking a little snooze when we arrived, he said it's the reason why he burned the green beans he was cooking earlier.

We were not able to attend the  Easter gathering at my FIL's home.
