Color Kitchen Natural Food Dyes




Natural food dyes that are chemical free? Yes, please! I was so amazed when I found these food colorants. They are made of 100% natural ingredients, like beets, turmeric and spirulina. They are artificial dye-free, gluten-free, vegan and non-GMO.
The only other ingredients that it contains is Maltodextrin. Here’s what Wikipedia says about it:

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide that is used as a food additive. It is produced from starch by partial hydrolysis and is usually found as a white hygroscopic spray-dried powder.[1] Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose and might be either moderately sweet or almost flavorless (depending on the degree of polymerisation).
It is commonly used for the production of soft drinks and candy. It can also be found as an ingredient in a variety of other processed foods. Maltodextrin is used as an inexpensive additive to thicken food products such as infant formula. It is also used as a filler in sugar substitutes and other products.

The FDA considers maltodextrin to be a safe food additive, and most people can consume it in moderate amounts.
So as far as it goes, these food dyes look like one of the best and safest on the market. They are so much fun to bake with this. You can also use them for other DIY projects, like soaps and candles. The colors are vibrant and gorgeous!

Wearever Gel Padded Socks




Wearever Gel Padded Socks are absolute must-have! They are so much better than insoles. The gel helps alleviate foot pain while massaging and comforting the feet. They are perfect for those who suffer from neuropathic or rheumatoid arthritis. They also provide arch support. So even if you don’t suffer from any disease, you can still see the advantage of these socks. It feels like walking on a cloud. Hiking has never been easier!

I also like that they are infused with Lavender essential oil, olive oil, jojoba oil and Vitamin E. They smell very nice, and the skin feels terrific!

Electric Toothbrush




I have never had an electric toothbrush before, and I’m highly impressed! This sonic electric toothbrush delivers up to 37,000 brush strokes per minute, removes up to 10x more dental plaque along the gum line than manual brushing. After the first time, I felt like I had professional cleaning done!! I could feel each tooth separately, and the surface was extremely smooth.
There are three settings: clean, soft and massage. I mainly use the first one as my teeth are not sensitive. However, the gum massage setting feels very nice. After a week of use I feel like my teeth are super clean and whiter, and my gums are very healthy. The toothbrush is super easy to use, and super easy to charge. I haven’t had to charge it yet, and it’s been 3 weeks. I love that you only need to charge it for 24 hours, once a month!
This electric toothbrush comes with three replaceable heads with caps, charging base and user manual.

Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Gourmet Lifestyle


Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Gourmet Living is my new favorite! It’s made from the Spanish Arbequina olives that are low on bitterness and have a nice peppery aftertaste.

It’s cold pressed, and this is what I always look for in olive oils. When producers add heat to the olives, it allows to extract more oil. However, the heat destroys the delicate flavors and aromas that are so valued in a good extra virgin olive oil.

Extra-virgin olive oil is an unrefined oil, which means that it’s not treated with any chemicals or altered by temperature. This is the highest quality olive oil you can find. It retains more true olive taste than regular olive oils.



Olive Oils has many wonderful health benefits:

  • Rich in healthy monounsaturated fats
  • Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Bacterial properties
  • Decreases the risk of stroke and heart disease
  • May help fight the Alzheimer's disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Rich in antioxidants

I love using this Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil in salads. It enhances the flavor of fresh vegetables, and provides my family with the healthiest nutrients.
