I got to try these fun colored ice cube trays! Here's what I like about them:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>The silicone is safe (BPA free!) and sturdy</li>
<li>You can pop them in the dishwasher</li>
<li>It is easier to get your cubes out than traditional trays. With my old one, there was always that one ice cube that wouldn't budge! Now all of them come out easily.</li>
<li>The square shape is unique and fits better into my water bottle.</li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This spiralizer came with three little inserts that had the blades to cut veggies three ways. I love that two of them are stored in a spot beneath the machine! Very easy to store. In this photo you can also see the little suction cups on the feet, which makes it much easier to use since it doesn't slide around on the counter. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One thing I can say about this company is that they have excellent customer service. Mine initially had a little smudge of color on the white part, and they wrote back right away explaining to tel Amazon about it. Amazon made it right, but the folks at WonderVeg even contacted me again just to make sure Amazon handled it correctly. They were so nice and I could tell that if I had any questions about how to use their product they would be excited to answer them. I highly recommend this product!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Recently I started to do some research about CoQ10. It turns out, there have been quite a few scientific studies that prove its benefits to a variety of body systems. </span><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">I tried out </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquinone-Ubiquinol-Supplement-Cellular-Capsules/dp/B00X4ZGPKM/ref=sr_1_7?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1433547824&sr=1-7" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;" target="_blank">Island Vibrance's CoQ10 supplement</a><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"> and I'm on the first week of using it. I feel great! Here is what I like about it:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Gives energy to cells and to you in general</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Contributes to heart and brain health</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Keeps cells protected from free radical damage, which can combat effects of aging on cells</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Helps with immune, nervous, and cardiovascular systems</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Made in the USA</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">NO artificial ingredients.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Gluten Free, Soy Free, Sugar Free, Dairy Free, No GMOs.</span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinnHTceXPUjzfD6X2n7SLETuEfzzgLtbSTxKzBNp9dn-DgtIHxIlMSye3rH7eryoRI7wl_Mf6szhdM0j-xEXvHsGLR84MthMvXwMyiyOIUysqg_U_Cw5yLzeQBeM-ivx7sppzSJJLsfmI/s1600/71l7oAGuQ1L._SX522_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinnHTceXPUjzfD6X2n7SLETuEfzzgLtbSTxKzBNp9dn-DgtIHxIlMSye3rH7eryoRI7wl_Mf6szhdM0j-xEXvHsGLR84MthMvXwMyiyOIUysqg_U_Cw5yLzeQBeM-ivx7sppzSJJLsfmI/s400/71l7oAGuQ1L._SX522_.jpg" width="400" /></a></li>
</ul>
Here is a little more info about CoQ10 from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquinone-Ubiquinol-Supplement-Cellular-Capsules/dp/B00X4ZGPKM/ref=sr_1_7?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1433547824&sr=1-7" target="_blank">Island Vibrance</a>:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">"CoQ10, short for Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble nutrient that is produced naturally by our bodies. It is found in every cell (because it is essential to the process of creating cellular energy) and concentrated in the organs that require the most energy in order to function such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and muscles. As we age, our CoQ10 levels become depleted and the ability of our cells to produce enough energy decreases, which causes degeneration of muscle, organ, brain, and overall functioning.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">CoQ10 supplements give the cells the extra boost they need in order to continue functioning at an optimal level. The increase in cellular energy strengthens the cardiovascular system and therefore helps to maintain a healthy blood pressure. It also boosts cognitive function and brain health. Additionally, CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that helps support the immune and nervous systems, protecting cells against free radical damage. "</span></span></blockquote>
This seems like a very versatile supplement which could have benefits for people with a variety of health issues. Always ask your doctor first of course!<br />

I love "As Seen on TV" products. The problem is that they usually don't live up to the promises that are made on the infomercials. I got a chance to try out the<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clothing-Upholstery-Furniture-Including-Required/dp/B00W3DF62O" target="_blank"> Lint Remover by Furzie</a> to see if it lived up to its claims.<br />
<br />
Here is what the Furzie is SUPPOSED to do: The Lint Remover by Furzie will get dog or cat hair off of a variety of surfaces, and it gets human hair and lint off too. Furzie can be used on many types of clothing, upholstery or furniture. Works on many fabrics: cotton, linen, cashmere, silk, flannel and wool. It is 100% satisfaction guaranteed.<br />

