The Wisp Cleaning System

Watch out broom, here comes the WISP.., the latest home cleaning tool that is revolutionizing the home/floor cleaning experience.

Order yours HERE today!

The WISP’s innovative, electrostatic polymer bristles are amazingly effective at capturing dirt, pet fur, lint and other debris to clean floors, carpets, upholstery and outdoor surfaces like no other tool on the market.

The 3-piece WISP system includes:

·       Ingenious, patented foot-operated disposal device ever designed—the WISPpan—eliminating bending and kneeling to collect debris.

·       Angled, squeegee-like design, promoting an easy push or pull WISPing motion that requires only one hand.

·       A telescoping handle, providing easy access to hard-to-reach places.  

·       A condensed storage length of only 29 inches, providing great transportation and storability options.

My thoughts:

This is an absolutely amazing product that has definitely made cleaning up much easier! The fact that it expands for the specific needs that I use it for and the ease of storage. 

Normal brooms just don't cut it and the dustpans always seem to leave a gap where the dirt finds it's way under the pan and not inside of it. Plus the bending over to hold the dustpan hurts my back. 

With the wisp I don't have to worry that I'm not getting all the dirt or having to bend to hold the dustpan. All I had to do was step on the collection pan and clean up! 

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone!

ZAHLER PARAGUARD- PARASIT CLEANSE

Purchase on Amazon!

#paraguard

Product Description

Zahlers Paraguard is a potent defense against parasites which fights parasitic worms and bugs. Parasites are organisms that live and feed off their hosts, interfering with nutrient absorption, eventually causing weakness and disease. The longer the parasites propagate and excrete toxins into the bloodstream, the more susceptible the host is to viruses and bacterial infections. Zahler's ParaGuard contains a powerful blend of herbs that can help rid the body of worms and other parasite. It is an advanced formula intestinal flora support and aids in a healthy digestive system.




My thoughts:

This is a great supplement for those who are trying to cleanse the body of bacteria or parasite infections! 

The directions state to add 30 drops to water or juice. I would suggest to use just a few drops until you get use to the taste, it's pretty powerful. It doesn't taste bad it's just a very stout supplement that takes a bit of getting use to. 

The bottle is a good size and if used correctly will last for a while. It has a dropper already included so there is no need to purchase one separately. The supplement is amber in color and has a strong but pleasant woodsy smell. The smell is what you would expect from an all natural product. 

I do not currently have parasite issues that I am aware of but this is a great detoxifying supplement that definitely does the trick!

ZAHLER'S FLAX SEED OIL

Purchase on Amazon! 

#zahlerflaxseedoil

Product Description

Zahler's Flax Seed Oil is high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is converted by the body into other important nutrients like DHA and EPA.The Essential Fatty Acids contained in cardiovascular health and can help maintain a healthy balance of fatty acids. Cold pressed from organic flax seeds, Zahler's Flax Seed Oil keeps all of the natural nutrients intact, resulting in oil that's 100% pure and natural, unmodified by chemical refinements.

My Thoughts: 

I did some research on flax seed oil and it's uses and was pretty impressed with what it has to offer! It's main use seemed to be as an anti inflammatory agent. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and my joints hurt all the time. So being able to try the flax seed oil was a blessing for me. Now does it work?

It has helped to decrease the joint pain somewhat but I haven't taken it enough to see the long term effect of it. Now I do have to say that the supplement pills are a bit large and hard for me to swallow. They are coated so that helps but with the recommended dose being 1-3 pills, I think it was a bit much personally for me. I have only been taking one per day. The bottle contains 90 pills so for me this will last 3 months! 

The supplement also is used for other things as well, such as heart health, anxiety, and even digestive health. With so many great benefits for flax seed oil, the pros outweigh the cons.

Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker

Center for the Arts Concert Hall at George Mason University

Wednesday, December 16, 2015 - 7:00 pm

4400 University Drive, Fairfax Va. 22030

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to be something special. We all had those dreams when we are younger! Some wanted to be singers, firefighters, veterinarians and dancers! I personally wanted to be a rockstar lol but needless to say, that didn't happen and for good reason. My voice would have the dogs howling...Yikes. 

