Eucalyptus Sheet Set From The Towel Factory

When you visit the hotel while on vacation you may be tempted to steal towels, robes and even bedsheets. People will do anything to get their hands-on quality sheets, robes, and towel. In fact, one woman is facing up to three months in jail for stealing two towels from her hotel room according to ABC News. It has become such an epidemic that someone finally got with the program and invented a tiny M and M size tracking device that thousands of hotels have started using to embed in their linens. A resort in Honolulu has reported the reduction in pull towel theft by 3,250 towels a month since they implemented the system per listverse.com. But you can still kick hotel quality in luxury feel of these products without risking jail time from JR United. I was sent Eucalyptus Sheet Set with a satin gray piping and size King which retails for $170 with free shipping on all orders and includes one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, and two standard pillowcases. 

The JR Unites sheets luxe, woven from rich revolutionary eucalyptus plant fibers, which is a time in the intensive process. The eucalyptus sheet is sewn with a sateen weave which makes a product of old world artisan tailoring and cutting-edge technology. With a pleasantly soft hand, the sheets have a natural luster and silky finish, these luxurious sheets provide an exceptional sleep experience unlike any other. Sleeping on sheets made from eucalyptus absorbs moisture 50% better than cotton so it makes it dry and comfortable to sleep at night.  These are manufactured at JR United in Guatemala.

My Opinion: I really like a nice sheet set and helps me sleep at night and relax and although white is not my favorite color sheet I understand hotels have to have white but I found these to be very comfortable and I do sweat at night when I’m sleeping and I did not wake up soaking wet. These will be perfect for summer weather when it’s very warm outside and it’s humid here along with eucalyptus itself is goods for asthmatics so that’s a plus.

Chef'd

The first and only meal store is called Chef’d and it gets delivered right to your door and you choose from famous recipes and there are hundreds that are curated all by your favorite chefs and you cook them in the comfort of your own home. The high-quality ingredients are shipped fresh and pre-portioned in an insulated temperature controlled box and even if you can’t make a gourmet meal you can cook like a pro any night of the week with this and this is not a subscription you just order what you like when you like. 

I was sent some items to review from Chef’d and when I picked out was Baked Fish and Chips with Tartar Sauce (Dinner for 2 is $29 and Dinner for 4 is $46) crispy, crunchy, salty, vinegary are the best kind of fish and chips. This one is baked in the oven and uses cornflakes as the coating and just a few other ingredients along with being ready in under an hour. 

For breakfast Quaker Overnight Oats with Blueberry and honey (this retails for $10 and is for two people) nothing is worse than leaving the house on an empty stomach. Fill your belly in your soul with delicious overnight oats that are packed with blueberries, honey, and delicious Greek yogurt. 

You can assemble this simple breakfast before you go to bed and wake up to enjoy a cooling creamy yet hearty delicious old breakfast. Grilled New York Steak & Jumbo Pancetta Shrimp(Dinner for 2 is $49 and Dinner for 4 is $69) now this one is cooked on the grill and it’s a great twist on surf and turf featuring juicy steak, succulent pancetta wrapped shrimp and a tasty jam made with bacon. With tender smashed potatoes and grilled lemon broccolini.

My Opinion: I really enjoyed everything that came from Chef’d it was all fresh prepackaged in all’s I had to do was put them in the recipes when I was ready to make them it was so easy and although I’m not a gourmet chef following these recipes made me feel like a gourmet chef. The basaltic vinaigrette didn’t travel very well and was exploded by the time it arrived at me but everything else was perfect.

Strongbow Apple Ciders

Strongbow from the orchard to the glass, we are inspired by the power of nature to deliver the golden, crisp refreshment in every drop of Strongbow Hard Apple Cider. And like our namesake, Richard "Strongbow" de Clare, who was legendary for his skill with the bow and arrow, we're setting our sights and making our mark. Our cider's crisp, refreshing taste sets the tone for the rest of the night. We're the go-getters. The makers and doers. To us, every hour is golden.

Strongbow is hard cider that comes in four varieties:

Golden Apple which is sweet and golden with a crisp kick, a hint of green apple and a long, bittersweet finish. It tastes good paired with salt & vinegar chips, crackers, lightly salted pistachios, almonds, cashews, sushi, sashimi, maki, oysters, hot dog with a strong mustard, any fruit dessert or crapes and more. 

Cherry Blossom has the aroma of cherry blossoms and fruity notes, a subtle sweetness, and a ripe apple finish. It tastes good paired with grilled fish, soufflés, cheesecake with fruit, roasted nuts and seeds, spicy chips and crisps, mocha ice cream and more.  

Honey a rich gold color with an aromatic array of honey on the nose and sweet on the tongue with a refreshing fruity finish. It tastes good paired with puff pastry with goat cheese, goat or blue cheese on toast, pear tart with almonds and honey, honey based pastries, glazed pork, meatballs and more.

Ginger has the right hint of ginger, floral aroma and light muscato notes with an apple finish. It tastes good paired with mild goat cheese, spicy cured meats, sweet and spicy Thai cuisine, pumpkin pie spice cake and more.

My Opinion: They taste good and I like the apple flavor but my favorite is the Honey and Ginger. I have never had a hard cider before so this was a nice treat as I do not drink very often.

Tales of Sasha The Big Secret (Book 1) By Alexa Pearl, illustrated by Paco Sordo

Tales of Sasha The Big Secret (Book 1) By Alexa Pearl, illustrated by Paco Sordo from Little Bee Books. For ages 6-8 years old. Readers meet Sasha, a kindhearted young horse who has always felt a little bit different from the other horses in Verdant Valley. For starters, she looks nothing like her two older sisters, Zara and Poppy, who are black and brown while Sasha is pale gray except for a small white patch on her back. Sasha also loves running and jumping and the feeling of being in the air, and she longs to explore the forest beyond her valley.

One day during school, Sasha is having trouble concentrating, and the white patch on her back gives her an itching feeling that makes her want to soar. She tries to ignore it but finds that she can’t and ends up running and leaping over the big rock she and her classmates were approaching. When she lands on the other side, she realizes that her patch is sparkling! She heads to find her parents, and when she tells them about what happened they decide it’s time to tell Sasha their big secret: during a storm years, ago they found Sasha as a baby foal wrapped in a golden blanket with a note that said “Please keep Sasha safe until we can see her again.”

My Opinion: I like that this is a great story for kids and lets them know being different is not a big deal and you should be proud of who you are as all kids are special. I found it easy to read and with great illustrations for kids to follow. I plan on sharing this book with my nieces.

Wellness WellBites are a great treat for all life stages from puppies to adults, along with the food not containing corn, soy, artificial colors or additives. These are made from two kinds of meat protein for an irresistible flavor and taste also naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols.
