New Ozeri Precision Digital Bath Scale to Keep You on Target All Winter Long! A Blog Review


Disclaimer:  I received this information through Tomoson.  I was provided with a complimentary Ozeri scale by sharing this information with my readers. As always, my opinions are my own.


 
Are you in the market for a sleek new scale to really make sure you stay on target this winter?  A good scale is a big help to remind you of your goals but in a way that coordinates with your bath and look beautiful at the same time. Have you seen the new Ozeri Precision Digital Bathroom Scale? I really love it. It features auto calibration technology that makes tracking your weight so simple with no complicated setting up or anything! I am serious....right out of the box it is ready to go. Can you believe how thin it is???? I just followed the instruction...it took me literally one minute to calibrate it by stepping on it and then hopping off.  Then I got on again and walla, my exact weight. Totally on target. My little one tried it too. Perfect.  It looks sleek and modern in my bath too. Check it out below.

I like has the latest generation of Step-on Activation so your body weight is displayed immediately upon stepping onto the scale.  My old one required me to tap to turn on or activate the scale. That was kind of pesky! The Ozeri Precision Digital Bathroom Scale accurately displays results in increments of 0.2 pounds or 0.1 kilograms on its easy to read widescreen LCD.  It also uses 4 G sensors to capture weights up to 400 lbs or 180 kg with industry leading accuracy. So no worries where you are starting, just keep your eye on the prize for a healthy weight with Ozeri. 
The Ozeri Precision Digital Bathroom Scale also has a convenient unit button that instantly changes the unit of measurement from pounds to kilograms and optionally British stones. You can choose your personal preference so easily. The Ozeri Precision Digital Bathroom Scale utilizes an oversized platform, impact resistant tempered glass, and durable construction so no worries about balancing or breakage. It is designed with accuracy, convenience and ease of use in mind. It also turns off automatically to conserve battery life, and runs on 1 Lithium 2032 battery (included!!!) for the best in performance. They provide a 100% Guarantee for Satisfaction too.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.  Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Love Green Tea? Certified Organic MatchaDNA™ Green Tea Gives You An Anti-Oxidant Boost!

Disclaimer:  I received a complimentary sample of MatchaDNA Green Tea in order to evaluate it for myself.  As always, my opinion is my own. 

Do you enjoy green tea?  I have loved green tea from the first time I tried it years ago but I do notice that the taste varies from brand to brand. Lately I have really tried to buy more organic foods and beverages. I really worry about all the chemicals out there in many commercial foods and beverages. I bet you do too.  I was interested when I heard about an organic green tea with significant nutritional benefits.  

MatchaDNA™ green tea tastes delicious first of all. It has no bitter taste like some of the green teas I have tried over the years. I just love that it is certified organic too. One glass of MatchaDNAmay be the equivalent of 10 glasses of green tea in terms of its nutritional value and antioxidant content.  You can drink it hot or cold or even mix it into your smoothie like I do. Sometimes I even enjoy a hot green tea latte with my MatchaDNA™ green tea.  So yummy in the fall and winter. When I get in a baking mood I get creative and make something from their recipes or from my head like these adorable cupcakes below.


                                     Delicious Green Tea Cupcakes



  • 2 cups white flour (I replace up to 1/2 cup with whole wheat flour)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp MatchaDNA™ green tea
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and MatchaDNA™ green tea powder. In a separate bowl, beat egg substitute with vegetable oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake papers. Divide batter evenly, and bake 25 minutes or until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean.

You can find lots of yummy green tea recipes on the MatchaDNA™ website.  Take a peek and let me know what you think about the wonderful health benefits of their organic green tea. I love that you can buy it directly from them or even on one of my fave sites Amazon

Enjoy your green tea and have a healthy fall and winter!

Omax3 Ultra-Pure Omega-3 Giveaway and Review

Disclaimer: The omax3® Ultra-Pure™ omega-3 supplement, information and giveaway gift have been provided complimentary.  I was provided with samples in order to review the supplement and provide my opinions.  As always, my opinions are my own.

I have been taking omega-3 supplements for a number of years now but am always surprised at how many people don't know about them or what they do for your body.  I have tried a variety of brands but have not really settled on one brand up until now.  I think I have finally found one that I can stick with and I will tell you why.  omax3® Ultra-Pure™ omega-3 supplement is what I am talking about today.  I think you are going to like it too.

Did you know that it is estimated that only one in four Americans are getting sufficient amounts of omega-3s from their diets, while getting an overabundance of omega-6 fatty acids (see here for more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b46yLkYOO4rel=”nofollow“) . Why is this?  Aaah, so many reasons! Some people just don't like fish or can't get it locally..now fish is the prime source of EPA and DHA omega-3s too.  Other have serious  concerns about seafood contaminants which is very reasonable thinking about all the pollution in the oceans today.  
You might not realize that doctors recommend that those of us in the 75% who are not getting omega-3s from diet should consider a supplement.  But you really need to consider several factors when choosing one. A group of Yale-affiliated physicians have developed a clear choice: omax3® Ultra-Pure™ omega-3 Supplement.
How are omax3 softgels really different from other omega-3 supplements out there?
  • ·    omax3 is tested twice for purity and is free of contaminants, such as unwanted saturated fats, mercury, lead or PCBs
  • ·         omax3 softgels are 91% (pharmaceutical grade) purity, as opposed to most fish oil supplements which range from about 30% to 60% purity
  • ·         The high quality control and purity of the product helps reduce the incidence of “fishy burps,” a common complaint from people who take fish oil supplements
·         The Yale-affiliated physicians who developed omax3 reviewed a large volume of research pinpointing the differential effects of EPA and DHA omega-3s; as a result, omax3 Ultra-Pure supplements were formulated with an optimal 4:1 EPA/DHA ratio to help the body achieve the maximum health benefit.  Isn't that what we all want from supplements too--to get the optimal benefit?

·        

·         The omax3 optimal ratio was found in studies to help the body reduce triglycerides without raising bad cholesterol. It also provides a better anti-inflammatory benefit over other omega-3 ratios.  Higher purity means higher potency! One dose of two omax3
·        Ultra-Pure softgels offers doctor-recommended daily amounts of omega-3—equal to 16 krill oil capsules, 8 1/2 egg yolks or 90 walnuts! That is a whole lotta omega-3 too!


So you want to find out how pure is YOUR omega-3 supplement?
There are a few ways to figure it out:
  •      You can use thisPurity Calculatorto see exactly what your percentage of omega-3 fatty acids. Enter the values as shown, and multiply your answer by 100.  Let me know the results in the comments because I am really curious.
 
  •      Try putting your fish oil capsules to the “freezer test.” Low purity omega-3 products will often turn white and cloudy when placed in the freezer for 24 hours, but omax3 remains clear. That’s because there are no saturated fats or other impurities in omax3.
Where can you find this high quality supplement? omax3 Ultra-Pure is currently available at www.omax.com or at select GNC stores. You can also connect with omax3 on Facebook for healthy ideas and giveaways.  I always like to follow my favorite brands...you never know what they offer their followers!
