Giveaway: Jord Wooden Watches

March 8, 2019 by kim 1 Comment

Remember the collab I did with Jord watches a while ago? Well, I’m happy to let you know that I’m working with them again, but this time, it’s for my dear husband (DH)! If you don’t know, they make awesome Men’s watches as well.

Let’s back up and talk about Jord for a second. Jord (pronounced Yode) is based in St. Louis, Missouri. I’m all about supporting US based businesses! The watches are are a sophisticated mix of natural, and largely re-claimed materials, combined with quality movements and components.  

My DH received the Hyde in Ebony and Iron. When we opened it up, the first thing that stood out is the box that it came in. The all Cedar humidor presentation boxes can also be engraved, making it a great gifting piece. My DH wears a watch daily to work, and this one fit right in with his work wardrobe. It’s easy to dress up or down thanks to the versatile color and style.

My DH owns quite a couple different watches. The one he uses the most is probably his Apple watch. Jord even makes bands for Apple watches if you prefer that. Truly, Jord has it all covered in the gift department for every kind of watch wearer.


The Hyde is also extremely lightweight. I’m used to men’s watches being much heavier, but since this is made out of natural ebony, there wasn’t much weight to it. My DH even made a comment about how light it was compared to how it looked. It looks like a substantial timepiece, but weighs as much as a dainty charm bracelet.

Jord watches are discussion pieces. People notice them and are fascinated when they find out it’s made out of wood. They’re truly standout, eye-catching accessories because of how unique they are. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with a wooden watch before Jord.

Some other great perks for ordering from Jord is that they offer free worldwide shipping, every watch comes with a one year warranty and options for return & exchange, and the watches can be customized with engraving!  Did I mention that the watches can be sized so they’re delivered to you ready to wear? There’s no need of taking it into a watch shop to get it adjusted!

Now for the fun part… I’ve teamed up with Jord again to give one lucky winner $100 off any watch of their choosing! All you have to do is enter the giveaway here.

Good luck!

Day 6: Double Dark Caramel Fudge Cookies

December 11, 2015 by kim 6 Comments

Oh my goodness, have you ever had Snappers® snacks? They’re the best snacks to take with you on the go, to have as dessert after a meal, or to bake into a cookie! I’ll be adding a bag of these to my hospital and diaper bags. A little chocolate pick me up never hurt.

IMG_9899

They’re crunchy, sweet, and a little salty. They’re also in little pieces that you can eat with your hands– no utensils or plates needed. Bite-sized food is the way to my heart.

IMG_9836

You can find these at Target; Where else do I get everything in my pantry? Here’s a little before and after of this box being used in the kitchen:IMG_9824

If you ask me, they’re just as beautiful either way. First, dump the whole bag of Snappers onto a cutting board.IMG_9748

Get a large knife and chop those babies up. You’ll end up with a glorious pile of pieces– large and small. I liked having a mix of both, but you can chop them finer if you’d like. The finer crumbs seems to stick to the dough easier, but I like the appearance of the larger pieces in a baked cookie.IMG_9764

Drop your rounded balls of dough into the pile and roll away!IMG_9786

Get those dough balls coated. I even re-rolled some of the ones that I thought were lacking. Next, throw them into the oven and let the heat do the work. They’ll come out looking like this:
IMG_9815 IMG_9816
Make sure you use a Silpat or some other silicone baking mat between your cookies and baking sheet. These cookies can get a little sticky! As for the taste, the cookies were almost brownie-like, similar to the brownies at the edge of the pan. I loved how crispy, yet chewy they were. The pretzels were like sprinkling a little sea salt to the top of a sweet cookie.
IMG_9867

I can’t decide what I like better… eating the Snappers as they are or eating a cookie rolled around in the crumbs. It’s a tough decision! You’ll have to make these cookies and let me know which one you prefer. IMG_9882
You can check out Snappers on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Don’t forget to use the hashtags #SnappersSnacks and #HolidaySnappers so we can all follow along and see what you’re making (or snacking on) in the kitchen!
IMG_9893

Snappers® snacks combine tradition and legacy for caramel, specialty peanut butter, proprietary pretzels and signature chocolate blends to create delicious, classic treats designed to be shared with family and friends. As part of the Edward Marc Brands, Snappers snacks are crafted in small batches using only the finest ingredients and they evoke nostalgic memories of home baking.

Did I mention that they come in a variety of flavors? The seasonal flavors include peppermint, dark chocolate caramel fudge, and cinnamon caramel.

IMG_9888You can find Snappers at retailers nationwide including select Target, Costco, and Kroger locations as well as local retailers such as Albertson’s, Giant Supermarkets, HEB, Meijer, Publix, Safeway, Sheetz, and Walgreen’s.

Snappers is also hosting a lovely giveaway to one lucky reader! The winner will receive a variety of Snappers® snacks samples and recipe cards, valued at $75. Enter via the Rafflecopter below:
