Air Wick’s Pure and Freshmatic Automatic Spray Product Review

Air Wick recently released Pure and a new version of Freshmatic Automatic Spray. Pure is an aerosol formula that delivers 9x more fragrance with less water which helps solve the problem of wet residue on upholstery, wood and other surfaces. Freshmatic Automatic Spray is Air Wick’s new automatic spray device that delivers continuous bursts of fragrance so it’s like you’re experiencing that first whiff of your favorite scent for the first time, every time. The improved new sleek design with the “twist and lock” mechanism lets you display it anywhere in your home as it fits right in with your décor.

I was sent both products for review. I will say I like both but the Freshmatic Automatic Spray is my favorite. I have it in my hallway and I can enjoy the fragrance throught my whole upstairs. It just emits a fragrance every few minutes and I love that. And then the Pure is wonderful because it is a dry spray theat keeps my home very fresh.

This Halloween, Trick The Kids With Treats That Are Healthy

It’s that time of year again – stores are pushing those famous Halloween treats filled with shocking amounts of sugar, ghoulishly gummy goop and a whole lot of inessential ingredients you can’t even pronounce. Yep, they’re wrapped in devilishly attractive orange-and-black wrappers, but don’t be tricked into buying a ginormous bagful and handing them out to the neighbor kids. (You know you’re secretly hoping you don’t get many trick-or-treaters so you’ll have your own secret stash that your kids don’t have to know about!) 

Instead, hand out Crispy Fruit freeze-dried fruit snacks from Crispy Green. There’s just one nutritious ingredient in every bag – fruit. That’s right, Crispy Fruit from Crispy Green® is 100% pure fruit, nothing else. So how is it like a treat? It’s all in the freeze-drying process that produces delicate slices that snack like a chip, but contain the perfect balance of flavor and nutrients provided by mother nature – making it both delicious AND healthy. 

Lightweight and long-lasting (no refrigeration necessary), the tasty 100% natural, Non-GMO Project-verified snack is ideal for Halloween, but also perfect for school lunches and extracurricular activities for kids (and parents) constantly on the go. There are NO skeletons in the closet here – Crispy Fruit has no cholesterol or fat, no added sugar, is free of additives and preservatives, is nut-free, Kosher certified and has a long shelf life.

Choose from seven flavors including tangerine, apple, Asian pear, banana, cantaloupe, mango and pineapple. All Crispy Fruit flavors are also available in a convenient "Grab & Go" 6-pack – six single-serving bags (MSRP: $7.99) – or individual, single-serving bags (MSRP: $1.49 each) that provide approximately one serving of fruit and 55 calories or less per bag. 

Crispy Fruit is available online and in retailers such as The Fresh Market, Harris Teeter, ShopRite, Giant Eagle Market District, Earth Fare, Giant Food Stores, King Kullen, Safeway, Weis Markets, Shaw’s Markets and selected Whole Foods Markets. 

For more information, please visit www.crispygreen.com. To find a retailer in your area that carries Crispy Fruit, go to www.crispygreen.com/where-to-buy.html. Family-Shot-smlowres For news updates, information and special offers, follow Crispy Green on Twitter and Instagram. Become a fan on Facebook and visit us on Snapchat!

I was lucky enough to receive 2 packages of each fruit to sample. I have enjoyed everyone I have tried so far they are light and crispy but not had to bite or chew. They are so easy and portable. A great snack for me to take along to work. I will be buying these in the future.

Two New Magical Games from Blue Orange Games

Recently Blue Orange Games sent me a couple of games to review. I was excited to receive these games and try them out. My kids have always loved games and memory games were one of their favorites. I found these to be top quality games.

 In my area they are sold in toy stores, Hallmark stores, and specality shops. Check them out this Holiday Season for your kids.

Match the Stack in this Magical ActTop That! is a magical match-up themed after everyone's favorite act! You and your opponents race to stack your magician’s tools according to the images on the challenge card. But the real magic happens when the images are painted in gray or dazzled in stars! If an item appears gray on the card, it must be hidden inside another prop, and if the item is surrounded in stars it must be empty for the grand magical reveal. Use sleight of hand to stack fast and wow the crowd with the final magic act!

