Mr. Chewy Website Review: Pet Food, Pet Treats, Cat Litter, Pet Supplies Delivered Right To Your Door!

2012-01-25T14:51:00.000-07:00

   Mr. Chewy is the online place to go to order pet food, pet treats, cat litter, pet supplies and much more! Mr. Chewy is the place to go to order your animals shopping list from the comfort of your own home. No more going to the store when you run out of food for your animals! No more carrying heavy pet food bags! Mr. Chewy offers 70+ brands of pet food & other pet supplies and delivers it conveniently to their customer's door.

     I really like Mr. Chewy because I have shoulder pains and I'm not able to go to the store to shop for my animals. Carrying and lifting litter for my cats, and animal food hurts my body. I'm glad that, I know, that I can count on Mr. Chewy to ship my animals necessities right to the door!

     Shipping at Mr. Chewy is amazing! I ordered my shipment during a weekend and I received my package within just a few days! The package was packaged safely.

I was able to order a variety of pet items from Mr. Chewy for my four animals! The Mr. Chewy website was easy to navigate. The categories include: cat treats, cat food, dog food, dog treats, potty pads, cat litter, fleas & ticks, and shop all brands! I was able to find all of my pets favorites at Mr. Chewy and I was also able to find my pets some new favorites that I haven't purchased before.

My cats love Fancy Feast wet food! My cats receive this as a big treat! I'm so glad that Mr. Chewy carries Fancy Feast food! Mr. Chewy also offers a huge variety of other wet food for cats. Mr. Chewy carries different brands and flavors so there's a wet food for every cat out there. Mr. Chewy also offers a wide variety of dry cat food.

I love giving Lucky dental treats to help clean his teeth and freshen up his breath a bit. Lucky jumps for joy begging for these treats whenever I pull them out! I received the Pedigree Dentastix and the Greenies Dental Treats For Dogs. Lucky enjoyed both brands. He loves chewing on them and I love that the dental treats help his teeth to become healthier. I love that the Greenies Dental Treats have a resealable package keeping the treats fresh longer. The bag came with 20 dental treats inside. The Pedigree Dentastix does not have the feature to reseal the package, which I wish it had. The bag came with 10 dental treats.

I also received Feline Greenies brand of cat dental treats. I received the tuna flavor and the chicken flavor. I have never given this brand to my cats before. My two cats loved these crunchy treats. The Greenies cat treats are resealable and keep the treats fresh. I don't give my Rocky cat crunchy treats because his canine teeth are broken and I don't want them to get worse so he only receives soft treats.

    I found a chicken breast jerky treat for Lucky, my dog. The brand is Dogswell. This treat caught my eyes because this treat is a healthy choice and contains flaxseed and vitamins. The package says these treats help maintain eyes, coat, and skin. Lucky has had some skin sores called hot spots before so maybe this will help the sores, before they start. Lucky also has a start of cloudy eyes so I'm hoping this treat will help Lucky's eyes so they don't get worse. Lucky loves this treat and loves to scarf down the chicken breast jerky super fast!

     Mr. Chewy has great prices that are very reasonable and are cheaper than pet store prices. I also love the fact that Mr. Chewy offers FREE shipping on orders over $49. When checking out, the option is given to schedule another shipping date to purchase and receive the same products so you never run out of food again! Awesome!

   Mr. Chewy offers a Refer Your Friends Donation Program! Refer friends and have them receive 10% off their first order. Mr Chewy will then donate $10 to a partner charity that you choose! I love companies that give back!

   I had a fabulous experience with Mr. Chewy! Mr. Chewy has great customer service, friendly service, amazing shipping, a great website, awesome products that my animals LOVE, and are just a fantastic online store that everyone who has pets should visit! I definitely recommend this company to you!!!

     Visit MrChewy.com to see all the wonderful pet products they have to offer.

   Stay updated with Mr. Chewy by liking Mr. Chewy on Facebook!

Thank you Mr. Chewy for making my animals excited & happy!

