A few weeks ago, I was sent a copy of The Mommy MD Guide to Losing Weight and Feeling Great. The book has over 700 tips from doctors, who are also mothers, on how to lose weight, fight fatigue, boost their mood, and more. The book is broken into several chapters & has two parts. The first part covers losing weight. There are tips for staying motivated what to drink and eat, and what to consider when looking at weight loss programs. There are also over 25 healthy recipes as well. The second part covers feeling great. There are tips on mood boosting and how to assess your self-esteem, and more recipes that focus on boosting energy. There is also a whole chapter about updating your look and looking your best to help your overall attitude toward yourself. My favorite parts are the recipes. The Busy Morning Oatmeal is really good, and somewhat similar to what I already make, minus the almonds. Several of the other recipes also look good too, like the Ginger-Soy Glazed ...

Product Review — Ozeri Green Earth Textured Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan
Last week, I was sent a 8 inch Green Earth Textured Ceramic Nonstick Frying Panfrom Ozeri. The Green Earth pan is a super non-stick pan that you don’t need to spray or coat with anything. The nonstick coating is called GREBLON and is made in Germany, while the pan itself is made in China. These types of pans have been advertised a great deal for a while now, and I’ve never gotten the chance to try one before. I was very excited since I don’t have any small nonstick pans. The two pans that I do have, a 12 inch and a griddle, constantly get food stuck to them and a have to coat them with something. The pan it’s self has a good weight to it, and the handle is riveted on. The bottom of the inside has a grooved pattern, which also helps keep food from sticking. I decided to cook scrambled eggs in it, since that always seems to stick. I didn’t put anything in the pan other than the eggs; no butter or nonstick spray. I was worried that the eggs would at least stick in the groves, but ...
Product Review — Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial
Last week Ozeri sent me one of their Rev Digital Bathroom Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial. Ozeri is a maker of digital lifestyle products for the modern home. They carry a large number of products for kitchens, bathrooms, and more. The face of the scale is a combination of dial and digital, and runs on 3 AAA batteries (included). You’re able to see where you are on the dial and the exact weight is displayed in digital numbers. There is also a built in alarm that reminds you to weight yourself at the same time each day. The base is a pale green tempered glass with a decorative tapered edge. With it being glass, you would think it would break. However, it’s surprisingly sturdy. We all tried it out multiple times. The whole look is very modern and sleek. You would think it’s some sort of decoration at first glance. I really like the digital display, mostly because I can now get an accurate weight measurement on my daughter. I can also get good measurement on ...
Book Review — Fire Light by J. Abram Barneck
Fire Light is the first in the Trinity of Mind young adult fantasy series by first-time author J. Abram Barneck. Jake is a jeek, part jock & part geek, who lives a relatively normal life and hopes to get away from home by getting a football scholarship. Suddenly, he finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy to exterminate all the Druids in the world and more girl problems than he can handle. Will he be able to protect his loved ones as well as himself? The story was a little slow up first, but it picked up pretty quick. The plot was solid and stayed on course the entire story. All the characters were likable and very well developed. I really found myself not being able to put it down, and ended up reading it in about a day and a half. I first thought that the love triangle was going to be a rehash of Twilight. But I was very happy to be wrong. he added a very unique twist & looks to be taking it in a different direction than what you would normally expect. I am ...
Product Review — Ozeri INSTAVACK Green Earth Food Container Storage Set
Last week, I was sent an Ozeri INSTAVACK Green Earth food container storage set. Ozeri is a maker of digital lifestyle products for the modern home. They carry a large number of products for kitches, bathrooms, and more. The set comes as eight pieces: 4 bottoms of various sizes & 4 matching lids. Each container can be vacuum sealed by pressing down on the lid once it’s latched. This helps keep food fresher for longer periods of time. The bottom has a wave design that keeps fruits and vegetables elevated and out of their juices, which can cause them to go bad faster. There is also a dial the let you keep track of the days as well. I go through plastic containers like crazy. My husband tends to leave them outside if he’s grilling, and I wear the cheaper ones out when marinating assorted meat. The Orezi containers are made of a thick, sturdy plastic. The lid has closure flaps on all four sides and seals tightly. When I turned the tub upside down with beans in it, noting ...
Product Review — Multicolor Kid by Flattenme Books
Last week, I was sent a copy of Multicolor Kid by Flattenme Books. Flattenme allows you to personalize a children’s book with a photo of your child or with just their name. They have several titles to choose from, and you can also get t-shirts, bottles, and more. Multicolor Kid is customized with just your child’s name & and a dedication (no photos). Multicolor Kids relates all the colors to different aspects of your child: white for courage, blue for imagination, and so on. Each page corresponds to a different color, with very bright pictures. The child’s name is mentioned on each page, and all the text is large and easy to read. It’s a great beginner’s book for little children. My daughter loves pointing out all the different objects in the pictures. She also likes that the book is talking about her and mentions her by name. Ordering is fairly simple. You only need to fill in the desired named, language, and the dedication, if any. You also have a choice between ...