Master the Magic of the Elemons!Gigamons is a memory game where you will enjoy matching and collecting Elemons to activate their superpowers. Every two Elemons unveiled unleashes a magical spell to hinder your opponents or aid your quest, and every three Elemons collected will summon a mighty Gigamon. This game will have you embark on a magical journey in this artfully mastered, creative world where memory is the key to success!

Charmin Announces Charmin Essentials

I am often looking for ways to save money and get the best deal. I was recently contacted to sample the Charmin Essentials products. I have found that they are both soft and strong and come at a very affordable price. For me and my family Charmin Essentials works as well as the other more expensive brand I was using.

Here is a segment of the press release I recieved:

"Charmin® has just announced two new products – Charmin® Essentials Soft and Charmin® Essentials Strong. Charmin Essentials Strong provides a bigger Charmin roll at a Scott® 1000-like price* and Charmin Essentials Soft provides Charmin-like softness at an Angel Soft®-like price.*

New Year's Resolutions Have Gone to the Dogs, Literally.

With 2016 finally here, I've already been planning about how to make this new year the healthiest one yet.

Although there are numerous ways I could improve myself and my health, what if I could also get my family involved including my furry family members, too?

Milk-Bone (the makers of my pup's favorite dog treats) recently conducted an original survey of 3,000 pet parents nationwide to find out which healthy habits families are pledging in the new year.

See the results below:

Top 10 New Year's Resolutions for Pets and Their Pet Parents

(% of pet parents who are interested in each pet-oriented resolution)

1. "I will spend more time with my dog." 52%

2. "I will help my dog to have better health and wellness." 42%

3. "I will take my dog on more trips with me." 34%

4. "I will brush my dog's teeth regularly." 31%

5. "I will help my dog get more essential vitamins, nutrients, and supplements." 30%

6. "I will help my dog become less anxious and stressed." 29%

7. "I will not feed my dog food from the dinner table." 25%

8. "I won't leave my dog home alone for quite as long." 23%

9. "I will help my pet lose weight." 21%

10. "I will take my dog to dog training class." 15%

Of course, old habits die hard -- which is why Milk-Bone has also fetched the best ways to make sure these resolutions stick

.

Top Tips for Keeping New Year's Resolutions

>>

1. "I will spend more time with my dog." 52%

According to the survey, 44% of pet parents say that having a dog brings a family closer together. Whether it's taking Fido to a new dog park or adding a few minutes to your daily walk, you can easily increase quality time with your pup.

>>

2. "I will help my dog to have better health and wellness." 42%

In addition to plenty of play and exercise, consider providing your pup a daily vitamin supplement, such as Milk-Bone Good Morning Daily Vitamins, which promote well-being, longevity and overall good health.

>>

3. "I will take my dog on more trips with me." 34%

Taking your pup on vacation not only adds fun, but it also alleviates the worry of not knowing what's happening wth him while you're away. Be sure to bring his favorite toy or something he loves to keep him calm during travel.

>> 4. "I will brush my dog's teeth regularly." 31%

Weary about brushing your canine's canines? Start a new daily routine and try a dental chew, such as Milk-Bone Brushing Chews -- which clean teeth, remove tartar and fight dreaded doggy breath. This daily dental treat also comes in a new 'Fresh Breath' flavor (in stores Feb. 2016) for an even tastier clean.

> 5. "I will help my dog get more essential vitamins, nutrients, and supplements." 30%

Vitamins provide beneficial nutrients not found in regular dog food -- which is why it's a good idea for both of you to start the day off right with a daily vitamin supplement. Milk-Bone Good Morning Daily Vitamins support your dog's immune system, brain, heart, and digestion.

>> 6. "I will help my dog become less anxious and stressed." 29%

If you have a timid dog, the key to reducing his stress is by building his self confidence. Start by teaching him to respond to basic commands -- it will make him feel more comfortable in his environment.

