Carrot Tart Speaks

Loved having the opportunity to try out some new cleaning products from Zep! Especially getting the disenfectant action without all the toxic fumes. Z ep Quick Clean Disinfectant is non-aerosol making it lots easier to use and I always think non-aerosol is better for any environment. Motivation for cleaning is always good and I kept seeing the buzz about Zep from my fellow bloggers so I was jazzed when I was invited to try it out. It was a great reason to actually move all the stuff out of the shower and get busy although the following photo is a little embarrassing .... YUCKY!  It took no time to get everything cleaned up and disinfected  for my little buddy with Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant. Not only does it clean and disinfect it deodorizes and kills Cold and Flu viruses aka Staph and Rhinovirus! ♥DUCKY!♥ I also received "Zep All-Around Cleaner & DeGreaser"  which is my fave kind of product to keep handy ~ instead of digging through my...

Rumors swirled last year about Google discontinuing this feature yet I still have mine. I have been curious because I find it the easiest way to connect with other blogs. I like to click on the blogs that supported me by following my blog and I find it a great way to discover new blogs on my friend's sites. I think it may have been discontinued for non Google platforms. I have a new blog friend who did not know about this feature so I went digging. Google wants us to use Google+ so adding that to your site was easy to find and my friend added that. Sorry darling - not quite the same thing. Google+ is fun however if I just want to see your blog posts they may get lost amidst everything else you may share. The Google Friend Connect feature was a little hard to find but it is still easy to add - and they simplified the title to Followers on the Gadget List.   First thing you do is go to your blog and click Layout Click on Add a Gadget Next click on More Gadgets ...

Silk and Cookies I'll be ready with Silk and cookies so I do not eat all the candy between trick or treaters. Discovering new beverages is a favorite pastime of mine  so when bzzagent.com invited me to try out Silk Almond Coconut Blend I was delighted. It fits right in with my new health program . I should say continuous health program - I am always looking for new ways to enjoy some of my favorite things - just in a healthier way. I tried coconut milk from my local farmer's market as I kept hearing about all the wonderful things it does. It was missing the taste good thing. So this is a great way to baby step my way into the coconut health trend without missing a beat. I was going to write about all the fabulous properties of Silk Almond Coconut Blend then I had a brainstorm - I'll just show you the product info. Note that the Silk Almond Coconut Milk I chose only has 50 calories per serving (1 cup) and there is an unsweetened version with just 35 calories...

Other people can do it - why not me ? Intellectually I know smoking is bad ...bad...bad. Yet here I am puffing while I am writing this . I decided a good tool for me would be to blog about it and put it out in the world which ironically is a double entendre and a good motto for my quest. I need to gather my tools and thought I would ask the web for ideas. What worked...what did not ... why ideas worked and why they did not. Not very attractive   I took a big step yesterday and spoke with a coach supplied by my husband's insurance company and learned a lot. I check back in two weeks. I also made a goal to reduce my daily count of cigarettes from 22 to 15. Leap of faith - I do not know for sure how many I smoke a day so the first thing I need to do is establish an accurate way to keep count. I would definitely love a proven method someone has successfully used to do this!  I also started my denial and poohed a great idea that makes sense to me logically which is ...

  carrottarts.blogspot.com  Bulletproof Picasso by Train bounces around from upbeat catchy tunes to ballads. It seems like the group was going through a reflective time . I tried to delve into the meaning of the album as a whole since I received it complimentary from Sony Music and One2One network to review . First time I have really explored an album this way. Usually I just hear a song and if I can not get it out of my head I go check out the band . The more I listen perhaps it is just me being reflective. I love music that can make you feel things and reminds you of memories. The music is not all nostalgic ~ there is a feeling of hope and even some humor . A line in "Son of a Prison Guard" which is a melancholic song made me burst out laughing. Hmm should I share ...okay I will - "My mother bless her heart just set the bar too high to start". I am going to have to figure out which band member is from the South.  I also love music you can sing to an...
