[Review] Crystal Head Vodka
Dan Aykroyd is a well-known actor, musician, entrepreneur and spiritualist; a believer in what he calls the “invisible world” where otherworldly presences are a “form of reality as valid as our normal reality.” Partner and veteran fine artist John Alexander has exhibited extensively in the United States and around the world. Together, they were avid researchers of the legend of the 13 crystal heads. And from this inspiration, an idea was born. Aykroyd and Alexander wanted the opportunity to get closer to the myth of the 13 crystal heads. After more than two years in development, their moment finally arrived. When their glass depiction of a head was complete, Milan-based manufacturer Bruni Glass declared it to be a bottle of unsurpassed complexity and quality. Now, what to put in it? Vodka became the drink of choice. But with it, a commitment to do something enlightened and different. A quadruple-distillation process made Crystal Head as pure as vodka can be, but the quest for an almost mystical purity continued. As a final stage, the liquid was filtered through 500-million year-old crystals known as Herkimer diamonds. These quartz crystals are found in very few places in the world, including Herkimer, New York and regions in Tibet and Afghanistan. Perhaps because they share the raw material from which the original crystal heads were carved, they are thought to have similar spiritual qualities. The result was perfect vodka, with absolutely no additives. No glycol (an ingredient for engine anti-freeze); no citrus oil (used in its raw form as an insect exterminant); and no raw sugar. Nothing was needed, because it was abundantly clear that finely produced vodka came by its smoothness and flavor naturally. So in the end, the only things required were a glass and a pure spirit of one’s own. A controversial archaeological mystery, 13 crystal heads have been found in regions around the world, from the American southwest to Tibet. They’re dated between 5,000 and 35,000 years old, and were supposedly polished into shape from solid quartz chunks over a period of several hundred years. Although according to Hewlett Packard engineers, they bear no tool marks to tell us exactly how they were made. The heads are thought to offer spiritual power and enlightenment to those who possess them, and as such stand not as symbols of death, but of life.
Crystal Head is NOW available in all 50 States and all Provinces in Canada. Please contact the nearest liquor store in your area for availability. Crystal Head Vodka is expanding internationally. Be sure to come back often. Our objective was to make traditional vodka using one of the planet’s cleanest, sweetest water sources. We selected the pure glacial aquifers of Newfoundland, Canada. The mash is distilled only 4 times so as not to diminish taste. The liquid is then filtered 3 times through charcoal and then poured 3 times through Herkimer semi-precious crystals. The smoothness you experience is achieved not by what we add to the vodka.
This vodka sure is interesting. It smells very like rubbing alcohol and does have that monarch smell. Though when you taste it, it blows your mind its so smooth. Tastes just like water and you don’t even need a chaser how good it is. The bottle is made of glass and the cork is a reseal cork. Its a 750ML bottle of 40 proof alcohol. The bottle isnt cheap its a $53 dollar bottle. Though people have the saying novelty type of items of alcohol means the alcohol is gross. This actually is very good vodka. I am a huge fan of vodka and I like to try them all. This didn’t give me a headache or a hangover. So if your in the craving for some vodka try Dan Aykroyd bottle its so worth every penny. Its great in a glass of ice, or mixed with cola/rootbeer.

crayola bathtub fingerpaint soap set: Make bath time fun time! Crayola Bathtub Fingerpaint Soaps let kids get clean and creative in the tub. Make masterpieces on the tub wall with 4 bright finger paint colors (blue, green, red & yellow). Ages 3
These are not that fun and really hard to find. The paint is like blobs you can do circles or smears and that’s about it. They don’t stick to anything so you can just blob and wipe. The hand paint holder isnt deep holds maybe 4-5 dabs in it and the sponge is really cool. wipes up the paint for you! the white part above the sponge already is close to falling off after first use. My kids 4/2 didn’t quite get the concept on how they work and weren’t really fun for them at all. The bottles are also tiny and don’t last many baths.
Crayola Bathtub Markers: New! Crayola Bathtub markers! Great companion for Crayola Bathtub Crayons and Tints! Set comes with four markers (red, green, blue, and orange). Draw bold lines and dots, then wipe them off with ease. Bring out the creativity and imagination of your child with Crayola Bathtub Markers!
These are actually real fun. we got the special pack and got a whats the mystery color one. They work great and draw easy and are alot of fun. They only work in tubs and once the water hits them they draw. They are easy to use and float in the water and wipe up fast!! I love these pens and I will keep buying them they are cheap and lasts months of using!!
Sesame Street Fizzy Tub Color Tablets: Your child will love bathing in the brightly colored water created by Sesame Street Fizzy Tub Colors!

The package contains a variety of red, yellow and blue tablets that are perfect for combining to create many new colors! The packaging features the adorable Elmo character from Sesame Street.
These are not that good. They taste nasty and they hurt my kids eyes and they leave stains. Don’t get me wrong there fun and neat to use and I would use them. I use them at the end of the tub time instead and I wash off right away. Not much to say they dissolve in less then 30 seconds. You can mix the colors. I do one color on each side tell they blend throws my kids off hehe. They are cool just need some work on them!!

This product is nice as well. A very small amount will go a very long way. Even with the saying 2x the amount this actually uses less and you get more out of it. The smell was awesome my clothes stayed fresh for so long. I opened one drawer a week later and smelled the same as it did when I pulled it out of the dryer. I really didn’t have any issue with this product. If you like detergent that’s easy to pour and uses less this is right for you!
[Review] Purex UltraPacks detergent
In February 2012, we will be launching Purex UltraPacks detergent–another great innovation from Purex. These unique, convenient packs contain a complete load’s worth of concentrated liquid laundry detergent. Plus, since it is a liquid, it dissolves quickly, even in cold water, to fight stains and clean your laundry. With double the cleaning power in every drop, you can trust your clothes will come out bright, white, and clean,
1) Dry your hands before handling the UltraPacks – (water dissolves the film).
2) Put the packs in the washer before adding clothing (the more time they spend in the water, the faster they dissolve).
3) If you have a front loader, make sure to put the pack directly into the drum, not in the drawer.
I got these and I LOVE them. They are awesome and no more spills, no more messes and most of all NO MORE MEASURING. The one thing I have a issue with was they sit on my dryer because I have no where else to put them and the dryer makes them pop and leak. Otherwise they are perfect to teach kids how to use a right amount and you can toss in before or after clothes are in and that’s it. They have saved us already $20+ bucks and I love how they have a free and clear detergent. I have yet to see them in stores they will be February and believe me they are worth every penny no more messes/measuring!

This kit I got to review was a pretty sweet size, Bigger then a sample size so I got weeks out of it. I love how its simple to use and easy to use. Didn’t require certain rules like most acne products use. I also loved how it didn’t stink and didn’t burn at all. My skin has been oily due to WA weather with sending us mix signals on how the weather goes. This product helped pull the oily skin out and help get my skin dry and help kill the acne that was forming. Within the week I used it my skin was already looking healthy and feeling good and felt good going out! Kids make mom’s skin bad due to lack of having showers or getting time to wash my face.
