Staying Refreshed This Summer With Brew Over Ice + GIVEAWAY! #LoveBrewOverIce

There are many things in this world that I can’t live without, iced coffee being high on that priority list. It may sound ridiculous but if you have children I am sure you understand without any further explanation! I was never a huge coffee drinker before I had my daughter but four years later, it feels like it’s automatically running through my veins. If I could shrink and attach my Keurig system to my key chain, I would in a heartbeat.  I can’t function without my iced coffee or tea in the morning. With Brew Over Ice I don’t have to! Brew Over Ice gives you the opportunity to brew your drink hot and drink them cold. There are many delicious flavors and types of beverages available for the Keurig system. They were even kind enough to send me a few samples to try, and I couldn’t wait to get my brew on! Addicted is an understatement.

Brew Over Ice K-Cups are available in several varieties from coffee blends to fresh iced tea. The three samples I was provided with included a little taste from each category. While I was familiar with the Sweet & Creamy Iced Coffee, I had never tried the Snapple Peach Iced Tea or Vitamin Burst Strawberry Pomegranate flavors. Truthfully, I wasn’t even aware that there were K-Cups available in anything BUT coffee! I was pleasantly surprised because I do love iced coffee but on those hot Summer days I tend to crave a cold lemonade or tea to fight the heat. The Sweet & Creamy Iced Coffee cups are one of my absolute favorite. I discovered them at my local grocery store a few months back and have been enjoying them ever since. I don’t leave the house without my ice coffee in hand and this flavor satisfies my sweet tooth before the day even begins. It doesn’t even need whip cream! It’s creamy, sweet, and cold. Triple threat? I think so!


I was anxious to try the Vitamin Burst cup in Strawberry Pomegranate. I expected this to be more on the juice side given it is a “fruit brew” and completely opposite from what I am used to making with my Keurig. It’s naturally sweet and high in Vitamin C. All I needed was my Brew Over Ice Tumbler filled to the top with ice cubes. Popped the K-Cup in and then I let the magic begin. I could smell the aroma of the fruity mixture immediately! It was a nice change compared to the typical strong scent of coffee beans that lingers through the kitchen in the morning.

If your new to drinking any type of Brew Over Ice beverage, remember to always fill your cup to the very top with ice! It tends to melt really fast. I learned this the hard way when I was a Keurig “newbie.” A lot of spills, watered down creations, and potent concoctions came from the first few months of becoming a Keurig owner. Proud to say I am now a pro-brewer, or so I like to think!

Brew Over Ice Cups are the perfect way to cool down, refresh, and relax during the Summer time in addition to all year round’. They have a ton of flavors and varieties to stimulate your taste buds any hour of the day. Not in the mood for coffee? Have a cold iced tea! Maybe a sweet lemonade? How about an iced tea lemonade- YUM! Regardless of your pick, these K-Cups are convenient in the kitchen and on the go. Since they are packaged individually, you can carry them in your purse or lunch bag. You never know when there will be a Keurig machine around!

Keurig is also hosting the “Brew Over Ice Sweepstakes” on their website until September 3rd. You can play every day for your chance to win instant daily prizes and the Grand Prize of $10,000! Some of the prizes include a Brew Over Ice Variety K-Cup Sampler Pack or Brew Over Iced tumblers.

HOT Summer Trends At The Children’s PLACE! #PLACESummer

Summer FUN has just begun! The previous school year will be ending shortly and a new season will be upon us. It’s time for splashing in the pool, walking sandy beaches, long days full of sunshine, ice cold popsicles, and breaking out the flip flop collection! I love this time of year because it brings about so many activities and sweet fashions for children. With the help of The Children’s PLACE I had the opportunity to extend Toodie’s wardrobe and add in a pop of color for the Summer. 

I was so happy to see new sparkly jelly sandals and flip flops in Toodie’s size. Every time I purchase shoes at The Children’s PLACE, they last forever and really hold up for quite some time. They also had so many bright colors that would match with every clothing item in the store. I picked out the clear pair with the chunky glitter because I knew they could be worn with anything and everything I purchased. One piece and two piece swimsuits are back. All the swimsuits are lined with rash guards and UPF 50 protection to make swim time worry free and comfortable for boys and girls. There are tons of frill, beachy patterns, and foil prints to give each suit personality.

This was also prime time to stock up on some of their graphic shirts and solid shorts. They were on sale for $5! Whether you prefer flowers or flourescent halter tops, you can once again mix and match for variety. For toddlers there were also flowy dresses and sassy rompers. Loving the funky Summer styles. They really hit the nail on the head when it comes to what’s “HOT.“ Living in South Florida can be extremely warm these next few months so I appreciate the light loose material for all ages. 

Within the little girl‘s section I came across an assortment of embellished tops and layered skirts. Many of them were bright colored and could be mix and matched with one another to create different outfits. I love the length on the skirts because if your daughter is tall like mine, the longer the better. You don’t have to worry about these shrinking up or losing inches after a few washes. Most skirts I found within the store also had shorts built in. This “fresh” collection features mixed patterns, designs, and frills. These duos are perfect for days of play in the sunshine.
 

For the boys, big and small, you can find sporty graphic t-shirts paired with bright colored board shorts lined with mesh. They also have stylish long sleeve polos available in solids and vibrant stripes. Let’s not forget the footwear this time around. I spotted cute patterned flip flops that will be perfect for the beach or a day at the pool.
 

The Children’s PLACE offers really great sales and deals in store and online on a weekly basis. But did you know that you can use a coupon in addition to their current promotion? By joining their email list you will receive frequent emails containing coupons and updates. You can also get on the mailing list to get them sent to your home. Either way, print them out and save even more money on clothing for your little one! I was able to get everything below for less than $100. This includes clothing, shoes, and accessories to prepare for the Summer time! I STILL can’t get over how adorable the floral jean shorts and matching tops are. They are definitely my favorite finds from this season’s shopping trip.
