A rainy day post…Catching up on Product Reviews

Weekend blogging is very hard for this busy mom since the weather has been gorgeous in New England. Now that I have a rainy Sunday I am going to play catch up. I actually have the house to myself this morning because the girls have their first race of 2009. I wish I could be there to cheer them on but I have a baby shower in Massachusetts today for my cousin. So my husband left armed with the camera to capture every moment.

Since the weather has been nicer, and by that I mean in the 50’s and 60’s and without snow. the girls love “summer time” treats. One of the things they love is slushes or ice cold drinks. In this economy we are trying to save money in any way we can. I found a great product that can make great slush drinks without having to go to the local corner store. It is called Slush-It and here are the details.

Slush-It! takes advantage of a unique natural phenomenon called supercooling.  The Cool Capsule controls the cooling rate of the beverage to allow supercooling to occur predictably and the Slush-It! Labels are printed with a special ink that changes color so you know when the optimum supercooling temperature has been reached.  For more detailed information about how Slush-It! works click here.

Here is The Seals Slush-It Adventure recap:

Here is the the Vitamin water after being in the chamber. We allowed it to do its magic for about 4 hours. I think I accidently erased the pics of the actually chamber.

We really enjoy this product. We have used it with soda as well. It makes great root beer floats. The only problem now is that we have two chamber and four family members. I am ordering more now as we speak so each person can do their own unique slush.

Some other great facts about this product:

Slush-It! Has Several Unique Features & Benefits:

• Special reusable temperature sensitive stickers eliminate guesswork by changing color to indicate exactly when beverage is ready!
• Special reusable "Cool Capsule" controls cooling and prevents premature ice formation in beverage
• Ice crystals form within the beverage itself upon opening so there is no watering down like regular ice!
• Does not have to be stored in your freezer between uses!
• Does not required you to crank or stir anything, saving all the hassle & preventing your drink from going flat!
• Works with most cans and bottles up to 24 oz. (small Cool Capsule fits most beverages up to 12 oz. except glass bottles)

If you are interested in this great product be sure to visit the Slush-It store as they are having a great sale. You can get yourself a chamber for as low as $5.99 for the small or $7.99 for the large until April 30th. 

I will have more weekend catch up later on today as I have to get to the baby shower.
