I’m in Oklahoma this week visiting a friend/co-worker. So many people talk about visiting Italy, England or Australia. Me? I want to travel around our great country and see everything it has. Oklahoma is so flat. Much different than Vermont.

This weekend I will be traveling north through Kansas to Missouri and then catching a flight to Las Vegas. I’ve never been to Vegas. I think I’m most excited about seeing the lights and marking Vegas off my bucket list. I’ll only be there for a couple of days. Hoping to see the Hoover Dam and hopefully drive to the Grand Canyon.

I’ll post some photos later. Where in the USA have you always wanted to visit and why?

Today I wanted to share with you some photos of brightly colored owls I found online. Since my daughter went to college and now has the owl as her school mascot, I have found I have an obsession with owls. I LOVE them.

Good Greens Bars #Review

January 22, 2012

Share on TwitterShare on TumblrSubmit to StumbleUponSave on DeliciousDigg ThisSubmit to reddit

It’s 3pm and your tummy starts to growl, alerting you that you are hungry.  It’s not really time for dinner yet but you know if you don’t eat something soon, you’ll be filling your face with anything you can reach and it might not always be the best option.  I love keeping granola bars on hand for those type of hunger attacks.  I actually keep some in my purse also.  It seems like I get hungry whenever I drive past a McDonald’s or Burger King.

I have been searching for some healthy snack bars – they are not all created equal.  Some are more like candy bars.  I was lucky to receive a sampling of bars from Good Greens.  These bars contain 100% of your daily fruits, vegetables and vitamins and….they are tasty.  I was a little hesitant when I took my first bite, not sure what I was going to taste.  I was pleasantly and surprisingly surprised that they were really good.  I tried the Wildberry and the Peanut Butter varieties.

I also like my granola bars to contain protein – these bars have 12 grams.  My son usually will grab a granola bar from the ‘cookie” jar we have on our island and eat it on his way to school.  It’s important to me that he only eat bars that contain protein and are healthy for him.

Look at these ingredients:

Fruitrim (R) (Fruit Juices, Natural Grain Dextrins), Sunflower Butter, Z52 Superfood Powder, [Proprietary Blend of WholeFood: Spurlina*, Barley Grass*, Chorella, Wheat Grass Juice*, Wheat Sprout* , Nori (Seaweed), Acai Berry, Green Tea Extract, White Tea, Spinach* Dulse, Carrots* Broccoli Sprout*, Parsley*, Alfallfa Sprout Powder*, Raspberry, Pomegrante*, Blueberry*  Mulberry*, Goldenberries, Apple* Gogi Berry, Concord Grape, Grape Seed Extract, Pine Bark Extract, Mangosteen, Hydrilla Verticillata, Strawberry Leaves, Ground Flax (Non-GMO), Bilberry, Rice Bran, Beet Juice Powder, Soy Lecithin (Non-GMO), Acerola Berry, Rose Hips, Aloe Vera Juice, Milk Thistle, Ginger, Camu Powder*, Lucuma Powder,* Maca Powder*, Mesquite Powder*,  Probotics (Fructooligosaccharides, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus Salivarius, Bifidobacterium), Digestive Enzymes (Protease, Lipase, Amylase), Natural Resveratol, Omega-3 derived from “Plant Based” LifeDHA(R), Bioperine(R) (Natural Black Pepper), Hemp Powder, Chia Seeds], Soy Protein Isolate (Non-GMO), Gluten-Free Oats*, Agave Syrup, Wild Blueberries, (with White Grape Juice & Canola Oil) Freeze Dried Raspberries, Inulin,  Soy Protein Crisps, Organic Natural Flavors Sea Salt, Brown Rice Syrup

HandSan #Review

January 22, 2012

Share on TwitterShare on TumblrSubmit to StumbleUponSave on DeliciousDigg ThisSubmit to reddit

I hate winter and it has nothing to do with living in the northeast and dealing with the cold, snowy, icy weather – well maybe it does have a little to do with that.   With winter, comes the cold and flu season.  I wash and dry my hands so often that they actually get very dry.  I do my best to avoid spreading germs, if not to keep me from getting sick but to also keep my family from getting sick.

There are times when I don’t have soap, water or a wash cloth close by so I rely on water-less anti-bacterial cleaners.  I don’t always like all the chemicals that are in most of the ones on the market today.  I received a sample bottle of a product called HandSan in the mail.  It’s made from Bio Green Crystals and is all Organic and Alcohol-Free.  It kills 99.99% of germs naturally.  It also comes in liquid form, as opposed to a gel, and you spritz it on your hands.

 

Kills:

  • Ecoli
  • Salmonelle
  • Staphylococcus Aureus
  • Pseudomones Aeruginosa
  • and most common germs.

Make sure you stop by and enter to win your own bottle of HandSan.

Nails, Nails, Nails

Pin itWhat girl doesn’t love pampering themselves with a manicure? Me!  I’m actually one of those people who doesn’t like to go get a manicure. I find that when I get a manicure that the nail polish starts chipping off within a day or two. Therefore, I save myself the $40 and do my own [...]
