Amopé Pedi Perfect™ Wet and Dry Foot File gets my feet supersoft @crowdtap #pediperfect

Disclosure: I received this item complimentary via Crowdtap.


I workout frequently, about 5-6 days days a week so my feet take a beating. I have used a lot of different tools over the years to keep my feet pretty but this one is really a superstar. I really like a lot of the features of the  Amopé Pedi Perfect™ Wet and Dry Foot File so it is hard to choose a favorite. Let me tell you about all of them and you can decide for yourself.  It has two speeds so it lets you control the level of filing better than the standard battery powered unit I used previously. I love the fact that the Amope can be used wet or dry too. The rechargeable aspect of the Amope Pedi Perfect foot file is also wonderful. No worries about the batteries having to be replaced. It is a great foot care tool all around that works quickly to get my feet pretty.


Every once in a while I will go out and get a professional pedicure but the reality is that I don't have time to do it on a regular basis. The Amopé Pedi Perfect™ Wet and Dry Foot File makes it easy to do pedicures at home. I like the two speeds, it lets me control the level of filing just like at the salon except I am not paying those prices or waiting for the technician. I love the fact that it can be used wet or dry too so I can do it regularly and squeeze it into my routine each week. I can use it while I am in the shower or bath. That is innovative. The rechargeable aspect of the Amope foot file is also wonderful. No worries about the batteries having to be replaced is a huge benefit for me. I am such a busy mom and one less thing to have to keep stocked up is a dream.  The Amopé Pedi Perfect™ Wet and Dry Foot File is a great foot care tool for anyone that wants to keep their feet in beautiful shape at home. You can even pick it up on Amazon for the ultimate in super easy time saving shopping.

Kara Tippetts' And It Was Beautiful: Celebrating Life in the Midst of the Long Good-Bye


Kara used to shrug herself off as ordinary but I know she sure wasn't at all.  She was one special mom who just did her very best to live every day to the fullest. She had quite a weight on her in her last years too. This was with the concrete knowledge that the sand was running out of the hourglass for her. Kara late stage  cancer but didn't let it rule her world while she lived. And live she did. Her world was according to G-d. She was blessed with a beautiful family and wonderful friends who supported her on her journey.  She shared herself openly in this book which truly touched my heart.  As you read, you only hope that you might have some of her grace and peace.  This is one book that you must read, I will be honest, with a box of tissues....but you must know her story and share it with others. She had wisdom that will make you think and hopefully you might take some actions to live your life more fully. I think if every reader took a tiny step back and considered some of the tidbits Kara shared, she would be so joyous if she knew that her story has touched and help others. You can learn more about Kara via her blog MundaneFaithfullness, and follow her on Instagram and Twitter as well. Her blog continues on through her husband Jason and her friends.


Kara Tippetts continued to walk in grace and faith even during her hardest days when life turned out differently than how she dreamed. In And It Was Beautiful: Celebrating LIfe in the Midst of the Long Good-Bye really shares her deepest thoughts and insights. The editors did a lovely job of taking bits and pieces from her blog and bringing it together in a book. You get to see the grace of the everyday that Kara always seemed to have no matter what life what serving her that day. It shows that she truly strived to live well even when the living was truly hard. You always get that sense of peace and grace because she knew no matter what that the Lord was right there with her. Through the editors, you see how Kara explores the hardest questions of life with rare beauty and honesty. Always, she draws you back to the G-d who is always present.

I liked how this book was organized into short chapters that really captured Kara's voice. I used to read her blog pretty faithfully and she had a unique voice that was recognizable anywhere. She was some kind of woman and mother. And It Was Beautiful offers so many practical reflections on life, family and dying well with the strength of G-d. Kara always lives with family and faith and that shines through. She always finds a way to find the beauty in everything no matter how hard it could be.

Evino shatterproof elegant wine & cocktail glasses make every party fun and worry free #Evinowineglasses



I really enjoy entertaining in my home. We have a beautiful deck and we keep our yard perfectly manicured with shrubs and flowers. It is fun to share it with friends but no one wants to deal with problems. There is an easier and infinitely more fun way to prevent unnecessary drama at your next party or home event. The solution is simple with these elegant, shatterproof glasses from Evino. 


Evino shared that these beautiful glasses are virtually indestructible. It is hard to believe looking at them but the novel crystal-clear un-breakable glasses leave me free to enjoy guests without the worries. These pretty glasses move smoothly from the dining table to the pool or even to the camp ground. 
I don't have to worry now because I know I can entertain with style and my flair because I have my crystal clear glasses that provide the brilliance of a fine glass but with the secret of plastic. I don't have to be practical to get the clarity and style I love. I can't believe how many compliments I received this past weekend when I had friends over for wine and cheese.  These pretty Evino glasses are perfect for red or white wine, cocktails or any other mixed drink.
I feel great about using these Evino glasses in my home and I rest easy. These would be great for cocktail parties, picnics, bars, friendly tennis games, beach dates, camping, family dinners or even Christmas gifts. These glasses are food safe and BPA-free. They are recyclable and totally reusable. I love the clear and elegant look and they come in a set of four 16oz glasses. The Evino glasses are constructed of PET. You might not know but PET is a hard material that retains it's shape. This is unlike the commonly used Tritan which is flexible and lose it's shape quickly. The PET gives these the look and feel of luxury quality glasses without the worry. These PET-constructed glasses are also durable enough to be washed in the top rack of your dishwasher on a setting up to 40C. I love that these pretty Evinoglasses are dishwasher safe and BPA-free.

These glasses mimic the finish and style of expensive crystal glasses. They have completely smooth rims just like real wine glasses in every way. Think about it. Standard plastic wine glasses have those uncomfortable bumpy edges. Evino rims feel like a real glass. These 16 oz glasses are perfectly designed to be versatile for any drink. All I can think about is how relaxed I am going to be all summer long while I enjoy wine, cocktails, lemonade, juice, or even dessert with friends and guests and no worrying. It is easy to be creative with fun drinks even with tots around (no alcohol for the kids though!)...no worrying. These drama free wine glasses are lightweight and comfortable. You can find these handy and elegant Evino wine glasses on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.
