Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Matcha
Organic Matcha is Green Tea Powder used for lattes, smothies and baking and first of all is great for health. There are some benefits of Organic Matcha, I think busy parents appreciate it for sure:
  •  Energy through the day with increased focus Matcha provides 4 to 6 hours of mild steady energy as it acts as both a stimulant and a relaxant. This is ideal for focusing on whatever the day throws your way.
  • Metabolism boost Consuming matcha green tea can increase thermogenesis (the body's own rate of burning calories) from a normal 8%-10% of daily energy expenditure, to between 35% and 43% of daily energy expediture.
  •  Improved skin health  ​Scientists have discovered that Matcha Green Tea helps protect the skin from harmful UVrays, while improving blood flow and oxygen levels lifting the overall quality of the skin. 137x
  • Rich in antioxidants of brewed  green tea Antioxidants are essential as you age to boost your body's natural defenses against oxidation. Researchers have found that a high level of dietary antioxidants can prevent many age-related diseases.

Sabi HOLSTER grande pill box

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. 
HOLSTER grande pill box is much more sophisticated version of  HOLSTER pill box I wrote about. It is not that bigger but has some fabulous features. First it has a compartment on top for extra use, second HOLSTER grande pill box has buttons at the bottom to make it easier open the carrier, though for me it is more like fancy but not much practical feature. The other tow compartments inside are quite big so you can place there your large-size and small-size pills. Mostly like it more than regular HOLSTER pill box.

SPORT All-Terrain Lightweight Sporty Cane

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.  
SPORT is our grandfather's favorite these days, features an ultra-comfortable handle, precision dipped in rubber coating for a smooth, secure grip that’s hygienic and easy to clean and care for.

Sport Cane

The SPORT cane has a single-piece, non-adjustable shaft made of high-strength aluminum; the same grade of aluminum used in bicycle frames. Super-durable and powder-painted, like a bike, it offers a much more stable alternative to the adjustable cane. The cane has an air-cushioned rubber-based TIP made from the same material used in hiking boot and running shoe soles for maximum stability, smooth walking at any speed, and superior grip on the most uneven surfaces.

The SPORT cane comes in eye-popping colors with a matte finish, making it a fab and fun walking companion for people on the move.

Sabi Cane
SPORT takes its inspiration from those differently-abled athletes out there who take adversity in stride. Designed an all-terrain, lightweight cane for those times when you need a little boost to hike that extra mile; climb that higher mountain; or camp that extra night.

When taking pills quite often, it is great idea to have a dispenser so that you can take one pill at a time without spreading germs. To help with this task Sabi SHAKE Flip-Top Pill Box can be one of the best solution. This perfectly designed dispenser is very light and easy to open. It also releases only one pill at a time (depends on a size), but for most of my pills it works great.  SHAKE Flip-Top Pill Box is very comfortable and convenient to use. It has one interesting feature - an inset with an expiry date dial, though I use it for another purpose I count days when travelling.

Sabi CRUSH Minimal effort pill crusher

Kids hate taking medications and sometimes we need to be creative to follow doctor's orders. One of the suggestion is to use pill crusher to transform your pills into powder.

Sabi Pill Crusher is very easy to use and do not need much muscle power to do it. All you need is to fill the box with pills and then twist all the way to crush. No mess, twisted hand and the medication is ready to use (in seconds) as required. And it is not only for kids, seniors and adults also need to crush the pills into fine powder if swallowing them is one of the problems.

Sabi DAYBOX Extra-Large Weekly Pill Box Everyday Use

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.  
Organizing has never been so easy with Sabi products, besides taking care of your pill schedule, their design intended to provide the best experience for everyone.

Sabi DAY BOX Extra large weekly pill box

For everyday use I could not find better solution for our supplements and vitamins than DAYBOX Extra-large weekly pill box. It has detachable day cases which can be easily taken with you when out and then added back to the whole set. Each case has three compartments to make sure that you can add different medications and they are spacious too, so large-sized pills can perfectly fit the box. It is also great that day of the week is printed on each case plus one extra case for special needs, so you never mix and forget to take your pills during that day. I found that the best use is to fill the whole box at the beginning of the week; that way you never skip your schedule or take extra pills, especially when there are different medications have to be taken. Each case is covered with a soft peel-back scatter-proof rubber lid blue color except the last extra one, Sabi case with orange lid.

