Buster Brown Wearever Socks



Oma found the Wearever Socks by Buster Brown well-made and comfortable. The only negative was that they did not stay-up quite as well as Oma expected. However, the socks were perfect under Oma’s jeans and did not bind nor cause skin irritation. The best part of this product is that the socks did not leave any marks or "dents" on Oma’s legs; even after wearing them all day.



Win your own Wearever Socks by Buster Brown – (ARV $15.00).

As a blogger, integrity is one of the most valuable commodities Oma possesses. Therefore, reviews will contain both positive and negative aspects as is appropriate. To put it in a simpler manner, this review is meant to help my readers (editorial) more than to help a brand (advertising).

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

5:2 And Training Book
Review and Giveaway

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

Winners:   Kathy N. S. and Laura F. 


5:2 And Training by Niclas Brunnegård

Just in time to keep that New Year’s resolution you made to lose weight or live a healthier lifestyle- the 5:2 is a diet where you “fast” for 2 days and eat normally for 5 days; this is called “intermittent fasting” or sometimes “calorie restriction”. On a fasting day, you do get to eat, but within a restricted calorie amount.

Women should get about 500 calories and men about 600. Don’t worry! This seems like a small amount but I can attest that it is doable. You don’t need to fast for more than 2 days. 2 days is plenty. The next 5 days are all yours!

Product Description


Learn the benefits of the 5:2 Diet with exercise advice designed to make you feel good. Live Longer! Live Healthier!

Niclas Brunnegård will teach to live longer and live healthier! This eBook will teach you the benefits of the 5:2 Diet along with exercise programs and meal plans to help reach your goals of living healthier and stronger.

The meal plans give you the proper distribution of proteins and nutrients for fasting days. The exercise programs show you a Niclas Brunngård developed 5:2 workout through high-intensity movements that benefit and compliment the 5:2 diet with links to video tutorials by his personal trainer, Michael Hansson Sjöö, and specially designed web apps.

Oma's Review


This book was enjoyably easy to read and understand. What Oma love about this book is that the 5:2 Diet is not only about weight loss; it is about approved health.

Oma has been on this diet for a week. It is not easy, but appears to be a regimen that the average person can sustain over the necessary duration to witness one’s goal. There was even a special section in this eBook for us senior citizens!

Happy to report that in the first week, Oma lost a pound on the 5:2 Diet. A pound a week may not be earth shattering; however is a healthy and realistic weight loss strategy.

However, even better than the weight loss is that fact that the 5:2 Diet made Oma feel healthier and more energetic!

Be forewarned – the exercises are not easy and left Oma a tad sore. However, Oma found them to be challenging and enjoyed following the training routine. Oma needs to remain healthy in order to run after Reef Indy.

(Oma will continue to follow the 5:2 Diet for the month of January and then report the results via this blog.)
