Beetology ~ Organic Cold Pressed Beet Juice Blends Review

Beetology Organic Cold Pressed

Beet Juice Blends

Some of the BEST juice I have ever had. When I thought of beet juice I thought yuck, was I ever so wrong. This stuff is excellent. Each bottle has it's own taste. Each flavored with something different. Each excellent and each comes in this awesome shaped reusable bottle. I have kept each and every bottle, reused them all. 

Beetology is now a daily staple in my home for both myself and my boyfriend. We love them. 

Cherry flavor is our favorite, but they are all good. 

I thought it was funny even the marker of Beetology had a saying like my thought; "

As for those who balk at beets, Herzog says the trend is here to stay. “

Beetology 

is out to prove just how sweet and tasty this misunderstood root vegetable is. We farm the finest beets with the perfect level of sweetness (brix) because we think that beet juice should be both nutritious and delicious.

Mohawk Valley Trading Company Review

Nothing makes me happier then waking up from a good night's sleep to the smell of buckwheat waffles cooking. 
If you've never had them before buckwheat pancakes or waffles with maple syrup are the best, they remind me of my childhood when my step Mom used to have
​warm buckwheat pancakes or waffles made on the weekends. 
The taste is amazing compared to a "normal" pancake/waffle.
I think the buckwheat improves the flavor. ... They are good, lighter and airy in taste than traditional pancakes.

The mix from Mohawk Valley Trading Co is all Natural and super easy to use. Just add water, eggs and oil. 
Pair them with Maple Syrup and you have the best breakfast ever.
I never really liked Maple Syrup Mohawk Valley Trading Co's, it's a
100% Pure Maple Syrup, Grade A, Dark Color, Robust Taste
Just Delicious, not only good on pancakes and waffles but excellent added into recipes. 
Another yummy topper for these pancakes and waffles is Maple Sugar it's powered. 
Maple syrup is made from boiled tree sap, and maple sugar is made from the controlled crystallization of maple syrup. Heating and mechanical straining are the only forms of processing it goes though. It contains more trace minerals (including manganese, zinc and copper) and antioxidants than cane sugar.
Also honey is a great pancake/waffle topper. 
I prefer it sometimes more than syrup. 
Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Unprocessed
Raw Goldenrod Honey is so sweet and perfect on breakfast items, in tea or alone from a spoon. 

I should of mentioned that breakfast is even better after getting a good night's sleep on a buckwheat hull pillow. I had never heard of these pillows until I was asked to review one.. Now I can't live without it. Not only does it keep you cooler at night but it forms to your head helping you sleep more comfortable and wake rested. No matter how you sleep, side, stomach or back this pillow will improve your sleep and make your days better.   Buckwheat hulls are hypoallergenic and if kept dry will not provide a suitable habitat for mold or insects. They can be purchased in King, Queen, Twin/Standard and Small Size Hull Pillow.

Another great "bee" related product is Mohawk Valley Trading Co.'s Beeswax candles. Beeswax is literally created by honeybees from honey which is made from flower nectar. High quality beeswax candles are made from the melted and filtered caps that seal the honeycomb and the honeycomb itself. Beeswax is one of the oldest sources of artificial light and today is still the most natural candle material. 100% Pure Beeswax Celebration Tapers are perfect for birthday parties. Not only do they smell great they look great on top any cake or cupcakes.

All these items can be purchased on Amazon

Hear Doggy.... goDog..... by WorldWise Dog Toy Review

WorldWise has these wonderful brands Hear Doggy & goDog that sell some awesome and fun dog toys. As you can see below my dogs have a whole ton of these great toys and play with them daily. 

Hear Doggy toys are great for play during quiet time. While we watch a movie or when I just don't want to hear that loud squeaker of normal dog toys I encourage my dogs to play with their Hear Doggy toys. We have three dogs so sometimes play time to get overwhelming with all the squeaking going on. 

