Movies

I have watched Gone With The Wind around Christmas every year for as long as I can remember and Anne of Green Gables and Scarlett too as soon as it came out on dvd. Is there any non Christmas movie you watch every year ?

The Perfect Thing For A Cold Outing !

This time a year whether you are out for a walk looking at the lights or trying to walk off some of those holiday treats, it's no fun when your hands or feet are freezing ! I like to put the little ones in the wagon and take them for walks around the neighborhood,I don't like to have frozen fingers and toes while doing it. I have tried these out and they work great !

From their site :

Many people find that when the weather turns cold, no matter what they do they have a very difficult time keeping warm. No matter how many layers they put on they still can not beat the chill factor, but the good news is now there is a way! Our hand warmers are 100% natural which means no harmful chemicals or batteries. Composed of iron, water, salt, wood fiber and activated charcoal these all natural products make our hand warmers, safe and environmentally friendly.

Once the warmer is removed from its package, it is air activated to produce a warming all natural heat keeping your hands warm for up to ten hours. Our hand warmers are perfect for the hunter, fisher, skier or snowboarder, the snowmobiling enthusiast or anyone who enjoys enjoying the great outdoors regardless of the temperature. Because of their air activation they are easy to open and activate, even with gloves on! They are perfect for sticking in your pockets for some added warmth. However, most people find when their hands are cold, so are their feet.

That is why we carry our line of Insole Warmers, and our heated insole Toasti Toe Foot Warmers! These products are the perfect compliment to our Heatmax hand warmers. Made out of the same ingredients as our hand warmers, our foot warmers and toe warmers have special adhesive to stick in your boots and enjoy warm feet all day! Our larger size pad body warmers are great for all over warmth, or to helps soothe back and joint pain. Heat is a known relief from a sore back or aching joints and these body warmers do just the trick. They have a special adhesive that easily attaches to wherever the pain is for immediate, 10 hour relief. So whether you are looking to spend some time on the slopes, on the river, need some heat relief, or are just sick of having cold feet and hands, try our hand warmers, foot warmers, toe warmers, and body warmers and do not let the cold bother you anymore!

I also put them under the blanket where the kids were sitting to keep them warm ,since they were just sitting and not really moving around and they were still warm when I got home. So if you plan on being outside or even sitting in a cold rink ,I say get some of these to help keep you warm while you do it!

** I received some of these products to help with my review and did not receive any other form of compensation .**

Try It Tuesday !

I haven't done one of these in awhile,but Try It Tuesday is just a post where I say if I liked a couple things that I have tried lately. It's not a review for a company,I buy the things myself when I'm getting groceries or whatever.

Freschetta Brick Oven Pizza - Roasted Portabella Mushrooms & Spinach - I thought it was ok but didn't really care for the onion sauce they used on it, I think if the sauce was a little different it would be great because everything else was really good about it.

Lean Pockets - Culinary Creations - Spinach Artichoke Chicken- These weren't bad..not my favorite thing in the world ,but I would eat them again.

Lean Pockets - Culinary Creations - Chipotle Chicken - I loved them ! I loved everything about them,the crust is good and the sauce and stuffing and best part of all they don't put beans in them...just chicken and corn and cheese and a few other things...they are now my new favorite quick meal when I need something to eat and don't want to cook .

So here's are a few things I have tried lately and what I think of them,but others might really like the ones I didn't care for. So I say go try them and if you like chipotle type things the Chipotle Chicken ones are great !

FUTURO Review

I have had trouble with my legs with the last couple pregnancies ,aching and the lovely veins showing up and things like that. FUTURO™ Hosiery by 3M is a great line of products that really do help your legs feel better...when on the go !

FUTURO™ Hosiery by 3M is perfect for travelers of any age, to help improve in-flight comfort as well as prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT or “Economy Class Syndrome”). DVT is the development of blood clots in the legs that can lead to serious health risks like heart attack or stroke, even in younger travelers. This is a serious issue, for which more than 600,000 Americans are affected each year – 100,000 of whom sadly die from it.

Features and Benefits of FUTURO™ Trouser and Dress Socks include:

Ideal for sitting in one place all day, while traveling or at the office

Graduated compression improves circulation, with maximum compression at the ankle that gradually decreases up the let to provide an energizing feeling

‘Massage-in-motion’ action massages tired, achy legs as you move

Vein therapy helps to relieve symptoms of mild varicose or spider veins and swelling

Soft, comfortable material features an attractive wide band that holds socks in place

Durable, reinforced toe and heel keep you looking professional all day long

We are going to be in the car alot over the next few days going here and there to see family and each time we do it's going to be a good 3 hour or so drive anywhere we go. I plan on wearing my FUTURO™ Revitalizing Trouser Socks to keep from getting achy swollen feet !

If you have never tried them,I would say you should and to help you out they even have a link to coupons on their site !

Living With Epilepsy

My mother has had it since she was a teen or at least that's when she found out she had it. Two of her siblings have it...not as bad as her ,but since it does seem to run in her family. I have always been worried one of my children may have it.

