BuzzBallz: Ready To Drink, Women-Owned Cocktail Orbs!

I don’t often branch out from my usual rum & cola, so I was excited to take on an opportunity from Smiley 360 to try something new and review BuzzBallz ready-to-drink, pre-mixed cocktails! Even more so because I’d be supporting a women-owned business in the process. They all come in at 15% ABV, with premium spirits and real fruit juice, and there are a ton of different flavors so you’re almost guaranteed to find a favorite. In addition to being super-portable, the type 1 PET plastic containers can be recycled through most curbside pickup programs. Furthermore, these also include ENSO RESTORE enzymes that help to decompose the containers more quickly in case they do find their way to a landfill.

The first flavor I tried out was Watermelon Smash, which I enjoyed outside by the fire on a cool night. I instantly tasted a warming sensation down my throat from the high alcohol content, with a taste that reminded me a bit of cough syrup, or kind of like a jolly rancher dissolved into a vat-full of alcohol! It was a little strong for me, but it’ll definitely get you buzzed in a hurry.

On a hot Sunday afternoon we tried out two more flavors, but this time poured over ice, which really improved them in my opinion. My boyfriend and I agreed that the Tequila ’Rita was our favorite, with its cirtrus-y, sour margarita flavor. The second we tried that day, Strawberry Rum Job, was a little too sugary-sweet for my taste, but not bad overall. Later on I gave the Pineapple Passion a try, and it was quite good, but made even better by mixing in some Berry Gatorade Zero.

I have three flavors left that I want to try; Peachballz, Tea-Licious, and Ruby Red Grapefruit, the first of which is waiting in my fridge right now. BuzzBallz’ reward program is also worth mentioning; the Buzz Club is a place where you can earn chances to win some fun prizes. I spun the wheel and got enough reward points on their Spin-to-Win promotion in addition to my receipt upload for a t-shirt and an adorable little floating flamingo drink holder!

Overall, I really like these tasty little cocktails and am looking forward to trying a few more, especially since they’re so versatile with all the different ways you can enjoy them. I highly recommend giving these little orbs a try, but please enjoy responsibly!

With so many flavors to choose from, why not have a ball today! Track them down with their Store Locator.

Zand Naturals Immune Fast / Sweet Elderberry

Zand Naturals Immune Fast in Sweet Elderberry makes me feel ready to tackle the day head-on, knowing I’m doing something good for my body. Especially during these difficult times when it's more than important to stay on top of your health game.

I also feel good sharing these with my boyfriend so when he does have to leave the house for work or groceries, I know that his immune health is protected.

These sweet, yet slightly tart chewables are easy to either take on the go or just have on hand around the house. They work quickly to amplify immune cell activity within 2 hours and can even be taken up 3x a day.

Furthermore, Immune Fast is made with a full clinical dose of 500mg EpiCor, the world’s leading whole food fermentate ingredient.

Immune Fast also contains nature-derived ingredients like antioxidant-enriched Elderberry that not only helps with the immune system, but your respiratory system too. To top it all off, it also has 1000mg of Vitamin C and 11mg of Zinc so you know you so you know you are doing good for your body.

Batiste Waterless Cleansing Foam / Cleanse + Hydrate with Cactus Water

Non-wash day? No worries! Batiste Waterless Cleansing Foam makes it easy to refresh your locks! The Cleanse + Hydrate with Cactus Water is just one of four new cleansing foams. This particular version contains Optunia Ficus-Indica Flower Extract, also known as the Prickly Pear Cactus, which is packed with antioxidants, polyunsaturated fatty acids and amino acids that all help to replenish and moisturize hair.

Batiste is known for their beloved Dry Shampoo, so I was super excited to try this, however, I couldn’t get it to work for me in the expected way. My roots are extremely oily, even with second day hair, so it takes a good dry shampoo to help to combat it. Sometimes I can get away with a good dry shampoo, but this cleansing foam sounded like a miracle treatment for my overly oily hair.

I did exactly as advised: shake well, dispense onto hand, massage into dry hair until absorbed and wait 60 seconds to dry. It instantly weighed down my roots and made them more oily, with worse texture and appearance. It took my just slightly oily roots to over-the-top wet and dirty looking. I experienced no “cleansing” action and was thoroughly disappointed in that regard.

On the other hand, I was able to repurpose it to refresh the mid to end portion of my blonde hair. This section is typically dry and frizzy the next day, so I was able to work in Waterless Cleansing Foam to help nourish and re-hydrate. I personally like to dispense the foam and work from the middle down. I also used a wetted brush to work through and get instant revival, but this step could be skipped if need be.

I will add that this cleansing foam smells amazing, which is another benefit to adding to second day hair (just not my roots)! This product is free of phthalates, sulfates, dyes and parabens. I also saw no white cast on my dark roots.

So unfortunately, I couldn’t get this to work the way it was intended and will stick to using dry shampoo. My hair type is medium thickness with natural dark roots with dyed blonde for the majority of my hair. I think my troubles could be because the ingredients add shine, which just doesn’t work with my hair type, but it just may work if your hair is not so oily.

Kaboom Shower, Tub & Tile Cleaner

Kaboom with Oxi Clean works hard to clean tough stains throughout your home so you don’t have to. It uses tiny micro-bubbles that infiltrate tough stains and removes them with the swipe of your sponge.

Kaboom is effective cleaning up soap scum, calcium, stains, and grease on a huge variety of surfaces, including your shower, tub, grout, tile, sinks, and more. Getting great results from this cleaner is really simple, just twist the nozzle on, spray, and wipe away with a sponge, cloth, or brush.

I tried this out on my shower for a direct comparison, since the formula has been revised and I have cleaned my bathroom with the old formula Kaboom in the past. The tub, shower walls, and plumbing fixtures all came out sparkling clean, and there was a very clean scent to everything after the room aired out a bit.

However, I’m really not sure whether the formula change was very significant, since it’s not noticeably better than the old one, and the ingredients list and warnings don’t really seem to indicate that it was made any safer. The strong fumes while spraying it in a confined area were also alarming to me, and make me hesitant to use it much in the future.

Old (Left) / New (Right)

It’s rated C (moderate concern) on the Environmental Working Group, but I’m not sure if that includes the “New Formula.” The EWG is a great resource for consumers wanting to know what’s in their everyday products. The toxicity of cleaners like this is exactly the reason I have switched toward all-natural products over the past few years, and I think the new formula should have gone in that direction.

Ultimately, I do think Kaboom is exceptionally good at eliminating really hard-to-remove stains and grime, but I think I’ll be sure to continue use it sparingly, carefully, and only in more open areas with lots of fresh air. The ingredients are just too risky to justify replacing my current cleaning products with Kaboom, despite the convincing results. I’ll be keeping an eye out in the future to see if there are any further changes to it in order to make it safer and healthier.