I tried the Lint Remover by Furzie on my cotton tweed couch to remove the hair left my my dog, but it didn't get up many of her short white furs. I then tried it on yoga pants, another magnet for dog fur. Nope, didn't work. I tried it on my black cotton work pants. No dice- it mostly just moved the fur around. I was pretty disappointed, so I tried to use it as a duster on my windowsill That actually did work pretty well-it is well designed for dusting. However, it's not marketed for that, and I think I could probably find a better duster.<br />

Feeling a little deflated, as this is the first product I've reviewed that didn't live up to its claims and I thought I would feel bad writing a negative review, I contacted the company that sells the Lint Remover by Furzie. I expected them to respond with some tips or tricks to help me use it, or for them to apologize for my dissatisfaction with the Furzie. Instead they said, "That seems very strange to us as the product has worked for 135 reviewers?" That's all. No apologies, no suggestions. I was shocked! Most companies are so helpful if you have a problem!<br />
<br />
I can honestly say this is the most unhelpful, dissatisfying, and downright rude response I have ever had when I've written to a company. I felt they were questioning my integrity and competence. So although I had high hopes for the Lint Remover by Furzie, based on my experience I would not suggest buying this product or doing business with this company in the future. I guess I will have to continue in my quest for a useful as seen on TV product!<br />

What's great about them?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Super cute styles that are great for boys or girls because the colors are gender-neutral. These colors can match with any outfit, too.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">They're 100% cotton .</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">They are the softest bibs I've ever felt! The lining is fleece so it is not going to irritate baby's delicate neck.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Adjustable (have snaps with 3 settings/sizes).</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Machine washable (air dry them!).</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Extra absorbent for extra drooly little ones.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Money-back guarantee- you can return them if there's a problem, even if you've already tried them out.</li>

One thing to keep in mind is that since they're "drool bibs" they aren't for feeding baby in. They work great for drool, but I would pick something that is wipeable for babies while they're are eating solid food.</div>

I love a cold drink, especially since Spring is here, so I was happy to try out the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kuuk-Silicone-Ice-Ball-Maker/dp/B00R1D0W0W/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1427043864&sr=1-1&keywords=Kuuk+Silicone+Ice+Ball+Maker+-+Small+%28Twin+Pack%29+Green+and+Blue" target="_blank">Kuuk Silicone Ice Ball Maker</a>. I got the small twin pack which included a green and blue ice ball maker. You've probably seen ice balls before in fancy restaurants when ordering scotch. Scotch is nice, but I thought these would work just as well for making non-alcoholic drinks for the family!<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">When I opened the package, I noticed there were no instructions. I decided to wing it and it wasn't that tough to figure out. </span>I filled the bottom half of the ice maker with water (1.5 Tbsp.) and put the top on. Then I used a small measuring cup to pour water into the hole on the top (2 Tbsp.). If a little ran over after it filled up, it was no problem because it was caught in the top of the tray and didn't spill all over the counter.</div>

When I made these a second time I just put water straight from the tap into the whole thing put together, and I noticed when you fill one ball it fills the others too. The ice balls didn't turn out as nice when I did it this way, though. I pinched the top to get the excess that was in the lip of the filling hole- this part is key otherwise you will have little "handles" coming out of the top of your ice! I popped them in the freezer, and w<span style="text-align: center;">hen I took them out about 4 hours later, they were pretty easy to get out of the molds. </span><br />

I did a test to see how fast they melt compared to my regular ice cubes. They absolutely last longer- I would say 1 ball lasts about an hour, depending on the conditions and the drink. A regular ice cube lasts about 15 minutes.<br />

-Made of flexible high-quality silicone (there's no aftertaste)<br />
-Easy to clean & dishwasher safe (though I don't know how dirty they will get unless you use them for things besides water!)<br />
-Lifetime money-back warranty<br />
<br />
<b>CONS</b><br />

I think these ice balls would be great for putting in cold drinks for on the go. Since they melt slower, they will keep your drinks cold longer while you're out running errands.</div>
<br />
Next, I'm going to add some fresh herbs or fruits in there before I freeze them. I'm imagining freezing some mint leaves, rosemary, or lavender buds in them and adding them to a big glass of sparkling lemonade- so fancy! Or maybe adding raspberries to the balls and popping them into a pitcher of sangria- yum! If you have kids, you could freeze different flavors of fruit juice in each one and make a rainbow drink.

