ABCNECKTIES Review and Giveaway
Here's a little something for the men. When Haley approached me about the Reading Glasses Shopper, she also asked if I would be interested in reviewing a Neck Tie from ABCNECKTIES. I agreed because my husband has a collection of ties and he would love it. So I talked to him about it and he wanted a gold, gray, or brownish color and it had to be silk. I requested the Golden Woven Grid Silk Tie.
Reading Glasses Shopper Review and Giveaway
When Haley approached me about reviewing a pair of reading glasses from Reading Glasses Shopper, I was excited, yet sad. Let me explain, I wear prescription lenses so I really couldn't wear reading glasses also. But I went to the Reading Glasses Shopper website and pretended that I was able to wear them and had fun picking a pair. Now keep in mind I'm 50 and need bifocals so my choices will probably be limited or old lady looking, so don't get too excited.

Wilton UltraGold Review and Giveaway
I enjoy baking cookies but haven't done it in awhile due to my cookie sheets being old and everything sticks. I finally wore them out. So I was looking around to purchase some new ones and came across the Wilton website. It just happens they have a brand new line that came out in January called the UltraGold Bakeware.They sent me the the 11x17 Jelly roll pan.
Well I used it yesterday to make some cookies. My cookies turned out perfect. They baked perfectly, no buckling of the pan, they came off the pan without any sticking and the thing that impressed me the most is the fact that the pan cooled so fast.
The UltraGold Bakeware is made from high quality aluminum to assure no warping or rusting. It also is specially treated with a process called Anodizing which means the aluminum is made more durable and scratch resistant. Anodizing slows down the oxidation so your pan stays beautiful after years of use. The UltraGold Bakeware has over sized handles to allow for easier transfer to the oven and to remove from the oven when hot. They have a variety of sizes and shapes:
Wilton's Online Store has many categories to choose from:
- Baby Shop
- Bakeware Shop
- Book & Video Shop
- Brownie Shop
- Cake Decorating Shop
- Candy Shop
- Celebration Shop
- Cookie Shop
- Cupcake Shop
- Famous Character Shop
- Fondant Shop
- Party Shop
- Wedding Shop
- Stationery
- Gifts from the Kitchen
- New Products From Wilton
- Copco
They also have an Ideas section that I found to be most helpful and bookmarked it.
You may also want to bookmark the Recipes section.
Wilton is giving one of my lucky readers an UltraGold Bakware 11x17 Jelly Roll Pan. The mandatory entry for this giveaway is visiting the Wilton Online Store and pick a department you would like to shop and pick the product you want and tell me why you picked that product.(THIS IS MANDATORY AND MUST BE DONE OR YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED).
