Nutrilite Supplements (Giveaway)

September 16, 2011 By

Last month I went to the Amway Center of Health in California to view the process of how the Nutrilite supplements are made first-hand. We toured the facilities, watched batches of vitamins being made, and listened to a few interesting speakers on who and what Nutrilite is all about. If you aren’t familiar with Nutrilite, they are the  the leader of mineral, vitamin, and dietary supplements worldwide. Their plant concentrates are grown according to sustainable farming principles on their organic farms like Trout Lake Farm, pictured below. This is one of the major reasons I believe they are the leader in their industry.

Why you need vitamins…

I will shamefully admit before this experience I never took vitamins, but I decided to go on this trip because I needed the knowledge and that little extra push to living a more healthy life. Nutrilite and the doctors, scientists, and everybody behind the scenes are very firm believers that you can only achieve optimal health through a healthy diet, exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices. You then fill in the nutritional gaps with Nutrilite supplements.

Color yourself healthy

One of the most interesting things I learned is that we are actually supposed to be eating 9-13 servings of fruits and vegetables each day and you should try to eat every color of fruit and vegetable. Why do colors matter? Each color contains different plant nutrients, or phytonutrients, which act as antioxidants to protect your cells and also have specific health benefits. Here is a great chart with all of the fruits and vegetables in each color category and what nutrients are associated with them.

Giveaway We will be giving away a 31 day supply of NUTRILITE® DOUBLE X® Supplements to three Busy Mommy readers. Double X helps fill your nutritional gaps with 12 essential vitamins, 10 essential minerals, and 20 plant concentrates, grown and harvested on our own certified organic farms. No artificial colors or preservatives.

Enter by leaving a mandatory comment below with anything you learned about Nutrilite supplements. You can get a few extra entries by sharing this as many places as you want… (Twitter, Facebook, StumpleUpon, Pinterest, etc) each for an extra entry. Please provide links to these. Giveaway is open to US only and ends on October 7th.

Smucker’s Ice Cream Toppings (Gift Basket Giveaway!)

September 14, 2011 By

I love ice cream. As a young girl, I used to beg my mom to get the Smucker’s hard shell topping and when it first came out, I thought it was magic happening right before my eyes. Now I’m more of a classic girl, with a love of hot fudge and caramel. A drizzle of Smucker’s hot caramel over my Peanut Butter Bar Ice Cream Cookie Cups would taste divine and I shouldn’t even mention hot fudge on Chocolate Strawberry Shortcakes, or you may have to go make them right now.

With all of this ice cream talk, I better share my classic hot fudge sundae recipe with you….

How Many Jellybeans Can You Fit Inside a LG French Door Refrigerator?

September 2, 2011 By

How many jellybeans can fit in the new LG French door refrigerator? Take a guess and if you’re spot on, you could win a brand new set of LG appliances! But let me give you a guessing tip, the number of jelly beans might be more than you think because the LG French door fridge is the largest capacity fridge on the market, with super-organized tiers, baskets, and shelves helping you pack your fridge to the fullest while still being organized.

LG wanted to demonstrate how monstrous this fridge really is by filling it with thousands, hundreds of thousands, heck – even millions of jellybeans. Maybe if I tell you a little more about it, I can help you visualize how many of these little candies will fill it.

BIG SPACE. COOL FEATURES.

Smart Cooling Plus technology keeps the temperature and humidity right where it needs to be and the Fresh Air Filter helps your food from going stale. The cool features like the door alarm and LoDecibel™ for Quiet Operation are added bonuses. As for the space, this is the largest capacity for a standard width refrigerator – 31 cubic feet.

The space means nothing if you can jam-pack your fridge with food, but can’t tell where anything is. The tempered glass shelves (and 1 folding!), door baskets with adjustable sizing, and three tier organization in the freezer means you can get to your food quickly and keep it easily organized.

GUESS HOW MANY JELLYBEANS!

To help give you a better idea of how many jellybeans might fit in the LG French Door refrigerator, I am running a mini jellybean contest here. Study the two photos below of this 18 oz Jelly Belly jar and enter your guess in the form below and you could win a $250 Amex or Visa gift card! Be sure to enter the LG Facebook giveaway for a brand new set of appliances as well!