>> 7. "I will not feed my dog food from the dinner table." 25%

Every dog loves (and often begs for) tasty table scraps. Next year, resist the urge and provide tasty pet treats instead. These Milk-Bone treats are ones that not only taste good but are (actually) good for them.

>> 8. "I won't leave my dog home alone for quite as long." 23%

If you can't leave work early, consider providing a new furry companion for your pup. Or perhaps you can arrange for a friend's dog to make a house call.

>> 9. "I will help my pet lose weight." 21%

Just like us, some pups could stand to lose a few pounds. Next year, make Fido your accountability partner and commit both yourselves to eating healthier, along with plenty of play and exercise.

>> 10. "I will take my dog to dog training class." 15%

Experts are experts for a reason. Accredited dog trainers have tons of experience in teaching both pets (and pet parents) positive reinforcement techniques that are safe and effective.

Chipper's New Year's Resolution for 2016

Of all these resolutions, the one that resonates with me is 'brushing my dog's teeth regularly.' According to the survey, 40% of dog parents do this... and I'd love to do this more regularly.

Of course, brushing your dog's teeth is one of those things that's a lot harder than it sounds. Thanks to Milk-Bone Brushing Chews, however, I don't have to lift a finger. (Well, maybe that's all I have to lift.) Basically, the Brushing Chew does all the manual labor in keeping my pup's teeth clean and breath fresh. Double win!

Readers, what resolution are you planning to make for you and your dog in 2016?

Happy Howlidays! From Milk-Bone ~ Stocking Stuffers For Your Pup!

Happy Howlidays!

I love the holiday season — the cold weather, the yummy food, and of course, all of the festivities! You know who else loves them too? My dog's, Charlie, Chipper, and Turner. I'm thinking it may be because of all the extra lovin' and gifts they gets from the family.

It turns out that I'm not the only pet mama to spoil her pup during this time of year. That's why I love this super cute website called TheNosePrint.com from Big Heart Pet Brands (the makers of Milk-Bone, Pup-Peroni, Canine Carry Outs, and Milo's Kitchen). They really know how to celebrate the holidays with your pup!

On TheNosePrint.com, check out some of the fun doggy do-it-yourself ideas they've dreamed up: http://thenoseprint.com/article/diy-holiday-dog-gifts

My favorite was the Treat Bouquet.

Get it? (I love a good pun!) And this treat is sure to be a hit with Turner, Chipper, and Charlie. Slobbery kisses? Check. Yummy treat? Check. Yes, it's pretty much the best gift idea ever.

I'm also loving the homemade paw-print ornament. I've seen these with children's handprints before. Why not have your fur child make an ornament too?

Other great homemade doggy gifts include a mistletreat, a sweet treat jar, and a ho-ho-howliday treat bag. Yes, our dog's are going to have a very holiday break

.

The NosePrint.com also asked 3,000 Americans about their dog-related holiday habits, including whether their dog is involved in gift-giving, stocking-stuffing, Christmas sweater-wearing, and other holiday traditions.

What they found is that Americans really LOVE their pets. For instance, did you know 71% of dog parents give gifts to their pups? Have you completed your Christmas doggy shopping yet?

According to the survey, here are the top 5 reasons people give gifts to their dog:

1. To express love to my dog: 72% 

2. Because it's fun for me: 60% 

3. To help my dog feel included like a family member: 54% 

4. To give my dog a moment of happiness: 53% 

5. To feel closer and bond with my dog: 43%

For me, I like to give presents to Charlie, chipper and Turner because of all of these reasons. He's such an important part of the family — I can't imagine the holidays without him

.

The study also shared how often dogs are included into popular Christmas traditions:

1. 48% of dog parents hang a Christmas stocking for their dog. 

2. 43% of dog parents include a dog in a photo for a family holiday card. 

3. 32% post photos of their dog on social media with a holiday message. 

4. 29% dress up their dog in a holiday-themed costume or outfit. 

