I have an entire circus of animals in my home so I am always looking for pet products that are effective and safe for my little fur babies. All Terrain has provided me with the best of both worlds. There line of pet products covers pretty much all of my fur friends needs.
The Paw & Skin Soother is such a great product. Now that I have discovered it I don't think I can live without it. It has so many useful purposes. Two of which have been issues in my home on multiple occasions. I have one older dog in particular that gets super itchy. It comes and goes depending on the weather and depending on the medication she takes. There are times when she itches her little booty so much that she chews the fur off and gets hot spots. It is so hard to watch her suffer from this and I always look for solutions. The tough part is finding something that will help her suffering but at the same time it can't be toxic because of course.....she will reach around and lick it or chew it.

All Terrain Paw & Skin Soother helps naturally relieve dry, irritated skin. I apply this to my doggies itchy spot as soon as I see it begin to bother her. It works wonders, it moistens and conditions her skin and gets rid of the bothersome itch. 
All four of my dogs also get cracked paw pads from going on walks, hikes and even just playing around on the concrete. This All Terrain Paw Soother helps to condition their little paws and prevents the cracks from spreading and hurting more. I have been using this on the regular and my pups just roll over and enjoy getting their feeties massaged while I work it into the pads.

​Max was a little unsure about his first bath but he is much more comfortable, fluffy and clean now. This All Terrain Odor Shampoo gets super sudsy so a little goes a long way. Since I do have so many dogs and give so many bathes I can't stand the shampoos that
​ don't soap up. I don't want to pay to use half a bottle for one bath. All Terrain shampoo comes in a good sized, 16oz bottle and I don't need to use too much. This bottle will actually last me a while.
All Terrian also has an amazing Odor Shampoo for dogs. I have a whole pack of dogs in my home and so bath time is not stop. I really put this shampoo to the test last week when I adopted the newest member of our family. His name is Max and he is 10 years old. When we first took him in he was sooooo stinky. Every time I pet him I needed to go wash my hands. Ugh it was terrible, he smelled so bad. I eagerly took him home and got him ready for his bath.  The second I got him all soapy he smelled so much better. This doggy shampoo smells amazing. It does not have any harsh medicine smell or yucky scent. It truly smells fresh, clean and good.

 We make skin & hair care easy for everyone.
In today's world, it takes a lot of work to make healthy choices. There are too many products out there, too many claims to fix all kinds of "concerns." We see too many fine prints about the chemicals we should know about but don't have time to research.
We are committed to bringing certified organic, natural products that are safe and good for all humankind - and we live up to our claims that are transparent and informative.

​OUR STORY
Started by consumers just like you
We were just like you, consumers who wanted to learn more about making healthy choices and understand the ingredient labels on the products we used. Just like so many consumers, we started having allergic reactions to different foods and realized it was more than the foods we ate. We realized what we put on our skin is as important as what we put in our bodies. In our quest to find products made with all natural & organically safe ingredients, we began making our own products & Fahari Naturals was born!

I was able to try to two below products from Fahari Naturals

Picture

NATURAL FACE WASH WITH ORGANIC GREEN TEA 3.3 OZ

This lotion like face wash is perfect for everyday use, it's not drying or greasy, just the perfect amount of cleaning and moisture for any kind of skin. I have combination skin and this face wash worked great, getting my oily spots clean and leaving my dryer spots moistened. No sticky or tacky feeling after use, it just left my face feeling perfectly clean, fresh and soft. Just a small amount is needed, so this 3.3 oz container should last 1-2 months. I used 1 pump each time I washed my face (morning & night) I was very happy with this face wash and love that it's made with things like Chamomile, Aloe, Cucumber and Organic Green Tea extracts. 
A versatile cleanser for all skin types and suitable for daily use.
-This lotion type cleanser mildly cleans skin with coconut and sugar
beets derived ingredients.
-Chamomile, Aloe, Cucumber and Organic Green Tea extracts, each are used to soothe, tighten and act as an anti-oxidant on the skin.
Picture