​Any pet lover knows that dogs love the feel and sound of “squeaky” toys, but enduring the high-pitched repetition in the wee hours of the night can drive  any pet-parent crazy!  
 Ultrasonic HEAR DOGGY!® toys are made with a squeaker ONLY your dog can hear!
Hear Doggy! plush toys give your pet the same sensation and enjoyment of
traditional squeaky toys without the irritating noise!
The science behind Hear Doggy!:
Dogs can hear sounds at a higher frequency (0 to 45 KHz) than humans (0 to 20 KHz).  Tuned to an ultrasonic range in the 24-28 KHz frequency, each Hear Doggy! squeaker is out of human hearing range,
but still fun for your four-legged friend.

These toys come in two sizes, small and large, my small dogs (all under 20lbs) prefer the larger ones. 
They are also super tough, other dog toys have been torn to shreds in our home, not Hear Doggy,
not a single rip or tear anywhere.

Eco Nuts Organic Laundry Detergent Review & Giveaway

Do your laundry with soap berries...
Eco Nuts is a healthier cleaning option for your family and our planet through their 
non toxic organic cleaners in sustainable packaging

I was very skeptical when first trying Eco Nuts. Who would've thought that something this natural would clean your clothes? Not me...
I was amazed after the first load of laundry, I had to do another to make sure these small soap berries washed another load perfectly. In fact I got a full 10 loads of laundry perfectly clean with one cloth bag of 5. 
Everytime the clothes or towels came out clean, smelling fresh and as if I added fabric softener at the end of the load. After drying the clothes and towels still had a freshly cleaned smell. 
I was super impressed and like the fact that I can now use something so natural to wash my clothes, towels and bedding. 
Also the amount of money I will save using Eco                                                                                                                 Nuts vs. a traditional laundry soap or "pod".
                                                                         For $9.99 I can wash 100-loads of laundry. This is only 10 cents a load!

---

These odd looking “nuts” are actually dried berries from a tree that grows in the Himalayas. When agitated in water, they produce a naturally occuring surfactant called saponin, which gently cleanses laundry – an option for those sensitive to conventional laundry detergents.
Simply place 4-5 Eco Nuts in the provided cloth bag and toss in the washer with your clothes – they suds up naturally and act as a natural fabric softener in the rinse cycle. Clothes come out smelling fresh and clean and super soft.  Berries can be re-used up to 10 times making them a super-affordable option.
Use as a 2-in-one detergent and softener, or use with your existing detergent just as a fabric softener.

Multiple Award winning and certified USDA Organic by Oregon Tilth.  
As Seen on Shark Tank.

Note: if you are using an HE (front loading) machine, we recommend our Liquid Detergent. Eco Nuts soap nuts will get the job done, but the liquid works better and is specially formulated for HE machines.

​I use my Eco Nuts in my HE washer and have had no issues, according to the above they will still work but the liquid works better. I think when I go to order next time I will order the liquid too and see if I can tell a difference. 
For now though I am happy with my Eco Nuts.

All Terrain Aqua Sport SPF 45 Lotion

All Terrain’s mission is to help people live more active, healthier lives.  The company originated when a climber was hiking in Costa Rica and a bottle of DEET-based insect repellent he was carrying leaked.  It ate through his backpack and melted the keys on a calculator he was carrying to figure out the exchange rate.  After that experience, he came home, researched and developed the effective, Deet-Free Herbal Armor™ Insect Repellent.  From this humble beginning, All Terrain moved to Sunapee, New Hampshire and now offers a broad range of safe, effective insect repellents, sunscreens, first aid, soaps and sanitizers to help people live more actively.

