What is pBuzz?

Designed by a team of British musicians the pBuzz is a completely new musical instrument. The brightly colored, light and smooth curved edged product has been designed specifically for mini musicians’ little hands. Simple and easy to play the mouthpiece makes it the perfect introduction to brass playing for early learners.

Research has shown that youngsters who have early exposure to musical instruments develop areas of the brain that relate to social, language and reasoning skills, as well as memory. The buzz can also help develop a child’s sensory and fine motor skills, encourage self-expression, stimulate imagination and creativity, build confidence and nurture their natural music talents.

Empyrean Bedding – Luxury Bedding You Can Afford

In the world of bedding there are so many options and so many brands that it can feel overwhelming. Who can you trust? What is going to last over time and feel the best? Of course, it all depends on your taste, whether you like cotton or silk bedding, it is completely based on what you find comfortable. For me, I want to be comfortable in bed and I try my best to find the type of bedding that helps me have a good night’s sleep. Thankfully, I recently discovered Empyrean and I am extremely happy to share this brand with you.

As a mothers, sleep is one of the most important things in my life. When I get the chance to lay down I want to be as comfortable as possible and enjoy that moment. Luxury sheets have always been a staple in my life. I splurge on sheets. It something that I know will be worth it in the long run. Comfortable sheets that will last are worth it…but, what if you could get the same luxury sheets but for a faction of the cost? That would be a no brainer, right? With Empyrean Bedding you can get the soft, amazing sheets you desire but on without diving into the luxury budget.

Empyrean features Microfiber bedding. It’s a double brushed Microfiber that needs be to be washed differently from cotton, because it’s a more delicate fabric. If you wash Microfiber that right way it will last much longer and give you the feeling of luxury you desire. These sheets are breathable, silky soft, wrinkle-resistant, and even hypo-allergenic. If not washed correctly they may shrink, so be sure to wash them with cold water and use a delicate cycle. Do not use bleach, the less chemicals you use the longer your sheets will last. When drying use a lower setting like an air-dry. If you do not have an air-dry setting on your machine, just use the lowest setting available.

These will be some of the softest sheets you have ever had the opportunity that you have ever slept on. Each night I think about how grateful I am to be laying on sheets so soft, and at a price so low, I can order more! I love being able to share my knowledge of Empyrean with my friends and family, because they will love them just as much as I do. It doesn’t end with my sheets though. A bed wouldn’t be complete without something like these Hungarian goose down pillows (which you can find at www.hamvay-lang.com) or whichever pillows you prefer. Comfort is key when it comes to a good night’s sleep, so make sure you get the right bedding.

Going back to Empyrean though… Empyrean boosts a special feature, their Smart Solution Corner Straps. These extra long and extra deep straps are perfect for those thick mattresses that you might have discovered through Mattress Battle reviews prior to your finding out you love Empyrean and pillow tops. Often sheet corners are not deep enough to securely wrap about the mattress, causing them to shift and not stay in place. With so many options in mattresses and all the bells and whistles they come with, it can be hard to find sheets that can stay on. Now you can worry no longer, as these sheets will for sure stay in place with the Smart Solution Corner Straps.

With over 40 years of experience in the bedding industry it’s no wonder Empyrean stands out.

Car Shopping 101

Sponsored Post

June 2013 my husband and I put what little belongings we had in storage, sold the car I drove throughout college and headed to China. Located in the city, we lived off of public transportation and our beloved bikes. Fast forward four years and our now family of four was planning on relocating back to the States. When relocating back to America, one thing we noticed was that we would have to apply for everything again. One of the biggest things we decided that we’d need upon arrival was a credit card. This form of payment is so essential to life in America. When finding the best credit card for us, we were able to learn more about it here. With a credit card, we were able to settle back down in America much easier. With that, we left our home in China with only the allotted airline baggage; seven 50lbs bags. Upon arrival, we went to pick up our belongings we stored what seemed to be eons ago. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it was pretty underwhelming returning to our college dorm room furnishings. A few scratched pots and pans, a sticky hand-me-down table, and one dented lamp was not going to cut it for our growing family. With two small children, we had our hands full with the task of outfitting our new home in the suburbs on a small budget.