​NATURAL FACE MOISTURIZER FOR BALANCING YOUR PH 2OZ

Best face moisturizer I have ever used. This really does balance out your pH. 
My face has never looked or felt so good. 
It's so soft, no longer greasy in some spots and dry in others and it just looks great. 
I feel like my skin is glowing. 
-A neutral pH promotes elasticity, softens and tones all skin types.
-Jojoba oil protects and moisturizes without clogging pores.
-Contains Vitamin A which brightens skin and reduces the signs of aging.
-Contains Panthenol which nourishes the skin for optimal performance.
Picture

I really like this company and their products. 
The products are made certified organic, natural and are safe and good for all humankind.
They care about what they are making and putting into each and every bottle. 
The results are shown when you use the products. 
They may be a little on the more expensive side, but I felt you get what you pay for. 
These aren't watered down products, they are pure, thick, real products that WORK. 
You will see and feel results after the first use. Since they are pure you don't need a ton, a little goes a long ways. 
Use SIMPLESIDE for 15% off and if you spend $50, get free shipping.

Enter below, 3 lucky winners will get something special from Fahari Naturals

Jarrow Formulas Review

I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com) to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links.”
What Are Probiotics?
According to the FAO/WHO, probiotics are defined as “live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.”
Microorganisms like bacteria are considered “probiotics” when they have been demonstrated, through various scientific studies and clinical trials, to confer health benefits and healthy bowel function in humans and/or animals.
Jarrow Formulas has some wonderful probiotics and I was lucky enough to get to try some of the Jarro-Dophilus Probiotics supplements. They have worked wonders on my body. My stomach has never been happier. 
Below is what I tried and how I felt about my results for each. 
Jarro-Dophilus ® Women is a true probiotic for women because it uniquely contains four patented probiotic strains known as the “Astarte” strains.* All four Astarte strains were originally isolated in clinical research from young, healthy women in their third month of pregnancy and are the predominant species found in the vaginal tract of healthy women.* The strains were enumerated and screened for desirable characteristics and efficacy, and clinically tested to document their health benefits for women’s health.*

My thoughts on this product... it works but I had to stop using it after 3 days. I kept getting an odd sort of burning feeling down there. I stopped taking this after a few days to see if it would stop and it did right away, decided after about a week to give it another try and sure enough the same day I started I had that same feeling again. So I just stopped for good and passed the product onto a friend. She had great results with it and said she had no reactions. So there was just something in this that my body didn't like.

​1 Billion Per Serving
​
 Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) is associated with improved growth, the development of intestinal membrane integrity, and is critical for developing immune function.*
I don't have an infant in my home so was not able to try these myself. I did pass them onto a friend and she stated that her child was benefiting from these drops. She was adding them into her bottle daily as directed on the box. 
My favorite Jarrow Formulas product. I now purchase this on a regular basis and take it daily. Love Love Love and my stomach and never been happier. 
Just chew 2 per day, they are sugar free and work great for adults or children. 

Jarrow Formulas® Yum-Yum Dophilus® provides 4 strains of potent beneficial bacteria in a yummy chewable tablet.Beneficial intestinal flora can be depleted  by a diet that is low in fiber, high in  meat and sugar, by medication taken for illness and infections, by travel and  by stress, etc. The result is dysbiosis (i.e., the disruption of the normal intestinal  microflora), which can negatively affect digestion and well being.*

Fem-Dophilus®  contains two patented and clinically documented probiotic strains,  Lactobacillus rhamnosus, GR-1®  and  Lactobacillus reuteri, RC-14®, discovered and developed by Dr. Gregor Reid and Dr. Andrew Bruce at Urex Biotech. Over 25 years of research supports the oral use of GR-1®  and RC-14®  to colonize and promote healthy vaginal and urinary tract health.* A special manufacturing process protects the probiotic strains in  Fem-Dophilus®  from stomach acid and enhances probiotic bacterial  survival to the lower intestine.*

​I did not try this product due to the issue with the Jarro-Dophilus ® Women.

