Sodastream Review and Giveaway

Sodastream
When I first heard about Sodastream, I was amazed and I knew I had to try it! At our house we drink a lot of soda or “coke” (because in the South everything is called a coke regardless of brand or flavor. hehe).
And I knew this would be a convenient product to own, and not to mention, it’s just fun!
Needless to say, I was thrilled when I got the opportunity to write a review for Sodastream!
If this is the your first time to hear about Sodastream, you may want to check out this video to see how it works:

My Review: I received the Genesis. The only assembly required is placing the carbonator inside the machine. (This is easy enough.) And the whole process was really just as easy as it shows is in the video. I was highly impressed!
I also love that Sodastream offers a variety of flavors.  It has a Sodastream version of all the popular brands such as my favorites Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper, and Mountain Dew.  They also have diet varieties for my husband.  
And then they also have their own energy drink, comparable to Red Bull, and they have fruit flavored drinks like Lemonade, Cranberry-Raspberry, Green Tea Strawberry Kiwi, and more!
So far I’ve tried the Dr. Pete (their version of Dr. Pepper) and Fountain Mist (their version of Mountain Dew).  And my husband has tried the Diet Cola.  Each of these were pretty tasty and comparable with the originals.  
Overall we’re happy and very excited about the product, and I can’t wait to try other soda flavors!
Connect: Connect with Sodastream on  Facebook and Twitter

Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™ Concentrated Planting Mix Review & Giveaway

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
EnG Product Shot.png

We’ve had kind of a strange winter around here, but I think the warm weather might be hear to stay for a while (knock on wood).  And this means it’s going to be time to get out in the yard and do a little a little yard.

I have to admit, my husband does the mowing and most the hard work, but I do help with the flower beds and the general clean up.  And regardless of who’s doing what, I’m always interested in finding products that can make our yard work easier!


As we get ready to tackle the yard this spring and summer, I’m excited to try this new Miracle-Gro®  Expand ‘n Gro™ Concentrated Planting Mix.  Here are some of the benefits you get from it:
• Up to 3X the Flowers and Vegetables!* *versus native soil
• Significantly improves soil for multiple years
• Concentrated planting mix expands up to 3X when water is
added
• Feeds for up to 6 months
• All natural fibers hold up to 50% more water than basic potting
soil

Personally I can think of a few different ways in which I’d like to use this. For one, I’ve got a tree in my backyard that needs to be transplanted, and I think the Expand ‘n Gro would be great  to use for the transplanting process.

Also, I was at the store the other day and saw some buttercups (daffodils) for sale. They are my favorite flower, and it would be so great to have some planted around the house.

Here’a quick video to show you how Expand ‘n Gro works!

Giveaway! One Simply Sweet Home reader will win a sample of  Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™ Concentrated Planting Mix.

Yoohoo & Friends WannaBe Giveaway

Photobucket

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you’ve likely seen the adorable products of Aurora World.  They’ve got some of the cutest toy animals around, including Yoohoo & Friends and Milly the Pinkest Kitten.  And today Yoohoo & Friends are back for a visit!

But these aren’t just any Yoohoos! They are the new line of Yoohoo & Friends “WannaBes.”  
Like the original Yoohoo & Friends toys, they’re extra soft and feature the big bright eyes and big fuzzy tails, but these little guys are in disguise!

Photobucket

I think these might be the cutest Yoohoo & Friends toys yet! They come in 8 different varieties, and as you can see each is wearing a costume!  And like the original Yoohoo & Friends toys, they make a sound when you squeeze them, except these little guys make a noise like the animal they are dressed as! Too cute!

And as if they weren’t cute enough, you can even pull off their little “animal hood.”  Love it!

I received the tiger!  This was a random shipment, but I was really happy to get the tiger, because I love tigers and cats, and the tiger is my high school (home town) mascot.  Of course, the tiger is super cute, and I love his little roar!

Robby Wash Ball Review and Giveaway

Photobucket

This week I’ve got a product to share with you that’s going to make laundry a breeze!  The Robby Wash Ball is the equivalent of about 12 months  (or 120 washes) worth of laundry detergent! It works in both hot and cold water and works to get your clothes fresh and clean without additional detergents or add-ins.

Robby Wash Ball works with both front and top load washers, and it’s very simple to use.  Simply throw it in with the wash, and just refill the ball when the level of maco-molecule pellets is less than 75% full.
So why try the Robby Wash Ball?  Here’s a few reasons:
  •  It’s hypoallergenic, so if you or your children have allergies, this is a must-try product.
  • It’s economical, at $32.95 for one ball.
  • It’s environmentally friendly.
  • No lugging detergent bottles and boxes from the store.
  • Also, it’s a great space saver for your laundry room, and it’s especially perfect if you’re in a an apartment or dorm
Here’s a video that shows you more information on how this little ball works:

Natural Dentist Review & Giveaway

Photobucket
Unfortunately I’ve had my share of dental problems. In fact, I just shelled out a pretty penny to have some dental work done, so when I had the opportunity to try Natural Dentist Healthy Gums Anti-Gingivitis Rinse, I jumped at the chance! 

Dentists estimate that 80% of us develop gum disease in our lifetimes. If left untreated, however, gum disease may progress to other oral health issues, including tooth loss, and other studies and experts have also linked gum disease to heart disease, stroke, breast cancer and respiratory diseases.
And some of the risk factors for developing gingivitis include:
  • Poor dental hygiene
  • Pregnancy/puberty/menopause (hormonal changes increase the sensitivity of the gums)
  • Uncontrolled diabetes
  • Genetics/family history (30% of general population susceptible to gum disease)
  • Smoking
  • Stress
  • Medications
  • General illness
And the early warning symptoms are gum inflammation and bleeding (pink in the sink). If you have these symptoms or have a family history of gum disease, you should see a denist and stick to a regular at home care regimen.

Photobucket

Here’s a few facts about Natural Dentist Healthy Gums Anti-Gingivitis Rinse and why you may want to add it to your daily regimen:
  •  Reduce and prevent bleeding gums
  • Protects against gingivitis
  • Kill germs
  • Reduces plaque
  • Freshens breath
  • Contains Aloe Vera gel as its active ingredient to help prevent bleeding gums.
  • Also contains other natural medicinal components such as Echinacea, goldenseal, calendula, and grapefruit seed extract that help calm gum inflammation
My Review: Personally I like that the product contains natural ingredients. Previously I had not tried a mouth wash like that, so I found this feature very interesting, and I was very intrigued that aloe vera was the active ingredient.
Another thing that attracts me to the product is that it doesn’t burn your mouth like a lot of other mouth washes. I don’t always like to use mouthwash or don’t always use it properly (as in, I don’t use the right amount, or I don’t rinse for the right amount of time) because I can’t endure the burning sensation, but with the Natural Dentist brand you don’t have this problem.
I tried the Peppermint Twist Flavor. The taste is very different from other mouth washes, and kind of hard to describe. I’d compare it to the difference between an at-home fluoride or prescription toothpaste versus your basic everyday toothpaste.
