What are Nutraceuticals?
Nutraceuticals are foods that are enriched with the kinds of vitamins and minerals that are important for maintaining health and preventing illness 

Why Vitamins? 
As you know lots of breakfast cereals are fortified with important vitamins and minerals. That's because of doctors and nutritionists know that getting 100% of your daily recommended daily requirements of essential vitamins and minerals is key to stay strong and healthy but many people don't have time to sit down for a meal in the morning. That's why every variety of VitaMuffin is fortified with as many as 15 of the crucial vitamins and minerals you need, including folic acid, niacin, iron, calcium, vitamins A, B, C, E and more! In fact, you'll notice something on every VitaMuffin package you don't normally associate with tasty baked goods.

And what I think about how these taste their great you can't tell they are good for you meaning you wouldn't think because they taste so amazing that it's hard to believe they have Vitamins and Minerals. If you are looking for a tasty treat that is good for you check out Vitalicious. Also come follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Fit Mom's For Life Review/Giveaway

Dustin Maher a fitness professional living in Madison, WI. A 28 year old that absolutely loves his job as a personal trainer/fitness instructor/writer/motivational speaker/and teacher. I love helping everyone I come in contact with get in better shape. I especially enjoy helping moms look even better then before having kids.

The first question I get a lot is why a 28 year old single guy loves working with moms. The answer to that question goes back many years to when my mom raised 3 younger siblings and me, along with my dad. She was a stay at home mom and did so much for her 4 children. Looking back, I realized that she spent so much time taking care of her kids she didn't make time for herself. I also realized that she didn't have a good support group of other mothers who were motivated to get in shape and lose the baby fat. I was very blessed to have a mom that was health conscious and cooked very healthy. I learned a lot from her as she taught me what it was to eat well. I also realized that when I can make another mom change the food that she buys for her family and begins to exercise, her kids want to do what she is doing!  So not only do I get to help the mother out, but I get to help out the kids and maybe the husband once in awhile out as well.

If you want to lose weight and feel better about yourself this will change your mind on getting back into better shape even after kids. I am going to try this and work on me for a chance.

Granola Gourmet Review

Granola gourmet was founded by Jeff Cohen, a person with diabetes who was frustrated with the lack of good tasting snacks that wouldn't spike his blood sugar. He took to his kitchen to create a delicious variety of 100% natural low Glycemic energy bars. Granola Gourmet uses uses products that are low in Glycemic index. Foods with a low Glycemic index release Carbohydrates and glucose more slowly into the blood stream thereby keeping blood sugar more stable. Elevated blood glucose levels can cause hormonal and metabolic changes that may affect health. Granola Gourmet Energy Bars  are clinically proven to be low glycemic.  They have been tested on people with type 2 diabetes to determine their Glycemic Index value by scientists at GI Labs who developed the concept of the Glycemic Index.
These bars are so yummy you can't tell they are natural and good for you. These I would recommend to everyone but for the people that are diabetics the most these are at tasteful snack that will go a long way if you start to get the shakes just grab one of these for a boast of energy.

This company sent out a few of their products for me to try here they are listed below and my opinions.

First is their Acne Cream: Which Retails for $24.95.This product is great at eliminating acne and clearing clogged and infected pores.

  • Clears acne fast

  Another item I was able to try is the Anti-Wrinkle Serum this Retails for $19.95.

The anti fungal cream retails for $24.95 and it eliminates fungal infections such as ringworm athletes foot jock itch and nail fungus. I am currently using this for toe nail fungus not sure how the out come will be it looks as if it's clearing it up but still using this product.
 


The Honeymark Bath Salt Retails for $1995. Made with genuine Himalayan salt crystals and Manuka Honey from New Zealand, both of which are well known for their rejuvenating benefits.

Glowbug Diaper Review/Giveaway

Two moms who found friendship during a pre-natal yoga class. Neta and I became close friends through the course of our pregnancies. We were thrilled when my daughter Amelia was born only weeks after Neta's daughter Ela in 2007. We both discovered and enjoyed using cloth diapers on our girls.

