LubeZilla ~Blossom Organics Pure Pleasure Female Arousal Gel Review & Giveaway

You all know Lubezilla from my last review... Now I had the opportunity to host another review for something a little tamer =)

Lubezilla sent me 
Blossom Organics Pure Pleasure Female Arousal Gel. 
This stuff works great just add a few small drop to the clitoral area and message in... before you know it you will have a very sensitive
 area that will last for a while.
Plus it has such a pleasant peppermint smell that will relax anyone and put them in the mood for a fun time.

Nature knows what it's doing, and when you want to get more from your intimate moments, there's nothing quite as effective as a 
pure, natural lubricant.

Blossom Organics' Pure Pleasure Arousal Gel provides a truly sensual experience. It features arginine, peppermint, rose hip, evening primrose, and other natural ingredients, which directly stimulate the nerve endings in sensitive tissues. Rub a few drops of the gel around the clitoris to stimulate the area, allowing for more natural lubrication, better sensitivity, and easier and more frequent orgasms.  
Deep stimulating effects will increase blood flow to the clit giving you explosive feelings never felt before.

There's no parabens, glycerin, alcohol, or any synthetic ingredients of any kind. It's completely safe for a woman's body, and the organic extracts deliver a delicate nurturing effect for your skin.
 Because it's a pH-balanced, aloe-based formula, you can safely use Pure Pleasure with all types of condoms and toys.

Raw Honey Review and Giveaway: Mohawk Valley Trading Co.

    Mohawk Valley 
Trading Company
Honey, Raw Honey, Beeswax, Maple Syrup

The Mohawk Valley Trading Company offers the highest quality unprocessed natural products we can produce namely; Maple Syrup, Maple Sugar, Honey, Raw Honey, Beeswax,Beeswax Candles, Handmade Soap and Natural Skin Care Products.

---

I received some wonderful products from Mohawk Valley Trading Co. 
Two of them are honey products, 
Raw Adirondack Wildflower Honey & Raw Tulip Poplar-Black Locust Honey 
I love using honey in hot tea's, peanut butter & honey sandwiches and recipes that call for sweeteners. 

Mohawk Valley Trading Co.'s states, If you are planning to use honey for its health-benefits, it must be raw honey. Heating honey (pasteurization) destroys the all of the pollen, enzymes, propolis, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, and aromatics. The rawest honey available is comb honey  (sections of the hexagonal-shaped beeswax cells of the honeycomb that contain raw honey that have been cut from the wooden frames of a beehive), however most people prefer bottled raw honey.

The Raw Adirondack Wildflower Honey I received is excellent. It came with a light capping. If you didn't know what a capping is, like me... it's small particles of propolis, flecks of honey comb and grains of pollen that pass through the sieve when raw honey is strained. Raw honey is often used by pollen allergy suffers to lessen their sensitivity to pollen by eating 1 to 2 tsp of it each day. The idea is that by introducing small amounts into their systems by eating raw honey, a tolerance to pollen allergens is built up. 

The Raw Tulip Poplar-Black Locust Honey is made From about the last week of October (after we harvest the Wildflower Autumn Honey) thru April some of our hives are trucked to The Delmarva Peninsula to winter over in a milder climate and to get an earlier start in the spring than they would in Upstate NY. Tulip Poplar and Black Locust trees bloom about the same time down there and this honey is derived form the nectar of their blossoms. Like buckwheat honey, it’s dark color is due to its high mineral content.Our raw Tulip Poplar-Black Locust honey is unheated, unpasteurized, unfiltered, unprocessed unblended and in the same condition as it was in the hive.

This honey is EXCELLENT. I have been using it almost daily on either morning english muffins, tea or toast. 

The Mohawk Valley Trading Company specializes in raw varietal honey which is made primarily from the nectar of a particular type of blossom or flower. To capture the unique character and flavor of the blossom or flower, beekeepers must study botanical bloom and flowering patterns when planning hive placement. 

Our raw honey is unheated, unpasteurized, unfiltered, unprocessed, unblended and all of the pollen, enzymes , propolis, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and aromatics are in the same condition as they were in the hive.

No pesticides or herbicides are used in our apiaries and although we do not call it organic, our honey is about as organic as you can get from The United States: 

If you like Honey or use it in lots of recipes you should use Mohawk Valley Trading Company's honey. 
One Lucky Viewer will get the above mentioned HONEY 

The following rules apply:

   You must be 18 years or older to enter.

·  The Mohawk Valley Trading Company will ship the prize to the winner within 30 days of contest end.

