We Love BarkCode!!

Every hour, 60 dogs and cats go missing.

Some are lucky enough to find their homes, others are not.

Not all tags on pets are updated.

Some never change the phone number or address.

Pet owners think "My dog will never be a missing pet."

Pets like them either become homeless or end up in a shelter!

Scariest Fact: Homeless pets out number Homeless people, 5 to 1.

 

We can change that!

WE LOVE BARKCODE!!!!

 

 

BarkCode sent me two collars, One for Brooklyn (above), and one for Piper. Both Collars have Tags, Brooklyns also has the slider tag.

It took my all of 5 minutes to log on to BarkCode. Register. Enter in the code from Brooklyn's collar and then enter in all her information, including her name, breed, phone numbers, Vet and more.

 

 

Sample Pet Profile!!

 

 

I have already showed my family how this works, We couldnt be any happier.  This truly is the best idea. 

The reason I agree with these collars so much. 

Piper, our chubby chihuahua, We bought her at a pet store 9 years ago. She was micro-chipped. About 5 years ago, I brought her into the local shelter to have a meet and greet with a puppy we wanted to adopt.  We had explained she was micro-chipped.  We know for a fact she was, because as a pup 1) You could feel it and 2) We had the paper work. But guess what.  No one could find her chip.

They scanned her entire body with no luck.

What a waste of money for something to be injected into her body and now can't be found.

 

That was a really bad idea, only knows where it is, and if it is causing her any damage.

 

So, I vote NO MORE MICRO-CHIPPING PETS!!!

 

BUY BARKCODE!!!

No injections needed!

 

I have absolutely no complaints with BarkCode!

YakPak Retractable Leash

Now your favorite Yakpak prints can be just as stylish for the furry friends in your life. Our retractable leashes are a fun accessory to add to any doggie's walk in the park.

 

I love Yak Pak.  Especially their bags.  Such a unique style.  When they started coming out with Dog accessories I was very excited.  I recently received the Yak Pak Rectractable Dog Leash in the mail.  I could not wait to try it out. It came with a cool doggy pick up poopy bag. 

 

I have a few pro's and con's about it.  :(  I orginally picked this leash because it said for puppies up to 77lbs.  I thought great, a new leash for my puppy Brooklyn, who is at 55lbs.  Nope Totally wrong.  Kept locking up bad. At one point I had to take it off her just to get the button to unlock.  So here is the good news.  As you can see above and below, I tried it with my other dog Piper, who is all of 13lbs.

 

Much better,  I could walk her with out any problems!! No locking, twisting. No issues at all. 

I took her out last night, sorry no pictures I have a crappy smartphone.  The light was helpful.  We could see where we were walking. Piper enjoyed it as well, She could see what was coming at her.

:)

 

 

But all in the end, Piper was one happy puppy!

 

My rating for it so far:  7 out of 10.  Only because the package lies & its construction isnt that great.

Is it worth buying?  Yea, but only small dogs, Id say under 20lbs.  Anything more and I think you will run into the problem I had.  If your dog is a puller, this is not the product for you.

 

Like I said before, I very much enjoy Yak Pak's products!!! They need to make some small changes to the Doggy Dept, but other than that, their products, especially their bags!! Are well worth the price!!

 

I own the Yak Pak Turquoise Zebra Messenger Bag!

I Love it very much.  Has a lot of room.  My son loves it too.

A Roma Ball

About these cute little guys

 

The sense of smell is one of our most powerful senses - It has the power to transform our emotions, which are highly generated from what we smell. Scent can take us to another place - and time. Each squeeze of these Lycra covered Pure Aromatherapy Promotional Ball is waiting to take you to your own chosen destination.

 Each color has its own scent and aromatherapy effect. A woven label is sewn into each ball listing its specific aromatherapy benefit.

 

Wondering what each color smells like??

 

Blackout - Black
Gumball - Blue
Fresh Apple - Green
Citrus Blast - Orange
Fresh Berries - Red

 

 

We received the Lime green Aroma Ball!!  Two were sent to me. I gave one to my grandmom and kept one for myself.  After about a week, I called her and asked her what she thought.

She said the same thing as me.  The smell was still and strong as the first day, never smushed or flattened.  Has a very nice densitiy to it.  Is a very good ball to use to keep those fingers in movement.

My grandmom loves Aroma Ball.  She asked if I can get more. Each ball is 2 1/2" diameter

Imprinted Area on each ball is 1 3/8" diameter.

The only thing I didnt like about these stress balls, After squeezing them for a while, the smell stayed on my hands. 

Other than that no complaints.

 

So heres the thing about that.  I ordered mine off of a promotional site.  Meaning, they send customers multiples of the product for like a get your company name out there type thing.

So I figured since I wanted something different to give out at my wedding as thank yous, this would be a great idea.

 

To order them from Handstands, they come 100 in a box. @ $3.65 each ball. ($365) You are able to order samples like I did.

 

 

 

Good news!! I did some reseach, If you don't want to buy 100 of them its ok. You can buy only one.

Go to Office Play Ground

Each ball $3.99!!!!!

Their Smells include:

the ones as above and Mango!!

Yum!

MY SKITTLES VODKA

SKITTLES VODKA

(Alcohol Beverage)

By: Julia H.

Est: 2005

What is it?

  Pure Happiness! :)  By mixing your favorite vodka and your choice of skittles you make a perfect drink. Basically, every grown adults dream in a bottle. Don't let the fruity colorful drinks fool you, these babies pack a punch!  My little verison on MoonShine lol.

What do you need?

       Simple.  

1 - 1.75 litre of your choice vodka.  (I will tell you that the better quality vodka tastes better)

                                          I used Skyy Vodka.

