DIAL has just come out with some new fun Body + Hair washes for kids and I was delighted to try them out with my boys, especially my tot. That poor little guy seems to be allergic to everything and is always trying to get us to buy the fancy bright colored shampoos he sees at the store. Unfortunately, most of them are not hypoallergenic. I was really excited to see how the bottles for the kids were fun and had witty names like, Peachy Clean, Berry Cool and Watery Melon; yes, they do smell as sweet as they sound! It is the little touches like this that share the fun of bathtime with kids.

• The Peachy Clean Tear-Free Body + Hair wash is for ages 2+. It does have a light fragrance of peaches, but contains no artificial dyes, is hypoallergenic and contains no added parabens. As they were all designed by Pediatric Dermatologists, they are very easy on tender skin. My tot, who is extremely sensitive to many body washes, hadn’t had any issues with this 2-in-1 and always smelled so much like summer peach pie coming out of the tub!
• The Berry Cool and Watery Melon are both designed for 6+. However, they are also Tear-Free and Hypoallergenic as well! Which is something you don’t see in most kid washes. I never quite understood that as young ones are just beginning to learn how to take baths and showers by themselves and it is at this age that they start getting the shampoo in their eyes and freak out about washing their hair. I am sure it was not just my first child that did this! The scents are very light and not overpowering, just strong enough for kids to have a lot of fun smelling like berries and melons (which is a wonderful change from other smells). 

Another exciting thing about the DIAL 2-in1 washes for kids is that they have some super bubbles! It was a lot of fun filling up a tub full of smelly sweet bubbles to wash up in. Any kid could have a bubble bath, but with these new DIAL Body + Hair washes you can have a Berry Bubble Bath or a Peachy Clean Car Wash (that was my tot’s idea)!

Have some fun with bathtime. It certainly makes it a lot easier to convince my kid to wash up when we make it an exciting adventure! You can pick up any of these new DIAL 2-in-1 washes at your local shopping center and can also read more about DIAL For Kids on their website.

One of my weaknesses is gourmet popped corn. I know for some women is it chocolate, cakes or candies but for me it is the delightful mix of crunch and fluffy white puffs of goodness that sooth my cravings. From the moment I first tried gourmet popped corn I had forgotten there was any other alternative, because there honestly isn’t anything that can compare. G.H. Cretors proves that to a most delicious point and I was excited to try all of their flavors!

Let me break down each of their flavors and how they are unique. Let’s start with my very, very, very favorite – Caramel Corn.

• Just the Caramel Corn is made the old fashioned way, in an old fashioned copper kettle one batch at a time! The same way that they’ve been making it since 1885. 
• Kettle Corn is my husband’s most favorite treat. It has four simple ingredients: sunflower oil, popcorn, cane sugar and sea salt. Yum! It is the perfect mix of sweet and salty. 
• Just the Cheese Corn is made with real cheddar cheese and you can taste it! The difference in G.H. Cretors Just the Cheese Corn and non gourmet brands is so extreme that you’d swear you’d never tasted cheese popcorn before. 
• Caramel Nut Crunch was my husband and I’s super secret treat. My tot is allergic to Tree Nuts and Cashews to the extreme. As this contains both Almonds and Cashews, we would grab it late at night when he was asleep we would sneak this incredible treat out and eat it hiding in the livingroom. Oh my goodness! It is extremely addicting. So much that my husband stole it away one night while I was asleep and finished it without me. I am still hoarding that over his head!
• Chicago Mix I must admit scared me at first. Cheddar Cheese Popcorn and Caramel? What was wrong with Chicago?!? It took me over a week to finally cave and try this mix and mainly it was because I ran out of Just the Caramel Corn and I am addicted to it. So I figured I would just test it out and see what these crazy Chicago popcorn eaters were doing. You know what? It was actually really good! I still think they might be crazy mixing these flavors together, but I have to admit they are on to something.

The wonderful thing about G.H. Cretors Popped Corn is that they use Brown Rice Syrup rather than Corn Syrup, which has a low glycemic value and also is packed with good-for-you minerals! It is also gluten-free, which I am sure many of you (or your kids) with gluten allergies are praising! Yay! And to make it all that more exciting.. it is GMO free! I was so happy to read that they honestly cared about having natural products and what they were feeding their consumers. This is certainly a family brand that cares about families.

G.H. Cretors has a very long and incredible History that I implore you to take the time to read and you will see why they are passionate about their Popped Corn. As Gourmet Popped Corn is becoming the “fashionable” way to snack, make sure you are doing so with the best ingredients in mind. You can find out where you can pick up G.H. Cretors Popped Corn in stores near you by using their Store Locator.

Take a moment and check them out on their Facebook Page and if you get a chance to try it, let them know how much you love their Popped Corn and their consideration of our families (and our sweet tooths).
