November 9, 2017 By Marijean

Looking for stylish yet comfortable clothes? You must check out clothing by Agnes & Dora. Lauren Maxwell is an Independent Rep for the company, and has sent me many beautiful pieces of clothing I want to show you and tell you all about.

About Agnes & Dora:

It has been said that “confidence is the best outfit”. What we wear is a reflection of our personal beliefs and we wear it like a coat of arms. Throughout history, a coat of arms have been worn by a tribe or group of people to intentionally deliver a message. It was worn as a symbol of their identity. Wearing a coat of arms makes a declaration about who we are and what we show the world. We must claim our power and have a conviction of our worth and value within ourselves. Not only are we enough, we are also beautiful, confident, strong, kind, intelligent and more. The world reflects our beliefs back to us according to our own personal coat of arms.

My intention in building Agnes & Dora has been to encourage others to create a better life for themselves. I want to change the way the world sees us by changing the way we see ourselves.

Our Agnes and Dora coat of arms is defined by our mission statement, guiding principles, and vision statement.

Agnes & Dora offers Leggings for women and children, Skirts, Tops, Beautiful Dresses and also Layer pieces at affordable prices. Below are the items I was able to review.

Snuggle-Pedic® Ultra-Luxury Bamboo Memory Foam Pillow Review

November 5, 2017 By Marijean

Are you in the market for a new pillow? Check out the #1 rated pillow on Amazon called Snuggle-Pedic®.

About Snuggle-Pedic® Ultra Luxury Bamboo Memory Foam Pillow:

While Down pillows are comfortable and conforming, they constantly need to be fluffed and do not hold their shape throughout the night. They are also a problem for those that suffer from feather allergies. Good quality shredded memory foam solves this problem through its ability to conform, but can make too heavy of a pillow for some users. Only the Snuggle-Pedic uses a proprietary mix of our very special hypo-allergenic and extremely low V.O.C. Biogreen ® memory foam, in addition to using CertiPUR-US® certified foam. This proprietary mix of foams come directly from our very high-end, all U.S.A. produced mattresses made right in our Westlake Village, CA factory. The very small pieces are extremely soft and fluffy and make our pillow lighter and more resilient than the usual shredded memory foam pillows found on the market.

Kool-Flow™ Soft and Luxurious, Extra Breathable Micro-Vented Cover Made In The U.S.A. with 43% Visose of Bamboo, 56.4 percent Polyester, .6 Percent Lycra keeps you cool all night long!
Shredded Style Combination Memory Foam Pillow That never goes flat! Fully Machine Washable
Made in USA Certified Bed Manufacturer Using Eco-Friendly Biogreen® , in addition to using CertiPUR-US® certified foam
Conforming Shape Orthopedically Supports the Neck For Side, Stomach, & Back Sleepers Hypoallergenic & Dust Mite Resistant. Rolled & Vacuum Sealed For Eco-Friendly Shipping
90-Day, No Hassle refund guarantee & free customizations. Industry leading 20-Year Warranty

This pillow is available in sizes Standard, Queen and King. They even have a kids size pillow. Price depends on pillow you choose. The queen is a really nice size and perfect for my bed. The pillow is super soft and cool to touch and I was super excited to try it out in place of my down pillow.

The fabric and foam of this pillow is made in the United States. It is also fully machine washable which is a big plus. When I received this in the mail I took the cover off and washed it immediately so I could use it that night. I toss and turn a lot at night because I tend to get very hot and like an ice cold room. My head tends to sweat a lot on the traditional down pillow I own. I was very excited to try out this pillow because it is nice and cool to the touch.

I seriously had the best night sleep with this pillow! It kept my head cool all night, and I did not wake up sweaty like I usually do each morning. My neck also didn’t hurt and the pillow didn’t loose fluff at all. I usually sleep with 2 down pillows because they end up getting flat. I am so excited to just use this one pillow from now on. It also comes with a 90 day money back guarantee and an amazing 20 year warranty!!

If you are prone to sweating at night, and end up having a sore neck from your current pillow, I urge you to try Snuggle-Pedic! You won’t be sorry!

This pillow would make a great holiday gift!

Grow your own Avocado Tree at home with AvoSeedo!

November 1, 2017 By Marijean

Do you love Avocado? How about delicious homemade guacamole? I honestly cannot get enough of Avocado. I eat it on my sandwiches, love it on burgers and of course I love making fresh guacamole to enjoy. I was contacted by a company called AvoSeedo to review their product to grow my very own avocado tree!

About AvoSeedo:

AvoSeedo is a small plastic bowl that features an indentation with a hole in it. A single avocado seed can be inserted with the “flat” end facing down. Afterwards, AvoSeedo can be placed in a sufficiently large, water-filled pot. Due to its low weight and high displacement, AvoSeedo will remain at the surface all the time; as the water level lowers, AvoSeedo will sink accordingly.

With AvoSeedo, you can significantly raise the success rate when it comes to avocado germination. Without any risk, you can decrease the watering intervals drastically. Only from time to time you will have to check the water level of the pot containing AvoSeedo plus avocado seed. Compared to the original toothpick method, there’s another advantage: the avocado seed doesn’t need to be perforated, reducing the risk of damage (and thus, failed germination efforts).

And finally, AvoSeedo features a mounting that can be used to attach small flags. These can be inscribed with the date when germination started, with strain names or with additional information. Thus, you can easily keep track, even when germinating several avocado seeds at the same time.

The AvoSeedo website offers great information on Avocados and on how to grow your own Avocado tree. They offer many products to choose from. I was able to review the AvoSeedo in the transparent color. They offer transparent, green, blue and pink. Directions are simple, all you need is an avocado pit. The website offers great instructional videos too.

Here is how it works:

1. Get an avocado, cut it open and remove the pit
2. Peel away the thin skin from the avocado pit
3. Put the pit flat part down into the AvoSeedo tray
4. Place the AvoSeedo tray with avocado pit into a bowl of water
5. Change the water every two to three weeks
6.The seed will sprout and a tiny avocado tree will grow after one to three months
7. Transfer the budding tree into a pot
8. Reuse the AvoSeedo to grow more avocados

My pit has already started the process of roots and I am excited to continue to watch it become an avocado tree. My kids really enjoyed the whole process, it was a great educational experience for them. It will increase kids’ understanding of ecology, interconnections in nature, responsibility and care for the environment in a participatory and concrete way. Great for all ages!

This would make a great holiday gift for any avocado lover you may know. The AvoSeedo is on sale for $12.99.

Save 20% on any AvoSeedo avocado grower or other product and enjoy FREE shipping too. Visit the AvoSeedo Shop today and get growing today!
