CoolCanucks Blog ~ UV Skinz Review!!
Wednesday, May 29th, 2013
UV Skinz is an extremely important and reputable company that I will NEVER forget. Rhonda (the owner) created the products and this excellent company, sunblock clothing that blocks out harmful UV rays, after losing her 32-year old husband Darren to skin cancer. Rhonda made it her definate life’s mission to raise awareness in any way that she possibly could. UV Skinz is entirely devoted to providing protective swimshirts and pants for everyone, from babies all the way to grown men!
If you have children, extra sensitive skin, or spend a lot of time in the sun, I would highly recommend checking out UV Skinz!
Armed with the extreme passion of protecting their 3 young sons from skin cancer, Rhonda sought out clothing that would provide total UV protection. This led her to start UV Skinz.
Their family story is tragic, but it has lead to prevention of skin cancer for many people.
UV Skinz has an extensive troop of supporters, including Marcia Cross, Tori Spelling, and Matthew McConaughey (and being featured in People Magazine, the New York Times, and Chicago Tribune, and many more!)
UV Skinz comes in an extensive array of colours, sizes, and designs. You just can’t go wrong with these wonderful clothing items! It all begins with prevention, prevention is the key!
UV Skinz are comfortable, fashion-forward swimwear, tees, shorts and hats that are available in a wide variety of sizes, infants through adults. Most importantly, UV Skinz offers chemical-free sun protection, carrying a UPF rating of 50+, which blocks out over 98% of the sun’s harmful rays. UV Skinz are also a fabulous alternative for kids and babies with skin allergies and sensitivities to chemicals that many sunscreens contain.
I was sent an awesome hot pink beach cover-up for review and I absolutely love it! As usual, UV Skinz exceeded my expectations and certainly did not disappoint! I give a huge kudos to this company, and absolutely recommend UV Skinz to everyone!! I had the pleasure of being able to review a childrens short sleeve UV Skinz swim shirt, matching board shorts and a reversible bucket hat in size 3T! It is so adorable beyond belief! It’s colours are orange and navy stripes, and very sharp looking!! I definitely recommend that everyone dress their family in UV Skinz. The customer service I received and the delivery time were completely outstanding!!
Buy It!! You can purchase all of these awesome clothes at UV Skinz

CoolCanucks Blog ~ Dr. Lucy’s Yummy gluten free Cookies Review!!
Wednesday, May 15th, 2013
Dr. Lucy’s Yummy gluten free Cookies are made without milk, eggs, peanuts or tree nuts, but you’d never know it—they’re delicious! Now one can enjoy gluten free cookies that taste so good and satisfies the sweet tooth!
Heavenly, gluten-free cookies are hard to find, but Dr. Lucy has found a way to beat that by creating the most delicious, gluten-free, vegan and allergy-free cookies on the market today. This company also sells many delectable flavors that honestly tickles the taste buds!
When Dr. Lucy Gibney learned her child had severe food allergies, she got down to some serious medical research — in the kitchen. Today, Lucy’s cookies stand as delicious proof that no one should have to sacrifice tasty treats because of their dietary concerns.
“Our Quality Assurance Program provides delicious treats for you and your family while doing everything we can to safeguard you from these specific allergens: gluten, milk, eggs, peanuts and tree nuts.”
With Dr. Lucy’s certifications for gluten-free, kosher and vegan products – you’re certain to find the perfect treat everytime!!
These cookies come in many tantilating flavors: Sugar Cookie, Cinnamon Thin, Oatmeal Cookie, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Maple Bliss, Ginger Snap, Holiday Sugars and Chocolate Mint! I also noticed a delightful snack on their website that is new to me, Gluten-free Chocolate Brownie Cakes! Oh they look so yummy!!!
All the cookies are made from a similar cookie “base” that consists of the in-house flour blend (garbanzo, potato starch, gluten-free oat, tapioca, sorghum and fava), evaporated cane juice, soy milk, several oils (palm fruit, soybean, canola and olive), filtered water, flavoring and citric acid from corn, crushed soybeans, soy lecithin, non-dairy lactic acid, beta carotene, baking powder, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, calcium carbonate, annatto extract color, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and methylcellulose.
