“Grow your Game” – Men’s ROGAINE

Besides worrying about getting gray some of us Dad’s also begin to worry about hair loss. The dreaded widow’s peak is starting to make an appearance for this Dad. I’m looking forward to using ROGAINE treatments. As directed – I will use a half a capful of ROGAINE foam twice a day (morning and evening). It’s a leave in formula, so make sure it’s dry before you go to bed.

Many of you may recognize Bill Rancic from “The Apprentice”. He was not fired by Donald Trump and was the first winner of the show. Bill came on board with ROGAINE in May 2012 and is currently serving as the brands first ever “Growth Coach”. Bill tells about real world experiences and personal situations and not letting his hair loss get in his way.

The “Grow you Game” initiative – A few small changes in your life can give you or anyone the confidence to achieve anything. That shock of looking in the mirror and seeing your losing hair or over weight can really take the wind out of your sails. I’m taking back my confidence by using ROGAINE foam, eating better and getting out for a walk once a day. Just these few extra minutes a day can make a lifetime of difference in your confidence and attitude. Check out what Bill Rancic and 5 other men are saying about the “Grow you Game” initiative.

A few ROGAINE facts:

It is FDA approved and Easy to use.
ROGAINE is the #1 Dermatologist recommended brand for hair regrowth.

Did you know that …

“Hereditary hair loss affects up to 40% of all men and more than 15 million men admit to being concerned about the condition.”

Why not start fixing that concern today! ROGAINE is available nationwide at food, drug and mass retailers, or even online at www.rogaine.com.

Get Healthy with Insync Probiotic #NaturalProbiotic #shop #cbias

Our family really strives to live a healthy lifestyle, but I want to preface that by saying we don’t do it perfectly and we are still on our journey to better health. Always room for improvement, right? Though I have to say we celebrate our two year anniversary of being cold and flu free next month! One of the ways we live healthy is taking a natural probiotic and a daily multivitamin.

Insync Probiotic

Insync Probiotic is a natural probiotic I have been taking for the past three weeks. It is available at Meijer stores in the “condition specific” section. It contains doctor recommended B. infantis’, which is a healthy probiotic bacteria that has been found to help women with irritable bowel syndrome (Source: National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine). I have found it easy on my digestive system.

Four Things to Stay Healthy

Here are four other things to do to help maintain a healthy digestive system balance in addition to taking a natural probiotic.

1. Eating the right foods. One of my favorite fall and winter time foods is soup, especially Potato Kale Soup. It has lots of yummy veggies that keep your digestive system going.

It looks wonderful in the above photo with all its brightly colored vegetables, and it’s how the children prefer it, but I prefer to blend it together as the recipe calls for, which makes it look not quite so appealing. It is oh-so-yummy though!

2. Getting enough sleep is an important part of staying healthy and giving our body the rest it needs to function properly.

3. Get enough exercise. I struggle with this one because I like to get my exercise naturally rather than go to the gym or get on exercise equipment. One of the reasons I want to live on a farm! The thing is I have so many children that usually what’s left for me is weeding the garden which no one else enjoys. Before my older two boys took it over, one of my favorite things to do in the winter was shovel snow. Exercise aids in regular bowel movements.

4. Laughter. We are all probably familiar with the old proverb “Laughter is good medicine”, but it rings true. Exercise, laughter and having fun gets the endorphines going and reduces stress in our life. Less stress promotes good digestion and promotes good health.

Perfumes and Colognes

I’m not a huge perfume fan but I have my favorite, which is also my husband’s favorite, but it is no longer made by its manufacturer. Boo hoo. I am on my last bottle of it. It’s been nearly 20 years since I bought it, at which time I bought like four of them. Let’s just say I have used it very sparingly and for mostly special occasions.

My husband doesn’t always use cologne or aftershave. Sometimes I even have to hint for him to put some on, other times he surprises me. I’ve loved my husband’s cologne since I have known him. He uses Drakkar Noir. Sigh. I get dreamy eyed smelling it on him! (blush!)

I actually bought him some as a surprise at Christmas time since he was getting low. It was a discount fragrance and an impulse buy while grocery shopping. I’m glad I got it for him because now he can wear it more often!

Did you get any new perfume for Christmas? What is your favorite perfume or men’s cologne?

Gift Ideas for Mom and Dad – Active Faith Sports

Posted by html404 on December 19, 2013
in Clothing, Deals, Gift Ideas, Holidays, Products for Dad, Products for Mom, Reviews, SALES, Sports, Sportswear, Uncategorized

Less than a week before Christmas and all in the house were scurrying about, trying to come up with last minute gift ideas for mom and dad…..

Is that you? I only have a few gift cards left to get and some flowers to order (which may be already ordered by the time this post goes live!) If you have some people of faith on your gift list who are into fitness Active Faith Sports may have some gift ideas for you. I recently got my husband a pair of “basketball” shorts as most of his are nearly 20 years old – I don’t know how that man retains clothing that long! Guess he bought quality clothes that lasted.

We found the Active Faith Sports basketball shorts to run big. Robert likes them longer since he is tall, but the large are big on him. Not so much in the waist as the legs. My husband says they feel nice and are comfortable just baggier than he usually wears and prefers. He has super thin legs though! They’d probably be fine on a larger framed man. The material is breathable and decent quality. I cannot say how they wash up since my husband doesn’t usually wear shorts in the winter and he’s not part of a fitness center or gym. If I remember, I will try to update this post to reflect laundering come spring time.

Please note his model pose in his hand…goofy man…he makes me laugh though! Couldn’t mess too long with the photos because he told me to hurry up because he was cold!

Prices for Active Faith Sports are in the middle range. Not cheap, not super expensive. They are hosting 12 days of Christmas deals. Each day something new is on sale so if anything strikes your fancy be sure to visit their website for the daily Christmas sales.

Active Faith Sports also offers women’s wear and kids wear. Perfect for a physically active family. And of course the whole goal of Active Faith Sports is to allow Christians in sports to share their faith with others, thus the name “Active Faith.” A company worthy of mentioning and supporting this Christmas season.

Pur Gum Review

Posted by Brande on December 6, 2013
in All Natural Products, Blog Stuff, Food and Treats, Products for Dad, Products for Mom, Reviews, Shopping, Uncategorized

Kick Aspartame! Pur Gum comes in 4 flavors Wintergreen, Pomegranate, Spearmint, & Peppermint. They all taste great and are long lasting. It’s not one of the gums that gets hard and is almost impossible to chew after 5 minutes. And yes, you can blow bubbles.

When they say Pur – that’s what they mean. This gum is vegan, gluten-free, non-gmo, nut-free, celiac, & diabetic friendly! And is safe for pregnant moms! It’s the gum for everyone and is flavored with Xylitol.

This is going to be a staple in the car for me. That’s when I’m usually chewing gum.

Pur Gum is available in over 10,000 locations and 20 countries! If you can’t find it in your area, Pur Gum is also available on Amazon.com!

Like Pur Gum on Facebook or find them on twitter @purgum.
