Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


When I was a child and had the beginnings of a scratchy throat or dust cough, I remember my mother handing me a Pine Bros Honey or Cherry Softish Throat drop. They were a balm to my throat and a memory made to cherish.  My mother was the only person who knew what to give me when I had these little non serious ailments.

Upon popping the drop in my mouth I would let it slowly dissolve and it felt like the melting drop was coating my throat with something to stop the tickle or scratch and it was way better than those nasty throat sprays or prescriptions by the dreaded doctors.

The honey flavored were actually my favorite because to me the taste was like fresh honey from the jar just in a manageable drop without the stickiness and mess of jar honey.  I could really savor the flavor and even the aroma was like honeysuckle flowers!  The cherry ones were also good but more tart rather than sweet which made the product diversified having the contrast of the two. 

These drops were a staple in the house during those long winters and I was really disappointed when the company stopped distributing them around my teen years because hard candies and throat lozenges never really worked as well as these little gummy miracles for me. 

I was so pleased when the company came out again a few years ago with the original recipes and I was able to find the product locally.  Lo and behold, it brought back those wonderful childhood memories of mom and still works like a charm to soothe those silly little throat nuisances.  The honey still tastes fresh and clean and reminds me of straight out of the jar and the cherry still has that slight tartness that reminds me of a cherry tree on a spring day.

I say go out and buy them the next time you feel that little tickle in your throat that generally means nothing and try them.  They are awesome!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Strong, Functional Umbrella

This is absolutely the best umbrella I have owned in a long time!  It is functional and fashionable!  I bought the turquoise blue because I am so tired of the sea of black umbrellas I see every time it rains.  I wish more people would have bright colored umbrellas to brighten up those dreary rainy days.  But I regress... This umbrella is different from the moment you get it home.  You can see the difference in just the opening of it when you see the sleeve it comes in and the material the sleeve is made of.  The umbrella is made of that same material. It is thicker than your standard umbrellas you can see that and the material feel is soft yet durable. When you see the handle it has the auto open/close button and a wrist strap.  The feel of the handle is almost like those plush microfiber materials yet made of plastic.  It felt very comfortable in hand and did not slip. When you finally open the umbrella there is a black 'powdercoat' on...

The Scent of Christmas - All Year!

I love the smells of Christmas!  Pine trees, cold air, snow, and of course, Peppermint! I recently discovered the benefits of pure essential oils for health, wellness and home uses.  It was recommended to me that I try using an oil product in my diffusers/humidifiers in order to help clear up my sinuses.  Right now it is cold and flu season although it is unseasonably warm in the NorthEast.   I found this product and researched the company and learned a lot about them and the products they make.  They are community oriented and based in the United States.  I have used this now for a few weeks and find that my friends were spot on.  It soothes my nasal issues and I find that I breathe easier.   The scent is strong but not overbearing.  Some scents can make you cough and your eyes burn, but not these.  I find it brings great memories of Christmastime and heath and home. It also is great to ward off those little rodents in your h...

Comfortable Deep Sleep Mask

This Dream Essential Silk Premium Black Eye Mask is a very high quality sleep mask that I can recommend for anyone. It is extremely luxurious.  Made of 100% silk.  It allows the user to adjust the band in the back to their own comfort level so it is never too tight or too loos.  There is additional padding in the undereye/nose bridge area so that it does not lay flat against your face. There were no material lines or marks on any part of my face upon waking up.  This mask completely blocked out 100% of the natural light in the room and the 'false' ligthing from the cable box, alarm clock, etc.  I was able to nap during the day when I had a migraine and still use it at night to sleep through.   It is also great to travel with.  I took it on a recent train excursion and it kept the sunlight out so I could nap on the train and not be woken by the lighting.  It is very well made and easy to care for. #dreamessentials Disclosure:...