All Terrain has an awesome assortment of sunscreens for adult and children. This new formula is dimethicone free, oxybenzone free and praben free. All Terrain uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as safest active ingredients.  All Terrian is an awesome company that takes our health and the environment seriously. Thay have taken into consideration that areas like Hawaii have banned the sunscreens that include oxybenzone and octinoxate so their sunscreens are totally free of these ingredients. All Terrain believes that their sunscreens will perform effectively with them being safe and all natural .The one I have been using most recently is the All Terrain AquaSport SPF 45 Lotion Broad Resistant. This water resistant sunscreen will last for up to 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. This is so perfect for this summer. It has been so hot that we are always doing one of those activities. We love to go to the pool and while out in the water we are exposed to the sun and it's reflection off of the water. This sunscreen should be applied after you towel dry too. So if the kids are just jumping in and out and air drying them I reapply every 80 min. If they get out of the water and towel dry off then I reapply right away so they are safe while snacking and hanging out.

I have been also using All Terrain AquaSport SPF 45 Lotion outside when I'm in my garden. It's been getting into the 90s here and I trust this sunscreen to protect me even through the sweat. I know it sounds gross but when out in this kind of heat doing anything you are bound to break a sweat. You  need a sunscreen that won't just fade away easily.

I really love this All Terrain sunscreen for so many different reasons. Of course I love that it works!! LOL Aside from that it is so thick and rich. When you apply it, it feels like you are applying a luxurious lotion. It is creamy and leaves your skin feeling so soft and nourished.  It's awesome how it solves two of my major summer issues. My skin gets super dry in the summer heat so All Terrain sunscreen heals my dry skin as well as protects it from the scorching rays.

All Terrain Aqua Sport SPF 45 Lotion Broad Spectrum is no slip, dry grip sunscreen. It also does not smell like a yucky medicine or your typical sunscreen. This improved formula is oxybenzone free and fragrance free which is perfect for anyone who is scent sensitive. I tend to be picky about what I rub onto my skin because a lot of lotions can irritate or cause itchy rashes. This Aqua Sport Sunscreen gave me no negative reactions. It's perfect!!

Once you try our product, you won't be going back to regular over-the-counter cocoa any more! It was only a matter of time till we infused chocolate with ghee and MCTs to create an energy dense powerhouse. Lastly, we're picky about the most miniscule details and decided to use real vanilla beans instead of extracts or powders which are mostly fillers, alcohol or carbs(eg. cornstarch). What can we say... we love the classic, traditional and premium style.

BACON, EGG & CHEESE SMOKED BREAKFAST LINKS
I could of ate every one of these in one sitting. But I had to control the urge and only have 2 1/2
I was able to make 2 breakfast meals with one pack. 
You will receive 2 individually wrapped packages per box, each containing 5 of these awesome sausages. 
I don't even know if there's words to describe how good these were. 
Just get some and try for yourself... You too will LOVE them. 
​Conveniently pre-cooked, these breakfast sausages are a great choice. Packed with bacon, egg and cheddar cheese, it’s a complete breakfast all rolled into one sausage. Added benefit – there’s only one dish to clean when you’re done.

PROSCIUTTO-LOADED FRESH ITALIAN COIL SAUSAGE

The first and by far the BEST Mighty Spark product we've tried. 
We did eat this ALL in one night. I made spaghetti and added it on top.  Plus we sampled some plain. 
This roll sausage is truly loaded with prosciutto and seasoned perfectly. Would be great on sandwiches, by itself or on pasta like I served it. 
​The best Italian Sausage you will ever try. Moist, packed full of flavor, easy to cook (grill, bake or pan fry) We grilled ours and it turned out perfect. 

Right off the Grill

I know my pasta noodles look odd, that's because I don't eat pasta, those are hearts of palm slivers.

MACARONI & CHEESE SMOKED HOT DOG LINKS YES, you read that right... Macaroni & Cheese and YES... they have Macaroni & Cheese inside them.  I wish I would of broke one in half & taken a picture. As you can see to the left the cheese is trying to escape, what you can't see is the macaroni noodles inside.  As I stated above, I don't eat pasta, due to tummy issues, but I dealt with those issues and gave these a try.  OUTSTANDING! Any adult or child would love these smoked hot dog links. You get a package of 6, already cooked hot dogs. I heated mine on the grill.

