Products I Love: Personalized Money Envelopes

Happy Holidays! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now that we're done stuffing  ourselves full of turkey and fixings, it's time for Christmas shopping and stuffing stockings instead.

And today is one of the best shopping days of them all....Cyber Monday! But what do you do for the people on your list that need cash for the holidays and not an actual gift? We have a son in college, a sister and brother-in-law who are installing wood floors in their new home, and a nephew and niece-in-law who are expecting their first baby. For some cash is much appreciated during the holidays. Because you can only fit so much into a dorm room, who needs more candy, and more baby clothes just becomes over whelming.

I don't necessarily mind giving cash, I understand it's much needed for some. But it's hard to make giving cash fun and festive during the holidays. So how can we make giving cash fun for you to give? Well, I'm glad you asked!

A few years ago I found these darling personalized money envelopes from Littlebeane Boutique on Etsy, that dress up your Christmas cash for gifting to your favorite people. And they're not just for Christmas, they also make personalized money envelopes for Birthdays, Graduations and even the Tooth Fairy! Plus they take custom orders too.

I purchase these money envelopes every Christmas and every Christmas they are a hit. People love to see their names on products and people love money even more. It's a win, win really.  And seriously, most people just toss the card that you spent all that time searching for. People tend to keep a hold of these personalized money envelopes to put in a scrapbook, or they hand it right back to me to use for another Christmas and Birthday.

If you're looking for a fun way to give out holiday cash to your family, teachers and adult children, go to this link and purchase yours today! And they are about the same price as a card, at $3.99 each and can be purchased from this link at www.littlebeaneboutique.etsy.com PS turn around time is great too!

So while you're shopping on this fun Cyber Monday, go to Littlebeane Boutique and purchase some of these cute personalized money envelopes for your favorite people on your list.

Products I Love: Ayesha Curry Bacon Grease Can

Ah, Bacon. The sizzle, the crackle, the smell. Just the smell of bacon makes gives me all the feels. The smell of bacon brings back childhood memories of camping, my Mom cooking in the kitchen on a Sunday morning with the smells of fresh coffee and pancakes lingering in the background. Bacon is a comfort food we can all appreciate.

And I like to save my bacon drippings for other added flavor and seasoning. If you've never saved your bacon grease but want to start, make sure you strain the bacon grease with a cheese cloth and then transfer it into an air tight container. After you transfer your bacon grease into an air tight container make sure to put it into the refrigerator. Storing your grease in the refrigerator can actually stay good for up to 1 year! But you never want to store the bacon grease with bits of meat because it can turn rancid with a few weeks. So strain that bacon grease!

I love to use this ADORABLE bacon grease can by Ayesha Curry. You can get yours on Amazon Prime for $11.55 Click on this link to order yours: Ayesha Curry Bacon Grease Can other colors are available but at different prices.

Save your Bacon Drippings using this adorable can! Click on link above!

I just love this little bacon grease can, it's way cuter than using a coffee can and it's air tight, just what you need! Plus, when digging through your refrigerator, you always know where your bacon grease is thanks to Ayesha Curry's super cute design on the front. 

So with that said, Christmas is coming up and I know some of you have Mama's that still use bacon grease like I do. So why don't you gift your favorite bacon loving Mom with this Bacon Grease Can from Ayesha Curry sold on Amazon

Still not sold on saving your bacon grease drippings? Check out these 8 uses for bacon grease! Enjoy!

Products I Love: Ginger Snaps Jewlery

I love bracelets. The more jingle and jangle to the bangle the better. I love bracelets, however, I don't own a ton of them. If I did, my jewelry box would be even more crowded than it already is. But what I love more than anything else is wearing jewelry for the holidays. If I can get away with wearing holiday jewelry without looking like I'm my daughter's age, I'm gonna do it. She's 8 by the way...

There's just something about wearing a bracelet with a pumpkin or Christmas tree on it that just makes my heart smile. But I also love to wear jewelry for any occasion, you know for like a Monday.

But I get it, jewelry can get expensive, crowded and cluttered. Well, it used to....until my awesome, wonderful Mom-In-Law gifted me this bracelet last year for Christmas. And to say I'm obsessed with it, would be an understatement. This is Ginger Snaps. Ginger Snaps is an interchangeable jewelry line that has button-like charms that snap in and out of bracelets, necklaces, rings, key chains, purses and even shoes! Yes, I said shoes!

I own the 1-snap multi chain bracelet and I have slowly started collecting my own different snaps. As you can see I have holiday snaps, collegiate snaps and fun sparkle snaps. You can also buy initial snaps, faith snaps, animal snaps and so much more. These snaps are just so cute and fun, how could you not love them?! There's something for everyone.

So instead of buying a dozen or more different holiday and occasion bracelets and necklaces, all you need is one and then you can have fun buying all the different snaps. Snaps are fairly cheap too, they'll run you anywhere around $6.95 and up and they ship very quickly. Ginger Snaps always has some free snap special to help build your collection. If you're looking to start your collection this month, so you can be festive like yours truly,  Ginger Snaps has a Halloween offer: purchase $25 or more and get 2 free Halloween snaps! Just enter the code: SPOOKY at checkout. 

Who doesn't love free? Normally, it's only 1 free snap but with this Halloween offer, you get 2 for free! Trust me when I say, people will stop and ask you about your Ginger Snap Jewelry, they are that cute and eye catching. Again, enter the code SPOOKY at check out to score your 2 free Halloween snaps @ www.gingersnapsjewelry.com