Farm Rich Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks Appetizer Review

2012-01-17T12:23:00.002-07:00

Farm Rich has been making their customers happy for over 25 years by making delicious snacks, appetizers, and breakfast foods. Farm Rich products are made with 100% real ingredients like high-quality meats, real cheese, and fresh vegetables.

Here are the great products that Farm Rich offers:

Cheese Sticks
Mini Pizza Slices
Mozzarella Bites
Philly Cheese Steaks
Stuffed Pretzel Bites
Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks
Mini Quesadillas
Jalapeno Peppers
Mushrooms
Original French Toast Sticks
Cinnamon Sprinkle French Toast Sticks
Mini Bacon Cheeseburgers
Meatballs
Turkey Meatballs
Italian Style Meatballs
Queso Cheese Bites

Farm Rich was nice to send me a free coupon so I could choose a product, out of the amazing line of products, from Farm Rich. I chose to review the Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks. This appetizer caught my eyes because I'm a marinara lover and I love to dip my cheese sticks into marinara sauce! I was curious on how these cheese sticks would taste with marinara sauce inside of the cheese sticks!

Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks

If our Mozzarella Bites are cousins to our Cheese Sticks, then our Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks are their siblings. The only difference between the two is that the marinara sauce is already baked in, so your kids or your guests won’t have to dip them first. This means they’ll be in people’s mouths quicker and probably even a little bit neater, too.

Made with 100% real mozzarella cheese
Authentic marinara sauce baked right in
Good source of calcium and protein
Convenient, resealable packaging
0g Trans Fat per Serving

The Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks are easy to make and bake within 12-13 minutes. The sticks can also be fried by frying 10 sticks for 3-3:30 minutes. The bag contains 19-23 marinara stuffed mozzarella sticks.

I was very happy that I chose the Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks to review! The Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks have an amazing cheesy marinara taste that is perfect! The mozzarella sticks are so tasty that I wanted more and more! This is an appetizer where you have to have more than just one! Taste buds will keep asking for more!

I love that the marinara sauce is embedded right inside the cheese sticks. No more messy marinara sauce! No more double dipping! No more worrying about dipping sauces! These cheese sticks are mess free! The marinara sauce stays inside the cheese sticks and does not make a mess!

I'm usually not a fan of regular cheese sticks, but I can tell you that I am now a new fan of the Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks. I really enjoy these sticks so much more than regular cheese sticks!

I can't wait to purchase another bag of Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks to have a delicious snack on hand at home!

Farm Rich has awesome appetizers and snacks for your next party! Visit Farm Rich today to see all their delicious products.

We recommend the Farm Rich Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks.

ABOUT SUPER

"A decade ago, Dr. Nicholas Perricone pioneered a simple but powerful concept. Some foods are dramatically better than others for healthy aging and beautiful skin. He called them Superfoods. Inspired by a passion to feed hungry skin, Dr. Nicholas Perricone introduces SUPER, a nourishing feast of skin care. Derived from the world's most powerful superfoods + proprietary sciences, SUPER allows you to indulge your craving for beautiful skin.

- Acai puts the Anti in aging

- Watercress whisks away toxins

- Coconut quenches thirsty skin

- Chia means mega moisture

- Melon brings out brightness

- Apple Controls Clarity

- Yogurt soothes sensitive skin

     I have recently learned that astaxanthin for skin is essential for avoiding fine lines. Astaxanthin is a natural skin protector that improves skin elasticity and increases moisture retention. Super offers products with astaxanthin in them to help skin avoid lines.

    Do you know the health benefits of chia seeds? I'm not to familiar with chia seeds, but I have recently learned that chia seed is great for the skin to help moisturize. Chia delivers more Omega-3 than flax or fish, satisfying skin’s craving for moisture. Chia seeds offers a mega moisturizing experience.

Alexia All Natural Foods - Harvest Saute Side Dish Review

2012-01-09T09:42:00.000-07:00

Alexia is a company that offers all natural foods that are delicious in every way! Alexia offers products like appetizers, artisan breads, potatoes, oven baked french fries, sweet potatoes, and vegetable side dishes. Alexia was founded in 2002 and produces a full line of 100% all-natural with 0 grams of trans fat. Alexia puts taste and quality first. They conquer that by using all natural foods and using real ingredients.

