Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Recently, I was selected to review this new kind of throat drop. They are made by Pine Bros. The company has been around a long time but was recently acquired by Victoria Knight-McDowell (creator and former owner of Airbourne). Here is how the company tells their story:

" Ulysses S. Grant was President, the population of America hovered at 39 million, and the telephone was still a pipe dream, when in 1870 J. Herman Pine hung out a confectionery shingle on 8th Street above Walnut in Philadelphia and, along with his brother, sold their first batch of what they called 'Pine Brothers Glycerine Tablets.' In an attempt to relieve his own sore throat and those of his family members, Mr. Pine, a former German confectionery maker, determined that by combining the soothing natural qualities of glycerin with the healing properties of gum acacia, he could sooth and mitigate the mild discomfort of a sore throat. Add in some natural flavoring and a sweetener and voila, Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops were born. "I have discovered something," Pine wrote, "which will give quick throat relief to thousands afflicted as I was." He added,"Perhaps I won't make much money out of this. But I can make people happy, and that's more important than money." Mr. Pine was being unduly modest, as his "discovery" would become one of the most successful, most delicious and most unique throat lozenges in the world. Nor has the recipe changed appreciably since it was first introduced to the public over 140 years ago.

In 1930 Pine Brothers was sold to the Life Savers Company and continued to flourish. Known for its 'soft drop consistency,' Pine Brothers lozenges became a favorite of adults and children alike. The product, which attracted healthiest sales in the eastern and northern states, due to its icy winters, reached its peak popularity in the 1970's. The company was sold by Life Savers, and then, having been re-sold and acquired a number of times, found itself essentially rudderless and under appreciated; this despite a legion of loyal consumers. Cost cutting changes were made to the original recipes, packaging became stale and marketing non-existent; Pine Brothers began to be made overseas. Sales declined.

Recently, Pine Brothers was acquired by the creator and former owner of Airborne, Victoria Knight-McDowell, for her new company 3 Sisters Home Products™. Much time and effort has been spent locating the original Pine Brothers recipes, redesigning the packaging, and creating an exciting yet classic new look. The natural product is once again being made in America, and is launching nationally in fall 2011. At which time old Mr. Pine, will succeed once again in "making people happy." God bless him! "

Pictured above are two out of the three flavors that company currently has available. Those three flavors are Natural Honey, Wild Cherry, and Black Licorice. However, on their website, they state that there is a new flavor, Lemon Citrus, coming in 2015-2016. 

These drops are Gluten Free and ONLY 5 calories per drop! They are softish as the package states. For comparison, I would say they are kind of similar to a stale gummy bear, hardness wise. However, I mean that in the best way! I love the texture of these.

Now to get to the review itself.I did try both flavors that were sent to me and so did my husband, my 7 year old daughter and my 5 year old son. With that being said here are the reviews by person:

ME:

NATURAL HONEY: I though that this one was pretty bland and didn't have much flavor. I didn't care for this one too much and would not choose to purchase this one on my own. Now, in saying that I should also let my readers know....I did not think it was disgusting nor did I spit it out. I just like LOTS of flavor and would rather have something more flavorful. 

WILD CHERRY: This one I thought was pretty darn good! I really liked it and this one I would choose to buy if I was in a store in need of throat drops. 

MY HUSBAND:

NATURAL HONEY: He thought that they made his mouth dry and they had no flavor. He chose not to have anymore of this kind.

WILD CHERRY: He liked these. He even took one "puck" of them to work because he had been having a dry, scratchy throat. He, now, keeps that "puck" of them in his Jeep center console for when he needs them. 

MY KIDS:

NATURAL HONEY: Neither of the kids liked this one. My daughter said it was "SO GROSS!" and she asked me how I could eat them. (LOL) My son said "these are not as yummy as the red ones!" 

WILD CHERRY: Both of my kids liked this one and my daughter said it helped her scratchy, sore throat. My daughter actually asked for them a few times for her throat. She said they are "totally better than cough drops"! 

With this being said, I am excited for the new Lemon Citrus flavor to come out so I can give them a try too! No one in our house likes Black Licorice so I don't think we will be trying that one anytime soon. However, I suggest that my fans give them a try and let me know in the comments what you think....do you like them, dislike them, how about the texture, and do they help your throat? 

Find Pine Bros. at CVS, Rite Aid, Safeway, Kroger, or check at your local drugstore or supermarket. You can also purchase online....here!

Wexy Snack Bags Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

As my readers know I have two young children! My son, who is now 5 years old (where has the time gone), LOVES monsters. He continually pretends to be a monster and is always trying to scare his sister (who is now 7)! With that being said, you can not imagine how excited I was when I was chosen to review the Wexy Snack Bags...they have monsters on the front of every bag!

These bags are very neat! These Wexy Snack Bags are 5" X 6" white bags with monsters on the front. They have a "Ziploc" closure along the top!

The Monsters on the bags are very cute and friendly looking! They are NOT scary at all! There are 4 different monsters in the box on the bags. My son asks to use them for EVERYTHING! Even his sliced banana this morning...lol! 

The funniest part is that I sent my husband to the field (he is in the ARMY and often goes "to the field" for training over night or for multiple nights at a time) with a Wexy snack bag filled with trail mix that I had made. He came home to tell me about the other guys out there asking him where he got trail mix in such "sweet" bags. Even his adult, male soldiers enjoyed such fun bags! 