Dr. Lucy’s cookies website describes the cookies as “crispy, crunchy,” and they hit the nail directly on the head. There is not a chewy bit to be found in these cookies. They’re seriously crunchy throughout. If you like your cookies crunchy, you’ll love these from the first bite to the last bite (which is often one and the same bite… since the cookies are pretty tiny, you can pop a whole cookie in your mouth all at once) and not even feel guilty!!
I received a couple of boxes of these amazing cookies. The mouthwatering flavors sent to me were Cinnamon Thin and Ginger Snap. They were extremely tasty and enjoyed by the entire household. No one complained, and even walked back for seconds. Melyssa is a really picky eater, and so when I am sent food or drink items to review, they must pass her taste test first. She gave Dr. Lucy’s Yummy gluten free Cookies a very big thumbs up, and continued to snack on them throughout the course of the evening. So if she loves them, I definitely know that you will love them! I really liked the yumminess of Dr. Lucy’s cookies too. What a great anytime snack, and also a welcomed addition to everyone’s lunch bag around here!
Dr. Lucy’s gluten free Cookies gets a huge thumbs up from CoolCanucks, and I will definitely be ordering more in the near future!!
♥→I received product for review. The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way. Please do your own research before purchasing products. Your opinions and results may differ than mine.←♥
Buy It!! You can purchase these gluten free Cookies at Dr. Lucy’s website, and also Lucy’s products are now available in over 7,000 stores across the U.S. & Canada and also in select stores online. Use their store locator to find a store near you by clicking here!

CoolCanucks Blog ~ Thermacell Mosquito Area Repellent Patio Lantern Review
Saturday, May 11th, 2013
Now that summer is here, most of us spend a lot of time outdoors whether it’s in the warm sunshine, or sitting under a porch or an awning while it’s raining.
Along with summer comes those pesky bugs, namely mosquitoes!!
I am one of those people who get’s picked on and bitten the most by those damn mosquitoes, I am unsure of why they love me so much, but they swarm around me no matter what! I have even been out at camp in the bush picking blueberries and those darn things have bitten through my track pants and t-shirt!
I was convinced that there would never be a cure-all, but thanks to the ThermaCELL Mosquito Patio Lantern — the mosquitoes have diminished!!
Not only are mosquitoes bothersome, one must also worry about the dreaded West Nile Virus!
West Nile virus is a disease spread by mosquitoes.
The West Nile virus is a type of virus known as a flavivirus. Researchers believe West Nile virus is spread when a mosquito bites an infected bird and then bites a person.
Although many people are bitten by mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus, most do not know they’ve been exposed. Few people develop severe disease or even notice any symptoms at all.
Risk factors for developing a more severe form of West Nile virus include:
•Conditions that weaken the immune system, such as HIV, organ transplants, and recent chemotherapy
•Older or very young age
•Pregnancy
West Nile virus may also be spread through blood transfusions and organ transplants. It is possible for an infected mother to spread the virus to her child through breast milk.
Symptoms
Mild disease, generally called West Nile fever, may cause some or all of the following symptoms:
•Abdominal pain
•Diarrhea
•Fever
•Headache
•Lack of appetite
•Muscle aches
•Nausea
•Rash
•Sore throat
•Swollen lymph nodes
•Vomiting
These symptoms usually last for 3 — 6 days.
More severe forms of disease, which can be life threatening, may be called West Nile encephalitis or West Nile meningitis, depending on what part of the body is affected.
This baby would make an unbelievable Father’s Day Gift for dad and makes a great repellent while he’s laying on the hammock!
It’s effective at repelling black flies, mosquitoes, and other flying nuisances. When you’re choosing mosquito lamps or bug repellent lights for your patio, consider the benefits of this dual-function outdoor lantern bugs hate.
