Ozeri WeightMaster II 440 lbs Digital Bath Scale
with BMI and Weight Differential Detection
You can click the picture to be taken to Amazon.com to find this or you can click HERE
- Made in USA or Imported
- BMI with Weight Differential Detection -- Instantly displays your BMI (Body Mass Index), current weight, and your net weight change since your last weigh-in. It also calculates your net weight change from the average of your last 3, 7 and 30 weigh-ins to help provide a comprehensive understanding of your weight.
- Accurate Weight Tracking with 30 Day Memory -- By measuring your weight once a day, the Ozeri WeightMaster II empowers you to instantly see how your current weight changes from the previous day (e.g. -0.8 lbs), the average of the last 3 days (e.g. -1.1 lbs), the previous week (e.g. -1.8 lbs), and the previous 30 days (e.g. -5.8 lbs), all displayed on an intelligent LCD with color alert technology.
- Smart LCD with Color Alert Technology -- For users who want to focus on their weight trend instead of the actual numbers, this scale displays your weight change in color, with a GREEN illumination for weight loss and RED for weight gain, providing a visual form of intuitive feedback so you can see if your weight is trending up or down day to day, over the last 3, 7, and 30 days.
- Immediate and Flawless Results -- Performs and displays all calculations on the scale's LCD without complicated synching or data connection failures common to more expensive wireless and Bluetooth alternatives.
- Robust Construction, Industry-leading Capacity and Built-in Intelligence -- Weighs up to 440 lbs with auto-recognition technology for 8 unique users at home, at the office, or at the gym. Automatically calibrates with StepOn technology and auto-powers off. Features a slip-resistant grooved ABS exterior reinforced with a tempered glass interior, and non-slip scratch-resistant feet that won't damage flooring. Treated with Microban® antimicrobial product protection that disrupts the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria and helps maintain surface cleanliness.
Ships with batteries included, and backed by Ozeri's 100% Hassle-Free Satisfaction Guarantee.
I really like this scale! Im not really one for looking at them since Im trying to loose weight and not really getting very far very fast. I love the bright digital number and how accurate it is tho. Its a definate keeper! I love the guarantee since I have kiddo's who like to weigh themselves! They are scale breakers! Even my fat cat seems to like it! He and his chubby self can actually turn it on! None of the other cats can tho!
Ozeri sent me one scale for my review.
My opinion is my own and I was not compensated in any other way.

Todds Original Homemade Salsa
"TODD'S ORIGINAL SALSA started as a hobby in Todd Simcox's home kitchen. He was growing tired of the typical store brand salsa, and wanting to make a fresher, more flavorful salsa than anything anyone has ever tasted. After numerous taste tests and the urging of family and friends, that "hobby" quickly turned into the young upstart business that they are today. The salsa is created using fresh ingredients, chopped by hand, cooked with care and ladled into jars. Tinkering with the recipe to get the flavors just right was important from the start. Their salsa is made with "just the right" consistency for a smooth texture with every bite. They feel their salsa will satisfy everyone's taste buds from those that like very mild foods to those that really like the heat. From TODD'S ORIGINAL SALSA to your table, they hope you enjoy our product as much as they do."
*Taken from their website and edited for blog purposes.*
I have reviewed salsa before but when my local weatherman, Todd Simcox, made mention he was making salsa, I had to try it!
I like my salsa mild so I started with that one.
As you can see the chunks are not too big or small. They are perfect and it stood up to my chip test! And the best part is I can understand the ingredient label! There is nothing "FAKE" in it! I can pronounce everything! AND ITS GLUTEN FREE!
As you can see by the gauge on the back of the label, its almost time for me to go get more!
In my opinion, this is the best salsa I have reviewed. My kids and my husband liked it as well. Hubby likes his on the hotter side so he approves of the medium and hot.
We have added salsa to tacos, macaroni dishes, mac and cheese and sandwiches. I definitely love this salsa!
Right now its sold only in select Maine stores and online.
Click HERE to see their website.
This review is my opinion. I was not reimbursed with product or any compensation I purchased the salsa with my own money.
In a few days look for the Celebrate Your State Giveaway. My portion of the giveaway will include several jars of TODD's Original Homemade Salsa.