After the birth of Neta's son Edder and my daughter Gloria in 2010, we were both looking for new cloth diapers. Neta and I had the same concerns with the available brands. All we wanted were good quality, affordable cloth diapers but we were really frustrated that the product we were looking for did not seem to exist. What better solution to our dilemma then to start our own company that would sell amazing quality cloth diapers at a great price. We knew that there must be lots of other parents out there who want to use cloth diapers but are intimidated by the cost of investing in good quality diapers.


We are here to help you every step  of the way in making the switch to cloth diapers and can't wait to hear how much you love them.




These cloth diapers are very soft and hold up very well. And the design Jayce is wearing are cute little fish we love glow bug diapers and highly recommended. Go check them out Glow Bug Diapers. Now for the giveaway one lucky winner will win their own Glowbug Diaper in the choice of a girl print, boy print, or gender neutral print. Follow the Rafflecopter Below on how to win your very own.

Cascade Ice is a zero calorie sugar free flavored sparkling water that eliminates all unnecessary unhealthy extra's found in other flavor waters like sugar, sodium, carbs, caffeine and gluten. Cascade Ice water is a two-calorie, sugar-free flavored sparkling water with a clean, crisp, delicious taste.

Sparkling water combined with natural fruit flavors create a refreshing, no calorie beverage the whole family can feel good about drinking. Cascade Ice water eliminates all the unnecessary, unhealthy “extras” found in other flavored waters like sugar, sodium, carbs, caffeine and gluten – giving you pure, refreshing taste.

 These drinks are super yummy and don't really taste like water they have a lot of flavor. Even my husband liked them and that is saying a lot he doesn't a lot of items I get but this one he sure loved. My daughter liked these to and for not having all the sugars, sodium, carbs, or caffeine these are pretty amazing.

CoddleLife Review/Giveaway

As a parent and like many others Anson Lam wants the best for his children. When his second child suffered terribly from colic and frequent ear infections, he and his wife tried many products to help their baby daughter. Losing sleep and night became overwhelming and no one in the family was getting much rest. It was only after using a fully vented bottle that eliminated the ingestion of air along with milk that their baby girl started to show significant reduction in colic and ear infection. The product they used worked well but their were so many parts to clean and sterilize. Then he realized their has to be a simpler more improved way to come up with a bottle that has less parts easier to clean that is just what he and other parents need.

It was at this time that Anson and his wife decided to create Coddlelife Bottles with a one piece venting nipple system
made of either high quality glass or polypropylene plastic.  Both glass and polypropylene are considered much safer
than polycarbonate material which had been the standard up until then.
Coddlelife products are BPA free containing no potentiallyare toxic ink, are affordable and high quality.  The bottles are designed with the latest nipple venting technology to reduce colic, ear infections, and burping and spit up. While other bottles on the market reduce colic. 

This bottle is great I love it. It is so durable Jordyn accidentally got a hold of it and dropped it and it didn't even break that says a lot for a glass bottle. The first time I fed Jayce with it he had to get use to it at first because the texture on the outside was a little different and the nipple was also shaped differently and now he takes right to it and likes it. I wish we would of had this at the beginning because Jayce had signs of colic and he spit up all the time. But that problem is solved now. Now I would like to review the Bloem Drying rack from Coddlelife.


Bloem Drying Rack:
The inspiration from their drying rack comes from a flower in full bloom. Simply unfolds into a bloom position no assembly required simply fit bottles and nipples and collars on the bloom sticks. The rack retails for $17.99. Some of it's features are:

* Easy to store and fold
* Can hold 12 bottles, nipples and collars
* Can also be used to dry cups and utensils
* Easy to use no assembly, one piece unit.


This is by far my favorite drying rack ever it does have a little water drip underneath it but nothing you can't wipe with a wet rag it holds so many items and I like the little nipple holder at the top and this doesn't have build up like other bottle holders and racks do. I can say I would absolutely recommend this to family and friends even strangers. I couldn't see how anyone wouldn't like this. 

Also special for my readers if you use coupon code " CL2012" for 20% off at checkout.


Now for the giveaway CoddleLife is sponsoring a great Giveaway today they are giving away both a glass bottle and this drying rack. Follow the Rafflecopter Below to find out how to win!!!!
