Healthy Summer Snack with Lebice Popsicle Molds

If you make a purchase off any link on this page Primitive Gypsy will make a small commission. I received these free for my honest and unbiased review.

We have all had those summer days...You know the ones. Mom I'm hot, mom I'm hungry, mom there is nothing good to eat. I am not a fan of processed anything and I don't buy it. But, I also don't feel well most days and am not about to make my kid's fruit pizza without passing out and not functioning the rest of the day. There has to be a better snack. My kids (and I) love ice cream and popsicles but so much of it is so bad for you. What can you do? I remember when I was a kid filling up some ice cube trays with Koolaid and toothpicks. Those lasted about two seconds and tasted disgusting.

My solution fruit and juice popsicles. If you're really feeling creative you can do fruit and yogurt bars. These popsicle molds from Lebice were perfect for curing my kid's cravings. They love fruit but after a month of summer are tired of just a plain ol' apple for a snack. We added some yogurt and caramel here and there but that's always a huge mess with two toddlers and not so easy to clean up. So after I received these, I tried some fun recipes for a refreshing summer treat for me, and for the kids. Make sure when you start that your molds are firmly attached to the tray. Let your kids help to also turn this into a fun project. They can snack while they wait.

Apple Juice Bars-

Apple Juice (Organic or hand pressed if possible. If not water it down.)

Chopped up apples or apple slivers.

Place apples in the bottom of your popsicle mold. Add the juice almost all the way to the top, leave just a smidge of room for the handle.

Freeze


Yogurt & Fruit Bars-

Vanilla Yogurt

Fruit slivers (we like strawberry and kiwi)

Pour a small amount of yogurt, then fruit, then repeat. Again fill almost to the top.

Freeze


Bananarama Fruit Smoothie Bars-

Add juice to your blender (We like cranberry)

Add bananas and pitted cherries to your blender. Blend until liquid.

Again fill almost to the top of your mold.

Freeze


Once frozen you have an awesome tasting, cold, healthy treat. Your little kids will be fascinated, and you will have provided a great homeschooling experiment. Your older children will appreciate having a cold snack on a hot day. The popsicle molds have a tray on the bottom to keep your smaller kids from losing all their popsicles, but the beauty of this snack is, not much sugar or sticky liquid so even if they do spill your not having to give them a bath and run around washing them before they put sticky hands all over your house.

The set is inexpensive and comes with a silicone funnel which was really helpful. It also comes with a cleaning brush, although it could use a slightly longer handle. This is one of the best sets I have received and is much nicer than those silicone sets, or using your ice cube tray. They also clean really easy. Do you want a set of your own?

~ Review ~ Sheepskin Car Seat Cover

If you click on any link on this page Primitive Gypsy will receive a small commission. I did receive this free for my honest and unbiased review.


This is a very nice seat cover. I only received one for my GMC Jimmy. I didn't need anything fancy but I love sheepskin seat covers. This one is pretty easy to get on and feels so soft to the touch. I am kind of disappointed that the back is a velvet like material and not all sheepskin but that's ok. I am just so glad the front is, and this makes them much more affordable than a full sheepskin cover. I would love to get a full set, but this at least covers my one totally ruined leather seat. I would buy this again and for the rest of my vehicle's seats.

You can get your own on Amazon, in other sizes and colors. Just click HERE to see all they offer.

Gather Round all your Drinking Buddies with an American Golden Oak Wood Barrel

I received this item at a discount for my honest and unbiased review. If you make a purchase from any of the links on this page, Primitive Gypsy will make a small commission.

Since I have installed a bar in my basement, I have been wanting an elegant storage piece for my aged scotch. When I got this oak barrel I knew that I had found more than I had hoped for. Just from looking at it, I could see the level of craftsmanship and pride that went into its making. And with its great little stand, I know the whole thing is going to be a conversation piece for years to come.

Upon opening the cork, I could smell the wonderful char from the inside. The coopers that made this really put some love into their work. I love how airtight this barrel is, even after soaking it for two days. This will certainly keep my scotch from turning for a good long while. The spout is perfect and doesn't even need waxing before you can use it. It really does class up my little bar.

If I could give this more than five stars, I would! This really has my friends and family talking. If you have a particular favorite liquor that needs great storage with an interesting appeal, I highly recommend this cask. I am so enamored by this barrel, that I'm buying one for my father in law for his private blend of whiskey. And of course, I'll be getting more for my own stocks.

Get Healthy with Ultra Pure Omega 3 Fish Oil Capsules

I received this at no cost for my honest and unbiased review.

