What is the first thing that you think of when giving flowers on Valentines Day? Roses. It's the classic flower that everyone gives...and boring. Stand out from the rest by giving her something a little different and unique. Here are a few alternative flower gift ideas that are all under $60 (before shipping). Orchids With purple dendrobium orchids, green carnations, dark pink Sweet William, an emerald palm leaf and other tropical greens, this arrangement is unique. This is perfect for anyone who wants to add some Zen to any room, and the orchids will last a very long time. Having had orchids in the past, I suggest picking up some orchid food to go along with it. They are very picking, and need to be in a well lit area.

Product Review – Copper Wear Knee Sleeve
A few weeks back, I was sent a Copper Wear Knee Sleeve to try out and review. It’s an ‘As Seen On TV’ product and they make an entire line of copper clothing and supports. The design incorporates specially formulated high-performance nylon, and is impregnated with heat-conducting copper fibers. This helps necessary blood flow and provides essential joint compression. As with the previous copper knee product I tested, I got a Large (17 1/2"-19"). It was very comfortable, and not insanely tight like the other. In fact, it was almost a little loose sometimes depending on how much my leg is swelling for the day. I can wear it all day and it doesn’t make my skin sweat or get itchy. It’s also great for compression and my knee does feel better when I’m wearing it. Now, on to the big question: Is it better because of the copper? I can’t really say one way or another. I’ve got several compression & support sleeves lying around, and I use them all depending on what is going on with my ...
Product Review – Copper Fit Compression Sleeve
A few weeks ago, I was sent a Copper Fit Compression Sleeve to test out and review. It’s made with lightweight antimicrobial performance fabric infused with the highest quality copper, and provides comfortable compression for support and extended wear. It helps improve circulation, prevents strain and speeds healing. I’ve heard a lot over the years about copper having healing/health properties, and this is the first time I’ve tried a product with copper in it. I opted for the knee sleeve since I’m always looking for something to help with the fluid buildup & lingering pain in my right knee (which has occurred daily to some extent since I had the knee surgery a few years back). The first think I noticed right away was that the upper band was very tight on my thigh. I even went back and re-measured to make sure that I got the right size, a Large (17 1/2"-19"), which I did. I was able to wear it for a little bit, but had to take it off 15 to 20 minutes later after my leg ...