·  Physical address required for shipping; no PO boxes, US recipients only residing in one of the 48 contiguous states.

eKids Monsters University Scary Hairy Headphones - Sulley Review

Aren't these the cutest headphones you have ever seen?!?! The Sulley, Monsters University Scary Hairy Headphones by eKids are great for kids who are fans of the big, blue guy. They are designed to look like the top of Sulley's head; fur, horns and all. They are just the right size for their smaller noggins! The adjustable headband gives the perfect fit, allowing the ear pieces to fit perfectly over those smaller ears without being too loose and falling off. The soft, furry covering over the ear pieces makes them super comfortable and they don't cause any discomfort to my son's ears at all. 

My four year old son loves these Scary Hairy Headphones and that they feature Sulley and how soft and furry they are. I love that they are kid-safe with a built-in volume limiter that makes listening safe and he can't blare loud sounds directly into his little ears. Now, my son can play his games or movies and I no longer have to worry if he has the volume turned up too loud. 

The Sulley, Monsters University Scary Hairy Headphones by eKids are visually adorable, they fit my four year old son's head snugly and comfortably. They stay in place without falling off of his head. They are really soft, furry and fun for my son. If I were using them for myself, I would prefer that the volume be a little louder, but since they are for my son and I would prefer to protect his hearing, the volume is perfect. No complaints from him at all. 

If you would like to learn more or purchase these headphones, you can follow this link for more information. The Monsters University Scary Hairy headphones are on sale now at national retail and online outlets and cost around $20.00.

Octa TabletTail: Whale Kit Review & Giveaway

TabletTail is an interchangeable line of accessories for iPads, tablets, and e-readers, designed to give you more freedom with your technology. I was sent The Whale Kit for my review and giveaway. The Whale Kit is a really great accessory that works with all iPads and most other tablets and e-readers. The Whale Kit comes with two pieces, the first piece is the "bubble" portion of the WhaleTail that suctions to the back of your device and the second piece is the bendable whale "tail" that is the adjustable tail portion. The bendable tail can prop up your device in horizontal or vertical position. The WhaleTail Kit makes holding your device really comfortable and convenient and props up just about anywhere, holding your device very stable. This item is very lightweight, sturdy and I have to admit that it is really unique and cool looking. 

To adhere the WhaleTail to your device, you place the suction part up against a clean, flat surface and press (pump) the button. This will suck out the air and create a good suction on the device. Once you have a good suction on your device, just bend the tail to the position you want, prop up your device and enjoy! 

The TabletTail: WhaleTail Kit needs to be cleaned regularly, especially the suction part. It needs to be kept clean from dust and debris to ensure a good suction on your device. If you don't keep it clean, it won't stick as well and you risk it falling off of your device. 

I definitely recommend this product to anyone who has an iPad, tablet or e-reader! I have a Toshiba Thrive and it works perfectly and very reliably every time I use it. 

You can connect with Octa on their website, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Bella Viva Orchards Review & Coupon Code for 15% Off

Dried fruit and Nuts are one of my favorite sitting around snacks or to take hiking foods. I have had many different brands and kinds of dried fruits, but until you have tried Bella Viva Orchards dried fruit you don't know what dried fruit should taste like. 
Each piece you bite into is like your taking a bite of a ripe off the tree or vine piece of fruit. Each piece is moist and sweet, making it hard to just eat one piece. 

Bella Viva Orchards says: Farming the rich soil of the Central Valley is a Martino family tradition Bella Viva carries out with pride. We produce and sell exceptional fresh and dried fruit, nuts and chocolate to loyal customers at our stands in northern California's celebrated farmer's markets, in select restaurants and to our online customers across the country.

I was so happy when I received my Traditional Fruit, Nut and Chocolate Crate from Bella Viva Orchards for review. I had to immediately open each pack up and try them. 
The 1st thing I tried was the Chocolate Cherries. I am not a fan of cherries in chocolate but these were actually very good. I surprised myself and actually ate a few. They are Chocolate covered dried Bing Cherries dipped in savory milk chocolate with a top layer of rich cherry colored chocolate. Excellent! and very rich in flavor. 
My second item to taste was the Chocolate Almonds. I LOVED THEM! the chocolate they used on these super fresh tasting almonds was to die for. If you like Almonds and Chocolate you will want to order Chocolate Almonds. 
The third item I tried and the one I was the most excited to open was the Mixed Fruit. Just seeing the huge pieces of fresh fruit in the bag was making my mouth water. I love fruit and LOVE dried fruit. The bag contained large pieces of exquisite dried apricots, pleasing dried peaches, sumptuous dried plums, plump dried pears, appetizing dried apples and mouth-watering dried nectarines.My boyfriend stole almost all the dried apples right off the bat, they were so good. I went nuts for the dried plums, they were so sweet and juicy, better then any fresh plum I have ever had. EXCELLENT! is the best word to describe this bag of dried fruit. I have never had anything like this. I have even dried my own fruit and it never turns out this good. I know for now on when I want sweet juicy dried fruit Bella Viva Orchards is where I am ordering my fruit from. 
Last to get opened was the pistachio nuts. Just like everything else they were super fresh and excellent. The bag contained dye-free pistachios that are roasted and salted just right to bring out the delicate warm flavor. 

