Downy Unstopables/Scentsy Warmer

I recently seen a pin on Pinterest about using the Downy Unstopables in a Scentsy warmer and thought I would try it out.  I have an extra top from a broken pot, so if it didn't work out I wasn't out anything besides the $1.00 for the Unstopables. 
 
I found a "one time use" package of Unstopables for $1.00 at Target recently and opted to buy these instead of a big bottle in case this didn't turn out.
 
(large Scentsy warmer)
 
I tried is out in both a large Scentsy warmer and a Mid-size Scentsy warmer.
 
 
(mid-size Scentsy Warmer)
 
As you can see from the pictures I didn't but a lot in the warmer tops.  If you have ever used a Scentsy warmer before you know how easy they clean up.  The Unstopables weren't as easy, but they were still pretty easy.  The paper towel didn't soak the melted beads up, but they wiped right out.
 
The first time I used them I only used them in my large warmer and dumped about 2x as much in.  My whole house smelled of Unstopables! :)  ( I live in a one level 3 bedroom house!)  I didn't use as much this time, but I added a second warmer also and it isn't as intense this time.
 
I think you would be able to get about 6-8 uses out of the small package that I bought.
 
 

** I already owned the Scentsy pot. Scentsy does not recommend using anything BUT their waxes in their warmers, if you use anything but their waxes you void ANY warranty they have for their pots. Use the Unstopables at your OWN risk. Scentsy, Downy & CrazieyMommiey are not responsible for any damages caused by using the Unstopables in the warmer.

Great Value Queso Blanco Cheese Dip





 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I purchased this at Wal-Mart for my famly, but decided to also reviewit.  This was NOT given to me to review.
 
This cheese dip is the Wal-Mart Great Value brand.  The flavor of it is Queso Blanco.  It didn't taste much like cheese, but was very spicy.  I don't think I would buy this one again because it was too spicy for my taste.  Also, besides the spice didn't have much for flavor.  I woud buy the more expensive brand next time to get the better flavor.

Flings Pop-up Recycle & Trash Bins


Flings pop-up recycle & trash bins sent me two (2) bins to review with my honest opinion at no cost to myself.
 
 
I was pretty excited when I got the "yes" to review for Flings Bins.  Something new and exciting to try out!
 
Here is a little about Flings Bins..
  • GREAT for parties, Flings Bins can go where "real" trash/recycle cans can not!
  • Easy to use
  • Fit GREAT in a bag to pack for a party
  • 100% biodegradable/degradable
  • Fun colors & patterns for any occasion
  • Each bin ships the size of half a pizza box
  • Stands by itself

 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   I received two bins to review.  When I opened these and set them up they were smaller than what I had pictured in my mind.  To my surprise though they hold a LOT.  I used the recycle bin for all of my recyclables.  I live in the country ,and we don't have the option to recycle unless we run it into town all the time, and I HATE having the white trash bags laying in my garage when we forget to run them to town.  Using the Flings Bins Recycle bin I don't have the ugly white trash bags laying around.  The Flings Bins also hold a lot more than what I thought, so that is a GREAT plus!
     The Flings Bins POP UP Woman's Day bin I thought would work wonderfully for my pop cans/pop bottles.  According to the website these 13 gallon bins can hold up to 60 cans/bottles.  I lined mine with a trash bag so I can use it more then once and not have to worry about any spilled pop from my pop cans.
 
Click here to see a fun interactive demo about Flings Bins.
 
The Women's Day bin (polka dots) that I received cost $6.99 on Amazon.com
The Recycle bin that I received, a pack of 10 cost $34.99 on Amazon.com

S'mores Snack Mix 2


Have you ever wondered what to do with all of those Tootsie Rolls that you get at parades in the summer time??  Here is a GREAT recipe to use some of those up!

You will need...
  • Graham Crackers
  • Marshmellows ( I used the small colored ones, but any will do!)
  • Tootsie Rolls
  1. Take one sleeve of graham crackers and break them into small bite size pieces.
  2. Dump those into a large bowl.
  3. Dump the bag of marshmellows into the bowl.
  4. Unwrap and cut the tootsie rolls into 2-3 pieces and dump those into the bowl.
  5. Mix it all together and you have a s'mores snack! :)

When you use the tootsie rolls you don't have to worry about them melting like chocolate, but you will still have the chocolate taste!

S'mores Snack Mix


You will need..

  • Golden Grahams ( I used Honey Grahams)
  • Marshmellows ( I had some left over from the 4th of July)
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Baggies



I put 1 cup of Honey Grahams, 1/4 cup of Chocolate Chips, and 10-15 Mashmellows into the baggies.  They were placed in the pantry where the kids could grab them when they wanted a snack.  These were a big hit with them!

Campbell's Go Soups

I was sent a full size sample of Campbell's Go, Spicy Chorizo, from Smiley360 to try out.
 

The Campbell's Go soup is great for a work lunch, or for someone on the go. 

This one is the Spicy Chorizo with pulled chicken & black beans.

You can warm the soup right in the pouch!  It is SUPER easy to do!!

First you tear on the dotted line to vent the pouch.  You then microwave it for 2-2.5 mins.  When you take the pouch out of the microwave the sides are cool to the touch while the soup is super hot.  You then pour it into a bowl and enjoy!
You can also warm it on a stove top by opening the bag then pouring it into a saucepan over medium heat till warmed/heated all the way.

The Spicy Chorizo had GREAT flavor, but I wasn't a fan of the meat in it.

When I think of pulled chicken I think that it would be like a shredded chicken.  This was more like a chicken hotdog.

The veggies were great!  Also, if you like spicy foods your should really try this!



I was able to try this thanks to Smiley360 .  Check them out and/or sign up here! :)
