SpecialK #The Protein Effect

What is The Protein Effect?  Good question!  I have the answer too and it might surprise you!  Protein combined with fiber has been shown to make you feel full longer.  Experience The Protein Effect with the NEW Special K® Protein line. Each product has a unique combination of protein and fiber that helps satisfy hunger longer.  

I have know this about the protein-fiber combo for a while and I was excited to hear that Special K® created some special products based on this information.  I love the way they created a bunch of yummy snacks and meals to help you take advantage of the Protein Effect too! 

For example, the delicious, protein-packed Protein Plus breakfast cereal, you’ll be ready to power through any ol’ morning.Another option for busy days is the caramel peanut protein meal bar is a perfect combination of healthy and yummy to satisfy any hunger.Keep your taste buds happy with this not so average Cranberry Walnut protein meal bar, packed with protein and fiber.
 



You can satisfy hunger and fend off temptations anywhere with a perfectly portable Special K® Protein Shake in two delicious flavors. One of my tricks is to freeze it for about 20 minutes so it is like a yummy slushy shake!

FeverAll Acetaminophen Giftpack Christmas Giveaway

How exciting is it to finally see that your baby is getting teeth? It is wonderful until you see that they can get so uncomfortable and cranky!  A great way to be prepared for this exciting milestone is to keep FeverAll® Infants’ Strength (80 mg of acetaminophen) in the house!   I always like to be prepared and made sure I had a good supply even before my baby was six months. When they are so tiny it is much easier to administer FeverAll®Acetaminophen Suppositories.  FeverAll® is a great alternative to oral acetaminophen for temporary pain relief and fever reduction you can be confident since the dosing is so easy every time too.

Remember that with FeverAll® Infants’ Strength Suppositories on hand, caregivers can be ready to relieve their infant’s fever and pain at any time, anywhere. They are even easy to pop into your diaper bag in case of emergency! Easy-to-use suppositories ensure babies receive the recommended 80 mg dose of acetaminophen every time so no worries Mommy.

A few key reasons why you really should have FeverAll®  in your medicine cabinet:

1.  Benzocaine teething gels are a huge no-no!  Earlier this year the FDA advised against using teething medicine containing benzocaine commonly found in teething gels.  Acetaminophen is safe when used as directed and is commonly recommended by pediatricians as a temporary pain reliever for teething.   Always check with your own pediatrician for further instruction. 

2.  As a parent, you know you need to expect the unexpected! With FeverAll®, you are ready for any pain issues with your child....you can feel confident about relieving pain temporarily or reducing fever even if they can't swallow liquids due to fussiness, vomiting, spitting up or spitting out.

3. FeverAll® is trustedIt's an Official Recommended Product of "MommyMD Guides"  and parents and healthcare providers have relied on the accuracy and easy to use dosing with FeverAll® for more than 30 YEARS to temporarily relieve pain and reduce fever.

4.  There's nothing else like it:  FeverAll® is the top national brand of acetaminophen the suppository form and FeverAll® Infants Strength (80mg) is the ONLY acetaminophen suppository approved for infants as young as six months!

You can find FeverAll® everywhere including CVS, RiteAid, Walgreens and Walmart. It retails for about $7.00 for a package of 6 suppositories.  There are even three strengths ranging from infants to children's and Jr. Strength for kids up to age 12.  You can learn more about FeverAll®on their own website and on their Facebook community.

BrandX on FX Crowdtap Party

Congratulations. You’ve been selected to host a BrandX viewing party.  Now, this was super-exciting news!  What could be a more fun way to start a day?  I was lucky enough to be chosen to host a Brand X party through my association with Crowdtap.  Russell Brand is hilarious and crazy and that is a pefect combination for a party in my mind!

Brand X on FX invited me and your friends to be a part of BrandX’s audience on October11th at 11pm. So I set up my party for everyone to arrive at about 8:30pm or so. We got  to share your own crazy and unfiltered opinions on the topics covered in the BrandX show.  Okay, I admit it...we are not as crazy as Russell Brand but we still could enjoy and live vicariously through his escapades.  Every episode of BrandX is a totally interactive experience that relies on real life personal stories and even just everyday, ordinary experiences from the audience. We were able to contribute to the conversation and it was a lot of fun.

I received a great kit to help set up my party and get everybody familiar with the show and Russell Brand including:

*Info about Russell Brand and the new season of BrandX
*A party planning guide to help us really enjoy the sho
*Interactive activities & challenges designed to recreate a live BrandX audience
*A MASSIVE stash of exclusive videos and some crazy behind-the-scene looks at BrandX

I made some great snacks including my super-delish homemade apple pie, we had some wine, plenty of Keurig Kcups and some yummy cookies. We laughed a lot and I was able to tweet live during the party. You should check out BrandX on FX....I think you will really love it!  You can find out more by checking out the BrandX social networks @BRANDXONFX  and on Facebook.
