Jarritos

Saturday we had a little get together with a few friends to celebrate finally getting our new wet bar installed in the basement. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to bring out the sample pack of Jarritos I had to review.

Jarritos is a popular soft drink in Mexico. It is made in fruit flavors and is less carbonated than what I think of as pop! Many Jarritos varieties are naturally flavored and made with sugar cane instead of high fructose corn syrup most soda is made with.

We conducted some what of a taste test on the following flavors:

• Lima Limon – the general consensus was this tasted similar to sprite but with that extra sugar cane punch. We gave it 4 out of 5 stars!

• Mango and Guava – both received 3 out of 5 stars. I think if you really like the flavors of Mango or Guava, they are not too bad, but none of us were fans!

• Pineapple- everyone agreed that the pineapple would be great with some Malibu Rum and we came up with a great fruity cocktail. And if you go to their website you can click on drink recipes and get some great tips on using Jarritos as mixers. 4 stars!

• Mandarin – This by far was a clear favorite! 5 stars! Everyone agreed that it tasted like an orange popsicle!

My husband and daughter both tried a couple other flavors!! We really had a lot of fun trying Jarritos. I think they are very flavorful versatile drinks. The flavor of the sugar cane is similar to the throw back sodas that have made their way back into the grocery stores. If you are looking for something other than your usual soda, give Jarritos a try! Check out their Facebook Page and also their website www.jarritosnation.com where you can enter to win $10,000!!

dollie & me

My 4-year-old daughter was ecstatic when I told her she received a package in the mail. She was even more elated when I opened the big brown box and inside were items wrapped in bright colorful tissue paper. Imagine her excitement when she opened the presents and found a brand new baby doll along with a change of clothes and a matching outfit for her!!!

When I told her I was doing a dollie & me review and needed her help, she immediately told me, “it’s great, it’s wonderful, it’s the best doll I have ever seen!” Since the day she has received her “Ava” doll, she has slept with her, changed her clothes, and even taken her to the doctors when she felt she had a fever.

I was excited to see that they were Madame Alexander dolls. My family has collected the small Madame Alexander dolls for as long as I can remember, as a matter of fact, my daughter has my doll put up in her closet, and I am glad she now has one to play with. These dolls are well made with a soft body, manageable hair, and eyes that open and close.

We also enjoy visiting the dollie & me website. It has so much information on it and is set up so that both parent and child can enjoy it. You can check out new styles, play games, enter contests and even create your own photo frame!

dollie & me is also available in many retail stores, including: Kohls, Sears, Macy’s and Dillards. There are so many choices to choose from, dresses, legging sets, sleep, swim, toys, accessories, and bags. The possibilities are endless, especially in the eyes of a four year old. My daughter already informed me when we tried on her new dollie & me dress that she would be wearing it for her first day of preschool!

I think dollie & me would be a great gift for any young girl. The prices are reasonable for this size doll and the quality of clothing, especially compared to other dolls that are out there. So go on over to the dollie & me website and check it out for yourself. I’ll be there, I have some birthday shopping to do!

Next Review: Artistry

Today I received make-up to try out a review! This is the kind of review I like! I am sampling Artistry Skin Care and Cosmetics, specifically the Reflective Beauty Trend Color Collection! A great review is sure to follow!

PowerMat

If you family is anything like my family than you have too many power cords lying around the house. You are constantly unplugging one to plug in another. Well now that problem is solved! Buy a PowerMat today and you won’t be disappointed!

I had looked at many different types of power mats over the years and thought to myself, “why would I spend money on one when I can just plug my cell phone into the wall with the cord that came with it?” Well now not only do my husband and I each have different cell phones, but we also have an IPod and an IPhone and my kitchen counter looks like a spider web of wires. Many times when I would go to bed at night I would plug in my phone and walk away, just to find out in the morning, someone unplugged it to plug something else in. No more, now we have one of the best invention ever, The PowerMat!

This amazing charging solution simultaneously charges up to three POWERMAT ENABLED devices (plus one USB power port). Works with all Powermat Receivers. Adjustable sound and light indications give feedback that charging is occurring while a small magnetic pull ensures perfect alignment and optimal charging efficiency.
We also received a portable charging mat. It folds up and fits into a nice neat case, and also came with a Powercube Universal Receiver with 8 tips. It is great for other devices that are not able to be PowerMat enabled devices. Another plus to having the PowerMat and Powercube is that when guest come over and say, “my phone is almost dead” I can usually find a tip that fits there phone and they get to charge it up and have a worry free drive home! It has tips to fit just about any phone or device you can think of. I can not wait to use my portable mat this week when we go camping, no more packing all the cords to make sure we have power for our all important phones and IPods!

When you order a PowerMat you also have to order the receiver that fits your device. Once the receiver is on your device you simple plug in the PowerMat and drop your device onto it. You will hear the chime that lets you know you are charging! I also really like that the PowerMat cord has a built in cord wrap, so you can figure out how much cord you need and the rest gets wrapped around (like a vacuum cleaner) and keeps my counter looking clutter free!

This would be a great addition to your home for all your electronic charging needs. It also makes for a great gift for that person who has everything! I love this product!!!

The PowerMat

Today I received a PowerMat to use and review! I am so excited, it has been like Christmas around here and I have already cleared the tangled web of cords on my kitchen counter. So far so good! I can't wait to use this product. Stayed tuned for what is sure to be a great review

UV Protection Clothing

I know most kids like to run around in nothing but their diaper. Well I happen to have the opposite child. Jack is two years old and he hates taking his clothes off. I have tried to explain to him when he goes swimming, boys take their shirt off. When he decided he was not going to take his shirt off, I thought; “well I guess that will be less sunscreen I have to use but I still want him to be protected.” So when the opportunity came to review UV Protection Clothing by DuckSkinz, I couldn’t have been more excited!

SunSkinz are tightly woven with proprietary high-density yarn. The four way stretch fabric is comfortable to wear, dries quickly and stands up well to chlorine and salt water.
100 SPF / UPF 50+ Broad Spectrum UV Protection. Machine washable on delicate cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent. Hang dry out of the sun.

Sun Protection that won't wash off!

They have a great variety of designs for boys and girls, kids and adults; they also carry many different styles depending on your needs. They have, short sleeve, long sleeve, body suits, hats, and many more accessories.

I couldn’t wait to suit my little guy up, so the day the package arrived I had planned a trip to the pool at the club! It was a scorching 95 degrees out that day and I was thankful that I would not have to worry about his porcelain skin frying up! When I pulled the short sleeve shirt out of the box my son immediately starting acting out his best impression of Spiderman, it had a really cool design that looked like a web!

I dressed him in his Sunskinz protective shirt and off we went to the pool. We played outside at the pool for about 3 ½ hours that afternoon. I was extremely please with how well the Sunskinz shirt protected him all day, it kept him cool while he was just sitting by the side of the pool, and it dried off very fast once he was out to take a break for some french fries. This product stood up to everything it claimed it would. I would highly recommend this product to everyone!!
