Hand-crafted wood timepieces. Raw material, refined design JORD is run by artists, designers, marketers, and minders. We spend our days creating, considering, arguing, and hopefully agreeing. Then we’ll scrap it all for the joy of starting new. We have fun. This is our journey. We are focused on creating timepieces that are modeled after a modern lifestyle. We value sustainability, efficiency, and experiential living. We make our watches for people who don’t just have somewhere to be, they have somewhere to go. The value of a watch is not in being able to tell how much time has passed, but in being aware of the need to make that time count. Moments are bigger than minutes and your watch should tell more than time.

JORD Watches are beautiful, well-designed pieces that you will treasure for years to come! They offer styles for both men and women and there are many designs to choose from. In addition, they offer personalized engraving so that you express your love and appreciation to those that you love this holiday season!

Nutrisystem Update: 10 Pounds Down: Halfway There! #NSNation #ad

Disclosure: I have been selected to be a part of the Nutrisystem Nation Blogger Program for the next 3 months in return for my honest opinion and review. All opinions are 100% mine.

It has been so busy around here lately that I forgot to give a Nutrisystem update last week! I am so happy to report that I am halfway to my goal of 20 pounds. I have officially lost 10 pounds! I am really feeling fantastic and have also lost a lot of inches! I even had to go down a pant size! Woohoo!

It is so hard for me to believe how quickly the days are flying by! Thanksgiving is next week! I am still thoroughly enjoying the program and feeling fantastic! One of the most important things that I am still learning…..not to compare myself with others. Everyone loses weight differently and changes come in all shapes and sizes. I am my own worst critic when it comes to my body and how I feel about myself. But, this program makes me feel good about myself and how I am feeling these days! 

I wanted to share with you some of my favorite Nutri-moments so far in my journey. For me, I love it when I am out to eat and look at the menu and make good choices! I try to eat items that are healthy and that compare with the Nutrisystem program. Just knowing that I am making a good and healthy choice makes me feel like a million bucks! Even the small moments like making the choice to exercise when I don’t feel like it count in this journey. In fact, I feel like those small moments are really the biggest moments in my journey!

My husband has been such a rock of support to me in this journey and is always encouraging. He is constantly telling me how beautiful that I look and how proud he is of me. This is the fuel that I need to continue on with my journey! We all need those people in our lives who are our “anchors” I am so grateful!

Stay tuned, I will be sharing my photo with you of my progress so far in my journey!

The cinnamon rolls and chicken sandwiches are some of my favorites!

Review of PlaSmart Travel Bingo

Disclosure: I received Travel Bingo to facilitate this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please see my disclosure policy)

Want to keep the kiddos entertained while they are in the car? Travel Bingo by PlaSmart is the perfect solution! I am so thrilled to feature this product in my Holiday Gift Guide and think that it would make such a fun gift idea!

You can entertain kids and keep those long road trips fun with this game! Kids can whiz by sliding the windows shut as attractions are spotted. Play alone or with another passenger Be the first to complete one line or an entire card and shout out BINGO! This comes with 2 sets of cards.

My boys have been taking advantage of Travel Bingo lately when we are in the car and they love it! I know that this will come in handy later this month when we go on vacation and are in the car for several hours at a time. I highly recommend this fun game to all of you with kiddos! Oh, even mom and dad can get in on the fun! I plan to join in!

Have you heard of Travel Bingo before? What are you thoughts on this fun game?

Review of Christmas Forest Alpine Christmas Wreath + Giveaway!

Disclosure: I was provided a wreath from Christmas Forest in exchange for my honest opinion. All thoughts are my own. (Please see my disclosure policy) 

One of the things that I love most about the holiday season is the smell of a fresh cut Christmas tree. The smell of evergreen lingers in the air and it cannot help to put a smile on my face! While I may not always be able to have a fresh cut Christmas tree here in Florida, I can have the smell of Christmas thanks to the beautiful wreaths from Christmas Forest!

