Are you working on eating more healthfully in 2014?  So many of my friends have told me they just didn't realize how much they were eating until they started weighing their meals. It is amazing how enlightening that can be. 

Mira has beautiful digital glass kitchen scales that help you with portion control. A scale like the one I received really helps keep you on track.  It is easy to use and goes beautifully with any kitchen decor. Mira has a variety of colors and options too.  I think you will be surprised at how much food you are putting on your plate if you weigh it first. It really makes a difference. I find I am eating just enough, I am not hungry but I am not overeating.

This Mira Glass scale is made of tempered glass.  What that means for you is that it is 4 times stronger than normal glass. That means it is going to be much more durable.  Can see how slim this scale is?  I love that it can fit into a crevice or small corner in your kitchen. It is so light weight too! No need to pull out a big heavy scale anymore either. Another wonderful feature is that it weighs up to 11lbs of food.  I love that all the beautiful MiraGlass Digital Kitchen Scales are available on Amazon, one of my most favorite places to shop. 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.

Save on PET MEDICATIONS up to 75% discount at CVS, Walgreens, & Rite Aid

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I bet you love all your pets as much as we do. Whether you have cats, dogs or a more exotic pet, they are really your best friends.  You always want to take the best care of them but it can get sooooo expensive. I found a good solution recently that doesn't cost a penny.  I now save a bunch on medication for all my pets at Rite Aid using my medication discount card.  I didn't even have to switch pharmacies either!

The best part is that this pet medication discount card works at ALL chain pharmacies... including CVS, Walmart, Walgreens and many more.  59,000 pharmacies nationwide!  It is funny...sometimes I feel like we are running a real zoo here in my house with all these animals and all those medical issues add up fast. It seems like every week there is something with one of them. But we love them so much and it is worth it.  Recently one of my pets needed to be treated with sulfadiazine for a medical problem and I was so happy I really saved a lot. Without my discount medical card I would have paid $122.02. I only paid $95.55.  I save $26.48. That is a big difference.....22% less!

This convenient pharmacy discount card will save you up to 75% off all of the cash price of your and your pet's prescription medication.  Simply print the card, then hand it to your pharmacist before picking up your medication.  Discounts will be significantly more for generic drugs than brand name.

**Also please note this is not Insurance and cannot be used to reduce your copay.  It can be used instead of insurance or for drugs/vitamins not covered by insurance.  This card will work for most drugs, but there may be a few that the card offers no discount on.

Hershey's #SpreadPossibilities Sample and Share with #Crowdtap

Disclaimer: I received a sample of Hershey's Spread complimentary through Crowdtap. As always, my opinions are my own.

Have you seen Hershey's Spreads yet?  Ooooh, you are just going to lose your mind when you try them.  Now you are really curious, right?  So Hershey's Spreads are a soft chocolate spread with the consistency of cream cheese that is CHOCOLATE. Yummy chocolate too. You can spread it on anything and everything. That is the idea.

• Hershey's spreads have the power to transform any snack into a delicious treat
• Easy to spread on your favorite fruits, breads or mix into smoothies or shakes
• Blend into waffle or pancake mix for a fun change of pace
• Kosher by Orthodox Union for dairy

I was excited to hear that Hershey's Spreads are at Walmart now. Hershey's spreads come in three yummy flavors: Chocolate, Chocolate with Almonds and Chocolate with Hazelnuts. They are soft and created perfectly for spreading on toast, waffles, crackers and fruit. They are reasonably priced at about $3.38 a jar at the Walmart where I found them.

As I mentioned, Crowdtap and Hershey's sent me one jar complimentary..the Chocolate with Hazelnut. I purchased the other varieties. The Chocolate has a thick but very spreadable texture and tastes a lot like a classic Hershey's Bar.  That is a good thing! The Chocolate with Almonds tastes similar but almost like a Hershey's Bar with Almonds.  The Chocolate with Hazelnuts tastes like well, chocolate and hazelnut blended together in a yummy flurry.

All the varieties were creamy and very easy to spread.  We tried the spreads on whole wheat toast, bagels, muffins, pineapple, bananas, apples and strawberries.  The whole family and our guests said that the combos were super yummy.  

Now this is definitely a treat item for us since the fat content is 12 grams per two tablespoons.  Only about 2 grams of saturated fat are in that same serving and less than one gram of cholesterol.  Sugar is up there as the first ingredient and vegetable, sunflower and palm oils. Of course we all deserve to have a special yummy dessert or snack now and then and I would include this as a fun option a few times a week...especially when you consider how much more healthy fruit you will probably eat because it tastes much better with Hershey's Spreads.

Organic Vitamin C Serum for Beautiful Skin at Any Age

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.  I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample of the products for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the products. 

Are you like me? Allrighty then, we are both a little bit of health nuts and there is nothing wrong with that. I bet you work hard to keep your body in beautiful shape?  You probably exercise at home or at the gym, jog, hop on tons of machines and maybe even go to those sweaty boot camp classes all the time?  I do all of the above. It is hard work but it also feels good to take care of your body.  So you also probably shop carefully like I do for organic foods especially those fruits and vegetables.  

We do so much for our bodies but it recently occurred to me that I had not given much thought to the purity of my skin care regimen.  What about you?  What exactly is IN all those creams and potions that you are putting on your face?  That is the million dollar question.  If you are having some second thoughts then think about a botanical option that has been lauded by the medical expert, Mehmet Oz, M.D. 

A beautiful and effective part of your skin care regimen should include Organic Vitamin C Serum.  Dr. Oz recommends Vitamin C for healthy skin.  We all know Dr. Oz as a well known authority on health.  La Beaute Pure was kind enough to let me try their 100% botanical, organic Vitamin C Serum. Several things caught my eye when researching the La Beaute Pure Vitamin C Serum:

• 100% botanical

• Organic

• NO parabens, fragrances or colors

• Not tested on animals

• 20X more effective than taking Vitamin C orally

La Beaute Pure told me that you can see a plethora of potential benefits* such as a reduction in sunspots, dark spots & discolorations.  Vitamin C Serum can prevents free radicals and help collagen tighten skin.*  Results may vary but fine lines & wrinkles may be less noticeable within 2-6 months.*  The wonderful part is that La Beaute Pure Organic Vitamin C Serum works for up to 72 hours and does not wash off.  I find that very convenient especially on those busy nights when you just about have time to drop into bed after a l-o-n-g day.  It is very easy to use though and you can use it a.m. or p.m., whatever is more convenient for you. You just let it dry prior to moisturizing.  That one application lasts up to 72 hours.
