Ninja Coffee Bar Review & Giveaway!

I am so excited to review the new Ninja Coffee Bar for you today!  If you read my blog you know I love coffee. I drink it from the time I get up until the time I go to bed.  I go from hot in the morning to iced in the afternoon, and then some type of hot specialty coffee at night.  I use a few different machines throughout the day which can make it a pain, but that has all changed since I started using the Ninja Coffee Bar!

Earlywood Designs for Small Business Saturday #Giveaway

The first-ever Small Business Saturday took place on Nov 27.
It encouraged people across the country to support small, local businesses, 

and I am happy to introduce you to a very special one...Earlywood Designs.

As you can see from the picture above, Earlywood Design products are beautiful!  It all started with Brad pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering.  Being an artistic guy he found the structured world of mathematics and laws that is engineering to be confining, and I longed for a creative outlet.  It was the search for this outlet that led me to the hardware store where I picked up a chisel and a jigsaw.  Armed with my new tools, I started creating wooden utensils. The totally consuming nature of the spoon shaping process provided me the disconnect that I needed to survive my time in the mechanical engineering program.  On the other hand, it was the critical engineering and design experience I gained that has helped me define the simple, clean and always utilitarian style that sets Earlywood utensils apart from others.  Take a look!

I have used many pans over the years, some I like and some I love!  For me to love a pan it has to be durable, hold up to excessive use, be strong, sturdy, cook evenly, clean easily, and cook like a charm!
