Vive Health

orthoticsNo matter your age or situation in life, most people value good health. Being able to live comfortably is a luxury to some who have medical issues that inflict body discomfort. If there are products that can help increase your comfort why would you not want to use them? Whether you are a runner who has shin splints or sore knees, tried feet from being on them all day long or require specialty items for those who have a hard time getting around their house or bathroom, Vive Health is the perfect online store for you.

My husband is on his feet constantly as a salesman. Going to appointments, follow up’s and just living life, he is always on the go. According to Footwear 4 Workers, there are lots of risks associated with being on your feet all day. On top of that, he has been in a few bad car accidents (not his fault of course LOL), which has caused him to have some back issues. After speaking to his chiropractic doctor he found out that insoles in his shoes would help his back! Being that all bone connect and work together, we found out that if he used good, supportive insoles it could help his back pain. Even better yet due to my husband’s occupation he’s able to get these insoles as part of his employee benefits program that his company enrolls all employee’s in!

20-off

After finding out about Vive Health and knowing that my husband should try insoles, we figured why not?! His shoes size was right in between two sizes, the large and extra large. After speaking to a very helpful employee we decided on the XL size because we were told we can cut it down to fit the shoe. The insoles work perfectly in his business shoes and in his weekend gym shoes. The insoles can easily be moved from shoe to shoe. The insole helps support his natural arch, which in effect really alleviated back pain and can help people with other pains possibly too. Click here to read more about the insoles.

The Envelop Full Length Orthotics have been manufactured specifically to combat a variety of foot related issues including but not limited to plantar fasciitis, flat feet, heel spurs, Morton’s Neuroma, bunions, metatarsalgia, and even leg and back pain. – Vive Health

Capresso SG220 12-Cup Coffee Maker

logo

Capresso has never let me down. I have been using their products for years now and each and every item I have tried has been above the bar. They know their audience so well and only make products that are easy to use, easy to clean and gorgeous in any kitchen. They’re an example of a great brand, one that would be welcome on sites like Greatcoffeebrewers.com that show some of the best options on the market for coffee lovers!

One of Capresso’s newest models is the SG220 – a 12-cup coffee maker that is perfect for any user. This coffee maker not only doesn’t require a coffee filter (has a reusable one that comes with the machine) but also has a super easy-to-set timer that even the non-technical grandma would be able to figure out. With a few easy to push buttons your automatic coffee timer will be set and ready to brew when you want it to. I love that the buttons are large enough so that you are not accidentally hitting 2 at the same time. This is often a problem with other machine. They make the buttons so small that you cannot read them clearly or you hit multiple buttons due to them being so close together. I am very happy with Capresso’s newest button set up.

sg220-buttonsIt also features an automatic 2-hour shut off timer! You never have to worry when you leave your house “did I leave the coffee pot on?” Even when I am at home with my kids, I often have forgotten about my coffee maker as the daily grind sets in. I start running around cleaning up breakfast, helping my kids with projects and doing laundry. Next thing I know its 11 am and I need to get lunch ready. I glance over at my coffee pot, which now has automatically turned off hours ago. I never have to worry about scorching my pot with old coffee that was left in there heated for hours, just as I don’t have to wonder how long does coffee last as I get through it so fast! This feature really helps save your glass brewing pot and lengthens its lifespan (and my elbow grease for washes). I’m super glad that I have it. I do have some friends who have the ninja coffee bar, and they love that option, but for me this is perfect.

This sleek machine is stainless steel with black accents, allowing it to match any kitchen setting. Besides being beautiful its so easy to clean. No messy disposable coffee filters needed! If you’re still not sold on this stainless steel number, you could check out this post on why stainless steel is the best option – Easylivingmom: Why you should buy Stainless Steel Coffee Makers. The Capresso SG220 has a reusable Goldtone filter that washes easily and helps eliminate waste and saves you money! With 2 internal baskets (one that holds the Goldtone filter and one that sets into the upper part of the machine) it keeps grinds out of your coffee. I tried brewing a finer grinned bean in this machine, seeing if it will get through into my pot but much to my surprise it stayed put int he filter and not a ground made it into my cup! This is such a wonderful feature.

