Countdown To Christmas: Olive Sandwiches - The Christmas Stuff

Ever hear of Olive Sandwiches? If not, you are missing some of the funniest things out there. They offer a broad line of retro-humor products for women of all ages. Seriously, there is something for everyone, and you don’t have to have a weird sense of humor like me to enjoy it (or even to find it funny).  I recently tried out two of their products (actually, at the same time too!).  First, I tried out the bath salts.  They smell good.  I also locked myself in the bathroom, so I could truly enjoy them and give an unbiased review (now, the hubby didn’t believe that, but I still locked myself in there).  You know you have a great bath salt when it makes you laugh at the packaging.  I included the image that I thought extremely funny.  For my bath, I tried out the brown sugar fig and truly enjoyed it.  While I was enjoying my bath without interruption, I also tried out some of Olive Sandwiches Chocolates.  These too have funny sayings on them like I taught Santa Everything He Knows and Visions of Sugar Daddies Danced In Her Head.  These organic chocolate bars taste awesome.  Now, you don’t have to eat them while you are in the tub like I did, but I got to enjoy some alone time with chocolate, relaxation, and humor.  Thank you Olive Sandwiches!

Green Works Dish Soap

I am always in the market for trying new products.  I also find that now I have kids that we have also been trying to buy more products that are environmentally friendly.  I don’t want to leave a world for my children and my grandchildren to have to clean up.  Green Works Dish Soap is definitely fits what I am looking for.  I can honestly say that this dish soap does its job.  We’ve tried buying several brands of dish soap before, and a lot of them just do not get the dishes clean.  However, this dish soap definitely does!  It passes the stuck on kid foods (which means lots of dried on ketchup among other things).  I am also very sensitive to most detergents and dish soaps (I break out in hives after using them).  However, I had absolutely no problems with this.  It also smells nice.

To quote their site, “All Green Works natural cleaners are made using plant-based ingredients derived from coconuts, as well as essential oils. The products are formulated using biodegradable ingredients, are packaged in bottles that can be recycled and not tested on animals.”  I couldn’t say it better.  Who wouldn’t want to use a product that is both natural and is environmentally friendly in both its ingredients and packaging?

Froot Loops Cereal Straws

If you just got done reading diet pill reviews, this is not a review you want to read. This doesn’t fall under anything I personally would eat on diet. However, getting my 4 year old to drink milk is like pulling teeth, so anything that makes her want to drink is a good thing.  When I saw these (and the coupon I found helped too), I thought this may be exactly what I was looking for.  The straw is about 6 inches long.  It has a crunchy cereal shell on the outside and a fruity flavor lining.  Madison (my four year old) loves them!  It has gotten her to drink more milk.  Would I buy these again?  Probably not.  There were two things that I wasn’t exactly pleased about.  First, once you open the packaging there is no way to keep the other straws fresh.  The second problem is why I probably won’t buy them again, and that is that I’d say 3/4 of the straws were broken.  You can still use them as a straw, but when you have a 2-3 inch straw, it is kinda useless.  If Kellogg’s can solve their packaging issue with this, I will definitely buy these again!