I would suggest looking around Jarrow.com for all your probiotic needs. 
They have quite a few products to choose from. 
I was very pleased with the products, even with the slight issue I had. I still continue to use their products today.

All Terrain Herbal Armor Natural Insect Repellent Sticks Review & Giveaway

Picture

All Terrain sells safe, effective products to help people live more active, healthier lives. All Terrain’s products try to disprove the myth that if the products contain natural-based ingredients, it can’t work as well as chemical-based products. The products are developed by and for outdoor enthusiasts for use whether trekking in the backcountry or relaxing with family in your backyard.  In addition to wanting people to live healthier lives, the company is based on caring and a desire to protect the environment.
Safe, DEET-Free Insect Repellent Sticks
All Terrain Natural Insect Repellent Sticks are the perfect product to have around for backyard BBQs and all your camping trips. These super cool sticks will keep the biting bug away as well as keep your family safe from nasty chemicals.

My family and I are always getting bit by mosquitoes and it absolutely drives me crazy. They are sooo aggressive they even bite me through my clothes.  I get the hugest most gigantic welts that itch like there's no tomorrow. The kids suffer even more than I do and scratch the bites until they bleed. It is terrible. 

The All Terrain Herbal Armor Natural Insect Repellent Sticks are a lifesaver and they are so simple to use.

​The package contains 10 sticks so there are plenty for a camping trip. Everything you need is right in the pack. Just take the metal holder from the packaging and angle the prong to just under 90 degrees. use a match or lighter to light the end of the stick. Once the flame catches let the edge burn until they turn white then blow out the flame. The 

Picture
Picture
​stick will start producing smoke. The smoke will detract all the bugs. I like to place a stick on the picnic tables at the camp grounds. I also keep one on the table outside during our​BBQs so the bugs don't bother us while we are eating. Each stick lasts for about an hour once it's lit. You can use as many as you feel needed depending on the size of the space you are trying to protect. 

These sticks are completely made of natural ingredients including lemongrass, citronella, rosemary, thyme and geranium oil. 

These have also been amazing when I'm working out in my garden. I just place a few of them in safe areas of my garden, like on bricks, little tables and stones. They keeps the bugs from bothering me while in pruning and harvesting my veggies. Now that I've used them I really don't know how I have managed without them. All Terrain Herbal Armor Natural Insect Repellent Sticks have been keeping me and my family bug bite free and itch free.

AMAROK 100% GRASS FED BEEF

With 3 Times The Muscle-Building Protein of the leading beef stick all coming from grass-fed beef with no added hormones, nitrates, antiboitics, gluten or MSG. In fact if you look at other “meat sticks” on the market, they are not even beef sticks! They are called meat or snack sticks because they use lower quality ingredients and the USDA will not classify them as real beef sticks…
Plus, those other sticks add fat-inducing, physique killing sugars. A lot of them add more fat than you can shake a stick at! (pun intended)
So if you’re going to snack on something anyway, why not snack on the best? Amarok High-Protein, Grass-Fed, Beef Sticks by Superpowered Nutrition…

NeoCell Move Matrix
Advanced Joint Hydrator

Some of you may remember last year when I had hand surgery... I will never forget that day, week, month, heck. I still remember it all today, my hand still hurts... mainly my thumb, it's always sore, 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Not half as sore as it was before surgery and I can actually use it, before surgery it was unless. But now just sore... Not so much anymore. I've been taking another wonderful product from NeoCell and like all NeoCell products, it works. 
No more pain. Not just in my hand, but anywhere in my body. I honestly feel so much better in general. 
All those before aches in my knees, legs, hips, hand and wrists are now gone. 
It's like each time I take a pill i'm swallowing a small piece of padding (of course your not) but that's the way I feel. This product is great. If you have aches and pains and need 
joint flexibility, range of motion, and a healthy inflammatory response help
this is the product for you. 
Picture

