Product Review- Yacon Syrup

Quality Life Essentials sent me this Raw Yacon Syrup. It's made up of 100% pure yacon syrup and serves as a metabolism booster, and an all natural weight loss supplement. It also serves as a natural source of prebiotics.

For all those on diets, it is
-milk
-egg
-shellfish
-peanuts
-wheat
-soy
-gluten free.

The suggested use is 1tsp 3x daily.

If I were to describe the product, it is brown like mollassas but not thick or bitter. It has a slight coffee flavor and very, very sweet. The more you taste it the better it goes down.

Product Review-Sanford Sharpie Products

First of all sharpie is one of my favorite brands because of the quality and beauty of their products. I was sent 3 Sharpie products to try out, and of course had a blast doing so.

The first was a Sharpie Premium Pen.It looks extremely professional and writes like an excellent business pen. The tip is very fine but durable. The ink is acid-free, water, smear and fade resistant. You can even refill the pen so you never have to buy another one! Let me tell you this is a business man/woman's dream pen.

If you unscrew the top black part you can refill the pen. The sleek silver design is very fashionable in my opinion. Want one for yourself? Go here

The next set of Sharpies I received were Neon Permanent markers, a set of 5. They had fine tips but made bold, detailed lines. The colors were very vivid on the white paper I used to test them. These Sharpies are especially neat because they glow under black light. They are perfect for decorating things before going to a party or the club. You can use them on paper, plastic, glass, wood, leather or even your fingernails!

There is so much fun stuff you can use these for! I am all about the neon!

The third and final product I received, which was my favorite, was a set of metallic silver and gold Sharpies. The color was gorgeous! They were almost like paint pens but drew very evenly and dried quickly. The ink is fade and water resistant as well. They have fine points but it doesn't take much to get a beautiful effect.

Both the silver and gold showed up very nice against the black paper.

You definitely need a set of these! Get them here

Product Review-Ozeri Green Earth Pan

I was sent this amazing Green Earth Pan by Ozeri to try out. I reviewed a really cool pan by Ozeri Check it out here!

When I first pulled the pan from the packaging I noticed the gorgeous green color. Green is one of my favorite colors so I was pretty excited about that. I'm slowly trying to replace my kitchen gear with green. It's currently many different colors and nothing really matches since most of it was donated, but that's okay I'm just happy to have something to cook with.

The pan is coated in natural ceramic and free of PTFE, PFOA and other harmful chemicals. Even under high temperatures the pan will never release toxic fumes.

As with any non-stick pan you don't want to use any sharp utensils so as to not scratch the surface. It is recommended that you hand-wash the pan but it is dishwasher safe which is a pro for busy moms.

The handle is coated with heat resistant rubber so it's not hot to the touch while cooking. After cooking clean your pan with hot, soapy water and dry with soft cloth. If a residue builds up use lemon juice or vinegar to remove it.

I'm really in love with this pan, it's such high quality. I wish I replace all my pots and pans now!

Product Review-Copy Kids DVD

"Copy-Kids is a DVD series designed to get very young children excited about eating fruits and vegetables.

Simple.  Adorable.  It shows kids having such a good time eating fruits and veggies, that when children watch it they want to join in.

Featuring well-known pediatrician, Dr. Jay Gordon, this product is a positive approach in the quest to get children eating healthy from the start."

The dvd is broken down into chapters featuring 1 fruit or vegetable. There are bell peppers, carrots, blueberries and bananas...just to name a few. From the main menu you can pick the individual chapter you may want to play to get your child to eat that particular fruit or vegetable. Or you can play the whole dvd while they watch for fun.

 

I watched the dvd with my 3 and 5 year old. At first my 5 year old was like, "Why is that kid eating food?" But they both enjoyed the movie and asked for each vegetable or fruit when it came on.

Haley wanted to enjoy some blueberries...

She even ate a carrot, which she normally isn't too excited about!

