Imagine poisoning yourself every single day of your life. Well, I am sure you would not want it, and you might say I am a little bit morbid. But in reality, you just might be doing this to yourself and you are just not aware of it! One word: Chlorine.

You might already be familiar to the health risks of drinking chlorinated or acidic water: arthritis, diabetes, cancer, and many more. But as it is said, your body absorbs 600% more chlorine by taking a shower than by drinking a glass of water. And this should be considered a major health concern, as chlorine is normally present in ordinary tap and shower water. Have you been experiencing skin itchiness and lacklustre skin and hair after every bath? Probably that’s one way of telling chlorine is doing its dirty works on you.

Best Water, who’s been in the business since 1999, aims to provide a mountain stream to your tap. It first promoted an ionizer to convert tap water into more healthful, antioxidant-rich alkaline water. But since realizing that chlorine is absorbed more in the skin than by drinking, Best Water came up with two more products that will save each and everyone from the chlorine scare in terms of external use: the Vitashower Filter and Vitabath Dechlorination Tablets. This way health protection would be stronger.

What are the benefits of chlorine-free, alkaline water? First, it puts an end to after-bath itchiness. It lets you say goodbye to dry skin and scalp while saying “hello” to healthier and younger-looking skin. Not only that, it also do wonders to your hair as it helps make it softer and more manageable. Those with colour-treated hairs makes the colour last more.

Babies and children need utmost protection because of their delicate condition. For skin care and protection, Vitabath Dechlorination Tablets is a great product to prevent skin problems caused by the harsh tap water. These tablets are composed of ascorbic acid, citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. This combination of ingredients is designed to neutralize chlorine and chloramines in baths, hot tubs or spas. One tablet of Vitabath Dechlorination Tablet will dissolve and fizz in water and ensures to neutralize 1 ppm chlorine and chloramines in 100 gallons of water. The vitamin C in the tablet turns free chlorine and chlorine by-products into a harmless compound. Just a tablet (or half) per bath guarantees a favour to your and your baby’s health, and more. You can even use this product for your aquarium or fish tanks to keep your fish friends healthy! I should know, I have been using Vitabath since I first tried it. In fact my whole family is using it. Because if months ago we experience skin chaffing and itchiness, now it’s only smoothness and suppleness for everyone. I never thought to blame the chlorinated water, but now, I know better! Prior to all these, I also decline ideas of using filters. Then again, why not when it gives nothing but positive results?

The Vitashower Filter vitamin C shower filter has also the same principles as the first one, but this one is a device used to de-chlorinate water in your shower and turn the tap water into a chlorine-free, odourless, clean and nutrient-rich fluid. I am using it every day now and love it!

Water is one of the most important elements here on earth. You can go on several weeks or days without food but never a few days without water. So, make the most out of the water and experience the goodness in it by using Vitashower Filter and Vitabath Dechlorination Tablets.

Hence, it is a great addition to your living room and there enjoy spending date movie nights with your loved one practically whenever you want it. And because it also has built-in Wi-fi and Bluetooth, there is nothing more you could ask for. In fact it’s most often that I connect my laptop now to 2320 that serves as my external 23” monitor.

It is a combined PC and monitor that is only 2.67 inches thick, slightly broader than a regular 23-inch television. It is a 1920-by-1080-resolution screen, which produced crystal-clear images compatible with both YouTube videos and Blu-Ray movies, just to name a few.

The programming is designed heavily for media, so might as well use a regular computer for other purposes besides media.

Although it has minor cons like limited computer software functionalities (because it is strongly for media use), lack of technical features like HDMI output and USB 3.0 (for faster processing of files saved at USB), and a large power brick (as opposed to others who only require a power cord), the features that Dell Inspiron One 2320 has will definitely outweigh all of those. Buying this multimedia genius for your loved one will definitely ensure a loving aura all year ‘round! Work or play, Dell Inspiron One 2320 with Optional Touch Screen is just the thing!

In 2005, the world welcomed a new company Pediped. Since its inception, the Company has shown commitment in improving the lives of the needy children by donating to charities average of $1,500,000 in terms of monetary and products.

In addition to giving out 50 percent of certain product sales to the needy children, Pediped has also rolled out a rewards program to its customers.

The most memorable gift basket I received last year is the Christmas Gift Basket Classic from Gourmet Gift Baskets, which my daughter cherished very much especially the included cheese biscuits. The lovely taste of the Gourmet pushed me in researching more about the products. The gift basket I received featured several exquisite treats that were artistically arranged and fitted all of us. From the package I received, I can guarantee you that a Gourmet Gift Basket is a perfect gift that fits everyone and impresses your special ones especially as a Valentine’s Day Gift idea.

