Nestle Splash











Usually during the summer our family enjoys
iced tea, lemonade, soda, sparkling water, water and infused water.

This year thanks to influenster I was able to try a new flavored water. I have tried other brands in the past and said yuck never buying them again, but this one from Nestle Splash is awesome, berrylicious to be exact.

Nestle Splash is something I can grab instead of Soda when on the go when I want something more then water but don't have any fruit infused water ready.

Delicious, looking forward to trying out other flavors. Now to get the stores to stock these in their colors so they are cold and ready for purchase.


Nestle Splash can be found at most grocery stores and of course Amazon.

Mixologist World


This little gem is going to be a godsend this summer. We love fresh lemonade but it takes so many lemons to do it.

With this at least I know there will be no waste. This gets out so much more of the juice then the old way I used to do it.

This is also my very first lemon squeezer of my very own. I have used others but found it easier to just do it by hand, but not anymore this squeezer makes it super quick and easy to get fresh lemon, and lime juice in seconds.

Just cut one in half, pop it in, then squeeze.  This also comes with a zester.  I just keep my zest in the freezer in ice cubes so that I can just thaw what I need for recipes throughout the year.

Check out my review of Mixologist World Cocktail Shaker here.


This lemon squeezer and zester can be found on Amazon.

Fruitfuzer



Many of my readers know that our family has been fruit infusing water for some time now. Our new love is infusing tea and lemonade. Yummy!

Ban the Bottle



Once in a while our home purchases water bottles but most of the time we take a reusable water bottle with us. It is better then drinking soda on the run although we do that from time to time as well.

I really like the fruit infuser water bottle because it gives me a choice of plain water or infused water with fruit and if you are really crafty and have a Soda Stream or other kind of soda maker you can fizz up your water before adding your fruit for a fizzy fruit flavored drink.

Our family loves to try new mixtures. One of my favorites are strawberry's and blueberries.  This bottle had a wide mouth to put in your ice, water, then infuser with fruit, with a little strainer so the fruit doesn't come up through the drinking spout. The drinking spout is one of the most important parts. I don't always have time to unscrew a cap to get a drink I need to just be able to flip, drink, close and go about my business. Life is busy being a mom and the easier it is for me to drink water the more water I drink.

You can find the GWB Fruit Infuser Water Bottle on Amazon.

Infused Water Bottles

Making infused water couldn't be easier. Yes making infused water in a picture is easier and makes a lot more but in an infuser bottle you can change up the flavor of your water each day. Our family loves both water and infused water. I lean more towards infused water just because I have never really enjoyed water all that much.

Love all of the water bottle out there to infuse water in, but some are just better then others. You don't have to pay alot for a good one but you do need to look for several things. First of all that your infuser hold the fruit you want to infuse in the infuser cartridge, and that you are comfortable actually using the bottle you are going to use.

This one has several pieces that are new to me, that make this a little different then other water bottles. Even though I like this one I personally like the kind that I don't have to open up all of the way to get a drink. I like them with a mouth piece which this does not have, but I do like that this one does not leak during use.

You can find this infuser water bottle on Amazon.

Water is the staff of life
The average adult human body is comprised of about 65% water. It regulates body temperature, protects body organs and tissues, lubricates joints, and flushes out waste products. However, the human body expels water through respiration, perspiration and waste elimination. If you do not replenish your body's water volume, all of the vital processes suffer. Nutrients and oxygen don't get carried to the cells. The liver can't filter out impurities, which then weakens the immune system. And weight begins to pile up on you. 
Fruit infusion makes water interesting again
Many people don't drink water because it doesn't tantalize the taste buds. Trim Evolution Water Infusion Bottle puts "zing" into your drinking water. By adding great-tasting fruits, vegetable and herbs to water, you treat your body to the hydration that it needs and get a healthy, delicious beverage at the same time. 
Infused water does more than just taste good
Many fruits, vegetables and herbs have natural diuretic, cleansing attributes. In addition to keeping your body hydrated, these types of infusion recipes will stimulate your body to flush harmful toxins from your body. Your body begins working more efficiently, weight loss accelerates, and you begin to feel good all over. 
Trim Evolution Water Infusion Bottle is the most reliable accessory for making delicious infused-water recipes
Made of shatter-resistant, leak-proof Tritan plastic, Trim Evolution withstands everything that life throws at the two of you, and still delivers healthy water-based refreshment at a moment's notice. Your special blend of fruit-infused water will be delicious and invigorating from start to finish.

Fruit and Tea Tumbler


A new idea for our family. We have been infusing water with fruit, but we hadn't tried to infusing tea with fruit. Oh my it is so good and just as easy as it is when you do water.

Love the glass bottle, kind of like drinking out of a tall mason jar. We were looking for a change from infused water and we have found it. We have even started infusing different fruit with lemonade. Yummy.

The metal mesh keeps the fruit or tea if you are using fresh tea leaves from going into your mouth while drinking the tea. What I love most is that I can still use herbal tea bags, or even decaffeinated tea so I can enjoy a nice cool drink.

You can purchase the Ephistica Infusion Bottle on Amazon.

Sophisticated glass and bamboo glass tumbler for Tea and Fruit infusions , Double glass wall for insolation - efficient and ecofriendly! Keeps warm drinks for up to two hours.

Spiralizing your fruits and vegetables



Spiralizing your fruits and vegetables seems to be the new rage. Certainly nice for those of us who may have picker eaters in the family.

Make a food fun and most kids will gobble it up, even if they won't eat it any other way. We don't personally have that problem but we do like to have variety in our diets and trying new ways of eating fruits and vegetable is always fun.

We like to include our children in gardening, baking, cooking, and shopping for our meals. They learn about their food while being able to actually take part in the preparation of their meals.

Our children like to pick out something new at the store so our whole family can try it. With the Elacra Spiral Food slicer you get to have a little fun with the foods you already know you like while trying new ways to eat them at the same time. The kids love it.

The products are sharp so an adult should always be present and doing most of the work but the kids can try some of the spirals that have already been cut.

Easy to use and clean. This has to be one of the best kits for preparing vegetables and fruits I have seen. So many pieces for one low price. Hard to beat.

 You can purchase the Elacra Spiral Slicer on Amazon.