Every 28....Men take notice! (6-19-14 SHUT DOWN DATE)
*********************************************
EFFECTIVE 6-19-14
EVERY28.COM WILL BE
SHUTTING DOWN!
******************************
Ok ladies and gents, prepare yourselves!
Men, if womens products makes you squimy, then look away from the next pic!
I warned you!
What is every28.com you ask?
- Every28 is a service that delivers tampons, pads, pantiliners, and other feminine products to women every month. With Every28, you can choose whatever brands you want, the quantities you need, and your delivery date. Customize your period to your needs!
- Finally, you will never run out of tampons again, no more late night trips to the store, no more awkward or embarrassing checkout lines, and no more sending the hubby or boyfriend to do it for you (as if they enjoy that). And, the best part, chocolates are included each month in your package! During the summer tho, they send something other than chocolate in case it gets too hot and it melts! If you have suffered PMS you know, and your significant other knows, melting chocolate is not good at that time, or any time!
ATTN: MEN
- How many guys do you know that actually enjoy buying tampons for their wife or girlfriend? Not too many, right? So, Every28 makes it possible for men to actually give Every28 as a gift to their special lady! Men pay $20 per month and then Every28 delivers “the goods” to her every month. What woman is going to be opposed to her man being sensitive and caring and giving her a gift (in fact, paying for it every month) that includes chocolates? And what man is going to be opposed to never having to go to the store again to buy tampons? See, it’s a win-win all around for everyone!
This is one of the best ideas ever! I showed my husband the site and even he was a little impressed! It takes alot to impress him! The brands I was sent are the brands we Daigle women usually use any way. That was sweet! The chocolate, well chocolate is good no matter when you have it! This is definitely a service men, and women should take advantage of!

Grandstand Ink Review
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
I have been looking for a Press Badge since my blog turned 1. I was happy to be able to do a review of Grandstand Ink in exchange for a product, a Blogger Press Pass. I have used it already several times and I have even gotten a compliment on it from a door guard at a local event who told me most bloggers he has come across dont have one. HAHA! Im ahead of the curve, for now!!
Ordering was super easy and they were friendly. Every step of the way I got emails and I was contacted when there was a question about my order. I even got to proof my badge before they finished it. When it arrived, it was so much better than I expected! I am so happy with my order! If I ever hear someone needing to order specialized tickets or something, I will send them to Grandstand Ink.

Flip Flop Makeover! With a loop not a knot!
I love flip flops! Yes I know they are not best for your feet. Yes I know they can cause danger issues. But I love them! I tend to wear mine until they are too ripped to wear or my toes begin to freeze when I go outside. I wear them everywhere! Shopping, the park, baseball games, soccer and I even wore them Trick or Treating one year!
The thing I dont like is the plastic toe thing and Im too stingy to pay more than $3 for flip flops! So I "upcycle" the pairs I buy at the Dollar Store. This year I chose to do denim since Im more a Plain Jane type and denim is so comfy!
The thing I dont like is the plastic toe thing and Im too stingy to pay more than $3 for flip flops! So I "upcycle" the pairs I buy at the Dollar Store. This year I chose to do denim since Im more a Plain Jane type and denim is so comfy!
I also prefer the loop to the knotted toe type of flop. The knots tend to hurt the top of my feet.
The next step is to cut the fabric so that it fits through the holes of the base of the flip flop.
I tried a few ways but the easiest was to do this to the ends:
Take 1 of the shorter strips, fold it in half and thread it through the top hole of the flip flop. When the loop is as big as you want it tie the ends into a knot. I prefer to use a drop of hot glue on the knot to keep it in place. The knot has to be bigger than the hole! Trim off the excess cloth. Turn the flop over and voila!
You have the loop!
Then take one of the longer pieces and thread it through the loop so its about 1/2 and 1/2. Thread those 2 ends through the hols on the same side of the flop. Then put the flop on your foot and tighten the cloth to your preferred fit. Flip it over and tie the ends off. Trim the excess and dab a bit of hot glue.
So simple! You can get any cloth to use.
I like the rough edges so I didnt trim extra or iron into a fold. Here are mine:
I wear them everywhere and they are comfy!

Cocoa the Dog Humidifier Giveaway
Cocoa The Dog Cool Mist Humidifier
Operation is simple - keep it off the floor about three feet and away from walls and corners. Definitely don't want to breed mold. We just have one of those multiple step stools and place it on that. We could easily also place it on one of the little side tables in her room - just move it away from the wall. We don't add anything to the water - no oils, medications or salt. We also make sure the mist is not headed towards the ground or any other surfaces - the mist just flows into the air.
Please see my full review - here
If you have young children you probably already know that the FDA is not recommending over the counter cough and cold medicine to young children anymore. Instead they are recommending cool mist humidifiers, saline nasal solution and a nasal aspirator.

This humidifier has ultrasonic cool mist operation and it increase air moisture for easier breathing and a good night's sleep. She is really at the point where she feels she always needs her buddy beside her bed and running. Cocoa relieves cough, cold and flu symptoms, including nasal congestion, dry cough, sinus irritation, nose bleeds and dry skin. She was suffering from all of them - particularly the nose bleeds and dry skin and hasn't suffered for a little while now. Huge improvement. Cocoa is also so quiet I can barely tell it is operating which means it does not interrupt her sleep at all - it operates silently and efficiently misting up to 2.1 gallons of moisture per day. It is powerful enough to humidify a room up to 250 square feet - her room is not nearly that large so it does its job no problem at all.