The only downside I have with this product is you have to take 5 pills per day. The pills are average size, see the image above. They go down easy with just a cup of water. But 5 pills is a lot. I take 3 in the morning and 2 at dinner. It's my only way of remembering to take them all. You do receive a 30 day supply per bottle. 
​NeoCell Move Matrix Advanced Joint Hydrator provides scientifically advanced ingredients that work synergistically in the body to promote healthy joints. This premium formula supports joint flexibility, range of motion, and a healthy inflammatory response. Like all neocell products, Move Matrix is standardized to be bioactive for potent absorption and efficacy.

  • Bioactive neocell collagen type 2 - The key structural protein of joint cartilage. 60% of joint cartilage is made of collagen type 2.
  • Hyaluronic Acid - A water loving molecule that provides joint cushioning and lubrication, due to its ability to hold 1,000 times its weight in water.
  • Glucosamine, Chondrotin & MSM - A combination of building block nutrients that contribute to the formation of healthy connective tissue.
  • Move Matric Blend - A blend of antioxidants and herbal extracts that support a healthy inflammatory response in the joints.

Oh, my is it nice, it's like taking a shower with the softest body wash ever, your skin will thank you after using this just once. Plus the smell is AMAZING. It's such a yummy coconutty smell, it almost makes me hungry for something sweet =) by far one of the best body washes I have ever used. This is one I will continue to purchase. My skin has never felt so good. It makes a nice rich lather and I don't even need lotion after bathing, this has so much moisture.

