Tracie Long Fitness DVD Review & Giveaway Ends 2/3/12 at 7 PM EST

I have been given two DVDs to review from Tracie Long Fitness.  They are the reBoot1 real evolution and Figure30 hips.  I have done each of the DVDs one time each and really got a great workout with both of them.

reBoot 1

Take your fitness to new heights with Tracie Long’s evolutionary approach to high intensity training. A catalyst for change, this 50 minute sweat fest will re-boot your metabolism and re-shape your body.

Long pairs explosive bodyweight movements with functional strength training to maximize caloric burn and break through plateaus.

Designed as a 50 minute total body workout, participants have the option of using one or more of the high intensity segments for a quick fix. Put a little zing back in your routine with this results driven workout.

It’s never too late to get back in your groove.

Includes:
50 minute workout with customizable chapters

Equipment:
2 sets of dumbbells, medium & heavy, mat 

I only have one set of 2 lb dumbbells so that is what I used.  This is an excellent workout.  I was definitely challenged throughout the entire workout.  I will enjoy this dvd for many more workouts.  It is fun and feels amazing once you have completed the entire workout you will be so proud of yourself.

Figure30 Hips

Fitness expert, Tracie Long, tackles the hips, one of the most common mobility deficient joints in the body, with this bold 30 minute shape-cinching workout.

“Moving the hips the way nature intended is a lost art,” says Long. “We take for granted that the hips will be able to transition from sitting for long periods of time to assisting in our daily multi-tasking, be it to carry groceries, tote a toddler or close a door.”

Long leads participants through a series of athletic and ballet inspired dynamic exercises to improve strength, balance, and flexibility from the hip joint. The winning combination of standing single leg work and floor work encourages the hips to move safely and readily through a full range of motion while creating a slenderized, slip-in- your-jeans, shape.

It’s never too late to get back in your groove.


Includes:
30 minute workout with customizable chapters

Equipment:
2 slides, dowel stick, mat 

This workout is amazing.  I really enjoyed it and felt great after doing the workout.

R and D Diet Cookie Review & Giveaway Ends 12/15/11 at 7 PM EST

Review: 

R and D Diet Cookie company sent me two different kinds of their cookies to try.  I tried the Oatmeal Raisin and the Pumpkin cookies.  I have to say that these cookies are really good and not too sweet.  They do not have a lot of carbs in them so they do not leave you feeling hungry in a few minutes after eating one.  I used them to feel full longer and cut back on bad snacking habits.  I am really impressed with how long each cookie lasted once I ate one.

Hunger will ruin any diet every time!  That's their motto and I agree.  If I get too hungry then I tend to binge.  With the R and D Cookie Diet you will not get too hungry.  Just eat another cookie.  I really felt full and didn't get overly hungry while using these cookies as a meal replacement.

Finally, we have an affordable, natural food that is nutritional, filling, satisfying, tasty, and convenient that will elliminate hunger and allow us to take control of our diet so that we can lose weight rapidly!  This cookie and diet was named for the intensive Research and Development (R&D) project that created it.

The cookies are engineered to control hunger and cravings but they are also good for you.  They are packed with protein, fiber, and good carbs, low on sodium and are naturally low in cholesterol.  The oil I use is lower in saturated fat than conventional cooking and salad oils and is made from all natural soy, olive, and canola.  It's an excellent source of Omega-3's and Vitamin E.  I use a mixture of proteins from a number of sources including whey and soy.  Great developments have been made in the manufacture of proteins in the last decade and I remain diligent in using only the best and most effective proteins available.  The "secret" of the effectiveness of our cookies is the formulation of amino acids and proteins we use along with fiber and the absence of any ingredient that promotes hunger.  There is no animal product except for whey protein so the cookies are considered vegetarian.

You can enter to win a weeks supply of cookies in the giveaway below.  Thank you for reading my blog and participating.

Dale and Thomas Popcorn Review

I have been given the opportunity to review Dale and Thomas Popcorn again.  I am so thrilled.  They have the best popcorn ever.  It was one of Oprah's favorite things a few years back.  I received the Sparkling Snowflake Six-Bag Sampler to taste and review.  It came in a nice box that would be a perfect gift already wrapped and ready to give for a Christmas present.  I know that anyone who gets this sampler will be very happy with it. 

