Shandali Stickyfiber Hot Yoga Towel Review #Shandali


I have been a yoga fiend the past few months.  Of course I am still doing all my crazy boot camp stuff but the yoga is so relaxing and it gets my tight muscles all stretched out.  I even fell asleep in the final relaxation portion of the class the other day....luckily I had   cushioned myself with the Shandali yoga towel so I stayed nice and comfortable.  I love this soft and absorbent towel! The Shandali Stickyfiber Hot Yoga Towel is the best.Great for warm or hot yoga classes when you get really sweaty.
Here is an easy way to increase your confidence and focus during your yoga or pilates class while your mat stays dry and you stay safe on your mat - no more slipping around!  No more borrowed or too small towels either. This is one of the best Bikram yoga, Pilates, fitness and exercise towels with a great lifetime guarantee.
The GoSweat towel is very absorbent and quick dries in a flash. It was actually designed to soak up sweat and moisture specifically for sports, fitness and yoga. I have been impressed that it really dries quickly. I do take care to wash after each class....I am very particular about cleaning my gym and yoga gear regularly.

The Shandali Stickyfiber Hot Yoga Towel is a perfect companion to any activity. Think about it...it is very light weight so you can carry it easily to and from your yoga studio. Versatile so you can use it at the gym, pool, beach, and other activities.


The Shandali Stickyfiber Hot Yoga Towel actually extends the life of your yoga mat by creating a hygienic layer between you and your mat. Survives countless washings in cool water too so you save too!  If for any reason you are not 100% satisfied, within 30 days, you can return your The Shandali Stickyfiber Hot Yoga Towel for a no-questions asked, full refund.  You can find it exclusively on Amazon too so you can have your Shandali  Yoga Towel shipped to your door in a few days...even less with Prime.

Abundant Harvest for Teens & Adults Review + Giveaway #FaithandFamily




It can be a real challenge to find wholesome board games for family game night. How can a good parent get the kids unplugged? I recently had the opportunity to do just that with an innovative new board game that makes kids and adults alike THINK.  Abundant Harvest® for Teens & Adults is a patented, award-winning conversation game designed to help parents and educators open a door (in a fun way!)  to more effective communication, encourage decision making based on principles such as honesty, loyalty, and commitment with the intent of reinforcing the Law of the Harvest, simply, “you reap what you sow.” 

 

What does this fun game make you think about?  Abundant Harvest for Teens and Adults encourages open discussion on real-world situations and players are asked the question, “What would YOU do?” The questions are designed to not have a real definitive answer but to make the players go a little deeper inside themselves.  Teens and adults alike get to think about how their decisions, good and bad, might affect others and themselves in the short and long term. Some of the questions really bring up topics that patents might not have discussed with them but are important to their health, safety and happiness.  

Adults will enjoy the opportunity to interact with their teens in a personal but fun manner that doesn't happen as often as they like these days with the Internet and endless activities. Harvest® for Teens & Adult also opens the window a bit into the teen mind and provides an opportunity for more expansive discussions. Kids feel comfortable speaking their mind because, after all, it is "just" a game night.

My thoughts:  We love board games from Scrabble to Sorry but Harvest® for Teens & Adults is different.  It is a board game with some special benefits.  It was a lot of fun to play and really got the whole family talking about morals, right and wrong and what it means to be a kind, thoughtful person. Harvest® for Teens & Adults provides a relaxing opportunity to put away the electronics and have some time together reinforcing our beliefs and ideals as a family.  This is a great game for educators, families, Sunday School teachers or even teen camps.  The suggested age range is 13+which seems reasonable considering the nature of the game. Children much younger than that would probably have some challenges with it unless they are very precocious. You can buy the Abundant Harvest game for Teens and Adults here.

We love to have Spa Beauty Style days here in our home. It could include facial masques to hair treatments or styles. My tween loves for me to help her with newly discovered and minted styles straight from the pages of Pinterest but sometimes it can be a real challenge. Even with our beauty salon worth drawers and cabinets full of supplies, sprays, pins, clips and bands.  I never realized that the right tools can make all the difference in the finished look of a hair style until I was contacted by Whirl-a-Style.  




Whirl-a-Style has a whole catalogue full of amazing products that make anyone look like celebrity style pro.  The ponytail has been a hot trend for the past few years. The popularity hasn't dimmed at all...in fact recently I saw it everywhere on the catwalks at the fashion shows.  Whirl-a-Style was determined to design a product that would make the ponytail beautiful, fun and exciting for anyone by giving it amazing height and volume. Just like the look that you see on the covers of all the magazines, you know what I mean.

DKnight Magicbox Ultra-Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Review #DKnightMagicboxUltraPortableWirelessBluetoothSpeak


One of the hottest accessories out there now are portable wireless bluetooth speakers. Some of them are totally priced out of reason but not a great one that I recently had the opportunity to check out. The DKnight Magicbox Ultra-Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is a good, reasonably priced option. It offers some powerful sound with built in microphone.  This DKnight Magicbox works seamlessly for Iphones, Ipad Minis, Ipad 4/3/2, itouch, Blackberry, Nexus, Samsung and many other smartphones and Mp3 players. The DKnight Magicbox recently got a major upgrade with easy to follow standard "Beep" sound prompts too. This is the model I was able to review.
I love that this wireless speaker is so small it fits into the palm of my hand. It has a built in rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 10 hours or music or talk.  It even comes with a USB charging cable so I can charge it via my laptop, wall charger or even in the car. It would also work with a desktop if that is what you use. My own desktop has been retired for a few years.  This amazing little device supports wireless music streaming via novel Bluetooth v3.0 technology.  How do you get such powerful sound from a tiny little device like this? It contains not one but two highly powerful 40mml total 6W acoustic drivers and the ultra-small size produces a wide audio spectrum that pretty much knocked my socks off this week.

You can see how simple the DKnight Magicbox is to use in the photo above. It is not complicated and has easy to follow buttons. I find that the built-in Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery really has been giving me close to 10 hours of playtime. I am loving the built-in microphone so I can use it for hands-free speaker phone calling. It is a cinch to pair too...much easier than my car since you don't need any codes or pins.
This is a great option to bring to the beach or even on a vacation since it is only 8.3 ounces. Plays all kinds of audio devices through 3.5mm aux in the jack.  I have been using it with my iphone 5 and my tween has used it with the ipad mini.  The music sounds wonderful and it was simple for both of us to learn how to use it quickly. You can pick this DKnight Magicbox Ultra-Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker up quickly right on Amazon my absolute fave place to shop.
