Seriously Good Cereal

3 Sisters Cereal 007Do your kids beg you for sugary big brand cereal after being bombarded by their commercials? I love how they spin it as “part of a healthy breakfast,” yeah, the unhealthy part. Sure, once in a while I give in and treat them to a box but our pantry is stocked with healthier alternatives. There really are several to choose from. My family loves a line of cereal sold exclusively at Whole Foods called Three Sisters. They do not use any partially hydrated oils, high fructose corn syrup, artificial preservatives, colors or flavors.  My husband says it’s even better than the unhealthy sugar laden brands!

My kid’s favorites are Cinnamon Sweets, their alternative for Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Marshmallow Oaties, their answer to Lucky Charms. In fact, the ‘oatie’ part is tastier than the non-marshmallow cereal in Lucky Charms. My youngest actually eats it rather than just picking out the marshmallows the way he does on the rare occasions he has Lucky Charms. Three Sisters offers several other varieties including four flavors of oatmeal.  The only con? It’s a bit pricey considering how much is in the bag. They use renewable wind energy in their production and the cereals come in a freshness saver bag, no box saves energy as well as a few trees. This eco girl loves that! Try them and let me know what you think.

Shake Your Tail Feather With BassBuds Earphones

Music makes the world go round, it's a necessity in life. It adds a fun vibe to whatever you're doing and just makes life happier. My taste is rather eclectic, you'll find all types of music on my iPod. Getting my groove on makes workout sessions, house cleaning and cooking dinner far more tolerable. My iPod is one of my prized possessions.When it's not blasting music from the dock, having the right ear phones is a must.reviews

I was given the opportunity to try out BassBuds high performance in ear headphones and became an instant fan. They work very well, the advanced chrystaltronics sound technology offers great quality, very clear. They have a hands free mic and MP3 controller. BassBuds are compatible with smartphones, have the ability to activate voice commands and come with 6 different sizes of ear buds so you'll find your perfect fit.

Workout Wear By Ellie

The other day I received a pretty package with a delightful surprise inside: fabulous workout clothes! I really needed some new clothes to work out in so lately I have been shopping around a lot and one thing I have found is that all workout wear is not created equally. They may look similar but they all fit differently, the quality varies as does the comfort. I am happy to be given the opportunity to discover Ellie. They offer fantastic workout wear.

I received a nice pair of pants along with a very cute top. The cut of the pants is great, they are super comfortable, have a slim little pocket where you can stash a key or iPod and they have just the right amount of lycra to hug you in all the right places. The band is woven so it’s not loose in the waist the way some other exercise pants are. The top is very pretty, has enough stretch for comfort and it has fun thumb holes to keep my hands warm while I jog in this cooler weather. It’s also cute enough that I could wear it while I’m running around town, in fact, this morning I jogged with a friend and the first thing she said was, “you look so pretty!” The fabric of both items is soft but still strong and durable. Ellie is every bit as good as anything I’ve owned and at affordable prices. Working out is a necessary evil, you may as well be dressed cute while you’re doing it! This would be a nice gift for the fitness lover in your life… (eh hem, hint, hint honey!)

They’re program is, as they call it, “easy peasy lemon squeezy”, and it really is: Take the quiz, sign up and boom, an awesome package arrives at your door each month with a hand picked outfit for you!

Every outfit is styled just for you by an Ellie expert. Each month you receive an outfit worth $150, but you pay just $49.95. You’re getting great, quality pieces for a fraction of the retail cost thanks to the relationships Ellie has built.  Ellie is not just another clothing company, but a lifestyle brand. Their blog is a great place to check out tips and tricks for healthy, delicious meals and at home workouts.

Take advantage of this, if you sign up for Ellie, you will receive a $15 Lululemon gift card, plus 25% off your first month subscription.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ellie. The opinions and text are all mine. Try it out and let me know what you think!

Use Me Organic Hair Care Review

I am a shampoo junky. I like to mix it up and have several different shampoos in the rotation. I know some say this doesn’t make your hair ‘perform’ better but I happen to think it does. Plus, I like variety.  My hair is long, thick and healthy but fine. It’s not frizzy but my ends can get frayed so it doesn’t always lay well. Thaaattt being said, I don’t always have to deal with serums and straighteners to get my hair to behave. Believe me, I am grateful. However, I do know my shampoo and conditioner because when I don’t use good products it shows and my hair drives me crazy.

I am happy to say that I found a fabulous hair care line. My hair was noticeably softer after using the Use Me cleasner and moisturizer, I love the way it feels and the best part is that it also behaved well. Some products make your hair soft but not very manageable, these don’t. They perform well, especially compared to many ‘eco-beauty’ products. They also smell gorgeous! My friend even said my hair looks super shiny. They call their shampoo & conditioners cleansers and moisturizers because they view them as skincare for your hair.

Their products are sold online and in several salons nationwide. They are very environmentally sound because you can refill them in any salon that carries them, reducing post-consumer waste. This eco-girl loves that! All of their cleansers, moisturizers, and styling aids are sulfate-free, paraben-free and vegan. They are packaged in recyclable BPA-free bottles—how many companies do that? Hardly any! You know how important it is to me to use personal care products that are free from harmful ingredients and the BPA-free bottles ~ huge bonus.

All the botanicals in their products are organic and the fragrance is completely from essential oils (lavender, rosemary, aloe, green tea, matricaria, shea butter, sunflower seed oil, etc).
Use Me is a member of 1% For the Planet, a global movement of companies that donates 1% of sales to environmental organizations. And they are made in the USA!
