Blender bottle Review

The Blender Bottle is amazing! It really beats the usual wire whisk! I received the the Blue 28 oz Blender Bottle and the the Polka Dotted Sling for my review. I like to cook, but more so I wanted the Blender Bottle to review for my Protein Shakes.

 I have said in other reviews that I love to run and work out. Well I am now training for the Tough Mudder (Look it up, I know I am crazy!!) so I like to have a protein Shake in the morning and after my work out. The Blender bottle makes it so easy! My husband and I make shakes before bed or in the morning and than I add the shake to the bottle, and add my protein powder and shake. The Wire ball that is in the bottle evenly mixes up all the ingredients and I am set!

The sling is super awesome too! I put the bottle in the sling, and it stays cold for much longer. I dont know about you, but if you have ever had a protein shake, they are GROSS warm! One thing I found too, if my husband uses the bottle and takes it with him, I just the sling inside out so for him it is black (not sure he would want to sport the polka dots). So it works for us both.

I also really enjoyed the 101 Blender Bottle recipe book too. There were so many quick and simple recipes! I really liked the Key Lime Pie recipe..yummy!

Some facts about the bottle are:

• Dishwasher Safe
• Large drink/pour spout
• BPA free
• Fits in most car drink holders
• Easy Frip design
• Easy to clean

Um, SUPER easy to clean! I do not receommend letting your protein shake sit for a say in the Blender Bottle because it is gross (husband is not good at rising things out), but I just rinsed it out with water and NOTHING stuck to it! The bottle reminds me of a teflon pan, it just slides right off!

So if you like to cook, make shakes, etc, this is a great buy for you! Although I hate to think Christmas is coming in a few months this would be a great Christmas gift! Buys yours now!!

Sears Hometown Store Review

I had the great honor of reviewing the Sears store in River Falls,WI. Some may say, "a Sear's in River Falls?" Yes there is a Sears store located by Shopko. The Sears has been in that location for 15 years and is locally owned. They offer a variety of items. They have appliances, snow blowers, lawn tractors, tools, TVs, and more!

I walked in and was immediately greeted with a warm welcome.(Before I announced who I was) While I am not looking for any apppliances, I did find numerous lawn games that were 75% off! They had a variety of items, and a great deal of items on cleareance, one of my favorite things!

The store was VERY clean and well kept. I told my husband I will be very happy if I can fit a stroller through the aisles. That is one thing as a mom that I dislike, going to a store and not being able to even push an umbrella stroller around. I am happy to report there was plenty of space! While the store is small, they have a lot of things in there, and have really organized it well.

I liked the hometown feel, and know that if I was a regular customer they would probably be the store to call me by name and to know all my information.

Sears also offers a rewards program.The rewards card does not need a credit check, and it is good at Lands End, and Kmart too! You will receive 1 point for every eligible $1 you spend. One thing I thought that was super neat when using my card (that I orinally got for Kmart, but found out I can use at Sears!!) when you use the card it asks if you want a copy of your reciept or to have it emailed to you, or both! Way to be green! I think that is a great feature.

Also Sears in River Falls is on Facebook! Please ADD THEM and tell them I sent you! Plus as an added bonus for being a Facebook friend, every Thursday the will post a coupon good for Friday and Saturday. They also post various deals on their page so you can know what is happening in the store!

I highly receommend everyone that is in need of appliances, tools, lawn care items, etc, to check them out! It is a great business, and I love that they are locally owned and so friendly.

Skite Review:)

As a female runner, I want comfort, and quality in my work out attire, as well as I want to look cute! I have had the great honor of working with a wonderful woman that makes something that fits all those things, I introduce you all to the SKITE. Skirt + Tight = Skite! 

I tried the Skite on in 2 occasions (much more than that, but 2 I will  review about)!

1st wearing:

• I wore the Skite after I had surgery, because I could not yet wear regular jeans.
• Super comfortable for every day wear
• I got numerous comments on how cute the Skite was
• Even the men in my life thought it was super cute
• I would wear this every day, it is super comfortable and VERY flattering!!!
• Hold everything nice and tight! (No muffin top!!)

2nd wearing:

• I wore the Skite on a 2 mile run
• I had no annoying chafing, that I sometime (the majority of the times) get in my running shorts
• The tights and the skirt stayed in place, I did not need to stop and adjust
• I felt more confident because I felt like one hot mama in my Skite:)
• Although the majority of warm weather runs are over, the Skite did NOT make me feel any warmer than when I run in my shorts (does work great on cool runs too)
• There is a pocket on the inside for a key, ID, Kleenex (my nose always runs).
• The Skite really is super comfortable and is going to be a permanent fixture in my wardrobe - exercise and daily!

 Washing the Skite is super easy, wash in cold water and let air dry. I just hung my Skite up over night and it was dry by morning. The tights held their shape too! I have leggings for regular every day use that if I hang them to dry they do not keep their normal shape.

There are a variety of different colors to pick from , check out the Skite site HERE. She is adding new colors too!! The Skite runs a bit larger so I recommend ordering a size smaller. I usually wear a Medium in my running shorts and I got a small in the Skite and it fits perfect!

The only con that I could possibly come up with is that the Skite does sit a bit high on the waist.I personally like my clothes to rest lower. So I just pushed the top part down and it stayed in place and fit just how I wanted it too:) She is coming out with a "Skinny Skite" too, that will have a lower waist!! So over all everything I found about the Skite is PERFECT!!! 

I truly recommend purchasing one, two, well maybe three or four! They are great for running, working out, lounge, errands, really they are great for every day wear!! So GO HERE and get yours now!!