The Freshest, BEST meat you will EVER try. Once you try Mighty Spark Food Co products you will try no other.

Start Your Engines! 2018's Must-visit Route 66 Road Trip Gems For Your Summer Bucket List Are Here, Powered By Lipton And TripAdvisor 
Road Trippers Invited to Experience the Best of Iconic American Highway the Weekend of National Iced Tea Day (June 8-10)

Kids are out of school so let the road trippin' begin. 

Just as families are revving up for the summer travel season, Lipton, the iconic tea brand, is collaborating with TripAdvisor, the world's largest travel site, to share "2018's Route 66 Road Trip Gems" – a list of must-experience attractions for families to check out this summer along one of America's most historical highways.
Lipton worked with TripAdvisor and its database of more than 600 million traveler reviews and opinions, to curate a list of the route's most notable spots for vacationers of all ages. Tapping into the beauty of the road trip by focusing not on the end destination but the actual journey itself, the list of stops includes fan-favorite diners, the best places for grab 'n go snacks, and the perfect locations to snap a roadside selfie.

If you've never done a road trip across Route 66 you should. It's lots of fun, beautiful and packed full of awesome adventures along with great spots to eat. Why not go during TripAdvisor and Liptons kick-off to the much anticipated start of summer, Lipton is launching this "Refreshingly Road Trippin' with Lipton," an event that will take place the weekend of National Iced Tea Day, June 8-10, that invites consumers to experience – and taste – some of the best of the Route 66 road trip experience.

The first event of its kind will offer visitors the opportunity to get a full Route 66 one-stop-shop sensory experience – from the taste, smells and even "selfie-worthy" sights of the all-American road trip. Event attendees will be refreshed with Lipton Iced Tea, including the recently launched Lipton Iced Tea with a Splash of Juice in three juicy flavors – Berry, Tropical and Pear & Peach – paired with classic American roadside fare inspired by some of the famous stops on the 2018 Route 66 Road Trip Gems list. The spots on the list, can be viewed at LiptonRoadTrip.com, and include Bernardi's II Restaurant (Pontiac, IL), known for their mouthwatering fried chicken, and Le Roy's (Monrovia, CA), known for their generous portions and pastrami covered Le Roy's burger, in addition to:

I haven't been to all the above but I have visited a few, my favorite and close (hour 1/2 drive) from my house Westside Lilo's Cafe, if you go the banana cream pie is a must. 

Jigg's Smoke House Big Texan Steak Ranch Cozy Dog Drive In

The Chili Parlor Britten Leaning Water Tower

Ollie's Station Restaurant Singing Road Meramec Caverns

Old Riverton Store

Westside Lilo's Cafe

What a fun way to start off June ~ 8th-10th

​The three-day experience will also feature memorable activities, such as the revealing of the town's first Lipton mural and renaming the Route 66 highway "The Lipton Highway" for the weekend. The classic Route 66 experience will occur in the charming town of Pontiac, IL, located near the start of Route 66 and home to the Route 66 Association Hall of Fame and Museum.
"The city of Pontiac is all about bringing families together to celebrate the adventures that happen on road trips," said Ellie Alexander, the Tourism Director of the City of Pontiac. "Lipton has been there with us during those moments and we are overjoyed to celebrate National Iced Tea Day with Lipton and encourage travelers to get out there to make great memories with their family and friends while exploring all road trip attractions,
​such as Pontiac, across the U.S.A."

Consumers who can't make it to Pontiac, IL for the event can still help Lipton celebrate National Iced Tea Day on June 10. The brand is giving away free Lipton Iced Tea 20 oz. bottles (any flavor) to the first 100,000 consumers who register on LiptonIcedTeaDay.com.

If you haven't tried these yet, don't wait, they are super yummy.

