Ozeri Brezza III Dual Oscillating 10" High Velocity Desk and Table Fan


I am going to be ready when summer hits here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Next month month the calendar may say spring but we usually start getting into the 80's about mid month. I was sent a cool table top fan from Ozeri to review. The Ozeri Brezz III Dual Oscillating 10" High Velocity Desk and Table Fan is an awesome fan. This fan has a remote control to operate it and has  dual oscillating motors. 

So let me explain the cool features that this fan has. It is powered by an ultra-quiet, 4-speed, dual oscillating motors with automatic vertical and horizontal motion. That means the fan rotates sideways and up and down at the same time. I played around with this feature and with the remote control, I was able to adjust the fan at the up and down angle I wanted. I then was able to lock the fan at that angle but still have the fan rotate left and right to cool the room. The up and down rotation moves the fan all the way to point to the ceiling. I don't think I would ever need that angle but the instructions said in the winter that angel is great for equilibrium temperature. You can also operate the fan with no oscillation.


The fan has a remote control to operate the fan or you can control in by the buttons on the fan. The Ozeri Brezza III has four different speeds and has a timer that operates up to 4 hours, in 1 hour increments. That means you can set the fan to run for a hour or two and shut itself off. This would be great at bedtime to cool you off to help you fall asleep but because you can set it to go off you wont be chilly later in the night.


The Ozeri Brezza III is a stylish fan that is ready to use out of the box. The fan is very durable and weighs only six pounds. The fan even has a handle to make transporting to another room easy. I can see myself using this fan in the living room by day and my bedroom by night. The Ozeri may be a table fan but with its up and down oscillation, you could set it on the floor and angle it to cool people sitting down.

I am going to love using this fan with the remote control. I wont have to get up to turn off the fan when I get chilly. This is one powerful fan and is going to keep me cool this summer. I placed the fan 12 feet away from me and I could still feel an awesome breeze.

For more information on the Ozeri Brezza III Dual Oscillating 10" High Velocity Desk and Table Fan and to purchase one go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I3RLCF4


I received the product mentioned above for free in order to review it. The opinions are all my own and not dissuaded by the company in any way.

How To Make A Creamy Iced Green Tea Latte


This page may contain affiliate links.

Looking for a delicious summer drink? You need to try an 
Iced Green Tea Latte. This creamy green tea drink is loaded with healthy antioxidants and is so good. It is also so easy to make.

 Iced green tea lattes are a popular item at coffee shops. While many people enjoy this delicious green drink for its taste, many more are ordering a green tea latte for the many health benefits that it offers. Green tea has a reputation for being a healthy drink. If you never had an iced green tea latte, then you are in for a surprise. This cold drink is refreshing and delicious.  

 Green tea lattes may be good for you, but did you know that the ones at the coffee shops are usually loaded with fat and sugar. I recently went to a website of my favorite coffee house to look at their drink menu. I was shocked to see that my favorite tall cold green tea drinks had 35-45 grams of sugar in them. That 35 grams of sugar is equal to about 9 teaspoons or 3 tablespoons of sugar. Yikes!

 I am going to show you how to make a healthy version of the cold green tea latte and it tastes just as good as the ones you buy. Mine will also save you money. Once you see how easy it is to make a cold green tea latte at home, you will never pay big bucks for one at the coffee shop again. If you have dairy issues or follow a vegan diet, then make sure to use non-dairy milk like almond milk. This drink is also great for a gluten-free diet.


So what is a green tea latte anyway? 

A green tea latte is simply a drink that is made with milk and matcha green tea powder. Green tea powder or Matcha is made from the leaves of green tea. Now we all know green tea is good for us, but Matcha is even better for us as it has way more antioxidants than a cup of brewed green tea. Matcha is the powerhouse of green tea. It is said that one teaspoon of Matcha equals ten cups of brewed green tea. Matcha has other great benefits too. This green powder enhances your mood, aids in concentration, boosts metabolism, and burns calories. The awesome thing is it does not give you the jitters like coffee, so it is a great alternative. Some people even say that matcha calms the mind and relaxes the body. I love that green tea powder has insoluble fibers, antioxidants, and L-Theanines in it. That is a whole lot of benefits for a small dose of green powder as you only need one teaspoon. I love using matcha daily for the brain, energy, and all those healthy antioxidants. I think it may be the reason my skin looks younger.



What is Matcha?