Ora Organics Review

Ora sells wonderful organic, plant-based & sustainable supplements that work and taste great. 
Ora Organic was created by and for healthy foodies to replace synthetic supplements with nutrients from organic & sustainable sources.
That means omega-3 from microalgae and protein from plants!
I was very impressed with both the products I received from ORA. 
My favorite was Trust Your Gut, 
Trust Your Gut is a wonderful organic & plant-based probiotic powder. Not only does it taste great, it works great. 
It's got a wonderful apple & raspberry fruity taste that blends up nice and smooth in a cup of water or smoothie. I use mine in water daily. Just one small scoop to 1.5oz of water is all it takes. Best taken before a meal but you can take it anytime of the day. I drink mine first thing in the morning, even before my morning cup of coffee. It's like my morning treat. If that's even a thing =) Best part, it containes NO dairy, gluten, soy, GMOs, peanuts, tree nuts, added sugars, filler ingredients, artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners or preservatives.
If you have tummy issues, give this product a try. I do and my stomach thanks ORA for introducing me to 
TRUST YOUR GUT
it's been a life saver. Before I was a mess and trust me I have tried just about everything. Even perscription products. Nothing seems to help, not eating is sometimes my only option for the day. But now with drinking just one glass of Trust Your Gut in the morning I am not having the issues I had before. My tummy actually likes me again. 
It's truly amazing. I never thought I would find something that works, maybe becuase ORA makes this product wtih natural things, not a bunch of fillers. It's organic and plant-based. 
​
  • I’m a USDA Organic probiotic and prebiotic powder with 20 billion probiotics per serving and 6 strains that support optimal digestive health* and peak immune function*
  • I contain some of the most clinically documented and acid resistant probiotic strains in the world so you can get back to trusting your gut :P One scoop of me is 20% of your daily fiber needs and I come packed with organic prebiotics. Prebiotics serve as fuel for probiotics - they help the good bacteria thrive in your gut so your probiotics can get to work!
  • Our chef designed me to taste great with a little water or in a smoothie - I never include filler ingredients, artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners or preservatives. Nobody needs that junk!
  • I don’t need to be refrigerated because I’m freeze-dried
One container contains 30 servings. If you watch calories each serving contains 30 calories and 7g carbs. 
Probiotics are living microorganisms that scientific research has shown to benefit human health. In some cases they are similar to, or the same as, the microbes already found in a healthy digestive tract. These microorganisms in our digestive tract are collectively called our microbiome.
​The microbiome is tied to digestion, the immune system, mood balance, essential nutrient creation, and plays a role in allergic reactions as well as viral, bacterial, fungal and yeast infections. 
The microbiome can be thrown out of balance through stress, food, alcohol, exercise, medications and antibiotics. That’s why taking a daily probiotic is so important to maintaining balance in the microbiome.
Ora's Probiotic Blend contains clinically documented and acid resistant strains to give a comprehensive mix of probiotic species for optimal digestive health, immune function, mood balance, hair & skin health, and pathogen fighting support (candida, yeast, bacterial and viral)*
Ora's Nothing Fishy Here is a great Orange tasting omega-3 spray. Just shake and spray, 12 times directly into mouth - Ora suggests 2 rounds of 6 sprays each. 
Since using I have noticed the most results in my nails and skin. 
My nails look great and my skins less dry. 
The taste is great too. 
Nothing fishy about it, just a great orange taste. 
​
  • I’m the first ever omega-3 spray, delivering 1000mg of vegan omega-3 per serving. Studies show omega-3 may improve cognitive function,* brain health,* skin & hair health,* eye health* & heart health.*
  • Sustainably sourced from microalgae farmed in pure waters outside of the oceans, making me free of mercury, pesticides, PCBs, heavy metals and other ocean pollutants.
  • The Ora Chef formulated me with MCT Oil from coconut to deliver nutrients quickly to the brain* as well as organic sunflower lecithin, a phospholipid, to aid in omega-3 absorption and bioavailability.*
  • No fishy after burps or hard to swallow pills because a chef used organic pineapple and orange flavor to make me taste like a burst of fresh fruit - just spray directly into the mouth or onto food!
  • One bottle of Nothing Fishy Here has the equivalent omega-3 as 6 pounds of high quality salmon. Save a fish, spray some algae!
Approx. 30 servings per container. 17 calories per serving & packed full
of nothing but good for you and organic ingredients. 
DHA Omega-3 is a key nutrient that supports: Brain Health,* Working Memory and Cognitive Function,* Eye Health,* Skin, Nail and Hair Health,* Heart Health* and Prenatal & Child Health.*One bottle of Nothing Fishy Here has the equivalent DHA omega-3 of 6 lbs of high quality salmon. Other vegan sources (like flax or chia) provide ALA omega-3. Only 3% of ALA gets converted to the essential fatty acid DHA. 60% of the human brain is made from fat and DHA accounts for over 30% of those fats.

All Terrain Bite & Sting Soother Spray Review & Giveaway

Picture

All Terrain sells safe, effective products to help people live more active, healthier lives. All Terrain’s products try to disprove the myth that if the products contain natural-based ingredients, it can’t work as well as chemical-based products. The products are developed by and for outdoor enthusiasts for use whether trekking in the backcountry or relaxing with family in your backyard.  In addition to wanting people to live healthier lives, the company is based on caring and a desire to protect the environment.
Picture
I received All Terrain Bite & Sting Soother Spray just in time for summer. This is a must have in your purse, medicine cabinet and camping kits. It quickly soothes irritating itchy, bug bites and helps keep your skin from getting all torn up from scratching your bites too hard.

I spend a lot of time outside and it the garden. I am a total mosquito magnet. As soon as the sun even thinks about going down the bugs come out and start biting me. They even bite me through my clothes.

When the kids are out riding bikes and when we have family camping trips the bugs are hard at work stinging, biting and nipping at our skin. It drives the kids crazy. It's easier for us adults to hold back from itching than it is for the kids. They rip and tear at their bites until they bleed and scab over. All Terrain Bite & Sting Soother Spray

is a lifesaver for this issue. It comes in a easy to use pump spray bottle.  I was pleasantly surprised the first time I sprayed it. I assumed it would be a thin runny fluid that left an oily coating but it is not at all like that. 

