Evora Plus Review and Giveaway!!

EvoraPlus is New and Improved!! For those of you who missed my review from last summer of Evora Plus........I'll let you know a little about this fantastic product AND about what they have changed for the better!!

EvoraPlus is the first ever probiotic whitening system to be offered on the market. Not only does it whiten your teeth....it promotes optimal gum and teeth health....as well as improving your breath!! When placed on your tongue, the freeze dried probiotics are melted and they affix themselves to your teeth AND below the gum line.....helping to rid you of the harmful bacteria in your mouth, while leaving the good bacteria alone. 

I have used both versions of Evora Plus. The first version you had to take twice a day and it was pushed out of a little foil wrapper....like gum. This new version is mintier and more powerful. It only needs to be taken once a day. It is also in a more convenient and eco-friendly (bottled) package. 

For my part, I can tell you that I totally believe in the power of this little probiotic mint. I used it for the first time last summer, beginning two weeks before a wedding I was to attend and by the time of the wedding my teeth has whitened several shades. This new version is much more easy to use and just as effective....I totally recommend it if you are looking for a natural and HEALTHY way to whiten your teeth!!

A Birthday Chocolate Fondue

Don't forget to link up to my Marvelous Mess party....each week I pick a new post to feature on my sidebar!!!!

For my Sisters birthday I made (instead of the usual cake) a Chocolate Fondue. For dipping we had strawberries, apples, bananas, cheesecake, and raspberries (with little chocolate chips inside them).

This is such a fun dessert and a great way to shake things up at a birthday party!!

Seriously. Awesome.

The chocolate chip raspberries came from an idea off the site Saucy's Sprinkles:

These were a big hit with Munchkin, who got to place most of the chips in the raspberries.....one for the raspberry.....and one for me.......

This dessert ended up being much better for you (in terms of fat and calories) because you only need a small amount of Chocolate fondue to make your fruit taste decadent.

Here is my Quick Chocolate Fondu Recipe:

Strawberries (rinsed and dried)

Rasperries (rinsed and dried)

Bananas (diced)

Apples (rinsed and medium thickness pieces)

Pre-made Cheesecake

1 12oz bag of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

8oz Heavy Cream

~Prepare fruit and place on platter just before you serve. Dice cheesecake and place on platter.

~In a double boiler on medium heat, pour in the heavy cream and cook until little bubbles begin to appear.

~Add all the Chocolate chips to the cream and let them melt.Whisk to mix them completely (you want the fondue to be entirely smooth).

~Immediately add mixture to a fondue pot and keep heated. If the fondue starts to get firm, add a tablespoon of the cream to help it thin out and whisk it again.

*I bought my cheesecake in the frozen food section (it may have been a Betty Crocker brand?) .....and I was pretty disappointed with it. It was NOT a good Cheesecake for Fondue......it was way too loose and crumbly. And Melt-y.....in my book, cheesecake should never *melt*. I recommend buying one from the bakery section of the grocery (or make your own) instead.*

*To go with the fondue, we had some Moscato d'Asti wine....the perfect dessert wine for Fondue*

Ebeanstalk: A Great Place to Find the Perfect Gift!!!

Have you ever seen a Rody?

This has, arguably, been one of the funnest toys we've had in our house. We got it for Munchkin at 2 years old....and this Rody has been used heavily since. By every child that has entered out house. It's not just a rocking horse (but it can be if you buy the base for it) it is a seriously fun bouncing horse. It is incredible study and very well made....this horse can outlast so many other toys!! And, most importantly....it holds the interest of children of all ages and stages. I recommend the rocking base for young children (1 to 2) years of age and make sure you're using it on a carpeted area to lessen any accidental falls. This toy is such a blast. A great place to find this guy (and other Children's Learning Toys)  is Ebeanstalk.

Ebeanstalk is a site I found when I was looking for great toys for a 2 year old. I had a birthday party to go to and it had been a while since I had shopped for that age group. So, using Ebeanstalk, I narrowed my search down to the age group and catagory:

Isn't that INCREDIBLE?!?! They give you so many ways to narrow down your search and find exactly what you're looking for. Toys for dexterity, emotional development, to encourage imagination......toys that have to do with animals, ride on toys, building and stacking, arts and crafts.....

I Heart Ebeanstalk. 

Not only did I find 2 year old gifts......but I got a lot of ideas for older ages and stages too!!

I definitely recommend going to Ebeanstalk to shop for kids of all ages.