Onion Rings, Mozzarella Stix, Yukon Gold Fries, Crinkle Cut Sweet Potato Fries, Sweet Potato Puffs, and Whole Grain Rolls are just a few products from Alexia that I'm dying to try!

I'm a vegetable lover! I grew up eating many different kinds of vegetables out of the garden. I was excited when I received the Harvest Saute to review. I wanted to see how these vegetables would taste compared to the normal frozen vegetables.

Harvest Saute

PACKAGE SIZE: 14 oz.

Batonnet-cut carrots, whole green beans, and onions seasoned with a sage-infused oil blend are joined with Roasted Red Potatoes and finished with sage infused 100% olive oil in this tasty dish. Let it sidle up next to your favorite dish for a meal you won't soon forget.

The Harvest Saute is an easy side dish to make! NO MORE peeling potatoes, cutting up potatoes, peeling carrots, cutting up carrots, and waiting quite awhile for the vegetables to soften up! The Harvest Saute is a great choice for someone who would like to save time, and energy. Harvest Saute allows you to have the same fresh taste, as if you had made it yourself.

The vegetables are easy to cook and take only 10-12 minutes to saute. A small packet of oil and seasonings comes frozen inside of the Harvest Saute bag. The first step is to defrost the small packet of oil in hot water. This takes only 1-2 minutes. This was a very simple step. The next step is to put the oil packet and vegetables in a pan. Stir occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until the vegetables are browned.

I will admit...these are the best tasting frozen vegetables I have ever tasted! I give the Harvest Saute a 5 out of 5 with 5 being the best!

Paul and I had a steak meal one night and we added the Harvest Saute to our meal as a side dish. The Harvest Saute went perfectly with the steak! It was the best meal I've had in a long time! I also packed up the same meal to take to my mom so she could have some dinner as well. I had her eat the meal and then afterwards I asked her if she liked the vegetables. She told me that they were yummy and she had no idea that they were frozen. She thought that we had made the vegetables because they tasted that fresh! She is now a fan of Harvest Saute from Alexia.

I have tried frozen red potatoes before and I have never liked frozen red potatoes. I was skeptical of how the Harvest Saute would taste because of other frozen red potatoes I have tried! I was amazingly surprised that the red potatoes tasted fresh and had a great taste! I love that Alexia products are a healthier choice! The Harvest Saute come with 100% olive oil and 0g trans fat per serving.

We would definitely recommend the Harvest Saute! We love the Harvest Saute! We will definitely be purchasing more of the Harvest Saute soon. You will definitely love the Harvest Saute if you are a vegetable lover and I bet even non-vegetable lovers would also like this side dish! I can't wait to try the Harvest Saute with chicken next time!

Alexia also offers other great saute side dishes like the Saute Sweets, Italian Saute, and Saute Reds.

     Alexia has many great reviews of the Harvest Saute on their website! Visit Alexia to see what everyone is saying about the Harvest Saute!

   Alexia has created an easy store locator so everyone can see where to purchase the Alexia products nearest to them! Visit the store locator today to see where you can buy these great products!

     Alexia products can be found at natural, gourmet, club, grocery, and mass retail stores!

Alexia All Natural Foods- Garlic Baguette Review

2012-01-03T12:02:00.000-07:00

Have you heard about the company, Alexia yet? Alexia is a food company that is new to me and I'm so glad that I have found Alexia! Alexia was founded in 2002 and produces a full line of 100% all-natural with 0 grams of trans fat. Alexia offers all-natural foods with real ingredients at the grocery store in the freezer section that are ready for your microwave or oven. Alexia puts quality and taste first! Some of the delicious products they offer includes:

Easy Appetizers
Artisan Breads
Potatoes
Oven Baked French Fries
Sweet Potatoes
Potato and Vegetable Sides

I found my favorites from Alexia that I have added to my "to try soon" list! The products on my list include: Onion Rings, Mozzarella Stix, Yukon Gold Fries, Crinkle Cut Sweet Potato Fries, Sweet Potato Puffs, Harvest Saute, and Whole Grain Rolls! Alexia offers delicious favorites that can be prepared in under 20 minutes.

