Over the course of two years, Sparkling Ice conducted extensive marketing research and sensory testing with over 8000 consumers. This consumer driven project resulted in Sparkling Ice updating their flavorful, zero sugar sparkling water to now include colors from natural sources. With this new formulation, Sparkling Ice is proud to be one of the first brands to successfully transition to natural colors while maintaining the vibrant look and long shelf life that Sparkling Ice is known for.

I had the opportunity to review their products and I love the design and the flavor of Sparkling Ice! I’m all for the natural colors and flavors!

In conjunction with the campaign, Sparkling Ice launched a new “Sparkling IceMaker” voice skill with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa to provide consumers with Sparkling Ice cocktail and mocktail recipes to make in the comfort of their own home. Consumers can quickly engage with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant by sharing which Sparkling Ice flavor and spirit they currently have on hand to access a variety of different recipes on behalf of the brand. Now, how cool is that?!

Sparkling Ice’s new formula is now available in retail locations nationwide. For more information about Sparkling Ice products and flavors, please visit www.SparklingIce.com,www.facebook.com/SparklingIce and www.instagram.com/sparklingice.

Spring is almost here! Looking for some great stylish and comfy clothes for the boys and men in your life? Introducing Brooklyn Cloth! Say what?! You haven’t heard of them? They have the coolest clothes!
Brooklyn Cloth is a fashion-forward line in the “fast fashion” junior’s market, co-founded by Daron Jacob while working with Urban Outfitters and Tilly’s. Jacob noticed many of the men’s products in the mass market were too pricy, so he created fresh designs for a low price point with Brooklyn Cloth. Created to fit the laid-back, yet distinguished individual that roams the boroughs of New York City, the design team mirrors this demographic and lifestyle. The energy and attitude of bustling streets and the vibes of the East Coast are woven into the fabrics of the garments, giving off an authentic, pure aesthetic of this unique lifestyle. The makers design their own fabrics, beginning from the yarn level— focusing on items such as Joggers, Shorts and tees using Space Dye and Snow. Jacob notes, “We are focused on the Gen Z consumer. Someone who is not defined as one fashion or style but likes to change up their looks depending on their mood.”  

They have really cool sweats that are really great quality! Their sweatshirts are a hit with my teenage son and he won’t just wear anything I buy for him! He has to usually pick out what he likes or he won’t wear it! But, he really likes the sweats and sweatshirts from this brand!

Brooklyn Cloth also has some pretty cool T-shirts! They are so cool that I love this NASA one!

Planning to spend Valentine’s Day with your girlfriends or maybe at home with the family? Meet Edoughble!

One of my favorite memories as a girl was baking chocolate chip cookies and eating the cookie dough so when I heard about Edoughble the edible cookie dough I was really excited to try it!
Handcrafted by founder, mother, and trained pastry chef Rana Lustyan, Edoughble uses no egg, no chemical leaveners, and heat-treated flour to ensure their product is 100% safe. Using her culinary education from Le Cordon Bleu, Rana has created a huge range of flavors (19 in total!) that brings anyone and everyone back to those carefree times in the kitchen as a kid. With options like Pumpkin Spice Cobbler, Cold Brew Espresso Chip, Birthday Bash, and classic like their Chocolate Chip Off The Ol’ Block: how could you go wrong?

I just love these flavors and they were a hit with my family too! My favorite is Dough Schmo because it tastes just like the chocolate chip cookie dough! It doesn’t come with the chocolate chips added in but what is really cool is that it comes with goodies to mix in such as mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, mini marshmallows and more!

I am so impressed with these delicious cookie dough flavors!

This next one is a little different but will make an unique Valentine’s Day Gift!
GIANTmicrobes! Give someone special a realistic looking plush heart!

or maybe a heart of gold!