 Then you need one BIG BAG of Skittle. ( 2 of the next size down. You need about 150 skittles.. estimated)

 

 

Now the last thing you need is small water bottles with labels removed. (Warning the smaller the bottle the more potent it is.)

 

Down the line you will also need:

- a mesh strainer

- about 5 coffee filters or paper towels

- 5 nice glass/plastic bottles to put your creation in... or you can leave it in the water bottles. like i did.

 

 

All you do is take your empty and dry water bottles and line them up. Seperate the colors of the skittles into the 5 bottles (purple, green, yellow, orange, red). If you don't do this step and you mix them together, you will get a very yucky mud color so I recommend taking the time to seperate all the colors. You will use up the whole bag so just keep filling those water bottles until you are out of skittles.

(This image was made by a friend of my, It was not designed by me)

 

- You should have just enough vodka to fill to the top once all the skittles are in place in the bottles.

Place the bottles on a shelf that you can easily get too and shake every once in a while for a day or two or until all of the skittle pieces are dissolved. Please Note that there will be floating white flecks, This is what you will be straining out.

At the end of day two - three you want to strain your vodka. Simply use your mesh strainer lined with a coffee filter or paper towel. I found that pouring each mixture though the mesh strainer (slowly so you don't over flow.) I have and easier time doing it over a large measuring cup with pour spout, makes it easier to pour back in the bottles. You may have to switch out coffee filters a few times once they start to get full of the white candy flecks Which is why I started using paper towels.

Once a color has been fully strained (might take a few times) you can put it in your designated container. make sure to rinse out the measuring cup you use and start with a fresh coffee filter for each color so there isn't any mixing.

Once all five bottles are completed, you can store your new colorful spirits in the freezer. This tastes best by adding a few shots to glass of seven up or seltzer water. You can do shots, but they are going to be sugary so be prepared for that! Enjoy!

Between Prep and make time is about 45mins.

Wait time: 2 to 3 days.

Straining & Bottling time: 30mins.

Brings a whole new meaning to taste the rainbow!

Best thing about this.  You can make it for about $20.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snack Taxi

About Snack Taxi

Our mission here at snackTAXI is to make high quality, affordable reusable bags that empower everyone to reduce waste, while embracing business practices that respect our community, environment, and Earth.

I invented the first snackTAXI way back in 2003 as a way to stem the tide of plastic ziplock bags that flowed from our house to the landfill when our 3 kids started school! We were packing over 500 lunches every year, and had definitely fallen prey to the easy appeal of the ziplock baggie.

snackTAXIs are easy too - really! They are made in our rural Massachusetts workshop by talented (and fun!) local sewers - we are committed to keeping our business local, and will never outsource our labor.

We hope you'll enjoy using snackTAXIs as much as we enjoy making them!

I love my Snack Taxi.  Makes it easy to carry about snacks and you can't beat the cute designs, that are nicer than snack bags.  I send mine in to school in my sons lunch bag.  Every one loves them and they cut down on Paper and Plastic. :) Which mean's its good for the earth too!

Definitely reccomending these to all my friends.

There is not a bad thing about them. They are durable. Strong stitching. Velcro holds even after multiple washes.

The colors stay bright and vibrant!!

Comes in different packages.

I recently received an awesome box in the mail called the Conscious Box. After opening my box, I found tons of other companies samples that where good for me and for the earth. Which I really liked that companies out there really do care about others and the planet we live on.

In my box I received the following:

(By the way this blog review is in two parts, as a few of the products, I gave a week on a test trial.) 

St. Claire's Organics - Key Lime Tarts

(St. Claire's Organics)

Candy with a Citrus Zing!

 My opinion, good tasting when you first pop them in your mouth, after a few seconds you get a different taste, that I can't really describe.

First tester, My father. He in fact liked them.

Second tester, My son. He was not a fan. Too tarty for him.

Third tester, Myself. I don't mind them if its one every hour or so. I couldn't eat more than one at once.

 Personally they aren't bad, just not everyone's favorite, is a required taste.

Honest Tea's

(Honest Kids)

6.75 fl. oz.

no high fructose corn syryp

Honest Tea's line of organic, low-sugar, fruit-flavored thirst quenchers offers a great-tasting alternative to sugar-laden beverages. Each pouch contains less than half the sugar of most other pouch drinks.

My son loves these.  We knew about Honest Kid's before we got our Conscious Box.  They are great for kids. None of that extra crap they put in kids drinks and try to pass them off as healthy.  Honest Kid's is totally an honest drink and great tasting too.  

If you buy Capri Suns, or Other brands, Please go out and buy Honest Teas, Honest Kid's. 

Think Thin - Crunch Bar

(Think Thin)

Think Thin - Crunch Bar

Chocolate dipped Mixed nuts Crunch Bar

This lower sugar nut bar has 60% less sugar and 2x more protein than other leading fruit and nut bars. Packed with peanuts, almonds and cashews drizzled with honey and covered in rich delicious chocolate, this bar is a good source of fiber and perfect for healthy snacking on the go.

My son whined for 15mins, asking if he could try it.  Once I opened the package, I could barely get him to sit still long enough for me to take a photo of him eating the Think Thin Crunch Bar. Let alone get him to give me a piece to try. Finally after getting to taste it, I figured out why he like it so much. Cashews, Almonds and other nuts mixed together and the bottom dipped in milk chocolate.  LOL 

He Loved it!  So much I went on their site and got prices to buy him more.

One bar was $1.99, 10 for $16.99 and so forth.

Little pricey but very good.

 I will be buying some soon!

These are just some of the products that are in my August's Conscious Box.
