SodaStream – Make Water Exciting

Did you know that soda was first sold to the upper class, in particular the royal households in London in the early 20th century? Soda was created in 1903 by Guy High Gilbey of the London gin distillers, W & A Gilbey Ltd, the first flavored sodas was “cherry ciderette” and sasaparilla. SodaStream operated as a subsidirary as W & A Gilbey, Ltd machines aren’t a new invention, they were especially popular in the 70s and 80s in UK. SodaStream has gained in popularity in the US because it’s a healthier alternative to soda pop sold in cans, filled with too much sugar & high fructose corn syrup. We’ve come along way since the 1900s when soda was a drink reserved for the elite.
Now you can make your own sodas and waters in a variety of SodaStrem flavors from the Skinnygirl branded flavors of Cucumber Lime, Mango Berr and Apple Peach to SodaStream Naturals like Fresh Lemon, Green Tea Lychee, Cranberry Raspberry, Passionfruit Mango, Kiwi Pear, Lemonades, V8 Sparkling Mixes, Energy Drinks, Kool-Aid drink mix, Margarita Mix, Naturally Sweetened Colas, Ocean Spray cranberry mixes, Orange, Pina Colada, Tonic water, Daiquiri and more!
If you want to make your water “more exciting” you can bid to win SodaStream soda mixing machines, drink mixes, carbonation bottles and more on DealDash.com with these upcoming SodaStream auctions!
Why SodaStream?

“Powered by a CO2 carbonator, SodaStream allows you to turn tap water into sparkling water in an instant so you can create refreshing flavored sparkling water. What’s more, SodaStream drink mixes offer a healthier alternative to ready-to-drink brands, with 2/3 less sugar, no high-fructose corn syrup and no aspartame.

THE FIZZY SECRET TO DRINKING MORE WATER
A recent survey among 3,680 Americans discovers that people with a SodaStream consume 43% more water and water-based drinks than those without a SodaStream. That’s about 3 more glasses of water per day per person! Learn more here.”

Food Prep for Weight Loss

Many people workout for hours in the gym each week and still fail to see weight loss results, the culprit? Nutrition. Proper diet and nutrition plus hard work in the gym is how you will see results if you want to lose those pesky pounds or break out of a plateau. Change up your routine, but change what’s on your plate first.
The 80/20 Rule for Weight Loss
Jillian Michaels says, “Make 80 percent of the food you eat healthy and take 20 percent of your daily calories and make them fun.” Otherwise, says Jillian, you’ll feel deprived—and more tempted to go off the deep end.
Fitness really is 20% exercise and 80% nutrition. You really can’t outrun your fork!
Hungry while you’re out and about so you often find yourself grabbing a bag of chips or driving thru the fast food lane? There’s a way
Start by prepping your food! There are tons of great ideas for what you should buy and how you should prepare your food for a week of healthy eating. By dividing up your food portions and storing them in the fridge for easy access when you’re hungry or to just grab when you’re rushing out the door you will not only save money, but you won’t be tempted to binge eat, stop and eat unhealthy fast food, or break open a bag of fried chips.
First you will need groceries – Pinterest has so many great tips and grocery lists, take a look: Food Prep Ideas.
