Are you looking for a Zero Calorie Soda? How about an All Natural Pop? Zevia has the best of both worlds to offer you! They feature All Natural and Zero Calorie Sodas. Zevia has 7 different flavors to offer. These flavors include: Dr Zevia, Cola, Black Cherry, Orange, Ginger Ale, Lemon Lime Twist, and Ginger Root beer.
Zevia has sent me 1 mixed pack of their soda for review. The shipping of this product was very timely. When it arrived, I had to make sure to not to open it in front of my son... Or I would have lost the cans to him. My hubby and I tried the Ginger Root Beer and the Lemon-Lime Twist. I will have to admit the root beer smelled and tasted like Regular Root Beer. The Lemon-Lime twist reminded me a lot of Squirt. But the Zevia version had more of a natural sugar type taste. It was a flavor I was new to. Zivea is a great alternative to regular Diet Sodas. Shhhh, Don't tell anyone. I did stash the Black Cherry so no one else will drink it but me. :D
Buy It: You can buy these online at Zevia or at your Local Grocers - like Krogers.
Win It: The wonderful Zevia People have offered to give one of my lucky a 6 pack of Mixed Flavors.
Mandatory Entry: Go to the Zevia Website and tell me one think you learned about their soda.

Have you ever wanted to have a Gourmet Dinner, but just didn't feel like driving to a restaurant? Well now the Restaurant can be found in your own freezer. Macaroni Grill has come out with new Frozen Entrees. Now you can have Restaurant Style food n the comfort of your own home.
I received a Frozen Macaroni Grill Frozen Entree through My Blog Spark. This meal came in 2 packages. One contained Dry Ice and the Frozen Dinner. The other package Contained a Blow/dish and a set of Tongs. I got to try the Grilled Chicken Florentine. The back of the package says serves 2, but we used this as a side dish to feed 5. This would defiantly be a great size meal for 2 people. Overall, this dish was extremely easy to make. All you do is add 1/3 cup of milk, heat it up and within 20 minutes you have a meal ready to serve. I personally expected the chicken and noodles to be a little on the dryer side - but to my surprise I was wrong. This great meal came with the dish and tongs shown above. These were a perfect touch to making your home meal feel like you were in a Macaroni Grill Restaurant. This id defiantly a great meal to creat for a special in home Date night.

Are you looking for that perfect t-shirt? One that will make everyone laugh? Well, look no farther. BadIdea Tee's has the shirts you are looking for. They have Funny T-Shirts for men and women alike. Bad Idea is now also carrying American Apparel Shirts!
The people at BadIdea T-Shirts sent me a Grab-bag (random) shirt in my size. They were great on shipping. The quality of the shirt was great. They sent me the "Don't Hit Kids" Babydoll Shirt I got the chance to actually wear this shirt this past weekend. I got the most laughs from this shirt alone then I have from any other "funny" style Tee. The fit of this shirt is Great. Usually when I get a Women's X-Large Shirt they fit tight in all the wrong spots. This shirt fit loose, but not too lose. It was a great length - it actually came past the belt line on my jeans. I love having a Feminine cut shirt that has funny sayings.

With School just starting, Master Lock has come out with 2 new Locks - The Speed Dial and Precision Dial Locks.
The revolutionary Speed Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Lock features a first-of-its-kind design that opens on directional movements – up, down, left and right – instead of a standard rotary dial. The lock is faster to open than traditional locks, saving students valuable time as they hurry to and from class. The innovative lock is customizable, allowing students to create their own easy-to-remember, resettable combination with any number of movements in any sequence. For those who prefer more traditional methods of recalling their combination, the lock includes adhesive letters, numbers, colors, shapes and symbols that can be applied over the lock's directional arrows. It also offers a helpful solution for visually impaired students, as users don't need to see the dial to open it.
The Precision Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Lock from Master Lock offers users a new resettable combination feature in a familiar format. Busy students can leave memorization for their history books and choose their own combination for this lock using three letters or numbers. The lock operates with a standard right-left-right movement, and an enclosed reset tool ensures students will never need to worry about forgetting their combination again.
“The back to school video series is a fresh way to engage teens and communicate the functionality and security our combination locks provide,” said Rebecca Smith, vice president, marketing for Master Lock. “We know being a teen is hard enough and believe products like ours can help minimize everyday stress.”
‘The Secret Combination to Surviving the Teen Years’ online video series launches Monday, August 2, and features ten humorous videos depicting familiar school scenes that all students – and even parents – can relate to. A letter of the day will appear at the end of each video, and viewers can use all ten letters to answer the question, “what is the secret combination to surviving the teen years?”
Participants are encouraged to watch the videos as that were released between August 2 – 6. After watching all ten videos, participants can piece together the master combination and enter for a chance to win the grand prize of a new iPad with a gift card good for a two-year data plan, along with other prizes, from August 13 – 29. For complete official rules and prize description, visit www.masterlock.com/secretcombination_rules.pdf.
Did you figure out the Combination for Surviving the Teen Years?
Master Lock has sent me one of the Speed Dial and one Precision Dial Lock for review. These locks both have a great new spin on the traditional combination lock. My favorite of the two so far would have to be the Speed Dial. It is extremely easy to work one handed. This lock comes in convenience when you are at the gym and may have a sweat towel or something in your hands that you don't want to put down to unlock your locker. It is also great because it can be opened so quickly that other people wont be able to see the Pattern you used. This lock is easy enough for even a 4 year old to open (he thinks this lock is his....hmmm, we will have to change that) The precision dial is also a great lock. It has a combination of numbers and letters to create your combination. This lock style makes many more possibilities for combinations so your valuables can stay safe!

