Family Circle Magazine Subscription For Free

Family Circle is an American women's magazine published 15 times a year by Meredith Corporation.  It began publication in 1932 as a magazine distributed at supermarkets such as Piggly Wiggly and Safeway.  Cowles Magazines and Broadcasting bought the magazine in 1962. The New York Times Company bought the magazine for its woman's magazine division in 1971. The division was sold to Gruner + Jahr in 1994. When Gruner + Jahr decided to exit the US magazine market in 2005, the magazine was sold to the Meredith Corporation.

The magazine is considered one of the "Seven Sisters", a group of seven women-oriented magazines, with the others being Ladies' Home Journal, McCall's, Good Housekeeping, Better Homes and Gardens, Woman's Day, and Redbook.  Family Circle also sponsors the Family Circle Cup in the Family Circle Magazine Stadium in Charleston, South Carolina, a WTA tennis tournament which is the only Tier I clay court tournament in the United States.  In November 2009, Family Circle launched their social network Momster.com for moms of tweens and teens.

Tai Pei 'Good Fortune in Every Box!'


I am a big fan of Asian food.  I recently discovered something in the grocery store that I am now addicted to.  This is a sponsored post.  I have been compensated for this post but the opinions expressed are my own.  Tai Pei frozen Asian-style entrees.  These entrees bring you "Good Fortune in Every Box".  They are available in both single-serve entrees and single-serve appetizers and also multi serve appetizers.  They are perfect for lunch or a quick dinner.  They are easy when you are on the go.  Tai Pei offers more excitement and adventure than your typical frozen food selections.  The entrees include Beef & Broccoli, Bourbon Chicken, Cashew Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Chow Mein, Combination Fried Rice, General Tso’s Chicken, Orange Chicken, Pepper Beef, Shrimp Fried Rice, Sweet & Sour Chicken, and Sweet Teriyaki Chicken.  The appetizers include Chicken Egg Rolls, Chicken Potstickers, Pork Egg Rolls, Pork Potstickers, Vegetable Egg Rolls, Battered Green Beans, Edamame, Mini Chicken Spring Rolls, Savory Chicken for Lettuce Wraps, Spicy Mini Chicken Egg Rolls, and Mini Vegetable Spring Rolls.  Tai Pei is a brand with over 20 years of experience creating authentic and innovative restaurant quality Asian style dishes.  They are made with Asian style signature sauces.  Offering a fun and flavorful authentic takeout Asian style experience at a fraction of the cost.

My favorite are their Tai Pei Asian Garden Products.  As you know I am eating healthier and watching my weight so these are perfect for me.  They are low in calories, fat and sodium.  The entrees are high in fiber and protein which is essential to my lifestyle.  I need the energy and I need to feel fuller longer.  The Tai Pei Asian Garden Products are available in eight flavor varieties.  These are Hunan Beef & Broccoli, Chicken Fried Rice, Spicy General Tso’s Chicken, Ginger Chicken, Glazed Chicken Potstickers, Mango Chicken, Sesame Chicken, and Orange Chicken.  Each entrĂ©e contains around 300 calories, 8 grams of fat or less, and real ingredients including lean meats, crispy vegetables, brown rice and whole grain noodles.  Each one comes in a unique single-serve takeout-style box makes portion control easy.

I love that these are so convenient.  I can have a quick lunch without having to order something or even leave my house to pick it up.  I have a coupon that will save you money on your next purchase of these delicious and healthy meals.  Just click here and print so you can save money when you head to the grocery store.  The coupon is for Buy 1 Get 1 Free which is a terrific savings.  That will get you two for the price of 1, you can't beat that.  So far I have tried four of the eight varieties and I am planning on getting more the next time I go to the grocery store.  I love having something that fits within my guidelines for calories and it's easy to heat and eat.  These entrees are so good you will feel like you are "cheating" on your diet but you are not.  You can make healthy choices that taste good and are easy too!

The Studio By Ellen Barrett Fusion Flow DVD Review



I love Ellen Barrett.  This workout is nothing like any of the others I have done by her before.  She is so talented.  Ellen knows how to get you in shape without making you feel stressed or frustrated.  The workout seems to be easy but that's deceptive because you are surely getting a great workout.  I have done this workout several times now and she really works you from head to toe.  I enjoy every minute of this routine. 
If you are looking to get fit and keep your mind at ease then Fusion Flow is the workout for you.  It's not like anything else you have tried because it firms effectively yet it softens your tension in your neck, shoulders and back.  I carry tension in my shoulders almost all the time and it really does release the tension after this workout.  By using a combination of seamless yoga, calisthenics and meditative breathing you will get your head to toe toning in a peaceful manner.

This DVD does not require any equipment.  You can do this anywhere, any time and you will see the results and feel them too.  Get ready to cinch your middle, sculpt your upper body and tighten your tush and the entire lower body as well.   This workout really does feel like a warm hug.  Not a round in the boxing ring.  Each day brings it's own challenges your workout doesn't have to be a battle.  This is literally exercise disguised as poetry in motion. 

The STUDIO by Ellen Barrett Fusion Flow workout showcases fusion fitness, the coming of many disciplines at once, from Pilates and yoga to Ballet and sports conditioning.  By doing this, we make more efficient and more enjoyable workouts that deliver a greater wellbeing.  (Dare I say workout perfection? After 15+ years in the fitness trenches, I think so!)

Total Fitness DVDs sent me this to review.  They have a terrific selection of workout DVDs to choose from with real customer reviews on their site to help you decide on which DVD is the right one for you.
