You need one of these blankets for your next camping trip or picnic!

I received this product from Coalatree for review.  Coalatree offers a wide range of apparel, hammocks, blankets and accessories.  Their products are popular with people who love spending time outdoors for work or for play. 

The product I received is the Kachula Adventure Blanket.  Described on the Coalatree website as "the Swiss Army Knife of Blankets", the Kachula is very versatile and can be used for all of your outdoor blanket needs.  Whether you are camping, going to a music festival, spending the day at the beach or going on a picnic; this blanket is perfect for every situation.

You can use the blanket to cover up with to keep warm, stuff it into itself to form a pillow to lay your head on or turn it into a rain poncho with the snap attached hood.  The hood can be detached and stored in a secret zippered pocket when it is not needed.  It is water resistant, durable and can easily be packed in a bag for easy carrying.  

Another great thing about this blanket is that you can take several of them and snap them together to make a bigger blanket.  A single Kachula Blanket measures 50" by 72".

You can find the Kachula Adventure Blanket on the Coalatree website HERE.  It is available in several different colors and designs.  The retail price is $79.

       

The Keebos iPhone Necklace: A Durable and Versatile Phone Holder That Leaves Your Hands Free

I received this product from Keebos for review.  It is currently available only for iPhones.  You can purchase it on their website for the suggested retail price of $35.00 each.  They are perfect for summer walks, camping trips, a day at the beach, traveling and for teens as they prepare to go back to school.  Keebos is ideal for any situation where you would like to take your phone along with you, but need to keep your hands free.

I was very excited to receive the Keebos. The variety of ways to wear this item makes it the most durable and versatile phone holder I have ever owned. The Keebos charm that is attached also gives it a “designer” appearance.

The case itself is clear and very durable. The cords are long and thick, capped off stylishly. They come in a variety of colors and patterns. Adjusting the length of how you want to wear it reminds me of a bolo tie, excellent quality and stylish. My preferred way to wear it is cross-body. 

My fiance and I take nightly walks and the Keebos allows me to keep a hand free and one to carry a bottle of water. When my phone rings I just lift it up since it hangs upside down. I don't have to worry about it falling out of a pocket or accidentally dropping it. The Keebos really gives a sense of security for my cell phone.

On the weekends I do photography as a hobby and while I have my equipment in front of me I wear my Keebos across my back. I know my phone is safe!

The card holder on the Keebos is another bonus because whether my phone is hanging upside down or upright in my hands my credit cards are completely safe. They are completely secured on the top and the bottom preventing anything from falling out, plus no one can see what is in there! 

I love that shipping of Keebos is free in the US and in most cases orders can ship out same day. Customer service is also readily available online or via email. I have received many compliments on my Keebos.... my Android friends are so jealous!

Complete your back to school look with a pair of these sunglasses!

I received these Horizon 1 sunglasses from Next Horizon Eyewear, LLC for review.

These unisex sports wrap sunglasses come in three different unique lens shapes so you can customize your look and the type of protection you want.  Unlike most other brands, the lenses on the Horizon 1 extend above the frames, in a free flowing forms inspired by nature and the great outdoors.  They were created by the company's founder, Andrew Cochran, who has a passion and love for design and nature. 

The frames are medium adult size.  They are black and are made of a material called Grilamid TR 90 polymer.  It's a low density, strong and flexible material that has a high resistance to UV and chemical damage. 
 

The three shapes you have to choose from are called Slope, Wave and Mesa.  

The Slope lenses converges in the center with dramatic lines that look powerful and sophisticated.

The Wave lenses rise above the eyes like cresting waves and looks modern, glamorous and intriguing.  

The Mesa lenses provide extra eye protection by arcing over the frame.  The streamlined upper edge gives the illusion that you are moving, even when you are standing still.

Enjoy delicious iced coffee on a hot summer day with Grady's Cold Brew Kit

I received this product from Grady's Cold Brew for review.

My husband loves his coffee.  But during the hot summer, he often doesn't want to drink anything hot.  A great solution for that, while still allowing him to have his coffee, is iced coffee.  Unfortunately, it isn't convenient to make iced coffee when you are camping or spending the day at the beach.  But thanks to Grady's Cold Brew Kit, that problem has been solved!

The cold brew kit is a reusable pour and store pouch that has a built in spout for pouring.  You can easily throw it in the cooler and take it along with you on your camping trips and beach days.

The kit includes 12 of these 2 oz. bean bags that contains ground coffee beans, chicory and spices.  You can purchase additional bean bags on the Grady's Cold Brew website.

To make your iced coffee, just drop 4 of the bean bags into the pouch, add your water, seal it up and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.  In the morning, remove and discard the bean bags and then fill your cup with iced coffee.  Add milk and sugar, or any flavorings that you desire and enjoy!  Once the pouch is empty, rinse it out and make some more!  It's that simple!

Needless to say, mu husband is addicted!  And if you like iced coffee, I think you will be too!  Purchase your own Grady's Cold Brew Kit for $30.00 from their website HERE.   

    

Try IcyBags and Bibkins this year at your 4th of July BBQ!

I received these products from IcyBags and Bibkins for review.

IcyBags are convenient pouches with a freezable gel insert that will keep your lotions, cosmetics, sunscreen, baby products, medications, etc. chilled.  The IcyBag has a thermal insulated lining and is small enough to fit inside a purse, diaper bag or beach bag.  It also has a clip that allows you to clip it to another bag for easy access. 

  

You know how it is, you're at the beach and need to reapply your sunscreen.  So you open the bottle and pour some into your hand, only to be shocked at how warm it is.  If it is in the sun, it can get hot and is very uncomfortable to apply to your skin.  Or maybe you have a medication that needs to stay chilled.  It's inconvenient to store it in the cooler with your foods and drinks.  And what a disaster it is to pick up your favorite lipstick to freshen up your lips, only to discover that it has melted in the sun!  

