With the help of Nutrisystem, I made it through our multiple family Christmas celebrations making healthy food choices. Although I let myself have a few treats, I kept reminding myself that those few seconds of delight weren’t worth derailing my hard work. I am proud of my accomplishments. Speaking of accomplishments-  This week’s measurements show a loss of- 0 in my upper arms, 0 in chest, 0 in waist, 0 in my hips, .5 in my thighs, for a weekly total of .5 inch and an overall total of Read more [...]

When my Husband and I were married 6 years ago, we received a patio table and chair set for a wedding gift. We enjoy spending time outdoors so we were very excited to have this set. Unfortunately we didn’t have anywhere under-cover to store the set during our Oregon cold/wet months. Six years of being exposed to all the harsh weather elements caused some damage to the set. I contacted Empire Covers to see if they had a furniture cover that would help me extend the life of our patio table Read more [...]

This week, I want to share with you some of my favorite Nutrisystem lunches. My absolute favorite is the steak and cheese melt. This handy little pocket sandwich has beef steak, onions, peppers, mushrooms and reduced fat mozzarella cheese. I really like the spices used. It is a very comforting meal for me. My family finds it really funny that my favorite Nutrisystem meals are the beef meals. Prior to Nutrisystem, I really didn’t each much beef. When I at home, I also like the roasted veggie Read more [...]

We are a one income family. One of the ways we are able to stretch our monthly income is by purchasing products that multi task. We also try to choose products that are Eco-friendly. JAWS cleaners allow me to do both. For our review, we received JAWS Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner, Multi-Purpose Cleaner/Degreaser, Bathroom Cleaner/Deodorizer, and Disinfectant Cleaner/ Degreaser. The JAWS (Just Add Water System) is Eco-friendly, user- friendly and non-toxic. They have a refillable Read more [...]

I recently purchased all bamboo bedding. Because this was a significant financial investment for us, I wanted to make sure I ordered the right items. We have an older pillow-top mattress so I had a hard time deciding what size sheets to get. I have found that although our bed size is a standard queen, the queen size bedding with fitted pockets aren’t deep enough for our mattress. However, if I buy the next larger size bedding, it is too long for our bed. I decided that the lesser of two evils would Read more [...]

My Mom called me one day to tell me about a product she had seen on TV. She thought it was an innovate idea and really wanted to give it a try. I contacted the company and they were more than happy to send us one to try. For our review, we were sent a Magic Tap drink Dispenser. Here is what my Mom had to say about the Magic Tap- The Magic Tap drink dispenser is a brilliant idea. We have 5 grandkids in our family and it seems that at least one of them is thirsty for a drink about every 15 Read more [...]

Over the last few months, I have worked really hard to update my appearance. One easy way for me to feel more fashionable is by taking care of my nails. My trendy Sister-In-Law was telling me about gel manicures. I thought it sounded neat and decided to look into them. That’s when I found SensatioNails. SensatioNail is an at-home gel manicure system. Gel manicures provide a durable and longer lasting manicure. Gel polish can last up to two weeks and still look great. For my review, I received Read more [...]

This week, I want to share with you some of my favorite breakfast foods. I don’t usually have much time for breakfast even though I know that it is really important and should not be skipped. For my convenience, I choose breakfast foods that are quick and easy to prepare. I really like Nutrisystem’s pastries, French toast, pancakes and bagels. There is very little preparation in these meals and they can all be enjoyed while I am on the go. With Nutrisystem, my breakfast is healthy, fast, Read more [...]

Every year, I put a toothbrush and toothpaste in our Christmas stockings. I am not sure how that tradition got started in our family but I think it is a good one to keep. This year, I am giving Colgate products. Did you know Colgate was founded in 1806? Can you imagine what their oral care products looked like 206 years ago? Today, Colgate offers us high quality oral care products in a variety of sizes, shapes, designs, and flavors. For our review, we received the NEW One Direction Read more [...]
