The Bouqs Co. Review

*Disclosure of material connection- I received a free bouquet in exchange for my honest thoughts. I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions stated are 100% my own. 

I know many of you don't know me on a personal level, but if you did, you would know that I love receiving flowers. There is just something that makes me feel like my home is more welcoming with a nice bouquet on the table. My husband buys me flowers all of the time throughout the year just because he knows they make me smile and make our home seem more cheery. I also love to send flowers to other people, but that can get tricky with all of the hidden costs. Your bouquet may say it is $30, but then there will be hidden fees, taxes, shipping costs, not to mention usually the lower end bouquets often do not contain enough flowers to make the arrangement look as fluffy and beautiful I was like. The last bouquet I sent to a friend set me back about $70.

The Bouqs Company is here to change all of that. It seems they love flowers as much as I do and want everyone to be able to afford to send them and to make it an easy process filled with so many options to fit every person's personal tastes. The Bouqs has flat rates on their bouquets with no hidden charges. Shipping is even included in that fee!

I was sent a Bouq of my very own to review. I knew I wanted a bouquet that was orange because I was still in a fall kind of mood when I was picking out which one I wanted. I choose to get the original lilies because I knew that I would be busy this time of year and lilies are a very resilient and easy to keep flower, even if you forget to care for them every now and then. They arrived on my doorstep via FedEx and the delivery man said "oooh, this is from Ecuador" and I thought yup, that IS pretty cool. I love that these bouquets come from sustainable farms! Anyway, I brought the package in and opened it. I was very pleased to find that the bouquet was wrapped up nicely in brown paper and secured to the box so that they would make their long trip without becoming damaged. Once I took the lilies out of the box, almost all were still closed bulbs, but just hours after I put them in the vase they began to bloom. It has been about a week since I have had the lilies sitting on my dining room table. I have changed the water and cut the stems twice and almost all of the bulbs have bloomed and look gorgeous on my kitchen table!

I am very impressed with The Bouqs Co. They make ordering flowers easy by offering a few different ways to pick out your bouquets. I like that the selection of flowers has something to suite everyone's taste or for people like me who just love flowers in general, there are many different options to change things up a bit from time to time. You can search by occasion or by color and you can send one bouquet or you can choose to set an auto delivery to that someone special you want to shower with flowers. I can't wait until an occasion arises that I need or want to send a floral arrangement. I 100% know where I will be sending them from!

Pure Madness Chocolate Review

I have been a Bzzagent for around 3 years now. If you haven't heard of Bzzagent, you are missing out. They send you FREE full size products in exchange for your opinion. I have been a part of some very cool campaigns and have fell in love with countless products that I have got to try, but nothing can get me quite as excited as high quality chocolate! When the Pure Madness Campaign was announced I crossed my fingers (and toes) that I would get to try it and was so thrilled when I saw the invite to participate in this campaign! I couldn't wait for my chocolate to arrive!

*Disclosure- I received free products that are mentioned in this blog post. I was not required to write a review and all opinions stated are 100% my own.

When my Bzzkit containing the True Madness Truffles and Smoked Almond Chocolate bar arrived, I had to contain myself and wait for my entire family to be home so everyone could give it a try. I did take a peak in the box and The truffles looked so decadent and pretty. I read the description of the different types of chocolates included. There were your run of the mill milk and dark chocolate and hazelnut and then there were several innovative flavors like rum raisin and chili lime. I thought about which ones I HAD to try and when the whole family was together we opened the box and shared them. They only lasted a few short minutes. My kids got the more traditional flavors to try, my husband had the espresso truffle and we shared the chili lime. It was an interesting confection, unlike any I had tasted before. When you first bite into it, you can taste the fruitiness of the lime, but the chili part does not kick in until after you swallow it. It was a neat and welcome aftertaste! I really enjoyed the rum raisin, that was probably my favorite that I got to try. For the smoky almond milk chocolate bar, we all had a little section of it so we could all give it a taste. It is not your typical almond chocolate bar. The smoked almonds add an entire new depth to the taste of the bar. I loved it. I let it melt in my mouth just so it would last longer!

The Pure Madness chocolate come packaged in gorgeous hot pink and black boxes. This chocolate is made by chocolate lovers for chocolate lovers. I think any chocolate lover would appreciate these chocolates! I definitely plan to buy some truffles as a gift for my chocolate loving in laws for the next gift giving occasion! These chocolates are presented beautifully and would make wonderful gifts!
