My dear friend Tori Editor and Chief of Thoughtfully Simple gave a shout out here:  http://www.thoughtfullysimple.com/best-gift-for-the-bbq-lover/

Here is an email I received from a food allergy expert that was doing a review on Grill Charms™

“Hi Leslie,
I tried out Grill Charms this week-end when we grilled some burgers.  I must admit that I was a bit skeptical that the charm would stay in ground beef, but it worked perfectly, even while flipping.  I’m a believer!”   I can’t tell you how happy it makes me when I make a “believer” out of someone.  Here is a link to her review:

I have a little story today about the power of Twitter.  For those of you that don’t know about “Twitter”…hmmmmm… I’m not even sure where to begin.  Here is the Wikipedia def: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter  Now I am by no means a twitter expert, as a matter of fact, I’m not even that good at harnessing the true marketing power of twitter, but I’m learning.  I did however realize this week just what a wonderful tool it can be for just plain “stuff”.   Grill Charms™ was featured in a Dallas / Fort Worth magazine called Indulge.  I had been in contact with the reporter and knew the issue was out.  I felt weird asking for a copy to be sent to me as the writer had already done so much and the story was also featured in several newspapers across the US, so instead of asking for a favor from a guy who already done quite enough… I tweeted.  I put out a tweet asking if anyone lived in the Dallas area and if they ever heard of the magazine.  Almost immediately I got a DM (direct message) from a follower who said she had family in the area and would absolutely have someone pick up a copy.  She even refused payment for the magazine and postage!  Talk about paying it forward.  In the news there are always so many scary stories about creeps on the internet and not to trust anyone etc.. and I do believe in safety first, BUT I do also believe in my heart of hearts that 99% of the people online are good, genuine people.  If you guys want to “follow” a GREAT gal, follow www.twitter.com/Fancy_Nancy_

She’s a real gem!  Thanks for paying it forward Nancy!  And if you are not following me, I’m www.twitter.com/grillcharmer
