MPG SportNow that I'm a work-at-home mom, I require a completely different uniform than what I used to wear in an office setting.  The perfect "mom uniform" in my opinion, is something that looks sharp and stylish, yet is comfortable, practical and versatile enough for a variety of tasks.

High quality fitness wear is ideal for a work-at-home mom's uniform because it looks great while grocery shopping, playing with your children at the park, running various errands around town or getting your daily exercise at the gym.

Of course, with any form of exercise, mobility and comfort can make the difference between thoroughly enjoying your activity and watching the clock as to when it will end.  Thankfully, I had the opportunity to review four pieces of fitness wear from Mondetta Performance Gear.  Keep reading to learn much more!

Artemis Top in Charcoal/Diva Pink, which retails for $54.00

Race Top in Heather Charcoal/Diva Pink, which retails for $64.00

AvantGardenDecor.comIf there's ever a time to get outside and soak up all that nature has to offer, it's NOW!  Both plants and animals are at their busiest getting ready for winter, and we have a front row seat.  The trees are transforming themselves into gorgeous shades of red, brown and gold and the birds are traveling along their usual migration routes to warmer climes.

Of course the weather is magnificent too, with cool breezes cooling us off from the recently hot summer season.  Autumn is the time for backyard barbecues, camping trips and fishing.  Basically, if it's something that can be done outdoors, get out there and do it!  Unfortunately, all of this outdoor enjoyment made me realize one thing...I needed a beautiful backyard makeover!

Never fear, for AvantGardenDecor.com has everything you need for a total transformation.  Here's my top 4 product ideas for a gorgeous patio or backyard:

xZubi TechnologiesWhen it comes to my family's health, I do anything and everything I can to make wise decisions.  I do my best to eat healthy food, exercise regularly and cut out unhealthy activities like smoking and drinking.  But there's a new danger that's been getting a lot of buzz lately... cell phone radiation.

Since I have a genetics degree and was a Science teacher in a past life, I take scientific research very seriously.  Many scientists around the world have been conducting studies on the dangers of electromagnetic radiation in relation to cell phone use and, in my opinion, the results are quite alarming.

Of course, the cell phone industry states that there is no definitive relation to cell phone use and brain cancer or tumors, and that's true...to a point.  The problem is, cancer is a disease which takes several years, if not decades, to manifest itself and cell phones just haven't been around long enough yet for the true ramifications to become evident.

I find the comparison between cell phone radiation and cigarette smoking eerily similar.  The industry which profits blatantly denies any possibility of danger, while scientists warn that there's a definite possibility of harm.  Several decades later, everyone knows the imminent harm that can come from smoking a cigarette, but for many people, it's just too late.

Thankfully, xZubi Technologies has a preventative method everyone can take against electromagnetic field radiation until the matter of its dangers is officially settled.  Why take the risk of developing brain tumors and cancer, when for a very low price, your entire family can be protected?

I reviewed the xZubi Introductory Family 5-Pack which retails for $149.75, but is currently on sale for $59.95.

ecobeeDuring the fall, we frequently hear tips about how to better weatherproof our homes for the cold winter season that lies ahead. I haven't read a tip list yet which didn't mention using a programmable thermostat, and that's probably because 50 - 70 percent of our homes' energy consumption is directly related to its HVAC system. A programmable thermostat not only makes saving energy easy, it also saves us plenty of money quite effortlessly.

I have to admit that I didn't think there were many differences between various models of programmable thermostats...until I discovered the ecobee thermostat.  ecobee is a smart, innovative company with a brand new approach to home energy management.  I recently had the chance to learn more about their Smart Si thermostat.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Smart Si Thermostat from ecobee which retails for $270.00, but is currently on sale for $193.77 with FREE SHIPPING.

Monopoly MillionaireMonopoly is one of my favorite board games of all time.  I've spent countless hours amassing my imaginary fortunes and planning my strategies to dominate all.  Unfortunately, after a while, even the classics can become a little stale, which is why Monopoly has revamped itself with a brand new edition: Monopoly Millionaire.

The main change in this version of Monopoly is that instead of trying to be the one person who sends everyone else to bankruptcy, it's a race to be the first player to accumulate one million dollars.  Monopoly Millionaire has a few more surprises in store too.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Monopoly Millionaire game from Hasbro, which retails for $22.99 with FREE SHIPPING.
