Clean Up Naturally With Sapadilla Soap

Disclosure: I received samples in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

The Sapadilla Soap Co. is another company I discovered through Expo West (which I am looking forward to next month, by the way!) This Vancouver-based company is dedicated to making eco-friendly cleaners for a naturally clean home.

I had the opportunity to try the Grapefruit + Bergamot Dish Soap, Lavender + Lime Countertop Cleanser and Rosemary + Mint Hand Soap. Don’t those scent combinations sound lovely? The scents come from 100% pure essential oil blends, with no artificial ingredients. In addition all of the Sapadilla products are plant-based and biodegradable, making them a smart choice to use in your home.

It seems like I have been washing my hands more now than ever, so the Sapadilla Hand Soap came just at the right time. I like how this soap cleanses, but does not dry out my hands. It has a refreshing scent that makes hand-washing a joy.

The Sapadilla Dish Soap is also a wonderful product that makes cleaning kind of fun! I prefer to hand wash most of my dishes, so it is important that the soap I use is not drying. I really like citrus scents, so the Graperfruit + Bergamot scent is perfect for me.

Finally, the Sapadilla Countertop Cleanser has effective cleaning-power, without the chemicals. It cuts through grimy messes while delivering an uplifting scent. Isn’t that what we all need while going through our cleaning routines?

To find Sapadilla Soap products, go to their store locator here or order online through their website here.

New Year, New Natural Products: #NewHopeBloggerBox

Disclosure: I received free samples in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

It is always exciting when a New Hope Blogger Box is delivered to our doorstep. The natural product space is rapidly expanding, and I really enjoy making new discoveries and sharing them with others.

The most recent box I received had a good variety of products. Here are the contents, along with some of my observations:

  • RightRice (Thai Curry flavor): This “rice” is actually made from vegetables. The main ingredients include lentil flour, chickpea flour, pea fiber and rice flour. Each serving contains 5 grams of fiber (compared to 0 grams of fiber in white rice).
  • Bodylogix Vegan Protein: My husband is the big protein powder consumer in our household. He gave this one a thumbs up! The chia provides a nutty flavor, and there was not an unpleasant aftertaste as he has detected in other vegan protein powders.
  • CV Sciences Plus CBD Oil Capsules
  • Human Power of N Neo40: For daily heart & circulation support
  • Madhava Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil: We use olive oil all of the time, so I was excited to try this one. It won the Clean Label Purity Award and has been tested for 130 contaminants.
  • Natural Factors Organic Low FODMAP Reliefiber Powder: According to the packaging, this provides relief for constipation, diarrhea and bloating. It is naturally sourced from organic guar beans. Since I have not had these symptoms, I have yet to try it, but it is good to know there is a natural option.
  • Nature Nate’s Natural Raw & Unfiltered Honey: I used this sample for a salmon salad I made, and it tasted great!
  • Mother Raw Organic Caesar Style Dressing & Marinade: This dressing is gluten-free, vegan, peanut-free and canola-free. It contains olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and hemp seeds (among other natural ingredients). I like the idea of being able to use this as both a dressing and a marinade.
  • Torani Italian Syrups Dark Chocolate Puremade Sauce: I am a big fan of Torani Italian Syrups. However, I had never tried their sauces. This dark chocolate sauce is so good! Perfect on ice cream or added to a coffee drink. I like how it does not contain any artificial ingredients, too.

Resolve To Go Natural With WildRoot Deodorant

Disclosure: I received free samples in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Why Choose Natural Deodorant?

If you have been contemplating switching to a deodorant that is free of aluminum and parabens, now is the time! In our quest to live toxin-free, it is important to take a close look at the products that we apply directly to our bodies, including deodorant.

WildRoot natural deodorant is a new product that only uses simple ingredients and is aluminum and paraben-free. This is important because sweat is a way for our body to expel toxins from our body. Aluminum, which is often found in antiperspirant, prevents the sweat glands from expelling these toxins.

No Chemical Fragrances

WildRoot deodorant does not contain chemical fragrances. Instead, the scents come from safe, pure essential oils. Check out their selection of formulations and scents:

Performance Line:

  • Wildflower (Lavender and Ylang Ylang)
  • Tall Pine (Cedarwood and Pine)
  • Citrus Leaf (Lime and Sage)

Sensitive Line (no baking soda):

  • Wildflower (Lavender and Ylang Ylang)
  • Meadow (Lemongrass and Mandarin)
  • Unscented

I tried the Citrus Leaf and Meadow scents. My favorite was Meadow because the scent was so light and fresh. I do not have a baking soda sensitivity, but it is nice that there are baking soda-free options for those that do. I have used other natural deodorants in this past, and I was impressed with the consistency and texture of the WildRoot deodorant. It went on nice and smooth (not grainy like some other brands I have tried).

An Easy Resolution For 2020!

Making the switch to a natural deodorant like WildRoot is a simple step to take for living a healthier life. If you have been using antiperspirants with aluminum, you will probably experience a “detox” period while your body makes the adjustment. However, if you stick with it, you will see that your sweat glands will regulate back to “normal”. Allowing your body to expel toxins naturally is worth it!