It sprays on more like a lotion type consistency and does not drip away. 

Picture

It sits right where you shoot it and then rubs in wonderfully with no grease oil left over on your skin. It has a very light eucalyptus scent so it will not leave you stinking of medicine. 
Picture
All Terrain products are all natural and cruelty free so you can feel safe using them on your childrens skin. You can also feel good about purchasing All Terrain products because this company does not test on adorable little animals.

After more than 30 years of achieving the world’s highest certifications,Bambo Nature continues to innovate and research so they can meet an even higher standard — yours.
Picture

For more than 30 years, Bambo Nature products have been manufactured by Abena, a family-owned company headquartered in Denmark. Well known to the Danish people as an environmentally sensitive manufacturer, their baby care products have earned the highest level of credentials, awards, and eco-labels in the world.

Today, their family of baby care products include not only disposable diapers, training pants, and wipes, but a brand new skincare line as well. Each Bambo Nature product is designed to provide comfort and safety through their use of natural ingredients, materials and rejection of harsh chemicals and allergens. Importantly, their products have proven to be as strong and effective as they are safe and sustainable.   

Bambo Natures has the best products for your children. You can feel comfortable and safe using their product line on your little love bugs. I have had the pleasure of using their entire line. 

Splish Splash Bath Oil makes bath time extra soothing. It can be used either as an addition to your bath water to add moisture to your babies skin. We all want to keep our babies skin as soft and smooth as possible so I like to add this to their bath water as well as directly one the skin. I have replaced other baby oils now that I have Splish Splash Bath Oil.  After bath time you will want to place a small amount of Splish Splash Baby Oil into your palm and then massage it into your babies skin. I have found that this oil is less greasy than other brands. It has absolutely no scent at all. This is so perfect for children because you don't have to worry about allergies or irritants. I have found myself using this product as well. It leave skin smooth, silky and moisturized.

Picture

After you have added your Splish Splash Bath Oil to your little ones bath water you can wash them down with Buddy Bath Hair & Body Wash. I love this wash, it makes bath time a breeze. It has a handy little snap lid and it sits upside down an the lid so once the bottle is close to empty you don't have to smack the end and struggle getting the soap out. This is a soft body wash that works on every lil body part and is gentle on your babies hair. Bath Buddy is allergen-tested and contains no perfumes, parabens or dyes thus minimizing the risk of allergic reactions
​Time body lotion is such an amazing product. I actually have been using it on myself. My skin gets so dry and I am sensitive to lotions and product. Most lotions make me rashy and itchy so I tried Snuggle Time. It works like a charm. It's soft, soothing and doesn't leave skin greasy like some other brands. This is perfect for all babies. Particularly if your lil luv bug has sensitive skin or suffers from eczema. It is completely free of scent so all you will smell is your fresh clean baby.
Picture
Picture

Love Balm Soothing Cream is a bit different than the Snuggle Time lotion for a few reasons. It serves a different purpose. While it is super soft, smooth and works wonders on dry skin it also has a protective quality to it. This thick soothing cream helps to repel water/fluids. It helps shield your baby’s skin from excessive moisture. It creates a breathable protective barrier on the skin to keep it soft, smooth and nourished.

Bambo Nature Tidy Bottom Wipes are the perfect way to keep your babies bum fresh and clean without any  perfumes, parabens, dyes and optical brighteners,

Using Bambo Nature Tidy Bottom Wipes helps prevent rashes with its pure and natural ingredients. These wipes are made of a super soft cloth like material that promises to leave your baby smiling.