One of our biggest, and most important tasks, was finding a car. Originally we looked at autonomous cars after reading some interesting data about the benefits of them. However, the price range was just way out of our budget, so back to square one we went. Due to our limited price range, one of our friends suggested looking at some of the second-hand cars that are available at earnhardt.com, for example. That was a good idea, especially given our small budget and the fact that we certainly were not going to be able to purchase a brand new, expensive car. When we moved overseas, we left the car my parents had bought me while in college. Both my husband and I had no experience in finding and purchasing cars. Not to mention, we weren’t just college kids willing to drive anything with four wheels. We had two children in car seats, massive amounts of groceries to transport, grandparents to visit, and a work commute. We needed a reliable, spacious car like Honda’s new SUV’s, with high safety ratings; and did I mention we were on a tight budget? My sister bought her car on https://vegasusedcars.com so I checked it out, it was a great company but they didn’t have the car I wanted at the time so I unfortunately had to keep looking.

Luckily, we found Cars.com and used it as our main resource for researching potential buys. Cars.com is one of the first online automotive classifieds that help consumers make smart stress-free buying decisions. They serve a national audience by providing detailed reports of listed cars all over the country. Their website is very user friendly and easy to navigate. Cars.com provides tools and search filters which assist in narrowing down your choices faster. An added bonus is Cars.com automatically fills out the contact the seller form with a generic message stating you are interested in the given car. So basically, they help you find and compare cars, while checking their safety ratings, and contacting the seller all from the comfort of your own home.

With our experience we used Cars.com to find listed cars that matched our desired make, model, price, and buying location. From our home we scanned through multiple options and made lists of potential buys. To be honest, as a first time car buyer we weren’t even sure what went into buying a car. It’s not even just the buying of cars that we were unsure of but also how to sort out the car insurance. A friend of ours recommended we use someone like Money Expert to help us out. But if I’m being honest I still found the whole ordeal very confusing, so I was very glad that my husband just sorted that part out. I felt like we didn’t know anything though. We didn’t know what was reasonable prices to pay or the questions we should be asking dealerships. I appreciated having all the car facts compiled neatly on one page with detailed pictures included. With Cars.com we dwindled down our list to three potential buys. Within the week we were able to visit two dealerships for test drives and eventually purchasing a car. With the comparing tool on Cars.com we felt confident we were paying a reasonable price and getting a quality car.

Once you’ve found the car, it’s imperative to take it to a local garage to check it over. In our case when we were in the UK, we got an mot Birmingham to put the vehicle through a fresh MOT and check it was all acceptable.

We were extremely thankful part of our transition to America was made easier using Cars.com. Researching and shopping for a car was an experience I thought would be daunting, in reality it ended up being stress-free and simple. Our standards were set high for our family of four looking for a safe automobile with an affordable price tag. As first time car buyers we needed a trusted resource that provided detailed reports on purchasing options.. Thanks to Cars.com technology, time shopping was short and sweet and we came out on top with an excellent family car.

LoveBug Probiotics – The Best Option for Your Family

LoveBug Probiotics – The Best Option in Probiotics For Your Family

You my have heard about probiotics by this point, but do you really know what they are? While sites like Pure Path provide a helpful guide on probiotics and their uses, many people are still unaware of what they offer and why you should be taking them? Here is a simple breakdown of probiotics.

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called “good” or “helpful” bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy. – WebMD

Why Do You Need A Probiotic?

Stress, changes in your diet, contaminated food, chlorinated water, and numerous other factors can also alter the bacterial flora in the intestinal tract. This can cause a bunch of problems with how you digest your food and water, and you may require some supplements in the forms of liquids to help you with them. When your colon (part of the digestive track) is not in prime working condition, it affects all of your digestion. Some people get belly aches, have inconstant bowel movements, gas, and many types of issues. When you take a probiotic, which is loaded with live cultures, it helps aid your gut in proper digestion. This is why taking probiotics are important for your overall health.

Why Should You Choose LoveBug Over Other Probiotics?

Probiotics in general cannot be fully absorbed and reach their full potential. This is because the gut has acids which break down everything which passes. Because of this you typically only get around 4% of the benefits from a standard probiotic. Now with LoveBug Probiotics, which developed their pills to carry past this strong acid barrier, you can get up to 60% of the probiotic into the gut! This is a HUGE break through and makes a substantial difference. You want the probiotics to get past to they can get into your digestive track; this is where they can really benefit you the most. If you are not absorbing them, what good are they doing for you?