Bella Viva Orchards sells many single items, gift baskets & gift trays. ALL are very responsibly priced and until 3/30/2014 Bella Viva is offering Simple Side of Life viewers 15 % off when placing an order using code SIMPLE

Our aim is to supply the most effective, healthiest and most environmentally                                        friendly cleaning system available at a good value to the consumer.

---

I was excited when e-cloth allowed me to choose something from their personal care line. I choose the Exfoliating Body Mitt. I am usually a shower puff with lots of body wash type girl, so trying the e-cloth I knew would be different. To scrub my body without tons of body wash I thought would be really odd. I was wrong. The Exfoliating Body Mitt fits over your hand like a glove. You add just a tiny bit of body wash and clean your body like you normally would. The Exfoliating Body Mitt gently removes dead skin cells while you wash, it stimulates and tones the skin to keep it looking firm and radiant. It also eliminates excess oil and skin impurities from the pores, without the need for harsh, expensive body scrubs and skin peel products. Uses Micro-brush technology for a refreshing and deep clean. I have tried it with and without body wash. I like it both ways but I still feel cleaner when I use a few drops of body wash. I like that soapy feeling on my skin. 
I can tell that my new e-cloth is exfoliating my skin and helping get all the old dry winter skin off me. My legs were very dry the last few months. I get this way every winter, they are usually flaky and sore looking. Since using the e-cloth they aren't this way anymore. The dead skin is now gone and my legs have a glow to them. I don't itch as much after a shower and have been using less after the shower lotion all over my body. So far I love my new Exfoliating Body Mitt. 
The Exfoliating Body Mitt is ideal for those who suffer from skin irritations as a result of using chemically                 enhanced skin care products or for anyone that prefers the more nature approach.

The e-cloth Exfoliating Body Mitt is only $19.99 and well worth the under $20 price tag. I think the savings of using little to no body wash makes up for the price, in less then a few months you will save that much alone in not buying body wash. You will love your e-cloth just like I do. Plus ALL e-cloth products come with FREE Shipping. 

                 One lucky viewer of this review will win a e-cloth Exfoliating Body Mitt, Good Luck Everyone!

 I loved the box with the pretty brown bow, it was a great presentation. 
 After opening the  box I was amazed on the big chunks of toffee and the yummy buttery smell. I immediately opened the bag containing toffee to try a small bite of each flavor. 
The chewy buttery sweet toffee was delicious. Each piece had a different taste from it's outside shell.


 The Milk Chocolate Almond had a rich chocolate taste with large pieces of almond covering the outside layer of chocolate. The whole bit was so fresh and yummy tasting. 


Dark Chocolate Pecan had a great dark chocolate taste. The combination of dark chocolate and buttery toffee  blended perfectly in my mouth, putting a big i'm in toffee heaven smile on my face. The pecans added that special extra touch to make this the perfect flavor combination. 


White Chocolate Macadamia Nut like a slice of heaven that melts in your mouth. 
Usually I am not a fan of white chocolate, in fact I always turn down chocolate when it 
comes in the form of white. But since I love macadamia nuts I gave the toffee a try. 
I was amazed with how yummy it was.
 Again the buttery toffee molded between a layer of white chocolate sprinkled with macadamia nuts
was the most amazing thing to touch my taste buds. I thought I was in toffee heaven with
the dark chocolate pecan, I was surely wrong. 
Nothing beats the combination of white chocolate and toffee with an added bonus of macadamia nuts.

HTY Eye Gold Review & Giveaway plus $10 off Code

HTY GOLD sells some amazing products to make your skin fabulous. For the last two weeks I have been using HTY EYE GOLD and love the results I am seeing. I never really thought I had aging eye issues till I started using HTY EYE GOLD and noticed a difference in the way they look. My eyes hide behind glasses that I wear daily. But you can see through the lenses and the more I look the more I do notice I have aged eyes. 

EYE GOLD® is a powerful antioxidant eye cream. This gentle yet intensely effective eye cream is designed to prevent and conquer fine lines, crow’s feet and puffiness around the delicate eye area. 
Every morning after washing my face I apply a very small amount of EYE GOLD to the lower parts of my eyes and the sides. Being very careful to not get it in my eyes. I did the 1st day and noticed it didn't really burn but it did irritate my eyes. I then apply my daily face cream and makeup. Before bed I again apply the EYE GOLD to the same area's and my night cream to my face. After just one week I started to notice my eyes look better. They are smoother on the sides. I guess I did have a little bit of fine lines starting (so my boyfriend said) and I knew I had some puffiness but never thought anything about it. Now that I see it almost gone. I love it. My eye area looks radiant and smooth. 