I had the great opportunity to try out the Garlic Baguette Twin Pack from Alexia! Let me tell you about the Garlic Baguette first, before I go into detail about how much I loved them!

Garlic Baguette

PACKAGE SIZE: 6oz and 12oz

"Made in the traditional style with crispy French bread and our own special blend of real butter, robust garlic and spices. This delicious side is worthy as a complement to any entrée or as an hors d'oeuvre at your next meal. "

I'm a big time garlic bread fan so I couldn't wait to try out the Garlic Baguette. We had spaghetti for dinner one night and the Garlic Baguette went perfect with spaghetti!

The Garlic Baguette is very simple to bake. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 16-18 minutes. (I chose to bake the Garlic Baguette for 16 minutes.) Serve fresh from the oven for a delicious crispy garlic bread! The picture above shows how the garlic bread looked right out of the package.

I started baking the bread when I started boiling water for my spaghetti noodles. This was a perfect timing to have both the noodles and bread done at the same time. A tip from me would be to have your oven preheated already before you start boiling the noodles.

      The picture above shows the Garlic Baguette, fresh out of the oven, ready to be eaten up!

I love that the Garlic Baguette comes already sliced up and seasoned, making it easy to serve!

      The Garlic Baguette tastes perfect with the right amount of butter, garlic, and seasonings. The garlic is not over-powering to the taste! We received the twin pack that included 2 loaves of Garlic Baguette. The Garlic Baguette was gone in no time because it was so delicious! The Garlic Baguette comes frozen, but tastes fresh like it has never been frozen before! I was very impressed with how fresh it tasted with it being frozen. Everyone had seconds because it was very tasty! It would be extremely hard for me to resist not to have seconds!

   This bread does have a crispy crust. I enjoyed the crispy crust because it was delicious. I'm usually not a fan of crispy garlic bread, but the Garlic Baguette is made to taste perfect with the crispy crust. The inside of the Baguette is soft and warm with the outside being perfectly, crunchy and flaky!

     My family loved the Garlic Baguette from Alexia and I would definitely purchase the Garlic Baguette again! The Garlic Baguette is recommended by us!

    Alexia has many great reviews of the Garlic Baguette on their website! Visit Alexia to see what everyone is saying about the Garlic Baguette!

Holiday Gift Guide- Street Surfing Wave 360 Review

2011-12-23T11:56:00.006-07:00

I'm happy to tell you about Street Surfing today! Street Surfing is gearing up for the 2011 holiday season with several exciting products perfect for the entire family and an online Holiday Wish List. Street Surfing created the first casterboard in 2005 which was named, "The Wave". Street Surfing is also the first company to create the very first caster scooter, The Whiplash. These products are created with the elements of skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding. Born in California, but ridden everywhere!

ABOUT THE WAVE 360

(from their website)

"Building upon the concept of the original “Wave,” the revolutionary design of the Wave 360 provides the most versatile range of motion of any casterboard ever. The Wave 360 is the world’s first casterboard featuring 360 degree dual-directional technology on a traditional ABS board. Riders are able to perform a range of 360 and 180 degree spins that are the basis for new tricks. The lightweight design improves board speed and trick capabilities, while the overall riding experience is greatly enhanced. The Wave 360 takes board riding to the next level and provides adrenaline charged riders with a high-energy challenge."

We had the great opportunity to review The Wave 360! The Wave 360 was sent to us super fast! We are very impressed with The Wave 360. The Wave 360 is fun to ride on and gives the ability to do many different tricks!

I will admit that when I got onto The Wave 360, it was tricky to stay on it. It scared me at first because I have never tried anything like this product before. With much practice and tries it was easy to get the hang of it! Paul also had a struggle at first and it was hard to balance on the board. It gets easier with more practice and it is really a fun board to ride on! The 360 spins are amazing and fun!