Product Review-Ozeri Digital Bath Scale

Ozeri contacted me to review their super cool digital scale. When I first saw it, I was struck by the really neat digital readout. It looks like the speedometer in a race car! When you step on it, it lights up and the dial slides to the weight. The weight number appears on the screen. The scale features StepOn technology so it might look like it is turned off, but as soon as you step on it, it begins to work. The scale platform is made with tempered glass, so don't step on it wet as it might be slippery, but it is super easy to clean. Another cool feature of this scale is that it has an alarm so you can remember to weigh yourself at the same time everyday.

 A picture of my scale

 

Here is the scale in action. Isn't the speedometer thing so cool!? And yes that is my true weight. (I'm only 5'1" so don't tell me to go eat a burger haha!)

 



The bottom of the scale has nice non-skid pads.

Here is the in depth product description...

This professional quality scale features an oversized platform made of impact-resistant tempered glass with slip-resistant feet for ideal stability, and a new built-in alarm that reminds you to measure your weight at the same time each day. The Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale uses 4 high precision GX sensors that weigh up to 400 lbs (180 kg) in 0.2 lbs or 0.1 kg increments.

Product Review-Personalized Decals

I was contacted by Kidecals to do a review of their awesome decals. These decals are neat because they "stick to any surface – including clothes – and are waterproof, dishwasher & washing machine safe! Stick these personalized kids name labels & kids name tags on easily lost items such as water bottles and mittens so they get quickly returned! With over 80 decal and label designs to meet trends and interests, there is a style of personalized labels for everyone – even grownups! "

They are PVC free and can be removed or repositioned. I really love their Computer keyboard stickers they make a laptop more personalized and just so much more fun!

They have awesome designs for boys, girls, kids and even adults!

These are the ones I had made for our family. I chose the surf theme since it's my husband's favourite hobby and can be used by the girls and boys in our family. The big ones are about 2" and the smaller ones are 1". (I blurred the number out so strange people don't call me lol)

My husband was pretty excited and put a small one right on his surfboard. The cool thing is they are waterproof so it will stay on there a good long while.

Review-Match DNA Certified Organic Matcha Tea

I was sent this bag of powdered organic match green tea. If you are a green tea drinker, or just a tea drinker in general you need to try this stuff! It's packed full of good stuff for ya!

"One glass of MatchaDNA™ may be the equivalent of 10 glasses of green tea in terms of its nutritional value and antioxidant content." Wow, that's a lot of antioxidants in one glass! The cool thing is the package comes with 34 smaller packets that are easy to open and poor into hot water for a hot glass of tea. I like to sweeten mine with just a bit with sugar. Not into hot tea? Add a packet or even two to a shake. I add one to my vanilla protein shake and although the color looks a bit weird you can barely taste the tea.

Here is a picture of the packet.

 

 Making hot tea!

 

 

The nice thing about this powder (not sure if you can tell by the pic) is that is dissolves easily. I've had trouble with different drink powders clumping on me big time but the matcha tea is very fine and mixes easily. My first taste was earthy before I added the sugar. I got a bit of a minty hint as well. My daughters 3 and 5 also tasted it and said they liked it even though they don't like hot drinks. It does come out pretty green but don't let that scare you away, it isn't Starbucks packed full of calories.

 

Need a  boost of energy? It will give you a natural kick without the energy drink or coffee "hangover" later.

Review-Yochi Shoes

I was contacted by Yochi Shoes to review their line of cute kids shoes. We were sent a pair of Panda shoes in a size 9. You can find the exact shoe here Princess Sakura Shoes. When we got the package they were carefully wrapped in a cloth bag like designer shoes.

 

We got the size 9 and it was an exact fit for my daughter. She was so excited to try them on!

Think these are just a regular pair of cute kids shoes? Guess again! I found out that these shoes have squeakers in them! My daughter had so much fun running around the house, squeaking with every step! Worried about a little one toddling off in a busy place? No chance of getting lost with these shoes, plus you don't have to worry about those weird leashes!

 

The shoes have a Velcro closure so Serenity can put them on all by herself. No ties required! They are also made from high quality nylon and very comfy.

 

I am now going to have to order a second pair of shoes for my younger daughter, they were such a big hit and now she is super jealous!

Besides shoes for both sexes, Yochi also carries adorable socks with rattles for both baby boys and girls!
