My Thoughts

We all know we need to drink a lot of water, especially if we are trying to loose weight. Skinnygirl Daily on the go Nutrition has many products, but I was lucky to review the Vitamin Power Packs. These Vitamin Power packs are a multi-vitamin & electrolytes combined with a certain function in powder form that you add to 10oz of cold water.  I received one packet of each flavor, which is:

• Strawberry Lemonade plus Energy & Alertness
• Tangerine plus Immunity
• Blueberry Lemonade plus Stress Relief & Calm
• Wild Berry plus Hair Skin Nails

My favorites were the Tangerine and the Strawberry, because I think that they had the best flavor and were just plain yummy! What a wonderful burst of flavor and what a great change from the boring taste of plain old water.

I only had one of each pack so I cannot say if they do everything that they state that they do. While I did feel a calmness after drinking the Blueberry Lemonade I am not sure if I was just overly tired or if it was the drink.

I know that I will definitely be buying a few packets of each of my favorite flavors to see what the long-term results are and to change up my boring water a bit.  Great idea Skinnygirl Daily, they are very compact and you just pour it right into your water bottle, which makes them easy for those of us that are on the go!

Prenatal fitness guru and new mom, Sara Haley, designed Expecting More™ to help fit and healthy moms-to-be stay motivated, inspired and fit throughout their pregnancy. Based on her own experience with pregnancy, as well as training other pre and post-natal women, Sara saw the need for a comprehensive prenatal DVD training program. Expecting More™ provides six different workouts to give women a variety of cardio, strength and dynamic flexibility exercises. “Every day is different and every pregnancy is different, so I wanted to give women the options to implement what they need when they need to,” said creator Sara Haley. “I am so proud of this program and I hope these workouts will help change the way prenatal fitness is viewed.”

My Thoughts

Expecting MORE is my favorite workout video since….EVER!!! I LOVE this video! I have spent all my life fighting the battle of the bulge. After desperately seeking, I finally found the joy of exercise! I was getting my grove on with Zumba, powering it up with kickboxing, and adding some jogging into my walk. And then, I discovered I was pregnant! My husband and I were thrilled with the news! But, I was a little disappointed when I heard I had to give up some of my new found favorite activities.

Enter Expecting MORE. This video was EXACTLY what I was looking for. This is NOT a stretching video. This is a WORKOUT video. YOU WILL WORKOUT…and you will LOVE IT! This video is definitely “for the fit and healthy mom to be”. Now, that doesn’t mean you have to be at your ideal weight – I certainly am not. It does mean that you are very active on a regular basis and most importantly that you have your doctor’s permission to do this workout.

Sara Haley is a great instructor and a great inspiration (some of the things she can do in her third trimester are things I couldn’t do when I wasn’t pregnant!). Her focus is on safe moves that make you fit and strong. She is always cautioning you to listen to your body and modify as needed. This video is loaded with great features. The cool down at the end of every session is one of my favorites. You don’t have to skip around or change discs to find it. The little calendar guide keeps you on track with your routines, and has you mixing it up so it all stays fresh. There are SO many things I love about Expecting MORE. I could go on and on about the workouts, extras and the instructor. This is one workout DVD that you will definitely use, and I definitely recommend!

Who couldn’t use a better night’s sleep? Sleep Scentsations’ newest product, SnoreRx, now offers a non-invasive, natural solution to help suppress snoring and provide a more restful night of sleep.

SnoreRx has been through three years of rigorous product testing and has garnered proven market acceptance. Until recently, it has been sold and marketed exclusively to commercial partners like spas, hotels and hospitals. Infusion Brands, a global consumer products company, is bringing SnoreRx directly to consumers for the first time. For a limited time, consumers can get their free pre-release trial of this innovative sleep aid product at getsnorerx.com.

The driving force behind this line of products has been Sleep Scentsations’ innovative, patented delivery system for essential oils: soft-cushioned pillow liners infused with natural essential oils. Each liner is high pressure-infused so it is completely dry, eliminating the mess associated with other essential oil products. Because it adheres under the pillow cover, it is the first completely non-invasive delivery system for essential oils.

SnoreRx liners are infused with a combination of eucalyptus, neroili, marjoram and other essential oils known to relieve snoring symptoms. As you sleep, SnoreRx naturally enhances the air you breathe, opening up your nasal passages and providing you – and your partner – with a better night’s rest. It’s also hypoallergenic and safe for children.

