This months crate theme was TITAN." It's all about the gods of war- from manga to xbox One"

I love the little magazine ( info booklet ) that is included in the Loot Crate .
It has an exclusive look at the new game Titanfall, which in my opinion looks pretty awesome.
In this month's crate is :

Exclusive Titanfall T-Shirt
I love this t-shirt, being as I kept the shirt from last month's LootCrate, I figure it's only fair that my husband gets this one. It looks better on him anyways. :)

Attack on Titan Manga: 1
I was not familiar with Manga until my husband told me about it when I saw this in the box.
Not really my kind of thing though, so hubby gets to read it and tell me all about it. It's read in reverse but it's English and has lots of bonus content not seen in the series.

Titanfall C101 Lanyard
I love cool looking lanyard's, going to put my keys on this one for sure.

Attack on Titan- Scouting Regiment Wristband:

I'm not big on wearing wristbands, but it is cool.

Attack on Titanfall Magnet:
I love this magnet, it's already on our fridge. Now to keep the little munchkin from ripping it off .

 Also included for those of you who bought Titanfall, is a Titanfall Premium Strategy Eguide

There are also two candies in the box that were bonus items for St.Patrick's Day and a bonus collectible pin.

I really enjoyed this Loot Crate probably because I have been following all the hype about Titanfall lately. Absolutely LOVE the t-shirt.

Lavazza Drip Coffee Review - BzzAgent

I'm happy to say that I'm a BzzAgent.It's a website that offers campaigns ( free products ) in exchange for reviews, and  media sharing. Here is the link to the website: BzzAgent .
I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Lavazza Drip Coffee Campaign, which was awesome because I love coffee.
I received the following in the kit :

• A FREE 12 oz bag of Lavazza Gran Aroma Specialty Drip Coffee
• A FREE 12 oz bag of Lavazza Gran Selezione Specialty Drip Coffee
• A travel mug for you
• $4-off coupons to share with other coffee drinkers
• Lavazza magnets to pass along, too
• An Italian Gestures Game for your Passion Party 

 I was beyond excited when I picked this up from the post office!

Lavazza is known as Italy's favourite coffee and they have been around since 1895. Click here  for Lavazza's history.
They come in a wide variety of blends/ flavours. The four that this campaign offered were the NEW specialty Drip Coffees:

•  Gran Aroma -  A highly aromatic blend for the true coffee connoisseur. 

• Classico -A rich and full-bodied flavour, bringing Italian Passion to your everyday ritual. 

• Gran Selezione -A 100% fine Arabica, 100% sustainably grown blend. 

• Perfetto -The ideal choice for those who love the pure pleasure of espresso roasts. 

Click here to see all the blends that they offer.

I received Gran Aroma, and Gran Selezione.

Gran Aroma is their mildest blend, and personally out of the two that I sampled, I LOVE the Gran Aroma.
It's not super strong, but it is full of flavour and doesn't leave any bad aftertaste that I find a lot of coffee's do.
I also noticed that it is so finely ground that it looks like cocoa powder, not huge grains like a lot of store bought coffees.

The Gran Selezione wasn't my favourite; however on their intensity scale it's a 5/5. It also says there are some chocolatey undertones, I didn't really taste any, but I have only brewed it once so far.
I prefer Lavazza coffee over our reguler ( Maxwell) by far.
Once I use up the two bags I received I will definitely be buying more. I'll probably buy another bag of Gran Aroma, and maybe try Classico instead of the Gran Selezione.( Selezione is for coffee drinkers who prefer a stronger, more intense coffee) It was good, just not for me.

 Lavazza's website also has some recipes on there, specifically a coffee cake recipe!
Overall, my experience with this brand was great, and they definitely have a new customer/fan of their product.
For info go to Lavazza's website.  I recommend this brand for any coffee lover out there.
Have you ever tried Lavazza? If so, what do you think about it?


*Disclaimer* I received this product complimentary through BzzAgent, and all opinions are my own.

February's Loot Crate- Warriors

My husband and I subscribed to Loot Crate in January. I have watched a bunch of unboxing videos and reviews, and the inner geek in my husband and I, wanted our own Loot Crate to unbox.

For those of you who don't know what Loot Crate is. It's a monthly subscription box, full of geek and gamer products. You receive 6-8 awesome products in each box, and they're guaranteed to have a value of $30 or more ( for the box ). They ship to the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK. You can choose, 1 month plan, 3 months or 6 months. ( My husband and I have a monthly subscription )
This is a late post, and I only took one picture of this month's Crate; however next month I will take more and have it posted in time.

I did look at spoilers before opening my box. It was themed Warriors, and I am not familiar with Bravest Warrior, so I had to do some research on this one.

 

I apologize for the lack of pictures.

Included in the crate is:

Alpha Battle T-shirt:
I love this t-shirt, it has a bunch of popular game characters on it.

Bravest Warriors Bow Tie:
I don't really know what Bravest Warriors are, and I don't have a use for this bow tie, although I have thought of using it in my little one's hair.

GPS Cinch Bag:
I was unsure about this bag until I realized it's a Bravest Warriors bag lol.
I love bags like this, and use them to carry stuff around anytime we take a trip.

Dunny Sideshow or Bot Blind:
I love collectable's like this. I want to collect them all, same goes for the Pop Vinyl Figures.

Bacon Love Card:
 I forgot to add it into the picture, at the time my little one was walking around with it, because.... who doesn't love bacon?! It was a little late for Valentine's Day; but still a cute sentiment.

 Bravest Warriors Digital Comic, and Bravest Warriors Sticker:
I'm going to have a collection of all these awesome themed stickers on one of my walls, sooner or later.

This wasn't my favourite Loot Crate; however I've only ordered two so far. March's theme is TITANS, and I'm excited because it includes another epic t-shirt!
For just under $20, it was definitely worth it. I LOVE Loot Crate and look forward to this months.

Weightloss Update- Day 23

Things have been hectic lately, so I haven't had time to update since my last post.
I'm now on day 23 of my 90 day challenge with Visalus. ( I have had two cheat days total, and after them I felt horrible)
I am down 5lbs.
I've been doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred a couple of days a week. This week, I'm doing it 5 days in a row with Saturday off.
I will post a weightloss before and after picture on Day 30,60 and 90 of course.
I'm not seeing any big changes yet, although I do feel WAY better,
I've been drinking one Visalus shake a day, and cutting out processed and sugary foods. ( Eating clean)
I drink a ton of water during the day and I find that I'm more alert, and I'm no longer sleepy in the mornings when waking up at dawn with our daughter.
I have more energy and can stay up later.
I found a couple of good Visalus shake recipes on Pintrest lately, and so far my favourite has been the coffee one.
Here are the three I've been making the most :

The combinations are limitless. If you'd like to join me on my 90 day challenge, contact me. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I will be a better and healthier me for myself, our daughter and my husband.
