I enjoy having a glass of wine occasionally with my supper or to unwind in the evening. I however do not need an entire bottle of wine. Even if you have a glass again the next day the flavor has been changed. Wouldn’t a machine that could preserve your wine so that you could have just a glass whenever you felt like it be absolutely amazing? Well it’s no longer just a thought, it truly is possible with the Genesis Champagne and Wine Preserver. Not only that, but if you are still looking for that perfect item for the wonderful wine loving dad in your life this would be a great fit. I know several men that would love having this great machine in their lives.

About Genesis:

Napa Technology has been revolutionizing the way wine is served since 2007, with its introduction of the WineStation. The WineStation is the preferred brand of automated preservation and dispensing systems for thousands of restaurants, hotels, wine bars, and retail outlets worldwide.

At the core of the WineStation innovation lives the Clean-Pour Dispensing head technology. This patented technology brings the most effective, accurate, and contamination free wine delivery system found anywhere in the world.

With Genesis, this same commercial grade, reliable technology is available for the serious to novice wine lover – at home.

About Genesis Elite:

The Genesis Elite is the only single bottle preservation and dispensing system designed for both sparkling and still wine. Genesis Elite allows you to uncork, preserve, and pour your finest wine by the glass without wasting a drop. There is truly no limit to the number of bottles – sparkling or still – you can indulge in at a time.

What’s Included:

One Genesis Preservation and Wine Dispensing Unit
Two WineGas Argon Capsules (preserves up to 120 glasses)
One IntelliCork Wine Dispensing Head
One IntelliCork Sparkling Wine Preservation Head
One Pack Pick-Up Tubes
One Pack Assorted Gaskets
One Sizing Tool
One User Manual

Genesis allows you to save a bottle of still wine for up to 2 months and a bottle of champagne for up to 5 days.

The User manual that is included is incredibly easy to follow. It has a picture step by step guide to ensure that you know how to get things going the right way.

My Thoughts:

Wow! I was so incredibly impressed with how wonderful this product truly is. As I stated before I do enjoy having a glass of wine with dinner or when friends stop by and visit or unwind. However I hated opening a bottle of wine to only have 1 or 2 glasses and then having the bottle ruined. I hate to waste the wine, but I truly didn’t want or need the entire bottle. I love now that I can quickly and easily preserve the bottle of wine so that it will be good in the future. I had the product for about 2 weeks and I opened a bottle of wine the first day and had another glass from it again today and it is still just as wonderful as it was the first time that I opened it.

I was curious as to if the Argon Gas would change the taste or if my wine would truly be preserved and let me tell you that the wine was wonderful no worries about the gas.

I occasionally will change the type of wine that I am wanting with whatever we are having for supper and having the different IntelliCork dispensing heads makes it possible to have multiple bottles of wine open at the same time. I am definitely interested in possibly purchasing more IntelliCork dispensing heads so that I can have multiples open at a time.

Purchase:
If you are interested in purchasing a Genesis Champagne and Wine Preserver for yourself or for that great dad in your life for Father’s Day, head on over to their website and get one ordered right away.

Geleeo- The Must Have Stroller Accessory

June 2, 2015 by Danielle 1 Comment

Disclosure: The Geleeo Self-Cooling Pad was provided for me in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

We seem to be on walks and in the stroller the majority of the time. Even if it isn’t all that hot outside my girls are always complaining that they are hot if we are out and about too often. The Geleeo Pads have truly improved our outings.

About Geleeo:

Geleeo is the only self-cooling stroller liner ever invented. With proprietary hydrogel inside, Geleeo manages to stay a few degrees cooler than its ambient environment without prior refrigeration. It is made to overcome the refrigeration hassle and provide a solution that was impossible to accomplish before.

This great product was invented and designed by a parent to prevent children from becoming overheated in their strollers. It manages to deliver a gentle soothing sensation and to discharge body heat for a long lasting time without any external assistance or power consumption.

