Generation Good





I was selected to try Seventh Generation Fresh Lavender Scent Laundry Detergent for FREE in #generationgood!#freesample

I was pleasantly surprised at the deep clean and fresh scent of Seventh Generation. True to product statement of #genertationgood "Our Laundry Detergent is tough on stains and made with plant-based ingredients. With no dyes, optical brighteners or synthetic fragrances, Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent gives you great results in HE and standard machines and works in all water temperatures. This Laundry Detergent, made with plant-based ingredients, is a USDA Certified Biobased Product 97%." as per their claims.  I found this to be a very positive experience, great for cold water use, sensitive skin, and cleaning.

I used two samples for myself and one to a neighbor, she is thrilled with the clean it gave her husbands work clothes which are always hard to clean. I used it on my bed linen and throws for the living room. 




Surviving Holidays Part 2

I manage It's the holiday season - a time for family, friends, and FOOD! How do you maintain a healthy lifestyle amongst all the sweet treats and junk food? See what other Upsiders are saying by joining the discussion in The Upside Forum. #TheUpside #ad

We don't do a lot of sweets or unhealthy foods, we stay pretty basic. The closest we get to junk food is a small fat-free no-bake cheesecake. It is more of a time for our family to enjoy one another, reflect on our blessed lives, and thankful for being together. If there is such a thing it is a keto holiday like any other holiday.

I have lived in many places around the world and the USA, one central issue is that people tend to celebrate with food. Once upon a time, I did as well, my comfort from my Mom was food. Yes, it is a pleasurable experience however it is not a healthy way to live. Food is fuel; I am by no means a skinny diet freak, but very aware of health concerns that run through the DNA. Prevention starts with daily, then holidays.







Surviving the Holidays

Stress can have several harmful effects on the body - headaches being one of them. What are your go-to remedies to combat painful stress headaches? See what other Upsiders are saying by joining the discussion in The Upside Forum. #TheUpside #ad
#TheUpside Headaches are a part of life, holiday or not. Life can be stressful, I ask what are your normal and natural ways to combat headaches without reaching for opioids?
Mine is black coffee and bc powders, or aspirin, a cool dark room, definitely silence is a big key for me. Try as you might they may sneak in, but ask yourself one question. Am I going to remember what stressed me out five years from now? A year from now? Why am I stressing? Take a deep breath and realize the holiday is meant for family and friends, giving thanks and appreciating we are all still around to enjoy it.

 Have you ever had one of those days when stress overtakes you? Suddenly you realize you are wearing a light colored t-shirt dress, the longer you sit the more nervous you get. Not to worry any longer with Secret Clinical strength antiperspirant and deodorant. No longer do I worry about wetness or stains when the situation gets out of control. I stay dry and fresh and yes it does last up to 48 hours. I am pleased to be part of this sampling, now I can go about any activity with more confidence.

Spice Up Your Life


French's Dijon Mustard with Chardonnay




“This post was sponsored by French’s as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.”

When and why do you opt for French’s Dijon instead of Classic Yellow. Dijon vs Classic, I like them both although the new Dijon gave me the kick I needed without having to use horseradish or jalapeƱos it gives you a light kick at first then a blast of flavor. Classic is good for younger palettes, this Dijon is indeed spice filled and the smell, texture, and taste are perfect for me.

The recipes on the site of French's are really great. I enjoy the deviled egg recipe. Click the Recipes to find your favorite to try

Tell us about the perfect sandwich, featuring French’s Dijon Mustard. I am simple with a lean protein and French's Dijon with Chardonnay it the perfect pairing for me both tastes is bold and doesn't need anything else to mute the delicious kick you get. It takes a boring sandwich of ham to a whole new level. Any dieter will be thrilled to take their food from humdrum to zing festivities.







It's a Green Thing

Ozeri INSTAVAC Green Earth Food Storage Container Set




Click to buy

I received these as a gift because I am constantly complaining about the four snap lock containers that went out of business in our area. These completely surprised and tickled me to death. I was buying a larger name brand of fresh food saver containers but some were not big enough others to big. With the four sizes, these came in it was perfect.

I don't use the fresh food storage containers in the microwave, no other reason than I use them for fresh veggies and fruits, but that is a personal logical choice. The ripples in the bottom allow me to turn my produce gently and they don't lay on a solid surface. The vac top lid is great, simply open by flipping the green tab up gently push the clear top and you can hear the air leave then while holding down close the tab.

If you have a problem there are instruction included. Great holiday gift for anyone especially Mom.

Great product, I wanted this because I am in a home I use different products and cleaners. Three mops a must and two brooms one for upstairs another for porch/basement. The holder also has sturdy hooks for dustpans and stiffer type dusting handles. It holds up to 35 pounds.

I will add pics and you will notice I hang them opposite as described. The reason, if mops are wet or broom is dusty I would rather clean the floor than I would scrub a wall. Yes, the grip is tight enough you can flip your brooms either way without worry.

I did have a problem with screws, this was a house manufacture issue. I had to use three-inch screws due to hidden wall add on and the house is very old. Suggestions make sure you use a level and stud finder for at least two screw holes preferably the ends. Very pleased with the room I saved.
Tools you need an auto screwdriver or drill, level and stud finder for security. This is my honest opinion written on my own volition.#BerryAve