The Wave 360 offers:

Unlimited spins with the dual direction caster
Back and forth riding with the twin deck design
Tricks and stunts with the lightweight material
Perform 360 spins unlike any other board

I would most definitely recommend anyone who tries this product to wear a helmet and protective gear, as does Street Surfing, for safety reasons!

This is the perfect holiday gift idea for the child or teenager in your life that are the age of 8+! It will guarantee them a fun time with a bunch of thrills!

We recommend this product to you!

BUY IT!

You can purchase The Wave 360 for $79.99!

You can also find other fabulous products at Street Surfing like the Whiplash & Whiplash Pink & the Wave GLX. Visit Streetsurfing.com to see all the fun products they have that are perfect for holiday or birthday gifts!

To stay updated with the latest sweepstakes and deals, like Street Surfing on Facebook and follow Street Surfing on Twitter!

I received a review product in order to write a honest review. All opinions are solely my own. Others may have different opinions. I did not receive monetary compensation for writing this post. Many thank to Street Surfing for letting me review their great product.

Holiday Gift Guide- Kidorable Ladybug Rain Boots Review & Umbrella of Choice Giveaway

2011-12-07T10:53:00.005-07:00

     Kidorable is the place to go this holiday season for awesome gift ideas for children! Kidorable makes ordinary products into extraordinary with their fun styles of products to choose from for both boys and girls! Kidorable offers products like rain boots, rain coats, knit hats, towels, umbrellas, knit scarves and more!

     Kidorable has many designs and styles of their products to choose from that are adorable. Some of the designs include: lady bug, ballerina, butterfly, dragon knight, lucky cat, dinosaur, fireman, mermaid, just to name a few.

     The Kidorable website is designed for simple shopping and to find the products on their site simply. The Kidorable site has categories where you can find the products by the style or by the specific product line. I love the Kidorable site because it is set up for easy navigation!

ABOUT KIDORABLE

(from their website)

"In 1997, Kidorable sprung from the minds, hearts and efficiency apartment of Liping and Jonathan Domsky. They proclaimed, "The world needs someone to create children's apparel and accessories that are both functional and fun. We can do that."

And so Kidorable was conceived. Starting with lions and cats and bears, oh my, manifested as umbrellas and hangers, Kidorable generated enough sales during its first year to break even and plant fruitful Kidorable seeds throughout the land. The following year sales grew ten fold. Every year since, give or take, a new style and/or product line debuted. And every year, the world joyfully embraced more Kidorable delights, give or take, than the year before."

"More than just a pair of boots, these playful puddle magnets make a wonderful gift. Made of natural rubber, they are guaranteed to be the cutest boots in your neighborhood. All styles are available in My First (size 5), children’s sizes 6-13, plus young adult sizes 1 and 2."

Kidorable was kind to send me a pair of Ladybug Rain Boots to review. I was impressed with the rain boots when they arrived. The quality of these boots are fantastic. The traction on the bottom of the boots look great! The rubber exterior is sturdy. The inner lining is soft and makes slipping the boots easy for children to do. I love that my niece can slip these rain boots on easily with no extra help needed!

My niece was thrilled to wear her new ladybug boots to sport them around for everyone to see! These rain boots really bring out the fun in rain, keep the feet warm & dry, and are very fashionable for children! My niece also had fun wearing these boots to school, outside, and inside the house.

I love that Kidorable also offers other similar products that match the ladybug boots. I love that I can also purchase a rain coat and umbrella to match the rain boots for a complete rain gear set! That's not all, I can also purchase other products that have the lady bug style as well like hangers, bookends, and backpacks.

If you are looking for toddler rain boots, that are made with great quality and are absolutely adorable at the same time, then I recommend you check out Kidorable Rain Boots and order a pair! The boots will keep feet dry and wet free!

We definitely recommend the Kidorable Lady Bug Rain Boots to you!

BUY IT!

You can purchase the Kidorable Ladybug Rain Boots by visiting Kidorable.com. The Ladybug Rain Boots retail for $29.

