Dr. Hana's Nasopure Nasal Wash System Review #Nasopure



Since 2001, Dr. Hana’s has been committed to keeping the world healthy one nose at a time. Through their comfortable, efficient design and carefully crafted salt mixture, their nasal wash systems have helped tens of thousands maintain nasal and sinus health naturally.

Dr. Hana's Nasopure® Nasal Wash System allows for a neutral head and neck position while washing and easy control of pressure and solution flow.

Nasopure is 100% natural - no other additives, perfumes or ingredients. The bottle is BPA free and dishwasher safe, too

Oma first felt that nasal irrigation sounded much like a useless fad. However, after reading how Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of "The Dr. Oz Show," recommended the procedure, Oma was anxious to give it a go. Honestly, it was a bit difficult for me to get the hang of. However, after several attempts to achieve the correct angle, the Dr. Hana's Nasopure Nasal Wash System helped clear my sinus and allowed for less restricted breathing. I like that you can use it in the shower.  The Nasopure Sampler Kit contains an eight ounce Nasopure patented BPA free bottle, 4 buffered salt packets & detailed instructions.

Common health problems that can be helped by nasal washing include:
  • Allergies
  • Asthma

  • Post Nasal Drip

Rear View Monitor Mirror Review #monitormirror




When Oma  first open my package, the Rear View Monitor Mirror was very disappointing. It appeared to be very scratched. However, after a bit of sleuthing, Oma figured out that she had forgotten to remove the mirror’s protective covering. 

The product is a very light-weight mirror that easily sit on top of flat screen monitors. It has a very simply but functional design that provides a view of the entire room behind me.

Catherine Shelton
Loving devotedly Caring Deeply

A couple of months ago, we attended the funeral of the mother of a longtime friend. We did not know "YiaYia*” well; just a handful of encounters during the years. Nevertheless, we quickly recognized her as a classy lady whose kindness shone like a bright crisp morning sun.

Catherine Shelton graced the earth for eighty-six years at the time of her passing.

November 25, 1927 -September 7, 2014

Loving devotedly
Caring Deeply
Living Life in the most
Beautiful way
A life that will never be
Forgotten.

YiaYia was a beautiful lady inside and out. She touched lives in a way that made each and every person she came in contact with feel as though they were the most important person on earth. Oma and Opa experienced this first-hand at our initial introduction.

This matriarch lived life in the most beautiful way and was one of the most gracious ladies you could ever meet...she loved to entertain and was an amazing cook. She did everything with flair all her own. Always the caregiver, she was generous to a fault...she helped everyone, and even at the end she wanted to know what she could do for everyone.

Catherine was everyone's friend...she never met a stranger, never passed by anyone without a cheerful hello and a beautiful smile, and she cooed over any child she saw. While her greatest passion, family, was clear, we never realized that her close second was dance.

At YiaYia’s Celebration of Life at held at St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral,  Oma and Opa were enthralled to discover Ms. Shelton’s yesteryears of dance. Catherine loved to dance and competed in many ballroom dance competitions, often winning the coveted prize. Whenever she was at a Greek function that involved dancing, everyone always wanted her to lead, because she did it best...she could dip like no one else!

At the festal memorial, Oma heard stories regaling how YiaYia would often practice and dance with her beloved little brother.

YiaYia’s brother George, who was in attendance, grew up to become a well-respected American dancer and singer.

He is best known for his Academy Award-winning performance in the film version of West Side Story as Bernardo, the leader of the Sharks gang!


Dearest, sweet, darling, and most amazing sister Catherine. You're the Ginger Rogers of my world. I have always loved you, love you now, and will love you forever! Let's keep dancing!!! George Chakiris.

Followers of the Greek Orthodox religion believe in eternal life. Thus the church strongly emphasizes a positive outcome in death — that the deceased is alive with God. While death is the separation of the soul (the spiritual dimension of each person) from the body (the physical dimension), the physical body will be reunited with the soul at the Last Judgement.

Catherine “YiaYia” Sheldon’s giving nature and life experience knew no boundaries. Oma and Opa were honored to have enjoyed her and positively benefited from her bountiful earthly essence.