My Thoughts

My husband is a chronic snorer. We’ve been married for over 10 years and I don’t remember a time that he ever didn’t snore.

It didn’t bother me when we were first married. I was able to sleep through the snoring easily. But that completely changed after kids. Getting up in the middle of the night to change diapers and feed babies definitely changes a person into a light sleeper. And so my struggle to sleep restfully began.

We have tried bunches of products over the years, trying to find something that would be the “cure-all” snore product. We’ve had some success with some of them and no success with others.

These Sleep Scentsation Aromatherapy Pillow Liners by Snore RX were fun to try and actually worked in stopping my husband’s snoring for the night. Each pillow liner is in its own little pouch that you tear open before use. You attach the pillow liner (with its light adhesive backing) to the top of your pillow, but you place it underneath the actual pillowcase. Each liner lasts 3 consecutive nights.

The pillow liners are infused with essential oils such as lavender, eucalyptus, and geranium. These essential oils are supposed to suppress your snoring and help you breathe easier at night. They are non-invasive and don’t put anything on your nose or in your mouth to help stop the snoring.

After one restful, snore-free night, my husband and I are both excited about this product. Though the essential oil smells were a bit strong at first, we were both able to fall asleep after a few minutes. And I am happy to report that I can’t remember a single time I awoke during the night and asked my husband to stop snoring. Because he didn’t snore. Not once.

Maty’s Quiet Relief was developed by Maty’s mom as a safe and efficient option. This syrup begins with genuine, antioxidant wealthy buckwheat honey. Many of Mother Nature’s most potent immune and bronchial support ingredients are then added. Since this item is food-based, there are no dangerous. All Natural Cough Syrup. With antioxidant rich Buckwheat Honey and 9 immune support ingredients. Doctor recommended product. For ages 1+ it works. It is a dietary supplement.

My Thoughts

My daughter has an allergic reaction to Codeine. Most cough medicines that doctors prescribe contain Codeine so we have always looked for a cough syrup that will work, but does not have any Codeine in it. We have tried many home remedies, but none prove themselves to work. Looking for something that might work that is all natural, has always been a challenge. We had the great opportunity to try this new All Natural Cough Syrup by Maty’s Healthy Products. It worked wonders, and my daughter got a good nights sleep.

Although a little bit thick to swallow, the taste of the syrup overall was not bad at. (I had to take a taste test myself so I would know how to describe it) Cough syrups usually burn going down or you gag trying to swallow it. Not so with this natural cough syrup, it was easy to swallow. Just knowing that you are getting the 9 immune support ingredients makes you want to take this syrup in place of any of other medicines you might need to take for colds.

This cough syrup will be in our medicine cabinet and be used for the rest of our family when we have colds. My grandson is allergic to dairy and this syrup is dairy free! It is a great product to have around, especially those nights when you are sick with a cough and need to sleep!

I had laryngitis with a cold and did not have time to be sick. I had company coming in from out of town, a husband in a walking cast and all the responsibilities of my household to keep up with- I could not be out of commission. So I sought some help and reached for the Cold-eeze Cold Remedy Oral Spray.  I followed the directions and sprayed 2 times in my mouth every 2-4 hours for 3 days. Within 24 hours I could tell that this homeopathic spray was reducing my cold symptoms. It felt as though my congestion and cold symptoms were easing and I was feeling better. I continued using the spray and in 3 days my cold symptoms were almost completely gone. They say that the average cold last 7 days, well my cold only lasted 5 days, and I am very grateful for a reduced affliction.

The directions read to spray on inside of cheeks, roof of mouth and gums.  Whatever you do, do not spray it in the back of your throat-it ran down my throat and it sent me into a coughing fit.  When I followed the directions and sprayed Cold-Eeze on the inside of my cheeks it tasted bitter for a few minutes.

It was great to take cold medicine without feeling dizzy and cloudy headed. I was able to take care of my company, my husband and all of my responsibilities without feeling down and groggy from a cold.  However following directions I would recommend this product to reduce the onset of the common cold. I recommended this product to my mom who appreciated that it is a homeopathic product and it is helping to reduce her cold that she caught from me, at least we have Cold-Eeze to help.
