Yacon Syrup from Quality Encapsulations - Review
products received free for review.
Hey guys! Have you ever heard of Yacon Syrup? I hadn't til recently.
I was actually watching Dr. Oz and he was talking about it. He was talking about how it can aid with weight loss. So I was immediately intrigued. Here's some info I found on his website:
How It Works:Yacon syrup is high in prebiotics, such as inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS). The concentration of FOS, which are sugars found naturally in many plants, is particularly high in yacon syrup. FOS resist breakdown by enzymes in the human digestive system and reach the colon without being digested. This means that yacon syrup is very low in calories (about 20 calories per tablespoon). FOS also acts as a soluble fiber, which increases stool bulk to help prevent and control constipation.

Having messy, disorganized cables/wires exposed in and around your entertainment center can easily distract from and diminish the enjoyment of your modern home theater. So how do you tackle this messy cable dilemma, and give your home theater the professional finish it deserves?

By using Datacomm's affordable and easy to install cable pass-through wall plates, you can make those cables disappear without your money or time following suit.
http://www.cableorganizer.com/ datacomm-electronics/pass- through-wall-plates/
DataComm Surround Sound Wallplate ($25.20)

Installing surround sound wall plates in your home allows you to skip the long, unsightly runs of cables, and give your home theater the clean and professional finish that it deserves.

WW School Zone
I've noticed some weird signs around my town (or what I think are anyway)
Because my son is a Senior this year & he has enough credits, he can get out early everyday. So I have to pick him up in the afternoon.
I go by this sign - it is not outside his school - but the "Education Center." 40 MPH in a school zone. Then end of school zone you can go back to going 55 MPH.

Ozeri 360 Tower Fan Review
The following was sent complimentary for review:
I recently received the Ozeri Tower fan as pictured above to review. First, though below is some product info taken from their Amazon page:
My take on the product:I recently received the Ozeri Tower fan as pictured above to review. First, though below is some product info taken from their Amazon page:
Boasting unrivaled technology, the Ozeri 360 Tower Fan oscillates at 60, 90, 120, or 360 degrees for partial to complete air circulation with 3 whisper quiet speed settings. Utilizing advanced cylindrical motion technology with over 200 noise-reducing micro-blades, the 360 Tower Fan achieves remarkable airflow velocity while remaining impressively quiet. The 360 Tower fan offers 3 fan whisper quiet speed settings for customized airflow. It also features 3 preprogrammed airflow patterns designed to foster sleep, relaxation and comfort with up to 360 degree complete oscillation for timely relief on a sweltering summer day or for refreshing circulation all year long. The Ozeri 360 Tower Fan features an 8-hour timer that can be programmed in 30 minute increments with ease, and a multi-colored LCD that displays all fan functions and the room temperature. All of the Fan's features, including programmable timer, are easily controlled via the included extended-range remote or via the fan’s front control buttons. The 360 Tower fan features a dismountable design that only requires the hand assembly of fan base using 3 included screws, with no special tools required. Satisfaction guaranteed.
Funny thing is this actually was delayed on the delivery by a couple of days, because there was a snow storm. So needless to say the weather wasn't really conducive to using this at the time.
Tuesday, though we had a touch of Spring and it got up to about 78 degrees here. So when I came home, I found it in my son's room. He said he was hot and wanted to use it.
I asked him some questions about how it worked and how he liked it and this is what he said:
"I like it, works great, 10 out of 10 stars, would purchase again."
- which may not be a bad idea. to get at least one more. Because I know when it starts getting hot again, my house is like a furnace and although we do have air conditioning, I don't love to run it all the time & don't keep it going all night long either.
Some more thoughts:
I have had some other fans like this in the past. And the last one I remember made so much noise it was ridiculous! Especially if you wanted to use it while you're sleeping. The Ozeri 360 Tower fan is so quite you can hardly hear it.
My son also said he likes how it can turn 360 degrees, also the little remote it comes with is cool. And as far as assembly - it is easy - my daughter put it together for me!
This fan has a lot of cool features that I am looking forward to discovering more about as needed. Or I probably could ask my son, because he probably has it all figured out. Check it out for yourself!
Buy it: Click here to Amazon.com to purchase one of these. (it is actually showing currently out of stock - but you can add it to your wish list for when it comes back in!)
disclose: I got this free to review - all opinions are my own.

Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask #powerofplants
I want to tell you a little more about one of the products I got in the J'Adorevoxbox I posted about last week. Check that post here if you like.
It is called Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask.
Here is some product info:
My review:
I tried this out when I first got it, at first I was a little surprised about it. That is because when I first squirted some out onto my hand it was kinda watery. I thought that was odd, since I think other mud type masks I've tried are very thick.
So I wasn't sure how this was going to work. You can go to my Instagram account to see pictures I took. The first one is when it is just applied (I took this one back in Feb. when I first got it) Check out picture HERE.
Despite my first misgivings about this being watery, once you apply it to your face it does go on smoothly and evenly. And coats your face rather nicely. Go here for second picture (I redid a mask the other day so I could get a couple more pictures) This picture shows what happens while the mask is drying. You get sort of a camo look - lol
The third step is the drying of the mask - this literally takes no more then 10-15 min. to dry. After that you can wash off with a face cloth and warm water. Check out this picture on Instagram of my mask once it was completely dry.
Once I rinsed this off, I noticed how refreshed and smooth my skin felt. It really works well and is a very nice facial mask.
You can purchase this on their website BootsUSStore or at major retailers such as Walgreens and Target. ARV $9.39 (good deal!)

Here is some product info:
Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask:
Treat your skin to deep cleansing with this mineral-rich clay mask. Designed for use on normal skin, the unscented, hypo-allergenic formula absorbs excess oil and deeply cleanses skin. The oceanic clay exhibits a negative electrical charge, which helps to draw out impurities without overdrying, skin is left looking clearer whilst feeling softer and smoother. Willowbark, a key ingredient in the Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask, is nature’s champion clarifier. The bark of the willow tree is a natural source of salicylic acid which helps to refine skin texture and actively target imperfections.
How to Use: Shake well before use. Apply to cleansed skin and leave to dry for 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water

I got this in the mail recently and unfortunately my daughter was there when I got it. She loves any kind of makeup and immediately confiscated it. Even though she probably doesn't fit into the category of who is supposed to use this. She still likes it and said it is a nice makeup.

One thing I also noticed when reading about it is that it is not tested on animals and that is also very important to me. So that is awesome.
