Keeping your car cool

 We are in the midst of summer and if you do a lot of traveling, driving your kids around to camps and activities or even commute back and forth to work then you know how quickly a vehicle can heat up.

Just a quick snap of your wrist, then set this sun shade into the window of your vehicle and you are on your way to a much cooler car when you return after your errand, work, or shopping.

It will be that much quicker for the vehicle to cool down with the air conditioner as well. Gas prices are still high so any savings in my pocket is worth the time it takes to put this sun shade to use.

Love that it comes with a bag to store it in before use. Not sure if anyone remembers the old cardboard car sun shades but they broke down, and took up lots of room in your vehicle. This sun shade by Alpha Shades is much easier to store and use.

You can purchase AlphaShades on Amazon.

Beer Growler

I had never heard of a Beer Growler before but just looking at it reminds me of the winos that you would see in black and white films, or old moon shine bottles. Even though my husband has beer from time to time, I see us using this more for water or hot chocolate. 

My husband said it kept his drink cool the full 24 hours and to be truthful I have only 2 water bottles out of many that can say the same so the quality is there. We didn't try hot liquids yet as we are in the middle of summer but will do soon as the cold weather comes around. 

Hot chocolate while watching a soccer or football games sounds good to me.

You can buy the Beer Growler on Amazon.

Sun Screen in a Pill

 I did a video review about this product on YouTube but wanted to update that I checked out this supplement, and what I am hearing is good including Dr.'s prescribing this for people like me who burn easily in the sun.

Great for those who sometimes forget, and for those busy moms like myself that so often slather the sunscreen on our children while forgetting ourselves.

I see my Dr. in a few weeks and will be checking to see if I can take this with my health issues and see what he and the pharmacist think and will report back with what they say.

Pain Relief Alternative

My husband injured his leg a few years back at work and has a much bigger tens unit made for his leg, but this tens unit is perfect for when my fibromyalgia is flaring up badly, or when I am having spasms.

This can sometimes mean the difference between a few days in bed and being able to make it down the stairs to sit with my family.

It is amazing what products are out their for pain. Medicine alone doesn't always touch the pain I have with Fibromyalgia, not that this takes it completely away but it does help with some of the pain I have.

Easy to set up, love the cord and pad holder very useful, and very different from others I have seen since it is digital.

You can purchase the  PM-120 Tens Unit Electronic Pulse Massager on Amazon.