- Effective within a 15 x15-foot area, the size of an average patio or deck
- Easy to use — no candle or open flame
- Comfortable: No smelly lotions, sprays, or oils
- Convenient: Attractive size, portable, lightweight
If you’re going to be outside you need a Thermacell Mosquito Area Repellent Patio Lantern. All I can say is wow. This thing is amazing! I took it out on our first trip to the cottage this year and it’s been a really warm spring where the black flies were all over the place. I turned this thing on and within 5 minutes there was not one fly in sight. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! I hate mosquito’s as well, and their were none in sight while this device was on! I’m really impressed, and so happy that I was sent one for review! My husband said that this was a God-send, and he told me that we need a few more for camp, as well as for when he goes on fishing and his yearly hunting trips! You can purchase these babies right at the ThermaCELL.com website, as well as at a lot of the big box stores such as Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Walmart, and even on Amazon.com!
I definitely give the Thermacell Mosquito Area Repellent Patio Lantern device a huge thumbs up, and absolutely recommend that everyone own a handful of these, they are that phenomenal!
Their customer service skills as well as their delivery time were also beyond outstanding!!

CoolCanucks Blog ~ FunBites Review!!
Saturday, May 11th, 2013
Don’t you wish that there was such a group called Picky-Eaters Anonymous? They have groups for everything else, so why not?
Yes I happen to know a lot of kiddies who are just that, picky eaters!!
Bobbie Rhoads knows exactly what it’s like to be the mommy of a picky eater, so that is how FunBites was invented! As a mother with 2 daughters, the oldest one was not a problem when it came to the food category, she enjoyed almost everything she was given. Her younger daughter on the other hand was a different story; a picky eater from the get go! FunBites instantly solved the picky eater dilemma!
“FunBites creates exciting bite-sized magic featuring a cutter that quickly cuts food into small bites, curved blades that make cutting simple and a matching popper that instantly pops! out fun-shaped bite-sized pieces — so hands are clean, food is untouched. FunBites is BPA free and made in the USA of a strong plastic that bridges plastic and metal… It’s no cookie cutter; it’s tough! It works on any kid-friendly food from pancakes, waffles, cheese to quesadillas, deli sandwiches and turkey burgers and more!”
See how they work in this awesome video:
I was sent some of these phenomenal FunBites to review, and this time they were in Heart Shapes! My nieces had a lot of fun helping me create wonderful masterpieces out of food, and it really kept them occupied and interested! These will solve your picky eater problems as well! They also work great when cutting out sandwiches for school lunches, and there is no more half sandwiches left in their lunch bags after school!
FunBites come in 2 styles, Cube it! which makes 12 cube shaped bites, and Luv it! which makes a big heart of 8 geometric shaped bites plus 2 bite size hearts. FunBites are BPA free and top-rack dishwasher safe, and are super easy to use. Choose your food, press down with the cutting portion and the push it out using the popper! The blades work on any surface and are not sharp enough to harm little fingers if they handle it! These are recommended for ages 3–10.
And even better? A portion of the proceeds from FunBites goes to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
I give FunBites a huge thumbs up, and recommend that every mother of younger children have a set of FunBites in their home!
Buy It!! Available online at FunBites, as well as http://www.tinywiggles.com/ which is in Canada!

CoolCanucks Blog ~ Baby Butz Cream Review!!
Friday, May 10th, 2013
Baby Butz 100% natural, 100% guaranteed.
Why force your child to suffer even worse diaper rash because of creams that contain toxic chemicals and alcohol?
Baby Butz is the ONLY diaper cream in Canada stamped with the Health Canada Natural Health Product number.
Baby Butz cream is made with their PFP (Proprietary Formulation Process) and the following natural ingredients:
♥Zinc Oxide ♥Lanolin ♥Petrolatum (Petroleum jelly) ♥Starch
Baby Butz does not include perfume, alcohol or chemicals which rocks!!
Tons of parents go through that annoying phase of baby’s skin conditions and it can be awful frustrating finding just the right product to cure these conditions.