I'm *not* pregnant, but I want my body to be healthy when I decide to try, so I've been taking <a href="https://shop.thorne.com/basic-prenatal" target="_blank">Thorne Basic Prenatal Vitamins</a>. It has the right form of folate for me (I am not supposed to take folic acid due to a mutation in my genes called <a href="http://mthfr.net/" target="_blank">MTHFR</a>), and it also has a <a href="http://www.methylcobalamininfo.com/methylcobalamin-vs-cyanocobalamin/" target="_blank">better form <span style="font-family: inherit;">of B12</span></a><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">.</span></span></span> It was going well, but then I found this other great prenatal called <a href="http://www.seekinghealth.com/optimal-prenatal-protein-powder.html?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=products&gclid=CKnPsdbRq8QCFdgDgQodK7UAMg" target="_blank">Seeking Health Optimal Prenatal Powder</a>. It has every nutrient you need and more! The problem is that it costs a lot more than Thorne. Thorne is about $26 for a one month supply, where Seeking Health is $80 for a one month supply. Wow! But I still wanted to try out how Seeking Health tasted, so I bought the 15 day supply for $40.<br />
<br />
Since I've already been making a green smoothie for breakfast everyday, I thought I would just switch it out for this one. I decided to save money I would use the Thorne every other day and alternate with Seeking Health. So far it has worked great! I bought the chocolate flavor protein powder, and it doesn't taste amazing just mixed with water. Not terrible, but not something I'm excited about drinking. The website says to mix it with frutis and vegetables to improve the taste, but I wasn't sure which would make it taste better and which would make it taste worse! <br />
<br />
I figured since I already have the know-how about making regular smoothies, I could make a few changes to make it tastier. To turn it into a smoothie, I add quinoa milk, ground flax seed, half a banana, and 3-4 tablespoons of peanut butter (or other nut butter). I think the peanut butter is key- it makes it taste less tart and more delicious. Then I pop it all into my NutriNinja blender.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;"> I actually look forward to it now! Somehow drinking a smoothie is easier than taking the three pills that I have to take for the Thorne Basic Prenatal. You can also pop in other vitamins you take and blend them into the smoothie- no swallowing pills! Perfect.</span></div>

I love Valentine's Day. I know people call it a "hallmark holiday" but to me, it represents not only romantic love but the love we have for family and friends. </div>

Every v-day I try to make one new food to celebrate the occasion, and usually I send out handmade valentine's cards too. This month my family and I had a lunch to celebrate, and I cooked a love-themed lunch! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the menu was: salad, <a href="http://damndelicious.net/2014/03/28/shrimp-scampi/" target="_blank">shrimp scampi</a>, rose lemonade, and almond chocolate-dipped strawberries for dessert.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how I made the salad: a valentine's explosion!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I used a small cookie cutter to cut hearts out of the cucumber slices.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">The cheese was cut into little XO and heart shapes with a mini cutter meant for linzer cookies. The green pepper slices were easy to make little hearts from with the same cutter-next time I'd use red peppers so they stand out more. </span>I carved the carrots into little hearts in the method <a href="http://www.recipebyphoto.com/heart-shaped-carrots-tutorial/" target="_blank">described here</a>. <span style="text-align: start;">I popped it all in a bowl with some spinach and topped it off with almonds.</span></div>

We'd been wanting to make up some new business cards, so the news came just in time. <br />
<br />
The company that we won the logo from is called Dzire to Dzine or D2D). If you check out their website <a href="http://dzire2dzine.com/" target="_blank">here </a>(<a href="http://dzire2dzine.com/">http://dzire2dzine.com/</a>) you can see some of their other designs. Based out of Howrah in West Bengal, India, they have awesome customer service and were really great to work with. <br />
<br />
They started by giving me a questionnaire to learn more about our business, our style, and our target market. I provided some design ideas from blogs and websites I love as well. They then took all that information and boiled it down into three proofs. Saket was more than happy to modify the proofs as I further refined what I was looking for. I've never made a logo before or worked with a graphic designer, and Dzire to Dzine made the process really easy. I love the final look of the logo- it is fun and creative and captures our spirit!<br />
<br />
Dzire to Dzine also does web design, ad design, video production, and much more. I especially like the <a href="http://dzire2dzine.com/portfolio-web.html#prettyPhoto" target="_blank">web designs</a> they have featured in their portfolio. I highly recommend this company- maybe a website is in the future for us! We'll be printing out out business cards with the new logo this month- so excited!<br />
<br />
<br />
Our old logo (pretty, but did not have much to do with our business or name- we don't sell flowers!)<br />

