Yoga by the Dozen DVD Review & Giveaway

Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

“Discover an exercise that fosters respect, coordination, and self-confidence for kids!  It’s Yoga, of course!  Children are natural yogis because of their “in the moment attitude”.  Yoga nourishes their mind, body and spirit and paves the way for a life-long tradition of health and fitness.

Yoga By The Dozen™promotes a healthy lifestyle for kids through their highly acclaimed ‘Yoga By The Dozen’ DVD and their complete line of lifestyle products for yoga.  The top-selling DVD is a fun, interactive children’s yoga video, designed especially for kids ages 2-6.  JoAnna and her 12 friends demonstrate a ‘dozen’ fundamental poses that will introduce your children into the exciting world of Yoga.”

Key Benefits:

  • Increase Cognitive & Motor skills
  • Confidence, Courage and Self-Esteem
  • Balance & Coordination
  • Memory Retention and Concentration
  • Nurture Creativity and Self Expression
  • Respect for themselve and each other
  • Proven therapy for kids with ADHD and Autism

About JoAnna Ross:  “Founder of Yoga By The Dozen™ was trained at City Yoga in Anusara teach-training program.  A life long performer, having danced on Broadway for years, found her natural charisma as a performer instantly clicked with kids.”

My Review:  I discovered a few things about myself when reviewing “Yoga by the Dozen”.  I need A LOT of practice, I have little balance and no flexibility. 

My daughter (2 years old) and I put on “Yoga by the Dozen”, she loved it!  Watching the children on the DVD (who are little older than her) bend and stretch their bodies into poses.  She was following along (she’s needs to work on her balance too, must be a family trait) and trying to say the different poses on the DVD.  She’s a big fan of the Virabhadrasana #3 (Warrior #3 Pose).   The DVD is approximately 30 minutes.  JoAnna demonstrates the pose first and then one of the children replicates the pose to refresh the other children.  Then the whole class does the pose together.  I enjoyed watching the kids, they are all really enjoying themselves in the DVD.  We are going to continue practicing our yoga!

This is a wonderful DVD for beginning adults and children of all ages.  On the “Yoga by the Dozen” website www.yogabythedozen.com, you can also visit their store, they have yoga mats and yoga t-Shirts for kids and adults; and don’t forget your video for only 17.99 (plus s&h). 

“Yoga by the Dozen” was generous enough to enable Faith & Family Reviews to host a giveaway!!

FFR Swiss Colony Giveaway! *CLOSED*

Congratulations to Leslie! You won this giveaway! Winner chosen by Random.org. Thanks to all who entered and to Swiss Colony for sponsoring this great giveaway!!!

Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

Blame me for this giveaway being posted late. My daughter had it all ready and need me to write up the review, which I did not get to until today.

When you think of watermelon, don’t you think of summer time and picnics? Guess that is what made me choose a cake in the shape of watermelon to review from Swiss Colony.

What made this cake unique is the not only its shape but that it had mini chocolate chips throughout. I think that was my favorite part!

The outer layer of icing was a little hard, but the bottom almost tasted like white chocolate. It was layered in pink and white colored cake batter and was very rich. One piece is enough for most. There were only two of us that got two pieces, so it serves 10-12 people. Perfect party servings.

Overall the cake was not a favorite among our family, but thought it was a very cute cake. Half the family did not really like the cake but ate it. The other half liked the cake but not the frosting. My husband and oldest thought it was too sweet, but cute.

So the watermelon shaped cake gets a two thumbs up for being cute and you all have a chance to win it!

Enter to win a Watermelon Cake! Estimated value $29.95

Mandatory Entry: Visit Spring.SwissColony.com and let me know what else you would like to try from their new Spring products!

***Closed*** FFR Crocs Tone Review and Giveaway

Congratulations to Erica! You won this giveaway! Winner chosen by Random.org. Thanks to all who entered and to Crocs for sponsoring this great giveaway!!!

Crocs has a new line of women’s shoes out called Crocs Tone. This new line of shoes has 4 different shoes in many colors and styles. Check them out below:

The Skylar Sandal:

The Skylar Flip-Flop:

The Skylar Clog:

The Skylar Flat:

The new line of Crocs Tone shoes, a new women’s collection that comes in 4 stylish models that still uses the same lightweight and odor-resisting, patented Croslite material as the original Crocs. The new Crocs Tone shoe offers the benefits of toning for your upper and lower legs without sacrificing any comfort or style. How wonderful is that?

My Review:

I was sent a pair of the Skylar Clogs to review in watermelon color because I am a girly girl. Love the color by the way! I also like the fact that you can wear them with the strap around your heel or you can push them forward and wear them like a slip on with no strap around your heel.

When I first tried them on I felt rather teetering because of the design on the bottom of the Skylar Clogs, it’s like you can rock in them when you stand. Weird I know, but after a walking in them that goes away the more you walk. Just took some getting use to compared to my other footwear.

I have to say that I really like Crocs. I have never had a pair before and I might have to fight with my daughter for them (not really but you’ll see why I say that). My 10 year old daughter took a shine to my new Crocs and tried them out even before I did since I was at the organic farming conference when they arrived. When I talked to home base over the phone they told me that my CROCS had arrived and asked if Giggles could open them, I said yes. Little did I know she would wear them ALL weekend long! And yes they fit her because we think she is going to be tall since her feet are nearly the size of mine and I wear size 9! Although I am short…..so I could be wrong, but she is tall for her age.

Editor’s Note 3/12/11: I wore them all day yesterday while working in the greenhouse and a walk around the neighborhood and I did start to get a blister on the top of my feet and the pads of my foot are sore a little. They are not quite broken in but my knees do not hurt and usually a shoe will let me know in my knees that they do not have enough support!

Two thumbs up for Skylar Clogs from Crocs!

Enter to win a pair of Crocs! (winner gets to pick the style and color!) Estimated value $50.

Mandatory Entry: Tell me what style of the new Tone Crocs you want and what color!
