CoolCanucks Blog ~ Dr. Lucy’s Yummy gluten free Cookies Review!!

Posted on May 15th, 2013 by admin in CoolCanucks Reviews.

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!!

CoolCanucks Blog ~ Ther­ma­cell Mos­quito Area Repel­lent Patio Lantern Review

Posted on May 11th, 2013 by admin in CoolCanucks Reviews.

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!!

Posted on May 11th, 2013 by admin in CoolCanucks Reviews.

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!!

Posted on May 10th, 2013 by admin in CoolCanucks Reviews.

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

I am putting all the good­ies together and I will make sure you won’t be disappointed.

Every­one wins with a con­test like this!   Now go clean off those shelves, please!”

Cool­Canucks Blog ~ Thera Pearl Hot & Cold Therapy Review!!

Posted on May 10th, 2013 by admin in CoolCanucks Reviews.

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!!

Posted on May 10th, 2013 by admin in CoolCanucks Reviews.

“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!!