GIVEAWAY TIME!

Thanks to Kidorable, one lucky reader will win a Kidorable Umbrella of winner's choice.

J.R. Watkins has Independent Watkins Associates. One of the great independent associates at J.R. Watkins is Evelyn Leon. Evelyn Leon is kind, friendly, and ships products promptly.

Evelyn Leon was kind enough to send me a Shortbread Cookie Mix to review. I was excited to see what the Shortbread Cookies would taste like. I was also excited to make these cookies easily with the cookie mix. No measuring and no hassle! That is how I love to bake! Simply add butter to the mix and you are set! Awesome! The Shortbread Cookie Mix comes in a pretty gold package that would be perfect to wrap a bow around and give as a gift to your family or neighbors.

ABOUT SHORTBREAD COOKIE MIX

"Everybody loves buttery shortbread cookies-now you can make them at home easily! Enjoy them made by the basic recipe on the package, dip them in melted chocolate or

The directions to make the Shortbread Cookies are very simple! The directions are as easy as cutting a cup of butter into the mix until dough is formed. Roll out the dough to 1/4" thick and then use cookie cutters to make 3 " cookies. The cookies bake at 350 for 11-12 minutes. The cookies can also be dipped into chocolate with added sprinkles or chopped nuts on top for an additional fancy look and an additional great taste.

I had a heart cookie cutter on hand so I made my cookies in a heart shape! I think they turned out cute and the heart shape is also a great way to show love this holiday season! The cookies turned out perfect by following the instructions on how to prepare and bake the cookies. I lost count of how many cookies the shortbread cookie mix made because we could not resist eating the cookies right away. The mix did make many cookies and I was impressed with the quantity that it made. The mix made around 2 dozen cookies.

The cookies tasted very yummy with a buttery perfect shortbread cookie taste. I loved the chocolate added to the shortbread cookies because it gave an added chocolate taste to the shortbread cookies which was a perfect taste! These are the perfect dessert and treat this holiday season! They are simple, easy, and stress-free to make during this stressful holiday season!

Holiday Gift Guide: EatSmart Luggage Scale Review and Giveaway

2011-11-30T11:26:00.004-07:00

The holidays are right around the corner and that means traveling to visit family and friends! I have a great product to introduce you to today. The Luggage Scale from EatSmart is perfect for helping weigh luggage at home before arriving at the airport! This product is convenient, and helps save time and hassles at the airport! EatSmart introduces, the Luggage Scale, that is compact, light weight, easy to store, and is a perfect gift idea this holiday season for the traveler in your life!

ABOUT THE LUGGAGE SCALE

"The EatSmart Precision Voyager Luggage Scale is an ultra portable, lightweight travel accessory designed for anyone from the casual vacationer to the road warrior. After easily clipping onto the handle of your suitcase or bag, EatSmart's proprietary two handed SmartGrip design allows for easier lifting of even the heaviest bags. When your scale registers the weight, the scale will beep and your luggage weight will appear on the screen instantly. Its compact, durable design allows travelers to place it in their suitcase and bring on many trips Never worry about paying unexpected baggage fees again!"

Great features of the Luggage Scale:

- EatSmart's proprietary two handed SmartGrip designed Handles

- Compact & Lightweight Design

- Durable Strap & Easy Clip Buckle

- 2 Measurement Modes: Pounds / Kilograms

- Max Weight: 110 pounds / 50 kilograms

- 20 second Auto-Turnoff

- Includes Lithium Battery

- 2 Year Warranty

I had the great opportunity to try out the Luggage Scale from EatSmart! EatSmart has great shipping. My review product arrived promptly and in great condition! I really love that the Luggage Scale is compact and is very simple to use. I love products that are simple to use and the Luggage Scale is very easy to use! I am so impressed on how fast and easy the Luggage Scale works.

