It's time for Throwback Thursday
sponsored by

Join us weekly as we add a new stroll down memory lane
to our weekly Throwback Thursday Link Up!

When I was growing up, cartoons were mostly reserved for Saturday mornings. I'd lay on the floor in front of our huge console television and watch cartoons for hours. By the time noon rolled around, all the cartoons were over and we were sent outside to play. Here's a list of my favorite childhood cartoons:
  • Scooby Doo
  • The Roadrunner
  • The Jetsons
  • Speed Racer
  • Schoolhouse Rock
  • Johnny Quest
  • The Flintstones
  • Richie Rich
What cartoons did you watch as a child?

Monroe and Main Spring Dress Event - Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: This is a Fashionista Event Opportunity. 
I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
Monroe and Main is getting ready for spring with fabulous new designs. Check out this gorgeous dress called Knot Your Mothers Dress! It is available in five different colors and seven different sizes (s, m, l, xl, 1x, 2x, and 3x). It's super soft, very flattering, and machine washable (yay!), but my favorite thing about this dress is its versatility. I can easily wear it from season to season with a few accessory changes.
I accessorized it first with a cream cami underneath and a black shrug sweater over it. Then I added my black shoes and a multicolored bead necklace to pull the colors together. I chose the pink dress because it is my favorite color, but also because the bright color complements my light skin and dark hair.
Next, I wore the Knot Your Mothers Dress with a long-sleeved white t-shirt underneath and a knitted charcoal infinity scarf that sports a big pink bow on it. I really like that I can layer under this dress without adding bulk to the cut of the dress. The empire waistband is flattering on virtually anyone of any shape or size and I love the knotted look of the bodice.
This last look is my favorite. The pink and turquoise colors in my ankle boots really tie together the pink dress and turquoise cardigan sweater, plus I added black leggings and a black cami underneath. A string of pink pearls softens the entire look. Which look do you like best on me?
Shop for your spring wardrobe at www.monroeandmain.com. Be sure to follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest so you can be first to hear about new styles and special promotions.

Win a Knot Your Mothers Dress
in your choice of color and size!

iCoffee Remington SteamBrew Technology - Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
Remington has reinvented the coffee maker and I'm so excited to introduce you to it! The sleek new iCoffee uses a whole new technology called SteamBrew, that does so much more than just dump hot water over coffee grounds. iCoffee's patented SteamBrew technology uses steam jets inside the coffee brew basket. The jets pre-steam the coffee, then stir the coffee grounds during the brewing process so the coffee grounds are completely suspended and surrounded by hot water at the perfect brewing temperature. Next, a rich coffee crema forms, indicating the elimination of bitter and acidic aftertastes.
“What we’ve done is redefine coffeemaking,” said inventor Bruce Burrows. “The ‘i’ in iCoffee stands for innovation, which is what we strive for in all our products. With iCoffee, we’ve found a way to use all the goodness of steam to release the locked-in flavors of your favorite coffee grounds, just like steaming rice and vegetables. This eliminates any bitterness and the result is impossibly smooth tasting coffee. There’s never been a machine in coffee brewing history that uses this technology. The difference in taste is unprecedented.”
Fortunately for me, my new iCoffee arrived just as my old coffee maker died. Can you imagine navigating a Monday morning without coffee? So my husband and I stumbled around the kitchen, unpacking the iCoffee and reading directions. Thankfully, it was a simple process, and what fun to push the start button and hear music announcing the start and end of the SteamBrew technology!
There is even a brew window so I can watch the amazing SteamBrew technology in action. The iCoffee has a coffee brew basket so it requires no paper filters, which means I'll save money and decrease the trash we throw out. I simply rinse out the brew basket with its premium goldtone filter and scoop in more coffee grounds for my next pot!
iCoffee also offers programmable auto start, so I can set the time I want it to start and have hot, delicious coffee already waiting for me when I wake up. Did I mention HOW much more delicious my coffee tastes with this new SteamBrew technology? It's absolutely heavenly and tastes so much better than the exact same amount of coffee grounds in my old coffee maker!
One of the things I really like about iCoffee is the open area where the coffeepot sits on the heated plate; it allows me more flexibility to pick up the coffeepot from any direction (as opposed to a boxed-in design). The coffeepot is also lighter than my old one and the handle is more comfortable in my hand.
The coffee brew basket itself is a step above because it has a secure-fitting lid that seals in the grounds and the steam so there's no mess from water splashing up during the SteamBrew process. Plus, not a single coffee ground got into the coffeepot or into my cup, which was unheard of with my old coffee maker. It also has a handle on it for easy removal for rinsing.
iCoffee by Remington makes the most exquisite coffee I've ever tasted. It took over 7 years of testing and over 1257 prototypes for Remington to create this amazing technology and I am so glad they didn't give up! If you love coffee, you must get an iCoffee because no matter what coffee brand you like, it will taste remarkably better.