Diaper rashes tend to be the most bothersome issues for babies because they occur in extremely sensitive areas and are often very painful if left untreated. Just by the looks of these unfortunate diaper rashes leaves a parent crushed at the thought of what their poor little one must be feeling, and knowing that they are in pain hurts a parent so badly.
I just recently came across a Canadian-based company that carries a fantastic diaper rash cream that left me wanting to know more. Baby Butz is a mom-founded company and was created because a caring mom saw a need for a diaper rash cream that was clear of perfumes, chemicals and toxins!
See more about this awesome product here on this video!
Demitri was truly blessed with having such a phenomenal mommy who loves him unconditionally! This story tugs at my heart, that’s for sure!!
Baby Butz Cream is 100% natural and 100% guaranteed. The ingredient list is: Zinc Oxide, Lanolin, Petrolatum, Starch. The texture of this cream is very thick and dense which means you need very little. After all, a little goes a long way!
Baby Butz Cream has already had tons of testimonials … especially from Neonatal nurses in the Calgary NICUs that are buying the cream and using it on the preemies! Also, The Winnipeg Hospital NICU is also using it as well on the preemies to name just a few!!
A blurb from the creator of Baby Butz Cream:
“I have been allowed to put my miracle cream into 8 of their Manitoba locations as a “test”.
If Baby Butz cream sells well during this test phase… it will be considered for placement in all the other Shoppers Drug Marts across Canada!
What does this mean to me…it’s a dream come true… Shoppers Drug Mart is the largest drug store chain in Canada…it reaches across all the Provinces and hopefully Baby Butz cream will be available to many more people…especially for the babies that truly need this product.
As an incentive to making your next purchase of Baby Butz cream from Shoppers Drug Mart…I am going to hold a CONTEST! (I am sorry but this will only be for Manitoba residents for now).
Buy your next Baby Butz cream at one of the eight Shoppers Drug Mart locations listed below and then send in your receipt for a chance to win a Mom + Baby gift basket worth over $100.00. http://a.pgtb.me/WZnRKq

CoolCanucks Blog ~ Thera Pearl Hot & Cold Therapy Review!!
Friday, May 10th, 2013
Being a health care aide for many years, I now suffer from pain in my lower back and my neck that never seems to totally go away. Some days are worse than others, and I find myself hunched over from spasms which isn’t the best feeling in the world. I also feel so sorry for my elderly parents who also suffer from arthritic pain. We have tried every pain fighting medication out there, and we have yet to come up with our pain relief miracle. Thanks to Thera Pearl doctor designed reusable Hot & Cold Therapy, we can finally rest easy now that we have found the answer to our pain relief prayers!
The Thera Pearl Hot & Cold Therapy packs are for use with common aches, pains, swelling and even bruising! You can freeze these to use as a cold pack, or simply slip it into the microwave to use as a hot pack!
These reusable hot and cold packs are also latex, lead, and BPA Free which rocks!
Thera Pearl sells the very best Hot & Cold Therapy packs out there! Choose from Sports Pack, Eye-ssential Mask, Neck Wrap, Back Wrap, Contour Pack, and even cute little Pals for kids Scrapes, Swelling and Bee Stings!
It was inevitable that I definitely wanted to review their best Neck Wrap for use on my achy tight neck. It honestly helped when I heated this for 1.5 minutes and placed it directly on my sorest spot, giving me instant relief!
“The Pearl Technology contained in every TheraPearl pack is game changing innovation born of an age old therapy. Crafted by a doctor who knew she could offer her patients something better than a bag of frozen peas, TheraPearl was designed with you in mind. Whether chilled or heated, Pearl Technology™ conveniently holds its temperature for the doctor recommended time of 20 minutes and conforms to your body to deliver the perfect relief from your aches and pains.
Easily pliable when frozen, our Pearl Technology™ is cold enough to offer targeted ice therapy without sacrificing flexibility. Not stiff, jagged or uncomfortable, chilled TheraPearl packs stay smooth and soft on your skin as they conform to deliver soothing relief.
