Get Adventurous This Summer With GoPro Hero From Best Buy ⋆ My Sparkling Life

Guess What Time It Is!!?? Yes, time for another fabulous Try The World Box Review! This month we were transported to Tokyo, Japan! I was so excited to get this box and see what goodies it contains. Never heard of Try The World? Here’s a bit about this subscription box:
Try the World is a bi-monthly exotic food subscription box service that brings the tastes of the world straight to your door! Their team of travelers and local experts curates a collection of products that best represent each country/city. The first box starts in Paris and then boxes move to Tokyo, Rio and other cities around the globe. Boxes include not only delicious gourmet finds but also a companion on the history of the products and how to use them as well as a culture guide that will take you through recipes, & history of the City.
At Try The World, we believe that life is too short to not try everything that’s out in the world. So we created the first subscription program to discover the best gourmet food and cultural finds from across the globe, delivered to your door!
So now that you know what Try The World is all about, let’s get into what was in the Try The World Japan Box!
Otafuku Foods Okonomiyaki Kit: Okonomiyaki is an omelet-esque pancake that’s popular throughout Japan. It’s made with a myriad of savory toppings.
Ishiguro Yamaimo Soba Noodles: These traditional noodles are made with yam extract and buckwheat. They can be prepared in various hot and cold dishes, whether it’s hot broth or a cold salad that’s dressed with ponzu sauce.
AOI Tea Blueberry Matcha Tea: Matcha is a powered green tea used in the Japanese tea ceremony. It has a wealth of benefits, including detoxification, improving poor concentration, giving a boost of energy & more. AOI Tea makes this matcha by cultivating their plants in the shade, harvesting the leaves by hands, and grinding them to a fine powder.
Kasugai Gummy Candies: In 1923, this brand started out by selling nuts and dried fruit in a small shop in central Japan. It wasn’t long after that they created gummy candies, which is still popular since their inception. We LOVED these candies, at first I wasn’t sure if we were going to like some strange fruit candy…but we’ve already purchased more!
House Foods Ginger Paste: Committed to sustainability, House Foods makes it products in a facility outfitted with solar panels. Their ginger paste is effortlessly easy to use & versatile…whisk it into soy sauce and use as a dipping sauce or dressing for noodle salad.
Takaokaya Seaweed Snack: Seaweed snacks are one of the healthiest, yet most delicious snacks! They can help aid in weight loss, digestive health, and lowering cholesterol. They also have a number of essential minerals and vitamins. Takaokaya harvests wild seaweed from the ocean, then dries it by following an ancient process similar to paper-making. It can be enjoyed straight from the bag, or crumbled over rice dishes.
Morinaga Milk Caramels: This small box of caramels packed a powerful punch by tantalizing the taste buds! Morinaga uses their traditional recipe that dates back to 1899, the year when the company was founded.
You can subscribe to Try the World bi-monthly ($39 per box), semi-annually ($35 per box), or annually ($33 per box). They offer free shipping. They also offer free returns if any of the boxes don’t meet your satisfaction. You can also cancel your subscription at anytime without any hassle.
Try The World works with artisanal producers from around the world, and therefore each box may be a little bit different. All boxes have a curated assortment of delicious and authentic gourmet products of similar value. When opening your Try The World box, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover different local flavors than the ones I have received! The card included in your box will guide you through your culinary adventure.

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Silicone baking products have become my new obsession! So I was excited to try out Baker’s Mat Silicone Baking Mat! The Baker’s Mat Silicone Baking Mat is a premium silicone baking mat that you can safely use in your oven or freezer and never have to use parchment paper again. This mat gives your baking sheet a non-stick surface to cook or freeze sticky or delicate food — even the stickiest candy like caramel will not adhere to the mat. Benefit of Cooking with a Silicone Baking Mat – Withstands temperatures from -40°F to 480°F (-40°C to 249°C) – Easily cleaned with soap and water We have used this mat several times and have had nothing stick! I baked several batches of cookies, using the mat over and over, without wiping it in between dough placement…and hubby has used it for baked bbq chicken and he let it set all weekend (don’t ask) and it still came off with the wipe of the sponge! NO FUSS CLEAN UP! I love that! I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Report the accident where it occurred, whether in your hotel or a tourist attraction. Make sure they make a record of what happened. Take the name of anyone you spoke to, and note the time and date of the accident, so you have a timeline of events. If you’re on a package holiday, report what happened to your holiday rep, or call the headquarters.
If you’ve had an accident on the road or pathways, report your accident to the police or local embassy so they can make arrangements to avoid similar accidents. Contact your insurer as soon as possible. If you’ve been involved in a car accident, it may be wise to speak to a specialist lawyer who can advise you, like https://ericramoslaw.com/san-antonio/car-accident-lawyer/.
Gather Evidence
If you’re going to claim on insurance, you will need evidence. Write down what happened as soon as you can, while all the details are still fresh in your mind. If they were witnesses, ask them for their contact details, should what they saw be needed later. Take photographs of where the accident happened, and of your injuries.
Note down the date and time of any calls you make relating to your accident, any reports you make and any medical treatment you receive whether while away and when you get home. Keep medical bills and receipts somewhere safe. Keep receipts from any other costs related to your accident, such as for painkillers, wheelchair hire or any missed trips.
When You Get Home
An accident on vacation can leave you shocked and upset. When you get home, it’s sensible to go and see your own Doctor even if you received medical treatment abroad. They can give you a second check over and make sure nothing was missed. They will be able to advise on any continuing treatment you may need.
If you think your accident was caused by a third party, whether a hotel failing to put out a wet floor sign or a dangerous activity planned by your tour operator, consider whether you may have a claim. Compensation can help to recover the costs of any loss of earnings after an injury, medical care or other costs like having to rebook flights. To successfully claim, you will need to prove that the accident was caused by the other party. The evidence you kept for you insurance company will also be useful here, so save everything.
A vacation is supposed to be a fun time with your loved ones, but an accident can be very distressing and spoil things for you. Whatever’s happened, try not to let it ruin the good memories you have of the break before the accident happened, and don’t let it ruin the idea of a future trip.

When Christy (Jennifer Garner) discovers her 10-year-old daughter Annabel (Kylie Rogers) has a rare, incurable disease, she becomes a ferocious advocate for her daughter’s healing as she searches for a solution.

JBL is the place for audio…
JBL Charge 2: Between the twin passive radiators for deep bass, the massive 6000mAh battery and the hands-free conference speakerphone the key benefit is the Bluetooth Social Mode which allows up to three different users to take their turns to play their own playlists on a single speaker.
JBL Flip 2- Aside from the dual performance-tuned JBL drivers and a built-in bass port, the key benefit of the JBL Flip 2 is the SoundClear echo and noise cancellation combined with the state-of the art microphone system to pick up calls on the speaker.
JBL Reflect Earbud headphones- Sweat proof ergonomic design. With a 5 hour rechargeable battery and a reach of about 40 feet, the JBL Reflect BT’s key benefit is the design of the ergonomic eartips along with the built-in magnets which keep your buds on standby without loose cables.