Paul and I used the EatSmart Luggage Scale to weigh a bag of Paul's to see what it weighs. The bag weighed 7.8 pounds. The Luggage Scale has an easy to use off and on button. Simply turn on the Luggage Scale with the on/off button, wait until the scale is at zero, and then the scale is ready to use! The scale will also beep to alert that the scale has finished weighing. The weight will then appear on the luggage scale. Press the on/off button again to turn it off when the scale is not in use. The scale has easy to use straps that are strong and buckle around luggage or bags. The handle on the Luggage Scale is a great size so it can fit any size of fingers. I love that the handle is roomy to accommodate different finger sizes and is easy to grip.

The screen on the Luggage Scale lights up a blue color when it is in use. I love the fact that the screen lights up so you can use the luggage anywhere you are. I like that if you are outside in the dark or in an unlit room, you can still use the Luggage Scale and read the weight of the luggage with the help of the blue light.

       To get an accurate scale reading, it is best to hold the EatSmart Luggage Scale perfectly upright! I also weighed the same bag on a bathroom scale that I have. I received the same exact weight reading! The Luggage Scale was a lot easier to use then the other scale though so I would definitely recommend using the Luggage Scale to weigh bags and luggage for an easy and accurate weight result!

   This product is perfect for every traveler out there! This product will save money and time by helping weigh luggage before arriving at the airport! Whether you know someone who is a casual vacationer or a road warrior, this luggage scale would be a great Christmas gift idea!

   Visit EatSmart today to see all the wonderful products they offer. EatSmart also offers bathroom scales, body fat scales, and kitchen scales.

We recommend the EatSmart Luggage Scale to you!

Holiday Gift Guide- Fitworks Utah - Amazing Deal $50 Holiday 1 Hr. Massage + Gift Box Special in South Jordan, Utah!

2011-11-28T12:45:00.002-07:00

I'm happy to tell you about Fitworks Corrective Therapy today that is located in South Jordan, Utah. Fitworks Corrective Therapy is a company that specializes in healing pains that are in the body, all done naturally. Whether a person has neck pain, headaches, shoulder pains, back pains, hip pains, or countless other pains, Fitworks is the place to go to get pampered and to focus on healing yourself from these ongoing pains that can linger for years! Fitworks Corrective Therapy is the place you should go for a second opinion before a surgery. Gary, the founder, is usually, more than likely able to help fix the problem that is causing the pain before having back surgery or knee surgery.

ABOUT FITWORKS UTAH & FOUNDER, GARY RUMEL

(from his website)

"Gary Rumel is the founder of Fitworks LLC. He specializes in correcting Musculoskeletal imbalances. As a physiologist in 2000, Gary pioneered the method to correct Scoliosis, Lordosis, and Kyphosis naturally. He has taken 47 people off the waiting list that were scheduled for surgery. He has also developed "The Decompression Band" that helps to relieve bulging or herniated disc discomfort in the spine. By building and stretching specific muscle groups, the joints line up gradually for perfect posture and function. A balanced body over time...all done naturally!"

Gary is offering a great deal during this holiday season. He's offering an 1-hour massage for the amazing price of only $50. This offer will last throughout the holiday season! A $75 value for only $50.

Give a beautiful ready to give gift box to the person you love this holiday season! You will receive a beautiful ready to give gift box with ribbon around it when you purchase a 1-hr. massage.

This is a great gift idea this holiday season for many wonderful people in our lives! This 1-hour massage would be great for:

1- The hard working men out there that provide for the family.

2. The full-time mommies that need a break and "me time".

3. The mother in your life that has raised you to be the person you are today

4. The amazing wife who deserves to be pampered

5. A grandmother who could use a massage to help her aches

6. A grandfather that could use a massage for his aches too

7. Parents who could use a relaxing massage

8. A Best friend who has been there for you

9. Anyone who has tight muscles that could use a massage to loosen up

I definitely recommend Gary to you! I have been having Gary work with me to take away my pains and heal me for several months now. I have dealt with pain for 8 years due to a roll over car accident that I was in. Gary has helped me take away pains that I honestly thought I would have the rest of my life. When no one else was able to help take my pains away, Gary has been a blessing to me, because he helped take away pains and give me my life back. Gary has been amazing by helping many of my pains go away all by doing simple exercises in his office/workout room. Gary also does wonderful relaxing massages and focuses on the areas that need extra attention! I recommend Gary's massages. He listens to your needs and wants in a massage, does the right massage pressure to your liking, and focuses on properly covering clients at all times.

