Woolzies Dryer Balls ~ Review
We had the chance to try the Woolzies Dryer Balls & can't wait to share with you our thoughts on them. A box of 6 handmade Woolzies will cost $34.95 USD plus a shipping fee of $6.95 world wide. They are chemical free which is great because some people (my Mom for example) is allergic to the dryer sheets.The box states that they were made of made with 100% pure wool (but are 100% percent safe for people with wool sensitivities) & just thinking about that made me start itching. It claims to reduce drying time by up to 25% in large loads & more in smaller loads. To reduce Static, eliminate wrinkles, soften naturally, noise free & guaranteed to last for 1000 loads.
Let's address each statement one at a time. To get a fair comparative review, I washed & dried one load of laundry twice. That way I knew it was the same size, materials ect. I dried it once with the Woolzies & once with my regular dryer sheets.
100% Pure wool (will it make me itchy) Well to start with, surprisingly I did not get itchy with them. I am able to wear my clothes & use my blanket & I have no reaction like I do other wool products. So I say that claim is true for me at least!
Reduce Drying time by up to 25% for large loads I honestly noticed no difference in drying times. I was hoping that I would see a difference, but other than a few minutes...no.
Reduces Static again, I was wishing for this to be true, but unfortunately it wasn't. My clothes & blankets had even more static than when I use my dryer sheets.
Eliminate Wrinkles I did not find any wrinkles, so this I am happy to say is accurate.
Softens naturally I confirm that my clothes were nice & soft.
Noise Free this really surprised me. I did expect them to make noise in the dryer...I mean think about it. You have 6 balls in there tumbling around. I know when my dogs sneak their toys in the laundry & they wind up in the dryer (yes...my dogs do this regularly...now if they would only learn to wash & dry & fold on their own) , they make noise. However there was no added noise what so ever! That was a pleasant surprise.
Lasts for 1000 loads I can't comment on that claim yet thankfully, but I can say after just 4 loads it looks like my balls have little hairs sticking out all over them. I'm not sure if it's the balls themselves or something else. If they DO last for 1000 loads, that basically works out to $0.03 PER load you dry. That's a lot cheaper than the dryer sheets.

Water Bobble ~ Review
We were given the opportunity to review Water Bobble Canada's Water bottles.
They claim "Filtration reinvented, faster. smarter. sleeker. sustainable. saves money" in the brochure they sent us & we eagerly anticipated the chance to test them out & share our findings with you.
1 filter is claimed to equal 300 water bottles. They suggest you replace the filter after 2 months or 40 gallons/150 litres of water. The filters come in different colors while the bottle itself is a clear plastic. The filters remove chlorine & organic contaminants from municipal tap or potable water only.
I gave my teen-aged daughter one of the bottles to take with her for school/co-op every day. Now it has to be noted that my daughter usually refuses to drink water unless it is flavoured as she detests the taste of city water. She does not even really like the bottled water as she finds it has an unpleasant taste to it as well.
She came to me the first day & complained that even though we activated the filter by filling the bottle with water & then squeezing it gently until it was empty (actually we did this twice) there was still some carbon residue floating in the water. She also did not like the noise it makes when you drink & air is pulled back into the bottle. Other than that, she was thrilled with the clean taste she got when she drank water from the bottle. She found herself drinking more water than she would have even using regular bottled water.
At first I was nervous to squeeze the plastic as I was afraid to break it, but as I got used to it, I realized it actually is quite sturdy. I'm not saying they they are indestructible, but they are not as fragile as I first imagined them to be. The bottles are BPA free & are also recyclable when it is time to replace them.
They come with a clear cap to keep the nozzle clean & while that is great especially if you put the bottle in bags, I am afraid I will lose it. The bottles we were given to review can not be put in the dishwasher or freezer, much to my daughter's disappointment. However they do have bottles that you can.
My own review of them is quite simple. I love it! It gives me the opportunity to drink water that doesn't taste like chlorine. It is cheaper than buying bottled water & is better for the environment. I have to agree with my daughter that it does taste better than bottled water as well. I like that all I have to do is fill the bottle & drink. No waiting for it to be filtered in order to drink. The bottle fits inside the cup holder in my car with no problem which is great too. The fact that the filters are the colorful part of the bottle is nice too. It does have a sleek design which makes it fit comfortably in your hand. They also have a large variety of different sizes.
They have a huge assortment of products on their website & they are available they have generously agreed to sponsor a prize for one of our fans, so keep watching our page for the chance to win your own Water Bobble!

Review of Mountain Dew Sample Pack
Not too long ago we were lucky enough to win a sample pack from Mountain Dew Canada. In each box, there are 4 new flavours & eventually these flavours will be released in Canada, but only ONE will get to stay. Canadians will get to vote which flavour they like the best.
Since there was one of each can & 3 of us in the house, my daughter thought it would be fun to do sort of a taste test. Each of us got 1/3 of a can to taste & then we expressed our thoughts on it. Here were the results. **Please remember that these are our honest opinions & you may have different ones.**
The first can we tried was named CODE RED
Code Red was just nasty tasting. All three of us likened it to a cross between Buckley's Cough Syrup & a Sports Drink. We give it 3 thumbs down. Yuck!
Next we tried WHITE OUT
White Out had a lemon/lime taste. Not unpleasant, but not unique either - tasted very similar to a competitors product. I found it the best tasting of the 4. Neither my husband or daughter really liked it, they each liked a different flavour more.
The 3rd can was named SUPER NOVA.
Super Nova we all agreed tasted like grape flavoured medicine. Not as nasty as the Code Red, but not pleasant. My husband liked it, my daughter & I did not.
The last can was called VOLTAGE.
Voltage as my daughter quickly pointed out tasted like a blue bubble gum flavoured pop. It didn't taste like medicine, but it was not that great of a taste. My daughter liked it. Husband & I did not.
We were glad to be able to take part of this sample pack offer. We look forward to being able to express our individual opinions. As of right now, the only firm "NO" from all 3 of us was the Code Red (That stuff really is very nasty...even now a few days later I still cringe with the memory of how it tasted) the other flavours at least had one person who liked it.
When they hit the shelves (or if you were lucky enough to win a sample pack) we would love to know what you think of each new flavour.
