Lose Weight and Feel Great! Get Extremely Ripped! Boot Camp Contest

May 2, 2011 by 129 Comments
One of the DVDs I have been using in my recent weight loss journey is Jari Love’s Get Extremely Ripped! Boot Camp.  This workout program is based on the premise of muscle confusion.  This means your body is constantly burning fat and building muscle because as one portion of your body is plateauing, another portion is just starting up.  So you are constantly working out at a higher rate.  I particularly like how this program doesn’t make you work out for a very long time in order to see a difference.  Plus- there are choices for the busy mama!  There are two 30 minue workouts and six 10 minute workouts, perfect for those short breaks between nap time and lunch time.  Of course- there is also an hour workout too, for when you really have time (and motivation!)  to sweat.   🙂
The workouts definately get you moving and keeps the flow of the workout going, this is not a “slacker” dvd program.  You definately have to move, and move quickly.  But I think it works.  An interesting characteristic of this DVD is the ability to either include or not/exclude other fitness products like a step, or other workout products.  All that is really needed is a pair of dumbbells (your husband and his bothersome friend don’t count!) and a workout mat.  Because there are 10 minute options, this is a workout that can even be brought on vacation with you.  I know, I know- who wants to think about working out on vaca?  But you don’t want to slip up or fall behind TOO much, right?  Stay on top of things!  And you can always substitute weights with something else like a shampoo and conditioner bottle.  Yes, I know they aren’t weights, or very heavy- but they are better then nothing, LOL!  
Here is a bit more info on Jari Love‘s Get Ripped! DVD for you-  
“You asked for it and now you’ve got it!  I have had a ton of success with the Get RIPPED! Bootcamp Program and decided it was time to bring Bootcamp to you in the comfort of your own home!

With Get Extremely RIPPED! Bootcamp – you will blast fat fast!  You’ll be amazed at how soon your body transforms into the best shape ever!  Research has shown that high intensity training and weight training are the best ways to lose unwanted pounds fast, increase your lean muscle mass and keep your metabolism revved all day long.  In Get Extremely RIPPED! Bootcamp we mix cardio and strength exercises so you are constantly moving and keeping your heart rate up.  You will burn maximum calories and build lean muscle tissue – both of which are essential to losing weight and keeping it off!  With the high energy music, you will be surprised how time flies because this workout is so much fun!”

Poofin Contest!

May 2, 2011 by 93 Comments

Little Man loves his Poofin.  He brings it all over the place.  Wait- you don’t know what a Poofin is?  Let me tell you all about it  🙂
Poofin, which debuted at NY Toy Fair this year, is a fun new toy that is sure to get you and your child talking.  It was created to help you and your children get to know each other better.  What they like, dislike- and all their favorites.  We often think we know out kids, but can be really surprised with some of their answers!  Poofin is a cute, soft, plush star.  Inside the Poofin, you can place little charms inside them, to personalize your Poofin and fill it with your child’s favorites.  Poofin comes in 3 colors, red, blue, and pink. 
Little was sent a red Poofin and a shark Charm.  He thought it was fun- and wanted to sleep on it, LOL.  It is soft and pillow-y!

A Poofin is an uber plush, star-shaped toy with a hollow center that can hold a collection of
small plush charms. The charms feature images of people, places and things kids are crazy
about. Over time, kids fill their pillow-sized Star with as many as 50 soft charms. Designed
to fit in a child’s bedroom, the Star and its contents allow a child to reflect on all the positive
experiences and things in their life. The Poofin Star is also perfectly portable for sleepovers and
road trips, helping kids who are on-the-go easily share who they are with friends and family.

“Poofin is a ‘must have’ for parents who want to raise a happier, more confident child,”
according to author and psychologist Maureen Healy. Healy is the founder of Growing Happy

Kids, a worldwide organization dedicated to bringing out the best in children and blogger for
PsychologyToday.com. She has written about how mirroring a child’s unique skills and interests,

an activity that Poofin facilitates, can be very positive and empowering for the child.

Poofin was tested with hundreds of kids, and one thing was certain – it got them talking about
who they are and what they like. As kids build their own Poofin charm collection, they get a
better understanding of just how awesome they are.

“A big part of Poofin is about asking questions and tapping into a child’s natural curiosity. Who
are you? Do you play a sport? What do you like to do for fun? Who is your best friend?” says
Poofin Co-founder Ann Bowar. “If the act of acknowledging what makes you unique and seeing
what makes you the one and only you can make you shine a little brighter, then we hope Poofin

can be an empowerment tool that helps kids navigate their journey through childhood.”

