Diabetic Advanced Healing Cream Review

It seems as if everyone knows someone who is affected by diabetes.  Diabetes leaves your skin feeling dry and itchy.  It can be really difficult to find a product that provides relief.  Neoteric Cosmetics, a subsidiary of Scott’s Liquid Gold, has created a Diabetic Advanced Healing Cream to improve the quality of life for those living with Diabetes. This cream is an exceptional intensive treatment for chronic dry, cracked, damaged, slow healing skin. Containing TriOxygenC®, Neoteric Diabetic Oxygenated Advanced Healing Cream is clinically proven to increase circulation and speed skin's healing by strengthening its own natural defenses.

I don't have diabetes, but my feet are always extremely dry so I decided to try this product. It is the only lotion I have found that gives me the relief I need.  It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy, and makes the itching and dryness go away. I use it daily to keep my feet soft and healthy! It is a great lotion and has no fragrance, so any one can use it! It works great anywhere on the body that you need that extra relief from dry itchy skin! I love it and will continue to use it!

Boiron Homeopathic Value Pack Review & Giveaway

Have you heard of Homeopathic medicine?  Have you used any before? For me, it started with teething tablets when my now 5 year old started teething as a baby.  The Orajel and Tylenol didn't quite do the job, so we gave her the teething tablet.  The combination of the three medicines seemed to soothe my baby and help her with her teething. And a quiet happy baby means a happy family! But that was all I had tried as far as Homeopathic treatments.

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathic medicines are therapeutically active micro-doses of mineral, botanical and biological substances.  They are reliable and safe drugs, therefore considered by many as an excellent first choice when self-medicating. Homeopathy has been used for more than 200 years, building a remarkable safety record and generating a great body of knowledge.  Today, homeopathy is used by millions of patients in more than 65 countries and recommended by more than 400,000 healthcare providers.

Recently I got to try the Boiron Homeopathic Value Pack. I decided to try it the first day I felt a sore throat and slight runny nose when I woke up.  My husband woke up that day with the same symptoms. I followed the directions of the Coldcalm-take 2 tablets every 15 minutes for 2 hours, then continue every 2 hours to take 2 tablets.  The next day I was better! No cold, no sore throat-no kidding! My husband suffered with the cold about a week, getting far worse than that first day! I was so happy to be healthy!!

When my 2 year old was recently sick with a temp of 103, my husband I got very worried.  She wouldn't take liquid medicines and was becoming dehydrated because she wasn't drinking much either. After spending several hours in the pediatricians office, we were sent home.  We still couldn't get medicine in her but were hoping to get her better without a trip to the hospital.  When she woke up from a nap I got her to take one of the doses of oscillococcinum. Within 15-20 minutes her fever was down, she was eating and drinking, running around...it was a complete turn around! 

The following day we took her back to the doctor for a follow up. The doctor was shocked that the homeopathic medicine is what worked to help her fever go down.  But really I think it was! The medicine was like a little tube of sprinkles so she took it without a fight! Of course, it isn't really sprinkles, but the similarity helped the situation!  I was so glad that something worked and helped her to feel better during a time that she was very ill! I recommend anyone who is sick to try these products!

You can try this great product out for yourself! Here is how you can win the value pack Sponsored by Tomoson.com!!

Did you know that nighttime nasal congestion can affect your sleep, which then impacts how you feel the next day? Whether you are suffering from stuffiness due to colds, allergies, or a deviated septum, Breathe Right has a drug-free solution that works instantly and can help you breathe better, sleep better, and feel better.
 So how can we keep our family healthy during this time of year?  Here are some tips from my family to yours!:


1. Take a multi vitamin! I have found my daughter's get less cold when I have them taking a children's vitamin than when they don't use them.  There are many different forms of vitamins available, like regular pills, chewables, gummy or even a powder supplemetnt.


2. Get a balanced diet.  Eating a healthy diet and including fruits and veggies are key to good health.  By eating right, you are giving your body the nutrients it needs to fight off illness and keep your immune system up and running!


3.  Stay active! This will help you stay healthy not just now but in the long run.  Leading an active lifestyle results in fewer serious health issues, especially as you get older!


4.  Clean!!!!  Be concious of things like germy counters, door handles, etc.  Wash down counters daily with a disenfecting spray or wipe to keep germs off food.  Wipe down door handles, light switches and other things that are in constant contact with hands to prevent spreading germs.


5. And speaking of hands!! Make sure you and your family are avid hand washers! This is one of the best ways to prevent spreading germs.  But it isn't always enough, you should use a hand sanitizer as well that is alcohol based to truly get rid of all those icky germs.


