Have fun entering our 12 Days of Christmas giveaways and be on the lookout for the UGLee Pen giveaway to start on Friday December 13... (whoa, Friday the 13th hmm... no bad ju ju! ha ha)

The Ergonomic Pen!

Show of hands, how many of you use a pen on a daily basis? If you're hand is not up then you my friend need to stay off the computer! (Okay don't because then you couldn't read our reviews and well... we'd miss you greatly!)  Seriously though I didn't think I used a pen a lot during the day especially as a SAHM (stay-at-home mom)  but I do!! Those lovely things called bills that require the ancient form of payment known as the check, making the grocery list, these all found me reaching for a pen! 

I was very happy to be able to review this ergonomic pen for you all, but for my family to test drive it too!

I won't keep you waiting any longer...

The UGLee Pen retails for $19.99 for a 3pk on their website and comes in a variety of colors! (Clicking website will take you to their online store to order!) Plus it has refillable 1.4mm ink too (yay for being reusable)!

Alright, now do NOT take its name and twist it.  It is the UGLee Pen not an ugly pen!  This is another do not judge a book by its cover nor its title review! 

The UGLee Pen was created by Dr. James Lee while he was in Medical School after trying to find a pen that wouldn't fatigue his hand while writing! 

This is an ergonomic pen that is so light weight (seriously it weighs less than 1/2 an OUNCE) you probably will forget you're holding it! It is probably the most light weight pen I've held.  

The first thing I noticed when I opened the package is this pens grip! It is very squishy and feels 'sticky' as in its not going to slip off your fingers while you're holding it! 

It has fingertip grooves for STRESS FREE writing!  We all remember in school (before the age of computers running the world) having to write 5+ page papers right? Remember how your finger would start to hurt from holding the pen, well I doubt that issue would arise with this particular pen!  

I teach my Goofy Goobers at home and the oldest is learning to write words and perfect her penmanship so I gave her this pen to try out too!  She had been having problems with other pens slipping (she has the yucky sweaty hand thing many kids have going on!) so she was very happy to be given a special pen to use! I am happy to report that when she used this pen her words were a bit more legible and she had no problems holding this pen CORRECTLY! 

I found this pen to write fairly smooth while I was using it too! 

On a scale of 1-10 (1 being do NOT buy and 10 being RUN and buy) I give the UGLee Pen a 9.

Pros:  Its an ergonomic pen! My husband has wrist pains from work and has since switched over to ergonomically correct devices on his desk, he was happy to include this pen too! I like that the pen does have a grip that does seem to grip you while you write, it gets a bonus point on this for my Goober being able to use this too! REFILLABLE need I say more on that aspect?! We all have had that 1 pen we LOVE only to find its a one time deal and you have to toss it when you're done!

Cons:  I found one of the pens would skip on occasion, it is NOT the fault of the pen, it could very well just be the ink or the surface I was writing on, since it was only just the one pen that had this issue.

_________________________________________________________________

So my final thoughts on this pen are simple.  Its a nice pen! The UGLee Pen has a nice grip the easily fits multiple sized hands with no problems, your hand doesn't move around while your writing with it.  My Goofy Goober especially liked that the grip has sparkles in it!  I honestly have nothing bad to say about it! 

*PLEASE NOTE: While I received these pens FREE for review, the opinions on this pen are ENTIRELY mine and not influenced in any way by anyone!*

Day 8

Good evening Three Little Goofy Goober fans!! I am posting the giveaway for day 8 tonight... It doesn't start until tomorrow morning, but weekend mornings are busy around here, and my Goofy Goobers have all been sick so nights are rough! Day 8 is COOKING/BAKING!  

Bake some cookies for us too okay! (: 

YES bigger IS always better!

I was recently given the pleasure of reviewing ANOTHER Love with Food box!! This time they sent the Deluxe box! (Oh be still my heart!) I am a total foodie! I admit it, I LOVE to snack all day, yes all day I am a total grazer... some people eat regular meals while I find myself continuously eating! So now you know a bit more about why I like finding these new snack options! Healthy snacks vs junk food will win over in this house especially if they taste like the junk food!  I won't keep you waiting anymore!

Love with Food Deluxe Box: Monthly $19.95, 6 months $108 ($18 a month) 1 year $204 ($17 a month)
Love with Food helps you discover new all-natural or organic snacks that you'll love! Each month they will send you a curated box of unique, hard-to-find, snacks right to your front door!

BONUS for every box you get in the mail, you are also donating a meal to food banks like Feeding America Network or Share Our Strength - No Kid Hungry! So you're helping to end childhood hunger!

How pretty was this red box under our Christmas tree?! I mean seriously getting this box was like Christmas!

(okay, this may just be me, but I LOVE their red box!)

Inside the Flavors of Fall box!

Everything inside (ready to drool?!)

Here is a break down of what this box included!

Tuxedo Popcorn from Kukuruza (caramel popcorn drizzled with chocolate!)

Green & Black's Organic Dark 70% Chocolates (see photo below!)

Maple Fudge from Laura Secord

Ginger Twist Tea from Mighty Leaf

Almond, Apricot, and Yogurt Bar from Eat Natural

Rosemary and Pink Sea Salt Shortbread Cookies from Dancing Bear Baking Co.

Sweet Corn Crunch from Sensible Foods

Authentic Indian spice blend from Arora Creations

Sweet Potato popchips from popchips

And of course coupons and discount codes! 

Without hesitation we dove right into this box! Everything looked so good we weren't quite sure what to eat first! (Don't you hate when that happens!) I'll start with the popchips because they were by far my favorite!  I was a popchip virgin (gasp, I know!) but after trying these Sweet Potato popchips from this box I will be a forever fan of them! So good! Seriously, if you haven't tried them you are missing out!

All the snacks in this box were quite yummy!  The Sweet Corn Crunch from Sensible Foods was interesting! I was expecting it to be crunchy like a corn nut type deal, however they are NOT anything like those! Again, very yummy!  

Do you like dark chocolate? These Green & Black's Organic Dark Chocolates are just for you then!

I love all things chocolate, however these were some seriously DARK chocolate candies! Which is fine! I mean they're organic dark chocolate! My husband loved them, while I found them bitter, but dark chocolate can be that way! Nothing to do with the brand, just the nature of dark chocolate!

So all in all this Deluxe Love with Food box was really nice!  The value to quality was spot on in my opinion.

On a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being do NOT buy and 10 being RUN and buy) I'd give this sub box an 8.5

I do feel this box IS better than their Tasting box because you get more!! (however, nothing is wrong with the Tasting box!) There are a bunch of health food snack box options out there now.  They all have good and bad about them, I DON'T see anything horrible to report on this company! (Yay right!!)  Having seen both their box options now I can objectively say they don't disappoint! 

* PLEASE NOTE: While I was given this box for free to review, the opinions in my review are mine alone and I was not paid to give a positive review!*