 Matcha is a green powder that is made from green tea leaves. One serving of powdered matcha green tea leaves is equal to 10 cups of green tea. Green tea has many health benefits due to its antioxidants. So the health benefits of using matcha in recipes are many as antioxidants are good for you. Green tea matcha can be used in many drinks and recipes, like this Iced Green Tea Latte. You can also add the green powder to a hot cup of water for a delicious warm drink.


Health Benefits of Matcha Green Tea Powder

Here is some info about Matcha Green Tea:

+ PROVIDES MILD STEADY ENERGY  – it acts both as a stimulant and a relaxant. This is ideal for focusing on whatever the day throws your way.

+ METABOLISM BOOSTER - Consuming matcha green tea can increase thermogenesis (the body’s own rate of burning calories) from a normal 8%-10% of daily energy expenditure to between 35% and 43% of daily energy expenditure.

+ IMPROVES SKIN HEALTH – Scientists have discovered that Matcha Green Tea helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays while improving blood flow and oxygen levels lifting the overall quality of the skin.

+ HAS UP TO 137x THE ANTIOXIDANTS OF BREWED GREEN TEA – Antioxidants are essential as you age to boost your body’s natural defenses against oxidation. Researchers have found that a high level of dietary antioxidants can prevent many age-related diseases.

Cold Green Tea Latte is
+ Creamy
+ Cold 
+ Delicious
+ Can be made Vegan
+ Healthy
+ Gluten-Free
+ Easy to make
+ Loaded with antioxidants


Ingredients needed for Iced Green Tea Latte 
+ Matcha Green Tea Powder - Culinary-grade matcha is best for this drink
+ Milk of your choice - I like to make mine with plant-based milk but you can use regular milk
+ Sweetener of your choice - I like using stevia but any sugar or sweetener will work
+ Ice Cubes

You can buy green tea matcha at local health food stores like Sprouts or online at Amazon



Common questions about Matcha green tea

+ Does Matcha have caffeine? ~ Yes, since Matcha is made from green tea leaves it does contain caffeine.

+ Is matcha green tea good for you? ~ Yes, matcha has many health benefits including boosting metabolism and being jam-packed with antioxidants.

+ Can you make a green tea latte with tea bags ~ No, green tea in tea bags is processed differently than matcha so you cannot just grind up the contents of a tea bag and use it instead of matcha powder.

+ Can I use the Matcha powder in a hot drink? ~ Yes, you can enjoy Matcha in a hot drink. Just stir a 1/2 teaspoon of Matcha powder into a glass of hot water. Add sweetener to taste. You can also make the above recipe warm, just omit the ice and use warm milk.


Other tips and tricks on this iced green tea latte recipe

+ You can use any type of milk in this recipe including cow’s milk, almond milk, soy milk, coconut, etc.

+ This recipe can be made vegan by using non-dairy milk and either maple syrup or agave sweetener instead of honey.

+ You can use flavored syrups to make different flavors like a caramel iced green tea latte

How To Get Viruses And Malware Off Your Computer

Is your computer running slow?


    As a blogger, my computer is very important for my job. If my computer does not run well, I can not do my job.  I have had problems with my computer in the past with a computer virus and malware getting on my computer. Thankfully, I was able to use my husband's computer to do research on to solve the problem of fixing my computer. So this experience has increased my knowledge of how to keep my computer safe from bugs and viruses. This information in my go-to whenever my computer is running slow. When my husband complains of computer problems, I always tell him to run these programs. 




Could it be a Virus?

 This past week my father-in-law clicked on something that introduced a virus into his computer. He did not realize that he had problems until his email sent all his contacts an email saying he was stranded in Ukraine and needed money. That was when my husband and I asked to look at his computer. We found that his computer was infected with malware and it was a bad one. Thankfully because I had a virus back in December I knew what to do. This below information cleaned up his computer without having to pay for someone to fix it.

How do I fix my computer?

 Most people are afraid of fixing a virus on their computer as they don't know what to do or what websites can be trusted. I once made the mistake of downloading what I thought was a program to help my computer and it instead introduced more problems into my computer. I have found a trusted site called http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ to download software to get a virus, malware and other junk off your computer. This is the website that fixed my computer in December and where I turned to fix my father-in law's computer. I had to download 3 programs to fix our computers.

Three programs to run to get a virus/malware off your computer

Step 1 disable the bug 
The first thing to do to get a virus off the computer is to disable the bug. I used a program called rkill. Go to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/ to download the free program. This program will terminate the virus so you can begin to clean your computer. Do not restart your computer after to program as that will turn the virus back on.