But with the special ballet dancers and those dreams in view, the Moscow Ballet was formed!

I have always wanted to go see a ballet performance in person but never had the opportunity to go. I was recently blessed with two free tickets through the USFamilyGuide Blogger Program to go to the performance of Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker. I decided to take my Bother in Law, who recently flew out from California. We were surely NOT disappointed with the show! From the minute I walked through the door I was greeted with great hospitality and warmth. 

I went to the desk to receive my tickets and within 20 minutes we were set to see the show! Really amazing seats! We arrived early due to the fact that we drove 3 hours to get where we were. Not knowing the area we wanted to leave early as to make sure we arrived in time. Thank you GPS! Parking was available near the Center for the Arts, for a price of course. Parking was a nightmare, but I will get to that later.

Anjanette, who gave me special permission to add her name and photograph to this post, was the door greeter who was most kind and welcoming. She had a wonderful smile and looked as though she thought that the job she was given was the best she had ever encountered! We had a wonderful conversation and she told me about the other performances that were coming to the Center for the Arts. Although I didn't have a lot of time to chat with her, she was one of those faces that definitely was a great asset to the show. 

The building and artwork inside was beautiful and I felt a little under dressed for the occasion but it didn't take me long just to relax and enjoy the moment.

There were tables set up so that one could enjoy a festive drink (I purchased a nice glass of white wine) or purchase a souvenir from the show. There was also a booth set up so one could take a picture with one of the ballerinas and let me tell you, they were beautifully dressed in their costumes!

Once the announcement was made for seating and the show began, no one was allowed in the auditorium after the doors closed. No photos or filming was allowed during the show, which made it a bit hard for me because, as a blogger, I love to show off what I am reviewing. Shhhhh.... I snuck in a few. I know I'm terrible lol but I just couldn't help myself. I do want to promise that through most of the show, I was captivated and wasn't even worried about taking pictures. I was afraid I would miss something! With my cell phone dimmed to it's lowest setting as to not disrupt those around me, I took a few pictures of the show. They, however, were not the best quality and looked as though I was so far away that I needed binoculars to see the performance. Plus I had a pretty tall gentleman seated in from of me.

The ballet was breathtaking! I couldn't believe, in all my years, I had never made the decision to actually go to the ballet. It was mesmerizing from the moment the curtain came up. The dancers were so graceful and the costumes were beautiful. As I watched I felt as if i was a part of the story watching from afar as everything took place. If you have never been to the Moscow Ballet, man or woman, I urge you to go. You will get caught up in the skill the performers have, the story in which they tell and the flow of their movements. Nothing I have ever seen has compared to the wonderful gift that the Moscow Ballet's performance of the Nutcracker has given me. If I ever get the chance to see them again, I will jump on the opportunity and will definitely bring my son with me so he can experience the beauty of the Ballet! 

Now to the "Later".....

Once the Ballet was finished and it was time to disperse, things got a little rough. This is where the parking issue became a problem and my night went from fantastic to horrible. When we got there, we parked in one of the campus parking garages. When we pulled in, a gentleman told us that we do not need to pay until we left and that the parking was $8 and handed us a ticket. OK no problem. We made sure that out of our spending money, we had the $8 to pay once we left. When we filed in line with the other cars to leave and got to the garage exit, we were charged $15. A little confused, I explained to the lady standing out to take payment that we were told it was $8 and that is all we had. The lady was very rude and told us that, at the time we came in that there was no one standing there that possibly could have told us that it was that price and that if we didn't pay then we were not allowed to leave and that the more time we spent not paying the $15 the price would go up. A little upset about the way I was talked to, I did lose my temper a bit, but who wouldn't when someone blatantly accuses you of lying and talks to you like all you are is a cow in the herd. I was told to move my truck out of the line as I was "holding up traffic and if I wasn't paying I needed to get out of their way." I never refused to pay the parking but when they got rude, it became more about the principle of the situation than the money issue. They asked me again if I was going to pay I told them all I had was $8. They walked away and campus security was called. There was a really nice lady security guard that came to talk to me and even she stated that it has always been $8 for an event so she wasn't sure what the issue was. Needless to say, in order for us to be able to leave, I had to use my credit card and pay the $15 to vacate the parking garage. I was extremely disappointed at the way I was treated and the rudeness I received from the parking garage attendants. As much as I enjoyed my night and the fantastic performance, I will never again go to an event held by the George Mason University Center for the Arts Concert Hall due to the utter rudeness I received at the parking garage. 