6.  Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. And do it with your elbow, not your hand.  This keeps you

My Blog Spark Progresso Healthier You Prize Pack Review & Giveaway

 As a mom of 3 growing little girls, I am always trying to help make sure they get the right foods. Seems like they are eating more than  usual lately! So I try to balance out their meals and be sure they eat healthy! One thing we love to eat in this house is soup!! And who else but Progresso to get great soups from??  I was recently selected from My Blog Spark to review and giveaway a great prize pack from Progresso!! I was thrilled to be selected!!

Progresso sent me a great "Healthier You" prize pack! This had some cans of soup, a super great soup cup, a workout dvd and an exercise ball!! I was super stoked, because I have been trying to drop those last few inches from all my pregnancies the last 5 years!! 3 babies in 5 years takes quite a toll on the body!!  

The soups were Chicken Gumbo and Tomato Parmesean!!

The chicken gumbo was really good! It has chicken, veggies rice and more!! This was the first of the two we tried, and the kids loved it! This is one of my best way to get veggies in them, via soup!  The meal is also hearty, and goes great with some corn bread!  

I really liked the Tomato Parmesan. Since we always eat regular tomato soup with grilled cheese, I thought I would try to feed this to the kids instead of the regular stuff! They loved it too and had a great time dipping their sandwiches in it! I loved that they were getting more veggies in this soup than regular old tomato soup!

AlternaVites review & Giveaway!

 I have found that taking vitamins helps to keep your immune system healthy, resulting in less colds and illnesses.  Unfortunately, most of the adult vitamins are big old horse pills that make me want to get sick lol.  There must be an easier way to get the vitamins you need without having to swallow a huge pill.  There is, and it is called alternaVites!  

Product Description

alternaVites was developed because no one needs another pill, tablet or capsule when it comes to vitamins.  The world doesn’t need another vitamin, it needs a breakthrough vitamins.  As there are over 100 million Americans that have difficulty swallowing pills (of which I am one), alternaVites lets you keep the vitamins while losing the pill.   Unlike anything else currently on the market, alternaVites multivitamin & mineral crystals contain 23 essential nutrients that are simply sprinkled on your tongue as they then dissolve in seconds. Whats more? alternaVites tastes delicious (mixed berry flavor), has no aftertaste, requires no water or preparation, and are packaged in daily dose packets for convenience and portability. 

Using a proprietary blend of ingredients, the alternaVites ä formula meets or exceeds that of leading national brands on the market.  And alternaVites is just as remarkable for what it doesn’t contain as for what it does: no sugar, no animal products or by products, no artificial colors, artificial flavors or preservatives, no chemicals used to glue pills together.With alternaVites there are no more excuses not to take your vitamins.  

This product reminded me of a pixie stick lol. You swallow the powder but it takes a while to do the whole packet.  The taste was okay, not too bad.  I just had a hard time getting all the powder.  It is definitely something that takes a bit of time. But it is a good alternative to pills. So it is a good product.

 You can win your own box of alternaVites, Sponsored by Tomoson.com Here is how to win:

MANDATORY ENTRY 2 PARTS MUST BE DONE FOR THE ENTRY AND EXTRA ENTRIES TO COUNT:

PART 1:  Tell me how you take vitamins! Do you take adult vitamins? Do you use child's chewable or gummy vites? Or do you not really take vitamins? Tell me in a comment!
PART 2: Follow me via Google Friend Connect
You must put both parts in the SAME comment and include your GFC name for the entry to count. Also must include an email to contact you to win, unless it is visible on your blogger profile.

"Treasure Your Chest" Program!

October is a month full of color, from the leaves on the trees to the orange pumpkins popping up everywhere. In addition to the warm autumn hues, there's another color that's synonymous with this month- pink! Yes, it's awesome to see this rosy shade take over everything from football fields to The White House as our country unites in the fight against breast cancer.

There are no shortage of breast cancer charities, campaigns and promotions to participate in this month, and all do their part to provide hope to countless women and support the research necessary to find a cure. Every little bit helps and we try to participate in all the pink that we can! However, when we came across this particular program that provides education, we knew we had to share it with our MomSelect members.

Moms, it's time to bond with your breasts! And the good news is, you can do so alongside other great women who are dedicated to spreading this proactive message.  In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, E! News host Giuliana Rancic and Lindsay Avner, founder of the national breast and ovarian cancer non-profit Bright Pink, "felt themselves up" during 'Treasure Your Chest' a live webcast to fight breast cancer hosted by Orbit White Bubblemint gum.
