I have been taking this product since it was supplied to me by the company for an honest review after testing it. I have to say A-RX Weight Loss is a quality product. It is not a get skinny fast product, however it does work and I have not noticed any side effects personally. I have had some stomach issues and other small problems with products in the past, but that is not the case with A-RX. I take the product as directed with my breakfast and I go from there. It gives me a nice boost of energy so I can really get through and drive my routine for the morning and afternoon and I do not feel like I need to snack every 20 minutes or so like I have in the past. I would recommend this one to try out and I have seen a weight decrease of 6lbs since I started.

So I admit the first time I took this towel out of the package I thought no way could it be as good as they said it was it is so thin. I am happy to say the towel proved me dead wrong. I have been putting it through the paces since I got it because I am going on a trip in April to Europe and wanted something that fit nicely in my luggage but would get the job done when I needed it to. In all honesty this one has exceeded what i thought it would do by a mile. It even helped when we had a pipe burst in the garage due to the polar vortex (thanks old man winter). Two thumbs up for this one from me. Thank you Shandali for giving me the chance to try out a great product that I love!

Anyone who knows me for a little bit of time will know that due to dancing, horse back riding, hiking and a general hard use of my body (no laughing) since I was young among other things (health issues I won’t blow into for this post) I have a great deal of pain every day. Until now my choices have pretty much been stuff that doesn’t work or smell like a horse or grandma. For those asking why a horse…ligament oil used on horses actually works well on humans too.

I don’t like smelling like that stuff though all the time and I do prefer to use natural remedies when i can. So when I got a chance to try the Noxicare I gave it a shot, what did I have to lose right?

Well the first thing I noticed was the color when it comes out of the tube reminds me of a certain spearmint gum, that was a little throwing but right away I noticed there was no smell. No harsh odor to offend my nose. So I smeared it on color and all, for the record the color does not do anything to your skin or anything so that is good. I put the cream on some of my main pain points and while it is not what I could call a “miracle” it worked. I got relief.

So let’s look at those stats:

Cool color (since it does not do anything to your skin that goes in the neat category)
No smell
Works well

That basically ticks all of my boxes and makes it something that I will use on a regular basis.

Along with this review I am doing a give away for your own bottle of Noxicare supplied by the generous product makers. Going to try a little different way then rafflecopter just to see if it works. Instead of the rafflecopter please email me saying I WANT TO BE PAIN FREE to Ambrosia@birth-ofa-notion.com and I will select one winner.

My Review:

So my Husband and my dance partner are the ones who tend to be into the teas and the health drinks. Despite my well known bloodlines and heritage I have just never been much of a tea drinker, that said I have begun wanting to make a change in that and trying to find some healthy teas that suit my taste buds. When I got the chance to try out this Caramel Matchaccino green tea latte I thought it was the perfect chance to wet my whistle with something that I might like.

I am glad that I gave it a chance because let me tell you this is frothy deliciousness. The package of tea comes with directions that are very easy to follow so that you can make the beverage just as it should be. The flavor is divine and the drink itself is very filling, which was a bit of a surprise for me. I also tried some of the powder in one of my morning smoothies and that was a great choice too because it just amped up the flavor that much more. There is something to be said for a product that is going to be versatile and allow you choices when using it. The fact that you get a rich full and a little bit of sweet flavor without any added sugar really was the best selling point for me, because I have been trying to cut my sugars down recently without losing flavors. So when you combine:

• 100% Natural
• Only 58 Calories
• 0g Fat
• No Food Coloring
• No Artificial Sweetners
• No Preservatives
• No MSG/Chemical Additives

 

With the full bodied flavor you get from this product, you get a win for the holidays are any time of year.

Tradeshows are the bread and butter of anyone who is getting a business off the ground or launching a new product within their business. Whether you are a small business just getting started or one of the big guys like windows everyone does trade shows.  The problem with so many people being in one place is trying to stand out and you have to stand out or you will not get noticed it really is that simple.

Go big or go home: One way to stand out is to make your booth and everything in it Big and stand out. Now that does not mean you want to go and get some of those gorilla balloons from car dealerships but make your displays big, noticeable and bright stand out colors.

Make sure you treat your sales literature like it’s important. It can be too easy to not want to have people focus on reading but the sales literature is the crux of what you want people to understand about your product. So do not treat it like a throwaway if you do, they will too.

Make sure you are front and center in your booth and when you are not there that you have someone else front and center. When you have someone who looks approachable and is friendly to people as they come you are more likely to get attention. No one likes to approach a booth where someone is just sulking in the back.

Take time is right around the corner and no one is looking forward to that. However if you are a large business or small business owner you are probably looking forward to that even less then everyone else. I know personally I do not look forward to tax season at all. Yes I tend to get a refund (like many) however the idea of putting it all together is always exhausting.

That is why I firmly think you need to invest in the help of a Tax professional. Tax law is one of the most rapidly changing laws out there and it can be hard to keep up especially for business owners. If you miss something even something that seems little you can get in big trouble with the United States government. The best idea is to hire someone who knows what they are doing and go through it with them.

Another choice if you do not like the idea of brick and mortar is buying software that also has live help. I cannot stress enough how important it is to not do your business taxes alone. Personally I always think it is better to pay a fee to a professional then get fined by the IRS.

Yes I know it is currently winter and almost Christmas time, however if you are like me you plan ahead especially when it comes to what the kids can do in the summertime.  The summer vacation time of school being out leaves a lot of parents wondering what to have the kids do for the whole time they are off school. Well I did a little bit of brainstorming while I was planning and decided there are three key and fun activities to have the kids do this summer.

 

Sleep away camp:

I went to sleep away camp when I was a kid and I loved every minute of it. I loved it so much that I actually became a counselor at the same camp when I was an adult. There is something fun and liberating about getting to spend time with other kids your age and just run around in the woods with someone other than your parents. If you would like to send your kids to sleep away camp you can click here to learn more.

Drive in movie:

Going to see a drive in movie is something that has been forgotten but it can be a great thing to do in the summer. Load up the kids in the car with some snacks and go take in a double feature. There is nothing quite like the experience of a drive in. Best to get it in before all the theaters are gone.

Go to the Beach:

Go to the beach and build a sandcastle. This one may seem again like an old fashioned idea but it is a timeless and very fun one. Kids are over connected these days. It is scary when you see how young kids are getting cell phones, tablets and all those fancy devices. Taking them outside and showing them the activities out there is one of the best things you can do.

Design and the interior designer is a hot topic these days with all the reality shows you can watch about them now. From seeing what is being re-designed in Miami homes on Real Housewives of Miami and the Miami interior designer they used to the fantastic escapades of Jeff and Jenny in Los Angeles. Interior design is just simply everywhere but there are some things you should keep in mind selecting a designer for your own home; don’t just go with the first one you meet with.

Do they go along with your design tastes? :

While it is always good to broaden your horizons in design if you are someone who prefers vintage and repurposed things you might not want to go with a designer who is known for minimal or completely modern.

Check credentials:

Do not just take someone’s word for it, not in today’s market. Ask for references and ask for credentials and then follow up. You need to make sure that they are who they say they are and have done the schooling they say they have.

Know your project:

Know the scope and how big your project is. There are some designers who specialize in smaller projects and some in larger ones. You need to make sure that the project and the designer suit one another.

Interview:

It can be easy in a fast pace society to just want to do things over the phone and hire the first one that seems right. Do not forget the important step of interviewing the designer that you want to work with you. Meet with them personally and have a list of questions prepared.

Know the fees:

Make sure you know the entire fee scale before you sign anything. Every designer works differently and their scale will be different. Just because you have worked with one doesn’t mean their scale will be the same as another designers.

Luxury it is something many (if not all) of us dream of but not everyone can afford. Sometimes even if you can afford some items there are still those big ones that are either out of reach or you just cannot rationalize yourself into getting. What are dreams for however if not to enjoy the idea of getting something that is the highest of luxury? This time of year it can be fun to dream of gifts and the high life so here are 5 of my top “maybe someday” or “Oh how I wish” luxury items.

Who would not love to cruise around the world on a dream yacht like this or others you can find at www.umtmarine.com. It can often seem the rich and fabulous all own these lovely yachts but I think a lot of them rent or pay for a weekend. I would love a yacht…would be nice to work on my tan.

 

Vintage is the thing and I can fully admit I stalk vintage shops like a well honed shopping vixen. I have never found an item like this but oh I would love to own this 1920’s Louis Vuitton shoe trunk at only $68,500 it is possible right?

A castle. Yes I know it is a typical little girl dream but who doesn’t want a castle. You can actually buy them these days although the upkeep (aside from the purchase price) has to be huge.

This bit of bling by Repossi is a price on request item which to me says expensive. It sure is pretty though isn’t it?

This is a $5,000 dollar of limited edition champagne. I mean think about that for a second drinking something that cost $5,000.

Nap time something that all us adults want to get back and every kid under a certain age really needs. It can be difficult to put your kids down sometimes however and lullaby music is something that helps. I know I used it a lot with the kids in my family and I still like to keep an arsenal of different tunes ready because you never know when it might be needed again.

I have not personally listened to Jammy Jams before but when I saw the set list my first thought was “I know most of these songs” so they were familiar and that was a good thing to me. Now I did worry at first that some of them might be a little bit to upbeat but I did not need to have worried about that. The arrangement of the music that Jammy Jams uses is perfect. You can still tell what the songs are but they have been brought down to a pleasant tone that will help encourage sleep and not dancing around.

My two favorites from the CD tracks were Champagne Supernova and We are Young. I enjoyed the entire CD and love it for lullaby music but those two also ticked my entertainment value boxes for how much I personally enjoyed them. If you have a little one or someone in your family does who needs some nap time music check it out and you can enter the giveaway for a chance to win a free downloaded copy all for yourself.