GLOW Sparkling Infused Beverages Review & 6 pack giveaway

I was able to try both GLOW Sparkling Infused Hydration & Energy Drinks in
Spicy Watermelon & Mango Apricot.
I have to admit, the Mango Apricot is the best.
I was not a huge fan of the Spicy Watermelon, but then again I am not a huge watermelon fan.
The drinks need to be super cold when you drink them, they are best that way. 
I didn't realize this before reading more into it but..... GLOW was decided as the name, because under black/ultra violet lighting, the liquid glows.you learn something new every day. 
I wish I had a black/ultra violet light to give it a try. 

The black labeled GLOW are Sparkling Infused Energy drinks. With only 15 calories per bottle and 14 grams carbs, these  are perfect for most all ways (diets) of eating. 
GLOW Sparkling Energy is a Premium Energy drink that contains vitamins, electrolytes and other unique ingredients that helps your body stay energized without the chemicals and synthetic ingredients in common energy drinks.I really enjoyed the taste of the Mango Apricot, the Spicy Watermelon wasn't bad, but I did seem to have a watermelon taste in my mouth for hours and kept burping watermelon taste. 
So when I go to buy GLOW in the future I will stick to the Mango Apricot. 
GLOW Energy has a refreshing not to sweet taste, they don't give you a big kick of energy, but just enough boost/pick me up after a long day. 
Make sure you drink one ice cold, it just tastes better that way.

Petlinks Dog Bed Review

My girls love their Petlinks Soothing Gel Memory Foam Pet Bed
It's so big all three can cuddle together in one. 
We have 3 of these wonderfully soft beds around the house. Our dogs are spoiled. 
Even the cats love sleeping in them. 

The Petlinks Soothing Escape deluxe cuddle pet bed with gel memory foam cushion reduces heat retention and conforms to your pet's body contours. Gel beads cool and comfort while memory foam supports and relieves achy joints. The color of the plush cover is natural with gray corduroy sides. The cover is also removable and machine washable. Available in medium and large sizes. Eco advantage: Our reclaimed memory foam mix is made of shredded leftover remnants from foam manufacturing, keeping waste out of landfills. 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Petlinks therapeutic pet beds help relieve join pain and ease tired muscles by evenly distributing your dog's weight to help rejuvenate him while he rests. Convoluted foam's distinctive bumps both cushion and support, while memory and gel foams conform to your dog's unique shape, alleviating stress on aching pressure points.

Petlinks Cat Toys & Scratcher Review

Petlinks Cat Toys & Scratchers 

The second I took Katy's Petlinks Scratcher's Choice Scratching Pad out of the box she stood on it. I had to kick her off just to open it up. I guess she was happy just getting the box. We have a few of these around the house, always have, Katy loves them. She is good about not scratching our furniture or carpet. She's been that way her whole life, she's in her senior years now. Our other cat Duncan would rather get in trouble on a daily basis scratching luckily just the carpet, he spares the couch and loveseat. 

​Duncan was very interested in the cardboard toys. He lost interest quickly but Katy continued to play with her toys and scratch pad for a while. 

---

Scratching is normal behavior for cats to mark territory, stretch, reduce stress and remove irritating loose claw sheaths. Scratcher's Choice+ corrugate scratcher simulates the roughness of tree bark, a surface cats often scratch in nature.
Place scratchers near your cat's food bowl, favorite resting spots and frequent scratching targets to help deter inappropriate scratching on furnishings, drapes and rugs.
Regularly adding catnip to the corrugate attracts your cat to scratch and maintains your cat's interest over time.
We recycle post-consumer and post-industrial cardboard to make our
high-quality corrugated scratchers.
Consumers love that these scratchers help save their furniture,
​keep cardboard out of landfills and are 100% recyclable.

The cats also received the above
(and on the side)toy from Petlinks but unfortunately Molly our mini dachshund didn't think they deserved it.... the eyes lite up and I guess that was Molly's sign to destroy. She got ahold of this small toy and within minutes it was dead. Poor cats had no chance of playing with it. 
Molly and Maddie both dachshunds have ate ALL the cardboard toys that the Petlinks Scratching Pad came with. 
Poor cats never get to
​have any fun.
