SodaStream Giveaway!







I'll just cut to the chase, I LOVE THE SODA STREAM!


There are several different models to choose from, but the one that I received was the Genesis model. I got the Seltzer Starter Kit. The kit includes the following items:
  • 1 Genesis Home Soda Maker
  • 1 60 liter Carbonator
  • 2 Carbonating Bottles
  • 1 Sodamix Variety 12 pack
  • 1 User Manual
I also received two (2) Sparkling Naturals, seven (7) Soda Mix Flavors, and one (1) of the MyWater Essence Flavors variety packs (which includes three (3) different flavors.
First of all, let me tell you that this product gives you the ability to make your own soda whenever you want it.
No more stale pop in the refrigerator going to waste because no one will drink it. And I can’t blame anyone, I’m not going to drink it either. There’s more too. You don’t have all of those bottles and cans to lug from the store or into the house. You also don’t have all of the bottles and cans to throw away. Do you want more? Well, the soda mix flavors have no high-fructose corn syrup in the regular flavors, and no aspartame in the diet flavors. Sparkling Naturals contain no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, no artificial sweeteners, and do not contain any preservatives. I don’t know of any other soda pop company that will make that claim.
I found it easy to use. The only trouble I had was in pouring the syrup into the bottle. Perhaps they could have made it a wide mouth carbonator bottle, or a better pouring cap. I just use a small measuring cup with a spout and I don’t spill a drop. The machine is very user friendly. You use your own drinking water, put the bottle on the machine, and give it some carbonation. That’s all there is to making your water carbonated. Then just add whatever flavoring you like and you have a great drink.
I explained to you what all I received and I want to further break things down for you so you can understand it. Each soda mix flavor contains enough syrup to make 12 liters of drink, each sparkling naturals contains enough syrup to make 6 liters of drink, each bottle of MyWater essence flavoring will flavor about 20 liters of water, and each of the 12 varieties in the variety pack makes about a liter. Now, I have on occasion found pop for $1.00 a liter. Sometimes they even have the drink I prefer. Well, if I were to pay $1.00 per liter for what I received I could have bought everything cheaper and I still have the machine and can continue to make any future drinks for the price of the syrup. Coupled with the fact that it’s healthier.; no caffeine or artificial flavorings; no extra landfill containers and you don’t have to lug all those cans and bottles around.
The taste; that’s really the bottom line, isn’t it? If you like soft drinks, energy drinks, or flavored waters, you should like this product. In my opinion, it is as good, if not better than my favorite drink. I don’t like really heavily carbonated drinks and with this, I can add as much or as little carbonation as I like, Try to get THAT out of a can!

Alternative Uses For Pancake Mix

Alternative Uses For Pancake Mix
You may have extra pancake mix laying around and don’t know what else you can do with it.  Here are a few ideas:
  • Funnel Cakes: Simply mix up the batter with water and place it in a pastry bag or a plastic zipper bag and cut the tip off so you can squeeze the batter into the oil.
  • Shortbread: Just add sugar and cream.
  • Dumplings or topping for a pot pie: Add milk to mix.
  • Pancake mix basically consists of flour, baking soda, salt and sometimes dried milk so you may exchange pancake mix for any recipe that calls slightly sweet flour.
  • It is also the base for quick breads, and pizza crust.

Snickerdoodle Cookies (Made With Pancake Mix)

Here is a nice cookie recipe using your leftover pancake mix.  See my earlier post on alternative uses for pancake mix.
 Ingredients:
  • 3 cups dry pancake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups of sugar plus 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions:
Cream 1 1/2 cups sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs into bowl.  Stir in pancake mix with a spoon just until blended. Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.  Shape dough into one inch balls.  Combine 2 tbsp sugar and cinnamon into a bowl. Roll dough balls in the cinnamon and sugar mixture to coat them.  Place coated dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.  Bake 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees.  Allow to cool, then serve.

#Giveway for Dog Shampoo/Conditioner from #ECOSTORE!!


Eco Store has a wide variety of eco-friendly products. They have baby products, bath and body products, haircare products, household products, and pet products. Just naming off their lines of products has me out of breath.


Two of their products that I received are under their pet products. I received the

Herbal Fresh Shampoo and theLeave-In Conditionerfor review.


Just the fact that they don't contain chemicals is a major plus for me. Their website says that the" Herbal Fresh Shampoo is expertly designed to penetrate safely into the skin where it is most effective. Mild enough for frequent use. Safe for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens over 6 weeks of age", and it is a 12 ounce bottle.


The Leave-In Conditioner is a spray on conditioner. You spray it directly onto coat or into palm of hands and rub into coat for lustrous shine and easy detangling. Spray directly into mats or knots and let sit 5 minutes before combing. No rinsing necessary.
Safe and effective for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens over 6 weeks of age, and is a 4 ounce bottle.



I used the shampoo and let me tell you, it was the best lathering shampoo I have ever used. I've tried a lot of brands over the years and this one has them all beat. It lathered up great and rinsed out fairly easily. I probably didn't need to use so much shampoo, I'm just used to the other brands.



Next came the conditioner. The conditioner itself is amazing, however for our dog it wasn't enjoyable. Harley our dog didn't want to be sprayed so I had to spray it into the palms of my hands and rub it into her coat.



End results:



A very lush and clean feeling coat. I think this is a keeper for me. I would like to see an all-in-one shampoo and conditioner (only because I'm lazy... LOL), and Harley hates spray bottles.
EcoStore News:
February 1st we are PERMANENTLY lowering all of our prices, upwards to 50%
February 1st at 11am EST we are running a HUGE Facebook contest where the 1st 100 entrants will receive a full size product. Details will be given at 11am and you have to be a fan of ours to participate.