Bluapple VeggieZips Produce Storage Bags                       Review & 3 Winner Giveaway

VeggieZips solves the problem of vegetables needing humidity levels maintained while allowing for harmful ethylene gas to escape and fresh air into the bag.  The produce bag has U-Vent™ holes throughout the bag; fresh air goes in, ethylene gas goes out!  And, by using a damp HydroLiner™ with produce that needs to stay moist, a humid environment is created. However, not all produce needs high humidity levels, they can still dry out faster if left outside of a bag.  For instance, using a VeggieZips bag with a dry HydroLiner for strawberries, allows for moisture to be absorbed from the berries, but at the same time, they aren’t being dried out
​ with the circulated air from the refrigerator. 
Picture

Specially Designed Storage Bags Keep Produce Fresh Longer
I've been using Bluapple "blue apples" in my fridges produce drawers for many years now and love them. I even have a reminder email sent to me to tell me when to change my activated carbon out.
So, when I was asked to review the VeggieZips Produce Storage Bags with Hydro Liners
I was excited to give them a try. 
Of course, just like the original Bluapple product, these work great. 
My lettuce lasted double the amount of time then it normally would have.
Picture

For only $9.99 you get 22 bags plus 22 liners. 
Easy to use and even re-useable, just wash and let dry.
The liner will add moisture when needed. It works great with lettuce to keep it nice and crisp. 
In the above picture was lettuce from a bag already cut up. Usually this lettuce mix goes bad in 2-3 days of bringing it home, with using hte VeggieZips bag I was able to prolong the life to 6 days. Usually this salad mix doesn't last that long in my home but I wanted to use the bag to see how well it really worked. 
I was very impressed with this product, this is for sure something I would buy and continue to use in my kitchen. 
Produce isn't cheap, but it sure doesn't last that long. Now I have double security in my fridge, Bluapple has really come to the resuce to help keep produce fresh longer. 
Picture

The best way to store produce
Specially designed U-Vent™ technology control humidity while the HydroLiner™ controls moisture.
The patent pending HydroVent™ Freshness System has U-Vent™ doors that open and close to support active plant respiration, to allow balanced humidity and to permit harmful ethylene gas (C2H4) to escape. HydroLiner™ humidity managment pads may be used damp to help keep leafy greens hydrated, or may be used dry to absorb condensation when storing cauliflower and spinach, for example.
Effectively extends produce life!
Unique U-Vent™ Technology lets produce breathe by allowing air in and ethylene gas to escape.
The HydroLiner™ absorbs moisture and condensation when needed. Dampen to add moisture and hydration as needed. Use bags as a strainer to wash and drain in sink. Reusable bags! Wash with soapy warm water, rinse and let dry.
The perfect combination
​​Using a Bluapple® can extend the life of your produce up to 3X longer! Use with NEW! VeggieZips™ with HydroLiners™ to help maintain humidity levels for individual produce. Order both products today.

Luster Premium Whites Review

I really dropped the ball on this review. I wanted to get it up in time to pass everyone on a great offer to get a discount when buying this product but that offer expired today. I have reasons why but won't go into detail here.
But to be honest, deal or not this is a great product that everyone that has stained teeth should try. I have been using LUSTER PREMIUM WHITE products for many years. Since I am a big tea drinker my teeth stain easily. Using the toothpaste daily has been a life saver.
I now am a big fan of the Pro Light Dental Lightening System
my teeth look great. 
It adds that extra step in whitening that the daily toothpaste wasn't doing. 

Luster Pro Light Dental Whitening System

Something new to me from Luster Premium White is the above whitening system 
This unit is so easy to use and works great. 
Reverse Years of Stains in just 30 Minutes with Zero Tooth Sensitivity. ​
  • Visible results in just 30 minutes
  • Developed by dentists
  • Patented light-activated whitening technology
  • Dental office whitening technology
  • Causes zero tooth sensitivity
  • Enamel safe
  • Customize your whitening schedule
Did you know your teeth not only yellow from coffee, tea, wine and tobacco, but also age? Luster Pro Light works to reverse time by erasing years of stains in just 30 minutes using the same whitening light technology found in dental offices. Nourish and repair your smile for a flawless finish so you can smile with confidence.
​Includes everything you need: AcceleRinse to pre-treat teeth, a Whitening Serum with active dental peroxide, a Dual-Action Whitening Light for optimal whitening, batteries, a shade guide and quick-reference guide.

