PupJoy Subscription Box! Review!

The review I have for you all today is called Pupjoy which is a subscription service. This is a little different from the subscription services I have reviewed for you all before. This is one just for your dogs! The thing I really like about this subscription is that is personalized just for your  dog. Before you subscribe to this box you are given a few simple questions about your dog, such as age, size, allergies, and types of toys they would enjoy. I love the fact that they do this just because you know you will be getting stuff that your dog will love! These boxes are completely customizable and you can select which size box is best for you and your dog, they range in price from $23-$44.
 
 
This is what I see as soon as I open up this box. As you can see there are a ton of goodies inside this box. I'm excited to see what is inside so is Baby! (my dog) she is sitting by my side as well lol.

 
The first thing inside is a stuffed animal toy that's an adorable penguin! The fabric used to make this toy is really soft and feels very strong as well which is important because most dogs chew up their toys all the time lol. This is a pretty good sized toy and I think Baby is going to like it as well.

 
Yep, I'd say this toy was a hit with her lol. I think she really like this considering I just squeaked it a few times and she stole it out of my hand.

 
The next thing that in my box is another toy. This is the same type of toy just a little different. The fabric on this one is a little different too. This toy has softer fur. It also has another squeaker inside which is always a hit with my dog. She only likes toys with squeakers so I'm sure she's going to love this one as well.

 
Up next we have Bo's Bones which is gourmet organic dog biscuits. This will be something different for my pup considering we never really give her organic food. I do have to say I am impressed with how many treats are inside this package. This is a pretty big bag of treats it's going to last her quite some time...maybe lol. The bag is also re-sealable too which is great! At the bottom of this bag of treats it says "Lovin Hearts" I'm not 100% sure what that means I'm assuming it has to do with the flavor of the treats though.
 

 
The next thing waiting inside of this box is some more treats! These are by the brand Be Pawsitive, which is an adorable brand name I must say lol. These are just the simple oven baked dog biscuits. These are the kind my dog are the most familiar with. I know for a fact that shes going to love these ones too! This bag is huge as well! This bag of treats is bigger then the first kind. My dog is going to get so fat.... lol just kidding! She's going to be so happy with all these treats!
 
 
 
The last thing hiding in this box is a little bag the says Billy Wolf on it. I'm curious to see what's inside so lets take a little closer look.
 
 
Awesome! A real bone! I have always wanted to give my dog one of these to see if she would enjoy it and now I have one for her, which is super exciting.

 
I literally couldn't set this down without Baby coming up and taking this away. Lol as you can see this was a hit with her. I think this such a good thing for dogs and it really does keep them busy they can chew on these for hours and be entertained by it. I think this would be perfect to give your dog if they get anxious when you leave the house, you could simply give this to them right before you head out the door and then they have something to keep them busy they wont even notice your gone :)

 
I do have to thank pupjoy for sending me one of their boxes for Baby. She really enjoyed this box. Baby has been in a little bit of a funk the last few days sense her brother recently passed away. They were inseparable. I can honestly say this box perked her up, which made me so happy. These boxes are truly wonderful. They will make your dog so happy which is honestly such a great feeling. I highly suggest checking these boxes out for yourself and getting one for your dog. I promise you, you wont regret it!

Custom Cookies By Gigi Holiday Gift Guide Review!


 
 
Today on my blog I have something that I have never had the chance to review yet, so this is pretty exciting for me! I have some delicious treats from a shop by the name of
She sent me some amazing goodies to try out and I am so beyond grateful and excited to share my review on each one with you!


How I am going to go on with this review, is I am going to go through each different treats and share my reviews on each of them. Up first we have three chocolate covered pretzel rods! She decorated these for the Fall/Thanksgiving time and they are adorable. These are your basic pretzel rods, and she covered them with chocolate. When I mean covered I really mean that too lol. These have so much chocolate on them, its crazy lol. The first one is covered in orange, yellow, and brown sprinkles. The pretzel rod in the center is covered with some super cute and festive fall leaf sprinkles. The last one is decorated with three pieces of candy corn. She did a really good job at decorating these, and packaging them up really nice too. Each pretzel rod is individually packaged, and has a bow at the end of each bag.


As you can see from the picture below these are pretty big in size. To be 100% honest I am not a huge chocolate fan, but I was actually really excited to try these the most. The chocolate that is covered on these is soooooo delicious. It's not super rich and it's just the perfect milk chocolate. This is the perfect example of salty and sweet. I really enjoyed these, and thought they really hit the spot. This is a good treat to snack on. I was surprised on how filling these were, I cant imagine anyone eating more then one of these lol.

 
Next up we have some cookie pops! Yep that's right a Cookie pop! I have never seen anything quite like this before so I was excited to try these out as well. Pretty much all these are, is a dipped oreo cookie with some little decorations, on a little stick! How clever! Oreo cookies are my favorite so for me this was a hit from first glance lol.

 
The one I decided to try was the one with the sprinkles on it. It looks gorgeous out of the packaging, I love how she chose these sprinkles, they look so good placed on top on the chocolate and adds a little bit of pizazz.
 
 
I took a bite out of it, and this is what it looks like in the center, I was surprised to se that there's actually some chocolate in the center as well. That was a pretty nice surprise lol. I thought these were amazing, so good that they were dangerous lol. This is the treat me and boyfriend fought over the most lol. We both thought they were amazing! I was so surprised with how well these were held together, these stayed on the sticks pretty good which was a surprise. I just imagined a treat like this was going to be a huge mess, but I was totally wrong.

