Holiday CookingWhen you think of holidays, what do you think of? I know some of the first words that come to my mind are: Family, Presents, Friends, Parties, Snow, and the best of all ….the FOOD. Between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and new Years there are plenty of amazing food you tend to only cook during the holidays.

If you are like me, I like to try a new recipe to share with loved ones especially around this time of year. A great resource site to refer to for ideas is Cooking.com. They have thousands of various recipes available at your finger tips with step by step directions. I liked how Cooking.com is very user friendly and you can  navigate through their site easily.

Fitness Time

Fitness Time

For many their New Year’s resolutions are thought into and serious items. If it is to stop an addiction, or reach out to your family more, the list is endless. I believe for many, at the top of the list would be to get back in shape after the holidays.  We all know during the holidays instead of going for a morning jog in the snow it is easier to make cinnamon rolls and get snug on the couch. Well the New Year is quickly approaching and soon enough we will need to get back on track with our health. There are so many great deals available now online and at gyms such as 24 Hour Fitness that I didn’t know existed.

halloween pumpkinOne of my favorite fall traditions is decorating pumpkins. This would involve a lot of kids around the dining room table, with big knives, and ALOT of mess. How times change.
My sister this year took a different route that involved no knives and virtually no mess.

She decided to use plastic face pieces that she purchased at a craft store similar to Joann’s. As a family they still all came to the dining room table and they all chose their parts and items they would like to use for their pumpkins. This is something so simple but gives people the ability to really let their personality show with their pumpkin. If it is a girly rockstar with a mohawk, fake eyelashes and bright lipstick. Or an old grandmother with a scarf, hat and glasses. And for little ones, it gives them the chance to do the decorating by themselves without the worry of getting injured.  You are able to get all of these items at places like Joann’s. The possibilities are endless. And the best part, is at the end of Halloween, most of the items you can save and reuse them year to year.

Home Shopping Network

Holiday goodies for less!

I remember when I was young, I would get stuck on infomercials for hours watching in anticipation to see what great deals would come.  I then would bother my mom trying to get her to take advantage of those deals offered by HSN.  Now there is a wonderful website for us to refer to so I NEVER have to watch an infomercial again.   And I can conveniently shop when I want.

Great CostumesGrowing up we never had a lot of money and I was the youngest of seven kids.  As you can imagine Halloween time was a hectic time for my mom.  It normally ended the same way, rushing from store to store trying to find a costume last minute.  This time around I want to do it right.  I update coupons for this website, so with Halloween not far away I started looking around.  I was impressed at the cost and selection they offered at Costume Discounters. I was able to sort them by price, themes, age groups, and more.

Zoobooks

Awesome kid books!

When I was younger I remember reading Zoobooks and falling in love with animals.  Their beauty and their living habitats intrigued me.  As I have grown, I have come to look back at Zoobooks and love them to this day.

TOTALLY CUTE SUN HAT!

TOTALLY CUTE SUN HAT!

So I have been looking for a sunhat in preparation for this summer. I am almost 30 years old with many days of my life spent in the great outdoors. In a recent mirror examination I found sun spots! Well, I guess it is to be expected. The protection of my skin, especially of my face, I find very important. So that is how I started out on this quest to find an sun hat that is actually stylish and hip! Here is what I found…

acai The Colon Cleansing CrazeHave you seen all the hype about the weight loss that was mentioned on Oprah? She and Dr. Oz spoke about the greatest super foods and some of their health effects. From this main episode, hundreds of marketers have starting to sell Acai Berry pills, drinks, and supplements, as well as the Colon Cleanse. Well, I have just finished my first week of a two week cleanse. Wish me luck!

I purchased a product that takes 2 weeks and is pretty gentle. I am not sure all of the effects this will have on my body, but getting my colon clean sounds like a good idea. Colon cancer runs in my family so I guess that I can’t be too careful.