This product causes no teeth sensitivity. 

THREE EASY STEPS
  1. Pretreat teeth with the AcceleRinse to cleanse teeth for maximum whitening results.
    Pour rinse to the 10mL line in the cape of the rinse bottle. Swish vigorously for 10 seconds. Do not swallow.
  2. Whiten each tooth with the Stain Lifting Serum to lift surface and deep stains.
    Shake the serum for 3-5 seconds then apply it to the surface of each tooth you would like to whiten, avoiding the gums. Re-dip the brush as needed. Wait for 20 seconds for the gel to dry before allowing your teeth to come in contact with your lips or tongue.
  3. Activate the Serum with the Whitening Light for 2 minutes for faster, more effective whitening.
    Position the Whitening Light about 1" in front of your teeth. If you wish to rest your lips on the Light's rubber head, apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to prevent irritation. To avoid saliva build up, place a cotton ball or small tissues inside your lower lip and/or under your tongue. Press the button to turn on the Light, it will beep twice. Hold it in place for 2 minutes. The light will been again and automatically turn off when complete.
Repeat steps 1-3 for up to 20 treatments based on your customized whitening schedule. There is no need to rinse with water in between treatments.

Flavor Your Life & Zucchi Olive Oil Review

Flavor Your Life is a great site to use to learn all you need to know about Olive Oil, from uses, how to pick out the best one to how it's made. I was very impressed with this site and learned some things that have been very helpful to my Olive Oil needs. The recipies on this site are amazing. 

The Flavor Your Life campaign aims to educate North American consumers about authentic extra virgin olive oil from Europe. With funding from the European Union, the Italian government, and a consortium of European extra virgin olive oil producers, we are debunking misconceptions while empowering consumers — and sharing inspiring recipes that use liquid gold in everyday cooking.

What is Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
Made by pressing without heat or chemicals, known as first cold pressed, it’s the freshly pressed juice of olives.

Picture

​
Olive oil comes from the fruit (known as a drupe) of the plant Olea europaea, or European olive. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made by pressing without heat or chemicals. It represents the freshest and purest olive oil available.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is virtually free of acidity—below 0.8%. This is to assure its quality rather than its taste, because overly processed and rancid oils contain higher levels of
 oleic acid.

Olive oils are also tested for peroxide values. Lower values indicate fresher oil and more rapid processing, and are required for Extra Virgin designation. Each oil is judged by expert tasters, who must agree that it meets the high flavor standards of an Extra Virgin rating.

These experts also test for taste defects and the presence of positive attributes of fruitiness, bitterness and spiciness. If the oil doesn’t have the signature fruity
taste and harmonious balance it won’t receive an Extra Virgin rating.

Olive oil has a high smoke point (400° F), so it can handle anything from a light sauté to a deep (and deeply flavorful) fry. You can bake with olive oil, as well.

​

How Do I Check For Authenticity?
You can also look for the European Union PDO certification (Protected Designation of Origin – also know as DOP in Italian) or PGI (Protected Geographical Indication – also known as IGP in Italian). PDO certified products must be produced, processed and prepared in a specific region using traditional production methods and have the sensorial qualities attributed to that region. PGI is less strict and certifies that one stage of the process occurred in a specific region. Third party authorities constantly monitor these certifications.
​

How do you cook with Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

  • Experiment with different oils for different occasions.
  • Use delicate oils for salad dressings or as a condiment over mild foods, like vegetables, fish, eggs or potatoes.
  • Pair robust oils with hearty foods that can stand up to the intense flavor, like steak or spicy soup.
  • With a high smoking point of 400°F extra virgin olive oil is suitable for cooking and can enhance any dish by drizzling on as a finisher.
  • Store oil in a dark cool pantry away from heat and light, which causes decay.
  • 57°F is the best temperature for storing and beware not to store your oil next to the stove.
  • Make sure the cap is screwed on tight after each use to protect it from air.
