Espresso Stack Cup is adorable and useful in my kitchen #espressostackcup

Espresso Stack Cup from Le Bleu Bean is a innovative and unique kitchen product that is perfect for any coffee or espresso fanatic. I had never seen anything like this before. This espresso mug is a functional and fun, organizable product. It can be combined and mixed up between the colors to make the ideal personalized set for your kitchen or for a special gift.

This Espresso Stack Cup works the same way as those eternally fun children's L*GO building block toys. Doesn't the top totally look like them? It makes me want to start playing with my Espresso Stack Cups immediately. You can mix 'n match the colors too. Think about how much fun it would be to have this set in your kitchen.

I received a single BLACK Espresso Stack Cup to see how it worked. It is cute as a button and perfect for a tiny cup of strong espresso. Pick up a few and you can have a little afternoon jolt with friends. These adorable stackable espresso cups would be a lovely gift for a wedding shower or a birthday surprise for an espresso lover. They are modern and stylish...perfect for a NYC or Montana kitchen.

These are small cups since they are truly intended for espresso, but they are ideal if you just want a mini cup of coffee or even a small dessert. I often see cute puddings or mini appetizers served in these type of cups. The cups appear to be well constructed and durable. They retain heat well and keep my espresso hot. These come in black and white so you can design your own set. The exterior is constructed of sturdy ABS material which makes them a breeze to clean.

You can pick up this Espresso Stack Cup on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Beauty Box Five April 2015 Bloom Subscription Box Review @beautybox5 #lastingsmiles #dancinggoatskincare #incoco #styleessentials #firstaidbeauty

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received the products for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the products.

I love it....Beauty Box five has the fun beauty ideas for every day of the year.  My little blue box from BB5 helps me manage to keep it all together at work and at home to freshen up my glam no matter what the season.  BB5 shows you how you can squeeze in quality beauty time into even the days you gotta hustle with a few little special products.  Check out all the trendiest of spring fashions now that the and start dreaming...of spring flowers and summer on the way! Consider helping out a friend or someone else in need. Even the little things help. You can donate unused sneakers or eyeglasses for example. Break out of your winter shell and give a little to other but remember yourself too. Don't forget to share your fave finds with friends too. Be generous all around. Take a peek at a few beauty goodies to go along with your pretty fashions and maybe grab a few extra for friends. BB5 makes a great gift any friend would appreciate all year long.  

Everyone loves getting the inside scoop. I like trying new beauty products from sunscreens to lipsticks and find that I often find new faves.  That is one of the great things about BB5.  You can try lots of new things and sub in new favorites without being stuck with a huge bottle of this or that. I happens to the best of us even with green intentions. Sometimes I look at a product in the store but I worry it might not be for me and I don't want to spend all that money if I don't know that I really like it.  Who needs something else to sit on the bathroom shelf or take up more room in a drawer? I would always feel guilty. Every once in a while you get lucky and the store has a sample or perhaps a beauty company sends you a sample and you get to try it first.  That is the premise behind BB5.

The ideal solution for all of us is brought to you by Beauty Box 5. They understand  and created their great sampling box program. Beauty Box 5 is an amazing subscription beauty box sampler that is delivered right to your doorstep (or mailbox) filled with a combination of 5 brand new cosmetic samples monthly, quarterly or annually. You can start out at just $12 a month or save more by getting a longer subscription. Signing up to receive Beauty Box 5 each month is a great new way for anyone from teens to moms to sample new cosmetic products and see what works for you.  Each month they include tips and tricks for the products on the back of this little card below to help you get the most out of your beauty samples each month.

Beauty Box 5 is always on the lookout for the latest new items to make the best matches for your own personal taste and lifestyle.  The prices are reasonable too. You can get a Beauty Box 5 monthly for $12, quarterly for $30 or annually for just $99.  Shipping is always free.  A fun way to check out lots  of the new beauty stuff out there without a whole lot of $$ investment. The great part is that if you like something, you can just up and buy the full size item, right?  Much better than buying a full size you-know-what-beauty-item and paying a fortune and then it sits in the makeup bag gathering dust because it doesn't work for you.

Beauty Box 5 mixes it up with their brands and keeps things adventurous. They source from a mix of niche, luxe, regular drugstore, vegan and eco-conscious brands.  One month you might get hair care, nail care, makeup, skin care, fragrances or even beauty accessories or a mix of any of the above.  I love the suspense!  You will get a carefully curated blend of travel, full-size and deluxe samples from their most current collection.