HTY EYE GOLD is $50 but money well spent for a product that does work. The jar is 1 oz. you may think that's small but it's really not. When you think about the small amount you use twice a day this jar will last forever. I don't truly know how long it will last but I would have to say at least a year, for me at least. Like all HTY products EYE GOLD comes with a 30 day money back guarantee and free shipping. 

A little about The Creation of HTY Gold:

Patricia Kopas, co-founder of Pacific Specialty Oils, Inc., and co-creator of HTY Gold. I am 80 years old and married to George Kopas, a master chemist, who has worked with oils for over 50 years. I want to share with you the creation of HTY Gold.

I was born with a skin condition that required radiation and skin grafting. This condition made me acutely aware of the importance of having beautiful, youthful looking skin. Because of my condition, I had always sought the help of skin care creams and experts all my life.

Around the age of 68, I noticed that in spite of all of my efforts, my skin was becoming dry, wrinkled and crepe paper like, even though I had always used the best skin care products on the market. These creams all said that with consistent use my skin would always look youthful, and it didn’t. I realized, with great disappointment, that these greatly advertised products had failed me.

I became depressed because I knew that women with dry, wrinkled, crepe paper skin become invisible in today’s youth oriented society. I knew that if I couldn’t find a way to revitalize my aging appearance I would become another one of the millions of older looking women that no one looked at. I decided I was not going to give in to this aging skin problem.

I went to my husband George and asked him if there was anything he could do about my skin problem, since he was a chemist and knew the workings of the human body. Because of George’s knowledge of oils, he knew that the creams I had been using all my life were not the answer to my problem of aging skin. In fact, he actually laughed when he looked at the ingredients:

“Why would anybody think that these creams would work against aging skin? Look at the ingredients they are made with chemicals, water and preservatives. The water in these creams evaporate off of your skin and leave you with chemicals that can actually harm your skin. These creams are never going to conquer the aging of human skin or any other kind of skin for that matter. The reason skin dries up and wrinkles, is because as we age, our bodies reduce the production of the oils that keep our skin young and moist. Dry wrinkled crepe paper skin is caused by our body’s inability to keep producing the equivalent amounts of oil we had in our youth.”
I was astounded at George’s frank answers. I said, “O.K. George put your money where your mouth is. Make my skin look young again.” 

After 4 years of dedicated research, worldwide searches and extensive testing, he succeeded! 

When you go to 
NEWSLETTER SIGNUP 
on HTY's site you can sign up to receive a coupon good for $10 off your order. 

Plus one lucky viewer of this review will win the same 1oz  jar of
 HTY EYE GOLD that I reviewed .

Wantable Box Review

Wantable Box is a great way to get makeup products, intimates or accessories that you may not of otherwise bought, each month or just a one time thing.  You sign up for a Wantable Box, they ask you lots of questions to help tailor the box to you, then ship it off within days for you to see what they choose. I got a makeup box. I was asked questions like what kind of foundation do you like, lipstick colors, mascara colors, do you like lip liner, eye liners, etc. Then they put all that together and send you about 5 full size products to keep. I received two kinds of nail polish, concealer pen, eye shadow, mascara and face cream. I was happy with what I got, it was all things I would of bought myself but maybe not in the more expensive brands. I felt the cost of the box $40 (one time) $36 (monthly) was a fair price for beauty products that I might of otherwise never bought. 

A little about Wantable Box:
We are a startup in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that launched in August of 2012 to give customers hand picked, curated, boutique makeup, accessories and intimates in a monthly subscription box. We are a bit different in that we offer full-sized products and focus on being a discovery platform, which means that every box we send is different based on each customer's unique profile. Our subscription is $36/month or customers can purchase a single box for $40. Shipping is always free and you can cancel, return, or skip a month at any time!
 
We work with brands like Coobie, NCLA, Betsey Johnson, FACE Stockholm (sold at JCrew!), Color Club, Besame and more.
 
Each month the box is tailored to that month, if its cold, hot, warm tone time, cool tone time.... for February the weather is still rather chilly here at Wantable HQ, but our beauty products are in full bloom! We're loving creamy complexions accented with soft blush, punchy nails, and a pretty pink pout. Tie it all together with chic cat-eye liner to bring attention to your gorgeous peepers and you'll look effortlessly stunning. It's time to leave the winter woes behind and leap headfirst into the latest spring makeup trends.


HOW IT WORKS
We navigate the world of beauty to bring you the latest trends, personalized just for you.

Step 1: What do you love? Answer a few short questions so we can match you with the perfect products.

Step 2: Forever or for now? One-time purchase for $40, or subscribe for $36. Subscriptions are monthly and can be paused or canceled at anytime, no strings attached.

