Happy Birthday Mom

San Diego beaches are great in any season. Winter is often too chilly to get in the water, but a sunny winter day is still a good time to go for a waterfront walk, and winter Pacific storms sometimes bring sensational waves.

Only in San Diego can you celebrate your birthday with your family while enjoying the beach!

Fractionated Coconut Oil #Review

Coconut oil has long been used all over the world for its many therapeutic and other benefits to the skin. It has antiviral and antibacterial properties, a wonderful balance of saturated fats in its natural form and helps stimulate hair growth.

Many aromatherapy recipes use coconut oil for the various therapeutic benefits it offers. Fractionated coconut oil is a fraction of the coconut oil from which almost all the long chain triglycerides are removed, thus leaving mainly the medium-chain triglycerides and making it an absolutely saturated oil. This saturation gives it a very long shelf life and greatly increased stability. In addition, fractionating raises the comparative concentration of Capric acid and Caprylic acid, thus giving it more of antioxidant and disinfecting effect.

Oma loves the silky feel of Fractionated Coconut Oil, light and not greasy. It works wonderfully on both skin and hair. Fractionated Coconut Oil is so much easier to use than the regular solid coconut oil. Surprising, rubbing the oil into my underarms also works well as a natural deodorant. The lauric acid in coconut oil actually kills odor-causing bacteria.

Oma also loves that this product comes with a 100% money back guarantee. Fractionated Coconut Oil has a five-year shelf life; however, I am sure you will use it up way before that.

Note: This product is labeled for external use only.

BOLD Organics Rising Crust Pizzas/Sweepstakes Review #BOLDBIGGAME

As you all know, you are what you eat! Therefore, Oma’s family always tries to eat organically. However, we have been missing out on easy frozen pizza night. What a blessing when we were able to try and review BOLD Organics Rising Crust Pizzas!

BOLD Organics began with a single purpose in mind, to create the most delicious and healthy frozen pizza on the market. Today that vision is realized in a line of organic pizzas, gluten free pizzas, and gluten free-dairy free pizzas that are redefining just how good eating healthy can taste.

BOLD Organics Rising Crust Pizzas are the only Certified Organic and Non-GMO Verified frozen pizzas available. BOLD Organics Rising Crust Pizza boxes available at Kroger, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, and Ralphs stores nationwide. (Oma found hers at the local Jimbo’s Naturally (http://jimbos.com/our-stores-employment/escondido/)

The crusts are airy and crunchy, the sauce is a balance of sweet and spicy and the pizzas are topped with the highest quality ingredients including Organic Valley grass fed cheese and nitrate free meats. The resulting flavor and texture is superior to any other frozen pizza and many customers say the pizzas don't even taste like frozen pizzas but fresh pizzas from their local pizzeria!

The 9.5" pizzas weigh a substantial 15.25-15.5 ounces which serves two for dinner with a side salad or veggies. BOLD Organics Rising Crust Pizzas 4 flavors are available - Cheese, Pepperoni, Italian Sausage And Spinach Feta.

Oma is on a Gluten-Free diet and Opa is a vegetarian. Therefore the Cheese BOLD Organics Rising Crust Pizzas was perfect for us. We just preheated the oven, removed the pizza from the box, and baked it for about twenty minutes at 425 degrees. Oma and Opa were very pleased with the taste and texture.

Tootsie Roll Hot Cocoa Sampler and #Giveaway #TootsieRollHotCocoa

As America’s favorite chewy chocolate candy, the Tootsie Roll has remained unchanged since it was first introduced in New York City in 1896. Now, there’s another way to enjoy the perfectly chocolaty tastes from the entire Tootsie Roll candy line which include Junior mints, Charleston Chew, and Sugar Babies. Two Rivers has created a new line of creamy hot cocoas based on those iconic candy flavors in single serve cups so you can enjoy each of them, one hot and delicious cup at a time.

Do you say Hot Cocoa or Hot Chocolate? Anyway you say it; this warm beverage is just what you need on a cold bleak day. Oma does not drink hot chocolate a lot; however every now and then that childhood longing arises. Therefore Oma was thrilled when Two Rivers Coffee sent a 40 pack of these Tootsie Roll Hot Chocolate K-Cups Samples to review.

Oma does not have a K-Cup brewing machine. However you do not need one for these. Oma just poured the contents in a cup, added hot water, and stirred. 

I love the fact that these are all single servings and thereby will have a great shelf life! They were all tasty, but the Junior Mint flavor was my favorite! As I added the hot water, the aroma of mint took me back to the movies! 

Each single serving is 70 calories.

Tip: This cocoa pack is NOT COMPATIBLE with Keurig 2.0 machines.

It combines accuracy, durability, and convenience in one neat product and has an integrated SPO2 probe.

It is crafted of high quality material with a really fast response time read-out. The Oximeter features a five-second auto shutoff function and the device will automatically power off after inactivity. It also has a low battery level indicator.