Not only does the Gourmet Gift Basket serve as a darling gift to all, it also makes a strong statement by adding a special dimension to the gift. You no longer need to torment yourself about the gifts to issue to gratify different individuals as you can do it by purchasing a single gift. The touching effect of the gift I received was dynamic. I for once forgot about my daughter Fiona who also seemed lost in the gifts with a cheese biscuit on her mouth. Whether you are looking for a party’s gift, corporate gift, family gift or a special one Valentine’s Day Gift idea, you will not go wrong with this lovely and tasty Gourmet Gift Basket.

The most fascinating feature of the Gourmet Gift Basket is the diversity, which allows receivers of the gift to try new products they never thought of purchasing from the store. Since the basket includes different elegant and lovely gifts, you are guaranteed the receiver will find something new despite their food adventure. The collection included in the Gourmet represents the world diversity foods from different regions and countries. However, it is always important to purchase from renowned global companies with reputed knowledge for taste and ability to satisfy.

I also realized you could decide to customize the Gourmet Gift Basket to include personal tastes and preferences especially when you understand the receivers taste. For example when the receiver has craving for coffee products, you can blend different types of coffee products ranging from Kenyan coffee to Sumatran, Hawaiian, Columbian and Puerto Rican among other blends. You can also include delight chocolates and cookies to match with the coffee products or wafers and biscotti among other enchantments.

You can also customize the Gourmet Gift Basket to fit your Valentine’s Day Gift idea especially when sending to specific category of people. You can include many children delights when sending the gift to a family with a larger number of kids or remove the children delights when sending to adults. Otherwise, I would prefer a balanced gift package.

I have been using Elite Therapeutics cream for the last 2 weeks and really enjoy it. Elite cream is dense and has healing properties which makes it a perfect moisturizer for the whole body on a daily basis. Elite Therapeutics uses Vitamin-E technology combined with cutting-edge delivery systems, antioxidants and critical cellular nutrition ingredients sourced from indigenous and exotic regions around the globe to protect, repair and restore the skin. The product line has got a perfect blend of some of the most skin beneficial ingredients on the planet. By combining Hyaluronic Acid with the other core ingredients, the end result is a nourishing blend that is truly revolutionary.

The inclusion of Vitamins A and C, as well as the super-power Vitamin E, make this crème an ideal choice for severely troubled skin. It is highly recommended for sensitive skin, atopic dermatitis and acne prone skin.

I generally get a very dry skin during winter and my skin needs all the moisture to protect it from chapping. I started out implementing the particular Elite crème not merely each day inside my normal program, yet some instances per day and the results were so positive. I carry my Elite crème before I step out of my house. By looking at my results my husband who was also using another expensive creme also started using my Elite creme and guess what, Elite daily cream has been able to replace the expensive small jar and it performs much better than the previously used creme.

From the many facial creams that I have tried in the past, Elite daily cream is very gentle and is amazing for dry skin and cool weather conditions. It has got a right amount of hydration which on application does not make it feel greasy. It has got several effects such as cleanness, revitalization, moisturisation, regeneration and silkiness. All in One. What else can one demand from a daily moisturizer?

I love this product and it makes my skin so soft. But what I like most about Elite Therapeutics is that they make only paraben-free and cruelty free products, which only means that they do not test on animals. Their creams, lotions and moisturizers adhere to my “green” preferences on buying different products. I’d give very high marks Elite Therapeutics Elite Crème for their effective hydrating and protective skin products as well as their turn to being environmentally-friendly product development. And don’t forget, they smell really great too!

Nothing works best in a fast paced techy life than to bring your access to the web with you anywhere you are. Laptop is one of the most helpful gadget ever invented. But not every laptop available in the market can satisfy you as Dell Inspiron 15R with switch lid can.

Once I was able to connect with friends in another country which I have not seen for quite so long and Inspiron did not once let me down. I was able to see them and be seen by them using the built-in HD webcam. We both have Inspiron and so were equally pleased with the wide display of HD (720p) wild display. Inspiron has been my companion even to just relax and see a movie. Would you believe that it can wirelessly project movies, videos, online shows, photo’s and the likes on your TV with Intel WiDi. A surreal Blu-ray 3D movie playbackon your 3D capabale TV using HDMI 1.4 is also possible (optional Blu-raydrive).

Disney on Ice is a fun-filled experience my little daughter and I would never forget. It was something she had been dreaming of seeing in person and this year, I made her wish come into reality! We had fun memories with the magic Show and I am sure my daughter will forever treasure them!

Every child has a dream. They may dream for varying things or situations, but one thing is for sure. They have dreamed to become a price or a princess, a queen or a king, and a knight or a fairy. This is very true for my daughter as she has always wanted to experience how it’s like to be a princess. Every magical dream can be a reality by watching the Disney on Ice 100 years of magical show. We may be awakened from that dream, but for sure it would be a dream that is imprinted into our hearts. My daughter’s journey to watching the Disney on Ice started as a dream. “Someday, I’ll be meeting the prince and Princesses”, my daughter whispered. So when I got the chance to receive the tickets to the show, I know this can be the best gift I can give her.

