Lolleez Organic Throat Soothing Lollipops Review.

When it came to sore throats, mom of four and health coach, Melissa Evans couldn’t find anything to “eez” her kids’ throats or her mind. Thus, the idea for Lolleez was born. Lolleez are organic, worry-free, throat soothing lollipops for kids, that offer a simple solution to a simple problem.

What makes Lolleez different?

• First, it’s the ingredients – Lolleez are made from USDA Certified Organic ingredients and ingredients you can pronounce and understand, like natural fruit pectin and organic honey. They are also Non-GMO as well as gluten, dairy and nut free.
• Second, it’s the worry-free shape – Lolleez are flat and on a stick versus a round ball, which is a potential choking hazard.
• Lastly, it’s the flavors – Lolleez comes in three delicious kid (and adult) friendly flavors: Watermelon, Strawberry and Orange Mango. After surveying hundreds of kids, Lolleez™ founders determined that traditional flavors like cherry and grape have a negative association that is tied to medicines.
•  

“Few ailments cause overall unhappiness to both kids and parents like a sore throat. Whether it’s allergies, a cough or a cold, a sore throat is painful. Every time you swallow, it’s there and it hurts,” said Melissa Evans, Lolleez Founder. “There is nothing worse than watching your child suffer, so I’m really excited to be able to offer an organic and worry-free throat remedy that can help soothe both physical (child) and emotional (parent) pain, with the launch of Lolleez.

Lolleez will be available at Target stores nationwide this month and just in time for allergy season!  Lolleez come in packs of 15 pops: Watermelon, Strawberry, Orange Mango and a Variety Pack for a suggested retail price of $6.99.

My Thoughts:

When I heard of Lolleez I was thrilled! My family and I have horrible allergies. Sore throats are a constant in our household, especially during allergy season. Although I enjoy throat lozenges, the aspect of choking has always been a concern for me, especially for younger generations. I try to have organic products around already, so this product was perfect!

Not only are the flavors of Lolleez fantastic, they truly work! It was impressive to see the size of the product and how sturdy they were. I was sent the variety pack and each was delicious and worked quickly! You would never know that these sweet treats were helping until you suddenly become aware of the relief. I noticed my throat soothed in about three to five minutes. The relief lasted long too! A lot longer than the traditional throat lozenges.

The only suggestion I do have for users is to watch the edges as it melts down in your mouth. I noticed that a couple of my pops got little rough spots that are a bit sharp. However, if you bite that area off, it'll be solved. The Lolleez still stayed put even after that.

I would highly recommend Lolleez to adults, children, and families alike! These are groundbreaking products for anyone that experiences sore throats.

AlternaVites Vitamin C For Cold & Flu Season

Cold and flu season is coming and I thought you might be interested in this new product – great for kids during this sniffly time of year!

This new Vitamin C product from alternaVites literally melts in your mouth! No worrying about having a glass of water with you, trying to get your little one to swallow a pill or chew up an unpleasantly chalky one. This great Vitamin C option for kids can be poured directly on the tongue and taken without water. The delicious powder with an Orange Berry Blast flavor can also be easily mixed into yogurt, pudding or smoothies.

Using a proprietary blend of ingredients, alternaVites are free of sugar, aspartame or high fructose syrup, artificial flavors and preservatives.  It has also been carefully formulated with ingredients that do not contain the major food allergens.

 

My Thoughts 


One of my daughter's is a real handful when it comes to vitamins. She doesn't like the hard chewable kind. She can't have the gummies because she has fillings, and the prescription the doctor said I could drop  in her juice...forget it. She tosses the juice every time I try it. When I heard about alternaVites Kids, they seemed like the perfect solution so I was excited to give them a try.

alternaVites Kids come in little packets that have a fine powder. They can be flicked a little at a time on the tongue or mixed with yogurt or drinks.  My children all gave the vitamins a try and opinions varied. My ten-year-old loves in and likens them to that sugary candy that comes in the straws. My oldest wasn't as easily impressed. She said it was okay, but she prefers her regular chewable vitamins.  The two youngest kids didn't like the powdered form on their tongues at all, but when mixed with their yogurt, they didn't notice it. So my problem about getting vitamins for my finicky child is solved, I just have to take the extra step to make sure the vitamins are well-blended with the food so she doesn't notice.

The widely varied opinions of my kids made me curious, so  I decided to give the packets a try myself, just to see how they tasted. We received the strawberry bubble gum and the Orange Berry Blast Vitamin C. To me, they had a bit of an artificial sweetener taste, but they weren't bad. If you are having trouble getting kids to take their vitamins, alternaVites are definitely worth a chance. This is one of those cases where you just won't know if its for you until you try it because it's a matter of personal taste.

Our Thoughts

I always have a hard time with lip balms during the cold and flu season, especially since we live in Wisconsin where it gets tundra-like and the winds alone can be enough to make you wish you didn't have to go outside. I also have a difficult time getting my kiddos to understand that they just can't keep squeezing the tube or screwing up the bottom of the lip balm. It just doesn't work no matter how hard I try and how many times I preach.

The eos Medicated Tangerine lip balm is fantastic! It doesn't feel like it's medicated at all and I love that there's no squeezing or turning a knob at the bottom of the lip balm container! The screw cap on the sphere is genius as it won't fall off when I throw it in the diaper bag or my monk bag that doubles as my purse.

The other thing that's great about all of the items I listed above is that the eos Medicated Tangerine Sphere is GREAT to send with the kids to school! There's very little ways that they can make a total mess of the lip balm. They can't even forget the balm in their pockets only for them to make their way through the laundry. For me though, the lip balm is great in that it helps reduce the chapping, soothes my lips, and makes them kissably soft! My husband even likes the sphere!

I highly recommend the Medicated Tangerine Anti-Bacterial Lip Balm Smooth Sphere for you, your kids and your significant other.