Doesn't that box look nice?  The popcorn inside is delicious which is the best part.  The flavors I tried were Hall of Fame Kettle Corn, Southwest Cheddar Chipotle, Chocolate Chunk N'Caramel, Peanut Butter & White Chocolate DrizzleCorn, Twice-As-Nice Chocolate DrizzleCorn and Dale's Caramel.  Each bag is more than one serving but it's so hard to put down.  My absolute favorite is the White Chocolate DrizzleCorn.  I could have it each and every day of my life and never get tired of it.  This is really amazing popcorn.  I shared with my friends and family and we all agree that Dale and Thomas is the best popcorn we have ever had.  You can purchase the Sparkling Snowflake Six-Bag Sampler for $29.95 via Dale and Thomas' website.  Also, make sure to check out Dale and Thomas on Facebook for updates, deals and promotions!


I received the sample to review.  I was not compensated for this post in any other way.  The opinions expressed above are my own.

Gourmet Gift Baskets Christmas Gift Basket Classic Review

Gourmet Gift Baskets.com mailed a Christmas Gift Basket Classic for my to review on my blog.  I was contacted by them and they asked if I would like to do a review and I said yes of course.  I have worked with them in the past and the experience was delightful so I couldn't wait to work with them again.  I love companies that are trustworthy and have top notch customer service.  I love the quality of their products and the quality of their service.  This is a company that I love!

Doesn't that basket look amazing?!  We were so excited the day it arrived.  My family loves a treat and so do I.  We immediately tore into it and tried the Chocolate Cherries.  This was something new for us we have never had them before, they are really good.  I am not a huge fan of cherries, but I enjoyed the Chocolate Cherries that came in this gift basket.  The gift basket arrived in perfect condition.  It was beautifully wrapped with a superb bow tied around it.  This is a gift basket company that you can trust to deliver a wonderful gift basket on time and in perfect condition to a friend, family member or anyone else you need to send a gift to. 

Here's what they say about this gift basket on their website:

One of our most popular Christmas designs, the Christmas Gift Basket Classic is an excellent choice for the home or office. Why? Each Christmas Basket contains a variety of award-winning gourmet snacks that appeal to a wide variety of tastes. With gourmet snacks including a chocolate covered cherries, dark chocolate bar, chocolate chip cookies, almond clustered popcorn, raspberry honey mustard pretzel dip along with pretzels and so much more! So, if you want to send a gift that everyone will love, send one of these delicious Christmas Gift Baskets!

It includes the following:
· Almond Pecan-dy Crunch by Morley Candy Makers - 9.25 oz. - This ultra-luxurious candy crunch is made by covering gourmet popcorn and pecans in a rich, smooth caramel glaze.
· Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies by J&M Foods - 6 oz. - Made with only the finest of natural ingredients, these cookies will satisfy even the most discerning chocoholic.
· Dipping Pretzels by East Shore Specialty Foods - 6 oz. - These extraordinary pretzels are the perfect unsalted snack!
· Robert Rothschild Farm Raspberry Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip - 7.8 oz. - This gourmet raspberry honey mustard dip adds a flavorful zing to pretzels, and goes especially well with the East Shore Specialty Foods Dipping Pretzels that we have included in our Gift Baskets for Christmas.
· Salted Peanuts in Box by Feridie's - 7 oz. – Only the finest peanuts, flavored with salt, these gourmet snacks are just as Mother Nature intended.
· Signature Dark Chocolate Bar by Lake Champlain - 3 oz. - This decadent and complex dark chocolate bar will satisfy the cravings of even the most discerning chocolate lover.
· Buttered Peanut Crunch by Old Dominion Peanut Company - 10 oz. - This flavorful peanut crunch is made with only top of the line gourmet peanuts, brown sugar, and “AA” grade butter. Taste them and you will understand that the best ingredients create the best peanut crunch!
· Metropolitan Trail Mix by GourmetGiftBaskets.com - 4 oz. - Our proprietary blend of nuts and dried fruit is a delicious and surprisingly healthy snack.
· Parmesan Artichoke & Garlic Cheese Biscuits by Salem Baking Company - 1.5 oz. - These crumbly biscuits will melt in your mouth leaving a trail of flavor to be savored.
· Chocolate Covered Cherries by Marich - 2.3 oz. - These indulgent gourmet chocolate covered cherries are one of the favorite snacks in our line of Holiday Gift Baskets.

