Bio+Green Crystals Cleaning Products Review
Bio+Green Crystals line of eco-friendly household cleaning products include seven different cleaning products that are completely non toxic. These crystal cleaners are also 100% bio degradable so not only are they safe for you but they are safe for the environment as well.
Bio Green Crystals is dedicated and proud to provide ZERO-WASTE cleaning products to consumers. Our crystal cleaners are individually packed in bio degradable sachet and ready to be used in seconds. A Single sachet can make up to 32oz spray of crystal clean, bio cleaner and works like regular household cleaners. Our bio cleaners are not like other eco cleaning products you can buy at local grocery stores. Our cleaners are one of the only few cleaning supply qualify as nutraceutical grade.
The Bio+Green household cleaning products include: Glass and Window Cleaners, All-Purpose Cleaner, Natural Degreaser, Bathroom and Odor Neutralizing Cleaner, Stainless Steel Cleaner, Child Safe Multi-Purpose Toy Cleaners, and a Fruit and Vegetable Wash.
These cleaners are very simple to use. The water-soluble pouches contain pre measured amounts of cleaning compounds. Put them in water and the pouch and powder dissolve making a cleaning solution.
I was given the All-Purpose Crystals and Stainless Steel Crystals for review as well as a Bio-Green spray bottle for convenience. These products worked a lot better then I expected, especially for natural products. The All-Purpose Cleaner left my countertops very clean. I was surprised when I looked at the towel I was using to clean with and found dirt on it! This is a great cleaner for hard surfaces and countertops anywhere in your home. The Stainless Steel Cleaner was great at removing fingerprints from my refrigerator and did not leave any streaks. It also did a nice job of cleaning my stainless steel cooktop and leaving it grease and grime free.
All in all I love these products, not only do they work but I love that they are free of toxins that may be harmful to me and my family. You can purchase them online.

güd from Burts Bees Product review
Burt’s Bees recently launched a new line called güd! This fun, new collection includes all the “gud” stuff of sunshine and laughter! Treat your senses to4 luscious scents; Floral Cherrynova,Orange Petalooza, Vanilla Flame and Pearanormal Activity. This new line includes body, hair, hands, and fragrance products. Just like Burt's Bees products they contain natural ingredients and are never tested on animals. And of course contain NO parabens, pthalates, or petrochemicals! I love Burt's Bees products and use them all the time so when I heard about this new line I was very exited to try it. I was given several products in the collection including Orange Petalooza Natural Softening Conditioner, Floral Cherrynova Natural Body Mist , Orange Petalooza Natural Body Butter, Vanilla Flame Natural Hand cream, and Pearanormal Activity Natural Foaming Hand Wash.
The first thing I noticed about these products is their fun floral packaging. It is very girly and I can see tweens and teenagers alike loving this stuff. The second thing I noticed was how fabulous the products smell. Vanilla Flame smells good enough to eat, Orange Petalooza is sweet and citrus-y, Pearanormal Activity has a clean almost floral scent, and my favorite Floral Cherrynova has a slightly floral, semi sweet, and nutty scent that is absolutely delicious. As usual Burt's Bees has not let me down. I love all of these products and have been using them on a daily basis. I especially love the Natural Softening Conditioner that I have been using on my little girl Penelope's hair. It leaves her hair soft and smelling sooo good. As soon as she is finished with her current shampoo (another Burt's Bees product) I am going to be purchasing some güd shampoo.
You can purchase these products and more online or in several retail stores.

Everyone’s Berry Best Friend Returns in Two Fun-Filled Adventures Arriving on DVD March 6
If you just got done reading my Strawberry Shortcake Berry Brick Road and Bloomin' Berry Garden review then you will be excited for these Berry Treats! These aren't your traditional strawberry delights these are better! So go out and pick up your copy of Strawberry Shortcake Berry Brick Road and Bloomin' Berry Garden and while your at it pick up a few ingredients for your favorite berry desserts. Your little girl will love making them with you!
This take on a classic summer treat is sure to please the kids without giving them an insane sugar high! All you need are graham crackers, softened cream cheese and sliced berries (adding in chocolate is optional as these are delicious without it). Just break the graham cracker in half, spread about a table spoon of cream cheese on one side, add some berries on top, and put the other half of the graham cracker on top. Now you have an easy, delicious, healthy s’more to enjoy!
Blueberry Muffins
These delicious blueberry muffins are an easy six-ingredient fix for your berry cravings! All you need is a cup and a half of flour, 1 egg, a half cup of milk, one fourth cup of oil, a half cup of sugar, and one cup of fresh or frozen berries. First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees and grease a muffin pan. Next, beat the egg, and stir in the milk and oil, then add your dry ingredients (the batter should be lumpy). Gently stir in the blueberries and fill your muffin tins, then bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are a nice golden brown.
Strawberry Trifle
A yummy strawberry trifle is the perfect treat to eat while enjoying the new Strawberry Shortcake DVDs! To make it you need four tablespoons of sugar, two pints of fresh strawberries (chopped), four ounces of softened cream cheese, two cups of whipping cream, one pre-made pound cake, and one half cup of melted, seedless raspberry jelly. First, stir two tablespoons of sugar into the sliced strawberries. Next, beat the remaining two tablespoons of sugar into the cream cheese. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form, and then gently fold the cream into the cream cheese/sugar mixture. Then, cut the pound cake into slices that are about 1/3 inch thick. Arrange a layer of those slices at the bottom of a glass bowl (or a festive clear glass container of your choosing), then drizzle with the melted jelly. Next, add a layer of strawberries and a layer of the cream cheese mixture. Continue layering, making sure that the last layer is the cream cheese mixture. Garnish with strawberries.
Raspberry Tart
This raspberry tart is both yummy and simple to make (with a little help from mom and dad)! To start, gather a cup of flour, a stick of butter, two tablespoons of confectioner’s sugar, four cups of fresh raspberries, and eight ounces of raspberry jam. Blend together the flour, butter and sugar, and chill for one hour. Then, pat the chilled crust into a tart pan, and bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool the crust, and then arrange the raspberries on top of it. Last, microwave your raspberry jam until it begin to boil, then pour the jam over the fruit. Cover and refrigerate for an hour, then enjoy!
Blackberry Cobbler
Blackberry cobbler is an cinch with this easy, delectable recipe! All you need is four cups of fresh blackberries, one tablespoon of lemon juice, one egg, one cup of sugar, one cup of flour, and six tablespoons of melted butter. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Next, place blackberries in a lightly greased square baking dish, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Stir together the egg, sugar, and flour, and sprinkle over fruit. Next, drizzle melted butter across the topping, and bake for 35 minutes, or until the cobbler is lightly browned and bubbly. Enjoy!

New Strawberry Shortcake Movie Review and Giveaway
Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Brick Road
and
Strawberry Shortcake: Bloomin' Berry Garden
Closed
Winner #18
Strawberry Shortcake always has a great time with her berry friends and these movies are no exception. In Berry Brick Road: Strawberry Shortcake and her friends journey over the rainbow in a berry enchanting retelling of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz! When a cyclone blows Strawberry to Oz, she runs afoul of a wicked witch and must journey to the Emerald City to ask the Wizard for help getting home. With her faithful dog, Pupcake, by her side Strawberry meets Gingersnap as a scarecrow, Peppermint Fizz as the tin woodsgirl and Orange Blossom as the cowardly lion.
After making a big impression down the berry brick road, the munchkin-like Berrykins call on Strawberry and her friends to save the Gem-berries who's glow lights the whole land of Oz. The Berrykins have been waisting what few Gem-berries are left, and the wicked witch is out to destroy them entirely. It's up to Strawberry and her pals to save the day.
This movie will not disappoint you. It is a great tribute to the original movie with it's Strawberry twist. Your young ones will love it and you will too! Strawberry as always finds a way to solve the problem by working with her friends. I love that the Strawberry Shortcake movies teach kids to work together to find a solution. My daughter's favorite part of the movie was the Berrykins, she thought they were cute! Berry Brick Road also includes some printable coloring pages which the kids will enjoy!
Ready for Bloomin' Berry Garden?... This is a great movie for the kids' Easter baskets. It will get everybody ready for Spring. Berry Bitty City is abuzz with activity! Flowers are blooming in all colors and sizes, the Berrykins are using their sparkles for the harverst, and everyones favorite sweetheart-Strawberry Shortcake-is baking a scrumptious batch of corn muffins. But when a magical mix-up makes the Berrykins grow tall and the girls shrink small, Strawberry and her friends discover that even when they're tiny, they can make a big difference. It's gardens, giggles and girl power galor in these berry exciting adventures!
This movie really does make you want Spring to be here. Strawberrry and the girls having adventures in the beautiful blooming weather! Let Spring time come! My daughter loved that these movies came with coloring pages and the bonus Sunshine Girls Music Video!
