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!

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. We have all heard how those single-use straws are bad for the environment, so not using them is a step in the right direction. However, sometimes a straw comes in really handy. Enter the Zoku Pocket Straw!

The Zoku Pocket Straw is a reusable stainless steel straw that includes:

  • 1 telescoping straw
  • 1 carrying case
  • 1 cleaning brush

I really like the simple design of this straw. It has a lightweight, “telescope” design which makes it compact and easy to carry on the go. I also appreciate how everything fits in the small carrying case, which features a loop hole for a key ring. The cleaning brush makes it easy to clean, and it is dishwasher-safe. It is also reassuring to know that this straw is BPA and phthalate free.

Make a resolution this year to stop using single-use straws!

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

Reimagine Retirement Review

D and I are both in our early 40’s, so we have a way to go until retirement. However, it is always fun to imagine how our life will be once we retire. In the book Reimagine Retirement, C.J. Cagle writes about retirement from a Christian perspective. When thinking about retirement, most people think of having a lot of extra free time, vacationing, etc. while being on a fixed income. In contrast, Cagle urges readers to figure out how we can use the retirement years to glorify God.

This book has three parts, including reimagaining your perspective on retirement, remimagining your plan for retirement, and reimagining your life in retirement. While Cagle does not claim to be a financial professional, he outlines a lot of the basic financial and pragmatic considerations that are necessary to take into account before retiring. I also thought the section about being a good steward of our resources: Time (serving and mentoring); Talents (calling and vocation); Testimony (character and perseverance); and Treasure (stewardship and generosity) was especially thought-provoking. Whether retirement is years away or a current possibility, Reimagine Retirement is a valuable resource.

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!

Experiment In The Kitchen With European Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Dislcosure: I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com) to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links.

Extra virgin olive oil has become a staple in our kitchen pantry. It is very versatile due to its high smoke point (400 degrees F). It can be used to saute, fry or bake your favorite foods. I also often use it to make homemade salad dressing.

Olitalia believes all great cooking revolves around great oil. Olitalia is the #1 brand most used by chefs in Italy and is now available for home cooking in the US. Look for Olitalia at Eataly locations.

There is a website called Flavor Your Life which provides a lot of useful information regarding European Extra Virgin Olive Oil. For example, did you know that the flavor of olive oil is greatly impacted by the region in which the olive trees are grown? Europe’s diverse climate and soil produce a wide range of olive oil flavor profiles. Here are some key characteristics of the different regions:

  • Spain: typically golden yellow with a fruity, nutty flavor.
  • Italy: dark green and has an herbal aroma and a grassy flavor.
  • Greece: tends to be green, strong flavor and aroma.
  • France: pale in color and has a mild flavor.

My whole family really enjoys eating salmon, so I tried out a recipe I found on the Flavor Your Life website for Grilled Chinese Salmon Salad that uses olive oil as the base for the flavorful dressing.

Grilled Chinese Salmon Salad

The recipe calls for marinating the salmon for thirty minutes.
The super simple dressing consists of 4 T. Extra Virgin Olive Oil; 1 lime, juiced, 1 tsp. honey,
1 T. fresh coriander, minced, and sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.

The salad dressing turned out nice and light and complemented the flavor of the salmon well. n gave it a thumbs up! Be sure to visit Flavor Your Life for more recipe ideas using European Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Olitalia extra virgin olive oil is available at Eataly locations.
