Nescafé w/ Coffee-mate Review

Hello!  Finally had a chance to try the Nescafé w/ Coffee-mate.  In fact, thanks to Smiley360, I had a chance to try all 3 flavors.  It comes in French Vanilla, Hazelnut and Sweet & Creamy Original. 

The Sweet & Creamy Original kind of reminded me of the original Maxwell House International Cafe.  I do feel that the Necafé w/ Coffee-mate Sweet & Creamy Original is a better deal since instead of 4-9ounces, you get 12 ounces for pretty much the same deal.  You definitely should try it out if you like the Maxwell House International Cafe. 

he French Vanilla was nice and mellow.  The vanilla flavoring was perfect, not too overpowering at all.

My favorite though has to be the Hazelnut.  The hazelnut flavoring was just right.  Goldilocks would definitely approve...lol  It was as if I was having a regular coffee with hazelnut creamer.  It was perfect! 

Seriously though, all 3 flavors are great.  It really depends on what you like.  No matter what you decide, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

To make it, all you need is hot water and 2 tbsp. of your preferred kind.  Easy, right?  The measurements are for a 6-8 oz mug.  My mug was a little bigger so I added an extra tbsp. and it was awesome. I also added a bit of half & half to it to cool it down a bit.  You definitely don't have to add any milk since it's already added but it doesn't take away from the flavor.  It just cools it down.

If you already had the chance to try it, what flavor was your favorite?

All opinions are my own.  I received these products for free from Smiley360 for testing and review purposes.

How to make a portable sew kit

Here's what you'll need: tape, box cutter, thread, old floss box, needle and a pair of scissors.

Open the floss box.

Take out the white cylinder that was holding the floss.

Using a box cutter, cut a notch into the top of the cylinder to hold the thread.  If you aren't comfortable using the box cutter, you can just use a piece of tape and tape the end of the thread to the cylinder.

Put the thread into the notch and put the thread around the cylinder.  Put as much or as little as you want.

Put the threaded cylinder back onto its post and take the end of the thread and put it under the cutter on top of the box.

Take a piece of tape and tape the needle to the back of the box.

Close it all up and voila!  A mini portable sew kit.

Feel free to label it so you don't accidentally floss your teeth with thread.  :)

Update!!

It's been so long.  That should seriously be the name of this blog.  "It's been so long"  lol

I changed some things out.  Time for a fresh start.

I was going under an alias but I'm done w/ that.  I don't post any bad things so why hide?  I don't think I have anyways.  Sorry people I know if I have.  You know I love you!  ♥

I changed my url to more fit me.  My old url was just something cute & whimsical but almost all my accounts have the same name so I thought my blog should too.  And, instead of starting a whole new blog, I'd just revamp this one since I've had it since 2005.  Wow!  Has it really been almost 10 years?

I just feel like I can be myself more now and share things that I couldn't before.  You actually don't have much freedom when you are under an alias.  Maybe you do but for me, it was holding me back.

So, welcome to the new "A Gal & Her Blog"!
