Stay Energized This Holiday Season with @HighBrewCoffee

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


High Brew Coffee is a portable, shelf stable, ready-to-drink coffee that comes in delicious flavors such as Mexican Vanilla, Double Espresso and Black and Bold. At only 60 calories per can or less, High Brew provides the perfect caffeine boost during the busy and hectic holiday season.


They never apply heat, but use filtered, ambient temperature water instead to brew their coffee. Cold-brew coffee has a smoother, bolder, less acidic and bitter flavor due to the absence of heat in brewing process. High Brew cold-brew coffee contains a higher amount of caffeine due to an optimal coffee bean, grind, ratio of coffee to water and brewing process. Cold-brew is not to be confused with iced coffee, which is hot brewed coffee that has been poured over ice.


High Brew is also the perfect base ingredient for seasonal cocktails with a kick! Check out this recipe below for Salted Caramel Martini:

The Salted Caramel Martini will give your holiday guests an indulgent, boozy treat with a jolt of energy.


Ingredients:
· 1 part Vodka
· 1 part Coffee Liqueur
· 2 parts Salted Caramel High Brew Coffee

Add all components to shaker, plus ice. Pour into martini glasses and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings

Sweet Stocking Stuffers from Heavenly Organics

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


Heavenly Organics is a raw, organic honey company. Founded in 2005, Heavenly Organics produces and distributes organic, non-GMO, fair trade and kosher certified Chocolate Honey Patties™, Raw Honey and Whole-Cane Sugar. Heavenly Organics Chocolate Honey Patties received the 2016 NEXTY award for Best New Sweet/Dessert. Flavors include Mint, Pomegranate, Almond, Peanut, Double Dark and Ginger. Wrapped in brightly colored packaging, these patties would be the ideal treat for any stocking.


Heavenly Organics was created as a way to help sustain the economic and cultural survival of indigenous people located in remote and conflicted areas of Northern and Central India and parts of the Himalayas. The company was built on the belief that the only way to eliminate conflict is to provide ethical job opportunities. Heavenly Organics has created worker-owned cooperatives that have been leading the authentic fair trade movement and creating big change for over ten years.



Heavenly Organics raw 100% organic honey is so divine and different from other organic raw honeys because it comes from naturally-occurring wild beehives found deep within the pristine forests of Northern and Central India and parts of the Himalayan Mountains. That means that neither the hives nor the free-range bees have ever been exposed to pesticides, pollutants, genetically modified crops or antibiotics. Their honey is chemical free!

Heavenly Organics is truly something special and is the cleanest sourced honey you can find!

Press the toy freight train’s light-up button to hear three sing-along songs and learn the letter “F” and the name of the vehicle.


The included train responds to nine SmartPoint locations with fun phrases, music and more.