I am always on the lookout for new and better supplements to try. I have so many medical problems I couldn't even list them all. So while I do have to be careful many of the basics work just fine. I received the Ultra Pure Omega 3 Fish Oil Capsules a couple weeks ago. Your daily amount is 2250mg and three soft gel capsules. That is always so helpful for me as I have a very hard time swallowing pills, especially anything large or with a hard coating. These are a soft gel so they just slide right down. No choking or gagging necessary. The bottle comes with enough of a supply for a full forty days which is really unusual and gives you some time to re-order when a month is up.

Taking these Omega 3 Fish Oil Capsules was easy. They go down fast and don't taste bad. They are fish oil capsules though so you will have some aftertaste, just nothing up front. The best way to take these is with meals and that will also eliminate that crazy taste. This Fish Oil is chalk full of DHA and both are so good for you. They have so many healthy properties. It's wonderful for your brain, can help increase good cholesterol and not that bad kind. Also, can help you with dry eyes and maintaining your eyesight. There is a reason grandma takes Omega 3, and doesn't she always know better than we do?

I have certainly noticed a change in how I feel following using these. I have a bit more pep to my step and less fatigue. They seem to work well and I will certainly be getting them for many more months.

Now don't think taking these Ultra Pure Omega 3 Fish Oil Capsules will be a cure all. It's still very important to eat healthy and exercise. Some great tips to use with your Fish Oil are to eat your nuts and greens. Just add a small handful of unsalted nuts a day to your diet and a portion of leafy green veggies daily. Don't forget those eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated. Following a healthy diet, and drinking your water, follow up with some daily exercise. It doesn't need to be much. Start off your morning with some light stretching and yoga, take an evening walk with your partner and get talking. Communication is also a key to being healthy. Don't forget about it!

~ Review ~ Wolfyok Blue Sleeping Bag

If you click on the links in the post and make any purchase Primitive Gypsy will receive a small commission. I did receive this item free for an honest and unbiased review.

This is the coolest sleeping bag. It's for sure the most compact sleeping bag I have ever seen and I have owned a lot of sleeping bags over the years. My family goes camping all year long, no matter the weather. This bag is perfect for sleeping outside in the summer because it's meant for warm weather camping. It would be an ideal companion in your camper or motorhome.

This sleeping bag is very thin and rolls up so small. It's a great one if your hiking and to have around just in case. It weighs nothing and can be attached to your belt, backpack, etc. This bag is perfect for kids, perfect for the hammock, mat, cot, or mattress camping. It's thin shell and very little padding makes it easy to carry and store, but also makes it not ideal for ground camping. Unless maybe it's a young child. One thing I do love is that unlike the mummy style of sleeping bag you can unzip this one fully and use it as a cover for two when it's hot, or just breezy. It could also be used as a picnic style blanket, shaken out and quickly folded back up.

I also love that because it is so thin and lightweight it can be machine washed. Very few sleeping bags can live up to that without taking them to the cleaners or a large capacity washer. It would be awesome for a bicyclist, hiker, or quick camping trip! You can get one of your own on Amazon HERE. By the way, did I mention the wonderful low price?

~ Review ~ iPhone 6s Battery Pack and Portable Charger. Great Deal!

~ If you click any of the links below and make a purchase Primitive Gypsy will receive a small commission. I did receive this item at no cost for my honest and unbiased review.~

My son has an iPhone 6s and so I thought this could certainly be something he can use. These seem to constantly have to be charged and the battery never lasts quite long enough. You get in the car and a couple hours later you're seeing the warning for a low battery. Even if you're not using every app known to man. This handy dandy Battery pack and charger should add around 10 extra hours to your iPhone. My son isn't a huge talker or app playing kind of kid so he never needs this much. But, it does keep his phone on all day. No need to worry, because we can always get ahold of him.

This set includes a removable 2,900mah battery that can be swapped out on the fly or removed when not in use. It also comes with a hard snap on case. My son had no trouble getting the battery or the cover on at all. It just snapped right into place, and he was still able to use all his buttons, ports, etc. He had no complaints about that. It does make the phone bulkier and heavy, but unless you constantly leave this one (which you should not) it won't be an issue. It's something I would keep in the glove box of your car, trunk, etc. Or if you're one of those women that have a large purse, no problem! Included is a nice little bag to store it in, when not in use. It also has an LED charging indicator on the side of the phone, so you will know when it needs a new charge. It goes from four lights down to one. It can charge your phone in around 30 minutes, give or take.

It was a bit harder to get off, and he said that to him is the only downfall at all of this battery pack and charger. It does leave a small lip, which we thought was odd at first, but trust me you're glad it's there. I asked would it make him stop using it and was answered with a resounding oh heck no, this thing is awesome. So now he uses it to play games in the car, and on trips. We drive back and forth across the country often, so this is a perfect travel companion. The price, in my opinion, is a great deal and comparable to much less efficient chargers that are not as portable.
