Review of Flushy, Trashy and Sinky--Natural House Products

As a person who is really trying to make a point of using only natural products, I was very happy to have received a month's supply of three Natural House products, Flushy, Trashy and Sinky. I love the cute names, but don't let that fool you when it comes to the jobs these natural household cleaning products work!

Flushy is for the toilet, sinky is for the sink, and trash is of course for the trash can. With flushy you just drop one of the packets in the toilet and watch as it breaks apart, foams and does a great job of cleaning your toilet the natural way, with products that won't harm either your toilet or the environment. It works like a charm!

I used Sinky in my kitchen sink, have actually used it twice in the last few weeks, and I can almost feel it cleaning my pipes with no guilt for me from using harm chemicals, nor worry about these dangerous chemicals harming my family or pets.

Trashy is a spray that you use on your trash can, both inside and out. I was amazed at this natural home cleaning product, for when I sprayed it on the outside of my dirty white kitchen trash can, it began cleaning before I even used a sponge to help out!

The image below gives a great visual of how the products work:

Review: Complete Idiot's Guide to American History VS. US History for Dummies

I received copies of both books in order to compare them and write this review. No monetary compensation was received and a positive review was not required. The views and opinions expressed are 100% my own.

From the book:

American history is one of those subjects that students frequently labor over and can seem like a random collection of names, dates, and events. Understood as a collective biography and free of the cheerleading found in many text books, the fully updated fifth edition of The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to American History explains the changing tides in America's most pivotal periods.

• From a seasoned author and researcher
• The most current and comprehensive series title on American history
• Heightened interest right now in the question of how America got where we are-a question that can only be answered by an understanding of history
About the Author
Alan Axelrod, Ph.D., has nearly 20 years of history book writing expertise and is the author of The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to the American Revolution, The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to the Civil War, Second Edition and The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to World War I. He is now the president of the Ian Samuel Group, Inc., a research and writing firm.

From the book:

Filled with fascinating trivia and lore not found in textbooks. People, places, and dates with a dash of fun — history will never be the same! Don't know much about history? Don't worry! With this friendly reference, you can bone up on all those facts you missed in history class — and have a good time in the bargain. From the Revolution to the Civil War, from the Great Depression to the Cold War, this is history the way it ought to be — fresh, memorable, and fun.

Discover how to: Astound friends with fun facts about the Founding Fathers Understand terms like "Manifest Destiny" Get a grip on the legacy of slavery Impress your family with Civil War lore Put current events in historical context.
The Dummies Way™ Explanations in plain English "Get in, get out" information Icons and other navigational aids Tear-out cheat sheet Top ten lists A dash of humor and fun.


I took the challenge of comparing the above two books and these are my conclusions:

Each book had its strong points. For instance, The Complete Idiot's Guide to American History was really much more interesting as a piece of reading material. My husband, who is quite the history buff and whose opinion I sought, even stated that he was much more drawn in by the writing of this book as opposed to the other.

However, I was much more impressed with the total layout of US History for Dummies. It was easier for me personally to navigate through.

Both books were thorough and worth having.

For me readers, I have a 50% off coupon code for any book from Idiot's Guides.com.
The coupon code is CIGBlog11 and allows for 50% off of one order of regularly priced books from www.idiotsguides.com. The discount is effective immediately and runs through October 31.

A great euphonious in every box

Review of Straight Talk Cell Phone Service

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

As a current customer of Straight Talk this is going to be an easy review to write. I was sold on Straight Talk, Hook, line and sinker from the very beginning of using the service. For one thing, the great Motorola phone that I got, free, with my monthly cell phone service is an awesome phone with a camera, mp3 player, web access and blue tooth capability. Did I mention it was free? 

I just learned that now there is also Android on Straight Talk, which sweetens the pot even more!

For a taste of what real Straight Talk customers have to say, check out this YouTube video:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Idm12bvAdeE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

There is no contract with Straight Talk, and no credit check. For $45 a month I get unlimited, nationwide service with connectivity that is awesome. I can Call a friend in New York from Texas and never have the call dropped, not once has it happened. 

Straight talk offers also free activation and even reactivation. There are no termination fees. 

In conclusion, there is not a cell phone service that I could recommend more highly. 

Review of Comfort Zone

Pet behavior problems, such as urine marking in cats and excessive barking or chewing in dogs, are frequently caused by fear or stress. Developed and recommended by veterinarians, Comfort Zone® products are clinically proven* to help control destructive behavior in cats and dogs.

Like all animals, cats and dogs secrete pheromones. Research has shown that certain pheromones can help an animal cope with these fears or stress-related issues. Comfort Zone® products mimic these pheromones to help control your pet's behavior and make him feel more secure in his environment.

Review of Comparison Shopping Site, Canada Post

Don't let the name of this great comparison shopping site, Canada Post, fool you, fellow Americans! The extremely advanced data analyzing technology of Canada Post finds the best deals for both Canadians and Americans, for both offline and online shops and retailers. There are several features of Canada Post that sets it apart from other comparison shopping sites. For one thing, with each item you research you will discover the price history of the product, cross-border shopping comparisons-complete with shipping and any other duty fees--and even user reviews of the product so you can make a totally informed decision before purchasing the item you are interested in.

When I visited Canada Post I was specifically interested in finding deals on books. Little did I know I would spend at least an hour just checking out all the great features of Canada Post. As an online retailer myself I was tickled to discover that you can list your products on the site and only pay per click when a visitor actually visits your site, and this system is a whole lot cheaper to use than Adwords.

Overall, I really love Canada post and found some great deals on books. The only thing I didn't care for was the fact that I am not a Canadian resident, so I couldn't enter the $1000 Visa card giveaway they are having every week through Sept. 21st! :(

Review of MY FOOLISH HEART Susan May Warren

When you enter the worlds created by RITA Award winning writer Susan May Warren, you know you are in for a big fat treat. MY FOOLISH HEART is no exception. I was particularly able to relate to the main character, Isadora Presley, who was almost agoraphobic, (afraid to leave the house) after being involved in a terrible accident. I too was in an accident when I was younger and have struggled with panic attacks and driving-related anxiety for many years. I understand the feeling of not wanting to chance reaching beyond your comfort zone.

Issy, as she's called by her family and friends, is the host of a radio show called My Foolish Heart. As the voice of the lovelorn, Issy dispenses advice even though she herself has no romance in her own life. The town of Deep Haven would be surprised to learn this.

However, all of that changes for Isadora when she connects with a lonely male listener. Little does Issy realize, this perfect man for her lives right next door!

A lighthearted, fun and romantic summer read, MY FOOLISH HEART is definitely worth indulging yourself in. Susan May Warren has a way of touching her readers with her sweet and common sense characters, great plots, and beautiful landscapes.

Juppy Baby Walker Review

I was fortunate enough to receive a free Juppy Baby Walker to try out and review here on my blog. I have to say, this invention has saved my back, that's for sure! The Juppy baby walker allows you to help your child learn to walk without bending, grappling, or worrying about falling, for either you are your child.

This product is easily washable and small enough to take with you anywhere! The Juppy has a panel that wraps around your baby and between their legs for stability. One size fits all babies. I really recommend the Juppy Baby Walker to any mom of a child who is determined to try walking! Your baby is going to walk and walk faster and more easily with the Juppy, and you won't have to strain!
