Keep Warm

With growing girls we are always trying to find clothes that will grow with them. One of our favorite items are leggings. They are forgiving and can often be worn when they are a little bigger and then later when they fit just right and if you are frugal you can even make them into shorts when they become too short. 

These leggings from S.G Style really surprised me. They are sized at s/m in womens but they fit my 10 year old with room to grow and they also fit my 14 year old who is much taller perfectly. I love how they have a lining that gives extra warmth during the cold months. Great for wearing with your favorite sweater, or shirts, and just as well for exercises like running. 

These pants are 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex Fleece. My girls both say they are very comfortable. The S.G Style leggings are available at my affiliate link below.

Making a New Home

Having moved into a new home I was quick to pick up there had been a smoker here before. The smell just comes and goes and drives me nuts. I hate the smell, it makes me sick, have headaches, and really bothers my sleep. Just when I thought I couldn't stand it any longer we found my box of review items and quickly plugged in our Essential Oil Deffuser from Natrogix which has been a complete life saver. 

I love that this can stay off with no light, or you can have it on color change as it cycles through 7 colors, white, yellow, red, blue, green, orange,and purple, or you can pick which color is your favorite and keep it on a steady color. 

This diffuser takes 150 ml of water to work and has a auto shut off  for safety. It is a cool mist so you don't have to worry about hot liquids. We used Peppermint Essential Oil to give our new apartment a better smell overall. I love Essential Oil Diffusers for doing yoga, meditating, and even at bedtime to help with sleep. At bedtime we just put in a few drops of lavender essential oil and we are off to sleep in no time. 

The Natrogix Essential Oil Diffuser can be found at my affiliate link below.

7 Chakras

Having done yoga and meditation throughout my life thus far you would think I would be using incense on a normal keel, but alas I am allergic as in my throat closes up. I start having allergy symptoms just being around the unburned but once it is open aired or burned my body reacts in dangerous ways. 

My daughter uses incense for her meditation and when she was still home we tried different scents to see if there were any I could with stand, so far it is a no go, even with her door closed, window open, and being on the second floor I would have bad reactions. She now has her own place and is able to burn them at will, accept for when I am over then she can't use them. 

I do still have allergy symptoms while at her house with a sore throat but not a full blown attack which is nice since I do like to visit her as often as I can.

Now to the product itself. I love that the Chakra company took time to put these sets together for those who would like to meditate and see which of their chakras are strongest or even to strengthen them with just the right scent to help you achieve where you would like to be. For me my strongest is my Third Eye so the Cinnamon and Sage would be my pick but of course even though I can take these scents any other way when made into incense something happens which makes them cause me to have an allergic reaction. For me I just put some cinnamon and sage into a pot of water and simmer which works well for me.

With this set you get all 7 of the scents which are 1 - Root Chakra - Muladhara - Patchouli & Vetiver (Vetyver) 2 - Sacral Chakra - Svadhisthana - Ylang Ylang & Jasmine 3 - Solar Plexus Chakra - Manipura - Bergamot & Ginger 4 - Heart Chakra - Anahata - Sandalwood & Rose 5 - Throat Chakra - Vishuddha - Frankincense & Peppermint 6 - Third Eye Chakra - Ajna - Cinnamon & Sage 7 - Crown Chakra - Sahasrara - Frankincense & Myrrh & Lotus. for a total of 140 incense sticks which are 11 inches long and will burn up to 60 minutes each. They also include 1 wooden burner which are great if you are new to incense or would like to give as a gift. 

My daughter says that to keep them fresh she likes to keep them wrapped in between use. She also says to keep them away from pets because some pets might knock it over with their tails or even swat at the smoke when they are in use.

Cool relief fast

Ok so I don't workout all that much but when I do I really work up a sweat, and cooling down is a big way to keep feeling refreshed so you can workout longer. Having a cooling towel like this one from Furious Fitness is great to have on hand. You can use it for sports, exercise, work, or even on hot days when there is no air conditioner or fan in site. Also great for sunburns.

Just submerge in water, or even run under the tap, snap a few times and apply to area that needs to be cooled. This towel can be worn around neck, head, back, or even just used to wipe your face during and after exertion. 

Another great idea for this is for those who are going through menopause. I hear many older women who are going through it get hot flashes, well having this towel nearby might just cool them down during these very trying and uncomfortable times. 

