Java Factory Smooth Caffeinator Review and Giveaway - Ends 10/8

Disclosure:  We received free product to facilitate our honest and unbiased review.  All opinions stated are those of the Shelly's Bits and Pieces family.  Please note that the sponsor is responsible for prize fulfillment!

We were thrilled when we were given the chance to review Java Factory Roasters Smooth Caffeinator coffee.  Our k-cup machine can get quite a workout because our entire family loves coffee and we are always on the look out for something delicious.  This coffee certainly fit the bill and has been a wonderful addition to our morning routines!  It smells amazing.

Kat drinks her coffee on her way to work every morning so I always make sure I have her travel cup waiting for her to grab.  I did not tell her we were trying something new, but she noticed it!  She called me from work to ask me about the coffee.  She loved the taste.  She really enjoys a rich flavor and she adored this coffee.  According to Kat, this is her new favorite!  She has had this coffee every day since we first tried it!

This is a wonderfully tasty medium roast coffee.  It has a mild, smooth flavor that my family really enjoys.  Smooth Caffeinator from Java Factory is not too weak and not too strong.  It is the perfect balance for coffee drinkers who enjoy a bold yet smooth coffee!

 nCrave Swago is BACK!

What I love about Swagbucks is they offer tons of easy ways to earn SB, which are points that can be redeemed for free gift cards! SWAGO is their version of Bingo, and is a fun way to earn easy SB by completing tasks on their site. 

nCrave Swago is just like regular Swago except all of the squares are nCrave activities to complete. Like regular Swago, complete as many nCrave Swago squares as you can to get the biggest SB Bonus possible. You’ll get a new nCrave Swago Board each day so come back each day to complete your nCrave Swago Board and claim your SB Bonus.

You’ll want to read the following because nCrave Swago will work slightly different than regular Swago.

• Starting Wednesday, September 28th at 12:00am PDT/3:00am EDT through Friday, September 30th at 11:59pm PDT/Saturday 2:59am EDT head to your nCrave Swago Board and hit “Join”.
• Each square on your nCrave Swago Board will contain an nCrave activity to complete.
• Once you complete the nCrave activity in a particular square the square will change color signifying the nCrave activity is complete.
• Be mindful of the patterns and their corresponding bonuses located on the right of your nCrave Swago Board. The patterns will vary in difficulty and SB Bonus value.
• Once you’ve achieved a pattern the corresponding “Submit” button will light up. You can have multiple patterns available for submission, however, you can only submit ONE pattern each day so choose wisely.
• Each day you will have a NEW nCrave Swago Board which will appear at 12:01am PDT/3:00am EDT. This means that you must submit your nCrave Swago Board before 12:00am PDT/3:00am EDT each day to claim your SB Bonus. Yes, that means you will be able to submit your nCrave Swago Board 3 times, once each day.
• The game ends Friday, September 30th at 11:59pm PDT/Saturday 2:59am EDT so make sure to come back to your nCrave Swago Board EACH DAY to complete nCrave activities and claim your SB Bonus.

But what’s the SB Bonus structure?

• Any Row: 5 SB
• Any Column: 5 SB
• Diagonal: 5 SB
• X: 20 SB
• Plus: 20 SB
• Perimeter: 30 SB
• Full Board: 50 SB

Think about it, you have the ability to earn 150 SB in SB Bonuses during nCrave Swago! That’s a 50 SB Bonus everyday for 3 days without even counting the SB you’ll be earning for completing nCrave activities!

Brooklyn Bean Roastery Corner Donut Shop Coffee Review & #Giveaway! Ends 10/01 #ad

Disclosure: Free product was received to facilitate our honest review. Sponsor is responsible for prize fulfillment.

Coffee has been a part of my life since I was about three years old.  My grandma would give me "soaky bread" when I would sit in her lap after breakfast.  Never heard of soaky bread?  It is simply a biscuit broken up and put in coffee.  Grandma would give me the rest of her cup of coffee this way.  (My mom still has this whenever she has biscuits.)  This incident started a love of coffee that is still going strong.

My daughter and I have a cup of coffee together every morning before she goes to work.  It is a time that we can just sit with each other and enjoy talking and laughing.  I look forward to this every day!  Having my k-cup machine means no waste because I can always make what I want.  Kat and I enjoy flavorful coffees and were thrilled when we had the opportunity to try Brooklyn Bean Roastery Corner Donut Shop Coffee.

Brooklyn Bean Roastery Corner Donut Shop Coffee is a medium roast coffee that is full of flavor.  All of the Corner Donut Shop coffee is 100% Arabica beans. It is not too strong and it is not the least bit bitter.  This coffee is delicious any time of the day and it does pair well with a doughnut!!
