Christmas in July: SodaStream Giveaway

snowmanchristmasevent Now this really is like Christmas. SodaStream sent Tracy and I both a machine to review. Now I haven’t heard what she likes most about it yet, but she did tell me that her husband is in love with it. LOL.

Me, I love soda, coke is my favorite, next comes Dr. Pepper, unless you can find a bottle of imperial sugar DP. Then I’m in love and nothing comes next to it. So after coke those two I would have to say that I love sprite. Yes I love soda, well, once I had kids I gave up soda. Mostly. We don’t keep it in the house the same way we used to, but whenever I’m out at someone else’s house and they have soda, I LOVE it. So I drink their soda.

Sodastream was at the green fair last year and I was really interested in it. I love how you can make it at home, it has fewer calories and sugar in it, and it comes in a smaller portion than a 2 liter does. So I can make just enough and put some in the fridge and not worry about it getting flat before I have the chance to drink it all.

The SodaStream can be broken up into four different components.

The plastic machine base: Jet Soda Stream

Now you might think I’m a little crazy and that’s ok, but I’m afraid of CO2 containers. I’ve seen too many action movies where they use them to explode other things so, I made my husband test out the entire process. Again, I must stress when I let my husband review things, he does not read the directions. Please read the directions unless you want to be cleaning up water from all over the floor.

Directions:

Take off the lid of the CO2 and Attach the CO2 to the plastic base

Fill up plastic bottle with water up to the line and Screw it on tightly

Press the pump at the top of the plastic base and hold it down until it buzzes (repeat 3 times)

Then be sure to enjoy your soda!!

Jones Soda Holiday Flavors are worth trying #giveaway

clip_image001My husband and I are the crazy flavor testers for new products that come out from Jones Soda. No, we don’t work for them and yes we purchase them. We love their Halloween flavors but we didn’t purchase any this year. He and I have different favorites and since we don’t want our kids to drink them we just thought it would be easier to not even have them in the house.

I love the Candy Corn and he likes, all the rest; sour apple, Carmel apple, I mean I can’t even remember all of the crazy names and flavors.

For the Holidays though Jones Soda is famous for their holiday set.

 

 

 

 

We purchased two sets one year, I’m not sure they make this Holiday Pack anymore; but we tried them all. I liked mashed potato and butter and cranberry soda. I’m not sure what my husband liked as it was a long time ago. But it was so much fun for us.

This holiday season, Jones Soda Co. is releasing a new line of festive myJones bottles that can be customized for that special person or used as a creative and economical greeting card for all.  Commemorate precious moments and special people for an unforgettable heart felt gift, stocking stuffer or party favor.

Creating myJones is quick and simple – gift givers can log onto www.myJones.com, submit a photo, a personal greeting and choose from four holiday flavors:

Holiday Cheer – Strawberry Lime

Reindeer Root Beer – Root Beer

Evergreen Apple – Green Apple

Snowdrift Soda – Cream Soda

6 or 12-packs are available for $16.99 or $29.99 plus shipping and arrive in approximately 3- 4 weeks. Year-round, the possibilities are endless for myJones as a gift for all seasons, a party favor with a decorative flair or an off-the-wall method to honor milestones. All Jones Soda products are made with pure cane sugar and contain no high fructose corn syrup and are very addicting.

So you can go to My Jones and pick your flavor, upload your photo and order your case. I think if my husband and I were to get married again we would do this instead of the apple cider we did with our wedding information on it. These are UV protected color photos.
