*I participated in a campaign on behalf of Coffee Mate. I received a promotional item to facilitate this review and as a thank you item for participating. All opinions are my own. When I was growing up in my Grandmother's house as a young girl, having visitors during the middle of the day was always a big production. From the moment that the doorbell rang, we would all hurry to welcome our guests and to help Tata (Grandma) prepare the coffee and pull out all of the pastries, cookies and cakes that we kept in the house for just these visits. I was always in awe as to how much coffee and dessert could be arranged in such a short time. One of my fondest memories is the smell of coffee permeating the house and mixing with the perfumes of our female visitors. Oh, how I wanted to grow up and be beautiful and gracious like these wonderful women whom I was surrounded by. Now that I have my own family, it is important to me to maintain those wonderful … [Read more...]

*This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Café La Llave. All opinions are 100% mine. I can still remember the rich aroma of coffee waking me from my slumber as a young girl in Spain.

Brugo Mug by Jolex Review and Giveaway
This is the perfect time of the year to travel to work with a mug filled with either hot coffee or hot chocolate to warm up a cold body in the morning. It just so happens that, in our home, my husband is the big coffee drinker and I am the hot chocolate drinker. I'm not sure if there is an exact science to drinking hot fluids because my husband never seems to burn his tongue or his palate whereas I always seem to burn some part of my mouth. That is exactly why I was so eager to review the Brugo Mug by Jolex. I was immediately intrigued by the fact that the Brugo Mug boasts that it is the only travel mug in the world that allows you to drink hot tea or coffee immediately. Obviously, this was music to my ears considering that I have been scalded repeatedly in the past by way too hot drinks and my eagerness to drink them before making sure that they were cool enough to drink. Those of you have been burned by hot drinks know exactly what I am talking about. … [Read more...]
