Amazing Science Experiments With Kids

My favorite is the GOOP!! 

These ladies love to help their kids make science experiments. They make a lava lamp, soap experiment, and more. By using simple household items, they amaze their kids with what they can do. They make a lava lamp by taking an empty, plastic container, and filling it with one to two inches of water.

By funneling in vegetable oil almost to the top, they're almost finished. They squeeze in a few drops of food coloring, and finish by dropping in a little bit of Alka-Seltzer. When they shake it up, it looks perfect. They also make an amazing goop using only 1 1/2 cups of corn starch, 1/2 a cup of water, and a few drops of food coloring. By mixing the ingredients together with a spoon, it creates a wild slime-like goop that changes each time you touch it.

Their last experiment is the easiest, and most colorful. They pour whole milk into a glass baking dish until it is filled about two inches high, adding in a few different colors of food coloring. When they dip a q-tip into dish soap and poke the food coloring with the q-tip, and amazing tie-dye design forms. The kids love it!

My Product Review: Nasoya Pasta Zero

I was asked to swap out my favorite traditional pasta dish and replace it with Nasoya Pasta Zero and review my experience!

So here it is, The Good, The Bad, AND The UGLY!!


First to purchase at a store, I would need to drive nearly 20 miles to the nearest grocer that carries this product. Honestly, they would have to be really, REALLY good.  Not many things are. As with most Vegan "health foods", they are a little more expensive. A single package runs around $2.50 and serves about 2 people. 


The product that was sent to be reviewed by me arrived through the US Postal Service, which I found unusual because I thought this needed to be kept refrigerated. I have seen coupons that stated that they they be kept in the dairy or meat section. 


The noodles are kept in a bag with liquid, which was much different from the regular pasta that I purchase. I suppose this is to keep them moist, as they are already "cooked".


I instantly noticed a fishy smell, which to be honest almost made me throw it away. I learned that the smell is from Konjac plant root, which is used to make the noodles. 


As directed, I thoroughly rinsed off and placed the noodles in a skillet to dry them (5-10 minutes). This process was much faster than waiting for the water to boil and cook the noodles. 


I made Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce. I cooked as directed on the package and added meat and sauce. We were very disappointed as the noodles were slimy and gagged you as you ate. The noodles were nothing like Spaghetti noodles.  Perhaps this wold be better as a a stir fry, but I did not try that.  (We ordered pizza instead.)  


My overall opinion?  Although healthy, Nasoya Pasta Zero Shirataki Noodles are not something that my family will be purchasing in the future. 



I received Nasoya Pasta Zero Shirataki Noodles free to review and test. All opinions stated are my own honest opinion.

Carefree® Acti-fresh® Daily Liners Review


I was asked to test the Carefree® Acti-fresh® Daily Liners

I used them for a week and I have to say they were comfortable.  I couldn't even tell that I was wearing a liner! They are very thin, but still hold the moisture away from your skin, leaving you feeling fresh and clean! I will be purchasing some more in the near future! 




I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.  I  tested the Carefree® Acti-fresh® Liners for testing purposes, but all opinions are my own.