I LOVE baking! I made these from the "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Whats-New-Cupcake-Ingeniously-Occasion/dp/054724181X" target="_blank">What's New, Cupcake</a>" book by Karen Tack & Alan Richardson. What a great book- so many idea for cupcakes for any party or season. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are vanilla cupcakes with sugar cookies on top that, when put next to eachother, look a lot like a honeycomb. The book said to put some honey inside each hexagon. That would have looked nice, but I thought that would make them too sweet (and too messy- I was bringing them to work!). </div>

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">The most difficult and time intensive part was cutting out the hexagons from the cookie dough. Those were made separate and then placed on top of the cupcakes after lightly frosting them. There was a template to use, but in the end after baking the sugar cookies the lines were not totally straight. Maybe it gives them character :P</span><br />

<br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Instead of using black jelly beans to make the bees (as the book instructed), I used yellow and brown </span>peanut M&Ms. More people like the flavor of chocolate than black licorice, I've found. <br />
<br />
I'm not sure if I'd make these again, but they were well received by the people who ate them. They definitely go with our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/twobeescreations" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a> name, though!</td></tr>

I got the idea from some sellers on Etsy who use old picture frames and replace the backing of the frames with screen or lace to hang earrings on (like these: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/93413341/earring-and-jewelry-holder-framedisplay?ref=sr_gallery_10&ga_search_query=jewelry+holder+frame&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=handmade" style="background-color: #f5f5f1; color: #0192b5; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;" target="_blank">jeanettikonfetti</a> or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/100744049/shabby-chic-jewelry-holder-frame-vintage?ref=sr_gallery_5&ga_search_query=jewelry+holder+frame&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=handmade" style="background-color: #f5f5f1; color: #0192b5; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; white-space: nowrap;" target="_blank">GardenCricket</a>).

They started out looking like this: art pieces that had a price tag of $200 each! I felt a little bad ruining someones artwork, but they were a great deal! I purchased them at the Goodwill for $7 each.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The first one I painted purple with a free sample cup of paint I had. It has cup hooks and eyes from ACE hardware ($4 total) which I screwed right into the backboard. I left the middle panel as it was with the original collage artwork. I'm hanging all my earrings, bracelets, and rings on here. It holds more than 40 pairs of earrings!<br />

My plan was to hang them on the wall next to each other, but my 100-year-old adobe walls make that pretty tough (these things are heavy!). One is on top of my dresser, and the other is on a bookshelf in my hallway. <br />
<br />
It turns out I have a TON of costume jewelry when you add it all up- and now it is neatly displayed instead of all zipped up in pouches or hidden in jewelry boxes. It makes picking out something to wear a lot easier when you can see it all at once!<br />

The <i>travel tea wallet collection</i> is our best seller over at the Two Bees Creations etsy store. But how did it get to be that way, and what is the draw to these items? Well, we first had the idea of making tea wallets for the shop because there are so many people in our lives who drink tea! A few years ago, when I had just first learned about Etsy, I got one for my mother for mother's day. She just loved it, and got many compliments when she pulled out her tea from the bright batik design. A little while after starting the <a href="http://www.twobeescreations.etsy.com/">Two Bees Creations Etsy Shop</a>, Bonnie saw her break out that same tea wallet and said "I could make that! But, I think I could make it even better."<br />
<br />

It sold that same day that we listed it! One customer even asked if we could whip one up for her ASAP as a gift for her friend-the one she had favorited had sold before she got a chance to purchase it. Now, tea wallets are our biggest seller at Two Bees Creations. We are hoping to build up the stock of travel tea wallets so that our customers will have a wide variety of styles and fabrics to choose from. <br />

Each tea wallet is made with loving care by Bonnie Gartz in her home in Buffalo, NY. Many of the wallets are made from upcycled materials. This means that your wallet used to be a much loved shirt or blouse, and after being laundered and specially cared for, it is transformed into a tea wallet. Another great thing about the tea wallets is that each is different. Bonnie uses a mix of vintage and modern buttons and fabrics to give your tea wallet a special look and feel.<br />
<br />
<b>What can the wallet be bought for?</b><br />
A tea wallet makes an awesome gift for Mother's Day, a birthday, a wedding shower gift, or hostess present.<br />