Step 2 remove the junk 
The next step is downloading a program called Junkware Removal Tool. Junkware Removal Tool is a security utility that searches for and removes common adware, toolbars, and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) from your computer.  A common tactic among freeware publishers is to offer their products for free, but bundle them with PUPs in order to earn revenue.  This tool will help you remove these types of programs. Go here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool/ to download this program.

Step 3 find and remove the viruses
The next step which will take the longest, depending on how much crap is on your computer, is called Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. This program will scan all your files on your computer and find viruses and then delete them. The first time you run the program it will take a long time but your later weekly scans will take under an hour. Malware Anti-Malware is a great program to run weekly on your computer to keep it safe from problems. Go here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/malwarebytes-anti-malware/ to download this program.

4. The last step is to restart your computer
The virus that was on my father-in-law's computer was a bad one and as when we went to download each program a new window opened up with a different fake program. So make sure you are downloading the correct program and if a different window with a program with a different name comes up just X it out. When we started the Rkill we had a program called RegClean Pro came up and my husband thought that was the program and started it but I quickly realized it was not and I Xed it out. I found a list of some fake virus remover software at wikipedia.org that you should check out.

  I hope my experience helps you to know how to fix your computer. Feel free to ask me questions and I will try my best to answer them. I can say with confidence my father-in-law's computer is fixed for now.

Computer still running slow?

 Another thing that could be making your computer run slow is temporary files. Most computers clear the temporary file folder but sometimes they do not get cleared. If you enjoy playing computer games, you might have temporary files that did not clear. My husband was complaining that his computer was slow and we did all of the above thinking that he had a virus. When the computer was still running slow, I did some searching for answers and discovered that his temporary file folder needed cleaning. That fixed his computer. To clean the temporary file folder, enter %temp% into your search bar on your taskbar. Then click on the %Temp % file folder and that will bring you to a list that you can delete the files by right clicking on them.



Update 
 Since introducing this information, I have downloaded a better virus protection program on my computer. My internet service provider provides my household with a Security program that you can purchase and this does a pretty good job of keeping my computer clean. I also installed a Smart Internet Firewall on my network for an added layer of protection. This Smart Firewall stops the connections to unsafe sites so my family can't go to bad sites on the internet.  When I look at the weekly report for my firewall, I am always amazed at the number of websites it has blocked. No system is 100% safe so if I do notice that my computer is running slow or not performing correctly, I will run all of the above programs. When my husband complains about his computer and askes me what the websites are that he needs to download, I just tell him to go to my website and search for Virus and that will lead him this post. You can also search for mom knows best virus and that will lead you to this post. I hope you never have to deal with a virus on your computer but if you do, these steps will take care of it. 


Has your computer ever had a virus?

Quick And Easy White Bean Chili

With a couple of ingredients, you can make dinner quickly


 Are you looking for an easy quick dinner idea? How about a recipe for dinner that uses a slow cooker? If you are like me, you like to plan ahead and have dinner ready before dinner time. That way you can be ahead of the dinner time madness and hungry kids. You will love this meatless recipe that uses frugal ingredients like beans and simple spices that you probably have in your pantry.


 Beans are a common ingredient in my pantry. I like to stock up on both canned beans and dried beans. The canned beans are great for last-minute dinners and the beans that are dried are an economical food choice for ingredients that are loaded with protein. Not only are beans a good source of protein, but they are also loaded with fiber and other nutritious vitamins. Beans are the perfect ingredients for meatless meals. Beans are vegan and plant-based and can be enjoyed on a gluten-free diet. Many vegetarian meals call for beans.

 Yesterday I needed something that was quick and easy to make for dinner. My husband invited some people over for dinner at the last minute and I did not have a clue of what to serve. We had people over the night before and I did not feel like cooking for guests again. That afternoon as I was reading Facebook, I came across a blog with a recipe for chicken burrito soup that looked awesome. I don't eat meat and did not have tortilla chips in the house so her recipe inspired me to make chili. This recipe reminded me of how easy it is to make chili in the slow cooker. To make chili in a slow cooker, just toss in a couple of ingredients and plug it in. I love that I can start my food in the morning on low or in the afternoon on high. The best part is dinner is ready at dinner time.

 My chili recipe uses canned beans but can use ones made from dried beans. I usually make beans in the slow cooker and then freeze them in 2 cup portions- keep reading until the end to get my recipe for cooking beans in the slow cooker. That way I have cooked beans that are ready to use in recipes. This easy recipe also uses salsa so it is a good way to use up that jar of salsa that is in your fridge. Any variety of salsa will work, hot or mild. Once the white bean chili is done, serve it in bowls with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and avocados. This recipe serves 4-6 people.