As caregivers, we as Moms not only make the lunches and beds, but a majority of the household decisions. However, for women with a disability or who care for someone in their household with a disability, seemingly everyday responsibilities can become hurdles as they deal with diagnoses, treatments, and other issues alongside their daily lives. On the heels of National Epilepsy Awareness month in November, HealthyWomen.org created the "Women Succeeding with Epilepsy" video series, sponsored by UCB, Inc., to educate and inspire women dealing with the challenges of living or caring for someone with epilepsy. In the series, one woman tells the story of caring for her son with epilepsy while another woman shares her experience of living with epilepsy since she was a teenager. To watch the videos go to http://www.healthywomen.org/content/article/women-succeeding-epilepsy-part2 on the page you will also find a print and go tip sheet for supporting someone living with epilepsy .

I found this article interesting on Epilepsy and Women's Health and this one on Living With Epilepsy. So if you are related to someone that has it or know someone that does,here is your chance to learn a little more about what they deal with on a daily basis.

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of HealthyWomen’s “Women Succeeding with Epilepsy” sponsored by UCB, Inc. and received a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

The Perfect Stocking Stuffers ! (Giveaway)

If you’re searching for a small stocking stuffer or little add-on gift, Softlips, Conair, scunci, and Anti-Monkey Butter Powder have it for you! These must-haves should be at the top of your list to give this holiday season.

Softlips Lip Conditioners: Everyone loves to have irresistibly kissable lips, so why not give this perfect little gift to a friend, family member, or even yourself? To celebrate the winter season and help bring the holiday spirit, Softlips is offering their limited edition Holidays 5-Pack of lip conditioners- Sugar & Spice, Winter Mint, Sugar Cookie, Sugar Plum Berry, and Mint with a Hint of Vanilla.

Packaged in a festive, blue sachet, the new Softlips limited edition winter flavor gift pack is affordable, makes for the perfect stocking stuffer or a final touch on a gift attached to a ribbon. Each irresistibly, delicious flavor is reminiscent of the holidays, helping to protect lips with SPF 20 and great moisturizing properties.
Now through out the holiday/winter season, the Holidays 5-Pack is available exclusively in the new Softlips online store, http://www.softlips.com/, for $9.99.

Conair Hair Brushes: Great hairstyles start with a great brush! It’s a gift that will always be used. Detangle wet and dry hair of all lengths with the Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Small Porcupine Round Brush or Conair Gel Grips Cushion Brush. Each helps smooth, style, and straighten hair. The Conair Gel Grips Cushion Brush conforms to the shape of your hand for easy styling, and the flexible cushion base prevents hair breakage. The Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Small Porcupine Round Brush utilizes finely crushed tourmaline, a gemstone that naturally releases negative ions, infused into the nylon bristles and ceramic barrel of the brush. The ions tighten the cuticle layer and seal in natural oils, reducing static electricity, leaving hair shiny and silky.

The brushes are available nationwide at mass market and drug store retailers.

Scunci Hair Accessories: Good things come in small packages especially with scunci hair accessories, which can take your hair from drab to fab in seconds. Here are two of the latest lines from scunci!

If you’ve tried every hair tie, hair band, and clip imaginable and still nothing seems to stay put in your hair, here’s the solution! New Evolution™ hair ties, hair bands and clips, are the latest expansion of the scunci® No Slip Grip line! This great collection utilizes new technology to create hair ties, hair bands, and claw clips that won’t come out until you take them out! The hair bands and hair ties now have a new “jelly” look and feel to them that is perfect to hold your hair comfortably all day, and the traditional claw clips now have inner teeth to create a tighter, stay-put grip.

Want to try something fun and festive for the holiday party, but are worried you might lack the styling skill? Try the scunci® Upzing™ double combs! Easy to use, comfortable enough for every day, and sophisticated enough for special occasions, the Upzing accessory is perfect for all hair types. It has a lasting hold and can be used to create dozens of styles, ranging from polished ponies to glamorous up-dos. It is composed of two hair combs attached to a fabric or beaded elastic for the stunning look. Slide, stretch and “zing”: three easy steps to a stunning new style.

Scunci Upzing and Evolution products are available nationwide at mass market and drug store retailers.

Anti Monkey Butt® Powder: For the active people in your life, give the gift of “booty beauty!” with Anti Monkey Butt® Powder! “Monkey Butt” is the slang term for the soreness, itching, and redness that affects one’s backside as the result of friction and sweat. While Anti Monkey Butt® Powder is ideal for motorcyclists, racers, and athletes, its soothing treatment can aid any one who has experienced the discomfort and irritation associated with the friction of clothing on skin. It’s also a great for keeping your snow boots and Santa costumes dry!

Unlike other powders, Anti Monkey Butt® Powder contains calamine and talc which gives it a cooling sensation instead of the burning that you might get from other products. The only other ingredient present in Anti Monkey Butt® Powder is a light fragrance.
There’s also a special Lady Anti Monkey Butt® Powder! This lightly-scented version still delivers the same great results as regular AMBP, but the calamine is combined with cornstarch (vs. talc) for a more silky, feminine texture. Perfect for keeping those pantyhose dry, while whipping up the holiday meal!
