Vidacup Coffee Review

I was given the opportunity to review +Vidacup instant coffee recently and I have to admit that it was pretty darned good. I have never tried instant before because everyone is always telling me how awful it is but I beg to difference.

I reviewed their Ageless Brew and Mo-Joe Gourmet.

Most people cannot start their day without their morning cup of coffee. Mo-Joe gives you more of what you'd expect from that first cup; more energy, awareness, focus, and mental clarity. Mo-Joe will awaken your senses with its deep, dark roasted aroma and jump-start your day with our high-impact nutritional ingredients including our organic H1X1 Agaricus Blazei Super Concentrate. Replace your morning coffee with supercharged Mo-Joe. Start your day with a Cup of Life. Mo-Joe proprietary blend includes: H1X1 Super Concentrate Agaricus Blazei, Ginko Biloba, Gotu Kola, Bacopa Monnieri, Green Tea Extract.

All natural low calorie latte Imagine a coffee that helps you to look and feel rejuvenated. Ageless Brew is a creamy, slightly sweet, low calorie latte that can do just that. Our gourmet coffee is infused with age-defying ingredients including our organic H1X1 Super Concentrate Agaricus Blazei. This latte will please your senses and your body inside and out. Ageless Brew is truly a Cup of Life. Ageless Brew proprietary blend includes: H1X1 Super Concentrate Agaricus Blazei, Grape Seed Extract, Extramel, Resveratrol.

Now, the Mo-Joe is a Gourmet coffee and is only 10 calories per cup and has a great smooth taste. The Ageless Brew is an all natural low calorie latte which is what I was really eager to try since I am trying to continue to lose weight. It also has a great flavor and only has 45 calories per cup. I was hoping for a bit sweeter latte but I still had to add a little sugar. My problem is I love my coffee super sweet. I know, I know, that is not how you are suppose to drink coffee but that is the only way I like it. People tell me I ruin the coffee with all that sugar but that is why I drink that cup and not them, right?

I am definitely looking forward to drinking up the rest of my samples. If you are a person who drinks coffee a cup at a time I definitely recommend Vitacup.

Put Your Keys Beside Your Bed At Night

Put your car keys beside your bed at night.

Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market..., everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.

This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage.

If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds, all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. 

Please pass this on even IF you've read it before. It's a reminder. I read this on a post on Facebook and thought that is was a great idea and thought I would share with all my readers.

Pork Be Inspired Gets Two Thumbs Up At My House!!

 

Have I said lately how much I love being a BzzAgent and sharing my thoughts about products with all my readers? Well in case you have missed it, I love it! I love trying the products that they permit me to apart of the campaigns of. And I love sharing my thoughts on said products. I share my thoughts with you readers, my friends and my family, and trust me I share the positive and negative thoughts both. Not all my reviews have been positive.

Now, on to this Kroger, Pork Be Inspired campaign. This is a very positive review. My thoughts are positive on this one on all aspects! My hubby is not much of a pork eater (he says it is like chicken and he does not care for that either). Any how, I used my coupon for $5.00 off from the campaign to get some thin center cut pork chops to fix for dinner last night, which is one of my favorite cuts of pork besides BBQ ribs and they didn't have any of those or course. Then I went through some recipes from Pork Be inspired on Pinterest and chose to fix two different kinds of chops. I chose the Americas Favorite Pork Chops (right) and the Paprika Pork Chops (left).

I have to admit that I loved the Paprika pork chops and my husband liked them both but he preferred the American's Favorite Pork Chop better. You can find the recipes to both of these pork chops by clicking on the recipe titles above my picture.

And just a little knowledge for you all: 

Don't overcook your pork!

Both the USDA and the National Pork Board recommend using a digital cooking thermometer to get an accurate internal temperature reading for your pork. While 145° F (with a three-minute rest time) is where you want to be for chops, tenderloin and roasts, ground pork should always be cooked to 160° F and pre-cooked ham can be reheated to 140° F.

November is National Family Caregivers Month

November is National Family Caregivers Month

Taking care of a loved one starts with taking care of yourself.

More than 65 million Americans are currently providing care for a loved one. ¹ But, sometimes caregivers neglect an important step: taking care of themselves. Protecting the caregiver's own well being, both mentally and physically, is an incredibly important step in the caring process. So in honor of National Family Caregivers and National Hospice Month, UnitedHealthcare has some steps to help make the transition to caregiver.

Get out and enjoy time together:
Go for a walk. Go to a movie. Feed the ducks at a park. Keeping active may relieve stress and can create positive new memories.

Eat Healthy:
A healthy diet can keep you sharp. Stock up on healthy snacks and prepare your own meals. Here are some simple (and delicious) recipes for you and your loved one.

 

• Chicken Minestrone Soup
• Slow Cooker Hearty Pork Stew
• Easy Chicken Pot Pie
• Pumpkin Smoothies
• Whole Grain Chocolate Chip Cookies

Educate yourself and your family: 
Scarlet Says Goodbye Sweepstakes 
Particularly for those dealing with advanced illness or end-of-life situations, it's important to prepare yourself and your children. A new activity book, Scarlet Says Goodbye, is one tool to help educate young children with a loved one entering hospice care. The book can be downloaded for free at: www.ScarletSaysGoodBye.com.

Want a chance to win a free copy of Scarlet Says Goodbye? Enter the drawing by posting about National Family Caregivers Month and submitting the link through your personal MyBlogSpark page.

 

Don't be afraid to ask for help:
UnitedHealthcare understands that being a caregiver can be an emotionally and financially exhausting experience. UnitedHealthcare designed Solutions for Caregivers* specifically to help alleviate both of these issues. Visit www.WhatIsSolutionsForCaregivers.com to learn about all the resources available, including other great recipes and aid in developing a care plan, built specifically for your situation.
