Skinny Jane "Skinny Blend Protein Shake"
Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. 


Skinny Jane states that it helps women lose weight and be healthier and happier

While Oma is still successfully following the “5:2 Diet with Training;” the body becomes use to routines. Therefore it is important to mix up your approach a bit. That is why Oma was excited at the opportunity to review a sample from ‘Skinny Jane.’

Skinny Jane states that it helps women lose weight and be healthier and happier.

We offer two weight loss challenges and several weight loss supplements on our website, skinnyjane.com. The product we are promoting here is Skinny Jane's Skinny Blend and we sell it on Amazon and on Skinnyjane.com.

Oma received a seven day sample bag of the Skinny Jane a weight loss shake. My assignment was to describe to my readers the taste of Skinny Blend and the ease of its preparation. Oma will also relate if the product suppressed her appetite and increased her energy.

Oma replaced one meal for a shake for one week and follow a reasonable diet to see if any weight loss is realized.

Skinny Blend - Nutritional Info:


• 100 calories per serving

• Only 1 gram of sugar

• 3-4 grams of fiber

• Special blend of 7 proteins

Benefits:


• Suppresses appetite

• Boosts metabolism

• Speeds weight loss



Oma is not a milk drinker, therefore ¼ cup of the Skinny Jane Chocolate Skinny Blend was mixed with eight ounces of cold water. Chocolate is Oma’s weakness, and the Skinny Jane Chocolate Skinny Blend shake gave off a delicious aroma! It was very easy to stir and mix. It also tasted great!

Oma continued to replace one meal a day with the shake. It was easy to do and tasted great. One day, the shake actually served as a snack.

Oma can report that after a week, an extra pound of weight was realized and that Skinny Jane Chocolate Skinny Blend is easy to use and very tasty. It also left me feeling full and satisfied.  However Oma did not notice a boost in metabolism.

Reef Indy’s First Day On The Jobsite

Every father and son deserve quality time together. Reef and his daddy never had any issues with bonding. Zack has been a “hands-on” father since the moment of Reef Indy’s birth.

March 16th was Reef’s first day on Dad’s jobsite. As you can see from photo’s below, Father and Son had a wonderful experience.

A father's influence on his son's personal development is often unseen but nonetheless real. The relationship a boy has with his father greatly shapes the man he will become in the future. 

Reef Indy is going to become a very talented, creative and kind man.

The Perfect Bib by Toppy Toddler
Review + Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. 


Perfect Bib was born when a parent wanted to make his life easier. T.J. Kendale, a father of two, was simply baffled when he found himself cleaning every time his son ate. He was busy and had things to do, places to go and people to see. Sound familiar? 

The ‘Perfect Bib by Toppy Toddler’ is both waterproof and easy to clean!

Surprisingly enough, bibs he found in stores really didn't work. Determined to find a solution to this all this cleaning, he marched into his bedroom and began using his T-Shirts to cover his son and the table. IT WORKED! For him, this was a game changer and since then, feeding his then, 18 month old son, became a breeze and a joyful experience - just how it's supposed to be.

Reef Indy stays clean as he eats in his Perfect Bib by Toppy Toddler.


Oma’s grandson, Reef Indy is just six months old but already expressing an interest in eating by himself. Oma knows that the ‘Perfect Bib by Toppy Toddler’ will help keep Oma’s kitchen tidy!

WEDDING DREAMS
A Motivational Photography Book
EBook Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


WEDDING DREAMS - A Motivational Photography Book by Suzy Liebermann


Reef Indy’s parent’s wedding is rapidly approaching. Swept up in all the hustle, bustle and excitement of this joyous occasion, Oma is always on the lookout for marriage related items. (just check out Oma’s Pewter with Ivory Inlay Enamel Cross Statue Review)

Therefore Oma was pleased to have the opportunity to review WEDDING DREAMS - A Motivational Photography Book by Suzy Liebermann 

WEDDING DREAMS is a MOTIVATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK created for your inspiration and daily meditation. Phantasize about a dream wedding while enjoying motivational quotes.

This book is just nineteen pages long. However, Oma found it very refreshing. While the photos and quotes are wedding oriented, they were also a wonderful reminder of what is important to maintaining a satisfying marriage.

“Marriage is like life itself a great,
wonderful adventure”


This book would make a fantastic wedding gift and also a great gift to give to someone for the marriage anniversary.

After rain - there is sunshine
after a tear - comes a smile
even if you have to wait

Look Who Is Six Months Old

What a joy and blessing Reef Indy is to his entire family.
Reef Indy is starting to sit up alone!

It is hard to believe that Reef Indy was born a half a year ago. In just six short months, Reef has started to learn how to communicate and is beginning to eat solid foods. He is starting to sit up alone and can get himself to his toys (although Oma would not call it “crawling” yet.) Reef is also able to entertain himself for longer periods of time. 

What a joy and blessing Reef Indy is to his entire family.

5:2 Diet And Training
February 2014 - Month 2

As promised, this is Oma’s monthly progress report regarding her advancement on the 5:2 diet. This month was not as successful as January.

Oma lost two (2) pounds
in the month of February 2014!


However, after checking back through the food journal – that two pound weight loss was truly a victory. First off – Oma was sick with a cold for two weeks. That made dieting and exercising almost impossible for half the month. Then after right after that, Oma and Opa spent four-fun-filled days in Laughlin, Nevada.

Habitually these typical ‘healthy life’ road blocks would have produced a weight gain. Therefore, Oma’s two-pound loss will be celebrated.

Oma started February by switching the 5:2 diet to the 4:3 version. However, due to the illness this test was not justly vetted. Therefore the 4:3 version of this intermittent fasting diet will be tested again in the future.

For March, the goals are to successfully maintain the 5:2 diet plan and return to a regular exercise program of a minimum of thirty minutes per day for at least four days. (Yes, Oma has been lagging in the exercise portion of this program )

See you next month with another '5:2 Diet with Training' update.

Cross Statue Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Oma and Opa are going to celebrate their fortieth marriage anniversary this August. You can imagine the hustle, bustle, and expense of planning the party.

We decided to do an Irish theme with a “ruby” accent. 


Pewter Color Cross Statue with Ivory Enamel Inlay

While everything appears to be a tad above budget; Oma was pleasantly surprised by the affordability of a ‘Pewter Color Cross Statue with Ivory Enamel Inlay’ which is to be used as a place setting decoration! When you purchase eleven or more; they are only $3.49 each.

The cross is both elegant and striking. The Classic Cross design will fit perfectly with our Irish Quaint theme! The Pewter Color Cross Statue with Ivory Enamel Inlay Religious Favor will make a lasting memento of our festive day.

This Cross would also be perfect as:
  • Christening favors
  • Baptism favors
  • Communion favors
  • Christian favors
  • Religious favors
  • Baby favors


This generously sized cross is made of a silver pewter colored poly resin with a detailed ivory inlaid enamel design, in a classic cross shape, accented with glistening rhinestones and cut out details for a dramatic effect, perched atop a base with elegant filigree patterned sides.

Size: 5" tall x 3 ½" wide x 1 ¼" deep

Details: Each cross religious favor comes in a textured silver gift box, wrapped and tied with a white satin ribbon and an attached cross themed "For You" tag.
