Tea Bag Buddy

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Epoca International for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I'm a huge tea drinker it is my go to drink when I want something besides water. Hot tea is of course is my favorite because well I like anything that warms me up. what I don't like is having to deal with the hot tea bag when I'm  done brewing my cup of tea.  You know  what I'm talking about if your a tea drinker  having to fish out the tea bag out because the string always seems to fall in then try to squeeze the excess  water out. I either end up burning myself or making a mess.

So imagine my delight when I found this really cool product called the Tea Bag Buddy.



It's this really lovely product made of 100% silicone that keeps your fingers from getting burned plus it has handy little spot for your string to go. Also in addition to all that you can lay on top of your cup to trap in the steam for the best cup of tea ever. It is like the coolest product in town and it comes in several fabulous colors for you to choose from. Personally I love this product and I have brought one in all three colors so I can give them as gifts to my mom and sisiter-in-law.

GravyMaster

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of GravyMaster for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.


I love food all kinds of food and I have the hips and butt to prove it what I don't like is long hours in the kitchen. I know I can hear my grandmother saying "when I was a girl" you know insert the correct line. Well now long hours in the kitchen to get flavor in your foods isn't necessary. I know you are are all wondering where i am going with this well over the years I've learned short cuts and tricks to getting the same flavors as what use to take hours in minutes.

One of my kitchen secrets is GravyMaster it's this great little bottle of seasoning I use in my gravy, to caramelize vegetables and in grilling meats to lock in flavors. It is like getting grandma's homemade cooking in a bottle.
One of my favorite ways to use this little secret is to add just 2 teaspoon to my grilled Fajita mix and oh my what a scrumptious tasting set of vegetable and meat you have my family devours them and I get to Master the meal. Why not be your own GravyMaster and go take a look at their website where you will find all kinds of wonderful recipes and information to make you the one in the home to Master the meal.Plus if youlike what you read you can place an order for this holiday season.
 so tell me if you had this little secret in your kitchen how would you use it?

My Habits

Guest post written by Rolf Tate




I love my direct tv and watching my regular shows more than most people do. I am religious about my TV schedule, even though I get judged for it. I know some of my friends look down on me because they think I stay home and watch too much TV, but I never really understood why there is such a negative connotation on this habit. Even though I’ve always been a TV watcher, I’m also active and a hard worker. I still eat right and make time for exercise and other activities. For some reason I feel like people automatically think that if you watch a lot of TV that you are a lazy, good for nothing. The way I look at it is that some people like to play team sports, others like antiques, and I like TV. So what if I stay home on Sunday nights because I’ll watch any and every series HBO and Showtime have to offer? So what if I like to DVR every news-magazine show available? I don’t understand why other people think that they can just share their opinions of my lifestyle. They don’t pay my bills, so if I want to watch a lot of TV it’s really none of their business!
