My Experience
I lead a very busy life (who doesn't these days?!?), and the hardest part of my day is finding time to take care of myself. Whether that be taking time to meditate for my mental health, quiet time for spiritual health, or fitness for my personal health. The hardest one of these (for me) has always been dedicating time to my personal health, because honestly, it takes the most effort & energy. However, I recently was introduced to a series of 15-minute workouts called MASHUP, which are fun, offer a great variety of options and are quick--leaving me little to no excuse to not take 15 minutes of my day to workout. There are (currently) seven videos to chose from. Of these, my favorite workouts are: • Kickstarter • Muscle Mania • Mind/Body Meltdown. The best part for me, is the convenience of streaming options. During the period of time I had to try out and review MASHUP, my mother-in-law suddenly passed away and we took a last-minute trip out of town. During this time there was a lot of downtime with me my kids at a hotel, during which I needed to expel some tension. That's when the videos, especially Mind/Body Meltdown, came in very hand on my iPad.
What exactly is MASHUP?
MASHUP™, “The Evolution of HIIT “, is a Variable-intensity interval training (VIIT) program that allows participants to attain true HIIT intervals combined with Mind/Body and Agility & Strength at 3 different fitness levels. Every workout challenges the entire body in numerous ways whether you are performing Mind/Body (yoga/pilates), Agility & Strength, or High-intensity interval movements. Who Created MASHUP? MASHUP™Co-founders, Jamie Zacharias, RN, MSN-Nurse Practitioner, Cooper CPT, and Stacey Redwine, BS Exercise Phys/Pre-Physical Therapy, ACE CPT, have been in the health and fitness industry for 15 + years. Being busy moms, wives, and health/fitness professionals, they themselves don’t have much time to stay healthy. With that said, they developed unique science-generated formats that deliver one of the safest and most effective ways to workout and achieve desired results in less time. What Type of Workouts Are There? Seven of the workouts combine Mind/Body, Agility & Strength, and High-intensity intervals while three of them take you through just one of those three modalities during the 15 minutes. How Can I Watch The Videos? MASHUP™ is considered one of the most effective and safest ways to achieve desired results in less time whether you are using the digital workouts or taking a live class!

My children are not babies anymore, but they do have sensitive skin so I was intrigued to see how this #BareBabyOrganics lotion would work for them. We use it after bath time and they love the subtle floral fragrance. It's not greasy and easily covers their skin with a minimal amount. Their skin hasn't been dry it itchy since we began in sing this lotion, definitely a winner in our books!
The pump is convenient and works great (we've had lots of clogged lotion pumps in the past). I highly recommend this if your baby (or you!) have sensitive skin and are looking for an all-natural moisturizer.

I love shopping with #ecofriendly reusable grocery totes and am even more excited to now have reusable bags for our produce. We buy a lot of fresh fruits and veggies and these high quality, breathable bags from #purifyou have been great at keeping our produce fresher longer. You receive two bags that are 12" x 17", two bags that are 12" x 8", and five bags that are 12" x 14". The bags are machine washable, each size has a color coded tag, plus a drawstring closure.

For an at-home facial experience, check out the Spa Home Facial Steamer by #LiftCare. It is simple to set up, the top section sets on top of the steamer and you slightly turn it to lock into position. There an optional funnel for directed steam as well.
To begin I placed 50ml of water in the unit. I started on the lowest setting and it took the unit about two minutes to start bubbling and produce heat. I then placed three drops of the provided eucalyptus oil in the water. Within another minute steam was rising and the room was filled with the invigorating aroma. Once turned up to high heat, the water really bubbled and more steam rose. I have sensitive skin so the heat & steam generated on the high setting was too much for me to handle. What has worked best for me is to get the unit going by starting it in high. Once the steam is flowing I turn it to low and begin my steam facial. I like to use this along with my Clarisonic exfoliating brush for a true facial experience a few times a week. Along with anti-aging serums, I have seen a noticeable difference. If you have sensitivities to essential oils you can use the steamer without them. It also works great for colds and illnesses. One of my children got a croupy cough and couldn't sleep. I hooked the unit up in our bathroom and used the funnel accessory to direct the steam towards him. I used the low setting under strict supervision and it immediately helped his breathing.

Review: #MaanTech Adjustable Tablet Stand
|
I am the queen of losing day-day essentials, like hair ties, pens, keys, and especially my phone charger. So I've been on a mission to get one for every room of my house. This three-port charger is great for my nightstand so I can charge all my devices in one spot at night.
Some reviews have listed Apple compatibility issues, but so far I have had a good experience with this three port usb wall charger from Smartgik. I typically use two ports to charge my iPad with the included cord and my iPhone with my Apple certified lightning cord. They both charge at a reasonable rate; I've never times them for comparison but both devices charge easily. I've never received any notification that it's not a Apple compatible or certified cord or charger, and I own an iPad Air and iPhone 6s. The cable is thick and durable. It charges at a good rate of speed. I've had a lot of junk cables in the past and this seems to be made really well. Overall, this is great to charger for multiple devices.

Do you have a child that loves to point out everything they see when you're out for a walk or on a drive? If so, then they are sure to love this new ABC book filled with photographs of of letters found in our everyday world. And the best part is that the photographs were all taken by a 5th grade boy named Adam Solomon!
The letters he found to photograph are so creative. My favorites are 'G' & 'I'. The book is high quality and the pictures vibrantly printed.
Here is a preview of some pages. Please consider supporting this 10-year-old's awesome book by purchasing it here: http://www.amazon.com/The-Alphabet-Book-Adam-Solomon/dp/0578115735
