In all honesty, I am not a huge fan of giving gift certificates because I find them to be impersonal. But I love getting them! It’s hard to be creative when giving gift cards because one can only disguise the card by wrapping it in endless amounts of wrapping paper or boxes within boxes. When you want to give a gift certificate quickly, though, say for a friend across the country or if you just want to give someone a little something to make them smile, I think that using eGift Social makes it simple.

I laughed out loud when I got my sample of Cottonelle Fresh Wipes in the mail on Monday. Seriously. It just so happened they arrived on the very day members of my family came down with a horrible, horrible stomach virus. Talk about needing to be fresh! Read more…
I have ignored every facebook cause request asking me to support turning facebook pink for breast cancer awareness. It isn’t because I don’t care, it’s just that I don’t really know what good it will actually do.
I never thought I would be here, writing about losing weight and all that jazz. Isn’t that what people in their 30′s and 40′s do? Oh….I’m almost 30. Crap.
All joking aside, I have had a hard time treating my body well since Timothy was born almost fifteen months ago. I was doing great, but life happens, right? I had just started going back to yoga and pilates and trying to heal my split abs when I had that pesky appendix removed. Recovering from that wasn’t all that bad, but winter came along, complete with everyone and their grandma getting stomach flu, colds, etc., etc. Jamie was in classes in the evenings, I had rehearsals, and we found ourselves eating out A LOT, and I’m not even going to get into the horrible, horrible foods we were eating and eating to excess. Oh, and going to the gym? Forget it. I tried taking Timothy and Simon by myself once, but it was a nightmare.
A couple months ago, I found out that I have high cholesterol. I knew I was overweight. Not obese by any means, but I weighed just a couple pounds more than I weighed when I was pregnant with my firstborn. Yeah. I have been embarrassed to go out in public because nothing fit but some drawstring pants and some t-shirts. It was getting ridiculously depressing.
When Mom Central offered me the opportunity to try a new line of nutritional drinks and foods from Smart for Life that are (mostly) organic and contain good stuff like fiber & vitamins, I honestly couldn’t resist.
The underWAY supplement drink, infused with a special HeroFiber and heart-healthy vitamins, works naturally to suppress your appetite and quench your thirst. underWAY curbs your hunger two ways. Its special formulation not only takes longer for the stomach to absorb, it also slows the absorption of what’s already there, making you feel fuller, longer. What’s more, its unique ingredients stimulate your stomach, telling your brain you’ve consumed more calories that you really have which, with underWAY, is almost zero! It contains no preservatives, sodium or caffeine, with only 10 calories and 2 grams of carbs per 8 oz. serving. HeroFiber, a soluble dietary fiber, helps maintain normal levels of cholesterol, glucose and insulin that are already in the normal range.
The Açai-Pomegranate drink? SO GOOD. I was also sent the Grape flavor, but I’m not a fan of any grape flavoring. Jamie liked them, though! I also loved all the different snacks they sent: cookies, cupcakes, etc. It was all delicious and although I don’t believe I could follow a diet plan as outlined by the Smart for Life website, I already bought a package of the drinks when I ran out of the samples they sent. I can see myself eating the cookies for breakfast, too. They’re so yummy!!
Adding underWAY and Smart for Life cookies to my now very active lifestyle seems to be very promising for me.