The first edition of Poofin charms, now available at poofin.com, features 20 unique images
of things kids love – from yummy ice cream cones, to graceful ballerinas, and even ferocious
sharks. The charms have looped tags so kids can easily attach their favorites to their backpack.
Kids can also create custom Poofin charms inside the online Poofin Factory.

Want to win a Poofin of you own?  You can be a trendsetter, and be the first in your town to have a Poofin  🙂
(And it’s OK- if you don’t win, you can still get one HERE– they are on sale as well!)

Guest Post- Educational App

May 2, 2011 by 7 Comments
 
Here is an interesting new service that could be a lifesaver for parents looking for an educational way to entertain their kids!
Science Days Out is a new iPhone app which promises to share the best science centers and other educational experiences in the US. It includes opening hours, websites, maps, pictures and , making it really easy to pick a place at the last minute, put the kids in the car and just go!
You can also see which attractions are closest to you and read reviews, as well as submitting your own.
All of the most famous kids’ favorites – the awesome USS Intrepid aircraft carrier in New York (did you know they put Concorde on the deck? – it’s amazing) and the Franklin Institute in PA, for example – are in there, although there are also plenty of smaller science centres in virtually every state.
It’s priced at $0.99, and there is an Android version is coming soon too if you don’t have a SmartPhone –but  if you do, why not give it a go and let fellow Moms know what you think? Just visit the site below or search for “science days out” in the app store on your iPhone/iPod/iPad!

Time To Play- little update

May 1, 2011 by 7 Comments

So- while I am waiting for my photos to upload from Thursday’s Time To Play event in NYC, I thought I would let you all know (anyone who isn’t a Twitter Follower, that is!) what the Most Wanted for Spring were.
I was tweeting during the event, and after- but if you are not a follower or you don’t have Twitter- here is the list for you  🙂

http://www.timetoplaymag.com/mostwanted/2011/spring/

Little Man has his own ideas- & there were some I was surprised didn’t make it!  But all in all, I think it was a good list.  
Little Man is IN LOVE with the new Fisher Price Hero World Captain Cuffs Toy, among others.
Here is a little background on Captain Cuffs- 
“Fisher-Price Hero World Rescue Hero Figures – Captain Cuffs. The Rescue Heroes Basic Assortment will bring new excitement to the Fisher Price Hero World action figure line. In this assortment is Perry Trooper, Billy Blazes, and Captain Cuffs. Each figure features it’s own actionator, a “back pack” and accessory. Captain Cuffs comes with a shield, cuff, and cuff launcher. Turn Captain’s actionator to move his shielf for protection. If he needs to capture a criminal, just press a button on the launcher to fire the cuff.”

He has not put it down!  That, the tiny Caillou toy, or the Pokemon Pokeball, which is strange, because he has never watched the Pokemon show!  They both came EVERYWHERE with us Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and we were home all day today, so….
I have some great photos of some of the new toys, and I will post them and a full review of all the great new toys as soon as the upload is complete.  I will give you the skinny on the Most Wanted Toys from the Time To Play list as well as what else we saw! 
Have a Happy Monday!  LOL…