When conveniently heated in a microwave, the Pearl Technology™ in your TheraPearl pack is the perfect solution to relax stiff muscles and encourage blood flow and healing. Delivering consistent heat therapy directly to your desired relief area without a mess, the reusable packs are combination therapy in one convenient product.
At TheraPearl, we recognize it’s all about giving people the opportunity to see and interact with our product. When they do, they love it. Unlike other products, our high quality clear packaging showcases the product inside, and our poke hole allows people to feel the difference for themselves. The distinct ornamental appearance of our pearls is our trademark, and it’s how consumers recognize our product in stores.”
Thera Pearl scores a huge thumbs up from CoolCanucks, that’s for sure!!

CoolCanucks Blog ~ Nisim® International Review!!
Friday, May 10th, 2013
“Nisim Inc. is a Canadian Company which has developed many innovative and successful products…such as Kalo® a hair inhibitor to prevent unwanted body hair from growing back, and Milagro a nail strengthener, as well as F.A.S.T.® Fortified Amino Scalp Therapy for the fastest growing hair possible!
Nisim is one of my all-time favorite hair-care products store, and Nisim International get’s bragging rights from this CoolCanuck!!
I cannot express how much I really love the F.A.S.T.® Fortified Amino Scalp Therapy shampoo and conditioner, and absolutely swear by these products! I have done a number of reviews for Nisim in the past, and they keep me coming back!!
F.A.S.T.® is designed to grow your hair as fast as humanly possible. F.A.S.T.® line includes both shampoo and conditioner!
Nisim has created a product that has been clinically proven to control excessive hair loss and regrow hair. Nisim’s products are shipped around the world and also has distributors in more than 30 countries!!
Nisim’s® products are all made with natural herbal based active ingredients developed using the proprietary extraction methods developed by Nisim after over 20 years of research on the study of hair growth.
“All of our products are backed by a 100% money back guarantee. You can try our products risk free knowing that we will refund your money if you are not satisfied for ANY reason.” Nisim® International sells the BEST Hair Products out there!
I absolutely both the shampoo and conditioner from the F.A.S.T.® line and I honestly cannot rave enough about this product! I just adore it, period! It makes my hair look so shiny, smooth, and healthy —– as well as making my hair stronger! My hair also grows so much quicker! I love it that much!
Another great product that they carry is called Kalo. This is a NEW herbal solution to an OLD painful problem — Hair Removal!
“Nisim® began selling the Kalo® Hair Inhibitor product in the spring of 1997. Kalo has also been sold through hair salons and spas. Kalo® has been very well received in the market, so much so that there are many knock-off products; even one of the large drug companies has created a product to compete with Kalo®.”
This time around I was asked to review the new sulfate free FAST shampoo and conditioner 2 pack from nisiminc.ca and I absolutely LOVE IT! Finally, a shampoo and conditioner that’s good for you! F.A.S.T. sulfate-free shampoo is unbelievably rich and full of moisturizing lather, providing extreme hydration to chronically dry hair while being light enough for all hair types.
Sulfate, or sodium laurilsulfate (also known as sodium laurel sulfate or SLS), is a chemical used in many commercial preparations. It is often used for cleaning solutions in the kitchen. In other words, it is a grease cutter and a drying agent. It is also a surfactant.
A surfactant reduces the surface tension so that instead of having two small drops of water, they will now more readily combine to make one, larger drop. It will also permit the mix of oil and water, which does not happen under normal conditions because surface tension keeps each as their own entity.
Think about it, if sulfate can cut the grease in house cleaners, it can certainly destroy the natural oils that are in your hair. Without oil, your hair will turn frizzy. Your scalp will also become devoid of the natural lubricants. Your body’s response is to make more oil. This becomes a vicious cycle the more you wash your hair. Not only will your scalp become very oily, so will your forehead where shampoo is in contact with it.