5. 22% make or buy dog-themed holiday decorations.

For photos and instructions on how to add more dog-related fun to your home holiday traditions, check out these cool projects they have here:

Finally, want to know which states have the most spoiled pups?

The 2015 TheNosePrint.com Santa Dog Index ranks states based on how much, on average, dog parents will spend on their furry kids:

Top 10 States That Spend the Most on Holiday Gifts for Dogs:

1. New Jersey: $29.61 (average gift spending per dog for state residents) 

2. New York: $28.95 

3. Pennsylvania: $28.75 

4. Utah: $27.75 

5. Georgia: $27.04 

6. California: $26.07 

7. Washington: $25.81 

8. Florida: $25.13 

9. Illinois: $24.98 

10. Virginia: $24.58

Apparently, it's good to be a dog in the New York tri-state area. You can find the complete rankings of all 50 states at www.TheNosePrint.com.

Vitamins For Fido? Milk-Bone Study Shows Dog-Loving Families More Fit and Healthy

When Milk-Bone contacted me about reviewing their new Vitamins I was excited to jump at the chance!! My oldest daughter has a new puppy.

(yes this is me with her sweet baby)

He has had lots of fun with everything I recieved and look how quickly he is growing!!

My daughter is so excited to have a new running buddy!!

Consider this: According to the “Milk-Bone Human-Canine Health Study”— a survey of 3,000 U.S. dog parents conducted by Milk-Bone brand dog treats (in conjunction with Learndipity Data Insights) —pet parents who include their pups in family health routines lead healthier lives. In fact, 55% of dog parents say their lives are “full of happiness and joy,” compared to 39% of non-dog parents.

What are four tips to ensure that the entire family - including Fido - is healthy and well?

DOGGY EXERCISE

51% of dog parents say they get more exercise because of their dog -- but 1 out of 3 pet parents wish their dog would get more physical activity

TIP #1: Turn your pups’ morning or evening walking session into a fun, impromptu workout session for the entire family, so both you and Fido will get your daily fit fix.

PUPPY NUTRIENTS

1 out of 3 pet parents are concerned their dog isn't getting enough of the nutrients they need.

TIP #2: Start every day with a vitamin routine for the whole family. Your pup’s should include nutrients not found in most dog foods, like Glucosamine to support healthy joints or DHA to supplement overall wellness, which Milk-Bone’s Good Morning Daily Vitamin Treats provide.

PETTING SESSION CHECK-UPS

Pet parents conduct “well puppy” check-ups, as they would with their child. If a dog is rubbing his eyes, or has oily spots or bumps in his fur, something could be wrong.

TIP #3: Use fun petting sessions to give your dog a quick look over for possible health ailments, like gently rubbing the bottom of his foot pads for sores.

A FAMILY RITUAL:

57% of dog parents who also have children involve the kids in their doggy caring care routines, with most reporting that it teaches them good life habits and responsibility.

TIP #4: Your pup needs just as much attention and care as you and your children. When it’s time for your kids to brush their teeth, brush his teeth too (or give him Milk-Bone Brushing Chews).

SONIC® Springs Forward to Summer with 25 Hand-Mixed Shake Flavors

This spring, SONIC is starting the Shake Nation celebration a little early, offering a total of 25 creamy and delicious shake flavors all made with SONIC’s Real Ice Cream, hand-mixed right when you order.

With fun flavors like Strawberry Cheesecake, Peanut Butter Fudge and Oreo Chocolate, SONIC’s lineup of shakes has something for everyone. For the more adventurous, check out unique flavors like Jalapeno Chocolate, Coconut Cream Pie and Chocolate Covered Banana.

To sweeten the deal a little more this spring and summer, SONIC Real Ice Cream Shakes are half-price every day after 8 p.m.

So with longer days and warmer weather my kids will be heading to Sonic often for a sweet treat. I think my favorite is the Peanut Butter Fudge Shake!! Very yummy. What is your favorite?

Disclosure: I was provided with a gift card to facilate my review, but as always opinions are my own.
