If I Should Die Before My Dog Book Review

Sponsor: Channel Islands Book Tours provided If I Should Die Before My Dog book to Around Our Way for review.

I have never thought of what if something happens to me who’s going to care for Jupiter or if I'm unable to physically care for him. Some dogs are lucky and have a home to go to; others are not so fortunate and they end up in animal shelters or in unwanted homes. I know for sure I don't want Jupiter in neither of those places I want him in a place where I know he'll be looked after and in a home where he'll be understood making his transition easy and comfortable.

When I was reading If I Should Die Before My Dog book I got stuck at the page where you need to fill out “Where Will I Go Now” this is the part where I fill out the name of the person who is going to care for him. Honestly, I had no clue who would end up with Jupiter so I skipped that page and continue reading the book.

When I finish reading the book I can happily say I'm very grateful to have this book in my possession here's why...

If I Should Die Before My Dog is a great guide it prepares the new owner how to care for your dog. You can fill out his personal info, such as his name, where he came from, and his medical history along with his good or bad habits, and other vital information which will help your dog and the new owner in his new home. 

I will definitely recommend If I Should Die Before My Dog book it should be in each dogs home and  stored in a well hidden place or put it in with your important documents think of it as a Will.

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?

ColgateTotal Mouthwash

I received a complimentary #Colgate Total Advanced Pro-Shield #Mouthwash bottle for review from Influenster.

I always have a bottle of mouthwash on hand being that I'm a coffee drinker. After I have my few cups of coffee I use a mouthwash to get rid of well you guys know the coffee breath so I swish and swish.

My honest opinion of #Colgate Mouthwash at first it was a little strong for it to be alcohol free, but I guess it was the peppermint flavor. After a few days I was very happy with the results I love the peppermint blast flavor and as far as the 12 hour protection it worked for long time I went through the whole day even after dinner and my mouth was feeling clean.

I'm still halfway from finishing the bottle you will feel a difference once you start using the Advance Pro Shield. I recommend #Colgate Total Advanced Pro Shield Mouthwash.

What mouthwash do you use?

"I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes."