I love to use this on hot nights when the power goes out to keep my family cool until the power is restored. I also like the included bag with clip so you can have it ready to use in a flash.

Keeping it COOL

Summer is coming and this a go to item for our family. We use these all year round for different activities but during the summer we find these especially useful for when the electric goes out on the hottest day and you can't sleep.

Just soak these with water, twist, snap, and place on your body to cool. Best places are back of neck, wrists, and back of knees. These are also great cooling down those who have fever or sun stroke. Also great for laying on sunburns.





Soft on skin, has 98% UV blocking rate 50+ UV protection index.

Most of the time these are used while exercising, yoga, pilates, bike riding, and walking in our family. I love that even if it is just sweat if you twist and snap it will still feel cool. A plus for those who may work outside in the heat all day long.

I love that they are two toned, but do wish they came in more feminine colors like pink and purple. My girls would be in love for sure.

Anti-Slip Yoga Pilates socks

* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.  

This is something I have needed. Until now I just had one pair so often the one pair were in the wash and I had to make due without a pair while doing yoga. These are great and keep me from slipping during exercise. I feel stable while doing poses. 

There are 4 colors with anti-slip bottoms. They are comfortable and stay put while providing just the right amount of support. These come up to your ankle area and are not no show socks. These are also great for using when you go to places that have jumpy house, or in our case trampoline parks. They give that extra security of not slipping. 

The #Aulexy anti-slip socks can be found at my affiliate link below. Note it says 5 pairs for some reason but you only get 4 pair. Not sure why it is stated like that. 

What Aulexy has to say about their product.

- PERFECT FOR YOGA, PILATES, BARRE, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR PRACTICE. PVC grip dots cover the entire foot for a safe and secure step during any workout. Heel tab design prevents sock from sliding down the heel when worn with shoes. Tired of slipping when practicing yoga? It is the Secret of Never Worrying about Losing Grip!

- SUPREME QUALITY WITH COMFORT AND BREATHABLE. These nonskid socks are soft, breathable and extremely durable. No more holes, shrinking or shedding! Natural cotton absorbs sweat, gives you ultimate comfort with less bulk and offers you barefoot feeling.

Specifically designed for Yoga and Pilates, it offers superb grip and traction on almost any surface, which results in better balance, stability and control during workout sessions.

Anti-Burst Yoga Fitness Ball

Everyone sees how this is blown up but I wanted to show you how it comes so you know what it will look like.

Love balls like this for their strength and of course the Anti Burst. I have one that I have had over a year. It takes what I dish out on top of the kids playing with it, being taken from one room to the other as well as up and down the stairs. I haven't even had to add more air to it.

With this ball from iTechor you get a foot pump which makes it super easy to blow the ball up. With others I was given a hand pump which works just takes more time to get the ball up and rolling.

This ball is great for exercise, yoga, after pregnancy, and of course for kids to play with. My ball gets exercise/yoga, and play from the kids an even 50/50.

Have Mat will Yoga

I have several yoga mats some thinner then this one made my Itechor and some that are thicker. This one is great because it comes with both a yoga mat strap and a yoga mat bag.

The included yoga mat bag is a much needed added bonus. The mat has bumpy surface on one side and smooth surface on the other. I happen to like to the bumpy surface on top for my yoga time.

The color of this mat stands out against my other mats so that I know which one I want to use on different surfaces around our home. I would love in the future to be able to actually go to a yoga class but until then it is just me and my girls.

This mat has a medium thickness which is very comfortable. Easy to roll up and attach strap or put in bag. Perfect for yoga away from home.

Yoga Blocks

I love these yoga blocks from Veda as well as the strap that comes with it. Yoga should never hurt and never force your body into a position that hurts. With these blocks and strap you can get your body into those harder poses slowly and in the right way so you don't hurt your body.

Great for when you want to reach the next level or do some poses you might not be able to obtain without either of these. Very easy to use. Search on the web and you can find out how to implement these into your yoga routine.

These capris come in several sizes and designs. These are great for yoga, pilates, running, exercise, or just doing errands. My daughter likes how these fit. She can toss them in the washer, dry them, and they are ready to wear again. She loves pink so the pink and white inlays are a great color contrast for your legs.

Clever Yoga BetterGrip Yoga Mat

My daughter sees me do Yoga and decided she would like to do it as well. She has been using a towel to do hers on but when I was given the opportunity to try out a yoga mat I knew that this would be for her.

