Crystal LightI'll be the first to admit that once summer hits, I go into serious diet and workout mode!  Short shorts, skirts and bathing suits definitely don't leave a lot to the imagination and so it's important for me to cut back on the calories and ramp up my exercise when I can.

Crystal Light has always been a mainstay for me during these times, for I'm the kind of gal who doesn't like the taste of just plain water.  Well, they've got something brand new this season designed to help you enjoy the summer without adding to your waistline.  Let me introduce you to the limited edition Crystal Light Mocktails!

Cooper Complete I can't even begin to tell you all of the things I've done to try and achieve perfect skin.  Since I've had kind of "Ugh!" skin my entire life, making my skin look its absolute best has always been my holy grail.  Of course, as any skin maven will tell you, beautiful skin can only truly be achieved by using the right products on both the outside and the inside of your body.

I do my best to eat a balanced diet and to take my vitamins daily, but I was completely unaware of a specialized dietary supplement created specifically for achieving gorgeous skin, hair and nails.  Cooper Aerobics has an entire line of specialized dietary formulas for many common issues and I was happy to learn that they offered a dermatologic health supplement for healthy skin, hair and nails.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed three bottles of Cooper Complete Dermatologic Health Dietary Supplements, which retail for $39.95 each.

20 Second FitnessI love being a stay-at-home mom, but there is one thing that I definitely am not a fan of and that's the weight I've put on since quitting my job to stay at home.  When I was a Science teacher, it seemed that I was constantly on the run.  I was one of those teachers who never sat down and was always on my feet meandering through the room, helping students and supervising their activities.

Now that blogging has taken the place of teaching, I find that sitting has taken the place of walking and standing and my waistline has expanded because of it.  Although I've tried to work out on a consistent basis, the fact is that I wear too many hats during the day and my time is stretched to its maximum.

I've yet to be able to find a workout program which truly fits in with my busy lifestyle...until now.  20 Second Fitness has allowed me to review their revolutionary workout program which absolutely ANYBODY can find the time for.  Keep reading to learn much more!

I reviewed the 20 Second Fitness Workout Program which retails for $99.99.

Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotic InsertsOne of the little things I like to tease my husband about now and again is how flat his feet are...especially when we go to the pool.  Once his feet get wet and he starts to walk around the pool, we both look back and laugh at the WHOLE footprint that gets left behind, instead of the half footprint most folks leave.

While this is a funny thing between us, unfortunately it is also a source of pain and discomfort for my husband.  Anytime that he must stand on a hard, flat surface for an extended amount of time, his lower back, knees and feet begin to ache.  He's tried numerous different inserts and arch supports designed to provide relief, but they have never completely alleviated the pain.

This is why I was so excited to review the new Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts for him.  Did they work?  Keep reading to find out!
