How many times have you just finished preparing a delicious chicken breast or a juicy steak, but when you put it on the plate, you have nothing to go with it? Yes, it does look very lonely there all by itself; it needs some friends to keep it company! You could break out the pot and steam some veggies or you could roast some potatoes to go with it. But wait, there's an easier way. With a dash of imagination, a pinch of culinary skill, and a heap of flavor, Green Giant Seasoned Steamers™ are giving you a new reason to enjoy eating your vegetables.

A few weeks ago, I received a 30-day supply of Flushy, Trashy, and Sinky to review. When I first received the package, I have to admit that I was somewhat taken back at the small size: I received 4 pouches each of the Flushy and Sinky; along with 4-ounces of Trashy. But, after thinking about it for a moment, I realized that I'm only going to be cleaning the toilet and garbage disposal once each week. So, I will only need four pouches (If you have more than one toilet, like us, you may need to get two (2) packages of Flushy to last a month). As for the Trashy, I found in my first application that a little goes a long way and I have yet to even hit the halfway point on the bottle. Now, let's take a look at each one.
Flushy: As I mentioned, this package contains four (4) water soluble pouches, which you will use to clean your toilet. All you do is take one (1) pouch and drop it into your toilet, wait about 5-10 seconds for it to start foaming, then you take your toilet brush and clean as you normally would. 
Sinky: This package also contains four (4) foaming pouches. With these, you place one (1) pouch in the drain and run the hot water for approximately 10-15 seconds, where the pouch will dissolve and begin to foam. If you have a garbage disposal, turn it on for a few seconds to help Sinky to clean and deodorize it. Since it was difficult to actually see Sinky in action when I placed it in our disposal, I took a flashlight and observed it in action. Sure enough, a few seconds after the hot water hit, Sinky began to foam. Once I was sure that it was actually working, I turned-on our garbage disposal and let Sinky do its work. These cleaning packets are said to help break down grease and food scraps to help prevent
clogs and slow drains. Used weekly, Sinky will scour your drain and
disposal driving-out odors at their source leaving a fresh, botanical
scent. 
Trashy: This guy comes in a 4-ounce spray bottle. Although you may not think this would be near enough to last a month, I have to say that a little goes a long way with Trashy. I use it on our cat litter boxes (we have two, because we have picky cats) and on our indoor trash container. Whenever I change the cat box, which is several times a day, I give it a spray of Trashy along the edge and wipe it down with a piece of toilet paper (although you can just let it evaporate on its own within a few minutes) and I immediately get a nice, fresh scent and the cat odor vanishes.Surprisingly, after only a few applications, the regular litter box odor that we usually smelled in the house has vanished. I also use Trashy whenever I change the trash bag. I give the bottom of the trash container one or two sprays and then put in the bag. Again, the odor is gone and the active ingredients keep odors from coming back.
. As a side-note, they are eligible for Supersaver shipping, so if you're short of the $25 limit to qualify on your order, at only $4.99 each, these products make a great "stocking stuffer" to make-up the difference.

They say everything is better with bacon, but who would have thought that this applies to T-shirts? Well, I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised when my t-shirt from Bacon Wrapped Tees arrived in the mail. As you can tell from the picture, they had a lot of fun designing this shirt. I particularly like it, because I am currently teaching my oldest (who calls it an awesome shirt) chemistry, so it is especially relevant for me. I mean, spelling out BACON by using the periodic table? I mean, it's both fun AND instructive (it also kinda makes me hungry, but that's something for another post).
Now, on to the review portion:
Going Green has never felt so good and here is a company that practices what it preaches. Seventh Generation is a company that believes in using plants as a base for their raw materials and ingredients. Although, many of the plant-derived ingredients can be made synthetically using petroleum products, they believe that reliance on finite resources is not a viable option for the future of our planet. In fact, their company name, "Seventh Generation", denotes their business philosophy: 
Starting this month, a new flavor will be joining the Yoplait family. Let's all put out hands together and give a warm welcome to the:

You can save money on brands from more than 100 categories such as, General Mills, PepsiCo, Unilever, Heinz, Mars, Wrigley, and Kimberly Clark. 
Many of us strive to maintain a heart healthy diet, but in this hectic world, it can sometimes be difficult. Many, myself included, are tempted by just grabbing the first thing that catches our eye and call it breakfast. After all, it's much easier to just grab a donut while ordering that cup of coffee, than to try and think of a healthy alternative. Well, I'm happy to say that it got much simpler (which is a good thing in the mornings), because Cheerios cereal, which is made with 100 percent whole grain oats, is an easy way to help maintain a healthy heart. Now, since I'm one who likes to tinker, I usually like to add a banana or some blueberries to the bowl and let them swim with the cereal.
As those who follow my site may know, back in August of 2008, I began a weight-loss program in order to reclaim my life. You see, back then I weighed a whopping 296 pounds of pure, unadulterated fat. It happened that one day I passed in front of a window and when I glanced up, I saw a stranger staring back at me. It was then and there that I decided I HAD to lose weight. I went online (well, there's a shock) and looked into exercise machines and since my preferred method of exercise is strength training, I narrowed my search to those types of machines. Since I'm cheap and didn't want to spend a great deal of money, I quickly eliminated machines costing too much (over $250). After my search, I ended up getting my beloved Total Gym and I've been using it ever since.
