Salad To Go Container Serving Cup (Set of 2) Review

I am your typical last minute busy woman, who packs a lunch too late and has to toss my stuff in mix matched tupperware that I find hidden in my cabinets. This of course tends to look completely unprofessional, and can prove to be quite embarassing.

The Salad-To-Go Serving Containers make taking lunch to work with me, such a hassle free experience. They come in a 2 pack, and both have a strong sturdy lid, an attached plastic fork, and a small container to fill with your dressing. If you have fruit, you can drop a few spoons of yogurt to dip your fruit in too, why not take both? 











The containers are made of recyclable material, and are BPA free. They're so easy to clean up whether you decide to hand wash, or place them in the dishwasher. (They're dishwasher safe.) All materials that make up the container are a strong hard plastic. The lid pops on and stays on through transit. The fork is stronger than a regular plastic forks you buy at stores or those that come with your fast food orders. Bottom Line, the fork is going to last, granted you don't lose it.

The one thing I would suggest though is that you keep the container standing up right, because the dressing cup tends to seep it's contents. It doesn't cause a mess, it just gets the sides of your small container a bit wet. This has happened only once to me, but that's because I learned to keep my container standing up in my lunch bag, and not just toss it in my car with the rest of my bags.

This container is just such a convenience. It makes packing lunch so much easier. I toss my ingredients in it, and get going. I love it. No more embarrassing mismatched tupperware containers. This is definitely the way to go. Check out the Salad To Go Containers on Amazon.com. The set of 2 are available for only $11.99. That's a steal! Click the link below and order yours today.

GloryFeel Omega 3 Fish Oil

I've been a huge fan of fish oil supplements for such a long time. I'm always looking for the ones that provide the most for me, in regards to the benefits I will feel.

I received the Gloryfeel Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplements a few weeks ago, and have been taking them ever since. Although they are some of the largest gel tabs I've taken, the fact that they have 2000 mg of Fish Oil per serving just makes the large size become the least of my worries.






Omega 3 Fish Oil supplements have some strong benefits. They support the health and wellness of your joints, your skin, and your brain. They also greatly support our moods. One of the greatest benefits though, is that of our heart. Fish Oil helps reduce blood pressure, reduce triglycerides, and lessens the chance of sudden cardiac death in people with heart disease. It also reduces the chance of abnormal heart rhythm, and slows the development of plaque in the arteries. So many great heart benefits, especially if you have heart disease in your family.

The benefits of Omega-3 Fish Oil, is just too great for you not to be taking them Check out the link below to see all the great reviews being left on the GloryFeel Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplements. They retail for $24.99 for a 120 count bottle. Take the fish oil route to better your health today.

Life & Food Omega-3 Supreme 1400 mg Fish Oil Concentrate Review & Giveaway



I've been on the search for a great Omega-3 supplement for a while now. My husband and I both purchase and take Omega-3, but I'm often left with a gross taste in my mouth, and I can not forget to mention the constant burping... Gross, I know, but it always happens. A gross fishy-tasting burp. If I'm leaving my house, I make sure NOT to take any, just so that I'm not left feeling uncomfortable around people, or just gross in general. I hate not taking them though, because I do feel an overall sense of well-being when I do take them, maybe it's because I know that I'm taking something that's beneficial to my health.

(photo cred: life & food)

I was selected to review the Life & Food Omega 3 Supreme 1400 mg Fish Oil Concentrate for free, in exchange for my honest review. I was immediately hooked by the "No-Fish Burp" promise on their listing on Amazon. This has always been my biggest concern, so I was super excited to get to try them.



Other Omega-3 Fish Oil Supplements have been larger capsules, but these were small, easy to swallow gel capsules. They have an enteric coat for maximum fatty-acid absorption that helps eliminate the fish-burps. It also helps to increase the absoption of Omega-3's by blocking the acid in the stomach from breaking down the capsules too early in the digestion process.


*These fish oil supplements contain over 75% Omega-3s which is much more than other leading brands and store brands which contain70% and lower. They are USA manufactured in a laboratory approved by the FDA. They're distillation process removes heavy metals, PCB's and other toxins to amounts that are below detectable for human consumption.

My experience so far with the Life & Food Omega-3 Supreme Fish Oil supplements, have been about 95% positive. I love that there is no fish taste, that was my biggest issue. I know some of the side effects of taking Fish-Oil Supplements can include upset stomach, loose stools, nausea, but I haven't experienced any of them. What I have noticed though, is that I am still burping, only it's not fishy. So I'm comfortable with it, they aren't LOUD manly burps either, more of the quiet, to my self kind. (I can't believe I'm even talking about this.) Anyway, you can purchase the Life & Food Omega-3 Supreme Fish Oil Concentrate on Amazon.com. There are 90 ct ($22.00) , and 180 ct ($24.95) bottles available for purchase. You can also enter to win a bottle for you try with the giveaway I'm posting below. Be sure to enter for your chance to win these amazing Omega-3 supplements. So far, these are my new favorites. Hubby agrees too.

