What we thought:  Yummo!  Just in time for the hot Texas summer days, we got to take a field trip to our local Jamba Juice.  I tried the new Tropical Harvest smoothie and will definitely be going back for more!  It was so deliciously refreshing!  Good to the last drop:)  The kiddos had a Berry Beet It and an Aloha Pineapple.  They both really enjoyed their smoothies as well and asked if we could have Jamba Juice more often:)  I snuck a taste of the Berry Beet It smoothie and you really can't tell that there is so much veggie goodness in it which really surprised me.  I guess I should have known since I couldn't pick out a distinct veggie taste from my Tropical Harvest smoothie:)  If you are looking for a great tasting way to cool down and fuel up this summer, Jamba Juice is the place!  ABCD Diaries gives Jamba Juice an A+!

Sambazon Review...

We were provided with samples to facilitate this review. Thanks Sambazon and Moms Meet!

What we thought:  We recently had the chance to review Sambazon juices and smoothies.  These 10.5 oz juices are made with the finest organic Amazon Superfoods™ on the planet such as Açaí, Acerola , and Yerba Mate. Sambazon boasts ten different flavor varieties, and are packed with antioxidants and vitamins!  All Sambazon Superfood juices are NON-GMO, USDA organic, vegan, gluten-free, and provide whole food nutrition.

My only issue with this review is that when we finally found the juices, the store only had 2 flavors to choose from.  Not Sambazon's fault, our area is very slowly catching on to the health food movement:)  The kiddos really enjoyed the Acai with Blueberry and Pomegranate and B and I loved the Energy smoothie.  I really wanted to try the Protein version so I'll keep checking back at our local health food store:)  ABCD Diaries gives Sambazon smoothies and juices an A!

YouthPerfect Spa Pillow Case Review + Giveaway!


"Studies have shown that getting a good night’s sleep is essential to health and overall well-being. And, as people age, adequate sleep is also important to protecting the youthful look of skin. Designed by a medical doctor and a licensed cosmetologist, YouthPerfect’s patent-pending YouthPerfect® Spa Pillowcase now offers the ultimate in sleeping luxury, designed for superior rest while actually working to reduce sleep lines that can become wrinkles.
When sleeping on a regular pillowcase, facial skin can bunch to form creases – also known as sleep lines – overnight. As skin ages, it also becomes less resilient and these lines can start to create permanent wrinkles. With the YouthPerfect Spa Pillowcase, pressure points on skin are diminished for a restful, crease-free sleep. 
“According to the American Academy of Dermatology, resting your face on a regular pillow every night leads to wrinkles. To prevent this, many experts recommend sleeping on your back – not the most natural or comfortable position for many of us,” said Dr. Stan Batiste, M.D., president and CEO of YouthPerfect. “The YouthPerfect Spa Pillowcase Is an ultra-soft, luxurious pillowcase designed to promote restful sleep in any position. Its frictionless and high-quality engineered material blend protects the skin against forming creases that can lead to permanent wrinkling.”
Bonus: Scent Diffuser System Provides Unique Spa Quality Aromatherapy Experience
For an even better sleep experience, the YouthPerfect Spa Pillowcase includes aromatherapy scents in Lavender, Eucalyptus and Vanilla. The scent strips fit into the pillowcase’s inner sleeve for a tranquil, calming night’s rest. A gel-cooling mask to help eliminate morning puffiness is also included as an additional bonus."

What we thought:  This pillow case is so soft and comfy!  It really has made sleeping a lot more comfortable.  I love the scent strips and the aromatherapy oils, especially the eucalyptus.  I never knew what a difference an aroma could make when it comes to a good night's sleep.  I definitely look forward to laying my head down on that cool pillow at night and enjoying the refreshing smell:)  This set really does give your pillow the "spa" experience!  ABCD Diaries gives the YouthPerfect pillow case an A+!

Brillo Soap Pads and Sponges-A Summer Must-Have!

"Get your grill in prime time shape with our Brillo Steel Wool Soap Pads, Brillo Heavy Duty Soap Pads, or the Heavy Duty Scour Pad. Each of these trusty items can help cut through the built up grease and grime and make the job fast and easy so you can get back to grilling faster and perform your grilling duties like a champ in front of all your friends and family!

Leftover food particles on the cooking surface can make food stick and charred remains left over from last season can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Research has shown that cooking food over caked-on residue and gunk has the potential to make those who eat it sick. There is also the potential for dangerous flare ups if build ups of grease are ignored. In addition, cooking on an improperly cleaned grill can also have a negative impact on the flavor of the foods."

Grill Cleaning Tips:
1. Remove cooking grates from grill and scrub with warm water and a Brillo
Steel Wool Soap Pad or Heavy Duty Scour Pad.
2. For cooked-on, hard-to-clean surfaces turn Brillo sideways and scrub across
the grain of the pad
3. If it's a charcoal grill, remove the coal grate and brush out the insides
4. For gas grills remove briquettes, lava rocks or metal flame shield to expose
burner. Clean ash and residue from around burner, be sure burner is in place
when finished cleaning
5. Rinse grates, reassemble grill, and allow to air dry
6. For coated grill exteriors and more delicate surfaces use Brillo Estracell No
Scratch Scrub Sponge with Wedge Edge

What we thought:  We always have Brillo products on hand.  The soap pads are the best for scrubbing pots and pans.  They also make cleaning the grill a lot easier.  Grilling season lasts year round in our neck of the woods so we always make sure to keep a box of Brillo pads at the ready.  The Estracell sponges are great too!  The are gentle enough not to scratch our dishes and don't get yucky as quickly as regular sponges.  Plus, their unique design get into even the toughest corners of every dish.  Brillo products are a definite must have!  ABCD Diaries gives Brillo an A+!