Here is a little something that the manufacturer has put together:

"Inspired by kids and created by moms, WEXY snack bags are the perfect way to change the very image of "healthy" food for your kids. Motivated by their desire to restore natural childhood fun to snack time, Carie and Tracey created WEXY monsters with their own children driving their vision. They want to help our earth, too. That's why WEXY snack bags are as good to the globe (eco-friendly) as they are to your child's body. With their commitment to organic foods and practices, Tracey and Carie believe that sustaining our health means sustaining the earth as well. WEXY bags are biodegradable, BPA Free, disposable, recyclable, and reusable."

If you would like to purchase some Wexy Snack Bags for yourself you may do so on Amazon:

1 box is just $4.50

OR...

3 boxes for just $12.99

Please feel free to share with me in the comments what you think of the bags!

Pure Body Naturals Vitamin C Serum Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Today I am reviewing an anti-aging serum made by Pure Body Naturals. This serum is sold exclusively on Amazon. You can find it here! I was lucky enough to be chosen to receive this product for review on my blog. I am very excited to share this product with everyone!

I ordered this product on Amazon.com and the shipping time was unbelievably fast! I received the product 2 days after I placed my order. I got the product and opened the box to be pleasantly surprised that they shipped the product in two different ziploc baggies. The dropper was in one bag and the bottle with the Vitamin C Serum was in another bag! I like that it was shipped like this because I knew the bottle was fresh and not the dropper was new and clean.

I started using the product about a week ago and I really like it. A small amount goes a long way, so the bottle will last me a while. At least a month, I am sure. I also really enjoy how my face feels after using it. It does NOT leave my face feeling greasy or slimy. I put it on every night before I go to bed and when I wake up my skin feels super soft and looks fresh. 

I am so surprised by this product! I have not ever used Vitamin C before but I did hear about Dr. Oz mentioning that when choosing an anti-aging product, you should make sure that it has at least 20% vitamin C in it! Well this product does! 

Here is a little something that the company had to say about their product:

"See The Anti Aging Power Of Vitamin C + E + Hyaluronic Acid & Instantly Gain Brighter More Radiant Beautiful Skin Upon Application with our Professional Anti-Aging Serum.

Our Facial Serum Contains Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Suspended in a Concentrated base of Pure Vegan Hyaluronic Acid For Superior Anti Aging Effects.

Skinny Jane Fiber Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

For this review, I was given a week supply of the Skinny Jane Fiber! As part of my 7-day challenge, I was given 4 flavors of the shake mix (which comes in Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Banana), The SkinnyBurn capsules, the SkinnyCleanse capsules, and a diet plan.

With that being said, I did NOT follow the diet plan. I was having a very busy and unusual week and was unable to follow the diet plan. Even though I didn't follow the diet plan I DID lose 4 pounds in the week I used the Skinny Jane product! I was shocked!!! I couldn't believe that even though I didn't use the diet plan, I STILL lost 4 pounds in a week!!! I can just imagine if I would have followed the diet plan!!!

Now, I do want to talk about the shake mixes.... I was very surprised at how good they actually tasted. My favorite was the chocolate shake mix! I did NOT try the banana shake mix because I can NOT stand bananas. However, my husband did try it and, being as picky as he is, he even liked it!!! I would definitely recommend this to anyone trying to lose weight and get healthy! I enjoyed the flavors and it was easy!

Hey 4 pounds in a week without changing my diet or exercise routine!!! Who can beat that?

Book Review: Lost Civilizations

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I was lucky to be one of the few people chosen to receive this product for free to review! I am interested in history and I always love reading about ancient mysteries. The book I was sent is called:

LOST CIVILIZATIONS: 10 Societies that Vanished Without a Trace
By: Michael Rank

As I began reading this book I was unsure if I was going to like it or not. However, I was pleasantly surprised by it! It was a very quick and easy read. Now, don't confuse "quick and easy read". This book was full of information and facts. I like how the author goes over 10 very different societies....some of them not even proven to EVER exist. I really enjoyed reading this one and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading about history and lost civilizations.

He is a quick description of the book off of the back cover:

"From the #1 bestselling author of History's Greatest Generals comes an exciting new book on the greatest societies in history that vanished without a trace, and why their disappearance still haunts us today. 

Whether it is Plato's lost city of Atlantis, a technological advanced utopia that sank into the ocean "in a single day and night of misfortune"; the colony of Roanoke, whose early American settlers were swallowed up in the wild forest lands of the unexplored continent, or the Ancient American Explorers, who managed to arrive to the New World 2,000 years before Columbus, the disappearance of these societies is as cryptic as it is implausible. 

This book will look at cultures of the 10 greatest lost civilizations in history. Some were millenia ahead their neighbors, such as the Indus Valley Civilization, which had better city planning in 3,000 B.C. than any European capital in the 18th century. Others left behind baffling mysteries, such as the Ancient Pueblo Peoples (formerly known as the Anasazi), whose cliff-dwelling houses were so inaccessible that every member of society would have to be an expert-level rock climber. 

It will also at explanations as to how massive societies that lasted for centuries can disappear without a trace. Did the builders of the pyramids handy craftsmen whose method of transporting massive stones are still unexplainable simply disappear or were they part of an advanced alien race, as conspiracy theorists assert? Was the Kingdom of Aksum really the keeper of the Ark of the Covenant, and did this lead to their downfall? 

Whatever the nature of their disappearance, these lost civilizations offer many lessons for us today -- even the greatest of societies can disappear, and that includes us."

You can order the book in paper back hard copy print or as a Kindle book...here! 

If you decide to purchase the book and read it over....let me know in the comments what you think of it! :)