 
She also included a small bag of smaller cookies with some candy corn inside as well. These little cookies were the perfect little treat. These were the cookies that are pretty popular, with the Hershey kiss on the top of them. This is also a treat I have seen all over online, but yet haven't had the chance to try yet....until now. These were perfect, they were sweet but not too sweet! I thought these were pretty good, and I also love how she packaged these in a little bag all by themselves, they almost look like a small goodie bag, which is adorable.

 
 
Up next we have a candy apple. Now this is the only treat that I didn't get to try, just because these are my Mom's favorite, so I let her do the honors on this one and try it for herself. This is an apple covered in milk chocolate and covered in small M&M's this had so much chocolate on it! Definitely if you are a huge chocolate lover you will for sure love this.
 
 
As you can tell from this picture this is a massive treat lol. The M&m's are over the entire apple, even on the bottom as well, which was crazy to see. My mom loved this and said it was great as well. She ate on this for a very long time, and just occasionally would have a bite or 2 every day or so. She kept this in our fridge and it stayed in pretty much perfect shape which was pretty cool.
 
 
 
This box also came with 10 chocolate chip cookies! I was so glad to see these in the box, just because you can never go wrong with cookies! Everyone loves cookies, and I know that I do lol. These were packaged really cute, and pretty nice as well. They were packaged all by themselves, stacked on top of each other. There was a ribbon that was tied to the bag as well. These arrived perfect as well! Not even a small crack in any of the cookies either!
 
 
So here's what the cookies look like out of the package. They just look like your basic chocolate chip cookies. These were soo good too! This was the perfect texture for a cookie too. I'm not a huge fan of soft cookies, and I know some people are, and I'm not a fan of super crunchy/hard cookies. These were little right in the middle. The outside had a little bit of a crunch to them, and the center was super soft. Let's just say these were a hit in my house hold and they didn't really stand a chance lol. These were eaten pretty much as soon as they were even opened.  If you do decide to purchase some cookies from her, here's a fun little tip. I placed one cookie in the microwave for 5 second before eating it, and it was amazing! The chocolate was a little melted, and it was soooo good. My mouth is watering thinking about it all over again lol.

 
Now if anyone was really paying attention you may have seen this little guy in the top picture. I actually lost my picture of this so I had to ask the shop owner for one of hers, so here it is! This is a little turkey made out of all kinds of treats! The base is an Oreo cookie, and the turkey itself is made out of small Reese's cups, candy corn, and sprinkles. I have seen this all over Pintrest and other online blogs, and found it super adorable and pretty creative. When I seen this in the box I was super excited to see it! 1. Because I will never be able to make something like this and 2. I wanted to try all the candy of course. Let me also tell you that this arrived in perfect condition! I was super surprised with how well this held up with being shipped to me. This was really tasty, and had lots of good flavors in it. Personally I think this kind of treat makes for the perfect decoration, and it's something you could eat as well! Which is just awesome, literally what else could you even ask for!
 
 

 
 
 
 

I am so impressed with the quality of all these yummy treats that I received. Everything was packaged amazing, and everything looked so great. I was surprised that everything arrived perfect nothing came broken or anything. This shop owner is extremely talented and knows how to make some amazing food and that's for sure! She makes so many great things, and the possibilities are truly endless she can make anything!, and makes them in any color scheme that you are looking for. If you have a party coming up and need some delicious sweets, this is the shop you need to contact!
 
Everything that came in this box was literally amazing. I have never had so many sweets in all my life, and I did it all for you guys lol. I have no regrets with eating all this either lol so I want to say Thank you to the shop owner for sending me all these amazing treats.

BeachWaySweetShop on Etsy! Interview :)


Name: Nicole Porter

Age: 34

Name of shop: Beach Way Sweet Shop


Location: Harwich, Cape Cod - Massachusetts

How'd you come up with the name of your shop: My father named it Beach Way because our physical location where we started out was on the way to the beach and we live in a beach community on Cape Cod. I added Sweet Shop so people would know we did all sorts of sweet things. 

How long has your shop been open: 5 years. 

What gave you the idea about opening an Etsy shop: After my second son was born, running a brick and mortar shop got to be too much for me. I then thought about opening on Etsy and other marketplaces to continue my shop without the physical location. 

Is this a hobby of your or do you do this full time?: Neither :) It's more than a hobby, I would call it a part time job. 

What kind of items do you sell in your shop: Fun, unique handmade candy. I like to take classics and combine them in different ways. Such as chocolate and caramel covered bacon and peanut butter and jelly filled chocolate covered Oreos. 

Your favorite item that you sell: Dark Chocolate Cookie Dough Bark. 
Retails:($10.00)
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bark / gift / fun unique present / chocolate


Something you want to happen to your shop in the future: I would love to see my shop continue to grow, perhaps be able to hire some part time helpers and give back to my community.
Do you have any plans for your shop products in the future: I plan to keep continuing the path of creating fun unique and high quality products, I love to make things you can't find anywhere. I would like to create a line of more natural products. I just got my first order of honey 
sweetened chocolate, it has no dairy and no refined sugar. I plan to create quite a few products with this, so stay tuned!

What is something you want your future customers to know about your shop: I try very hard to make sure each customer is very happy with their order. I customize almost anything to make what customers want. I run this business from my home kitchen (BOH approved) and take care of my 3 young boys. It's a blessing to be able to create things I love while being with the people I love. I hope this comes across in my shop and products. I hope you love my sweets!

For my favorite item that is listed in thie shop I chose something that I have never seen in my life! It's bacon caramel corn! This sounds amazing, I love bacon, popcorn, and carmel, so this sounds like perfection lol.
Retails:($8.00)
Bacon Caramel Corn / gift / fun unique present
