I've always hated the price of the Nespresso pods and the fact I've had to buy ONLY Nespresso pods if I wanted to use that machine. It was becoming too expensive after awhile & I was starting to not really use it. So when I got the chance to try out 6 different flavors of Nespresso COMPATIBLE pods, I jumped at it.

With these 6 boxes you get 60 pods total (10 pods per box). The roasts go from light to dark which is nice because there are times when you want a nice robust dark roast & times when you want a plain 'ol light roast. The flavors also vary from sweet to nutty to fruity to chocolate. When you're brewing up one of these you can smell it and it smells amazing. These don't froth up AS much as the Nespresso pods usually do, but they give just enough to make it "perfect". Out of all them, I would have to say that my favorite is Maestro. Hazelnut is my favorite for a lot of things and I really enjoyed it in this.

I've never had a hammock before so I didn't know too much about what was really needed for actually hanging it up. I initially thought you just basically used parachute chords or something and you were good to go. So when I was offered these heavy duty hammock tree straps for my brand new hammock, I figured why not.

These straps are pretty long so you can stretch out your hammock between wide trees if the only trees in your yard are far apart. Or you have trees that are moderately closer together, you can wrap the strap around the tree several times to make sure it's even sturdier. You can even use these on your porch and wrap them around the posts/poles there, which is what I did when I initially got them and tested out at my grandmothers. Now that I'm home I haven't gotten the chance to put everything on MY porch because it hasn't stopped raining and/or hailing since I got home.

These straps come in a nifty carrying bag so you don't lose them.. Which is also super nice because the S hooks slip out of the straps very easily. So without the carrying bag you could easily lose the S hooks and that would really suck.

When I saw that this dog shampoo was water-less & was a foam mousse, I was very curious & also very excited to try it out. I've got 4 dogs and none of them like getting a bath. BUT, out of those 4 dogs there is 1 that is basically allergic to himself, and also many dog shampoos. He has super sensitive skin and I actually have to keep him shaved down all year round because even his own fur bothers him.

There's MANY different dog shampoos out there that claim to be "soothing" for sensitive dogs, but the majority still bother him and they also bother me. Many of them have some sort of funky smell to them and I'm very sensitive to smells (very severe allergies to so many things, including perfumes). They also seem to think "soothing" automatically means "lavender" and I'm highly allergic to lavender.. But when it comes to trying to make my dog more comfortable, I'll do anything.. Even if it means having to wear rubber gloves and a mask to try to bathe my dog. But despite all the dog shampoos that claim to be soothing and say they'll help, after just a couple days he's right back to scratching himself raw in various spots again. I then have to put ointment on him and then put the cone of shame on him again which makes me sad.

Now THIS shampoo. It smells AMAZING and does not bother my allergies at all which I really REALLY love. This shampoo also says it's safe for sensitive skin, which in my experience with shampoos, I was a bit hesitant to believe. Unlike usual "bath time", I was able to trick my dog into getting a "bath" this time. I just sat on the floor, had the bottle by my side and grabbed one of his favorite toys & he came running right over to me. I squirted some foam all down his back & started rubbing it in and he seemed to really enjoy it and didn't even notice that he was getting a "bath". For his legs I squirted the foam in my hands and then rubbed them down that way. When I was done he was just a little damp but with how energetic he is, I wasn't too worried because he'd just air dry himself.

After a couple days, he wasn't trying to scratch himself raw which I was really surprised. Also after a couple days he still smelled super amazing. I've never had a dog shampoo that still left my dog smelling super amazing after a few days (which I was actually grateful of). Even after a week I could still smell the shampoo on him. I can definitely see me buying more of this when I run out and using this on him ONLY and making my other 3 dogs suffer through a regular bath. I'll have a video up of me giving him a "bath" soon.