My experience with the parking garage attendants has NO reflection on the Moscow Ballet, it was only an experience with the University Staff that I had an issue with. So if your ever in an area that the Moscow Ballet will be in, I suggest you jump on the opportunity to go. You will not be disappointed with your purchase! Absolutely AMAZING!

How is the WatchMinder helping those with AD/HD, LD, and Autism spectrum disorders?
The WatchMinder is improving the relationships between parents and their children: because the WatchMinder prompts the child for specific behaviors and actions, the parent no longer needs to "nag" to accomplish these tasks.

Religious persons are using the WatchMinder to remind themselves to “pray” at specific times or throughout their days.

My Thoughts:

This is a great tool for anyone who needs that little extra push. Reminders throughout the day are a great way to start a new habit or to find better focus on things.

The device came with complete instructions and everything one needs to set up and use the Watchminder.

It was fairly easy to set up, although it took a bit to figure out how to charge the device it'self. Once the device is charged, one can set it up rather quickly. There are step by step instructions on how to set it to what times you want your reminders.

The device it'self fits differently on my son than it did on me. It didn't fit him quite as well but the company does offer a velcro band that can adjust for a better, more comfortable fit! This feature is a great asset for those with younger children and children with smaller bone structures.


The functioning of the Watchminder is excellent and does exactly what it specifies. This is great for those trying to stay focused or needing an extra reminder to take their meds. This is a great device for anyone and I would recommend it!

A 30-day research study reveals a 70% quit rate for smokers who participated in the study.

Directions:
Use the product once per day for 10 days, or as needed.

My thoughts:

I think this system is great for those who are wanting to quit smoking the natural way without using patches and gums out there on the market.

I have tried the patches and couldn't use them due to an allergy to the adhesive. The Nicotine gum tastes worse than the cigarette it'self and just didn't work well for me. The Freedom Quit Smoking System not only helps you to rid your body naturally but has a calming and relaxing method to it that helps to fight those cravings!

If you order this Freedom Quit Smoking System, I recommend reading the instructions fully before you set your quit date. Listen to the CD included with the set and then decide what date your making your commitment! Reading everything before starting the program is very important.

The headset that is included with the System works on 4 AAA batteries which are included with the package! 2 batteries go on each side of the headset. Once the batteries are in, you simply push the play button, lay back, listen and relax! The headset has a red light that turn on that send signals to your pressure points helping just the right areas to stop that craving!

It also comes with a wristband and spray to help aid in your cravings as well. The wristband is not only a reminder to you that you dedicated yourself to quitting smoking but when you get that craving you simply snap the band on your wrist to trigger your brain into a different habit. I have popped my wristband so much that it has almost come apart. The wristband looks like one of the hair ties I use in my hair.

The spray included in the kit is used when you are having a craving. I was a bit confused with this product because the ingredients on the back state that it contains tobacco but yet it is nicotine free. I did look up information on this and was pleased to know that there are many products out there that are nicotine free but contain tobacco. So this cleared my conscience about using the spray! They spray didn't have any taste and gave me the sense that I didn't need a cigarette. I'm not sure if that part was just in my head or if it actually worked as it states on the bottle. It worked either way so that is what was important!

I am on day 3 right now of the program and doing very well with the system! I haven't had a cigarette at all! The first day was the worst but as the days pass I find it easier to deal with the cravings and they are few and far between! This system has really helped me and I am on my way to being an ex smoker and having a healthier, longer life!

Thank you Freedom Quit Smoking System for helping me through these first few days! You have truly helped me save my own life!