My Beautiful Mommy”: Ground-Breaking
New Children’s Book on Plastic Surgery

World Renown Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer Helps Parents Explain Cosmetic Surgery to Children
Young children are naturally curious – they’re full of questions and excited to learn about the world they live in.  However, as times change, children’s curiosities have addressed more complex and sensitive issues, often at younger ages.  In today’s American culture, more than ever, answers can increasingly be found in children’s books.  Everything from divorce and global warming to potty habits and how to deal with a death in the family, children’s books have tackled it all.  Dr. Michael Salzhauer, a Miami board-certified plastic surgeon and father of four, has taken the reins on a very hot topic and wrote “My Beautiful Mommy,” the first ever children’s book that addresses plastic surgery.
“From television to magazines, we are exposed to plastic surgery,” says Dr. Salzhauer, “it has become an everyday circumstance, especially for children.  From their favorite movie star or singer who suddenly looks different to their own parents, plastic surgery is an issue that needs to be explained to kids in an educational way.”  
Dr. Salzhauer was inspired to write “My Beautiful Mommy” after his four-year-old daughter bombarded him with questions regarding his own nose job. He also noticed that many of his clients came into his office with inquisitive kids in tow – and mothers not knowing how to handle their questions appropriately. “I know how scary and intimidating a doctor’s office can be for most children,” says Dr. Salzhauer. “Kids tend to fill in the blanks in their imagination when they see mommy in bandages and they often feel sad, hurt and confused as to what happened.  This book is meant to be a guide for parents who have already decided to undergo plastic surgery; and help explain to their children why mommy looks different.”  Dr. Salzhauer recognizes the controversial element of his book.  “This book is not promoting plastic surgery.  As I have taught my own children, beauty has many definitions – it is not only a physical entity.”
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2007, one third of the 348,000 breast augmentations and 148,000 tummy tucks were “mommy makeovers,” or surgeries designed for women seeking to restore sagging body parts due to aging or pregnancy weight gain. “Plastic surgery among women, especially mothers post-pregnancy, is very popular and becoming a common reality. Cosmetic surgery can be a difficult topic to understand for adults; and even more so for young children. I wanted to provide my patients and other parents with a tool that speaks to kids in a kid-friendly way.”  
About “My Beautiful Mommy”
“My Beautiful Mommy” by Michael Salzhauer, M.D. is available for purchase at Amazon.com and www.mybeautifulmommy.com for $19.95.  A book summary and a complete bio of the author are also available at the My Beautiful Mommy Web site.  The book is published by Big Tent Books.
Give Your Skin a Breath of Fresh Air
Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. Introduces DERMACYTE® Skin Care Products to Reduce the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Dermacyte Oxygenating Eye Complex
Dermacyte Oxygenating Eye Complex is a smooth, delicate treatment to refresh, hydrate and restore the appearance of youth to your eye contour area. It is designed to enhance the skin’s hydration, elasticity and smoothness while protecting it against environmental stress. Dermacyte Oxygenating Eye Complex is a gentle marriage of modern technology and nourishing emollients extracted from avocado essence, oat kernel, sunflower oil, the calming High Ash, a tree indigenous to European forests rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C and seeds from the Pacific Northwest Meadowfoam plant among other nurturing ingredients.
It provides a lightweight solution with its patented technology, a powerful oxygen-carrier developed to infuse oxygen for a fresher appearance and overall improved complexion.  It immediately imparts a cool, moisturizing effect while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These effects along with skin brightening and anti-irritating benefits deliver a lighter and healthier feel to your skin. Price: $95. 15 ml

Oxygen is one of the most basic necessary requirements for life and an essential nutrient for the esthetic benefit of skin care.  Consequently, oxygen treatments have emerged in the last few years as the newly recognized skin care essential. From creams to spray treatments (including oxygen inhalation), spas and dermatology offices across the country now offer oxygen-based products and treatments to their clients. In fact, celebrities reportedly utilize oxygen treatments regularly in an effort to maintain younger, healthier-looking skin.  “Among the many benefits of oxygen is its ability to assist in the production of collagen and elastin which are important elements in the repair and regeneration of skin,” says Dr. Gerald Klein, Chief Medical Officer for Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc., a biomedical product development company dedicated to commercializing innovative pharmaceuticals, cosmetics  and medical devices in the field of oxygen therapeutics. “For years, doctors have recognized this fact and used it in the treatment of wounds that simply would not heal otherwise.”  In addition, oxygen depletion is one of the leading contributing factors to the development of wrinkles, fines lines and premature aging of the skin.  It contributes to dehydration, uneven skin tone and a dull complexion. As we grow older, the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to skin tissue becomes less efficient. The lower oxygen levels in the body affect our ability to make collagen, which is an essential structural support to the skin.Previously, the only way to deliver oxygen to the skin was through hyperbaric oxygen chambers or the use of harsh chemical reactions with hydrogen peroxide, which can bleach and damage the skin. Recently, Oxygen Biotherapeutics introduced DERMACYTE Oxygen Concentrate, the only skin care product that provides high concentrations of oxygen directly to the skin without harsh side effects.  DERMACYTE Oxygen Concentrate is a cream that is absorbed rapidly without leaving an oily residue on the skin. After application, your face is ready for your usual routine.

Re-Tweet Club!

May 1, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Want help sharing your posts, reviews, and giveaways? Want to increase your Klout? Then you’ve come to the right place!

Let’s help each other out with retweets!

Join the Retweet Club!

With your hosts:

@Syrana, @Marirene74, and @HaveSippy

The Rules:

1 – The first rule about the Retweet Club is to talk about the Retweet Club.

2 – Tweet the last entry on the spreadsheet (copy and paste!) – The first spot will always be about the RT Club post!

3 – Choose any post you want that’s family friendly!

4 – Add your tweet to be retweeted – typed AS you want it tweeted (refer to the first spot for an example).  Please make sure it is only 140 characters.

5 – Use bit.ly or tinyurl to shorten your post links.

6 – You can retweet more than one and post more than one request.  We ask that you retweet one for each that you post.  We will randomly tweet off the list too.

Optional – You can follow the hosts and send us a tweet telling us you are part of the #RTClub and we’ll follow you back!

If you’d like the code to post the listing on your blog, please contact me and I’ll send it to you.

**PLEASE NOTE** It takes about 5 minutes for the spreadsheet on this post to update with your submission.  To see the spreadsheet and confirm your information was recorded you may CLICK HERE.