My whole family has enjoyed each of the items in the gift basket.  They are all quality products that taste delicious.  The Metropolitan Trail Mix was another family favorite as well as the Buttered Peanut Crunch.  We finished the basket off within a few days.  The pretzels were the last to go, but we always have pretzels on hand so they weren't as much of a novelty as the rest of the items in the gift basket.  The pretzels were really good though, we loved them, especially using the dip with them.  They were amazing! 

I am very please with this gift basket and will most likely send one or more this holiday season.  You can connect with this amazing company on facebook, twitter or even on their blog.

Peanut Butter Baking Mix Assortment Review and Giveaway Ends 11/24/11 at 7 PM EST

Review:

Peanut Butter & Co sent me the Baking Mix Assortment to review and they have also offered one for me to giveaway.  I used the long weekend to bake the three items so that I can give you a review.  The assortment includes peanut butter cookies, chocolate peanut butter cupcakes and peanut butter brownies.  First I baked the cupcakes.  I followed the instructions on the box and the cupcakes themselves turned out great.  I messed up with the frosting and didn't follow the instructions correctly.  I poured all the milk in instead of adding it a bit at the time the way the instructions stated.  So the frosting was too runny.  We ended up eating the cupcakes without the frosting on them.  But it tasted great and if I had followed the directions I am sure it would have been amazing.

Peanut Butter Baking Mix Assortment

• Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies Baking Mix
• Rich & Tasty Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies Baking Mix
• Mighty Fine Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes Baking Mix

Next I made the peanut butter cookies.  These are easy to prepare and possible the best peanut butter cookies I have ever had.  My husband and I really enjoyed these cookies.  The peanut butter brownies were also a huge hit.  I followed the directions and they turned out so delicious.  I loved this gift assortment and I know you will enjoy it as well.  If you would like to enter to win one just enter the giveaway below.

Ozeri Duo Ultra Salt and Pepper Grinder Review & Giveaway Ends 11/17/11 at 7 PM EST

Review:

Ozeri sent me their Duo Ultra Salt and Pepper Grinder to review and they have also offered one to giveaway as well.  

About Ozeri

Ozeri originally started out supplying products to the vacation residence market such as luxury spa resorts, private resorts and other vacation destinations, but the company has now ventured into the consumer market. Ozeri sells products with award winning designs, innovative materials and durable construction, and Ozeri keeps the price of its products low. The price is kept low thanks to Ozeri's non-traditional marketing strategy, which does not include regular advertising. Instead Ozeri sells its products based on its reputation from guests around the world who have had a positive experience with the Ozeri products. 

I didn't already have a salt and pepper grinder so I was excited to get this and try it out.  I really didn't know that I was going to like it until I gave it a try.  I have really enjoyed having it and using it.  It was slightly complicated to fill it up but once I figured out how to fill the grinder without getting the salt and pepper mixed up I really enjoyed it.  It's a nice size too.  It's about the size of a small jar.  Not too big and not too small, just the right size to fit nicely on the counter or in the cabinet between uses.

I love that this Duo Ultra Salt and Pepper Grinder has powerful ceramic gears for ease of use, it has a newly designed unique easy refill system that prevents spills, it's durable eco-friendly ceramic mechanism easily grinds peppercorns, salt, and spices, and it features an elegant stainless-steel exterior with an ergonomic non-slip grip.  Another thing that I love about it is the transparent container makes monitoring pepper level
easy and reveals the grinding action.

Crunchmaster Review & Giveaway Ends 10/30/11 at 7PM EST

Crunchmaster's Story

It’s a long way from the rice fields that surround Niigata along the coast of northern Japan, where the art of handcrafting, aging, baking (on open grills) and perfecting rice crackers has long been passed down from generation to generation.  At Crunchmaster, we’re committed to fusing the tradition of the East with the tempting taste sensations of the West to give you authentic, all natural snacks that not only taste great, but are better for you.  Using our exclusive, proprietary rice baking techniques, we craft our baked rice crackers in the "Usuyaki" style (that’s Japanese for thin and flat) tradition, using pure, all natural ingredients. The result? Great tasting crackers with an incredible crunch!