*   *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *


This post is part of a series that will be dedicated to the unique people, Oma (or her alias NASCAR Race Mom) has had the honor of meeting and/or interacting with in her stimulating life’s journey.


*"YiaYia" is the Greek word for Grandmother.

* A milliampere hour (mAh) is 1000th of an ampere hour ( Ah ). Both measures are commonly used to describe the energy charge that a battery will hold and how long a device will run before the battery needs recharging. An ampere hour (abbreviated Ah, or sometimes amp hour) is the amount of energy charge in a battery that will allow one ampere of current to flow for one hour.

Oma and Opa - #WeHeartBeijing

Oma and Opa are trying to win a 10-day free trip to Beijing for two people!
Please leave a comment after reading our entry below.


My travel buddy and I have, coincidentally, been married for forty years. Our diverse voyages during our adventurous and assorted experiences, feature knowledge and learning at the helm. Paul and I should be selected as one of the #WeHeartBeijing campaign winners for several reasons.

First and foremost, Paul and I are fun yet hardworking citizens who love to travel and discover new places. We have never visited Beijing. However, we are anxious to inspect the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Temple of Heaven! Of course, the Great Wall will provide us with the perfect opportunity for a photographic hike! 

#WeHeartBeijing would be the grand topper to our celebration of forty years of love and devotion. Just like the Beijing Opera, as a team, we have passed the challenges of time; emerging stronger and more melodious. 

Additionally, as #WeHeartBeijing ambassadors, Paul and I would share every moment of our Beijing exploration with our friends and family utilizing our blog and social media interactions (via Blogster, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr and Twitter) – the home-bound fans will all but smell our wonderment at tasting Beijing duck for the first time! 

Beijing is an energetic fusion of antiquity and modernity – just as my husband and I.  Paul and I cannot wait to rent a bicycle and discover some of the latest preserved hutongs as #WeHeartBeijing!

It was difficult sorting through past adventure photos and only selecting a favorite ten!

The Ultimate Travel Pillow Review #ultimatetravelpillow


The AirComfy Travel Pillow

AirComfy Travel products help make packing easier, lighter, and more comfortable! After all, travel should be enjoyable! The AirComfy Travel Pillow is a packable, lightweight neck and lumbar pillow that promotes happy and comfortable travel.

The unique, low-profile shape of their pillow cradles the arch in your neck. It provides ample support right where you need it. It only weighs 6.2 ounces, and it is very compact. It is easy to inflate when you need it.

I love the clip that allows you the option of clipping the pillow to the outside of one of your travel bags or backpack. How very convenient!

The AirComfy Travel Pillow


I also use this pillow on my office chair. It doubles as a back pillow and provides lumbar support.




The Ultimate Travel Pillow


Product Description



RELAX UPRIGHT COMFORTABLY - Our superior design keeps your head upright, preventing unpleasant kinks and strains caused by tilting your neck to the side. This low-profile support makes it ideal for use as a neck pillow for sleeping on the go.

    The AirComfy Travel Pillow
  • ATTACH IT TO HEADREST - Our elastic band holds the neck pillow in place, so you can move around without losing that comfortable placement. It is ideal for airplanes or as an everyday car pillow-providing you more support than a standard headrest.
  • PACKS FOR TRAVEL - Weighing less than half a pound, you won't have to worry about a heavy pillow that takes up too much space. This inflatable pillow compresses into an enclosed packsack, and can clip onto your carryon using the attached carabiner.
  • ADJUST THE SIZE - Everyone's different, so we've made our pillow adjustable to your personal preference! Open the air valve to allow it to self-inflate, and if desired you can manually inflate it to be firmer or release air to make it softer. Our luxurious interior foam gives you support without the bouncy, hollow feeling you get from some inflatable pillows.
  • LUMBAR BACK PILLOW - Have you ever been on a plane or long road trip, and your back starts to ache from lack of support from the lower seat back? You can also use your AirComfy as a lumbar pillow and simply adjust it to provide the lower back support you need!