FAST shampoo and conditioner from nisiminc.ca are my all-time favorites when it comes to hair care. This is the only shampoo and conditioner that I will use, and nothing else even compares to it! I love the smell of it, and the way that your hair feels after you step out of the shower is great!
The biggest benefit is that you may actually gain some hair volume because of the health of your scalp and hair follicles will improve without the irritation of sulfate in your shampoo. So, if you have a sensitive scalp, chronically dry or brittle hair, colour treatments or perms, these are some of the reasons why sulfate –free shampoo is better for your hair.
As usual, nisiminc.ca get’s a huge thumbs up from CoolCanucks!!

Fondue Makes a Comeback!
Monday, July 9th, 2012
Velata: new innovation makes it quick, easy and convenient.
Food trends expert Christine Couvelier reveals all the biggest trends for summer
Toronto, ON – Fashion trends, beauty trends… food trends? Have you ever wondered how food items become so popular that you start to see them everywhere? One of Canada’s leading food trendologists Christine Couvelier projects food trends five years in advance. She says fondue is a fun and innovative dessert idea for summer and aligns with some of the biggest trends in food: small bites – big tastes, food on a stick, and food memories. Introducing the next generation of dessert fondue: Velata. Velata warmers transform the fondue experience into a family-friendly, hassle-free affordable luxury. It features a silicone dish that keeps one of four signature flavours of premium Belgian chocolate at the perfect temperature for dipping with no flame, scorching, complicated instructions, or messy clean up.
“Staying ahead of global food trends is imperative to developing timely food products that people want and need over the long term,” says Christine Couvelier, Food Trends Expert, Culinary Concierge. “Velata takes fondue to the next level with unprecedented convenience, overcoming the challenges of old-fashioned, high-maintenance fondue sets. Velata is so easy to use with such simple setup and cleanup – you just plug-in the electric warmer, microwave the chocolate in its package, pour into the dish, and dip your favorite foods. When your fondue experience is over, just pop the dish in the dishwasher – it’s that simple!”
Easy as 1, 2, 3!
Velata warmers use a 25-watt light bulb to melt your choice of Belgian chocolate in the silicone dish that prevents heat from escaping, keeping the melted chocolate at the perfect temperature and consistency with no stirring required. The dish goes from the refrigerator to the microwave to the dishwasher with ease and eliminates all the hassle of traditional fondue.
“The big trends this summer are small bites — big tastes because individuals are becoming more health conscious but still want their sweet indulgences in moderation; food on a stick because consumers often seek novelty items that make food more fun; and food memories because nostalgia creates comfort,” says Couvelier.
No Work, Big Impact – Sweet!
All of these trends can be brought to life in your own kitchen with Velata! Whether hosting guests, having family night, or even on a romantic date, Velata adds an interactive, delicious dipping experience to any event. Since summer is high season for fresh local fruit in Canada, Couvelier identified seasonal fruits along with dessert ideas that you can grab from your local grocery store that perfectly complement the decadent Belgian chocolate flavours:
Velata Milk Chocolate:
Premium milk chocolate as it is meant to be: sweet, smooth, and creamy. Velata Milk Chocolate is classic, comforting, versatile, and undeniably delicious. Pairs well with strawberries, bananas, shortbread cookies and strawberry shortcake.
Velata Dark Chocolate:
Savor the moment with a complex, full-bodied flavor. Deep, lush, and bold, this full-bodied chocolate is elegance itself. Pairs well with blackberries, raspberries, cherries and marshmallow and graham wafer crackers for s ‘mores.
Velata White Chocolate:
A confection of billowy buttercream infused with delicate notes of vanilla. Subtle and dreamy, Velata White Chocolate elevates any moment into the sublime. Pairs well with dried papaya, pineapple, bite-sized brownies and un-coated cake pops.
Velata Caramel Milk Chocolate:
Silky milk chocolate combined with toasted brown sugar caramel for an over-the-top rush of sweetness. Smooth and unexpected, Velata Caramel Milk Chocolate is designed to delight. Pairs well with apples, pears, cheesecake squares and rice crispy squares.