When you use an IcyBag, you don't have to worry about things like that.  Simply put the gel pack in the freezer and let it freeze.  Then place it inside the IcyBag, along with the items that you want to keep cool.  The IcyBag will keep them cool for hours!

You can purchase IcyBag HERE, in your choice of blue, pink or black for $18.99 each with free shipping.

Do you suffer from SED?  The telltale signs of Sed, or Sloppy Eating Disorder, are spots and stains on the front of your shirt or dress.  

Chronic SED sufferers have tried to hide their condition by avoiding eating in public or by always carrying with them a duplicate, identical shirt or dress to the one they are wearing.  When they inadvertently drop food on their clothes, they quickly sneak off to the bathroom and change their soiled clothing.  They hide the evidence and no one is ever the wiser.  But it can get very expensive having to buy all of your clothing in duplicates, not to mention the inconvenience.  But I have a better solution.

   
This is the Bibkin.  Created by Marc Polish and Associates, a small New Jersey based company, the Bibkin allows you turn any napkin into a bib to protect your clothing.  Bibkins adjust to fit the smallest child or a large aduly.  Whether worn by an adult, or a child, it will function the same.  Just place the bipkin around your neck and attach the two clips on the ends to the corners of a napkin.  This will hold the napkin in place so it can protect your clothing.  

You can purchase Bibkins HERE.  Get 2 Bibkins for $9.95 plus shipping and handling or get the Friends and Family Pack of 6 Bibkins for $19.95 plus shipping and handling.  If you need larger quantities, you can purchase in bulk.  The more you purchase, the lower the price for each.

Thanks to Bibkins, people with SED no longer have to suffer in silence!  

I just want to add that, although this review is written with a focus on humor, Bibkins is a genuine product.  It is great for those of us who are prone to getting food stains on the front of our clothing. 

Take these along with you on your next day trip to the beach!

I received these products from Highwave for review.

This is the Beer/Shot Stein.  Pack it in your cooler when you go to the beach so the stein is nice and cold when you use it.  Pour your ice cold beer into the stein and enjoy the refreshing feeling of drinking a cold one a hot summer day.  But that's not all, flip the beer/shot stein over and you will find a built in shot glass for those times when you need something a little stronger.  The beer stein hold 16 ounces, or 1 pint, and the other side holds a 3 oz. shot.  Made with an all stainless steel double wall, it will keep your beer cold longer.  There is no need for a coaster because this stein will not sweat.  It is perfect to use during your day at the beach, lounging by the pool, while camping or for just a lazy day at home.  You can purchase the beer/shot stein now from the Highwave website HERE for $11.20.

  
This is the Time Capsule Reusable Bottle.  Made with BPA free materials and vacuum sealed stainless steel, this bottle will keep your drinks cold for up to 24 hours.  For hot drinks, it will keep them hot for up to 12 hours.  It will hold a full 25 oz. of your favorite beverage.  That's a full bottle of wine!  It has a removable carry strap for easy portability, that is carabiner friendly and easy to take along with you.  It will not sweat, so forget the coaster!  It is 11" tall with the cap on and has a hardy rubberized finish that is available in 6 different colors (Blue Silk, Green Silk, Purple Silk, Red Silk, Graphite Silk and Stainless).  You can purchase the Time Capsule Bottle from the Highwave website HERE for $25.00.    

These shoes from Okabashi are super comfortable and look great!

I received these shoes from Okabashi to review. 

I was highly anticipating receiving my first pair of Okabashi shoes. I was super pleased by the rich pink color. The first thing I noticed was the smooth design appearance of the sandals and the textured support of the foot bed going up the arch.

These sandals are easy to wear and a perfect fit. The wedge heel actually gives my calf muscles a bit of definition! My daughters saw the sandals and asked to try them on. Even though they didn't fit them, I was asked where they could get their own.

It is very easy to clean the sandals and they are perfect for me to wear to work or other events. I am also not afraid to wear them in the rain and there is no fear of wiping out in them like with typical flip flops.

I had the occasion to wear them out all day without experiencing any of the foot fatigue that I normally experience with my other flat sandals. 

They come in a variety of colors that would compliment any summer attire.

Needless to say I highly recommend these to be your next comfortable summer sandals. And treat yourself to a cute pedi so you can really show them off!

The sandal I received is called the Splash sandal. They are available in a large variety of colors, but I chose hot pink. Okabashi shoes are made in the USA and are 100% recyclable.  You can purchase the Splash sandal in your choice of color (sea glass, black, navy, hot pink or slate) from the Okabashi website HERE for $18.99. They also have several other styles, so check out their website!

BeatBox Beverages make a perfect drink for a day at the beach!

I received these beverages from BeatBox Beverages to review.

When you take your kids for a family day at the beach, you might pack some juice boxes for them to drink when they get thirsty.  These Beatbox beverages are the adult version of juice boxes.  They are not for children, they do have alcohol in them.  They come in brightly colored containers and have 11.1% alcohol by volume.  They have only 8 grams of sugar per serving and 130 calories per 5 fluid ounce.

Referred to as "The World's Tastiest Portable Party Punch", it is wine based and comes in 4 delicious flavors:  Blue Razzleberry, Pink Lemonade, Fruit Punch and Fresh Watermelon.  They are all equally delicious and can be served cold or frozen into a slush.  The single serve tetra paks that they come in are perfect to take along with you when you're on the go.  You can reseal them after they are opened and they are completely recyclable.  Pick some up and try it today!
