Tassimo Coffee Brewer Review and GIVEAWAY!!

Giveaway is now Closed...
I was blessed with the awesome opportunity by the great
people at Bosch to test out one of their
Tassimo T20 Single-Server Brewer.

This brewer is unique because you don't have to know
anything about coffees and how to make them!
The machine does ALL THE WORK!!

You use what they call T Disks, insert them
into the machine and the machine reads
the bar code on the disk and makes exactly what you want!

It can make over 40 varieties of hot and cold drinks including
coffees, lattes, cappuccinos, hot chocolates,
espressos, teas, and crema coffees.

All you ever have to do is fill the water holder, insert the disk,
and push 1 button! It was so EASY!
Oh and I should mention - ZERO CLEANUP!!

The only down side I see is that the T Disks are not
exactly cheap, but that also depends on what you
compare it to. You can see in the picture that
The Tassimo Machine makes Starbucks!

You can even get inserts to change up the color of your
machine!! They sent me a cool red insert!

So how would you like to win one of these
fabulous Tassimo T20 machines?!?!?!?

Rubbermaid Reveal Mop Review and Giveaway

I don't have an actual mop. My mop involves my
daughter to take a bucket of water and get
down on her hands and knees and scrub away.
I know, how mean am I!?!?!?

I've owned mops before, but thought they were
worthless and messy plus before this house I
didn't have much hard surface.

Well we were BOTH overjoyed when Rubbermaid
contacted me and wanted me to review their brand
new Rubbermaid Reveal Spray Mop!!

(picture not me! It's from their site)

We love it! I'm sold!! If it broke, I'd go buy another one!
Things I like...
1. REUSABLE PADS! Just throw them in the washer
and they last around 100 washes each!

2. You can use whatever kind of cleaner in the bottle.
Just pull the knob and it sprays out in front of you.

3. Works on all type of floors.

4. The pads just velcro on to the bottom and stick hard.

5.. Nothing more to buy...
Just keep refilling the cleaner bottle and washing the pads!

What took my daughter about 10-15 minutes
took me about 3 with the mop!

This picture is the bottom of the mop
and how the pads velcro on!

(Sorry it's hard to see)

Would you like to win a mop kit?!!?!
Rubbermaid is generously giving away 1 mop kit
to 1 of my wonderful readers!!

Rubbermaid 6 Pc. Drawer Organizer Review and Giveaway

I was so excited when Rubbermaid offered
to send me their brand new
6 pc. interlocking drawer organizer.
Of course I jumped at the chance.

My junk drawer was a little out of control...

((See I told you!!!))

This 6 pc. organizer kit has just been released and let
me tell you, I Love it! When it came, I took about 20 minutes
and turned my junk drawer into this...

WOW!
What a difference it makes to open it and be able
to immediately find anything I need.
It just makes me feel better to be organized!

I also love that each piece can be hooked together
and it has no slip feet so everything stays in place when
I open and shut the drawer.
Perfect!

I highly recommend their interlocking drawer organizer
to ANYONE who has an out of control drawer.

I've discovered that I could use about 6 more sets...
But that's a problem for another day, so for now
I'll just stare at my nicely organized junk drawer!

Skin MD Natural Review and Giveaway

Skin MD is a company that specializes in
Natural Skin Care. They have a moisturizer that is
classified as a "shielding lotion"
You can use this lotion on any part of you.
It didn't work well on my face but I sure
did like it on my feet!

With a "shielding lotion" irritants are kept out and
moisture in. (from their website)

Skin MD was very generous and sent me a full
size bottle to try out! I was very impressed with the
way it didn't feel greasy at all. I also thought it left my body
very soft feeling.

I don't have really dry areas so I can't speak
for that but their website has many user reviews here. There are
some amazing before and after testimonies. If you have
some really dry areas, it might be worth a try!!

You can order here or check here
to find a store near you.

Wholesale Keychain Review and Giveaway

I was offered the opportunity by Wholesale Keychain
to review their Keychains. I was allowed to choose 3!

So I visited their site thinking this would be easy. I'd just
pick 3 simple keychains. I mean how many different choices
could there be. And I'm sure they're just regular keychains that
just say something... Right???
WRONG!!!

I was totally amazed at the selection and uniqueness they had.
And to boot, the prices were unbelievable for any keychain, let alone
for how unique and functionable they were!
Here's what I chose...

Yep, These are keychains and they actually have FUNCTION!!!
I was totally thrilled when I received them!!

First I loved their
Digital Photo Keychains
You can actually save up to 72 photos on this keychain.
I love being able to have pictures with me where ever I go!
It's really simple to use. Comes with the USB cable
to put on the pictures and it has a rechargeable battery built in
that you can just charge with your computer.
This keychain is only $14.99

((if you use promo code dailyessenti
you will also get 10% off! ends Nov 30))

Next I spotted the
USB Flash Drive Keychain
It is a 1 GB Flash Drive! That's a pretty big memory.
I downloaded a bunch of pictures and I
believe I used 3% of its space!

I'd be perfect if you need to take files back
and forth from work.
You won't lose it... unless you lose
your keys of course!!!
It's only $9.99

Last I searched around...
They have so many choices like Disney Keychains, Bottle Openers, Game Keychains, Knife Keychains, and so many more!

But I decided to go with the Astros Keychain for Hubby!
He loves the Astros (even when they stink)
It was great quality and he snatched it up very quickly when it came!

Make sure you check out all their keychains here!
They would make such great Christmas Gifts for
those on your list that are hard to buy for.

And if you make any order don't forget to
use promo code
dailyessenti
for an additional 10% off!!!
(code ends Nov. 30)

Keurig Brewing System Review and Giveaway

It was like Christmas when all of this showed up on my door step!
The Great People of Keurig sent
me my very own Platinum Brewing System to try out!
And They're giving
one away to one of you too!!
Thanks Keurig!

As I'm sure you can guess.... I LOVE IT!!!!
My hubby and I are NOT big coffee drinkers but guess what...
It makes Hot Chocolate and FAST 25 seconds to be exact
(Yes I timed it).
From the moment I put the cup on the platform until it's done is 25 seconds.
I bought a "cheap" hot chocolate maker last year. It was such a mess and I had to totally clean the machine after each use. To boot it didn't even make it through one winter before it broke. It doesn't even start to compare to this Awesome Machine!!!
***
My Mom and the rest of my extended family are all coffee drinkers.
So I invited them over for a little taste test party!
It passed with flying colors. Everyone of them said that this
was REALLY GOOD COFFEE!
***
What I love is How Easy it is and How FAST it is to make
Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate.
There's no clean up and it's always ready to make a cup.
Yes I said NO CLEAN UP!!!
You just keep adding water to the 6-10 cup holding tank and it's always ready!
***
The Platinum Brewer came with a sample box of K-Cups and then
they also sent me 4 more boxes of 24 K-Cups each.
K-Cups are the little cups that hold the coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
It has the coffee already measured out in the K-Cup.
You simply put it in the machine and push 2 buttons and it's done!
The K-Cups can be bought online but also at many retailers including Walmart, Target, Sears, and many more.
***
The machine is very easy to learn too.
I figured everything out with in 20 minutes and fully knew how to use every aspect of the machine.
You can check out all the specs and features here at their site.
****
So are you ready to win one???

Keurig is giving away
1 Platinum Brewing System
and 4 packs of K-Cups (your choice of kinds)
to one lucky winner!
(USA entries only)
