Review: Smiley Cookies


I can make a pretty darn good tasting cookie, but I'm not so great on the aesthetics. Just keeping it real, y'all. So I jumped at the chance to get a dozen of these heart cookies from SmileyCookie.com because I wanted some cookies that both tasted great AND looked pretty.

Mission accomplished.

Here's the box that arrived in the mail (this one was wrapped in an actual packaging box):


 Isn't that just the cutest thing right there? I was also impressed with how well packaged the cookies were inside the box. They really have to be, you know, since they are shipping them all over the place. Here are the cookies all wrapped up:


 Now you can see what they look like still in the plastic box, but unwrapped:


And finally, here's what they look like out of the box:


 Aren't they cute? And they did taste great too. I actually then rewrapped these individually and put them in take-home containers for my daughter's birthday party last Monday. It was a hit all the way around.

So if you are needing to kick it up a notch this Valentine's Day, these heart shaped cookies could very well be just the ticket for you.

The cookies start at $12.99/dozen and there is a $6.99 ground shipping charge on the entire order, so think multiples and freeze for later!

Me & Goji Custom Cereal

Custom WHAT? That's what I thought when I first heard about Me & Goji. I mean, who needs designer cereal?

But then they offered me the chance to try it out for myself. I'm going to tell you something - I like to review things for the benefit it provides my family but not everything I review is something I end up absolutely LOVING. The cereal I put together from Me & Goji? I absolutely loved it. Really truly. And so did my family. I have proof. Before I could even snap a photo of what our custom mix looked like, look what happened to the can of cereal I created:

Oh. My. Can you believe that? We are a big cereal eating family anyway, but nothing has ever gone that fast in this house. You will have to take my word for it - it was beautiful AND yummy. And the packaging is super awesome too. I took a photo of the can next to a large pitcher to provide a sense of scale:
And there you have it - a crazy big can of custom made cereal that the Dunham family demolished in less than 2 days.

They have several options for making your own mix - you can totally go it alone or you can go with one of their already pulled together recipe suggestions. Either way, you can't go wrong here. It is on the pricey side, as to be expected with a designer cereal that has to be shipped, so it's not something we will be able to indulge in again, but if you needed a really unique gift for someone, this would be just the ticket. They also have a cereal of the month club starting at $25/month that might be worth checking out.

Anyway, Me & Goji - custom made cereal that is seriously awesome. Now you know.
