TEAS’ TEA Giveaway and Review Great New Packaging!

 I love my job as a blogger, especially when I get to work with special companies who I love and even enjoy their products more.

TEAS' TEA is one of the lovely companies and they have once again given me the chance to sample three of their teas (Plus a GIVEAWAY for 1 Lucky person below!) and to learn more about their great and New Packaging.

Yes, New and Improved Environmental Friendly Packaging.  I must admit I am not surprised as TEAS' TEA is so main stream and on the leading edge of fresh and healthy products.  This fantastic business continues to be a pioneer and leader in the unsweetened tea market the last 10 years+!  Keep an eye out next time you are in your local natural and mainstream market for TEAS' TEA.  The average price is a tasty and affordable $1.99 per bottle.

Look at and fresh three bottles of TEAS' TEA which I sampled....

Unsweetened Green Tea, Rose Green Tea and Mint Green Tea.

My favorite flavor I received was the Unsweetened Green Tea.  It was so clean and crisp.  It left me craving more of this Naturally ZERO Calorie Tea.  It was every think a Green Tea should be and more thanks to the packaging.

The Mint Green Tea was so refreshing and perfect for an after meal drink.  The mint was light and not over powering.  I was surprised how much I liked the flavor combination.  The Rose Green Tea was not on the top of my list.  But there was nothing wrong with it.  The Rose flavor was very light, but not my fav.

Are you wondering what is so new and improved with TEAS' TEA packaging?  Well, let me tell you...

TEAS' TEA has created a lighter weight PET bottle with a small cap.  Each bottle is only 18.7 grams...compared to standard bottles which are 24 grams.  Each bottle if fully wrapped to help minimize light exposure which in turn reduces oxidation of the All Natural ready to drink tea.  So the antioxidants of each bottle of tea are preserved, ensuring the freshness and potency of each bottle of TEAS' TEA.

Did you know by using recyclable plastic bottles (PET 1) instead of glass bottles...TEAS' TEA can s hip more tea in individual trucks, which saves fuel expenses and then reduces a carbon footprint!  I LOVE this company!!

TEAS' TEA - ITO EN was awarded the Grand Prize by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in Japan and the Environment Minister's Prize because they developed eco-friendly product made from their used tea leaves.  I had no idea used tea leaves could be used to make vending machines and even public benches!

PSCPets IntelliFlora For Dogs and Cats Review

Do you take supplements to keep your body healthy and working like a fine oiled machine.  How about your pet?  Yes, your family cat or dog.

I think many pet owners over look this important aspect of their fury friends lives.  I feel my family's two rescued dogs deserve the opportunity to thrive and live a healthy, happy and long life.

One way to give Lucky and Radar (our loving dogs) this chance is with the pet supplement IntelliFlora. 

PSCPets IntelliFlora can be enjoyed by cats or dogs.  It is easy to provide to your pets.  And I can speak from personal experience, my dogs can't wait to gobble up their daily breakfast.  The powder smells like dog treats.  As IntelliFlora is simply sprinkled over their food once a day.  The dosage is convenient as a small measure scoop is included in the bottle.

IntelliFlora is the perfect supplement to help you dog or cat maintain a healthy immune system.  It also can be used to help your pet if they are suffering from diarrhea.  The reason is:

IntelliFlora contains four different bacterial strains (Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus).  The combination of these bacterial strains are proven to maintain intestinal health and balance of your furry friends. 

Not only does IntelliFlora contains important bacterial strains if also is made of up vitamins and essential nutrients.  I was amazed to see how many different nutrients were included like: Manganese, Zinc, Vitamins C, A and E.  These nutrients are vital to help your dog or cat's metabolism, vision and immune system.

When I have researched similar products in the past, I noted most were only formulated for either cats or dogs...Not Both.  And these products were expensive.  So when I checked out PSCPets IntelliFlora I learned this product is formulated for both cats and dogs and is affordable.  IntelliFlora regularly sells for only $14.99 plus shipping and handling.

As as my Lucky dog will tell you....

 

IntelliFlora taste great!

Join in the LYSOL Healthing Initiative #Healthing

Are you cleaning or Healthing?

Now the spring has sprung, officially I want to share the new mission of LYSOL. 

The LYSOL Healthing Initiative.  This entire mission is focused on keeping families as healthy as possible.  I know personally from being a busy mom of three young boys, I would love to learn more to keep my family healthy.  I believe we can all continue to learn new ways to adopt a healthier overall lifestyle.

I love that LYSOL is embracing their new concept of Healthing.  It centers around looking beyond just cleaning and ensuring the the necessary steps are taken to stay well and to keep your family well.

I know I was curious to find out what extra steps I could take to introduce my family into Healthing.  I visited LYSOL's Healthing Initiative webpage first.  It was very easy and fun to navigate around.  And being a social media junkie and also found Lysol on Facebook too.  You can also visit these very useful sites to learn more about Healthing.

