You can learn to Swing Dance Beginners DVD + Giveaway Perfect for a Christmas gift #swingdance #christmasgift



My husband and I dance a little bit at clubs, weddings and other date nights out but we are definitely beginners. My hubby's cousin and her husband are amazing dancers and I just watch them in total awe. Swing Dancing is something that I always wanted to do. You always see couples out there on the dance floor and just watch and wonder how they learned to do it. It always seemed like it was something that was way beyond possibility. I don't have the funds to invest in hours of dancing lessons at some upscale studio. Maybe you do, but this is a better solution. You can learn like we are doing in the privacy of your own home and it is a reasonable investment.

Swing Dancing is so huge now. Think about it, we see celebrities every week on Dancing with the Star's on television and we see it on So You Think you Can Dance. It's everywhere and it seems like everyone else can do it. Well, now anyone can with the DanceCrazy Swing Dance, Vol 1 Beginners Swing Dance. This is a perfect system for beginners too. It is a step-by-step guide. No experience is required.

We have been having so much fun with learning though we just started this week. It is nice because it gives my husband and I some special time together even when we are practicing.   Like I mentioned, we are not pros by any means. This DVD is totally designed for beginners, no dance experience is required. It truly shows you all the steps and you can stop it and start it as you need to. I can't believe that we are really learning how to Swing Dance a little bit. We are not the best dancers out there so to say we are really getting the hang of it is amazing, but true. It is very easy to follow the steps.  It is fun too. We are officially making it a little dance instruction date night a few times a week after the kids go to bed.

Swing Dance 2 DVD set for Beginner's to learn how to swing dance and have some fun at the same time. This is a Fun, social, step by step DVD to learn swing dancing. It's a 2 DVD set, and the one we got to review is the first of the 2 DVDs. 

This is great for beginners of any age that want to learn how to dance swing. I am sure you will love this 2 DVD set just as much as we do and have tons of fun learning all the steps. This is a perfect gift too.

This is a fun and different gift that would be a perfect Christmas or Hanukkah idea for your friends or even for your spouse. You can pick up the Swing Dance DVD right on Amazon for easy as pie gift buying.

Healed 1 Phytoceramides - Facelift in a Bottle Review + Giveaway #faceliftinabottle



I really try to take great care of my skin and I do whatever I can to keep it looking good short of surgery. Here is a better option to try that I recently heard about and figured I would give it a try myself. I have heard a lot about Phytoceramides.  Some data seem to suggest they might be an effective way to fake a facelift. 


This might be a Better idea instead of spending $$$ on Facial Injections. I have seen those ladies out there in the stores and walking down the street. It is always a real shock but many women inject chemicals into their face only to get that temporary and unnatural "frozen-face" look. Healed 1 Phytoceramides are a natural way to hydrate facial skin from the inside out. This can reduce the size of pores and lines around the face and neck.


Better than other options out there and Healed 1 Phytoceramides are 100% natural. These are exactly the type of phytoceramides (lipowheat) and in the same dosage (350mg) that is optimal for your body to absorb. Each and every batch is quality tested for purity and potency at our FDA approved facility right in the USA. They are based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Better to Look more youthful and fresh. Healed 1 Phytoceramides shared with me that they can help smooth and soften the look of your skin while at the same time diminishing dark age spots and sun damaged skin.

Organic Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Matcha Review #OrganicCeremonialGradeMatcha



I love to drink green tea but Matcha tea is the best. I had the opportunity to try this organic matcha cermonial grade tea recently.  This is a matcha directly from Japan. You can drink it with just hot water or you can use it as part of a recipe like in a smoothie. The company has even taken the time to create a lovely recipe guide that tons of other ways to enjoy your Matcha tea. But this type of Matcha itself is best for drinking because of its sweeter, and smoother taste


There are tons of Matcha powders in the market today but this one is quite special. You will know it when you first taste it too. It is so sweet and smooth. It tastes fresh with no aftertaste. This Matcha is grown in the top tea-producing Shizuoka region of Japan which is recognized by the United Nations as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System.

this organic Matcha is crafted by a certified organic family-owned Japanese tea farm that has been operating since 1915, run by the same family for over 3 generations. That is over 100 years of organic farming experience!  I really like that.

If you are not familiar with it, Matcha is a fine powdered form of shade grown green tea leaves. This means you consume the entire leaf providing your body and mind with a maximum concentration of Polyphenols and EGCG. They are full of healthy anti-oxidants. One serving provides up to 137 times the anti-oxidants of brewed green tea. They also use 100% first harvest tea leaves in this organic Matcha also known as Sae Midori cultivar.



This Organic Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Matcha provides mild, steady energy for your body since it acts both as a stimulant and a relaxant. This is ideal for focusing even when your day gets extremely hectic like mine.  An exciting fact is that consuming matcha green tea can increase thermogenesis (how you burn calories) from a normal 8%-10% to between 35% and 43% of daily energy expediture.  It truly gives you that afternoon metabolism boost but in a healthy way.

​Data has shown that Matcha Green Tea can even support the skin against skin damage from harmful UV rays. Drinking green tea and especially organic green tea can also support improved blood flow and oxygen levels which can contribute to the overall quality of the skin.  That is one of the reasons I started drinking it a few years ago. I think you need to make sure you drink it regularly to see benefits which makes sense.  Antioxidants are essential as you age to support your body's natural defenses against oxidation. I would rather drink a freshly brewed cup of Matcha tea to get healthy energy each day versus some of those energy drinks out there.  This tastes great and is a snap to brew up with hot water. No sugar or sweetener needed.

You can find this great Organic Matcha right on Amazon for super easy shopping anytime.

Idina Menzel Holiday Wishes album is here just in time for Christmas! #HolidayWishes #O2O

I participated in the Idina Menzel Holiday Wishes album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided an album to review but all opinions are my own.

Wow, I can't believe Christmas is almost here. It always seems to go so fast. I love all the holiday music...there is nothing more exciting to get me in the holiday cheer mode. I was excited to hear about a new release that just came out from one of my fave artists. Holiday Wishes, a Christmas album recorded by Tony Award-winning singer/actor Idina Menzel, is just out now on Warner Bros. Records.

You know this one is going to be a winner when you hear the producer.  Yup...the legendary Walter Afanasieff.  Walter is the Grammy Award-winner  who has worked with stars like Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion and even Mariah Carey.  This amazing album features such classic favorites as “All I Want For Christmas Is You” and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” as well as Joni Mitchell’s classic Christmas-themed “River,” the last one is not surprisingly one of Menzel’s favorites.


I can't say enough about this album but another little highlight is a special duet with international (gorgeous) superstar Michael BublĂ© on “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” An exclusive Target edition of Holiday Wishes features two bonus tracks, including “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”  Awww, I love that song and Idina does it so well.
 
We all know Idina most fondly as Elsa in Disney’s global box-office smash Frozen. Of course she sings the film’s Oscar-winning song “Let It Go.” Every child and adult still just LOVES that song. It is so sweet.  Did you catch her performing that multi-platinum song at the 86th annual Academy Awards? After that she made history as the first person with both a Billboard Top 10 hit and a Tony Award for acting.
Right now Idina currently stars as Elizabeth in the original Broadway production of If/Then.  You might want to consider getting online to get those tickets fast before they sell out this holiday season.
