As you all know I am in love with Try the World I get to try foods for all over the world right in my own home.  They ship me a new box every month from a new wonderful place.  From Italy, to Japan they have all been awesome boxes.  Now they have something new that I love.  They have Try the World Pantry.  You take a little quiz before ordering to let them know what you do like.  For instance, I hate fish but I love sweets then they make the box just for you.  So, I know I will not be getting any fish products in my box but I will be getting sweets and crackers, ect that I do love.

 

In my box, I got

Chocolate Chip Panettone from Italy

Pineapple Cakes from Taiwan

Jewelry always makes a perfect gift for the holidays.  If you are looking for something simple and beautiful or something unique, or bold you don’t have to go any further the Honolulu Jewelry company.  They truly have something that she will love this holiday season.  I have been a fan of theirs for years I got my first piece from them when I was about 9 years old and am always looking to add more to my collection from them.

  The necklace I go to review is a simple yet beautiful turtle necklace.  This is the perfect necklace for everyday or even an evening out.  With a simple dress a nice pair of shoes this necklace will really stand out.  It looks very delicate but in reality it has a very strong chain, you won’t have to worry all night long about it breaking easily.   I have always been a fan of the quality and beauty of their jewelry.

  If you are looking for a timeless piece to give this holiday season, make sure to check out Honolulu Jewelry company you will not be disappointed.

Best Buy Tech Home In Mall Of America Minneapolis

tabbyspantry

I know a lot of people out in the world are like me. I would love to have a more Tech home but I really don’t know what half of the stuff does or how to use it. To give you a little context, a couple of weeks ago our internet connection went down and I had to ask our neighbours for some help! I was so embarrassed. Fortunately, it turned out that all I needed to do was to configure some of the settings on my Netgear router. My neighbor told me that, as long as you know your Netgear default IP address, making changes to your router is easy.

That being said, I am always on the lookout to learn new things and so therefore, Best Buy has taken care of this need for me. They have always been a go to for me when I had questions about a new product, but now if you head to The Mall of America in Minneapolis they have set up a tech home you can check out and try everything out in a home environment. This is an awesome idea not only do you get to see the best out there for modern day living but you can also try it out to see exactly how it works and with what.

Tech Home

You will be able to check out stuff from Samsung where you can see how you can make life easier and control everything from your smart phone. With the help of the geek squad you can see how everything works and even get their help on setting it up. Some of the best brands will be there Experience products from Samsung, Canon, NETGEAR, Philips Hue, Sony, Sonos, and Savant. If you are heading to the Mall of America this will be a must check out. I would love to see how all the great items work together to make life easier every day.

To celebrate the opening of this awesome Tech Home they will have 2 different sweeps going.

 

There are 2 sweepstakes opportunities at Tech Home:

 

  • Come and visit Tech Home at the Mall of America to learn how you could win a $10,000 Best Buy Gift Card, a Samsung SmartThings Smart Home Collection, Samsung Dream Kitchen, and a Samsung 55” SUHD 4K TV and more.

 

  • Be one of the first 250 to visit the Tech Home at the Mall of America each day from 8/22-9/17 and you could win one of many prizes made with Qualcomm technologies including Sonos Play:1 speakers, Samsung Gear S2, and more.

Abbreviated Rules: No purchase necessary. See www.BestBuy.com/TechHome for full rules.

Make sure on your next trip that you set aside a little time to check out the latest and greatest from the Best Buy Crew at The Mall of America.