I entered the wide theatre stage together with my daughter and got a look around. The theatre was filled with happy people, young and old. As the clock ticks signaling the start of the show, my daughter couldn’t hide her excitement no more. And puff, there we saw the different Disney characters that have lived and have come to life. Snow white, Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, and Ariel have fabulously presented themselves into the entire crowd while showing their graceful skating styles and techniques. Plus, each Disney character where danced by their handsome and knightly prince. Other captivating dances were performed by Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket, Nemo, and lots of other Disney characters. “Hurray to them”, is what I and my daughter can only say while watching the graceful and joyful dances of each character.

The theatre play was dynamic as it plays all the Disney songs. Disney characters dancing to the tune of their own Disney music such as you’ll be in my heart, zip-a-Dee-doh-dah, feed the birds, colors of the wind, someday my prince will come, kiss the girl, beauty and the beast, a whole new world, when you wish upon a star, circle of life, and many more. While you watch the Disney characters dance, you’ll sure to feel each lyrics and rhythm. You’ll be captivated to dance and sing with them. The play brings so much happiness, laughter, and joy into our heart. My daughter got this last song syndrome with, “can you feel the love tonight”. Yes, definitely, each character brings love into our hearts.

You will surely feel that you are living in the world of magic while watching the show as each character are well-presented with colors and unique designs. Overall, it was a perfect theatre experience that we would be grabbing again if chances are open. It is not just the best show, but a unique, true to the heart show. The Disney on Ice show taught us to dance and sing with our dreams.

Wraps and cashmere shawls are essential part of women’s clothing. They come handy during colder months with the chic yet classy fashion they render to any ensemble. Since they are a staple to every woman’s wardrobe, you should find wraps that will last for many seasons and one that will complement any color and dress style that you are wearing.

The Shilow Wrap from ecoSkin is a great choice for this clothing staple. I have reviewed this one from ecoSkin and I like how it’s contemporary design and fits my own drive for eco-consciousness. You’d be surprised to know how costly it is to make each piece of clothing, and how great it’s impact on the environment. ecoSkin recognizes our desire to protect the environment and it is apparent in the efforts of founder Sandy Skinner, her respect for the people and the planet through the clothing that she makes.

Like me, many moms out there also wonder how they can support the planet without sacrificing the quality of things we buy. The move for more serious clothing line such as the ecoSkin is like reinforcing our desire to live responsible, green and still be eco-fashionable. Yes it is now possible with a growing number of choices for women’s wear and now we no longer have to choose between being chic and fashionable nor eco-friendly as we can be both!

In choosing my clothes, I’ve opt for some of the best quality, yet I also want to stay committed to living green in any way I can. Apart from the Shilow Wrap in Grey, ecoSkin also offers different clothing lines to fashion savvy individuals who wants to stay socially responsible with their choices. EcoSkin follow a strict standard in its dye and manufacturing facilities around Los Angeles area. The founder, boost a demanding quality, environmental as well as labor standards for their products.

Despite the newness of this eco-company, ecoSkin is slowly becoming a preferred clothing line for many. As the demand for responsibly-produced eco-chic and eco-friendly products grow, the industry will want more responsible makers. This will help our aim of having a cleaner and greener planet much easier to achieve simply with each clothing purchase we make.

I would love to have some more of ecoSkin clothes to add to my wardrobe for the New Year. The staples, such as the Shilow Wrap from EcoSkin will serve me well for different occasions and I would not feel guilty about wasting and energy consumption. With their eco-chic and fashionable clothing line, I can dare to be different without losing my sense of style.

During the cooler months, my middle daughter is either really cold or really hot in her winter clothes. I feel like she just cannot get comfortable whether she is inside or outside. I’m constantly adding layers or stripping them off of her to make sure she’s not shivering or sweaty.

If only her entire winter wardrobe could be made up of Merino Kids’ Baby Hoodies! Babysleepbags.com sent me an adorable navy blue hoodie to review and we couldn’t love it more. Currently these hoodies sell for $49.99 (with free shipping!) and come in two different sizes (6-12 months and 12-24 months). Merino wool naturally regulates body temperature which means that my daughter won’t get too hot or too cold while wearing this all-natural, allergy-safe merino hoodie.

At 22-months old, my daughter still easily fits into the 12-24 month size but her 15-month old boy cousin can also wear it. I was very impressed that this sweet wool hoodie looked great on both kiddos despite their size difference. Its scoop neck allows it to fit easily over a child’s head and the ribbed knit around the wrist cuffs and waist band ensure a slightly-snug custom fit to a child’s body.

I love that our Merino Kids hoodie will be with our family for a long time–the quality of the merino wool material, gender-neutral color and fit, and workmanship of the product itself ensure that we will be getting a lot of use out of it for years to come.

~ Allie