DAY BOX Extra large weekly pill box

Overall, very convenient pill box for everyday use, we like the design and happy to see how our medications, vitamins and supplements are properly organized. Having worry-free days with DAYBOX organizer helps a lot even if it is only for a week.

Learning Success Program Helps Kids Find Confidence and Overcome Learning Difficulties

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.  
When it comes to learning every kid has unique abilities and talents. If a child had some difficulties like Dyslexia, Dyscalculia or Dysgraphia, the best way is to seek help from professionals who put all their efforts to find core problems and succeed in dealing with learning difficulties. We found that Learning Success Program is one of great programs to try out. I like that the lessons are delivered by e-mail almost every day, you need to print it and invite your child to do them. The exercises are not difficult but very interesting and creative. They take approximately 15-20 minutes every day to finish depends on kid’s abilities and speed. It is great that modern methods are used to solve problems in this program. I found that exercises are pretty simple at first, but now it seems like a key to success. When tasks are split in simple exercises and done regularly, it is easy to find out where the problem is hidden and in which area.

Learning Success Program

Have you read the amazing stories about children who achieved amazing results at school but having learning difficulties at the beginning? With regular exercises Learning Success Program not only brings fantastic results and helps to overcome learning difficulties, it is also gives so much confidence to a child in his abilities.

Sabi Clip-and-Go Convenient Little Pill Carrier for Everyday Use

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.  
With our big family we need to take medications including pills almost every day. During spring and summer our intake of vitamins and allergy medications increase, adding heart prescription drugs for our grandparents. You can easily find pill containers in any pharmacy but honestly speaking their design cannot compete with Sabi products. One of my favorite pill boxes for everyday use is HOLSTER clip-and-go pill carrier. I used to carry my pills in kinder eggs and candy containers trying to disguise somehow that I need to take medications. The one carrier I got at pharmacy was nice but had such a plain design and made me feel that I have serious medical problems, though I needed it just for taking vitamins.

Sabi Clip-and-Go Pill Container

Sabi daily pill clip container is another story. It is very well-designed and convenient in use.  Now I am not embarrassed to pull it out of my bag and sometimes thanks to the metal clip I even put it on my desk stand so I do not to forget to take it. Sabi Clip-and-go pill carrier consists of two parts, one is a tray with three compartments and second part is a cover. Three compartments make it easy to sort your pills. You just need to slide and take pill(s) you need. The colors of the box are blue and while, very nice and non- irritating. I also like that trays are not transparent.

Sabi Daily Pill Container

While I prefer not to clip Sabi Clip-and-go pill carrier onto bags or pockets because we have little kids but I find that it is a very useful feature. I put this pill container in my purse pocket because it is relatively small - 96mm x 26mm x 22mm. Overall, great product for everyday use, stylish, comfortable and convenient for everyone.

Be Ready for Summer with Green Coffee Bean Extract Gold

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Green Coffee Bean
Summer is fast approaching and we are looking forward to a new beach season if possible. With long winter we had it is natural to crave for sunny days and evening breeze. With our stormy weather we spend more time inside which resulted in gaining weight, mostly for me (as kids are active all the time).

When I was offered to review Green Coffee Bean Extract I was very eager to jump into this opportunity. Green Coffee Beans are just unroasted form of raw coffee beans. Their extract contains an active compound called chlorogenic acid, which reduces glucose absorption and prevents fat accumulation in the body. Life & Food uses for Green Coffee Bean Extract Gold  premium quality SVETOL® grade coffee bean extract from Coffea Robusta, this version provides a more optimized Chlorogenic Acid concentration of the green coffee bean extract supplement. While Green Coffee became extremely popular last few years for weight loss, it is also a powerful antioxidants, improves heart health and energy booster. It contains caffeine not much but still and I am happy with it.

I have been taking the supplement in less than a month and I really like it not only for weight loss capacity. While you cannot notice my significant weight loss (after only couple of weeks), I honestly started feeling that I am losing some weight in a few days. I stopped feeling full and bloated after eating, get more energy and overall, feel healthier and stronger. You can see my photo as a prove. Pills should be taken twice a day and 30 minutes before meals.

Grand Seduction
Scotiabank Theatre, Toronto

Now I am looking forward to summer time, I lost already 4 pounds and continue my progress. If you like to try this natural supplement, you can easily find it on Amazon.ca and Amazon.com, plus one lucky reader is going to win one Green Coffee Bean Extract Gold.

