The worst part of moving from the country, to my own place in Norman, Oklahoma a few years ago was that I left the delicious well water behind for Norman water... the most disgusting city water I've ever had, YUCK! I've tried numerous water filters, pur, Brita, the pitchers, the ones that hook on the faucet, nothing would get rid of that taste (YUCK)! I was looking online one night and I came across Mavea Inspired Water , and I heard great things, but I'd heard great things about other filters too, and well, I told you how that turned out... YUCK! So I decided I wanted to try Mavea out and see how it stacked up!  I was SO excited to get this cool pitcher in the mail! It has an indicator on the lid that shows what % of life the current filter has left, so you always know when to change the filter! It has little rubber feet so it doesn't slip, and it's just sleek and looks pretty cool, for a water pitcher ;)  The best part is that the water taste amazing

Zevia is an all natural ZERO CALORIE soda!  Okay, so I said all natural, but let me break that down for you a bit.  That means it doesn't have any artificial anything, no aspartame or other artificial sweeteners ,  no artificial flavors, nothing but all natural delight! I'm not a big fan of diet drinks, because I hate the aspartame aftertaste, so I was very excited to try Zevia, and see if the natural sweeteners would be any better. They sent me an assorted 6-pack to try out for the review and will be sending the winner of this giveaway a coupon for a free pack of Zevia. My daughter and I both tried all six varieties that were sent to us, Black Cherry, Grapefruit Citrus, Orange, Dr. Zevia, Caffeine Free Cola, and Mountain Zevia. You can check out the  Zevia Facebook page  to see all their other flavors!  We found that the fruity flavors had a pretty strong aftertaste, which I didn't personally care for, because like I said, I don't like strong aftertastes, but my

If you read my previous post about Trim Energy and Go Greens , you know that I recently received a great package of Healthy To Go products to try out and giveaway on this blog.  My favorite thing about these products is that the ones that are okay for the whole family are noticeably marked "Family Approved," which makes it easy for both my daughter, who is eight, and me to tell which products are okay for her and which are just for Mom (usually the ones with caffeine that are directed towards energy or weight loss rather than general health and wellness). One product that actually isn't marked "Family Approved" but says that it's safe for children and adults over the age of four, are the VitaRocks , pictured above!  They are my daughter's absolute favorite vitamins ever! She couldn't get enough of these things!  They are similar to Pop Rocks in that they pop and snap in your mouth and they taste just like candy! She had a great time tak

If you've seen my pictures, you know I'm pretty fair skinned.  My daughter on the other hand has lovely dark Italian skin and makes fun of me for being "electric white" lol.  (Yes, I get picked on by an eight year old... sad, I know!) So, I was extremely excited when I heard that Fake Bake, a company that has not only perfected self tanning, but makes products that are paraben free and made in the USA, was working with bloggers!!! I was even more excited when they accepted my offer to do a review of one of their products!!! I was shocked when I used Fake Bake's Beyond Bronze Self-Tanning Mousse for the first time.  It didn't stink, it didn't stain, and it dried really quickly! Plus, it was really easy to use! It's color allows you to see where you have applied it, and the smooth mousse formula allows you to apply it like a lotion. Plus, it felt great on my skin! My absolute favorite part of this amazing Fake Bake product was that I didn't lo

This Giveaway is being presented by SaraLee's Deals Steals & Giveaways We are guided by the relentless focus to inspire people to be engaged in their health, try new things, seek adventure, and be active in their communities. Everything begins with our “ Shake it Baby ” concept. It implies two things: 1. To shake the drink up, and 2. To get out and make things happen, to do something productive and meaningful, to make a difference. We don’t want the seeds to settle in the bottle…settling implies going nowhere, being complacent. So… Be active, be mindful of your health, your family, and the world around you! I want to say my husband was very surprised over the Drink Chia . At fist my husband crinkled his nose up and was like oh boy this isn't going to taste good but as soon as he took a sip he smiled and was said "Wow this is really good." My husband drank the bottle before work and called me on his first break saying that
