Banish Earache Pain with ClearPop Rapid Earache Relief!

**I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com), May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my honest opinion on my blog. The opinions posted are my own.**

Whether you are a kid or an adult, earaches are, quite literally, a pain.  However thanks to MomsMeet and ClearPop, we were recently introduced to a unique way to ease the pain caused by earaches:

About ClearPop:

When an earache strikes, parents can turn to ClearPop Rapid Earache Relief. Unlike other solutions that attempt to mask the pain of an earache, ClearPop Rapid Earache Relief targets the source of the pain. In as little as 20 minutes, kids can find relief from the pain and pressure of an earache thanks to ClearPop’s unique biomechanical design and proprietary blend of ingredients

Features:

• ClearPop Rapid Earache Relief uses a biomechanically designed shape similar to a lollipop to help the body clear fluid from the ear through the mouth, without medication.

• The pop conforms the oral cavity and is designed to maximize the negative pressure generated by the natural motion of the jaw as the child sucks on the pop. This negative pressure helps to drain the blockage into the mouth, leading to fast relief of the pain and pressure felt by the child.

• In a Clinical Study ClearPop Rapid Earache Relief reduced the pain of the earache in 9 of 10 cases and eliminated it in 7 of 10 cases.

• Formulated with all-natural Xylitol, shown to reduce occurrence of Acute Ottis Media (AOM) by 25%

• ClearPop Rapid Earache Relief ingredients: isomalt, citric acid, ascorbic acid, Xylitol, water, and lemon oil. ClearPop Rapid Earache Relief does not contain any antibiotics or analgesics.

• Lemon flavor tastes great and encourages saliva production which helps drain the Eustachian tube.

• Safety Handle: ClearPop Rapid Earache Relief designers sought to eliminate possible choking risks by placing a hole in the plastic base where the consumable portion of the pop joins. This causes the head to stay connected to the stick until it is almost completely dissolved. The spoon-shaped base of the stick cannot be swallowed and the stick itself is shatterproof and flexible.

• ClearPop Rapid Earache Relief is safe to use with any other medication, including analgesics.

• Retail Cost: $11.99 for the 2-Pack.

What an interesting idea!  These pops are super appealing to kiddos and add a bit of distraction while waiting for the relief to kick in.  We typically get a few earaches each summer thanks to swimming and water sports, and I sure will be glad to have Clear Pops on hand as soon as one of us starts feeling the first ache!

Where to purchase:

ClearPop Rapid Earache Relief is available at Amazon.com and in 1100

stores nationwide. To find ClearPop Rapid Earache Relief in your area click here for the full list of locations

Keep Cool with Fun Products from Zoku and Koji!

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

Just in time for the warmer weather, we recently got the chance to cool down thanks to Zoku and Koji and a couple of their new silicone products!

The Cool Moji Ice Cube Mold lets you personalize your cold drinks to match your mood.

Add ten extraordinary, lively emoticon ice to your next party’s punch bowl with Zoku’s Cool Moji Ice Tray or use for everyday ice. It’s sure to bring on a laugh! While filling and transporting the ice molds, the tray will keep it steady and prevent spills. 

Once frozen, remove the ice mold from the tray to easily invert the silicone, releasing the expressive faces—no rinsing required!  At $9.99, this fun tray is a great value.

The Koji Jewel Pop Molds were a quick favorite:  

The kiddos wanted to use it immediately and the closest thing to juice we had was a couple of sports drinks.  They could hardly wait for them to freeze, they were so excited!  They were not disappointed and said the results were worth the wait.  

We have since made them with actual fruit juice and I must admit they took me back to my Ring Pop days.  Definitely a good buy at just $14.99...this will keep the kiddos entertained and hydrated all summer long!

Both of these fun products were a huge hit with my kiddos and a great way to usher in the Spring season!

About the food:

Tylee's Beef Recipe Human-Grade Dog Food gives you all the benefits of a homemade meal for your pup, without any of the prep time. Tylee’s is made with human-grade ingredients just like you’d find at the grocery store—real, whole foods you can see and identify. Real meat is cooked and combined with nutritious fruits and vegetables then frozen to keep in all the flavor and nutrients. To prepare this nutritiously delicious food, simply defrost it and serve it. Each recipe is grain-free and has only one source of protein, so it’s perfect for pets with sensitive tummies or allergies. In Tylee’s Beef Recipe you will find real USDA-grade beef plus sweet potatoes, mango, broccoli, spinach and zucchini that are full of fiber, antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals to help keep your pal in top shape. Ingredients like flaxseed and sunflower oil offer alternative sources of omega-3 and 6 for a healthy coat.

Tylee’s is made in the USA with ingredients from around the world and is available exclusively at Chewy.com.

First impressions:

I love that you can see actually chunks of meat, fruit and veggies and I have a sneaking suspicion that Jessie is going to devour this food!  You can use it as a topper for dry dog food or as your pup's main food...just allow to defrost and serve.

Crazy Cups March Flavor: Chocolate Covered Almonds

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

As an ambassador for Crazy Cups, I get to review a different flavor of single serve coffee cups each month.  The flavor for March was Chocolate Covered Almonds:

Crazy Cups are single serve cups that contain 13 grams of coffee in each cup for a flavorful cup of coffee.  They are compatible with all Keurig K Cups® Pods brewers and other single serve machines as well.   We use an iCoffee brewer and they fit perfectly.  Crazy Cups  coffees are gluten-free, nut-free, and contain no calories.  The cups use cool-peel-recycle technology, making them recyclable after use.  We peel ours back once they're cool, toss the grounds into our compost bin and recycle the cups, easy peasy and eco-friendly.

Flavor description:

Enjoy the taste of nutty almonds dipped in creamy milk chocolate. No, you don’t have to share it with your friends.

Our thoughts:

This is certainly a dessert coffee.  Whether you are a chocolate lover or a fan of almond flavor, or both, this coffee is sure to please!

Brighten Up Your Storage Spaces with Duck Brand Shelf Liner!

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We have always been big fans of Duck Tape, but did you know the makers of this miracle product, Duck® Brand, also have a great line up of shelf liner?  We got to try out two different kinds to help give new life to some not so pretty spaces this Spring!

The Non-Adhesive Easy-Liner® is great for covering the bottom of drawers!

See our plain old boring utensil drawer before:

And after:

And once I added the utensils:

And (who are we kidding, I’m a kitchen tool hoarder!) once I added the rest of the utensils:

BTW, this is only one of 5 drawers we have to store my cooking/baking utensils, yes, insanity I know…but it’s so hard to quit!

This shelf liner is gorgeous and the raised pattern helps to keep everything in place.  For example, now when I open the silverware drawer, my bamboo flatware holder doesn’t go flying to the back of the drawer :) Best of all, it's easy to clean and a super affordable way to spruce up your space!

I’m still looking for inspiration for the Peel & Stick Easy Liner® adhesive laminate.  I love the barn wood design, I’m just not sure where I want to put it just yet.  Luckily, Duck Brands has tons of inspiration on their website!  Click here to find out 101 Uses for Shelf Liner!  

This liner is awesome because it has a pre-printed backing so decorating is a breeze - just measure, cut and apply.  It's also allows for easy clean up and with so many designs to choose from you are certain to find something you like!

If you are looking to freshen up your drawers and shelves this Spring, Duck Brand has got the products you need to make the project easy, fun and affordable!

You can find Duck Brand products at mass merchandisers nationwide!