I learned the important difference between cleaning and disinfecting.  Which I never really thought about how different they are.  Disinfecting kills the germs on commonly touched surfaces which can lower the risk of spreading viruses and bacteria between your family and friends.  Both are necessary in Healthing process.  Learn more with the Free Healthing Guidebook.

LYSOL and tv personality Giuliana Rancic are taking Healthing seriously by partnering together to visit YMCA's in selection locations across the country.  During the visits LYSOL will provide the lucky to attend with hands on education about the steps and products required to help improve hygiene habits in their own homes; yet making the concepts fun and relative to children. 

LYSOL will also be given educational info and disinfecting products to the local YMCA's visited; along with a donation of a 1 year membership to a lucky and deserving family.

I think one of my favorite LYSOL products that assist my family with the Healthing Initiative is the LYSOL Healthy Touch No-Touch Hand Soap System.  It is such a safe and useful automatic soap dispenser. I leaned that it offers 10 times more the protection against germs than the leading antibacterial soap.

And I want to share my favorite Healthing Tip - Don't forget to disinfect places that you don't see or think about all the time.  I am talking about areas like door knobs, cabinet handles, refrigerator handles, cellular phones and even sink drains.  You will be amazing the first time you disinfect these areas, how dirty they are.  But, now that you have disinfected them once, you will more likely to remember to do it again and again.  So the routine of Healthing begins.

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for LYSOL^®. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating.”

 

 

Hugo The Happy Starfish - The Last Bully Book Review

Hugo The Happy Starfish - The Last Bully

 

Written by Suzy Liebermann

I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to review another book in the series of Hugo The Happy Starfish.  As a few months ago I had the chance to review Hugo The Happy Starfish - The Secret To Happiness and it was amazing.

As the inside of the book jacket states...."Happiness Begins With Respect".  What a truthful statement that I only wish the world could understand.  Hopefully with the help of Hugo and his "The Last Bully" adventure we can educated our children, how negative bullying is and what a little respect and a positive attitude can do to make the world a better place.

In this vivid ocean experience, the illustrations bring to life the valuable lesson about respect and what to do if you are being bullied.

This Hugo The Happy Starfish book incorporates important character education and helps teach a small amount of the Spanish language.  The Spanish words used during the story are also included in the back of the book in the vocabulary section.  The HUGO series supports the IB Leaner Profiles and Attitudes of the International Baccalaureate Program (PYP books).

I truly enjoyed sharing this important book and message with my 3 boys.  To give you a little insight into the story line...here is what the book jacket cover shared....

"Hugo is a little starfish and so it’s not surprising that in this story he comes across several bigger fish in the ocean. Sadly, they are bigger fish with the wrong attitudes – they are bullies! After seeing his friend getting bullied, Hugo decides enough is enough. He forms the Anti-Bully Club and teaches the bullies a valuable lesson about respect.

By working together as a group, Hugo and his friends manage to show the bullies that there is always a bigger fish in the sea and that happiness comes from respecting others not bullying them."

Each of my boys ages 4, 7 and 9 all appeared to understand the message in the children's book book about bullying. As a parent I feel it is important to teach respect and in turn help our children learn respect so when the are put into a situation where they are being bullied or witness someone else being bullied they will get help.

I am so passionate about this message that I am planning on having my school aged boys bring this book to school to share.  As I feel it helps address bullying in schools. 

I highly recommend this book to all and for more info on this book and the author you can go to www.MyStarfish.org.  And I also wanted to share the great news that as of the ended of February 2013 the 1st Hugo book The Secret To Happiness is available in 7 different languages through Amazon EBooks.

Remember this important message....

DON'T BULLY!

Check out this high quality Long Sleeved Tee with the catch phrase blazing on the back of this tee...

I'm The Daddy

I was delighted to see DaddyScrubs have kept on top of their game with this long sleeve tee.  I am certain it is going to hold up for a very long time and through a lot of washes (which any new parent knows...babies love to spit up, drool, have potty accidents and so much more....on your clothes....which requires a lot of extra washing).

Each I'm The Daddy Long sleeve shirt is made of 100% preshrunk cotton jersey knit material.  And from personal experience my hubby's shirt did not shrink a bit after repeated washes (and also did not fade).

I love that the sleeves and bottom hem are double needle stitches for extra strength and durability.  Along with the strength goes along softness too.  This shirt is so comfy.  Who knows my hubby may find me sleeping in it some night. lol 

The tapered shoulders and neck make for a nice fit.  This shirt is available in blue and black and in sizes...Medium, Large, X Large, 2X Large, and 3X Large.  At $29.95 a shirt....this price is a very affordable.  What a huge value considering the quality and workmanship of this shirt.  And one lucky winner will get to see that first hand.
