Drama-free Wine & Cocktail Glasses by TaZa

*Drama-free Wine & Cocktail Glasses by TaZa

Ever since I was first introduced to the TaZa Drama-free Wine & Cocktail Glasses I have been hooked!  Now, TaZa has come out with a new and improved version of the shatterproof glasses that I already loved.  The new glasses seem to replicate the look of glass a little better, if you just looked at them you wouldn't realize they are plastic, it's pretty impressive and they have added a few other cosmetic details but other than that they are still the awesome drama-free Wine & Cocktail Glasses that I love.  They are very durable, dishwasher safe and made with BPA free crystal clear TRITAN plastic, they are perfect for every occasion!

Eco Friendly BPA Free Sports Water Bottle by Mindbody Active

*Eco Friendly BPA Free Sports Water Bottle by Mindbody Active

I think this Eco Friendly BPA Free Sports Water Bottle by Mindbody Active is such a cool idea!  I love that I can just throw it in my gym bag or purse, it's lightweight and doesn't take up a bunch of room.  It's also free of those bad chemicals like BPA and Phthalate.  Plus, it's eco-friendly, recyclable, leak free, dishwasher safe, microwave safe and even freezer safe!  I am really big on drinking a ton of water but I like my water ice cold so this water bottle is perfect to fill up, throw in the freezer before I go to bed and then grab it on my way out the door in the morning.

I have also tried to cut back on the amount of bottled water I buy so these Eco Friendly BPA Free Sports Water Bottles by Mindbody Active are a great alternative.  My other more sinister use for these compact, leak free water bottles is to use them for an upcoming vacation.  We are going to be taking a cruise in September and if any of you have ever been on a cruise before then you know that they do not allow you to bring any alcohol aboard (with the exception of 1 bottle of wine).  So, my plan is use these water bottles to smuggle (yes, I said smuggle) alcohol on board.  I heard the scanners can't detect the plastic the way the can glass bottles.  So that's my sinister plan, cross your fingers for me! Lol :)

Go to Amazon.com to purchase or for more detailed information on the Eco Friendly BPA Free Sports Water Bottle by Mindbody Active.

Classic Wine Chiller by The Keystone Organisation

*Classic Wine Chiller by The Keystone Organisation

I think these things are one of the best inventions ever!  If your into wine in any sort of capacity then you simply must get yourself one of these.  

The Classic Wine Chiller will keep your bottle of wine at the prefect drinking temperature and the wine aerator to will enable it to breathe for a better taste so you to pour a perfect glass of aerated wine!  Now that is something every wine connoisseur can appreciate!

The Classic Wine Chiller Rod is crafted from high-quality, FDA approved 304 stainless steel, which happens to be the same stainless steel winemakers use in wine storage, wine fermentation, and wine blending equipment!  How cool is that?  The Wine Chiller Rod also fits any standard wine bottle and will keep it chilled for up to an hour.  I have used it on various wine bottles and I have not had any issues with the fit.  If you are serving a red wine that doesn't need to be chilled you still use the wine aerator, pourer, and stopper!

If you know any wine lovers this is the prefect gift idea!!  For more information or to purchase go to Amazon.com.

Midori Spring Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea by Life & Food

*Midori Spring Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea by Life & Food

If you already follow my blog then you know how much I love Matcha Green Tea!  However, if your new to GlamRiver then I have to tell you..."I love Matcha Green Tea!".  

If you are not familiar with Matcha Green Tea there is a difference between regular Green Tea and Matcha Green Tea.  The plants for Matcha Green Tea are shade grown for about 3 weeks before harvest, and the stems and veins are removed in processing.  The shaded growth produces more theanine and chlorophyll.  That's why Matcha is more effective for improving mental focus with its higher theanine content and looks a lot more green with more chlorophyll and tastes softer without stems and veins.

This Midori Spring Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea by Life & Food is a ceremonial grade green tea which is used for brewing the finest most flavorful Matcha Green Tea.  Because it's a premium grade tea it's not intended for cooking, the quality is so high that it is primarily reserved for tea ceremonies for it's full flavor, and health benefits.  Some of those benefits include: increased energy without the jitters, reduced stress and improved mental alertness, improved metabolism and help with weight loss, boosts immune system and reduces inflammation and helps cleanse the body of harmful elements.

Matcha Green Tea is a staple in my everyday life.  If it doesn't make it into my morning smoothie then I usually have a cup of straight Matcha Green Tea mid-morning to help get me through the day!  Love the stuff!  Go to lifefoodpro.com for more information or to purchase their Midori Spring Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea or you can also purchase it on Amazon.com.  I am also a huge fan of their vitamins and supplements which are really great quality so make sure you check those out as well!

Forever Fused Infusion Water Bottle by Live Infinitely

Fortunately where I live we have some really fantastic tasting water and I love it.  I drink tons (ok, maybe not tons but a lot!) of water on a daily basis and even though it tastes really good all by itself I was happy to change it up a bit with this Forever Fused Infusion Water Bottle by Live Infinitely!

This water bottle contains a infusion basket that you can put fruit, veggies or even tea in to create your own flavor of infused water and it only takes about 10 min for the water to become infused with the flavor of your choice.  My favorite infused water flavor is cucumber mint, it's so delish and super refreshing!