He actually couldn't wait to wear it. It reminded me of a kid on Christmas Day. This shirt has gone through the wash at least 3 times since we have received it.

Are your kids having troubles in school? Are they finding that learning to in school is boring? If so, then I have the product for you! Rock 'N Learn makes learning fun. They combine music with learning. They offer programs such as Phonics, Math, Science and More.
Rock 'N Learn was created by 2 brothers - Richard and Brad Caudle. Richard worked as a school psychologist when he teamed with his musician brother to create this wonderful program. Brad's wife - a former second grade teacher - writes the material and coordinates educational research. Richards wife manages sales and marketing. Their headquarters is based out of Texas. The people at Rock 'N Learn sent me their Phonics Volume 1 and 2 for review. The concept of this idea is Great. As a music lover, I have always found that music makes learning easier and more fun. This program is great for any age - even though they are recommended for ages 6 and up. Phonics Volume 1 teaches your child Vowels, Short Sounds, Oral Blending, Plural Sounds and S endings, and the Silent E Sounds. If your child is like mine, he/she will be up and singing along with the program. Each DVD runs about 70 minutes in total. This is definatly a great program for that child who is struggling in school or for the parents that want to expose their child to learning early.

The great people over at Terracycle sent me a CapriSun Lunchbox and Pencil Case. My first impression of these was "That's Too Cool!" I never realized how sturdy and solid CapriSun drink pouches could be. My son saw these, and claimed the lunchbox saying "mommy, this is mine and Ill let you have this" handing me the pencil case. Isn't he so kind? This lunchbox fits a sandwich (wrapped in a sandwich bag) and CapriSun perfectly. It also is a great carrying case for a young child. It holds many hot wheel cars and other small toys.

*This review is 100% my opinion. I received the product(s) above for review purposes only. I was not paid for this review.
Are you tired of using plastic sandwich bags for your lunches - only to find out that by the time lunch comes around your sandwich is squished by that apple you decided to take? How about all that time trying to rearrange your child's lunchbox, so all the plastic containers fit - only to find out that you didn't have room for his/her drink? Those were the excuses I had used for not taking a lunch to work myself - I was tired of squished sandwiches and unmatched containers. So when i was offered to do a review of EasyLunchbox I Jumped at the chance!
EasyLunch box is a company dedicated to ... well Lunch boxes! And with School around the corner this is a great place to look for Kids Lunch boxes. It was created by a mother who was frustrated with the routine of making daily lunches. Her solution is the simple two piece Easy Lunchbox container. The bottom piece has 3 compartments - one to hold a sandwich or entree and 2 for side dishes. It comes with a fitted lid (included in 4 colors) that covers all 3 compartments at once. No more squished sandwiches, mismatched plastic containers, or wasteful baggies! The container is made to fit perfectly inside the roomy EasyLunchbox custom bag. This is a great source for an easier, faster and greener lunch making process.
This is a great system for everyone to have! I was extremely impressed how easy the container snapped together - even my 3 1/2 year old can use it. I personally chose the black bag and container set to review, Figuring this would be the most versatile color for the whole family to use. I am looking forward to getting a lot of use out of it this upcoming school year! I have a DH who is a substitute teacher and takes lunches every day. Now he wont have to worry about taking a batman or toy story bag that barely holds a sandwich much less a side dish. Its great that the containers are DISH Washer and Microwave Safe. Now i don't have to worry about finding an extra plate when i bring something that needs to be rewarmed. And the great thing about this system... it comes with 4 containers. This is especially great when both my husband and i want to take healthy lunches to work the same day. Also you can put multiple containers in the bag - so if you and your family wanted to take a lunch to the beach or park - you can do so with out having to take separate boxes. You can buy this set- with a bag color of your choice - at their online store
Or you can win it! EasyLunchboxes.com is allowing me to giveaway one of these systems to one of my followers!