Geleeo provides an effective outdoor freshening method without fan, ice, or other traditional techniques. One pad can be used to cool off bodies on a daily basis.

My Thoughts:

The Geleeo Pad is one of the most amazing creations I have ever used. I absolutely love this amazing pad. We live in the midwest and seem to always be hot when we are outside for very long between high temperatures and high humidity. I have a double stroller, but at this time I only have one Geleeo, so the girls have gotten good about taking turns and sharing so they both have a chance to cool off. I know that I will be purchasing an additional one so that they can both have one before this summer gets even warmer than it already is.This product truly works absolutely as amazingly as it says that it does. The girls truly stay much cooler and relaxed when we are out and about doing whatever activities that day holds. I wish that I would have had this when my girls were younger and little babies that didn’t get in and out of the stroller as often. I would use ice packs, baby wipes, and many other creative strategies to keep them cooled off. I’m not sure how I survived without it, but let me tell you that I won’t let anyone else that I know that has kids survive without them.

Purchase:

If you are interested in purchasing a Geleeo pad for yourself, you can head on over to the website and find a store near you to purchase it from.

AirFree Air Purifier- Perfect for people with Allergies

May 29, 2015 by Danielle 1 Comment

Disclosure: The Airfree Air Purifier was provided for me in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

Ugh…Allergies are real serious problem for this midwestern family. Let me tell you that with the weather the way that it was this past year I think that I seriously suffered with allergies from October until recently. I haven’t had the Airfree Air Purifier for a terribly long time but I have been completely impressed with it since the moment that I plugged it in.

About Airfree:

Airfree’s technology was developed through the initiative and creativity of a father in an effort to find an effective way to ease his son’s allergy attacks. The Portuguese businessman scoured the market trying to find an air purifier that would help his son’s respiratory issues but found nothing that suited their needs. He then began to develop Airfree. In 2004, after a few adjustments from the beginning had been made to improve electronics and capacity, Airfree was born, marked by the launch of its P air purifier range, attractive and modern in design. A groundbreaking brand was on its way to conquering world markets.

About Airfree Air Purifiers:

The Airfree air purifiers are effective against bacteria, viruses, mildew, mold, dust mite allergens, pet allergens, pollen, and tobacco odors. SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, and dozens of other international laboratories have proved the effectiveness of Airfree air purifiers at reducing the amount of microorganisms and harmful substances from the air. The TSS technology used is an exclusive and patented technology used in Airfree’s air purifiers, is established in over 50 countries worldwide, and is completely silent. With no fans or turbines, a good night’s sleep is guaranteed.

Airfree’s exclusive technology works by eliminating microorganisms and allergens, destroying them in a fraction of a second. Depending on the model, between 4,000 and 6,000 gallons of air pass through the Airfree device every hour, treating all the air in the room in a very short space of time. This entire process is completely silent and requires no maintenance, not even the occasional replacement parts. All you have to do is switch the device on and leave it to get on with the job.

About Air Purifier Onix 3000:

This Air Purifier is recommended for rooms up to 650 square feet. This great purifier reduces microbiological contamination in the air naturally, without using chemicals or filters. Recommended by doctors and with no contraindications, they can be used anywhere. It only weights 3.3 pounds and is easy to move from room to room if necessary.

My Thoughts:

I was incredibly impressed with this amazing Air Purifier. I have had horrible allergies this year, which is not something that I typically have. I hate allergies and all the yuckiness that goes along with them. My girls and husband have seemed to have bad allergies this year as well. We have had this Air Purifier in my house for about 2 weeks and we have already noticed a tremendous improvement with our allergies. I know that I will be recommending this amazing product to everyone around me that suffers with allergy problems as well. I am so impressed that it works so well in our big family room which we spend most of our time in. I also really like that you don’t have to change the filter. The fact that it burns the allergens away is what truly makes this product work well and not be a forever ending expense.

Purchase:

If you are interested in purchasing one or two for your house (I know that I am going to need an additional one) head on over to the website to see the different Air Purifiers that they have to offer and pick the one that is right for your home.