This Forever Fused Infusion Water Bottle by Live Infinitely is made with great quality Eastman Tritan Copolyester, which is eco-friendly, BPA free, dishwasher safe and leak proof!  I have ran mine through the dishwasher several times and it still looks like new.  I also like that it comes in a wide range of colors to choose from.

Here are a few flavor combos that Live Infinitely suggests:

Green tea+Mint+Lime: Fat burning, digestion, relieves headaches, congestion and freshens breath.

Strawberry+Kiwi: Immune system protection, blood sugar regulation, cardiovascular health and digestion.

Cucumber+Lime+Lemon: Water weight management, appetite control, relieves bloating, hydration, and digestion.

Lemon+Lime+Orange: Digestion, immune defense, vitamin C, relieves heartburn, (when consumed at room temperature).

Silicone Beverage Glasses by Ramini Brands-Review

*Silicone Beverage Glasses by Ramini Brands

Why did it take so long for someone to come out with these?  These have got to be one of the best inventions...maybe ever!  Not only are these Silicone Beverage Glasses perfect for home use, especially when you have a house full of guests and want to avoid a broken glass incident, but these are really perfect for camping and BBQ's!  I haven't had a chance to go camping yet and it's been a little too cold still to host a BBQ so I am anxiously awaiting being able to do either one and show off these cool glasses.  We also float the river a lot where I live and I think it would be fun to take them river floating too.  Ohh the possibilities!
The Silicone Beverage Glasses are stain-resistant, dishwasher safe and are BPA free!  At 11 oz. it's also the perfect size to hold my favorite cocktail.  Don't you think these would also make a really cool gift idea?  That's what I'm thinking!

You can get these on Amazon.com right now, perfect timing for that spring BBQ or camping trip!

Organic Dandelion Root Tea by KissMe Organics-Review

*Organic Dandelion Root Tea

I love my tea!  I drink just about every kind of tea and I love to try new tea's whenever I get the chance.   KissMe Organics is brand I have come to know and trust so I jumped at the chance to try out their new Organic Dandelion Root Tea!  I have been hearing a lot about Dandelion Root lately so I wanted to find out what some of the benefits were and what I found was that it helps support Kidney health & Liver function, aids digestion, it's rich in Vitamins A, C, D and B-complex plus Iron, Potassium and Zinc, helps reduce inflammation and even helps boosts the immune system...among other things!  Who knew it could do so much!
The Organic Dandelion Root Tea has a really yummy cinnamon smell and smooth taste to it.  It also contains Organic Hibiscus which is good for regulating blood pressure and you can also smell a hint of that as well.  It actually has a smell and taste similar to another Detox tea that I like so I am happy that I now have 2 go-to Detox teas!

The other really great thing about this tea is not only is it Organic but it is also Non-GMO and Vegan!  I also recommend the Organic Matcha by KissMe Organics.  You can pick up some Organic Dandelion Root Tea on Amazon.com...

Bitpsy Professional Jumbo Lemon Squeezer-Review

*Bitpsy Professional Jumbo Lemon Squeezer

I'll admit it as much as I like to make cocktails I've never used any kind of juicer/squeezer.  I usually just squeeze my Lemons and Limes by hand and thought that worked just fine.  Boy was I wrong!  After using this Professional Jumbo Lemon/Lime Squeezer by Bitpsy I now know what I have been missing out on.  

I recently used the Squeezer to make my Moscow Mules that I feature in a previous blog post and I was totally amazed at how well it worked.  I used fairly large limes and they fit perfectly in the Squeezer and I was able to get what seemed like every last drop of juice out of the lime!

The Bitpsy Professional Jumbo Lemon Squeezer is great quality and made from Stainless Steel so it won't rust or peel.  It's also super easy to clean, I just rinsed it off and threw it in my dishwasher!

I love this thing and cannot recommend it enough!

Go to Amazon.com for more information or to purchase one for yourself!  I also think it would make a great gift idea for any cocktail enthusiast!!

Moscow Mule Copper Mug by Kitchen Concepts-Review

*Moscow Mule Copper Mug by Kitchen Concepts

I consider myself somewhat of a cocktail connoisseur, however, it was until last September on a trip to beautiful Santa Barbara, CA that I ever even heard of a Moscow Mule.  It was nice to know I was not alone since it seemed like no one else had heard of one either!  

According to Wikipedia, the cocktail was invented in 1941 by John G. Martin of G.F. Heublein Brothers, Inc., an East Cost spirits and food distributor, and "Jack" Morgan, President of Cock 'n' Bull Products (which produced ginger beer) and proprietor of the Cock 'n' Bull restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles popular with celebrities.  Needless to say I think the Moscow Mule is starting to make a comeback and thank goodness cuz they are delish!

To make the perfect Moscow Mule you absolutely MUST HAVE a Copper Mug.  Trust me, I have tried a regular glass and it is NOT the same.  I was sent this Copper Mug by Kitchen Concepts to test out and not only is it affordable (they can be rather costly!) it worked perfect!!  I also recommend the original Cock'n Bull Ginger Beer and of course fresh squeezed lime juice is a necessity as well.

There are several variations to the Moscow Mule such as using Tequila instead of Vodka and adding Simple Syrup but I think it's best with just the Vodka, Ginger Beer and Lime Juice.  Cool & refreshing, the Moscow Mule is going to be my cocktail of choice this summer!