What is Christmas Forest? “It is a place where magic happens every day, and the sights and scents of the holidays are alive year-round. From their very first handmade Christmas wreath sold back in 1976 at Pike Place Farmer’s Market until now, they have made it their mission to bring the very essence of Christmas into every wreath that we create. Alive with the fresh evergreen scent of the Cascade Mountains, each of their handcrafted wreaths is a one-of-a-kind creation, and a unique representation of who they are.” 

I was given the amazing opportunity to feature Christmas Forest in my Holiday Gift Guide this year and they were so generous to send a wreath to review. Christmas Forest sent me their Alpine Wreath and it is absolutely stunning! The pictures do not do it justice. In addition, the smell of Christmas is now in the air throughout my house! It definitely puts me in the Christmas spirit! The front of the box that the wreath was shipped in was too cute and has the fun message pictured below. My 6 year old really thought that the wreath came from Santa and his elves! How cute is this?

 

The Alpine Christmas Wreath looks a lot like the signature Cascade Wreath, but the elves added red berries for an extra Christmas color. Enjoy the aroma of the alpine fresh Christmas wreath from the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Everyone who sees this wreath on your door will love the pastel blue juniper berries and pale yellow incense buds from the Oregon desert. It’s very special and oh-so-stunning!

Thanks to generous folks at Christmas Forest, one My Sweet Savings reader will have the opportunity to win an Alpine Christmas Wreath for themselves! To enter the giveaway, please follow the instructions on the Rafflecopter below. The first entry is mandatory while you may gain additional entries with the other options.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Review of Younique Moodstruck Epic Mascara

I was provided with product to facilitate this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. (Please see my disclosure policy)

Many of you will remember that I have posted about Younique products here on the blog before. I absolutely love Younique’s Moodstruck 3D+ Fiber Lashes, so I was excited to be given the opportunity to review the Moodstruck Epic Mascara. In addition, I have included the Younique Epic Mascara in my Holiday Gift Guide this year!

Moodstruck Epic Mascara is a multi-effect wonder, adding proven volume, length, and clump-free curl. The brush features intermingling high and low density bristles that grip lashes at their root, maximizing definition and volume, and the tapered tip allows for defining and thickening even your tiniest, hard-to-reach lashes with precision and control.  

I personally love that that Epic Mascara is an easily buildable formula that also acts as the perfect first step of the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes+ for the most extreme eyelashes ever. I took a photo of myself with one eye done of the Moodstruck Epic Mascara and one eye without. You can really see the difference! Can you say length and volume? I highly recommend this product if you are searching for a new mascara. At only $24 it really is a great value. Do you use Younique products? What are your thoughts on the Epic Mascara?

Younique is not only all about the lashes. They feature other amazing products like the Lip Stain that I am wearing in the picture above. The Moodstruck Minerals Stiff Upper Lip Lip Stain is amazing and lasts all day! I am wearing the Sleek shade. You can see this product HERE.

Review of Original PlasmaCar + Giveaway!

Disclosure: I was provided with product to faciliate this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please see my disclosure policy)

My boys were so excited when they found out that the Original PlasmaCar was going to be featured in my Holiday Gift Guide this year. They have seen them before, and my son Brady, who is almost 6, was so excited when the PlasmaCar arrived in the mail. He could not wait for his daddy to assemble it so that he could get on and give it a spin!

The Original PlasmaCar is an innovative, ride-on toy that harnesses the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, friction, and kid power. No batteries, gears, or pedals. Patented safety seat design places rider in a safe, comfortable position and minimizes tipping. Supports up to 220 lbs. In addition, the PlasmaCar also comes in many different color options for everyone on your gift list! The PlasmaCar would make the best gift this holiday season!

As you can see from the pictures, Brady had a blast on the PlasmaCar! Once he got on, it did not take him long at all to get the hang of it and to maneuver it. He is quite the PlasmaCar pro now and wants to ride on it every time that he has the opportunity to do so. I love that the PlasmaCar gets the kids up and moving. This is definitely a great gift idea that any child is sure to love! The Original PlasmaCar supports up to 220lbs., so even the parents can join in on the fun!

Thanks to the Original PlasmaCar, one My Sweet Savings reader is going to win a PlasmaCar for themselves! Please follow the instructions on the Rafflecopter below. The first entry is mandatory while you may gain additional options with the other entries.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