Quick And Easy White Bean Chili 

                         6 cups great northern beans or 3 cans
                         1 cup of salsa
                          2 cups chicken broth
                          1 cup of water
                         12-16 ounce bag of frozen corn
                        1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
                         1 teaspoon chili powder
                       
Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours. Serve with shredded cheddar cheese.




Slow Cooker Beans

Pour a package of dried beans in the slow cooker. Cover the beans with water, several inches above the beans. Cook on high for 6 hours. Drain the beans and rinse with cool water. Freeze the beans in 2 cup portions. I like to put the 2 cup bean portions into sandwich bags and then into a larger ziplock bag to make finding them easier in the freeze. I use this method for for all kinds of dried beans so I have a variety of beans in my freezer. Beans can be frozen for up to a year or longer.

Ozeri Earth Pan Review Update


I love doing reviews of products as I not only get to try new things but I get to help people know about the product before purchasing it. One product review that has been my favorite was the Ozeri Earth pan. I reviewed three different pans for Ozeri- Earth Green Textured Ceramic Non-stick Frying Pan, the Stainless Steel Earth Pan and the Ozeri Green Smooth Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan. When I was offered the first Ozeri pan to review, I was in the  process of returning a Calphalon pan that was under warranty to get a replacement. I decided to give the Ozeri pans a try before I returned the Calphalon pan. I have had the Ozeri pans for about 2 months and I enjoy using them so much that the Calphalon pan is still boxed up waiting to go to Fedex to be returned. I will save the shipping money for now and use my Ozeri pans.



Since I have three different Ozeri Earth pans in three different sizes 8,10, and 12 inches, they all get a lot of use for different cooking. My son loves to make eggs and grilled cheese for snacks and uses the 8" Earth Green Textured Ceramic Non-stick Frying Pan several times a week. I use the 10" Stainless Steel Earth Pan almost daily for cooking things like quesadillas, onions, eggs, and pancakes. The 12"Ozeri Green Smooth Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan gets used weekly for larger items like egg foo young and making eggs for breakfast burritos. 


The Ozeri Earth pans are all still in great shape and the non stick coating is holding up great. I love how easy the pans are to clean, I just let them cool down and rinse them in soapy water. The food never sticks to the pan so when I clean them, It just requires a quick wipe. I still love the way the pans look hanging on my pot rack, the green color is so cool and so is the silver.



So if you have been debating buying these pans because of negative reviews on Amazon, I can tell you my pans are doing great after 2 months of weekly use. 

Here are the links to get more info on the Ozeri pans




"These opinions are my own and I was sent the above mention pans several months ago to write previous blog posts. I was not require to write this follow up post."

M&M'S Are .20 Cents At Target


I love a great deal! I never pay full price for M&M'S. I got several packs of Valentines M&M's at Target today for 20 cents each. The Valentine candy at Target was 70% so the M&M's were .95 cents and I used a coupon that I printed from http://coupons.target.com/grocery-coupons for $1.50 off two M&M'S. 

The Valentine non food items were 90% off while Valentine food items were 70%. I also bought these items too.  There was plenty of candy and other items at my store. The Valentine's items will only be at this price for today and tomorrow. So if you need candy or other goodies get shopping. I buy the box Valentines for next year, as .30 is so much better than 3.00. I also freeze the candy for next year too. So what is your favorite M&M flavor? Now go to Target and get it for .20, dont forget to print the coupons.

Ozeri Tower Fan, with Micro-Blade Noise Reduction Technology 360 Oscillation


I love trying new products and got very excited when Ozeri asked me to review their Ozeri 360 Oscillation  Tower Fan, with Micro-Blade Noise Reduction Technology. I know what you are thinking, most of the USA is cold with snow so why am I talking about fans. I live in one of the lucky few states where we are having 70 degree weather and by next month I will need this fan. For the rest of you I am helping you think positive that spring and summer will be here soon. It won't be long until you are complaining that it is too hot and wish you has a fancy fan to cool you off. 