She has this out almost every day she really hasn't grown tired of it yet. She watches a few programs on YouTube for kids yoga and really loves it.

They even do a bit of Yoga in her classroom which she was really excited to tell me about. She was super excited when the show she watches liked our tweet about her mat.

This mat comes in several bright colors, colors are true to website pictures, both sides are useable and is perfect for beginner or seasoned Yoga exercise. Great for palates and other floor exercises. I look forward to reviewing more products from this company in the future.



This Yoga Mat can be found on Amazon.



What Clever Yoga has to say about their product.

Are you tired of stinky, slippery and super heavy yoga mat?
Give Eco-friendly Clever Yoga mat a try. You will notice it is super lightweight with perfect cushion and thickness(6mm) which will be easy on your knees and elbows while you practice yoga, pilates or other mat exercises. It is so easy to carry around with less than 2lbs.
Since water-proof surface with closed-cell construction prevents moisture or germs from absorbing into the mat, your mat will not be stinky after your sweaty practice. You can easily wipe it clean with wet soft cloth or hose off the sweat at your wish.
Full Disclosure: Most of our customers use yoga towels when they practice hot yoga and sweat heavily because wet mat will make some squeaky sounds with movements, which is normal for all the mats on the market. The difference is you can just wipe your sweat off during practice if you do not like to have a towel on the top.
Your "Clever Yoga" yoga mat is made from premium 100% Recyclable and ECO friendly TPE material which is UV resistant, odor-less and free from PVC, Phthalates, Silicone, Latex and other toxic materials. You know you are safe to practice on it with a peace of mind.

Lightweight Towel for Travel

This towel is awesome, lightweight, compact, and large once unfolded. Has strap to hang it by, a bag to store it in that also helps to keep it air flowing so the towel is ready for the next use. Dries super quick.

Great for workouts, yoga, beach, travel, theme parks. So much smaller than toting around a large heavy bulky towel all day long.

Soaks up so much water and is super soft to the touch and stays this way. My new favorite towel for our family to take on trips to theme parks.

Stretching to be more Flexible

I have been doing Yoga on and off for many years. Yesterday I had an appointment with the disability Dr. and boy did I learn just how un flexible I really am.

Years of not doing Yoga regularly on top of having Fibromyalgia has not been good to my body, so I am going to try and get into doing Yoga on a daily basis.

I now know where I need to work on. Lets just say I didn't walk away from the appointment feeling very good about myself but I guess it is good for disability case. This Yoga Stretching strap is really going to help me achieve results. They might not be as good as I once was but will bring me closer to being able to move more easily.

OK I have a daughter with huge feet a size 14 in women's to be exact. What do you do when  your daughter wants toe socks but no one can make them in women's sizes because apparently women with big feet don't like fancy socks.

Replacing your Yoga Mat Strap

First of all let me say you can lose your mat strap. My daughters took them out to do yoga on the ground outside. When they were done just the mats came in no sign of the straps at all. Yes they lost two straps.

Luckily you can find yoga mat straps on the internet for sale. There are some great choices out there with FiveFourTen being one of them. This has a adjustable fit so it will fit both thin and thick mats alike, with our without your yoga towel attached.

I was able to get the Purple one and it really has a nice contrast against my black mat. I am happy, and for now on  when the girls borrow the mats they have to give me the straps as soon as they take them off.

Even at my size I have always been able to touch my toes except for when I was  pregnant. I recently found out that most of my children could not touch their toes. Crazy right. I thought the school had them stretching and exercising. It does show you that you can not assume the school is doing their job keeping your children healthy when they are away from home.

I know that touching your toes does not mean you are healthy but it does mean you have flexibility. All of my children could touch their toes before they went to school. So to remedy the situation I have had them working on stretching touching their toes and even having them do some yoga which they enjoy.

With having Fibromyalgia I can't quite stretch and bend like I used to from the mere fat that has built up on my body, but I can still touch my toes, and almost do a split (the fat on my thighs would probably bust open if I pushed my body all the way to the limit) which is quite amazing in itself.

Childbirth is easier with the more flexibility you have. Stretching is so very important to both health and mind. I usually stretch after I am done meditating which feels great.

I really like how this strap can be made to help people like me stretch just a bit further as well as helping get into yoga moves you just want to get a little closer to the correct pose. Do take caution and never over stretch. Stretch a little more each day if you are not already stretching everyday so that you do not have muscle strain or hurt your body in any way.
