EcoFresh Carpet Cleaning - Utah Review and Giveaway

Don't let the Chem Clean name on the van confuse you, 
whats is currently known as Chem Clean has been undergoing New
Management and a name change to bring you Eco Fresh Carpet Care
Jason and Chris showed up to to tackle our project and teach 
me more about their company. It seems there is a misconception 
due to their current name and many customers don't really understand
the type of services they actually provide. 

Many carpet cleaners use chemicals in their cleaning process that will 
leave behind a sticky residue and fill in those scratches created in your 
carpet fibers that can attract dirt and bacteria making it seem as if your
carpet cleaning wasn't even worth the money and having to re-clean more
often than you would like. 

EcoFresh Carpet Cleaning Utah only uses natural cleaning products
to effectively break up any dirt, stains and blemishes you may find 
in your carpets. As the natural cleaning is done the carpets are also 
thoroughly rinsed to ensure they are not leaving that unwanted 
residue on your carpet surface. 

 Cleaning Techs Jason and Chris were absolutely 
amazing. I was extremely impressed with how knowledgeable
they both were about every step, every detail of their job. Its
nice to know that the employees coming to care for your carpets
are educated in what they are doing. In the past many cleaners
I have known have rushed in, rushed through their job and ran 
out the door just as quick. Jason and Chris made sure to 
answer any question, provide wonderful friendly customer service
and give us suggestions or in sites on keeping the quality and
cleanliness of our carpet. No overwhelming sales pitches or 
pressure to add on additional services and unneeded care. 
You can tell they really enjoy their job and took all needed
steps to provide a great carpet cleaning experience. Corner
shields were placed in door frames and walls to ensure no harm
to your wall surface, shoe covers were used by the employees and
offered to us in case we needed to walk on the carpet after 
the cleaning when it was still in the process of drying. A walk
through of the house with both techs before they started gave them 
an idea of any problem areas or concerns we may have had to 
be sure the best possible cleaning was met. If needed, they are also
wiling to move couches and small furniture to provide 
the best coverage and help you feel comfortable that you got
all you paid for and more. 

The vacuum hoses/tubes used were clean and
 left behind no dirt and particles on the floors not being cleaned.
A pre-spray solution with hot, soft water was lightly misted onto the
carpet in each room to loosen whatever grease or oils may be present. 
Many rooms in the house have different carpets and you always
wonder how dirty they actually are when from an eyes view 
some may not look so bad. I couldn't believe the difference in a 
few of the rooms. For example the master bedroom seemed to have
a basic traffic ware down with a few minimal spots but once Jason 
cleaned part of the room the cleanliness was unreal!

 During the Master Bedroom cleaning:
    




 The pictures don't do it justice, but you can still see here the clean
carpet areas to the dirty. Jason even cleaned a patch in the middle as you
can see below to try to show the difference a little better in the picture.
Its almost like the carpet went a whole tint lighter..cleaner and
leaves me feeling more comfortable letting my little ones run and
crawl all over it. Its reassuring to know their process gets deep down
to pull the dirt and grim from deep inside your carpet. 
We are not the previous owners of the home, so we do not know what 
kinds of spills, animals or issues have been on these carpets over 
the years. To give us a peace of mind the techs also treated the
carpets with a sterilizing solution to help kill those unwanted germs
from diaper blow outs, animal accidents and so on. 
Concerned spots or areas were treated if needed and they did a
fabulous job at removing unsightly spots. 

Before:                                                      After: 


 At the final cleaning of each area high-velocity fans were placed in 
the center of each room to help speed up the drying times which 
only take 4-6 hours anyway. Its amazing the difference of the smell
of freshly cleaned carpets! 
If you are in search of a company who provides great residue-free
cleaning, fabulous customer service, has the skills and knowledge to

Just Jewelry Review and Giveaway


Just Jewelry logo

 Today I want to introduce you to a neat faith
 based company who's motto is
"Helping Women Feel Good on the Inside and Out!"  

Everything on their website is under $40 and shipping
 is always free!  You can look great and feel happy you
 didn't break the bank to do so! 

They have a great variety to go along with all the 
changing fashion styles and modern accessories. 

From the samples I received, they seem to be made well 
and for the most part durable. My little guy constantly 
wants to hold and touch my jewelry and with the 
Coin Collector Necklace I was sent for the review
 its not been any different. 
 He loves to rub his fingers across the textured 
disks and feel the little round beads in between. 
I have gotten three great compliments on it from parents
of my kids friends. Not very often do I get comments on 
my jewelry so this piece must stand out a little more 
and catch your eye when you see someone wearing it. 

