The Blue Man Group Was An Awesome Show At Blogger Bash And A Giveaway

I went to New York last week for many blogging conferences. One of the conferences that I attended was Blogger Bash. The first day of the conference they treated us to own our private showing of The Blue Man Group. It was so awesome, we bloggers has the whole theater to ourselves. The Blue Man Group was a terrific show to see. Those Blue guys did a wonderful job of entertaining us. The show was very funny and the best part of the show was when they pulled a blogger out of the audience and included her in the act. The Blue guys came this close to choosing me, but I am thankful they did not, as that blogger had to go on stage with the Blue guys, something that would have been out of comfort zone. I highly recommend that you go see the Blue Man show.

I even got my picture taken with the Blue Men.

Enjoy some other pictures that were taken from other Blue Man Group performances.

CoffeeCrazy's Espresson Blend Makes A Great Cup Of Coffee

It is 6:30AM in the morning and I am on a flight to New York. I am on my way to enjoy a week of blogging conferences. I have been up since 3:30 AM and I am kind of tired. I am of course thinking of coffee. I really want/need a cup of coffee. I could get a cup of coffee on the plane, but I have no clue what brand of coffee they serve and I want a good cup of coffee. Sure, I know what you are thinking, coffee is coffee. Not to me. When I drink a cup of coffee I want it to taste good. I admit I am picky about my coffee. I like to savor my coffee, to me coffee is more than a drink, it is an experience. If my coffee does not have the taste I am looking for, I will not drink it.

I have discovered CoffeeCrazy Espresson Blend whole bean coffee, the other day, and my coffee experience has gone up a notch. This is not your average coffee, this is a 12 oz bag of Love. CoffeeCrazy is crazy about coffee and it shows when you take that first sip of coffee. Their coffee is not only super fresh but is organic, fair trade and a part of the rainforest alliance. I was sent a bag of their premier blend of whole bean coffee and once I opened the bag of coffee I knew by the great aroma that a great cup of coffee was going to be in my cup.

CoffeeCrazy’s organic espresso blend is super formulated with a secret combination that is intense, dark cocoa, dark brown sugar yet smooth on the palate. It tasted wonderful with milk and sugar and made a great cup of coffee. This great cup of coffee, in my opinion, comes from the fact that CoffeeCrazy sources the finest beans from around the world and it is also ranked one of the highest pure organic espresso blends. Their coffee is roasted in the Italian espresso tradition and consists of 4 different single origin coffees. One is Fair Trade certified organically grown from Central America. They combine that coffee with an organically grown African and 2 diverse organically grown South America beans to create a complex espresso that will be love at first sip. Their coffee is also non-GMO.

CoffeeCrazy Espresson blend is best as an espresson but also tastes great in a French press or any other way you choose to brew it. I like to brew my coffee in an espresso maker. I simply grind up these wonderful beans and brew it up. The aroma is awesome too while it is brewing. I like my coffee with milk and sugar. So why settle for average coffee when you can have a wonderful tasting cup of coffee. I can’t wait to get home to enjoy another cup of CoffeeCrazy coffee.

Check out this wonderful intense, dark cocoa, dark brown sugar espresso blend by clicking on the below link. Trust me you have to order a bag.

I Went To BlogHer And Gained More Than Swag With SlimQuick Pure Extra Strength Drink Mix

"Powered by BrandBacker"

I just returned from a great week of traveling to New York. I was attending some wonderful blogging conferences while I was in New York. In addition to the awesome swag that I received, I also gained some awesome information at this conferences. Sadly, I also gained something extra that I was not expecting. I gained some extra weight while I was in New York. The food at these conferences was awesome and I over indulged eating too much food. I also did not exercise for the whole week I was there. That is what led to me gaining an extra 5 pounds. I know what you are thinking, it is only 5 pounds. Those 5 pounds that I gained are making my clothes tight and uncomfortable. I want to be able to lose those pesky 5 pounds. Right now my life is busy and crazy. Since I took a week off work to attend these conferences, I am now playing catch up with work, in addition to taking care of my family. I met many wonderful companies at the conferences that I want to work with so I now have the additional work of networking with them. All this work can be stressful to me and might make loosing those 5 pounds hard. I need help losing weight!

When I opened up my packages today I found a box of SlimQuick Pure Extra Strength Drink Mix in a mixed berry flavor. I read the box and discovered that this drink mix has natural ingredients in that will help me to lose weight 3X more than just dieting alone. This 0 calorie drink is not a magic potion, I still have to eat healthy, exercise and watch my calories, but it will help me with loosing the weight. Here is some ways SlimQuick works to help me lose weight.

SLIMQUICK Pure works to
-Increase Metabolism
-Reduce Appetite
-Boost Energy
-Reduce Excess Water
-Support Hormones
-Reduce Stress

So I had to see how SlimQuick tasted. If a product does not taste good I am not going to use it. The taste was pretty good. It had a nice berry flavor to it and since it was being added to my water, I was able to adjust to my level of sweetness by adding more water. I really liked that this drink was made with natural ingredients like BioPure Green Tea( the fat-burning component), antioxidants, calcium, and vitamin D. There are no drugs in this drink to make me jittery. This drink is 100% good with nothing bad in it.

The first day of trying to lose those pounds, I mixed a packet SlimQuick with a bottle of water and drank it with breakfast and lunch. I noticed that day that I did not feel like snacking between meals and I felt like I had more energy when I went out for my morning walk. I also felt less stressed and was able to get some work done. I will continue to use SlimQuick along with eating healthy and going for daily walks until I finish up the box of 26 packets. I will let you know how my weight loss goes, maybe I might lose more than 5 pounds as I want to lose 10 pounds.

SweetLeaf® Water Drops™ Makes Water More Exciting

Summer is here and that means that I have to drink more water. I know water is the best way to hydrate your body but I get tired of plain old boring water. I just want something to drink with flavor but the problem is most drinks are loaded with sugar or if they are sugar-free then they are loaded with chemicals. I find it hard to drink enough water and sometimes have to force myself to drink water. So how I am going to keep hydrated when I get tired of drinking plain water?

I have found new natural fruit flavored water enhancer that is convenient, sugar-free and gluten-free. These drops also have no artificial ingredients in them. I love that I can add flavor to my water with a natural product that gets it sweetness from Stevia, a natural sweetener. The SweetLeaf® Water Drops™ come in a small bottle that fits in your pocket or purse. A couple of squirts gives your water a great taste and helps you drink more water. I did not find any bitterness or aftertaste when I placed the drops in my water.

These zero calories, zero carbs, and non-glycemic water drops come in 4 wonderful naturally fruit-flavored blends. As mom, I love that the drops are clear which means no artificial colors or dyes to stain my kids clothes. My favorite flavor is the Peach Mango and my boys love the Strawberry Kiwi. The Raspberry lemonade and Lemon Lime make my water taste good too. So whether you are watching your weight, avoiding sugar or diabetic these drops are the awesome way to flavor your water so you will want to drink more water.

My boys and I love taking these fruit flavored water drops with us when we go to the park. I find that my boys will drink more water when the water has flavor in it. When it is hot out I don’t want my boys getting dehydrated so I just let them squirt these yummy drops into their water bottles. My boys then guzzle down their bottle of water.

Check out the SweetLeaf® Water Drops™ website for more information on these yummy water drops. While you are there you can find out where to buy SweetLeaf® Water Drops™.
