Additions to Your Holiday Shopping List

Whether you are doing shopping for yourself or someone on your holiday list, you can’t go wrong with these items I’ve fallen for lately.

SCOTTeVEST
I’ve heard a lot about this travel friendly company, but I never imagined just how good they were until I got one of my own. I chose the Sterling Jacket, which also converts to a vest. It’s form fitting and flattering, with an amazing array of pockets so you can secure everything from your water bottle to your keys to your passport. I also happen to love the Boysenberry color.

SCOTTeVEST is the perfect gift for travelers, and I also suggest you pick up one of your own. Check for specials on their website.



Pistachio Chewy Bites
One of the things you should stock your SCOTTeVEST with is a package of Setton Farms Pistachio Chewy Bites. These delicious snacks are also nutritious. A packet of two – which is about the size of an average protein bar – has 7 grams of protein, and only 8 grams of sugar, with low glycemic agave nectar. The ingredients are simply pistachios, cranberries, and the sweetener. Keep in mind that the calorie total is a little high at 210, so stick to just one of the bites if it’s an after meal snack.

Purchase the Setton Farms Pistachio & Cranberry Chewy Bites at Amazon.



The Kitchen Bounty Amazing Rubs
I could rave about the products – and cooking – by Terri Bergman all day. Here’s one of The Kitchen Bounty items which is a perfect gift for this season. Make sure you also get some extra to keep in your kitchen. I cook with them all the time. 
 The Amazing Rub Trifecta
This includes three of The Kitchen Bounty’s best seasonings: Amazing Rub, for caramelizing and flavoring meats and vegetables; Amazing Heat, a mixture of spice for your spiciest creations; and Amazing Herbs, a blend of cheese and herbs that can be used in just about anything.

The Amazing Rub Trifecta is available at TheKitchenBounty.com


2014 Sterling Vineyards Vintner’s Collection Chardonnay                               
If you are looking for a special wine to serve or give this season, pick up a bottle of this. It’s a full-bodied chardonnay, filled with butter and oak for a complex mouthful you won’t soon forget.

You can get Sterling’s Vintner’s Chardonnay at their winery or online.


Villa Gemma Bianco IGT Colline Teatine IGT
This wine is well worth its $15 price for a food-friendly white. It’s not overly fruity and just has a bit of lemon so you can serve it with anything.

Check the Villa Gemma website for where to buy this wine.
Tanqueray Bloomsbury
One of the reasons I love gin is because everyone is different. As long as you have some juniper in the final spirit, it doesn’t matter what other fruits, herbs, and flowers you put in there. Tanqueray Bloomsbury is a perfect example of that. Instead of the more common heavy citrus, this delicious gin has taste and nose filled with herbs and fruit, with the cassis and juniper standing out.

Whether you are already a gin lover or love to experiment with interesting spirits, read more about Tanqueray Bloomsbury. 


Cash Back!                                                        
I’m all about easy rebates and I have to highly recommend these three sites for getting cash back on online purchases of just about everything. I belong to all three check each of these before buying for coupons and cash back. Although Giving Assistant doesn’t have quite as many offers as the others, it’s worth a check because in addition to giving you cash, they donate meals.

Here are the links to sign up. Sign up bonuses are usually available too.

Cheers to the Holidays

The holidays are often a time for me to try some interesting spirits, new and old. This year is no different. Rumchata options… Rumchata has been a favorite of mine since it first hit the market. I love cordials that you don’t have to get too creative with if you aren’t in the mood. I love it straight over ice, but you can mix it with just about anything. They even sell a gift box that includes shot glasses so you can measure perfectly. One of the options for Rumchata is to put it in your coffee and the company has no made that even easier with Rumchata Creamer. This is not a flavored creamer, it has the real liquor in it and it will make your coffee into a major treat. Another cordial to enjoy… I wasn’t sure what to expect from Tippy Cow Peppermint Bark , but it was a perfect mix of sweet, creamy and minty, without too much of any of those.  My friends devoured the mini bottles (great for picnics) chilled. I managed to put one aside to have with my

Happy Holidays and a Wonderful New Year

Image
Unfortunately, I’m ending the year about the way I began, with my health dominating. I just had ankle reconstruction and have not gotten through all the products I’ve gotten the last few months. Truthfully, this is the only story I’ve done since the surgery and painkillers do not go with wine and spirits, so I’m afraid most of those are going to have to wait. Here’s what I have enjoyed lately. Coconut for a purpose… The benefits of coconut oil can go on and on. The top of the list for me is as a moisturizer. I’ve yet to find anything that can make my skin retain moisture like it.  It’s also a great hair conditioner, sunblock, cooking oil and more. Dignity Raw Coconut Oil does all these things as good, or better, than the rest, but its history makes it much more in need of purchase. As the name suggests, it’s about bringing dignity to by helping those living in poverty with a sustainable business. A partnership of engineers from the Philippines and the United States worked o

Enjoy These Products: It’s Time To Make A Decision

Image
My health comes first and, with chronic illnesses, that doesn’t leave me the ability to work very much. I need to use those part time hours to earn money. I have been presenting products I like  on Spiritstraveler for 13 years, but I am going to have to stop. I will still consider products for social media (@Spiritstraveler on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest & Facebook) and paid partnerships. Another option to relax… The times are changing. It’s no longer just alcoholic drinks people are relaxing with. Cannabis drinks are becoming more popular and the Loki seltzers have been top rated. I really liked the flavor of the Lavender Peach, and I had a friend try, and also enjoy the Blackberry Lemon. There is no sugar in them and only five calories. These have 20 mg of hemp derived Delta 8. I am not an expert on the subject, but the Sip Loki website explains more about its properties. While not THC, it does have similar properties. It is legal in 34 states. I  have to admit that I did
