TropiClean Fresh Breath Review & Giveaway

by Nicole on August 31, 2010

Name of Product: TropiClean Fresh Breath products for dogs

Price of Product: $5.99-$14.99

Where can the product be purchased: PetCo and other fine pet retailers. TropiClean’s products are available in thousands of retail outlets throughout the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom, Japan, Israel and the Netherlands. For more information, please visit www.tropiclean.net.

Description of Product: “- Apply a dab of CLEAN TEETH GEL directly to the pet’s teeth to remove built-up plaque and tartar within 30 days, without brushing. It features a “touch-free” applicator tip so no finger or toothbrush is required. Add a teaspoon of WATER ADDITIVE to the pet’s water bowl to maintain optimal oral health while eliminating bad breath for up to 12 hours. Between meals, the chewy texture of fresh breath made easy! DENTAL TREATS help clean teeth down to the gums. When company’s coming, a quick spritz of fresh breath made easy! FRESH MINT FOAM instantly kills the germs that cause bad pet breath.

Review of Product: I love my dogs, Chester and Cleo, so much but their breath? That I don’t love so much.  Brushing their teeth is difficult so I was so happy to review the TropiClean line for fresh breath! The water additive is obviously the easiest but I didn’t feel like it took care of their breath as well as the gel and the foam.  The water additive did make the breath better but it wasn’t gone! The gel and foam are both easy to use with the foam being the easiest since there is no rubbing in, just spraying.  My dogs breath was instantly better – yippee and bring on the kisses!

Giveaway: The folks at TropiClean have graciously decided to give one (1) lucky Nicole’s Nickels reader their own set of TropiClean Fresh Breath products including 1 fresh breath made easy line sample including: 1 Clean Teeth Gel, 1 Water Additive, 1 bag of Dental Treats, 1 Fresh Mint Foam.

Good Earth Tea Review & Giveaway

by Nicole on August 30, 2010

Name of Product: Good Earth Tea

Price of Product: $4.79

Where can the product be purchased: online from Good Earth and other websites and retailers nationwide

Description of Product: “Good Earth® is dedicated to brewing goodness into each and every cup of our delicious teas, ensuring a purity and authenticity in a wide variety of blends.

We use top quality ingredients in unique combinations to give you richer, more flavorful teas to savor every day. Good Earth®. Richer tasting teas.”

Review of Product: I tried several varieties of Good Earth Tea, the decaf chai, the citrus green ginseng and the lemongrass green.  I liked the lemongrass green the best, it was an exotic taste and I really loved the smell of it.  I shared these teas with some friends who all commented on how good they smelled and tasted.  The flavors were rich and I didn’t have to add a ton of milk, sugar and honey to give these teas flavor.  I have been reading more and more of the health benefits of a cup of tea and am excited to add these Good Earth varieties to my repertoire

Coupons.com Update, 8/29/10

by Nicole on August 29, 2010

Each Sunday I am going to bring you the updated list of printable coupons from coupons.com! You can access these coupons by clicking here. Some of them are not available in all zip codes. You can print two (2) of each coupon by hitting the back button on your browser.

Printing the coupons by clicking here supports this blog! Remember to contact your local stores to see what their policy on accepting Internet printables is! It’s best to print as many as you think you may need as soon as you see them (read: right now) because you never know when a coupon will reach its print limit. Print now, hold on to them, and wait for a good deal to use them!

FYI – sometimes coupons reset several times each month so even if you have already printed 2 of a certain coupon, try to print it again – if you’re lucky, it was reset and you can print 2 more!