I definitely recommend Fitworks Corrective Therapy, Gary Rumel, and the 1 Hr. Massage Deal to you!

To purchase a 1-Hr. Massage + gift box for a holiday gift or stocking stuffer, simply reach Gary by phone for more details! Tell him "Natalie sent you" and he'll take care of you!

I'm passing a long valuable information and a wonderful holiday deal on a massage. I have and continue to receive exceptional service from Gary Rumel, who has gone over and beyond helping me, so in exchange for the excellent service I have been provided with, I am posting this holiday deal.

Holiday Gift Guide- World Vision Gift Catalog + Beautiful Handmade Artisan Beaded Necklace Giveaway

2011-11-21T10:44:00.002-07:00

I'm happy to tell you about the Gift Catalog from World Vision today! I'm happy to help spread the word about this great company that helps those in need around the world by having people help donate and also receive free gifts with a cash donation in return. World Vision's Gift Catalog offers items that change lives around the world.

ABOUT WORLD VISION:

"World Vision is a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty. We serve the world's poor, regardless of a person's religion, race, ethnicity or gender. "

The catalog from World Vision offers more than 250 gifts online and in the print version ranging in price from $16 to $39,000. These gifts can be purchased in the name of a family member, teacher, co-worker or child, including many affordable items under $50. Some of the gifts available include:

- Goats ($75) One of the most popular gift items because its milk provides protein for children and the surplus can be sold. More than 20,000 goats were purchased last year.

- Feed a family in the US for a day ($16) Here in the United States, 1 in 5 children lives in poverty. Gift givers can help restore hope to families that have been struck by disaster, homelessness or job loss.

- A child's education ($32) Supplying school fees, textbooks, paper and pencils will help a child reach their full potential.

- Beehive ($150) Beekeeping is a sustainable, year-round way to generate income and is a great source of nutricious, medicinla honey and beeswax.

- Traditional water well ($13,700) A well can provide more than 2,800 gallons of fresh water every day- enough for up to 300 people - for years to come.

   The great thing about these gifts are that they are self-sustainable. For example, goats given to communities in Africa are purchased in Africa. This allows transformational community development within the most poverty-stricken villages. The gifts can also sometimes double or even triple.

   World Vision has also designed a way for donors to see these self-sustainable gifts in action in real time through "The True Spirit of Christmas Tour." For the third consecutive year, World Vision staff will be traveling across the world this December to see the impact that goats, sheep and other gifts have on families and children.

   Since the Gift Catalog was introduced in 1996, its popularity as a gift-giving medium has grown with more than $32 million in purchases made last year. World Vision hopes to reach $34 million this year. After purchasing a Gift Catalog item, the person whose name the gift was given in receives a special card describing the gift and its impact. Donors can also receive free handmade gifts such as ornaments from Nairobi and jewelry from Thailand with a cash contribution to the Maximum Impact Fund.

     World Vision was kind to send me a beautiful Artisan Beaded Necklace that was handmade in Thailand. I love this necklace so much because it's very unique. I have never seen a handmade necklace so beautiful and done with perfection before. The approximate size of this necklace is 44" around (and 22" long when worn as a single necklace). The beautiful necklace can be worn in different ways. The necklace can also be worn as a multi-stranded bracelet. The necklace comes with several different colors of beads varying from different sizes which makes this necklace fun and beautiful to wear.

   By donating $60 to the World Vision Maximum Impact Fund, which provides for the unique needs of children and families worldwide, you will receive this beautiful glass-bead necklace above.

     Visit World Vision today to see all the ways you can give this holiday season to the less fortunate! Give back to those in need this Christmas season! With a financial contribution, a gift giver can select 1 out of 36 items that can be given to somebody on their holiday gift list and help someone in need at the same time.

Share the true spirit of Christmas with a child in need! Give a gift. Change a life!
