There are days when you just have to have a cup of coffee. Or maybe two or three. For those of you that prefer to go out and get a cup of hot coffee instead of brewing one at home but hate the price tag that comes along with those fancy coffees, I have the perfect solution. This solution won’t break your pocket either. 🙂

This weekend I discovered the Rubi Kiosks when I went to grab some groceries at Walmart. These are red kiosks like the ones we now use to rent movies with, but these red kiosk pour delicious hot and FRESH coffee that is convenient. Not just any coffee either, my new friend Rubi has Seattle’s Best Coffee.

When I first seen the coffee kiosk I was a little skeptical. When it comes to coffee, I tend to be a little picky. Once got closer to the machines I started to get excited. There is a variety of flavors of coffee to choose from. They also have hot chocolate which is a huge bonus. When it gets a little colder I will be definitely grabbing a hot cup of coffee to keep me warm while I am shopping.

This weekend I tried the Cafe Vanilla flavor on National Coffee Day. I then went back last night and grabbed a cup of the Cafe Mocha. I think that both of these flavors where yummy! I didn’t have to personalize the coffee either, it was delicious without having to add anything. The beans are grounded right when you make your order. For those of you that like extra flavor you have the option to customize your cup with some milk and sweetener options too!

I took a video of my little experience with the #Rubi2Go kiosk last night that I thought I would share to show you just how easy it is to make some yummy fresh ground coffee:

 
I had found this particular Rubi kiosk inside my local Walmart but they happen have these handy coffee kiosks all over the place! To find a Rubi near you, visit: www.HelloRubi.com.

“I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Wet Ones. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating”.

I can’t believe that the kids and I have been back in school for over a month now. I am enrolled full time this semester and this school year all four of my children are back in school. The days have went by fast, been a little hectic but definitely on a good start for everyone.

Let’s talk about SCHEDULES! This school year my son goes to school for only a few hours, one daughter is in an after school program, another one is in sports and another one in student government that needs to be at games and school events. There are days when it seems like I should be called Mom Taxi! We all have different schedules and thank goodness for calendars so we can keep track of everything that is going on.

With our busy schedules, the one thing I try to keep with me at all times is Wet Ones. They come in handy when I pick up the kids from school and don’t have time to run home to wash up, especially when my son who enjoys playing in the dirt! The Wet Ones wipes also come in handy when I go to school. Kids are not the only ones who are messy. You should see how much dirt and germs you can clean up with just one of the Wet Ones wipes on a college classroom desk.

Wet Ones has created an online booklet that is filled with “Sticky Situations” from both moms and teachers. This book is a FREE resource that features notable moments, tips and advice that celebrates all of life’s “Sticky Situations”! To download a copy of this free booklet, visit: https://bit.ly/19PnifK.

If you have kids in school, what do you keep handy for quick cleanups?

There are many days when it is sunny outside that you will catch me wearing long sleeves. Not because I am cold, because I want to protect my sun from the skin. There are so many people that have skin cancer or going to get skin cancer that is scares me. I used to use a tanning booth to get color on my skin until I read a magazine article on a flight home last year about a young lady that got skin cancer from continuous use of those lights in the tanning bed.

Coppertone has a product out on the market called Tattoo Guard that contains UVA/UVB sunscreen to help protect against UV rays that can fade or blur tattoos. If you have a tattoo that you like, you will probably tell me that it hurt getting it. You probably also don’t want that tattoo to fade, especially if you spent a pretty penny on it. Tattoos can be expensive and with exposure to the sun, can fade and not look so pretty.

You can currently purchase the Tattoo Guard from Coppertone in both the lotion for and sunscreen stick. Here are some of the features you might want to know:

When it comes to plastic storage containers, I absolutely LOVE Tupperware. This is one of those brands that have been around my entire life. Its one of those brands where you think of the word Tupperware when you see plastic storage containers, even if it that plastic container was made by another company.

When I was younger I used to sell Tupperware. Sometimes there were months where I probably bought more than I sold. Even though I really enjoyed selling the product, I had to stop because it was too expensive for me. I wanted at least one of all their products. Right now I am loving their new product lines that they have now. But don’t get me wrong, I would be excited if my grandma gave me all her Tupperware she has had for years.

Tupperware Brands has incorporated new technology into its FridgeSmart containers to keep fall produce fresher for days longer to save consumers time and ensure that their money is well-spent.

The redesigned FridgeSmart Containers offers better air circulation and advanced moisture protection. To choose which of the three options works best for what you are trying to store, view the handy storage chart on the side of the container.

The storage chart is relocated for easier viewing, while an improved venting system moves to an easy-open seal. The containers are available in five different sizes to accommodate different types of refrigerators and storage needs.

I have a few of these Fridgesmart containers and think they are awesome. I normally don’t store product too well in the fridge, so these containers have been making the produce I buy definitely last longer. I am also using my largest to store my flour in the kitchen since I learned in baking class about flours going bad if you don’t store it right.

One of my favorite uses for these is to keep my fresh cut watermelon. I buy the watermelon and take it home and let it sit in the fridge for a day to get cold. I then cut it up in small chunks and put in my medium size FridgeSmart Container. It keeps my watermelon looking and tasting fresh for almost a week!

You can buy these containers individually or you can buy set of 4 for only $84.00. For more info or to make a purchase visit: www.tupperware.com