Hango Lunch Bag Review (Set of 2)


A few days ago, my 4 year old niece had Open Heart Surgery. I was going to be babysitting her 2 year old little sister, my niece Lucy, for the week, and knew that we'd be spending a lot of time visiting the hospital. I received this 2 set of Hango Lunch Bags for free, in exchange for my honest review. I was so excited to receive them, as I knew they were going to arrive just in time to make sure I could pack some snacks for Lucy, and not have to spend an arm and a leg on snacks for her from the hospital.


On the day of surgery, the longest day we had at the hospital, I packed up both lunch bags, to test them out. This was going to be a great time to test them out, as I was packing cold products, and could see how long they'd stay cold in the bags.




The lunch bags are a beautiful carnation pink color, with a brown handle, and a very strong and sturdy zipper. The inside features a grayish silver liner, with a thick thermal insulation. Both these bags came in a really nice cotton drawstring bag (BONUS.) I packed quite a few items into my lunch bags, potato chips, microwaveable macaroni, pop corn, Smuckers uncrustables, and some Coconut Water. I expected the bags to buckle at the center with the weight of the drinks. Surprisingly, though, this did not happen. My coconut waters stayed pretty cold, even though they had been sitting inside the bag for a few hours. The insulation, is top notch. The padding is quite thick, so it keeps everything cold, and I'm sure very warm as well. I don't think I've ever owned any lunch bags that have this amount of padding in them.

One very small downside, which doesn't last long, was the strong plastic scent the bags have when you first open up the package. It's quite strong, but it does wear off overtime. So this is not something that'll linger, and put me off from using them. Just let them air out before you use them, and you'll be good to go for as long as the bags last. I do see them being around for a very long time, as they're so extremely well built. The zipper is very strong and sturdy as well. 

Small bag. Could hold more, but this is all I packed.

I have already told plenty of family about my lunch bags. Everyone LOVED the small one, it's size is just too adorable, and my little niece Lucy loved carrying it around. The bags retail on Amazon.com for $24.99 for the two bags. Large 6L x 6H x 10W in inches. and the small 5L x 5H x 7.5W in inches. Plus the white drawstring bag, that you can use to store the bags when not in use. They're so beautiful, they're chic, and elegant, but fun. These lunch bags can be used by anyone old or young. This is a 5 star product according to the Amazon.com reviews, and I completely agree with that rating. Take a look at what other people are saying as well. I'll leave the link the product down below. I highly recommend these bags to anyone and everyone.

Compressions Brand Adjustable Velcro Neoprene Knee Review

I'm going to be completely honest here. This knee brace was not for me. I was selected to review this product for free in exchange for my honest review, and was excited to receive it, because it is my mom who absolutely needs some sort of knee support.

My mom is a 2 time cancer survivor, she's gone through so many rounds of chemotherapy, that have left her with so much joint pain. She went from being an all around healthy woman, to being nearly worn down from her Chemo treatments, but mom is a trooper, she's a fighter, and even through her knee pain, she carries on throughout her days.

I presented the knee brace to her, told her exactly where it came from, and helped her put it around her knee. She has most of her pain in her right knee, which causes her to take one step on the stair case at a time. I kid you not when I tell you, that she was able to get herself off the couch so much easier after putting this brace on. She made me a face like "WOW." I smirked at her not realizing that getting off the couch was always such a problem for her. So she was shocked to get up so easily.






My mom immediately pointed out the comfort the circular cushion around the knee cap provided. It made for bending her knee so much easier. So as for her first impression, she was absolutely loving this knee brace.

A few days after her initial fitting, I decided to question her about the brace. The things she mentioned most, were the fact that she loved the silicone anti-slip strips. She said, it allowed her to walk around the house a lot easier, because it wasn't sliding down her leg like the brace she had before. She said it was lightweight, comfortable, and there wasn't any bulk to the brace.

It's been several weeks since she started wearing the brace, and she has most definitely seen some improvements in her knee. She's able to walk for longer distance without having to stop and sit to give her knee a break. She has even gotten to the point where she can actually take the stairs normally instead of slowly, and one at a time. She can alternate legs now painlessly, and that is ALL i wanted for her. I think we have finally found the comfort my mom needs and deserves.

If you're looking for a great fitting, anti-slipping, knee brace, then this one is definitely for you. The Compressions Brand Adjustable Band retails for $24.99 on Amazon.com. Worth every penny.
