The Comfort Inn in Newport, Kentucky is located 1 mile of downtown Cincinnati. This all suite hotel sits right on the riverfront and is within walking distance from the Newport on the Levee which like a outdoor strip mall for more details check out http://www.newportonthelevee.com/
Amenities include recently upgraded suites with a wet bars, coffeemaker, minifridge, flat-screen TV’s, microwaves, free parking, an exercise room, business center, free Wi-Fi, onsite laundry, and a free breakfast buffet.
At the time of check-in we were impressed with the staff and the cleanliness off the lobby. There is a beautiful swirl staircase that takes you up to the second floor which I thought was a very nice touch for the hotel. The front desk clerk was very nice and accommodating considering we had a last minute reservation requesting an early check-in. My boyfriend and I were given a lot of useful details about the area, how to get around without driving, our stay and various other helpful information. We had a lot questions not being familiar with Newport, KY. 
The suite we stayed in for the evening was very spacious, clean, and the view upon entrance was amazing. The minifridge was clean and the microwave looked brand new. You can smell the fresh scent of cleaning products in the bathroom not a pinch of dust was present as we did our own white glove inspection. I was a little nervous based on some of the reviews I had read, but I must say you can’t please everyone. We are the huge critics and was very pleased with out stay. The only negative was the breakfast options.
The hotel is priced competitively and is a great hotel option if your ever looking to stay close to downtown Cincinnati.

Today’s recipe was inspired by a good friend of my Kizzie Inc. This is a perfect recipe for the fall season!
Ingredients
6 (med size) apples
1 pound soft Kraft wrapped caramels
2 tablespoons water
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup water
1 cup (chopped salted almonds)
6 wooden skewers (don’t forget to decorate them)
6 cupcake paper liners
The process:
Wash apples and remove their stems. Stick the wooden skewers securely into the stem end of the apples. Chop salted almonds and add to a large bowl, set aside.
In a double boiler, add 1 cup of water to bottom and boil, set the top pan aside, unwrap the caramels; place them in the top pan with the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of water.
Place the top pan with the caramel mixture over the boiling water. Let them heat up, and stir them gently until they are completely heated and smooth. (please use a spatula to stir).
Remove the double boiler with the caramels from the heat. Dip the apples one at a time into the melted caramel and coat them, by gently turning the apple in a circular motion to coat.
Dip the coated apples into the chopped salted almonds, and place each apple in a cupcake paper and sit on a pan.
Chill the apples in the fridge until the caramel is set, about 30-60 minutes.
When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator and let the caramel apples sit on kitchen counter for about 15 minutes and enjoy!!!
Kizzie Tip: Have fun and try unique coatings for your caramel apples. Be fabulous! http://www.kizzieinc.com/

I was recently sent a few products from a wonderful company called Miss Oops! Miss Oops manufactures and markets a variety of problem-solving products for women. Here are the products and assessments of each that I tried out from Miss Opps. Items that every women should have on hand.
Show Stoppers-A medical grade adhesive that prevents women’s navels from showing through their garments.
Lace Boob Tube-Covers the extra cleavage from showing when were low cut Blouses or V-necks.
Lace, Nylon, Spandex, Synthetic
Jaks- Hide those muffin tops and a free show when bending over. Perfect for low rise jeans or when wearing a top that rises up.
Rescue Sponge-Removes deodorant, makeup, or any form of product residue on clothing. Just briskly rub the dry sponge against the offending mark and watch it disappear. The Rescue Sponge comes two to a pack and are reusable. Can be used on all clothing fabrics. Small enough to keep in your handbag for emergencies. Please use dry no solution needed.
Grab A Bootie– Lifts the rump area while supporting the lower tummy. Seamless and comfortable. I love this garment because it stays perfectly in place. What more can a girl ask for!?! Machine washable.
Mishap tape-No show doubled sided tape. Worn by Mrs. J Lo! I love this tape. 36 strips 2 different widths. I used this on a hanging hem and you could not tell there difference. I also used the tape on an area where I was missing a button. Worked perfectly leaving no sticky residue. Easy to removable and this tape is washable.
