Best of 2012 – The Year in Review

Share

Well, another year has come to a close and I hope that you have enjoyed visiting my blog! I hope that you found information about products that you did not know about before and then tried them out yourself! I also hope that you had a chance to try some of the recipes that I posted or chuckled over one of the blog posts. The Best of 2012 features some of the products that I had the chance to review.

I was fortunate enough to connect with some great companies during the last year and hope to reconnect with them as well as a whole bunch of new companies for 2013!

Most, if not all of the products I received could be used by someone in my family. A few products were given away as they were unsuitable to our needs. I have to say that although most of the products were great, some stood out more than others. This, of course, was due to their usefulness, and the quality of the product.

I was not compensated by these companies for this end of the year post, and could have included many more companies on this post but will limit it to a few that really stand out. Hopefully, the new year will bring more new products my way that you will find equally amazing!

Without further ado, here are a few of the Best of 2012!

Rosebud Perfume Company has been in business for more than 100 years. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to review a couple of products that were manufactured by this company. Protecting your lips is very important no matter what season it is! Rosebud Perfume Company offers a wide range of lip balm products that help to soothe, soften, and protect your lips, no matter what age you are! Read more about the Rosebud Lip Balm products here.

Sweets for Feet is a beauty treatment designed for the feet. It is found in many high end spas all over the USA. At present, there are five different creams that are designed to soften the dry skin on the soles of your feet as well as well as invigorate your sense of smell with their delectable scent. They are definitely pleasing to any girl’s spa regime! Read more about the review here.

Another amazing product that I reviewed this year is the Keurig B70 Brewing System! For those of you who want versatility in a brewing system, definitely think about getting this product! Be warned… you will definitely go through lots of coffee, juices, teas, and cocoa’s with this machine! Only had mine for a few months and probably went through 10-15 different boxes of K cups. I eventually ended up getting a refillable filter for the Keurig and will save a few bucks by filling it with coffee. However, every now and again I will splurge and get some of the flavored K cups. Definitely worth it! Read more about the review here.

USAopoly has many family-friendly games on the market. Many of them have been designed based on favorite games of our past. I was fortunate to review a couple of games for them and this one combines both the game of chess and the amazing Super Mario characters from Nintendo. Beautiful work of artistry and lots of fun to play. Read more about the product here.

Bar Harbor Foods offers a selection of canned seafood, bisques, and juices that are exceptionally tasty. I would recommend that seafood lovers try their products, especially the Bar Harbor Clam Chowder. It is simply out of this world! Read more about their products here.

Starlooks Starbox is a beauty subscription box that costs only $15.00 per month. It consists of makeup/beauty products that are worth a lot more than what your subscription costs you. Definitely a product that offers great value! You can read more about the Starlooks Starbox here.

Aroma Housewares offers a wide range of small appliances that will help make cooking easier! I was lucky to review their 6 quart digital pressure cooker that does more than just pressure cook your food. This small appliance tenderizes your meat and also offers the versatility of a crock pot. You will love the convenience of this small appliance! Read more about the 6 quart pressure cooker here.

Newman’s Own Organics manufactures a wide range of products that are organic, gluten-free, and good for you. I received a rather ample box of their products which included chocolate, candy, fruit bars, cookies, mints, pretzels, and more.

    The Bar Harbor Foods products sounds really good. I have never heard of them before.

    I received a Keurig last year and I have been loving it. Every once in awhile it leaks, but other than that it’s great. I think because I washed the reservoir in the dishwasher once. oops

    Sweets for Feet and USAopoly definitely sound like companies who have products we would be interested in trying! Thanks for the great reviews and mentioning these stand out products that I overlooked previously! Happy New Year!

    Wow those look like some great companies and products! I have never seen that Mario Chess game before, my boys would love it! I also want to try the Starlooks box, for $15, what an amazing deal!

    I can’t wait to see what awesome things you review in 2013!
