Herbalogic (Review)
"Herbalogic produces easy-to-take, concentrated liquid herb formulas based on centuries of Chinese herbal medicine. Each functional herb formula addresses common health concerns with a powerful combination of medicinal herbs long used to support the body's natural return to a healthy, balanced state. Our formulas address back and muscle pain, stress and tension, menopausal hot flashes, nervous worry and agitation, nose and sinus issues, mental focus and concentration, energy and performance, trouble sleeping, and periodic mood swings related to PMS. All Herbalogic formulas are made in the U.S.A. to exacting standards of quality."
I had the pleasure of sampling Herbalogic's Decompress and was simply amazed by the results. I have to admit, I was a little doubtful at first, but I was open to try anything to calm the stress and tension in my life. Decompress was exactly what I needed and it really works. I don't handle crying, fighting or yelling very well and it seems like that is the only thing my kids like to do these days, so having this was a life savor! I took Decompress twice a day for four days and I felt great! I was able to find the balance I needed to handle my kids craziness and it made me a better mom. I love having it in my cupboard and knowing that I can take it whenever I need it.
WHEN YOU SHOULD TAKE DECOMPRESS
Use fast-acting Decompress concentrated herb drops:
» to reduce irritability & short-temperedness
» when feeling irritated, aggravated, or overwhelmed
» to promote a healthy & stable emotional response to stressful situations
» to reduce stress-induced shoulder & neck tightness
» to moderate muscle stiffness and occasional pain
» to support healthy digestion in stressful times
» to assist in seasonal mood support
Other products I would love to try would be Herbalogics' Solid Eight. After my second child was born, I have a hard time getting a full night sleep and would love to try Solid Eight, especially after trying Decompress and seeing the positive effects it had on me!
I would also love to try their Fixed Focus. There are days that go by where I need to get a lot done and I need to be focused or it's a disaster!
Buy It!
Herbalogic products are available online and are definitely worth purchasing!

PouchPop Review & GIVEAWAY
Baby food pouches are all the rage! They are convenient, easy, and a great way for babies to feed themselves. The first time my daughter tried a food pouch, she was hooked. In fact, I could barely get her to eat any other way! Now that she's a little older she eats a variety of foods, but still loves her food pouches. Heck, all of my kids love those applesauce and fruit pouches! The only draw back to those awesome pouches is that their uncomfortable hard plastic straw tops can be quite troublesome at times. Some babies can have trouble feeding directly from the pouches and even worse, their hard, sharp edges can cause gum irritation and even bleeding.
While convenient, the pouch is not optimal on its own as a safe and soothing way for a baby to self-feed. That is why father of three, Brad came up with the PouchPop!
PouchPop is a baby food pouch topper made of soft, flexible hospital grade silicone which eliminates the “ouch points”, promotes self-feeding, and is pediatrician recommended!! The special topper tailors pouch feeding to infants (especially for those without teeth) and toddlers. “The PouchPop design is an excellent and safe solution to provide soft pureed foods to infants and toddlers in a much more intuitive and interactive way than the current pouch product design.”
- Dr. Jae Kim, M.D., Ph.D., UCSD Medical Center
I had the opportunity to try out the PouchPop with my daughter on all of the pouch food products she loves. She instantly took to the PouchPop toppers and really enjoyed using them...so much so that she insisted on using them with every food pouch product we had. I like that they are super easy to clean--I just place them in the little covered basket compartment in our dishwasher for a wash, and they come out perfectly clean!

The Fast Metabolism Diet (Book Review)
About The Fast Metabolism Diet
Haylie Pomroy has helped thousands of clients lose up to 20 pounds in just four weeks -all through the fat-burning power of food. Haylie says "This is not a book for first-time dieters. This is a book for last-time dieters." Hailed as "the metabolism whisperer," Haylie reminds us that food is not the enemy, it's the rehab needed to rev-up your sluggish, broken-down metabolism and turn your body into a fat-burning furnace.
Haylie Pomroy was recently featured on the Dr. Oz show, and has helped thousands of clients lose up to 20 pounds in just four weeks -all through the fat-burning power of food.
My Thoughts:
I received a copy of The Fast Metabolism Diet and have really enjoyed reading it. Although I am not struggling with weight, I am always looking for ways to better my health and was intrigued by this book. Food is something that everyone has in common whether they like it or not. We all need to eat to survive, but are we eating the right foods to keep us away from obesity, chronic illnesses etc.? Some things that stood out to me after reading this book, was the fact that Haylie emphasizes the importance of eating organic, drinking lots of water, exercising, and gives great tips on freezing food, maintaining a "crash"stash and lots more! Her weekly meal maps are easy to follow and give you lots of guidance throughout the entire process. I really enjoyed reading this book and use it a lot as a reference.

All About You, All About Me Fun Deck (Review)
I am a stay-at-home mom and am always looking for new, fun engaging products for my kids! I am always absolutely delighted to review products from Super Duper Publications' and can do nothing but boast about this company, you can read my other reviews here!
We were given the opportunity to review Super Duper Publications All About You, All About Me Card Deck and had a blast bringing this pack of 56 questions cards with us where ever we went!
About All About You, All About Me Fun Deck:
These questions and more will help your students sharpen their ability to ask and answer basic questions. Students can use the 56 question cards to talk about themselves and learn about others. The deck includes basic questions, open-ended questions, content cards, and game ideas. Use the cards one-on-one or share them as a group. Cards measure 2 ½" x
3 ½" and are stored in a sturdy storage tin.
Our Thoughts:
We really enjoyed this deck of cards. My kids love to talk, especially my oldest, so they think this is just the best game! What I enjoy about this deck of cards is, it not only gets my girls opening up more and answering questions that they may not have heard before, but it's making them think in a fun way! The other day I heard my girls talking to each other and they kept asking one another questions. I was listening in on their conversation (I do this way too often, but I simply can't help it!) and was very impressed at how well they were able to ask and answer each other's questions. The deck of cards is quite compact, so it has been fun bringing it with us where ever we do. There really is never a dull moment in our home!
A big THANK YOU to Super Duper Education and Kid Stuff PR for providing me with this game to review. I was not compensated for this review. I receive product(s) for free so that I can provide my insight and experience. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may vary.
TopicTalk(tm) Conversation Card Game (Review)
I am a stay-at-home mom and am always looking for new, fun engaging products for my kids! I am always absolutely delighted to review products from Super Duper Publications' and can do nothing but boast about this company, you can read my other reviews here!
We were given the opportunity to review Super Duper Publications TopicTalk™ Conversation Card Game.
About TopicTalk™ Conversation Card Game:
Topic Talk:
Total of 205 cards (2 ½" x 3 ½")
75 topic cards
70 talk cards
30 question cards
20 doubletalk cards
10 wild cards
5 minute timer
Our Thoughts:
TopicTalk has been a fantastic way to get my kids asking more questions and getting them to comment about specific topics. The topic cards are fun, but wish they would have expanded a little more on the conversation cards. This game is a little too difficult to play with my kids exactly how you're supposed to, but we've changed the rules around a bit to fit their ages! My girls love the timer and are understanding how to manage their time better when answering questions.
