Fruit and Tea Tumbler


A new idea for our family. We have been infusing water with fruit, but we hadn't tried to infusing tea with fruit. Oh my it is so good and just as easy as it is when you do water.

Love the glass bottle, kind of like drinking out of a tall mason jar. We were looking for a change from infused water and we have found it. We have even started infusing different fruit with lemonade. Yummy.

The metal mesh keeps the fruit or tea if you are using fresh tea leaves from going into your mouth while drinking the tea. What I love most is that I can still use herbal tea bags, or even decaffeinated tea so I can enjoy a nice cool drink.

You can purchase the Ephistica Infusion Bottle on Amazon.

Sophisticated glass and bamboo glass tumbler for Tea and Fruit infusions , Double glass wall for insolation - efficient and ecofriendly! Keeps warm drinks for up to two hours.

Have Bands will travel





The FitWellYou Resistance Band Set somewhat reminds me of the set of cords my mother had that she attached to the door to do exercises while I was growing up. I always wanted a set. This is not the same exact thing but close enough until I find that one, if they even make it anymore. 

Resistance bands are nice because you can start with light and move up at your own pace to the heavy if you ever even make it that far. I have Fibromyalgia so I am at the light most of the time and on good days I am able to go to medium but no heavy for me, maybe never but it is there to use for my older children who borrow this from time to time to do their own exercises. 

Easy to set up, only takes  a little bit of room. No more huge gym sets to get in the way. These are also portable so you can take it with you on vacation. One word of caution, make sure you lock the door that you will be using this on or attach to a room that does not have anyone inside so you know you won't have any guests dropping in or more likely an unwanted fall on your part.

You can find the FitWellYou Resistance Band Set on Amazon.
What Fit Well you has to say about their product.

Allprovide Dog Food



Every dog is different and apparently mine who is a Saint Bernard that we named Princess Goliath is one of those different ones. She has always been a picky eater but we want to feed her as healthy as we can because we want her around for a long time.

Maybe it is because she is picky or just set in her ways at the ripe age of 7 human years. I'm not sure but she wouldn't go for this cooked, raw, mixed with her food nothing.

We did however find out that our Cats enjoy this very much. Although they won't eat out of Dog's bow. They take a little bit out at a time with their paws to eat until it is all gone.

We now of course just put the meat in their bowls so they don't make such a mess, but hey like I said each dog is different.

I see most dog go crazy over rawhide, raw bones, dog snacks, etc. We have always had a hard time getting our Saint to chew on these things. We have to cook her bones then she will eat them, she only eats a very few snacks that are made for dogs, but she sure enjoys the snacks we eat as humans.

Secretly I think she thinks she is a human, shh don't tell her I told you she really is a dog. Anyways this food is great with the first ingredient being meat which all dog owners want for their pets. Most dogs like raw meat which this is the way Allprovide is to eventually be given to your pet if they already don't eat a raw diet.

It comes quickly to your door in a cardbox box, that has a styrofoam box inside of, there you will find the meat shipped with dry ice (warning do not handle dry ice with bare hands). From there just place it in your freezer until you are ready to use it. You can defrost in the microwave in the pouch the meat comes in. Remember this is raw meat so make sure to wash your hands, utensils, and pets bowl when done.

Even though this did not work out with our pet doesn't mean it is not the right food for your pet. Growing up the dogs we had all loved to eat raw meat she is just a bit different like I said. The name Princess went straight to her head.

Blueberry infused water.



I have never been a big water drinker but that all changed when I started to infuse my water with fruit. I have all kinds of water infusion bottles, some I love, others I tossed, and yet other that are my favorites. For the most part I like something about all of them. I like the the way this water bottle sits on a flat surface, the handle, and of course how large the fruit infusion part is.

Right now blueberries are in season so my water is mainly infused with blueberries. Easy to use, easy to wash, and you can be sure to have a healthier drink in minutes, just by tossing some fruit in the infusion basket. Way better then soda, or other sugary drinks, better for your body too.

Vitamin D Gummy Bears



Personally I would have to eat pretty much the whole bottle at I need 84,000 IU a week just to keep my vitamin D levels showing.

Because my numbers are so low I make sure that my children take a Vitamin D supplement so they don't face the problems I have had in my adult hood.

I grew up on  a farm drinking raw milk, and because I was a sickly child to begin with I didn't see much sun because I was always told by the Dr.'s to stay inside away from those who would get me sick. My immune system has never been strong to begin with. So here I am an adult that has had their store of Vitamin D dwindled over the years to the point where I need to take my vitamins trying to make my numbers go higher each time I am tested. I am still on the low side but my numbers aren't as low as they one were. Every higher number is a big achievement.

These vitamins are pretty good tasting had to try one before I would let my kids take them. They also take them no problem. The downside is I don't like that they look like candy so we had to have a big talk with my younger girls that they are in the medicine box for a reason. They are medicine not candy and can only be taken with an adult present.


You can purchase the Vitamin Dc 800 IU Gummies on Amazon.

✔ A fun and delicious way to get your daily Vitamin D.
✔ 100% Gluten Free and Gelatin Free. Made with natural flavors and colors. Contains no milk, egg or peanut or soy.
✔ Perfect for both kids and adults. Each ingredient is carefully chosen to help promote a healthy mind and body.
✔ A more enjoyable, yummier alternative to taking pills or dry chewables.
✔ Made in the USA, in a GMP certified facility.

Clever Yoga Mat Strap Made of Best Durable Cotton Giveaway





So our family dabble in Yoga and I never thought I would actually lose a mat strap but alas my girls took our mats outside to do yoga on the front lawn and one strap never made it back inside and can not be found anywhere in the yard. I was thinking that there was no way I could replace it and would have to resort to tying a string or using a rubber band to hold my mat in between use. 

Thanks to Clever Yoga I was able to find a strap within my price range and it works great. It even had a longer strap on it so I can carry my mat. Actually better then the strap that came with my mat. I am so happy and so is my mat.

Stretch Mark Cream





For me putting lotion on my belly when I became pregnant was a normal thing to do. My mom said if I did so I wouldn't have as many stretch marks. Well she was right and even though I am quite overweight I don't have as many stretch marks as I see more fit women have.

If you already have stretch marks this cream will work as well to help lessen the look of the marks. Best if used once a day and in about a month you should see a difference, Remember scars or stretch marks exposed to sun make them look worse over time, so keep them out of the sun for the best results.

Great smelling formula, easy to use bottle, and can be used twice daily.
