Kashi TLC Original 7 Grain Pita Crisps Review

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened my mail box and found a whole full size box of Kashi Pita Crisps waiting for me to try. A great big thank you to Kashi for sending me my sample and coupons to enjoy! I couldn't wait to snack on them, knowing that they are free of hydrogenated oils, artificial ingredients and cholesterol snacking has become a guilt-less pleasure. These are great alone, this is how my daughter enjoyed them or paired with a great dip. I dipped them in Otria Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip. It was absolutely delicious, and the sea salt wasn't an overpowering "salty" taste, it had the perfect amount.

"Delicious blend of 7 whole grains, cracked wheat, berries, with a sprinkling of sea salt"

The crisps come in two flavors: Original 7 Grain with Sea Salt or Savory Salsa.

For more information and for great dip recipes visit Kashi: TLC Pita Crisps

Something Different

OMGEEEEEEEE, it is hot out there. I decided to start my day early which is 9:00am for me and venture out to get my exercise in before it got even hotter. I usually walk for about an hour, mixing it up with running but today I did it a little differently.

I saw this article in an old Prevention magazine that I didn't read, from October 2009 and since it's summer I'm catching up! The title was "Walk Off 2 sizes in 6 weeks". The routine keeps your heart rate elevated to burn maximum calories while helping improve strength, balance and flexibility. It cardio portion included:

• a warm up of walking at a brisk pace,
  
• high knees,
  
• brisk walking again
  
• "frankenstein walk,
  
• more brisk walking,
  
• walking lunges (which I LOVE),
  
• traveling squats,
  

• more brisk walking
  
• skipping (I probably looked like a goof ball)

• backpeddling,
• crossovers
  
• more brisk walking
• shuffles
  

I didn't do it exactly since I did it from memory rather than having the paper in hand and forgot the backpedal and shuffles. It was an awesome routine, something different to make it enjoyable and boy did I sweat. The article also had a strength exercise which I didn't do, since I was already a ball of sweat and couldn't function anymore. I will work on some yoga later today!

What exercises do you do to make exercises more enjoyable and less a chore?

Downy Unstoppables Review

Downy Unstopables is an in wash scent booster. It goes directly into the washer to give a boost of fresh scent.

You toss a little or a LOT (dispenser provided in cap) at the beginning of your load directly in the washer.

Do not put in your liquid dispenser or dryer

safe for all colors, fabrics and loads

great for active wear and towels

High Efficiency compatible

can be used with or without fabric softner

I received a full size sample of the "Fresh" Downy Unstopables from vocalpoint. The "Fresh" scent is just that fresh, it smells very good. I was getting ready to wash my dog's bed and decided to use this to "freshen it up" and see how well it performs. After washing the bed I took a whiff and it smelled so good. It's been 2 weeks since using the product and decided to smell my dogs bed tonite, and it still has a slight fresh scent. I am thoroughly pleased with this product and definitely would use again.
