Vegetable Slicer

Today's review is on the Vegetable Slicer. It retails for $21.95.

Whether you're looking for fresh ways to eat healthy with fruits and vegetables, or just add a fun and festive touch to your meals, the Epica makes it as fast and easy as turning the handle.
3 Blades, Unlimited Possibilities
The Epica comes with 3 interchangeable blades to give you a wide range of creative options. Turn out fine, 1/8" thick strands or shreds that resemble angel hair spaghetti, perfect for salads or as a low carb substitute in pasta main dishes. Use the 1/4" spiral blade to create delicious, restaurant-style curly fries from potatoes, sweet potatoes and more. With the flat blade, make curled ribbons that can be shaped into rosettes or fanned out for elegant garnishes or desserts. Even kids will enjoy eating veggies that look this good!
Easy to Use
Get piles of fancy-cut fruits and vegetables in less time than it takes to chop them with a knife! To operate the Epica Spiral Slicer, simply place the fruit or vegetable against the pronged wheel, and turn the handle while applying continuous forward pressure against the blade. Clean-up is also a breeze, as the Epica goes straight into the dishwasher.
Quality Design & Construction
The Epica is designed for both safety and convenience. Unlike a flat mandoline, it keeps your hands away from the blade, so there's no danger of getting cut while slicing. And for safe storage, the blades snap into the base. To keep it from sliding around during use, the Epica's suction cup feet anchor it to your work surface. Made of durable plastic with stainless steel blades, it's backed by a one-year warranty. Size: 12"L x 10"W x 6"H.

 

We can alot so having something to help prep is really great. I also like this to make spiral fries. I cant wait to use this in the summer for all my salads i get from our garden I am going to use it for our carrots. I also will be using this for apple chips in our dehydrator it will be so much easier than slicing them by hand. It is really easy to use and I have already tried it to make cucumber slices.

 

I would recommend this for anyone who loves having a all in 1 product in their kitchen this does so many things.

The SOI Co. luxe box Soy Candles Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I love candles and making my house smell great and fruity. I was excited to try out The SOI Co. Luxe Soy Candle and at the end there will be a short giveaway and one of you can win one of your own. It came packaged in a really nice box also.

When I opened up the box it automatically smelled great even before I pulled the candle out. Here is a little bit from their site on their candles.

SOI Candles are hand-poured using 100%, FDA approved, kosher soy oil and burn cleaner than paraffin-based candles. Available in a variety of sizes and fragrances, our candles will burn about 140 hours (approximately 40% longer than wax candles), are soot-free and do not emit any harmful toxins (such as Benzene) into your home. Unlike wax, soy oil burns coolly at 106º into a reflective pool of soy that always remains warm to the touch and will not burn little hands.  
As SOI candles are created from natural soy, the melt pool can also be used as a skin moisturizer that can be massaged into dry or irritated areas. It can also be applied as a soothing remedy to sunburns, eczema, psoriasis, and poison oak.
SOI Candles are triple-fragranced in a variety of delightful aromas to complement the décor and emphasize the ambience of your home. Never overpowering, one SOI Candle can scent most areas with a wonderful aroma.

I love soy candles they will burn evenly and put off a great smell. This would make a great gift and it is the perfect size candle. The jar is really nice and I am already thinking of ways I can reuse it for something else after the candle burns all the way down.

One Lucky TTGG follower will be winning a The SOI Co. luxe box Soy Candle of their own!

Ma Mi Sunny Days Sunscreen

I received the Ma Mi Sunny Days Sunscreen they sent me 4 smaller sizes because they ran out of full size and that was ok with me since the smaller ones are easier to keep in your purse or diaper bag. Here is what I was sent. With all of the sunscreens out there it is nice to have some natural skincare.

This technologically advanced sun block, rated SPF 30, combines specific ingredients to defend against free radical production, collagen breakdown and the premature aging of skin.  Sunny Days is a physical sun block that serves as a safe alternative to chemical sun block products  that use Benzophenone (or its derivatives Benzophenone-3 or Oxybenzone) that can pose health risks for pregnant or breastfeeding moms and children as well.

Sunny Days utilizes the mineral Titanium Dioxide along with Plant-Derived Peptides and Green Tea Polyphenols to form a natural, protective layer on the skin to provide broad spectrum protection against UV-A, UV-B and infrared rays.  This lightweight, transparent, fragrance-free formula provides quality sun protection while minimizing the signs of premature aging and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. In fact, it’s so gentle it can be used to protect the delicate eye area, recent scars (c-section) and even on kids.

It smells great and rubs in so smooth and it was not greasy at all.

Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops Review

Todays review is on Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops. I was sent a great package full of my favorite cough drops as a child. These were the only cough drops that we used at my house when I was growing up and I was excited to try these again and do this review.

My favorite is still the cherry even though the honey is still great. I like both sizes and I keep the puck in my purse and I refill with the bags. They still taste and look the same as when I was a little girl and now that I can find them at my local CVS I will only be buying these.

Ulysses S. Grant was President, the population of America hovered at 39 million, and the telephone was still a pipe dream, when in 1870 J. Herman Pine hung out a confectionery shingle on 8th Street above Walnut in Philadelphia and, along with his brother, sold their first batch of what they called 'Pine Brothers Glycerine Tablets.' In an attempt to relieve his own sore throat and those of his family members, Mr. Pine, a former German confectionery maker, determined that by combining the soothing natural qualities of glycerin with the healing properties of gum acacia, he could sooth and mitigate the mild discomfort of a sore throat. Add in some natural flavoring and a sweetener and voila, Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops were born. "I have discovered something," Pine wrote, "which will give quick throat relief to thousands afflicted as I was." He added,"Perhaps I won't make much money out of this. But I can make people happy, and that's more important than money." Mr. Pine was being unduly modest, as his "discovery" would become one of the most successful, most delicious and most unique throat lozenges in the world. Nor has the recipe changed appreciably since it was first introduced to the public over 140 years ago.
In 1930 Pine Brothers was sold to the Life Savers Company and continued to flourish. Known for its 'soft drop consistency,' Pine Brothers lozenges became a favorite of adults and children alike. The product, which attracted healthiest sales in the eastern and northern states, due to its icy winters, reached its peak popularity in the 1970's. The company was sold by Life Savers, and then, having been re-sold and acquired a number of times, found itself essentially rudderless and under appreciated; this despite a legion of loyal consumers. Cost cutting changes were made to the original recipes, packaging became stale and marketing non-existent; Pine Brothers began to be made overseas. Sales declined.
Recently, Pine Brothers was acquired by the creator and former owner of Airborne, Victoria Knight-McDowell, for her new company 3 Sisters Home Products™. Much time and effort has been spent locating the original Pine Brothers recipes, redesigning the packaging, and creating an exciting yet classic new look. The natural product is once again being made in America, and is launching nationally in fall 2011. At which time old Mr. Pine, will succeed once again in "making people happy." God bless him!
