CSN stores review

Are you looking for new dining room furniture? Or are you just looking for new items to add to your dining room furniture?

When I moved into my new house 3 years I was blessed, having saved up enough to buy basic dining room furniture. I have been adding, little by little, pieces to make my home beautiful and my own. I was also blessed to have great friends who gave me lightly used items they no longer needed for me to start off in my new home with. One of the items I was given was a Cornelle dish set that I have used and used and used. I love these dishes.

Thanks to CSN Stores for given me the opportunity to review a product from their dining room furniture store. There were so many items to choose from their collection of dinnerware, table décor, or home accent collections also available.

I ended up finding this Corelle - Lifestyles Muse 16 Piece Dinnerware Set. There are so many pieces you will want to add to your cart. They have a variety of sets to choose from. No matter your family size, they have a set for you. I found a set that would go perfect in my home and for our family.


This is my dining room furniture before my makeover. Check out how beautiful my house looks.





It really makes a big difference at how my table looks. As I played around with the table and place settings I added some color to it. And here is how it looks now.





So if you are looking for new dining room furniture or just home accents to add to your home, I recommend you check out www.diningroomsdirect.com.

Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut Oil review

I have been trying to change my way of eating looking for healthier ways to cook. I want our family to be healthy. The food choices i make for my family can really make a difference. I am trying to teach my son healthy habits. I have made some bad choices and for that i have been been paying for by gaining weight that i cannot loose. I have been doing the crazy diets, and killed myself exercising. But have gained all the weight right back on, sometimes double.
So my cooking choices and food choices are going to change for a lifestyle change I am making for my family and our future.

Thanks to Tropical Traditions for sending me a sample of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin coconut oil and the book-"Virgin Coconut Oil: How it has changed people's lives and how it can change yours!"
What is coconut oil and what the heck does it do, are you asking? The coconut oil is organic. It is made from fresh coconuts in the Philippines. Watch this video...

The book is a great source filled with different uses for the coconut oil from cooking to home remedies. I like coconuts. When going home to my home country El Salvador the first thing I ask for is a fresh coconut. I really didn't think I could get fresher than it coming straight from the tree and being cut and handle right in front of you. I have tried many coconut products that loose the taste and when the taste is gone what's the point. But Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is 100% USDA organic and has all the taste it can possibly have. It is like if I got it straight off the tree myself. I used it to cook and the taste was great. It can be used to loose weight, on your hair and on your body. Since receiving it several weeks ago I have been amazed at how much of a difference it is making in my life, especially in my quest to loose weight.

The book includes:
Over 100 personal stories from people using Virgin Coconut Oil!
Over 85 previously unpublished foundational recipes for the Coconut Diet - ALL using some form of coconut: Virgin Coconut Oil, Coconut Cream Concentrate, or Coconut Flour.
* These foundational recipes concentrate on sauces, spreads, and vinaigrettes.
* Developed by a professional chef.
* You can easily add Virgin Coconut Oil into your diet.
* Gluten-free recipes using Coconut Flour.
Documented research showing why Virgin Coconut Oil has changed so many people’s lives.

Cystex® Review and Giveaway....

Have you ever heard of the term UTI or urinary tract infection?

I have. I have been a victim. A victim I say because those come out of know where. Here are the symptoms: pain when you urine, blood in your urine, urgency to want to urinate, and pain and discomfort of lower back and abdomen. Here is my disclosure I am not a doctor, nor do I claim to be one. What I can tell is my experiences? I tend to not go to the restroom as often as I should. I have gotten UTI's because of my bad habit. So because of this I have suffered. The worst UTI I remember was a couple of years ago. I woke up to use the restroom in the middle of the night. Let pause and tell you, I hate waking up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. Again but because of my bad habits I need to. I had been very tired this week, working alot not stopping for restroom breaks, and not waking up in the middle of the night. One night I went to the restroom and I could not urinate. Not because I didn't have to go but because it hurt. I was crying from the pain. I noticed my urine had blood in it. I woke my mother from the crying. She had to come and help me out of the restroom. I could not even stand. She took me to the emergency room. My diagnosis was UTI....severely ignored UTI. I was given medicine by the doctor but I was also told to purchase medicine over the counter for the pain. Oh by the way this over the counter medicine will change the color of your urine. Great thanks, as if I didn't have enough to worry about. Just imagine that, no need for me to elaborate. Needless to say because of my busy schedule, mom never has time to take care of herself, this wasn't my last UTI just my worst one. A myth: cranberry juice helps prevent UTI. Not, it can sometimes make things worse. Drink water every day. Water is your friend and it is good for you. Take care of yourselves ladies. It's your body. Your bodies give you signs for a reason. Listen to them if not we will suffer.

