Dr. Scholl's® For Her Active Series® Review #ActiveSeries

Disclaimer:  I received a pair of Dr. Scholls Active Series Insoles complimentary through Influenster in order to evaluate them and provide my opinion. As always, my opinion is my own.
I workout at least 4 days a week, and I workout hard. Bootcamp type of workouts--jumping, running, lifting, kettlebells and all that. I need a shoe with a LOT of support. I have a good pair but my feet were still sore sometimes. Hey, I am not 20 so my feet get beat up. It happens. What can you do?


I have used Dr. Scholls insoles for high heels before...alot and they help me during the day when I am working. I didn't think about using a Dr. Scholls product in my sneakers. But   Influenster did. They were nice enough to send me a pair of Dr Scholl's Active Series Insoles. You replace your insoles with the Dr. Scholls. You know what?  They really work. My feet were not sore for the workouts this week. All the same crazy stuff but they added just enough cushioning for me.

On the way home, my feet felt great. The next morning they weren't sore either.  That means the Dr Scholl's are staying in my shoes. Happy feet mean one happy Glamamama.  Give them a try and let me know what you think.

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

You can learn more about MatchaDNA™ green tea by watching their famous YouTube video below:

 

Take a peek at their Genius episode to educate yourself even more about the benefits that MatchaDNA can offer:
 

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

Review of the BA STAR Holiday Red Lip Pencil Perfect for the NextPerformance

I had the opportunity to sample and review the Holiday Red Lip Pencil from BA STAR cosmetics line through my membership with BrandBacker.  As always, my opinions are my own.

#BASTAR  #BASTARMAKEUP @brandbacker

I bet you have a daughter, god-daughter, niece or grandchild that is involved in theatre, dance, cheer or other performing arts.  Maybe you teach one of the performing arts. You definitely want to take a peek at BA STAR cosmetics.  Oh, those musical theatre shows.  The dance showsCheer makeup. No more scrambling for you days before the show.

They have gorgeous lip pencils, lipsticks stardusts and mineral shadows in addition to mascaras, blushes and even cosmetic bags.  They have it all in one place. Save on gas and on multiple trips. What a time saver!

I was excited to get to try out a beautiful BA STAR red lip pencil and so was my daughter. It glided on very smoothly and looked bright and colorful.  A perfect color for a holiday show or performance. It stayed on for hours too...even after I drank several from my bottle of water.  She had a snack and a drink and it stayed on beautifully for her as well! I liked that it had a creamy feel but also had staying power.. It felt very comfortable on the lips.  It will be so pretty for her upcoming holiday performance.
