Sambucol Back-To-School & Healthy Party

I got to sample a bunch of Sambucol products with my friends, thanks to Tryazon. Sambucol makes immune supporting black elderberry products with tons of antioxidants, like gummies and syrup, both for adults & kids. Perfect for back to school! 

Everyone loved the gummies sample packs. Tasty and good for you! These guys are seriously a lifesaver during flu season.

For all your Christmas cookies!

OMG I love this tiered server from Portmeirion. Soo pretty! Available at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Mmmh Sandals!

These "Paige" flat sandals from Justfab are just gorgeous and look so, so comfy. Especially in blue!

Good and super simple dinner!

We had this chickpea-and-pea salad for dinner. Super yummy, didn't even need meat!

Waiting for Spring

It's right around the corner!

Raspberry Fig Bars?

These "Nature's Bakery" whole wheat fig bars are like grownup Fig Newtons. Really cheap, too, if you catch them on sale for $5-6 on amazon. Yum!

True!

Review: Sterline Counter Top Water Flosser

Woohooo! I was so excited to be chosen to test the new Sterline water flosser! I've seriously ALWAYS wanted one of these. I hate flossing and always heard good things about water flossers. Well, the Sterline is about as awesome as they come - this baby has 10 water pressure settings (start at the lowest one, is all I can tell you), 1,400 pulses per minute, and comes with six different nozzles including an orthodontic tip for braces, a tip for periodontal pockets, and a tongue scraper. The cord rolls up neatly inside the unit, and the tips store inside the lid!

After I got over the learning curve of keeping my mouth closed while flossing so as I wouldn't gush water all over the place, using WARM water, and NOT to use the highest pressure setting for my sensitive gums, I'm loving this thing! It seems well made, sturdy, doesn't take up a ton of space, and comes at a great price.

Only con: The unit is a little loud (fine at low pressure, a little more annoying at higher pressure), but it's tolerable for me (and the neighbors too, hopefully).

Review: Premium Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for Dogs and Cats

Yay! I received a huge bottle of Premium Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for Dogs and Cats from TerraMax Pro to review. And I mean HUGE (16 fl.oz.!). I like that the bottle came with both a flip top cap and a pump.

I've been wanting to try out salmon oil for our cats since one has a lot of dandruff and the other has allergic, itchy skin that he's been constantly scratching (we did the ridonculously expensive Food Sensitivity test with him and, turns out he's allergic to basically anything BUT salmon!). 

So, fish oil is good for all of us, and this one is actually pharmaceutical human grade salmon oil, containing the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA with over 15 different Omegas. Wow!

First, I put a couple of drops on a plate and let them sniff it. Both were, let's say, less than enthused and walked away. Fortunately, they only need a few drops of this per day (the bottle recommends 1/2 tsp per 25 lb of weight), so I started mixing it into their wet food. No problems here, in fact, after a few days, they were more enthusiastic about the food WITH the salmon oil than the one without. Success! 

I'll be keeping this bottle in the fridge and hope it won't go bad before it's empty. Highly recommended.

Spring Harvest

A Cat's "Meh".

Made some very yummy (and healthy!) banana oatmeal cups (recipe here). The cats were NOT impressed.

Valentine's Day Doughnuts!

TEEHEE OMGYUM!

Awww Sweet!

Starbucks snowman cookie. Almost but not really too adorable to eat!

 

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Shhh; It's a Surprise!

 

Rudolph, the... pink glittery reindeer?!

Sure, why not! If it's on an adorable Target holiday pillow like this one...

Cozy!

 

Just a quick FYI

Gotta love those pre-pre-pre-Xmas sales...

Fall Walk!

Enjoying the Fall colors while they last...

Mmh... Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls!

Thanks to free samples from Rhodes and Tryazon, we got to sample delicious cinnamon rolls! We compared the traditional "thaw-rise-and-bake" ones with the microwaveable rolls. They were both super yummy and cinnamony, but you can't beat the microwaveable ones when it comes to convenience - they're done in 60 seconds!

 

Beware!

Halloween is just around the corner. And so is this adorable 3-eyed sparkle monster from Target!

hello

 

Hello. I love this doormat. I want this doormat. I got this doormat (from Target). It looks great!

Yep.

I love this little reindeer metal bowl from Ten Thousand Villages. Perfect for nuts or candy!