Zevia Soda Review & Five (5) Giveaway's each of a 6 pk's of soda

In 2007, amidst the rainy backdrop of Seattle, Zevia Zero Calorie Soda was born. Sharing our first flavors, naturally sweetened Cola, Lemon Lime Twist and Orange soda with the world became our mission, and we were welcomed with open arms; the good soda love was spreading as people made it clear they were ready for smarter choices. Zevia was embraced by people all around the world but none we knew better than our fans in the Pacific Northwest, as it was home. However, cold soda & hot sun seemed like a perfect fit so we up and moved to Los Angeles! Southern California became our new home, but a big part of our heart is still in Seattle. Our family of soda loving people has grown right along with the world’s passion for Zevia. So what to do when you have more Z team members? Make more soda, of course! Our little family of 15 flavors has grown as time has flown by. So what’s next? As more and more soda drinkers smarten up to the dangers of artificial sweeteners and sugar, Zevia becomes increasingly sought after. Stay tuned as the wave of good soda love makes its way to Europe, Central and South America, Australia and beyond!


Zevia is a wonderful ZERO calorie soda that has NO artificial sweeteners. That comes in numerous flavors. The sweetness comes from STEVIA, MONK FRUIT & ERYTHRITOL. In a bit I will explain what each of these mean. Right now when trying to eat healthy and stay fit as part of your New Years resolution switching from regular soda to Zevia soda is the perfect choice. To me usually zero calorie soda's have a yucky aftertaste that turns me off, I rather drink no soda then a no calorie. But once I tried Zevia last year I have now made that the only soda I drink. I am not a big soda drinker I much rather have tea, but I do enjoy it when eating certain foods like pizza. So my choice always is Zevia. Ginger Root Beer is my favorite and Black Cherry coming in a close second. Zevia has no bad aftertaste. You know what your drinking and you know you will have NO guilt. 
        
                Right now Zevia has a $1.00 off 1- 6 pack coupon by clicking HERE

               The three sweeteners Zevia uses to make their soda zero calories and yummy are explained below
STEVIA This plant based sweetener, originally native to South America, has leaves 200x sweeter than sugar and no caloric value or effect on blood glucose levels! In fact, all of Zevia’s Stevia comes from 100% US crop! 

MONK FRUIT is a round, green fruit grown on lush vines in small farms in the sub-tropical climate of Asian hillsides. Harvested by hand to release its natural sweetness, Monk Fruit is 200 to 300 times sweetener than sugar but contains no calories or effect on blood glucose levels. 

ERYTHRITOL is a natural component of fruits, vegetables and grains, and is classified as a sugar alcohol, even though it is neither sugar nor alcohol. It is obtained through a natural fermentation process, much like that of yogurt and has absolutely no calories and a zero glycemic index.

Black Cherry ~ Caffeine Free Cola ~ Cherry Cola ~ Cola ~ Cream Soda ~ Dr. Zevia ~ Ginger Ale ~ Ginger Root Beer ~ Grape ~ Grapefruit Citrus ~ Lemon Lime Twist ~ Lime Cola ~ Mountain Zevia ~ Orange ~ Strawberry

Tuna Squish Review & Giveaway

Do you love tuna but hate the mess it makes when opening a can? Or getting the yucky tuna smell all over your hands? Now you don't have to worry about that with Tuna Squish. It's a cute tuna shaped handheld can press that drains the liquid, removes and ejects the lid from canned tuna. Tuna Squish is a great addition to your kitchen & it's only $4.99 that's a great deal for a kitchen gadget. 

HOW THE TUNA SQUISH WORKS

• Insert opened can into Tuna Squish
• Squeeze handles, turn sideways to drain the liquid
• Separate handles, magnet in upper handle lifts lid off can, no digging for sharp lid = no injury
• Press release button, dump lid directly into trash

ABOUT TUNA SQUISH: We are tuna lovers. Tuna sandwiches, tuna salad, tuna pasta, tuna crostini or raw tuna…you name it; we love it. Not only do we love tuna for the delicious taste, the health benefits of consuming tuna are indisputable making it a top pick for healthy eaters, athletes or people looking for a boost in brain power. So we got to thinking…with all the tastiness and health benefits why are more people not enjoying tuna? We found the answer in four words: Tuna is a mess!

It’s common knowledge, preparing canned tuna is messy, smelly, leaves your hands sore and stinky from ferociously squeezing all of the unwanted juice or oil out of the can…not to mention the potential injury from digging that sharp lid out of the can with a fork or your fingers. Instead of accepting this as the end-all to tuna consumption we made it a mission to not deter from enjoying our favorite tuna dishes but rather find a solution to never touch tuna again.

After hours of research and testing, a simple, cost-effective way to eliminate the muss and fuss of tuna was born: The Tuna Squish.  With the use of the Tuna Squish the dream of not touching your tuna is now a reality.

