White Cloud CigarettesNow that the New Year is here, I'm sure everyone has begun forging their long list of resolutions which will make you both healthier and happier.  Quitting smoking is always a top priority for most smokers every year and I have been extremely curious about the new electronic cigarettes which have recently hit the market.

While smoking a traditional cigarette is definitely detrimental to your own health and possibly even those around you, it also has other side effects such as yellowing of the hair, teeth and nails.  If you smoke inside your home, you'll also find that your home's walls and possessions will become sticky and yellow over time too.  I should know.

Both of my parents smoked the entire time I was growing up and I was a social smoker myself, until I finally quit four years ago.  White Cloud Cigarettes generously allowed me to review their Cirrus II Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit as well as a variety 5-pack of cartridges.  Keep reading to find out how this electronic cigarette could definitely make you healthier and happier in the new year!

I reviewed the Cirrus II Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit from White Cloud Cigarettes, which retails for $249.95 with FREE SHIPPING.  I also reviewed the variety 5-pack of cartridges, which retail for $19.95.

But wait, there`s more! »

Personal Training with Jackie Xtreme Crunch-Free AbsLike many other Americans, my quest for improved physical fitness will begin with an all new vigor on January 1st.  Of course, I'd like to improve my overall health and well-being by becoming more physically fit, but more than anything else, I want to look better in my clothes and shed those holiday pounds I've managed to put on.

For me, my midsection is my number one enemy and one that I plan to attack full force in 2011.  I have to admit though, that I absolutely HATE doing crunches because of the strain that is put on my lower back and neck.  Is there any other way to get sculpted abs?  Apparently, YES!  Jackie Warner has created an all new workout video entitled, "Personal Training with Jackie: Crunch-Free Xtreme Abs", which I had the opportunity to review.  Keep reading to find out more!

I reviewed the Personal Training with Jackie: Crunch-Free Xtreme Abs DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment, which retails for $14.98, but is currently on sale for $11.99 with FREE SHIPPING.

Yucatan GuacamoleHere in Texas, the food we eat has a lot of Mexican influences, and spicy fare such as tamales, enchiladas and tacos are quite commonplace.  Around the holidays, our family gatherings always consist of a few south of the border favorites, like salsa and guacamole dips with tortilla chips.

Usually, I can find the time to concoct my favorite guacamole recipe for dipping, but during the holidays, when I'm busy making a ton of other foods, I like to rely on the store-bought guacamole dip.

This year, my family had the opportunity to sample two avocado-based selections from Yucatan Foods, the Authentic Guacamole and the Avo-Hummus.  Keep reading to learn all about our Yucatan Foods Holiday Moustache Party!

I reviewed the Authentic Guacamole and Avo-Hummus from Yucatan Foods.  Visit Avocado.com to find out where you can purchase these varieties!

B. Toys

Colossal Christmas Countdown:

5 Days Until Christmas!

 

My daughter couldn't love animals more and as a total animal lover myself, I always enjoy finding toys which foster creativity as well as a sensitivity towards animals.  Of course, every mom would love for their child to become a doctor too, since it's a highly prestigious career that helps people and/or animals.  Now, B. Toys has found a way to combine all of these interests into one super fun toy, the Critter Clinic.  Keep reading to learn much more!

I reviewed the Critter Clinic from B. Toys, which retails for $44.99, but is currently on sale for $32.97.
