Review: NoOodle, The No Calorie Noodle
Reviewed by Heather Ashare, from Diets in Review. If you’re a pasta-loving, carb-watching health enthusiast, you’ve probably heard of or tried the Miracle Noodle, a zero-calorie noodle-like product that is made from the konjac plant. The plant is sometimes referred to as elephant yam, even though it is an entirely different plant from the orange tuber yam [...]

Review: Gardein Protein Buffalo Wings
I hate when someone tries to be who they are not. Don’t you? I also hate when food products try to be something they are not. But, along came Gardein buffalo wings (meat free) trying to be the old stand by pub dish. I just had to see if they would even come close the real [...]

SCAPE Athlete Sunblock Review
I would have to say that Summer is my favorite time of the year. I really do enjoy the long lazy unscheduled days when the kids are off school. Anything goes. Along with pesty bugs, sunscreen is BIG thing in our family that no body enjoys. So often it runs in their eyes and makes them sting [...]

Comparing the Toning Shoes..what shaping shoes should you buy?

MBT: The Anti Shoe Review
I got a new pair of MBTs* a few weeks ago and I’ve been putting them to the test in our toning shoe showdown. The MBT’s are heavier than your regular trainer but not excessively heavy or clunky. When I first put them on, the immediate sensation is that of rocking – you need to [...]

Review: Gym Workout Gear
I recently wrote a post about my favorite running gear. I would have to say I do love hitting the pavement and knocking back 5-6 miles. Such a great rush. But, most of the time I drive to the gym for my regular workout. A girl has got to pump her iron to stay in shape too. The latest items I [...]
