Oxygenics Shower Head

Oxygenics Shower Head Review

Do you want a high performance shower or do you want so save water? The Oxygenics Shower Head claims to do both. While the Oxygenics Shower Head certainly has the hype, esteem and marketing of a superior product, does it really live up to its billing? I decided to look at some reviews and videos of this popular shower head to see if it really does offer a better shower while lowering the cost of your water bill at the same time. The evidence presented in these videos and demonstrations is pretty convincing.

Oxygenics Shower Head Described

While we shower, we need to get the dirt and grime off of us, but how much water is really required to get the job done? The whole idea behind the Oxygenics Shower Head is to make more efficient use of oxygen in order to get the job done with less water. As the demonstrations indicate, you can save up to 56% of the water you used to need to complete your shower. The result is that less water is needed to get the job done. Obviously, the more people in your family taking showers, the more water you stand to save if you're using an oxygenics shower head. The whole idea is that we're making use of technology and the free resources around us to get a better, faster and more efficient shower. Read the rest of this entry

Best vodkas of the world? In my never-ending quest to find the best vodkas of the world, I've gone from Sweden (Svedka) to Denmark (Fris), and now the latest: Finlandia from Finland. Finlandia vodka is the most unique, surprising Vodka  to me of this trio tasting test from Northern Europe.  Finlandia Vodka has a very bright, dry taste that I might even describe as sparkling and somewhat carbonated.  The Finlandia probably packs the biggest bite of the bunch, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The bite and harshness of Finlandia is felt at the top of the mouth and tongue, unlike a cheap vodka that burns at the back of the throat and reminds you as it goes down. When I poured my first shot of warm Finlandia into a glass and took  a sip, its quick bite on the tongue and mouth prepared me for a less than smooth finish, but I was wrong. The bite the Finlandia leaves on the roof of the mouth and tongue does not translate to a less than smooth or unpleasant finish. In fact, it leaves a pleasantly clean sparkling taste in your mouth as it goes down your throat quite smoothly, leaving no burning or unpleasant after effects at all. I really enjoyed my first martini made with Finlandia, and after learning what to expect from it, my 2nd one was even better. Read the rest of this entry

Fris Vodka

In my quest to find the best vodkas of the world, I went to Denmark. Well, okay, I didn't actually travel that far, but I did have to go 2/3rds of the way down the aisle of my local Sam's Liquor store in Westminster, CO to discover Fris Vodka which is imported from Denmark. Fris is unique for two reasons:

These two differences in the making of their vodka give Fris Vodka a cleaner taste and just a hint of distinct grain flavor - so says, the Fris Company.

Everstone Pebble Flooring

Everstone Review

Everstone is an Epoxy-Mixed Resin of decorative stones which is used for surfacing patios, porches, driveways or any other type of floors in, or outside of a home or office.  While I was in the market for having my cement driveway re-surfaced I came upon a pebble-stone driveway while taking a walk. It looked good and it seemed durable. I looked it up and made a call to a local Everstone dealer and installer. He recommended against using this surface for a driveway as he said the turning of car tires would eventually wear grooves in the surface. He did say however, that Everstone would be great for my porch and recommended the Elite Crete (reviewed here) for the driveway. I appreciated his honesty and ended up hiring him for both the Elite Crete driveway and the Everstone porch. Everstone is a very durable surface which is resistant to freezing, ice and extreme weather. It seemed perfect for my north-facing front porch which is extremely hard to keep dry and safe to walk-on during the winter months. Also, you can use salt and magnesium chloride on the pebble surface without worrying about damaging it. Read the rest of this entry

Svedka Vodka Review

Is Svedka Vodka among the Best Vodkas?

If you believe that the Wine Enthusiast knows anything about Best Vodkas, then you would certainly have to consider Svedka one of the best. You might be wondering why a cheap-martini-drinking guy who once tried to sell you on a $7.99, 1.75-liter of Taaka Vodka would even be asking a question about, best vodkas. After a few of the negative comments from readers and several headaches later, I'm now convinced that I had greatly over-rated Taaka.  Not that I ever said Taaka was necessarily a good Vodka, I just didn't think it was bad enough to spoil a mixed drink. I also felt that I could disguise any of it's impure tastes by shaking it well with ice and mixing with olive juice.  I still think if you drink vodka and cranberry juice you're crazy to buy anything else. However, if you're a martini drinker like me, you will eventually come to dislike Taaka Vodka for it's pungent aroma and rough bite.  So, a few weeks ago I went to the liquor store to find an upgraded Vodka that wouldn't break the bank account. I found a really good vodka at a really good price.  Here's how it all went down... Read the rest of this entry
