We had a bunch of fun making the Red Pepper Corn Chowder.  Of course Little Glamamama and I had to get sassy and add some white beans and extra corn....since Daddy is a vegetarian we used vegetable broth and added chicken to only our portions.  It looked wonderful as it was but I just can't help myself when I cook.


The whole shebang came together in minutes flat.  This would be a life-saver for busy weeknights.  It turned out super delicious!  We can't wait to try out the other varieties in the next few weeks.

I have been a yoga fiend the past few months.  Of course I am still doing all my crazy boot camp stuff but the yoga is so relaxing and it gets my tight muscles all stretched out.  I even fell asleep in the final relaxation portion of the class the other day....luckily I had   cushioned myself with the Shandali yoga towel so I stayed nice and comfortable.  I love this soft and absorbent towel! The Shandali Stickyfiber Hot Yoga Towel is the best.Great for warm or hot yoga classes when you get really sweaty.
Here is an easy way to increase your confidence and focus during your yoga or pilates class while your mat stays dry and you stay safe on your mat - no more slipping around!  No more borrowed or too small towels either. This is one of the best Bikram yoga, Pilates, fitness and exercise towels with a great lifetime guarantee.
The GoSweat towel is very absorbent and quick dries in a flash. It was actually designed to soak up sweat and moisture specifically for sports, fitness and yoga. I have been impressed that it really dries quickly. I do take care to wash after each class....I am very particular about cleaning my gym and yoga gear regularly.

Abundant Harvest for Teens & Adults Review + Giveaway #FaithandFamily




It can be a real challenge to find wholesome board games for family game night. How can a good parent get the kids unplugged? I recently had the opportunity to do just that with an innovative new board game that makes kids and adults alike THINK.  Abundant Harvest® for Teens & Adults is a patented, award-winning conversation game designed to help parents and educators open a door (in a fun way!)  to more effective communication, encourage decision making based on principles such as honesty, loyalty, and commitment with the intent of reinforcing the Law of the Harvest, simply, “you reap what you sow.” 

 

What does this fun game make you think about?  Abundant Harvest for Teens and Adults encourages open discussion on real-world situations and players are asked the question, “What would YOU do?” The questions are designed to not have a real definitive answer but to make the players go a little deeper inside themselves.  Teens and adults alike get to think about how their decisions, good and bad, might affect others and themselves in the short and long term. Some of the questions really bring up topics that patents might not have discussed with them but are important to their health, safety and happiness.  

Adults will enjoy the opportunity to interact with their teens in a personal but fun manner that doesn't happen as often as they like these days with the Internet and endless activities. Harvest® for Teens & Adult also opens the window a bit into the teen mind and provides an opportunity for more expansive discussions. Kids feel comfortable speaking their mind because, after all, it is "just" a game night.

My thoughts:  We love board games from Scrabble to Sorry but Harvest® for Teens & Adults is different.  It is a board game with some special benefits.  It was a lot of fun to play and really got the whole family talking about morals, right and wrong and what it means to be a kind, thoughtful person. Harvest® for Teens & Adults provides a relaxing opportunity to put away the electronics and have some time together reinforcing our beliefs and ideals as a family.  This is a great game for educators, families, Sunday School teachers or even teen camps.  The suggested age range is 13+which seems reasonable considering the nature of the game. Children much younger than that would probably have some challenges with it unless they are very precocious. You can buy the Abundant Harvest game for Teens and Adults here.

Whirl-a-Style Ponytail Volumizer + Extender Red Carpet Celebrity Look Review and Giveaway #celebrityponytails




We love to have Spa Beauty Style days here in our home. It could include facial masques to hair treatments or styles. My tween loves for me to help her with newly discovered and minted styles straight from the pages of Pinterest but sometimes it can be a real challenge. Even with our beauty salon worth drawers and cabinets full of supplies, sprays, pins, clips and bands.  I never realized that the right tools can make all the difference in the finished look of a hair style until I was contacted by Whirl-a-Style.  




Whirl-a-Style has a whole catalogue full of amazing products that make anyone look like celebrity style pro.  The ponytail has been a hot trend for the past few years. The popularity hasn't dimmed at all...in fact recently I saw it everywhere on the catwalks at the fashion shows.  Whirl-a-Style was determined to design a product that would make the ponytail beautiful, fun and exciting for anyone by giving it amazing height and volume. Just like the look that you see on the covers of all the magazines, you know what I mean. After extensive research on design and materials, they developed this patented and trademarked ponytail product that gives you exactly the look you want.  The design gives as much height and dimension as you want while holding and staying in the hair even if you are dancing all night long.  The best part is there are several options for the Whirl-a-Style Ponytail Volumizer and Extender.


The Whirl-a-Style Ponytail Volumizer and Extender comes in 3 sizes 1, 2 and 3-inch lengths and different fabrics too. The Fashion Obsessed line is made of polyethelene material and comes in several trendy colors including Hot Pink, Purple, Black, Cream and Copper .  The Haute Ponytail Extender and Volumizer is made from fabric and comes in 2 Leopard and Zebra patterns.

My thoughts:  The Whirl-a-Style products are easy to use and make styling a high ponytail a heck of a lot easier. I enjoyed the ability to get the volume I needed and still have a beautiful look without as much fuss as before.  I love to feel like my hair is longer with the ponytail extender. My tween has been having fun with them as well and thinks they are much easier to use than our traditional methods. You can find Whirl-a-Style ponytail volumizer on Amazon for the easier purchasing ever.