The Ozeri 360 Oscillation Tower Fan is a cool awesome fan that does a great job of keeping you cool. The Ozeri Tower fan oscillates at 60, 90, 120, and 360 degrees so you can keep the whole room cool. The fan cools the air with 3 whisper quiet speed settings( watch my video at the end) and comes with a remote control. You can control the fan while you are watching tv with a push of the button on the remote. The remote will be great when you are sleeping and want to turn the fan off. The Ozeri Tower fan also has a 8 hour timer that  can be programed in 30 minute increments and also features 3 preprogrammed airflow patterns designed to foster sleep, relaxation and comfort.  The multi-colored LCD displays all fan functions and the room temperature.



The Ozeri Tower Fan is very simple to operate. When the fan arrived all my boys were helping me explore how it works. My 5 year old was able to use the remote control and adjust the settings and air flow. When summer time arrives this tower fan will be great for sleeping on those hot nights. I can set the fan on high for a couple of hours and then have it auto adjust to low while I am sleeping as the outside temperature drops. This fan will also be great in the family room to keep everyone cool as I can adjust the degree of rotation. No more having to crowd around a fan. Living in the desert of New Mexico means no air conditioning in our house. We have swamp coolers which is fine for our dry heat but when we get out summer rain the swamp coolers do not work to cool the house. The Ozeri Tower fan will be great for those hot days. I can't wait until next month when we will be wearing shorts and I can use this awesome fan. My husband will love using the remote control to operate the fan. 

Here is my video show how quiet the Ozeri Tower fan is.




Summer will be here soon and you will be glad you bought this fan.
To purchase the Ozeri Tower Fan, with Micro-Blade Noise Reduction Technology 360 Oscillation go here:

Pure Body Naturals Vitamin-C Serum


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


 People are usually surprised when I tell them my age. My secret to young looking skin is eating healthy, running 5 miles a day, and using the proper beauty products. Try to guess how old I am by looking at this picture of me wearing no make up, I will give you the answer later. 


Pure Body Naturals Vitamin-C Serum was a product that I discovered and wanted to see how it works. After reading the above first slide about the product, I was interested in the great benefits to my skin. I already use a good anti-aging cream for my skin but the Pure Body Naturals Vitamin-C Serum sounded like a great addition to my skin care. I was sent a bottle of the Vitamin-C serum to try.

 It was very easy to apply both morning and night. I loved how one dropper was more than enough for my face. The product absorbed fast into my skin and was not sticky or greasy. After a week of using the Serum, I notice my skin felt tighter and less dry during the day.  I love that the serum can protect my skin from free radicals caused by sun damage if used in the AM. The Pure Body Naturals Vitamin-C Serum is to be used under your moisturizer. The benefits of the product are plenty and I will continue using Pure Body Naturals Vitamin-C Serum in addition to my moisturizer for the long term benefits of keeping my skin young looking.

Here is some other info about Pure Body Naturals Vitamin-C Serum from the manufacture:



Our Facial Serum Contains Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Suspended in a Concentrated base of Pure Vegan Hyaluronic Acid For Superior Anti Aging Effects.

-  Vitamin C helps smooth and firm skin and fade brown spots by inhibiting the free radicals that trigger wrinkling, sagging, and other aging changes. Apply Vitamin C in the morning,  to protect your skin from free radicals caused by sun damage.

- With bounds of studies singing its praise, Vitamin E is a skincare superstar. The vitamin has been proven to ease dryness and boosts skin’s UV defense.

- Hyaluronic acid, or sodium hyaluronate as it’s also known, has become a serious skincare staple. It’s the body’s own hydrating molecule, able to absorb up to 1000 times its own weight in water and responsible for keeping our skin plump, smooth and supple. Sadly, our natural levels deplete as we age, so fight off fine lines and a loss of skin tone with our latest Vitamin C Serum.

  • - 20% Vitamin C + E + Hyaluronic Acid Is The Absolute Highest Quality Vitamin C Serum Available

Majestical Jewelry Review


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




Majestical is a high fashion online only jewelry store specializing in handmade jewelry and statement pieces. I was sent the above earrings to do a review on. The earrings are from their fashion jewelry collection and are tear drop style. They are reasonably priced and will look great with any outfit. Majestical Jewelry  not only sells fashion jewelry but also gemstones and pearls. They have a wide variety to suit any budget and look. They also sell charms too. They offer free shipping on orders above $49.99! I love the way the earrings were packaged and they came with a bag to store them in.


Everyone loves jewelry and tomorrow is Valentines day. Drop some hints to your husband or boyfriend to shop at Majestical Jewelry. Go take a look and tell me what you would like to receive as a gift. The selection is awesome and I am sure you will find something.

Here are some of my favorites:
