Lysol Power & Free Multi-Purpose Cleaner with Hydrogen Peroxide

I received Lysol Power & Free from BzzAgent in exchange for a review along with coupons to share with family and friends.  All opinions are 100% my own.


My experience with both Lysol Power & Free Multi-Purpose Cleaners with Hydrogen Peroxide it cleans very well I use the products in my dogs' eating area.




Ok, I use the spray twice a week on Jupiter's food stand not his bowls to freshen up his area with a light citrus sparkle zest scent not overpowering at all and I use the wipes daily after his food intake he is a messy eater. I loved the wipes and it's cleaning capabilities, but I didn't like the oxygen splash scent to much.

It is safe for my Jupiter it has no harsh chemicals nor bleach it kills 99% of bacteria and it dries quickly. I didn't have to use gloves to protect my hands from using the product.

Jarritos & #LatinFoodFest13

Sponsor: Hispano Bloggers provided a video link to Around Our Way for review. See, Disclosure Policy


To be honest I've seen these Jarritos in the supermarkets but never thought of buying those type of sodas it looks too sweet to drink. Looks can be deceiving once I've checked out the video it kind of changed my mind on what they add to these little jugs here is the story of how Jarritos became so popular.


Jarritos @ Around Our Way

There motto "We're Jarritos and We're not from here" the most cherished soda in Mexico. Jarritos in English means little jars or jugs these fruity sodas were created by Francisco "El Guero" Hill in the 1950's.

He created Jarritos in his dining room table by adding all natural flavors such as fresh fruits and real sugar. There's no high-fructose corn syrup in these fruity sodas. All of Mexico loved it and his family including his wife, but she just wanted her dining table back.

Don Francisco added many exotic flavors mandarins, limes, grapefruits, tamarinds, pineapples, hibiscus, mangoes, quava and he worked closely with local growers to ensure the bests were use for Jarritos. By the 1960's it was shared in the United States. Since the creation of Jarritos until now the recipe has not change.

Reuse Leftover Candles

Nothing To Disclose: 

A few years ago, I started researching how to make candles and there was a whole stream of how to's, but the one that caught my eye was how to reuse your leftover candles. Honestly, I wish I had saved the link but I didn't I would of love to give credit to that person whom open up my eyes on not to throw out your used up candles.

For many years I've been reusing my leftover candles I even taught my mother. I gave her a set of 6 metal votive  and a pack of wax wick she tried it and she loved it. She said it was very easy to do so now every time she burns a candle and there's no more to burn she saves the leftovers.

Kohl's Glass Candle Holders
First, you will need an old pot, leftover candles, essential oils (optional), votive, cooking spray, and wax wicks. You can buy wax wick at any craft store it's available in various sizes the one I use was 2" long.
  
Leftover Candles
Add the pot on the stove and turn on heat to low to medium let it warm up, spray the pot, and add the leftover candles. You may have the metal part still connected to the leftover candle from the previous wick don't worry about it add the candle in the pot. Once the candle melts completely use a utensil or a toothpick to pick it out and throw it away. It may take up 10 to 20 minutes or longer depending on how much you candles you have leftover.

wick, candles
While your candle is melting in the pot have your votive or candles holders ready add your wax wick in the middle of the votive, and pour your melted candle in your votive. 

Melted Candle
If you wish you can add a few drops of essential oil in the candle to give it a nice scent such as lavender, eucalyptus, or peppermint which ever you like.


Reuse Candle
Wait about 20 to 30 minutes for it to fully dry and then it'll be ready to be lit enjoy your reuse new candle.

Would you try this method or would you buy an already made candle?