Lego KidsFest Coming to Cleveland!

Award-winning LEGO KidsFest returns to Cleveland

legokidsfestlogo
New activities, popular favorites featured in interactive event running Nov. 4 – 6, 2016

The award-winning LEGO KidsFest Ohio returns to Cleveland’s I-X Center from Nov. 4 – 6, 2016.
Those who attended the previous show can once again expect hands-on building, creative experiences and one-of-a-kind activities. Children of all ages and builders of all skills and levels are welcome.
LEGO KidsFest features dozens of new activities and popular favorites on the three-acre show floor.
New activities for this year’s visit include LEGO Mindstorms, LEGO Movie, LEGO Disney Princess, the Mixels, a LEGO Superheroes area and more.
Once again, show-goers can enjoy the LEGO Model Museum, Race Ramps, Creation Nation, Construction Zone, LEGO DUPLO, LEGO Retail store and LEGO KidsFest Marketplace, the Big Brick Pile, LEGO Ninjago and more.
“We’re thrilled to be returning to the Cleveland area,” said Vince Rubino, Events Manager for LEGO Systems, Inc. “We’ve got a host of new activities as well as some areas we know are very popular with our fans. Not only will families create some new memories at the show, they’ll get another chance to flex and showcase their building skills. This event is a must for the true LEGO fan.”
Five sessions – all identical and 4 1/2 half hours in length – are held at each tour stop. LEGO KidsFest tickets can be purchased at www.LEGOkidsfest.com. Tickets are $19 for the Friday and Sunday afternoon sessions, and $22 for both sessions on Saturday and the Sunday morning session.
On tour since 2009, previous LEGO KidsFest tour stops have included major cities such as Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Atlanta, San Jose, Cleveland, Richmond, Phoenix, Portland and more.

My kids are LEGO kids! We literally play with these little exciting blocks every single day, so it would be great to see one of my favorite LEGO minifigure sets at this event. I am sure we will try to get to LEGOland in Florida one day, but until then, we need to rely on this amazing traveling show to dive into the LEGO excitement. This will be our first year attending this show, and I am sure it will not be our last.

Rosegal Clothing

Rosegal.com is a hidden nugget that I recently discovered. This website has a HUGE selection of modern and trendy clothing along with accessories and more for crazy low prices. So low I thought it was a mistake at first. There are many clothing retailers online, and you never know what you are really going to get in the mail. I know that I have seen my fair share of horrible photos of misleading clothing companies. When you order your item but something very cheaply made arrives and not even in the right color or fabric. I was honestly super curious to see what the clothing from Rosegal would be like when I got my order. I am honestly tell you I was VERY happy with each article they sent me.

rosegal-front-page

The clothing from Rosegal is not only fashion forward, but in the cuts and colors you want. From daily work clothing, to stay at home mom tee’s to formal ware, they have a huge selection to browse through. They have women’s, men’s, boutique, accessories, shoes, purses, bags, beauty, hair, home and more! Seriously another you would shop for. This site is definitely one you want to bookmark for your new fall pieces and for upcoming holiday shopping.

This Mama’s Experience

I tried several tops from Rosegal and here are my main thoughts. 1 – great value 2 – very modern and hip 3 – okay materiel used. Like I mentioned above there is always the chance that you may get very low quality pieces of clothing from an online retailer. Its the risk you run shopping online. With Rosegal each of my pieces of clothing looks just like I thought they would based on the internet photos.

While they are not made from the fanciest materials (I didn’t expect they would be at such low prices) they were cut and fit perfectly. I am very happy with how each feels too. None of them were uncomfortable or itchy. They are light and I love how they each feel against my skin. I do think they run slightly small, so order a size up. I typically wear a medium but all these tops shown below are a large. Based on the pieces I received I would recommend Rosegal to my friends and family, and of course my readers too.