I received two packages of Crunchmaster crackers to sample and review.  I tried the Gluten Free Crunchmaster White Cheddar Multi-Grain Crackers first.

Crunchmaster’s white cheddar flavored multi-grain crackers are rich, flavorful, and light.  These thin crackers are filled with good grains and seeds, like sesame seeds, quinoa, flax, corn, and rice while still maintaining an awesome flavor and crunch.  Each serving is only 120 calories, which is awesome since you get to eat about 15 crackers in one serving  Crunchmaster’s white cheddar crackers are fairly low in sodium and a good source of fiber.

I took the bag with me to work and had them mid-morning when hunger strikes.  I love that they have little seeds embedded in them.  They would also be good with cheese on them or maybe even a slice of ham or something like that.  As soon as I can find a store that carries these I will be getting some more!  I love these crackers. 

The next package of crackers that I tried were the Crunchmaster 7 Ancient Grains Hint of Sea Salt.  These are also gluten free.  Crunchmaster 7 Ancient Grains crackers are made with 100% whole grains including brown rice, sorghum, quinoa, sesame, millet, flax and amaranth. The crackers are also oven-baked and contain low sodium, making them an ideal snack option for consumers who need to avoid gluten or simply want a nutritious alternative to traditional processed wheat crackers.

I also really enjoyed these crackers.  I ate them with soup and with cheese.  They are wonderfully tasty and crunchy.  I am very impressed with the Crunchmaster crackers that I tried and I can't wait to try them all.  If you would like to try some of these superb crackers just enter to win a couple packages of Crunchmaster crackers below in my giveaway.


Giveaway: (in order to enter giveaways you must publicly follow this blog on google friend connect, leave a separate comment for each entry you complete, put your email address in your comment if it's not visible on your blogger profile, no po boxes, contiguous USA only please)

Tropical Traditions Coconut Flakes Review & Giveaway Ends 10/06/11 at 7 PM EST

Tropical Traditions does not disappoint.  I received a gallon of organic coconut flakes to review and they have also offered one to giveaway.

Tropical Traditions 100% natural Shredded Coconut, Coconut Flakes, and Coconut Chips are made from organic dried coconuts in the Philippines that are grown with no fertilizers or pesticides. This premium dried coconut contains no additives or preservatives, and is not sweetened. Unlike most dried coconut on the market, our dried coconut products are not treated with sulfites to keep them white. They are a great addition to recipes and baking, or just for snacks! Note: The Shredded Coconut is a very small cut, suitable for baking, such as making macaroons. The Coconut Flakes are a larger shredded coconut cut, perfect for garnishing or toppings, such as the top of a coconut cream pie. The Coconut Chips are a much larger cut that can be used as a snack food. You can mix them with nuts and dried fruit, for example.

My family and I have really enjoyed these organic coconut flakes in everything we have tried them in.  I tried the coconut milk this morning.  I put some flakes and water into the blender and had coconut milk, it was delicious.   I also tried the macaroons.  I brought them to work and everyone just loved them.  I am very impressed with the quality of the products at Tropical Traditions.  I always love them more than I expect to.  If you would like to win a gallon of organic coconut flakes enter the giveaway below.

Newman's Own Organics Review & Giveaway Ends 10/03/11 at 7 PM EST

Newman's Own Organics sent me a box full of their products to sample and review.  I was so surprised at the amount of stuff they sent.  They sent a huge selection of their wonderful products.  I received Pretzels, Chocolate Bars, Fig Newmans™, Ginger Snaps, Newman-O's,  Dried Fruit ,Hermits, Licorice, and Mints.

The Hermits are my husband's favorite.  He couldn't stop eating them until they were all gone.  These are his favorite new snack.  He prefers the ginger but they are all good. 

The apricots and berry blend are really good for snacking on the go.  Dried fruit is an easy way to get some extra fruit in your day.  We loved both the berry blend and apricots. 

I am a big fan of mints.  I like to have a mint with me at all time to keep my breath fresh.  I received a package of all four kinds of mints.  These are some really good mints.  I enjoyed all of the flavors.

Of course the chocolate is our favorite thing to sample.  The espresso was my favorite and the orange was my husband's.  We are not typically fans of dark chocolate but this is the best dark chocolate we have ever had.  It tastes so clean and natural.  We enjoyed every bite of each of the chocolate bars.