The second necklace I received was this fun and 
cheery Hot Wired wire bead necklace. The
perfect addition to a plain and simple fitted tee or 
a decked out black dress for a night on the town. 
I love that you can also purchase matching 
earrings and a bracelet to complete it as set.

Its a fun piece thats sure to catch attention and go 
with a variety of clothing choices as well. I love
that its one piece but has a layered feel to it as each 
 strand falls one beneath another and each bead 
stays secure and in place for that completed and 
dazzling style. 

(PHOTO to COME.. uploading issues at the moment.)

First Act Review and Shout Out!

First Act - Boston, MA

Santa brought my 11 yr. old daughter a First Act 54-Key USB Keyboard for 
Christmas in 2011. She has been teaching herself to play and has loved 
every minute of it! She is so smart and amazes me with how much she
has learned on her own. We got her in basic piano lessons once
a week (or when we are not sick and she can make it!) and its
been great to help her with little questions as she moves along. 

Almost to the day it quit working..lights will go on, but no sound. 
I was so sad, and so was she. She takes such good care of it and
none of the other kids are allowed to touch it so it was not anything
anyone had done to make it quit. Its played 2-6 times a week for
practice and fun but was still shocked it would just quit working.

I wrote an e-mail to the company and sent proof of Santas 
purchase from Kohls and within two days they had another one
shipped out as a replacement..no questions asked! 

I love companies who will stand behind their product and make 
things right without any fuss! So just want to give a shout out to 
them and thank them for their awesome customer service and 
how they stand behind their products! 


You can Like them on
and visit their website HERE! 

**I was not asked to share, just thrilled by such an awesome company I wanted to share! Thanks!

SUPERPRETZEL PretzelDogs Review

SUPERPRETZEL
My family loves pretzels and they love hot dogs so naturally I 
assumed they would go crazy over something as fantastic as
PretzelDogs! Boy, was I right! 
These mini pigs in a blanket style snack foods are bite-sized 
hot dogs bundled up in a delicious and toasty pretzel crust, 
my kids got extremely exited over them just seeing the package!

 America's #1 selling soft pretzel, SUPERPRETZEL has brought
a fun new appetizer to snack time! PretzelDogs are available 
in two varieties: Original and Cheddar Cheese and made with 
top quality beef. My kids love them for an after school treat or
as a lunch option when we are being lazy on a non exciting
Saturday.  So easy to throw together a quick treat because they
are microwavable and ready in super quick time!  My 
husband also took a bunch to work for one of his breaks
and really enjoyed them. Delicious plain or dipped in your
favorite dipping sauce. My kids love dipping them in ketchup,
 BBQ and a homemade mustard whip. The pretzel outing gives it
a great welcomed change from the usual breading and
added a great flavor for sure! Fun for kids party snacks
and BBQ summer gatherings. They were a hit here for sure!

GoBites Review

GoBites

Heathy, perfect size and great for on the go. I tend to be more of a
snacker when I am dieting or trying to watch what I am eating and that
is not always a good thing, but if I have healthy snacks I enjoy on 
hand at all times I can more easily keep my health goals in check.

 We received a fun variety sample of GoBites to
 try out and share with our readers.
Although they were all not my favorites, I definitely found some
I loved! As you have read in the past I am kinda picky with fruits like
 this that are not fresh but I am always one to try new kinds and give
 it a chance. The fruit in GoBites are still soft and chewy and do hold
 a lot of flavor, just were not my favorite overall. One thing that is great
about their site is you can choose the ones you love and leave the
 others for someone else to enjoy and customize your
order to your liking.
 With our tasteful subscription program, you can
 receive a pack of 14 delicious GoBites delivered right
 to your door. No shipping charge. No commitment-ever. 
Just tell us what you want and how often you want it, 
and we’ll take care of the rest.  

 Customize your favorite flavors that you know your taste
 buds will love. The ones I really enjoyed are the more nut/rice cracker
 varieties... My favorite was the Forbidden Rice Mix, I could have snacked 
on it all day and the Umami Crunch. I also liked the Chocolate Monkey with 
its dark chocolate chips and raw cashews. 
The Essential Energy pack was really good to, but not a big fan 
of the dates. Definitely a large variety of tastes in every pack
 that are a nice change of flavor.

 I love that the portion control is already done for you and you
won't need to worry about over eating. They are foods that can
help you maintain healthy blood sugar levels and healthier
 cholesterol levels. No sugar, oil or preservatives are added and
you can taste and tell is all natural.

Each GoBite is a portion controlled “mini-meal” made with the finest, nutrient-rich ingredients from around the world. Everything we use is 100% natural and most of our ingredients are USDA Certified Organic. Our Nutrition Team takes the guesswork out of snacking by offering a smart lineup of GoBites that are just the right amount, the right mix and the right flavor to satisfy your health goals and your palate.