Giveaway Time!

There are actually two giveaways that you can enter to win. First, sign up here by January 11 to receive a coupon code for 30% off your entire order during WildRoot’s initial official launch from January 13th-January 17th. You will also be entered to win free WildRoot deodorant for a year!

STEAM-Powered Play With Power Blox Light ‘N Flight #myeblox

Disclosure: I received a sample in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

As I have mentioned before, our ten-year old son really likes toys that involve building. From Legos to robots to circuit boards, if it involves putting together small parts, he is interested! Therefore, as soon as I saw Power Blox Light ‘N Flight by E-Blox, I knew it would be right up his alley.

The Power Blox line is unique in that it includes specialty parts such as a motor block, battery block (requires 9V battery), a switch, and LED lights. This 58 piece set includes parts to build five different designs that are featured on the box: helicopter, airboat, fan shooter, double fan launcher, and airplane. Although the box only includes directions for building the airplane, there are a lot more build instructions available at www.myeblox.com.

Of course, the possibilities for creating your own unique builds are actually endless. The only limit is your imagination! This is especially true considering that the Power Blox sets are compatible with other toy brick sets, such as Legos. I am a fan of any toy that promotes STEAM skills, and this Power Blox set does just that.

Note: I would not recommend playing with this toy outside. It launches the propeller really high and can be difficult to retrieve in the bushes or grass. We learned the hard way-ha!

I made a short video that shows just how high the Power Blox Light ‘N Flight airplane propeller can fly!

My son really liked the special LED lights that come with this Power Blox set!

Power Blox Light ‘N Flight is recommended for ages 8 and up and is available for purchase here.

Ditch Single-Use Straws With Zoku Pocket Straw

Disclosure: I received a sample in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

During our recent travels, I have noticed that a growing number of restaurants are getting rid of plastic straws.

It is also reassuring to know that this straw is BPA and phthalate free.

The holiday decorations added another layer of charm to the castle.

The arena is just the right size so everyone has a good view of the action. Little kids do not have to worry about having their view blocked by an adult in front of them, so that is nice.

The show itself is action-packed. It includes trained horses, a falcon, jousting and sword-fighting, along with some humor for good measure.

Luxury Movie-Going Experience at Century Stadium 25 and XD Theatre in Orange

Disclosure: I received compensation in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

It is amazing how much some movie theaters have upgraded the movie-going experience. With more people opting to skip going to movie theaters and watching movies at home, movie theaters realize they need to improve in order to attract audiences. The Century Stadium 25 and XD Theatre in Orange, California has met that challenge!

Yesterday we went as a family to watch Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker during a morning showing. It started at 9:10 a.m.! The time was perfect for our early riser family. It was easy to purchase tickets online and reserve seats weeks ahead of time here. The Century Stadium Theatre is located in the Stadium Promenade just around the corner from the Honda Center.

We made a stop at the concession stand even though it was early in the day. I think movie popcorn tastes good any time of day, right?

The 25 auditoriums are furnished with Cinemark Luxury Loungers – electric-powered, plush, oversize recliners with footrests, cup holders, swivel trays and heat-controlled seats. I do not think there is a “bad” seat in the house!

The swivel trays came in handy to hold our snacks. No more trying to balance a bag of popcorn in your lap! The picture quality and sound were both quite impressive and we had a great time. This is the movie theater to go to in Orange County if you want the ultimate movie experience!

The Century Stadium 25 and XD theatre is located at 1701 W. Katella Ave., Orange CA 92867 within the Stadium Promenade. For more information on showtimes, click here

Some Like It Hot Or Cold: Zulay Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker

Disclosure: I received a sample in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

Do you prefer your coffee hot or cold? I’m actually a fan of both, depending on what mood I am in. Within the past couple of years, I have been drinking more cold brew coffee at home. I enjoy the taste because it is smoother and less acidic than regular hot coffee.

The process to make cold brew coffee is fairly simple; all you have to do is add water to ground coffee, let it steep for about 12-18 hours and then strain the coffee grounds. However, my method was kind of messy, since I would use a large plastic container, a metal strainer, a coffee filter and a pitcher. There would often be spills or extra grounds that would sneak in to my coffee. Whether you have never tried making cold brew coffee at home, or you make it all of the time, the Zulay Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker streamlines the process. It makes cold brew coffee with minimal effort and mess!

I really like the quality of this cold brew coffee maker. It is made of thick and sturdy glass and stainless steel. The silicone seal at the top ensures freshness, and the silicone bottom provides a sturdy base.

It also features a beautiful, classic and neutral design which I appreciate. Isn’t it pretty?

To make cold brew coffee, all you have to do is fill the stainless steel filter with coffee grounds about 2/3 full. Add water to the 32 oz. line and let it sit in the refrigerator for 12-18 hours. Remove the filter and the cold brew coffee is ready to go in the carafe. It can then be stored in the refrigerator for later use if there is extra. So easy!

The cold brew coffee is pretty concentrated, so I like to add milk. You can also add non-dairy milk such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk, to taste.

The Zulay Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker can also be used to make hot coffee and hot or cold tea. Check out the rave reviews on Amazon!