When you use the Tuna Squish stinky hands and cut fingers are now replaced with the pure and personal enjoyment of consuming lots and lots of tuna dishes.

Simple. Easy. Delicious.

---

I love my new Tuna Squish and use it at least once a week. I never before had heard of something like this but when I was offered a chance to do a review for Tuna Squish of course I was curious on how it worked and wanted to try it out. So far I have been very impressed and happy with it. It's now one of the most used gadgets in my kitchen. 
Super easy to use, just open your can of tuna like normal with a can opener, insert the can into your Tuna Squish, squeeze the tunas tail and turn the can sideways into your sink. Separate the tuna tails remove your can of tuna and hold the lid over trash can, press the release button and the lid will fall right into the trash. Easy, Fast and Fun!

Caesar's Pasta ~ Gluten Free & Wheat Free Pasta & Entrees Review

If your like me and eat Gluten Free you will love Caesar's Pasta dishes. I have been taking one with me to work for lunch almost every day for the last few weeks. Each meal has an excellent fresh just made taste. 
I love anything pasta, but since eating gluten free I have stayed away from pasta dishes. Most all gluten free pasta is gummy or hard when cooked. 
I am not sure what Caesar's does but their pasta is EXCELLENT. 

A little about Caesar's: WE UNDERSTAND... Because of our intense passion for food, and our personal understanding with food allergies and intolerances, Caesar's Pasta continues to express our commitment in offering a variety of products that ALL consumers can safely enjoy.
Celiac Disease and other gastrointestinal issues prohibit many people from enjoying the timeless tradition of an Italian meal and we worked diligently to create great tasting, appealing pasta specialty meals for those on a gluten free diet.  It is really important for consumers to both like the food they eat and trust it; with our 42 years experience in the pasta industry, people can be assured that we use only the finest ingredients and are true to our brand.

To ensure the safety of our gluten free and wheat free items, our products are third party tested.  Although the government regulation is 20 parts per million, Caesar's tests consistently result in LESS THAN 5 PARTS PER MILLION FOR GLUTEN !  This is the result of our ongoing commitment and strong manufacturing practices. 

My favorite of all the Caesar's meals is the Stuffed Shells with Marinara sauce, at only 370 calories you won't have any guilt for eating it. The sauce has a homemade taste, with a few chunks of tomatoes. The shells are laying in the sauce stuffed full of ricotta cheese. This is a perfect lunch with or without a salad. 

Caesar's makes lots of other great Gluten Free dishes: Manicotti in Marinara Sauce, Cheese Lasagna, Vegetable Lasagna, Vegan Potato Gnocchi, Vegan Spinach Gnocchi, Chicken Lasagna, Beef Cannelloni in Marinara Sauce, Cheese Ravioli and Beef Ravioli, they are all excellent. 

Click HERE to find a local store near you that sells Casear's Pasta dishes. Or you can order online HERE. 

No matter if you are eating Gluten Free for health reasons or just to help with migraines like I do, 

you will love adding Casear's Pasta to your diet.

Yasso - The First-Ever Frozen Greek Yogurt Bar Review & Giveaway

             Greek Yogurt is the best thing in the world. 
     But Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars are even better. 
               Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Bar started with
CHILDHOOD FRIENDS & SPORTS
Amanda and Drew grew up in Easton, MA and met in kindergarten-probably during snack time. In high school, Amanda became one of Massachusetts’ premier soccer players and Drew clocked a 4:15 mile on the track. After graduating, Amanda attended Providence College and Drew attended American University, before transferring to Northeastern University. With a shared love of sports, they learned the benefits of a healthy lifestyle early on.

THE IDEA & HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
In July of 2009, Amanda and Drew teamed up after she was introduced to the idea of making frozen Greek yogurt while working as a food broker for her father, Stu. The two former Division 1 athletes embarked on a journey from scratch to create a good-for-you product of the highest quality in the frozen novelty category. After a degree from Ice Cream Camp (yep, seriously), countless road trips and over a year of research and development, they executed their first production run in September.

BUILDING THE TEAM
The first order of Yasso was delivered in March 2011. Amanda and Drew immediately focused their attention on in-store promotions, sampling, charity events, and social media. Consumers quickly became loyal fans, and Yasso was growing rapidly. Now staffed with a team of fun and energetic people, Yasso has become one of the fastest-growing novelty brands in the country. As they look to the future, Yasso will continue to create products that are delicious, nutritious, and authentic…the same values Yasso has had since its inception.