  

I just received the April Bloom Box this week.  The April theme is Bloom and blossom it is! Flourish all month long with little extras for yourself and others. Take a peek this month with your 5 new favorites in your box- and beyond!  The team at Beauty Box 5 wants to remember you are unique and special. We all deserve to take a little bit of time to beautify and keep our look fresh even as we work hard all week long. Beauty Box five is here with a ton of special treats to help you along the way.  In April, don't forget to let the new possibilities Bloom.  Here is the scoop on the amazing treats that were in this sweet sea blue April box:

As always it was chock full of amazing goodies that I could not wait to try. There were goodies for my hands, face and body tucked in there this month.  Lots of special items to keep me looking fresh and alluring wherever my spring blooming days take me.  Who knows where I will go this spring and summer. We will have to see. I am one busy mama and that never changes!

The first item in this box is a sample of Dancing Goat Hula Bliss Body Lotion. I love these mini sizes to take with me on my business trips. It is a sweet treat for my hands and skin with goat's milk, rosemary lavender, eucalyptus and coconut oil. It has a wonderful scent and feels great on my skin.  The natural formula is not greasy and absorbs quickly. I love the way my skin feels and it truly looks so much more hydrated.  Retail: $17.99 for 8 fl oz. 

The next product in the box is perfect for cleansing on the go...another great travel size to try out. This PH balanced cleanser caught my eye right away. A few things I really like....paraben free, safe for sensitive skin and it feels great when I wash my skin with it.  First Aid Beauty Facial Cleanser is a fresh way to clean your skin without irritating it. This is going to be a great option for the summer after a day at the beach. A good value at $20.00 for 5 oz.

This is such a fun concept...a twin gloss with two colors in one. Of course my tween was trying to grab this one for herself right away. This Style Essentials TwinGloss in Cherry Blossom is going to keep your lips shiny and fresh all day long. The shade is light and pretty...just enough to add a touch of bright color. These fun lip glosses are priced reasonably too so of course we are going to pick up a several colors to match different spring and summer outfits.  I love this bright, cheery color and the shine is just perfect.  At this price I can collect a few more. 2.50 for 0.03 fl oz 

I love my lip balm plus I love when I can help others. Sometimes I really go above and beyond like baking for cancer patients for example or making a donation. Here is a way to help others by just buying a lip balm. Lasting Smiles Passionfruit Organic Lip Balm helps you nourish your lips while you help transform children so they can have pretty smiles too. You can find out more on the Lasting Smiles website LastingSmilesCare.com  They use healthy, organic ingredients and support funding for cleft surgeries globally.  What a wonderful concept and a great product too. Consider donating or making a purchase. A nice product at $4.99 for 0.15 oz

The next item in this exciting April box for a little surprise is a Incoco Nail Polish Applique Set. This girl loves her pretty manis and pedis so I was excited to check this one out.  They are easy to use and there are lots of styles to choose from so go basic or a little wild for the weekend. No dry time so do it in a flash.  A nice option for manis or pedis at $8.99.

So, are you ready to get in on the fun? The ladies from BB5 have put together another really amazing box full of beauty fun perfect to take you straight into spring and even summer. Don't forget to join Beauty Box 5 and get in on the goodies to keep you looking fab all four season.

PopSockets phone grip and stand #PopSockets

I just got this cool new phone accessory that is really fun and useful at the same time. A PopSocket is an accessory that easily attaches to most mobile devices like iPhones. They have pretty and funky designs too. The PopSockets expands and collapses fast with an accordion mechanism. You can do it with one finger. Attach PopSockets to almost any phone to use it as a phone grip, a phone stand for Facetime or to manage those unwieldy headset cords. PopSockets just "pop" right out whenever you need need them for a task or you can just play with them to pass the time.

They come in single packs or two packs. Either way they come with this special totally removable and reusable PopTek adhesive pad. It attaches in a snap to most phones, phablets, tablets, and many cases. It has this thin layer of reusable, residue-free, adhesive gel. You can even reposition it if you like and it leaves no marks or residue.

It was easy to attach to my iPhone 5s and works great for me. It makes it easier to talk with the microphone and to Facetime with my family when I am away. When it is popped in, it takes up no space on the phone at all. It pops out with barely a finger. 

You can pick up PopSockets phone grips online for easy shopping anytime.