Thanks to Robin Leedy & Associates and Cystex® for providing me with a sample of Cystex® to review. I currently do not have a UTI and I hope not get any soon. Fingers crossed. But here are the facts I have learned. It is so much more than I have ever known before about UTIs.

THE FACTS-

Each year, UTIs account for more than 8.3 million doctors visits. Physician and pharmacist-recommended Cystex® Urinary Pain Relief Tablets is an over-the-counter (OTC) medication designed to help ease the pain and discomfort of UTIs. More uniquely, it is the only OTC UTI medication with an antibacterial agent that helps to contain the progression of the infection, as well.
The dual-action formula of Cystex® not only helps numb the pain and burning sensation with an analgesic, but it also contains the urinary antiseptic methenamine to help control the infection while you wait to see a physician. Cystex® will also not change the color of the urine as other OTC urinary pain products do.
Cystex® is available at drug stores nationwide at the suggested retail price of $9.25 for a package of 40 tablets and $15.95 for a 100-count package. It is also available online at www.cystex.com, www.drugstore.com and other online retailers.

Cystex® is working with Elizabeth Kavaler, M.D. for an online initiative on Cystex.com called “Cystex® Know Your Bladder Better” where women can directly connect with Dr. Kavaler, who is one of 500 female urologists in the United States specializing in female urinary tract issues and author of “A Seat on the Aisle, Please! The Essential Guide to Urinary Tract Problems in Women,” (Copernicus Books, 2006). Dr. Kavaler helped us produce a series of videos discussing various topics about urinary tract health including sex and UTIs, menopause and UTIs, UTI facts, squatting versus sitting on the toilet, and cranberries for UTI prevention.

Zhu Zhu Pets Party

Have your kids ever asked you for a pet?

My son begged and begged for a dog for years. So i tried to change his mind by getting him a fish. Well he mistakenly thought salt was food for the fish and the fish died. So again he remembered he wanted a dog. I told him once we got our own house we would get one. And we did. We have a dog named Chevy Rolet. Yes like the cars. Well it was fun at first but as time went on my son soon forgot about his dog. And now mom and dad have to take care of this big dog. Don't get me wrong I love our dog. But i didn't ask for a dog, or the extra responsibility.
Now my son has it in his head that he wants a hamster. Thanks to BSM/Media and MomSelect for providing my son Zhu Zhu pets and a complete habitrail for us to have a Zhu Zhu party. Let me tell you I didn't want to get my son a hamster because who was going to end up cleaning the hamster's house, and feed the hamster? You know the answer. And when he doesn't feel like having a pet hamster anymore who was going to take care of it? You know the answer. Zhu Zhu hamsters are perfect pets your kids will love. They can play with them for hours. They don't have to feed them or clean their houses. And when the playing is done, turn them off. It is that simple. I found that the Zhu Zhu pets were such a hit with all the kids from 3 years old to the adults. The Zhu Zhu hamsters are also cute. Little ones won't be scared of them.
Like I said your kids can get hooked on this Zhu Zhu hamsters. We put the playhouse together in our living room but ended up moving it to the gameroom so the kids would have more room to play with it. My son put the playhouse together. The kids walked in and were ready to get the party started. All the kids had seen the Zhu Zhu hamsters on tv and they had wanted one. The party was great. No-one wanted to go home. We had a Zhu Zhu --per time!!!

Check out how much fun our kiddos had at our Zhu Zhu Party!

Happy Grandparent's Day!!

Have you ever heard of Grandparent's Day? Have you ever celebrated this special day?

Grandparent's Day is a day to celebrate our grandparents. It is their holiday like Father's Day and Mother's Day.

I told myself when I started a family that I would make sure my kids spent plenty of time with their grandparents. When I had my son, my mom was going through a hard time. But she said my son brought happiness to her. I stayed with my mother for a long time trying to get on my feet. She too was a single mother. We helped each other. Through all those years my son and mother grew a relationship like no other. They are so close. I remember my son would wake up at 4 am and sit with my mom at the table having breakfast. She would have coffee and he would have chocolate milk. This summer my mom had to stay at home from work due to having surgery and my son stayed with her. He helped her through this hard time. He loves his grandma so much, he even stayed with her instead of going to summer camp. It was his choice. I had already signed him up and had everything taken care of, he backed out and decided his grandma needed him more. Their bond is so strong.

Live life to the fullest without regrets. Enjoy every moment as if it was your last moment. Live life, don't let life pass you by. Do today what you want to do and don't leave it for tomorrow. Take care of your loved ones. Show them you care. Hug your Grandparents today. Take them out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Give them a call. Drop by for a visit. Let them know they are special today and everyday.

So Happy Grandparent's Day to all of the Grandparents out there. A special shout out to my son's Grandparents:
