Emerson Creek Pottery Go Green Apple Baker Review & Giveaway

Life According To GreenVics Holiday Gift Guide

This is completely non-toxic, 100% Virginia Clay.  These Go Green Apple Bakers by Emerson Creek Pottery are hand made in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  

I absolutely love this apple baker.  It's so easy to use, and works fantastic! Below is a sweet treat my husband made for our Toddler. 

Instead of a bunch of overly sugar treats, we cored an apple, placed it in the middle of the apple baker.

We then added just a pinch of sugar, and some Ground Cinnamon.

And let the apple bake in the Oven, it was done in no time.

Rather my husband make this as a snack for our toddler than any other sweet treat.  Personally, I wanted Vanilla IceCream in the middle of mine after baking but.. Someone ate all my Ice Cream!

A few ideas,  Bake apples with the Go Green Apple Baker, You can even do 3-4 apples and place around the apple baker.  Once the apple has baked with Cinnamon Sugar, Let cool to warm, and add some Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.

Or, You could even bake a bunch of these apples, cut into slices, and use for plain oatmeal, or to just eat alone as a snack.

Konsyl Original Psyllium Fiber

Get 75% more from your Fiber Supplement with Konsyl Original,

enter for a chance to win Konsyl Orignal PLUS 

& A $75.00 American Express Giftcard!

I don't care who you are,  or how old you are.. things like psyllium fiber are needed.  Even if you think your diet is high in fiber from the foods you eat.. most of the time it is not enough.  The fact that Konsyl is Heart Healthy, and Helps lower cholestrol should be enough to make us.  As humans,  as living organisms want to regulate our bodies to work to their fullest potentials. 

Konsyl has 75% more psyllium fiber than competiters to ensure that users will receive the full benefits of psyllium fiber. It is also Sugar & Gluten free.  100% Natural.

To review Konsyl I was sent the packet powder pysllium fibers, and an easy to use shaker cup.  The packet pouches are perfect for having a few in the car for when you just don't feel good for the day,  maybe you're sluggish, and your body just doesn't feel like itself.  My husband always has a few extra packs in the car also in case he forgets to drink his in the morning.

For each packet, you need 8 oz of water.  You shake for a few seconds, and drink quickly.  It's important to drink quickly so the fiber doesn't thicken too much,  that can be a choking hazard ONLY if you dont use the proper amount of water, shake & drink fast enough.  

If you don't have a shaker cup, just use your water bottle.  Once the water bottle if half way full, thats about 8 oz.  Add to that.  It's really good in flavored water too.

I always feel more like myself when I take fiber.  I'm not as sluggish.  Everyones body is different, but in reality, everyones body needs fiber.  

In Celebration of offering 75% More fiber, Konsyl is also offering one lucky follower to win Konsyl Original & A $75.00 Amex Gift Card.

Boylan's Winter Wonderbox Review & Giveaway

by Life According To GreenVics

Boylan Bottling Co.  Winter Wonderbox Review

Made with Sugar Cane!

Creamy Birch Beer Floats = Family Tradition To Me.

Creamy Red Boylan's Birch Beer Float

Here's a great recipe to make an easy Creamy Birch Beer float. First you'll need Creamy Red Boylan's BIRCH BEER, and Vanilla IceCream. Scoop four scoops of icecream into the mug, use a bottle opener to pop the top off the Birch Beer.  Finally pour the Boylans over the IceCream.

Look At Those Delicious Layers

Would you like a Creamy Red Boylan's Birch Beer Float too?! Read my review & Enter below for a chance to win a case!! Boylan's has been creating some of the best sugar cane sodas since 1891.  This specific Winter WonderBox(Retails $15.00) consists of twelve glass 12oz bottles.  Flavors included are (three of each):

• Creamy Birch Beer
• Root Beer
• Black Cherry
• Ginger Ale

The glass bottles, along with the sugar cane sweetness gave me this vintage feeling.  Like how Soda should be.  It really was a treat, and was my Toddlers first ever ice cream float. I believe in creating family traditions.  To me,  something as simple, and easy as making a Birch Beer Ice Cream float can be that tradition to share during the Holidays.  

Someone likes the Float!

Everything I do, I do for this little Guy right here.  His happiness comes before everything.  To see him enjoy this float with me, made me miss my family that's 800 miles away.  Being from a family of 8 in one household,  and all of us having a killer sweet tooth making our own root beer floats at home saved money, and still allowed us to do something together as a family.

If you are a No Caffiene, Sodium Free, No Artificial Colors, Or Flavors, Preservative free kind've family the Ginger Ale is something you should look into trying from Boylans.

I received Boylans Winter Wonderbox for free, for my honest opinion.  This Soda really is delicious!!

Bow-N-Ties Review

by Life According To GreenVics

Designer hand made ties from $9.90 to $24.90.. yes, it's true.  I didn't think the quality of the tie would be this good when I had the opportunity to review Bow-N-Ties but it met our expectations, and then some.

Use promo code: GHK67TR to get 20% Off!! (Expires 10/21/2012)

My husband loves his ties.  It used to be mandatory at his job for them to wear ties.  He still can wear them, so he was happy to be part of this Bow-N-Ties Review.

His thoughts on the tie were, "I thought it was classy, and elagant." He also expressed how sweet it was he has a new tie.  It's been years since he's been givin a tie. 

This is the Cavallieri Pin Dot Tie in Merlot.  It's 100% Silk, and hand made.  I thought the quality of the tie was beautiful for just being $24.90.  Every tie on Bow-N-Ties website are under $25.00.  I saw some really nice ones for just $9.90 too.

The tie was extremely well made.  Very soft.  And just looked great around my husbands neck.  His smile said it all.  To me that is just beautiful. 

What fantastic gifts these ties would make.

CollageIt Downloadable Software Review

by Life According To GreenVics

CollageIt Downloadable Software Review.

Downloading the Software from CollageIt was extremely easy.  Set up was literally just a few clicks.  It can be used on Windows, or Mac.  

I customized my own layout in CollageIt, and added pictures of Sy for a halloween theme.  I also changed the color of the background.  I have so many ideas on what I want to use this collage for.  Most importantly would be to print, and add to scrape books.  Then I can add even more personalized touches.   

The overall ease of useage for this program was extremely user friendly.   Easy to use, and navigate.  To add images there is an Add button on the left bottom side.  Then you can drag those images into the Template Layout picked out. You can even Shuffle things around if you're not "sure" if that is how you like it.  If you are looking for an easy program, that loads fast, and doesn't drain your memory, I would suggest this easy collage software.