StartWrite 6.0 Handwriting Worksheet Software

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Teddy StartWrite
Last week we registered Teddy for Kindergarten and new adventures await him this September when he will join other pre-schoolers to learn writing, reading, math, science, technology and other essential subjects. While we definitely rely on our educational system which is, no doubt, teaching the best our kids, we are always looking for creative and interesting ways to explore this world for our boy, to make sure his learning process is not a boring routine but rather exciting adventure.

When I was introduced to Startwrite I did not expect what a powerful tool it turned out to be! Startwrite is a software program which allows creating customized handwriting practice sheets for everyone who starts learning writing, in my case it is an amazing application for my preschooler. I type letters, text, phrases and congratulatory messages, for example, for my little one to practice writing. Then I print it and give it to my boy to practice.

StartWrite

The selection of Startwrite features is really impressive, you can choose from letter outline to dotted shapes, arrowed text showing the direction of each line or curve and start dot (presented as red dot where to begin to write the letter). I like that you can choose from three types of lines: dotes, dashed or solid. Area highlight allows highlighting only one or all three writing areas – bottom, middle and top, which is great for our little one to have proper symmetric sense. There are also a good choice of border art to make a writing sheet pretty and fun, you can choose from little animals to jets, shapes, fruits and more, plus you can add any graphic files to the writing sheet. We are excited to customize and add graphics related to the text written on a handwriting sheet to involve our kid into the process.

Practice Sheet

We haven’t tried Dotted Shapes yet but looking forward to it. Nice to see that the software gives an option to learn writing in Spanish and we are looking forward to new languages to be added to Startwrite features especially French writing which my boy is going to learn.

You can find Startwrite visiting their web site plus the company generously offered one lucky Teddy Out Ready to win their own copy of handwriting software. Take your chance, fill the Rafflecopter form below and Good Luck! The giveaway is open Worldwide and ends May 22, 2014. One winner will receive a code to download Startwrite software.

Our Adventures in San Antonio Day 3: The Alamo, Missions, Market Square and River Walk

Alamo

We started our last day in San Antonio visiting 2 Spanish colonial missions —Concepción and San José. Mission Concepción was first dedicated in 1755 and has the beautiful church with original frescos. Mission San José, the “Queen of the Missions”, is the largest mission in San Antonio, established in 1720.

Mission Mission Mission Mission Mission Mission

We met Mission San Jose Park Ranger Daniel Cantu and he played on the flute he had made. Teddy likes flute music very much. It was so peaceful there and we enjoyed being in the beautiful church and listening nice music. It was very interesting to explore almost three centuries old missions and learn their history. They are must see attractions in San Antonio, even though they located far from the city core.

Mission Mission inside Mission Mission Mission Mission

After visiting Missions we headed to Market Square for shopping. Market Square is the largest Mexican market in the U.S. Everyone got something there for themselves. I bought a colourful Mexican summer dress. I can’t wait for warm days to try it on. Teddy got some clothes too, what he really liked at the market.

Mexican Market
It was a lunch time and we found a little bit of Old Mexico deep in the heart of Texas. That was Rio Rio Cantina restaurant that located at The San Antonio River Walk.

Riverwalk Teddy River walk waterfall

When we reached River Walk we found the answer on our question: Where are the tourists of San Antonio? They all were there in San Antonio River Walk – thousands of them, like in downtown Toronto during lunch time. We got a table close to the river and enjoyed. Weather, view and food were perfect.

Food San Antonio Food
After lunch we took Rio San Antonio Cruises River Tour. The tour lasts about 45 minutes and we saw a lot of the River Walk. While floating on the water our guide pointed out interesting places and explained historical facts. It was fun and informative. We were surprised to see lemon and orange trees with fruits, ready to eat oranges and lemons.

We ended our day visiting the Alamo Mission that located in the center of the city and was founded in 1718 as the first mission in San Antonio, serving as a way station between east Texas and Mexico. It is a former Roman Catholic mission and fortress compound and the site of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. During our 6 days vacation in San Antonio we fell in love with this city. We weren’t able to see a 30% what this city offers to curious travelers like we are. And from what we had explored in San Antonio, our absolute favourites became River Walk and Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa. We would like to visit San Antonio again one day and have another chance to see San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.