Where Can You Buy LoveBug?

Here is a listing of retailers who can you purchase LoveBug though. But my favorite is always Amazon!

What LoveBug Has to Offer

LoveBug has so much to offer. With products ranging from babies into adulthood, they have the perfect option for you and everyone in your family. Whether you are male or female, you can get what you want from your probiotics with LoveBug.

Here’s The Skinny

Here’s the Skinny can streamline digestive function, quell sensitive stomachs, improve energy levels and elevate mood. The included strains were carefully selected by our scientists and combined with Bio-Tract®, our patented probiotic protection and time-release technology, our tablets are far more effective than other products on the market.

Colds Suck

The common cold is a monster torturing its victims with days or even weeks of coughing, wheezing, sore throat and completely sapped energy. The key to avoiding the pain and suffering with colds can lie within – our immune systems get wrecked by diet, stress, antibiotics, and other culprits, leaving us vulnerable. Colds Suck supplements are designed to strengthen your immune system by arming you with our proprietary blend of good bacteria and helpful vitamins and minerals. This probiotic punch helps repopulate your microbiome with an army of the good bugs.

Colds Suck supplements contain a deliberate combination of 4 probiotic strains and immune-boosting vitamins.

Yeast is a Beast

This proprietary blend of probiotics is designed to promote optimal urinary tract health. It contains Lactobacillus strains that work to produce lactic acid, lowering the pH of the vagina to make it acidic and therefore inhospitable to harmful pathogens. Additionally, the novel Cran-Gyn™ (Cranberry Extract) additive helps squelch growth of bad bacteria from taking hold; it contains cranberry extract and D-mannose. Products that include d-mannose, like HARMONY Urinary Tract & Bladder Cleanse, are ideal for those looking to maintain their urinary health and avoid infection.

Yeast is a Beast can also help streamline a woman’s digestive function, immune response and yeast levels. Like our other probiotics, this supplement incorporates BIO-tract® technology to ensure as many organisms survive digestion and reach the digestive tract to do their work.

Labor of Love

Labor of Love features a specialized blend of probiotics formulated for the specialized needs of expectant mothers and their growing infants. The billions of helpful bacteria in every capsule are designed to help nurture mom and baby before and after delivery, with 250 mcg of folate to help prevent a variety of birth defects.

Probiotics like those packed into Labor of Love can aid digestion, boost nutrition absorption and reduce constipation for happy moms and babies. Also, just like our other probiotics, this supplement uses BIO-tract® technology to help as many organisms survive digestion and reach the digestive tract to do their work.

Little Ones (Ages 4+)

Our Little Ones probiotic is geared toward helping your child build a strong, balanced microbiome-crucial for their development, as well as their lifelong physical and mental well-being. Each kid-size sphere is designed to populate their gut with beneficial bacteria, helping them build immunity so they can grow up strong and healthy.

Many probiotic supplements for kids miss the mark with chewable tablets, or formulations that contain sugar and other undesirables. Little Ones probiotics incorporates patented BIO-tract® technology, protecting the organisms and releasing them gradually for 15 times the effectiveness of other supplements. Also, by avoiding sugar, gluten, and other no-no ingredients, LoveBug probiotics avoid triggering sugar cravings and do not contain any of the 8 major allergens (fish, crustacean, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, milk, wheat, eggs and soy), so there’s nothing standing in the way of healthy, happy kids.

Tiny Tummies (0-6 months, 6-12 months and 12-4 years options)

Studies show a healthy, well-balanced digestive system can have a positive impact on a child’s entire life. What’s more, by the time that child reaches the age of three, the microbiome already closely resembles that of a totally grown person. Setting the foundation of a healthy, balanced gut can affect its health during childhood, and for years to come.

Tiny Tummies probiotics are designed to help parents promote the foundation of a healthy gut during this important stage of development. Like all of our probiotics, Tiny Tummies uses BIO-tract® technology to help as many bacteria as possible survive digestion to reach the digestive tract and do their work.