Now that you know about how Yasso started now you get to hear about what they make. Yasso has the best selection of Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars I have ever had. I could eat tons of Greek Yogurt, but when you freeze it onto a bar it makes it even that much better. Especially when you have flavors like Peanut Butter Cup, Strawberry, Vanilla Bean & Dark Chocolate Raspberry. Then you bring in the fact that most of the bars are around 80 calories and all are packed full of 6 grams of protein. You can't go wrong. 
My favorite Yasso Frozen Green Yogurt Bar is 
Strawberry: Inspired by this household staple, we’ve taken the distinctive flavor of this sweet and bold berry to craft a delicious strawberry treat that is appropriate for “anytime” consumption.
But they are all excellent. I love that Yasso makes these bars with NO Artificial sweeteners, rBST - free milk and natural ingredients. 
Each box you purchase contains 4  yummy bars and where I live (Arizona) cost about $3.50 a box. My boyfriend and I usually have one each night as a after dinner snack/dessert. You get very little guilt from eating them since you know what you getting in each bite. 

                                                          Here is a little something about EACH flavor. 

Chocolate Fudge: 
Who doesn’t love chocolate? Our top-requested flavor is finally here! This classic frozen flavor has had a healthy makeover, so now the childhood favorite can be enjoyed every day for just 100 calories per bar.

Mint Chocolate Chip: 
This nostalgic ice cream flavor can now be appreciated every day! Creamy mint Greek yogurt with a generous helping of chocolate chips, all at just 100 calories, 0 percent fat and 6 grams of protein. Old school satisfaction with a new school twist.

Dark Chocolate Raspberry:
One of Yasso’s original flavors with a new, delicious addition. A rich, dark-chocolate coating makes this Yasso favorite the perfect 1-2 punch. Raspberry covered in chocolate for only 110 calories and 5 grams of protein… guaranteed to be a household favorite!

Sea Salt Caramel:
Sweet caramel frozen Greek yogurt with a silky-smooth swirl of salted caramel blended throughout. At 100 calories, no fat and 6 grams of protein, this flavor makes for the ideal after dinner treat… or even a great mid-day snack!

Peanut Butter Cup:
Okay peanut butter enthusiasts, we’ve got your fix. Smooth peanut butter Greek yogurt wrapped in dark chocolate makes for the perfect treat… and it’s only 130 calories with 6 grams of protein to boot!

Raspberry:
With the freshness of biting in to a ripe raspberry, we use real raspberries mixed with authentic Greek yogurt, creating a delicious and healthy frozen snack. Try one in the morning as an on-the-go breakfast!

Blueberry: 
Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, nutrients and vitamins. With the help of these little berries, our Blueberry Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars are not only delicious, but they also have a great impact on health.

Strawberry:
Inspired by this household staple, we’ve taken the distinctive flavor of this sweet and bold berry to craft a delicious strawberry treat that is appropriate for “anytime” consumption.

Vanilla Bean:
Not feelin’ fruity? Never fear – you can stick with the classics too. We’ve taken the timeless vanilla bean flavor and crafted a great cool-down treat for the summer, giving you a traditional taste with an un-traditional calorie count – only 80! WOW!

Mango: 
Real mango purée makes these a delicious treat throughout the year. Whether it’s to beat the heat or fight a cold (a whopping 60% of your recommended daily vitamin C!), this is one treat you can always feel good about enjoying.

Coconut:
We’ve embraced the fun and tropical trend of coconut and created something truly delicious. With shavings of real coconut and rich Greek yogurt, this decadent and tropical flavor provides a refreshing snack at any time of day.

All the bars are EXCELLENT, just pick a flavor you know you will enjoy and get a box today at a store near you.

Skoy Cloth Review and Giveaway

The Skoy Cloth is an innovative cloth that comes in an array of colors and designs and takes the place of your paper towels, sponges, rags, dishcloths and more.  Skoy Cloths are a great alternative to cleaning with sponges or using paper towels. After using a paper towel just once, it is discarded and then it ends up in the landfill. Skoy Cloth  is reusable and washable; it can last a very long time. Using one Skoy Cloth is the equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels! With the high cost of paper towels, as much as $2.00 per roll, Skoy Cloth is the obvious choice for your wallet and the environment. Just think of the amount of waste and money that could be saved just by switching from using paper towels to using Skoy Cloths. 

The Skoy Cloths are very absorbent. You can use them to clean many different surfaces. I was sent a pack of four Skoy Cloths for my review. I use two of those in the kitchen, another one is only used in the bathroom and the last one, I use in my office and living room. I love the different colors that they come in. I know not to use my orange Skoy Cloth in my kitchen because I use that one only in the bathroom. 

The Skoy Cloth itself  is really easy to clean. It is diswasher safe, microwavable (as long as it's wet), and can also be washed in the washing machine. I prefer to wash my Skoy Cloths in the washer and then toss them into the dryer. 

Skoy is available in all The Container Store locations and select Cost Plus World Market locations too. 

The Skoy company has a new fundraising program for schools. If you would like to learn more, you can find the information about the fundraising program for schools here. 

You can connect with Skoy on their website, their online store, Facebook and Twitter. 

