Weight Watcher's Punch Kit Review & Giveaway Ends 01/16/13 at 7 PM EST

Weight Watchers has recently released the Punch Kit which includes a full length DVD, adjustable weighted gloves and a 10 week exercise tracker.  I have had this almost a month and done all 3 of the complete workouts.  I really enjoy each of the workouts.  I am an intermediate exerciser after working out almost daily for the past year.  These workouts do get my heart rate up and they are fun too.  I will most likely stick to their advanced workout from now on but for the review I wanted to get a feel for all of the workouts on the DVD.

I had a lot of fun with this one and I enjoy the weights.  They are nice to use for other exercises as well.  Punching is fun to get the aggression and stress out.  The holidays can be a stressful time and it's nice to have my workouts to relieve the stress and combat the holiday eating too!

Whole Fruit Sorbet Review & Giveaway Ends 01/15/13 at 7 PM EST

J&J Snack Foods sent a variety of their Whole Fruit Sorbet for us to review.  We received the mango, lemon, strawberry, raspberry and black cherry flavored sorbets to try.  I tried the lemon first because I absolutely love lemon.  I was pleasantly surprised at how good these were.  I enjoyed all the various flavors that I tried.  I typically am not a fan of cherry but I even enjoyed the black cherry. 

Everyone in my family that has had the chance to try these sorbets has loved them.  They also have peach and Valencia orange flavors that we haven't had the chance to try yet, but I know that we will love them all.  They are naturally fat free and only about 150 calories per 1/2 cup serving.  Each serving is 25% of your daily recommended Vitamin A and 10% Vitamin C, which if you compared that to the typical bowl of ice cream, you would come to the conclusion that Whole Fruit products are much better for you.

If you would like to enter to win a sampler pack like the one I received just enter the giveaway below.  You will love the Whole Fruit Sorbet just like me and my family do!

Superpretzel Pretzel Dogs Review & Giveaway Ends 1/14/13 at 7 PM EST

Review:

This has been such a fun month.  I received some samples to review from Sueprpretzel.  This time I got the PretzelDogs which are bite-sized hot dogs bundled up in a toasty pretzel crust. PretzelDogs are made with a unique soft pretzel dough and are available in two varieties: Original and Cheddar Cheese. They are made with the highest quality ingredients, including top quality beef with no by-product. PretzelDogs make perfect minimeals, anytime snacks, or appetizers. They are microwaveable and ready in seconds.  Each box contains 12 PretzelDogs.  These are so easy to prepare and they are delicious.  I highly recommend these PretzelDogs for your next get together or party!

My favorite are the cheddar cheese, but I loved both varieties.  These are so good.  Just heat and eat.  I love how great they taste.  I am such a huge fan of the PretzelDog, these are on my grocery list right now so I will pick up a few boxes on my next shopping trip.

Oral-B Professional Precision 5000 Review

I have been using the Oral-B Professional Care Smart Series 5000 for the past two weeks every time I brush.  I typically brush twice a day, sometimes a third time.  I am meticulous when it comes to my oral care.  I go to the dentist twice a year and always have glowing reports about the way I maintain healthy teeth and gums between visits.  Before I got this spectacular new toothbrush I was using an electric disposable toothbrush. 

The Oral-B Professional Precision 5000 rechargeable toothbrush is so much better than my prior toothbrush.  I really love the timer that helps me get my full two minutes of brushing in.  I have only been using this for two weeks but I can tell that it's really an improvement from the toothbrush I used to use.  I can tell that my teeth seem cleaner and whiter.  This brush will even indicate when it's time to change the brush head, which is wonderful for me because I am bad about remembering to do those kinds of things.

This Oral-B Professional Precision 5000 will improve the cleanliness of my teeth and help me brush for the time that it takes to get a clean mouth, teeth and gums.  I am so happy that I have a new toothbrush that I love and that I can't wait to use each morning and evening.

When I use this brush I can tell that it has the most up to date technology.  I love that it signals when I need to switch quadrants so I can spend an equal amount of time on each quadrant in my mouth.  No quadrant will be neglected.  This brush also warns when I am brushing too hard. 

Oral-B is offering a $20 mail-in rebate on select power toothbrushes November 18  through December 31, 2012. Please visit OralB.com for more information

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Modern Mom on behalf of Oral-B and received a product sample to facilitate my review.

Sticky Situations

Sticky situations happen.  If you are like me they happen more than you would like.  I know that it's not always easy but in a sticky situation it's best not to get too angry.  Try to remain calm and just fix the situation rather than saying or doing something you may regret later on.  My tips are to do what you can to avoid the situations in the first place and to remain calm if and when a sticky situation does occur.

We have all had those days when we discover that we have left something within reach of children and left the little ones unattended to wreak havoc on an area of the house.  I also have had sticky situations created by pets.  I have to keep pens, markers, art supplies and things like that out of our children's reach so that if left unattended for a few minutes they do not have access to these kinds of things.

Have you ever gone to take a shower only to find out when you get out that the permanent markers have been found and used on the walls or furniture?  Wet Ones is having a contest on facebook that you can share your Sticky Situation for a chance to win an iPad or tickets to Six Flags.  I just went over there and entered the contest, it's easy to enter and who knows one of use might win something!

Wet Ones and Mom Central have given us the opportunity to share all of the Sticky Situations we have found ourselves in and then those life saving tips on how to deal with them through their fun Facebook Contest!


I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Wet Ones. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating www.momcentralconsulting.com

Weight Watchers Belly, Butt & Thighs Kit Review & Giveaway Ends 12/30/12 at 7PM EST

Have fun getting in shape with the Weight Watchers Belly, Butt, & Thighs Kit. It comes with a workout DVD featuring three complete workouts to guide your exercise sessions. This women's workout kit includes a 65cm anti-burst ball that targets the belly, butt and thighs. It increases stability, tones your core strength and stretches the entire body. The Weight Watchers fitness kit also features a stability ring to cradle the ball and prevent it from rolling away. The included hand pump helps you inflate the ball when needed. This fitness kit has a 10-week exercise tracker to help you monitor your progress throughout the program.

Weight Watchers Belly, Butt, & Thighs Kit:

3 complete workouts

Includes anti-burst exercise ball, stability ring, a hand pump and a 10-week exercise tracker

Tones while improving your core strength and overall body

Workouts range from 30 to 45 minutes

Fun and effective for a variety of ages

Review:

I have done all three workouts one time.  I started out with the ball not inflated enough and that really makes a difference, so make sure that you get it nice and inflated before you workout.  I am a bit tall and maybe could use a bigger ball but I am able to use this one for an effective workout.  The only reason I mention it is because the ball on the DVD looks so much bigger compared to the ladies that are using it than it does compared to me.  I am 5'9" though and really have no idea how tall the women in the DVD are.

I have had a stability ball before but this is the first time I have actually attempted to do a workout routine with it.  I am hooked.  I worked muscles that I haven't worked with my other fitness DVDs.  I am impressed with the cues and the woman that leads is clear and concise too.  It's easy to follow and fun.  There is a woman doing the modifications for those of us who aren't advanced yet.  I am able to do everything with the advanced version but the side ab work.  I kept feeling like I was slipping off the ball.  I am sure that once I get the hang of it I will be able to do the whole workout.
