Today’s roundup includes several products that you need in summer. Bubbles for the kids, anti-itch cream, bug repellant, and a snack or two. I received samples of these products to try.
Mary’s Gone Crackers
If you eat gluten free by choice or for medical reasons, you will be interested in the new Everything Pretzels from Mary’s Gone Crackers. These pretzels are crunchy and have a savory flavor due to all the things in them. They are full of exotic whole grains including brown rice, quinoa, amaranth and millet, as well as tasty and nutritious seeds including flax, sesame and chia.
Flavored with things such as onion, garlic, sea salt and herbs, the Everything Pretzels are organic, gluten free, non-GMO, soy free, vegan and provide omega-3s, fiber and protein. Wow! What a snack! Mary’s Gone Crackers Everything Pretzels retail for $4.99 for a 7.5 oz bag. Available on Mary’s Gone Crackers or in a food store near you.
Noosa Yoghurt
Noosa Finest Yoghurt is introducing two new flavors just right for summer: Noosa Coconut and Noosa Pineapple. I’ve tried both of them, and love them! I like that the coconut flavor has real shredded coconut in it. Add some fresh fruit and you have the perfect summer lunch.
Noosa Finest Yoghurt is made daily in small batches on-site at Morning Fresh Dairy Farm in Colorado, and is free of artificial ingredients of any kind. Noosa Yoghurts are also gluten-free and made from the milk of happy cows from local Colorado farms that are never treated with rBGH growth hormone.
Noosa leads the way as one of the fastest-growing yoghurt companies in the nation with 13 varieties and a 136 percent sales increase in grocery sales in 2013. Flavors include Honey, Blueberry, Mango, Raspberry, Strawberry Rhubarb, Peach, Passion Fruit, Lemon, Tart Cherry, Plain, Pineapple, Coconut, and Pumpkin, so you should be able to find your favorite.
Juggle Bubble
The Juggle Bubble kit features a no-pop solution that lets your child bounce, toss and juggle bubbles without having the bubbles pop! Juggle Bubble kits includes a bubble blower, bubble tray, unique bubble solution and pair of magic gloves to juggle, toss, and play with the bubbles they create. It is so simple to use! Just dip the wide end of the bubble blower into the special solution, then blow into the blower to create the bubble. Then, toss the bubble around or let it bounce off of your hands with the Juggle Bubbles magic gloves. The bubble solution will provide hours of entertainment for your children, inside or out.
Juggle Bubbles can be purchased for $10.00 plus shipping and handling and are available at www.jugglebubbles.com.
Mosquitno
Tired of having to spray yourself with mosquito repellant or go indoors just to escape their pesky buzzing and biting? Get some of these cute Mosquitno Bandz and Spotz and never worry about being bit by one of those West Nile Virus carrying bugs again!. These Citronella infused wristbands, called Bandz, come in a variety of colors and sizes for kids and adults. Each one repels mosquitoes for up to 150 hours! That’s time enough for a bunch of smores! They can be purchased individually for $3.99 or in a 5 pack for $17.99.
Mosquitno also comes in Spotz, which are reusable stickers that give up to 72 hours of mosquito protection. They come in a wide variety of colors and printed graphics, and start at $3.99 for a sheet of six. Shop now at Mosquitno.
TriCalm
Been out there picking blackberries or blueberries and got a chigger bite? Or worse, got into a poison oak patch? TriCalm Steroid Free Hydrogel will help soothe that itching quickly. TriCalm’s is unique in that it uses aluminum acetate, a water-soluble salt compound often used in medicine as an astringent or antiseptic, as its active ingredient. My grandson was bitten by some unknown bug one night while he was visiting me, and just one application of Tricalm eased the itching for him.
Tricalm Steroid Free Hydrogel’s unique formula reduces the sensitivity of specific nerves responsible for sending signals of itching, burning or stinging to the brain. The people at Tricalm are so sure that it will stop your itching that they have issued a Itch-Free Guarantee: If TriCalm doesn’t relieve your itch, send us the empty tube and we’ll give you a full refund. It’s as simple as that. You can not beat that! To make a purchase, find a store near you or buy at Amazon.com
 Rescue TrapStik
Summer time means playing outside, and kids going in and out the door. Eventually, probably soon than later, they will let in some flies, or find a wasp nest somewhere around the house. You can trap those pesky insects without having to chase them down with a flyswatter with TrapStik from Rescue.
The TrapStik For Flies uses new VisiLureTM technology to lure flies with appealing colors and a multi-dimensional pattern. Flies are attracted by the colors and patterns on the TrapStik®, then get stuck to the adhesive surface. It catches common house flies, cluster flies and fruit flies. Once it is full, or the flies are all trapped, just throw it away. I love these because they get rid of the bugs with no poison and no smell.
Find a retailer where you can purchase TrapStiks. They have many different varieties designed to catch various bugs like wasps, yellow jackets, stink bugs, japanese beetles, and more. Suggested retail price is about $5.00.