One lucky Simple Side of Life reader is going to win a pack of four Skoy Cloths! Follow the instructions on the Rafflecopter below to enter.

Sprayology Homeopathic & Vitamin Oral Sprays Review

Sprayology marries science and time-honored natural medicine with convenience and innovation to enhance healing and well-being naturally. Sprayology re-defines wellness and makes it easy to incorporate natural products into your daily life for better health naturally.The MissionTo help people feel better naturally by providing quality, effective, easy to use wellness products.

Sprayology was founded over ten years ago because of the needs of its founders who were dealing with physical disillusionment, aging, illness and a lack of natural options to help them live better. Founding sisters Patti Connell and Ellie Whalen believed at the core they were healthy, but were both taking multiple conventional medicines daily to deal with asthma, fatigue and stress. They realized that they were still not experiencing the health they were seeking. While searching for options they realized that homeopathy and natural products in general where not easy to understand, consistently effective or enjoyable to use. These experiences and their desire to modernize homeopathy led to the foundation of Sprayology. The sisters chose homeopathy as their daily option to become healthier because it is effective, safe, has no side effects and can be taken with other medicines. They created Sprayology so to raise the bar and make the experience of using homeopathy both effective and enjoyable.

I have been using a few products from Sprayology for a little over a month now and have seen lots of results. From my thyroid being removed year ago I also lost the part of me that makes calcium in my body. So daily I take apx. 6-10 calcium pills. This still doesn't do the trick and my body is for the most part usually very low on calcium. I know this because my lips get extremely numb along with the sides of my nose and my eye sockets. It's annoying to say the least. Since I received Bone Builder from Sprayology I have been using it everyday. Just 2 sprays under my tongue 3 times a day, breakfast, lunch & dinner does the trick. I have been able to cut my calcium intake down to 6  or less a day. This is huge for me. I no longer have numb face daily. My doctor was also impressed with how well my blood levels have been. I thank it all to the help I got from Sprayology. Bone Builder supports bone integrity and strength and relieves symptoms including:

• poor calcium absorption
• discomfort of joint inflammation
• tenderness of aging or injured bones, discs and cartilage

Recommended for: people wanting to maintain bone strength
as they age and for those with bone density and calcium absorption issues.

Another great spray I have been using from Sprayology is Women Power. REJUVENATES THE FEMALE BODY
Women Power relieves the symptoms of low female energy such as:

• decrease in sexual desire and vitality
• low physical energy

• irritability
• "the blues"

Recommended for: women who want to rejuvenate their body and increase
their sexual desire and pleasure naturally.
This stuff really works, again just 2 sprays under your tongue 3 times a day. You will notice a difference in about a week or so. I was impressed too with this product. 

The last Sprayology product I tried and the one I think would be the most useful to the whole family is Cold + Flu. 
This spray has been great when I start to feel a cold coming on. Just 2 sprays under the tongue each 30 minutes as needed for symptom relief the first day, 2 sprays 3 times a day thereafter. 
Temporarily relieves the symptoms of colds and flu including:

• sinus congestion
• achiness

• chills
• headache and fever

Recommended for: people looking to relieve sinus congestion, fever, 
achiness, chills and cold-related headaches naturally.
I actually started using this again today. I woke up just not feeling good and by mid-day my throat was killing me. Of course my son had just been up visiting over the weekend and was sick, I am guessing he passed it onto me. Darn kids! 

               Right now Sprayology is offering 10% off two great products. Daily Multi & Diet Power

Hot Dogs!
Keeping your dog’s skin and coat in good shape is an important part of boosting health and well-being. Different dog breeds have different grooming needs, so it may be beneficial for you to speak to a professional groomer about your dog and his or her individual grooming needs. There are a number of different services that fall under dog grooming, including bathing and brushing, trimming and shaving, nail trimming, ear cleaning, eye cleaning, and teeth cleaning. Some of these things should be done by a professional groomer or a veterinarian, though others can be done in the comfort of your own home if you have the right dog hygiene and dog grooming products on hand.

John Paul Pet provides pet care with a salon pedigree. John Paul Pet products are solution-based products for your dog created to address the most common grooming needs:

• Odor
• Shedding
• Unpleasant breath
• Tear stains
• Dirt and dander
• Build-up around eyes and ears
• Dry, itchy, flaky skin and coats

Daily maintenance is a wonderful way to bond with your dog.

Incorporating grooming and hygiene practices daily also allows you to monitor any changes in your dog’s appearance and health. Daily cleaning of your pet’s ears will help deter pests and odor causing buildup from accumulating. By cleaning your pet’s eyes you remove tear stains, odor, and residue.

Nationwide, dental disease affects 80% of dogs over the age of three. Therefore, proper dental care is essential. In addition to having your pet’s teeth cleaned professionally by a veterinarian or groomer, home care with a tooth cleaning pet wipe is highly recommended.
