I’m Addicted to Bloom Putty!

Bloom Putty made it’s way into my home for a review. I waited til the kids went to bed to give it a test drive. As soon as I opened it I was addicted. I had to constantly fight the urge to eat the banana scented substance that kept my hands busy. I couldn’t put it down. The whole time I was watching Dexter with the J-man I was playing with it. Stretching it, popping it…oh yea…it was fun and it annoyed the crap out of the J-man.

Today I decided to share my Bloom Putty with the kids…I didn’t want to. Lauren thought it was the coolest thing ever. She stretched it into the tiniest strands, she made it into a ball and she popped it. Popping it is the best!

It was clear, she was addicted. It’s an epidemic I’m afraid…..

I don’t think there is anything I can do now but feed the obsession by getting every color and scent available.

Seriously, look at the expression on her face…love?

If you are looking for some last minute gifts, this would be a huge winner for child and…adult. Bloom Putty is Gluten-wheat, Casein-Dairy-Soy, Corn, Nut, and Latex FREE! It never dries out or crumbles. It is also non-toxic and is made and tested in USA!

Bloom Putty is scented with organic and natural oils. The scent of the sample I was sent to review is heavenly. Think banana Laffy Taffy. It is available in available in 14 scented varieties! You can buy Bloom Putty in 3 oz containers (which you can see how much that is in the pictures I posted) for only $10.95!

I was sent a sample of Bloom Putty to review with my family. No other compensation was received.

Ever Had Rice Vinegar?

Posted by: Brandy | Comments (3)

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

I think I may need to add a food section to my site. In fact I just took photos step by step of some yumminess tonight to be posted with a recipe tomorrow. I’m always on the lookout for new recipes to try out with the family. Morgan loves to cook so we do a lot of it here!

Tonight I joined the SPLASH Recipe Club. Right now you can find a $1.00 off coupon on the website for any bottle of NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar. I think we will give it a try. We are always looking for new products to enjoy and love to get them at a bargain price.

As you have read in previous posts, I am trying to be more healthy in my food choices. I noticed that the NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar is all natural, fat free, low in calories (only 20 calories per tablespoon), gluten free and also has 50% less sodium than other rice vinegar brands.

They make it from whole grain rice and naturally brew it in a traditional manufacturing process that began in Japan more than 200 years ago.

NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegars are available several flavors!

Original Seasoned
Roasted Garlic
Basil & Oregano
Red Pepper
Balsamic Blend
Italian Herb.

With all of these fantastic flavors you could use it as a condiment in place of other things such as salad dressing, sour cream or butter. It could be used on salads, pasta, hot vegetables and cut out the fat of those other condiments.

ZenSoy Organic Pudding

Posted by: Brandy | Comments (1)

chocolatepuddingnewlowres Recently we were able to try out ZenSoy Organic Pudding. WOW! I am not a big dairy person, I don’t drink milk and normally I don’t even eat pudding. This pudding has absolutely no dairy!

I love soy milk so I was anxious to give this product a try, especially with the kids. It was a huge hit! We were able to try Chocolate, Vanilla, Chocolate Vanilla Swirl and even Banana!

Over here with my gang, the Banana was definitely the favorite! It tasted almost exactly like Banana Nut Bread! To me pretty much anything made with soy has that awesome nutty taste.

ZenSoy Pudding is free of dairy (no eggs, lactose or casein), free of nuts and also gluten.

ZenSoy Pudding is parent and doctor-approved! They are low in fat and sodium and provide a great source of calcium, vitamins B12, B2 and D.

Research shows that soy protein contributes to stronger bones.

I’m anxious to give some of the other products a try such as ZenSoy Soy on the Go drink. It is available in Chocolate, Cappuccino, and Vanilla. Mmmmm Cappuccino, that’s right up my alley! The Soy on the Go drink includes vegetarian Omega-3 DHA which is shown to help boost brain function.

ZenSoy believes in family values and healthy, great-tasting products. Another impressive fact is that ZenSoy is an active supporter of wildlife conservation! The company’s official symbol is the giant panda, “Su-Lin“, who represents all that’s special, rare and natural in this world.

ZenSoy donates a percentage of profits to help protect the pandas. They believe in giving, both to consumers through their quality products, and to our environment, because they are responsible citizens.

The ZenSoy website is loaded with great information! There are recipes, nutrition facts, products, product locator and even information on wildlife conservation!

This is most definitely a product that I will buy and continue to give to my family. The kids loved it and so did I!
