KeVita Master Brew Kombucha


**Disclosure:  I was provided with coupons for free product to help facilitate this feature.  This is my personal opinion, your opinion may very.  

Are you still recovering from Halloween and wiped out like me?  In our family, once we get home from taking the kids trick or treating, we pour out all their candy and go trough it.  As we go through it, we separate the chocolate from the non-chocolate candy.  And yes, there is a reason for separating.....lol shhh....my husband and I will sit up after the kids go to bed, watch a scary movie and go on a candy splurge lol!!  We all know that sugar just wipes us out - so you can imagine that my husband and I are just so tired and our bodies just feel so weighed down.   A friend of the families makes homemade Kombucha daily.  I only wish I had the motivation to do so! So I go to the next best thing - already brewed store bought Master Brew Kombucha. 

KeVita is a refreshing and lightly sparkling probiotic drink.  It's a refreshing, low calorie, probiotic drink made with four strains of live probiotics making it unlike any other drink on store shelves.  KeVita Sparkling Probiotic Drink, recently named one of the 25 Most Innovative Consumer and Retail Brands by Forbes, is a delicious vitality in every sip.  At the heart of KeVita is its proprietary culture with four strains of live probiotics handcrafted in its own facility in my home state of Southern California.  KeVita is certified organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, dairy free, gluten free and vegan.  KeVita is available in the refrigerated cold case at local co-ops, natural foods stores and select grocers nationwide. 

If you have tried Kombucha on it's own, it's definitely has it's own flavor, it's either something you can or cannot drink.  It does have a strong resemblance to a wine cooler which is why it originally threw me off.  But, luckily there are different flavors such as Blueberry Cherry, Coconut Strawberry, Tangerine and Hibiscus.  I finally did find one that I could drink which had pineapple in it which took away some of the wine cooler taste and more of a pineapple juice taste.  So if you don't mind that kind of taste, you will def love all the different flavors, if not, I would stick with one like pineapple - def one to try first for that quick pick me up.

Duck Dynasty, the big hit that has swept the nation has now provided a full  Kings James Version, The Duck Commander, Faith and Family Bible from Phil and Al Robertson.  As you open this Bible you are welcomed with a personal welcome note from Phil and Al Robertson.  You will also find 125 articles on the top 24 most searched topics on Bible Gateway with life application and scripture references that supplement each article.   My favorite part of the Bible is the 30 days of life changing testimonials.

The life changing testimonials by Phil and Al were touching, really made you think a bit, convicting for sure.  Reading this Bible, you get more in touch with Phil and Al.  You get to know them more as people, not just TV stars.   Did you know Al has served full time in the ministry for over 22 years now and is the only beardless brother in the family?!  If you are like me, sometimes it can get discouraging to read the Bible because it's so big and sometimes can be a bit hard to understand.  There are five core values that the Robertson family lives by - Faith, Family, Fellowship, Forgiveness, and freedom.  There are two list, one for Al and one for Phil that follow 52 days of insight into their family values and it's nice to get a different perspective from a father / son duo.  This is a really great Bible, my husband loves it! It's easy to ready and with all the extras it is very cost affordable compared to other Bibles.   The only thing I would change is the version, we are not fans of the Kings James Version, so I wish it came in different versions as we are each accustomed to.  Other than that it's definitely a great Bible that would make a great gift for any Duck Dynasty fan this holiday season!

Treat Maps from NextDoor



Love this!! As a Mother, it scares me a bit not knowing who's house your children are knocking on when going trick or treating.  I, personally have even seen / heard some creepy things come out from the candy givers.  Months ago, I received an email from one of my neighbors asking me to join NextDoor.  When I finally did, I love it!  It's a great way to connect with your neighbors, keep up today on suspicious activity and there's even a classified section.  Whether you live in a hip hood or a cozy cul-de-sac, the much anticipated tradition of trick-or-treating is an ideal time to explore your neighborhood. The Nextdoor Treat Map makes it easy to take your Halloween high-tech and safely connect with your neighbors for an evening of trick-or-treating, haunted houses and fun! The days of wandering aimlessly from house to house are over - download Nextdoor’s candy corn treat map to find out who is celebrating Halloween in your neighborhood.  Nextdoor’s Halloween treat map is printer friendly and will be available during October on Nexdoor.com and on Nextdoor’s free app for android and iphone.  (Which I have downloaded!)

I really hope you will help me spread the word on not only this fun treat map, but the NextDoor site itself.  It really helps to connect us with our neighbors which makes for a much safer neighborhood!

Movie Monday




I'm really excited about this movie, I have not seen it yet, but it def is on my list to see.  23 Blast is based on the amazingly true story of Travis Freeman. A typical teenager growing up in a small town in Kentucky, Travis is a local hero on and off the field. In the fall of 1997, in the prime of his youth, he is unexpectedly stricken with an infection that destroys his optic nerve. He becomes blind overnight. Under the influence of parents who love him, a physical therapist who challenges him, a coach who inspires him, and a best friend who he cannot bear to leave behind, Travis shows us what true bravery is by competing on the gridiron, helping his team advance to the State playoffs. We follow Travis and Jerry Baker, his closest friend, from the time they meet on the football field as kids through high school. Jerry’s attraction to the dark side of teenage temptations, beer and drugs, threatens to pull the friends apart. It is only on the football field where they truly connect.

Ahhh....Beauty, it's all something, we as a Mother strive to hang onto as we age.  As I get older and the wrinkles start to come out, I am always trying to find ways to help my skin stay firm and to blend in those fine line wrinkles.    My mom was not around much when I was growing up, so I did not have a mom to show me how to take care of myself.  We also ate a ton of fast food.  There was not many home cooked meals growing up.  I learned pretty much all of my cooking from my grandma.   From waffles, to salmon to artichokes - it was all learned from grandma.  My grandma also kept herself up.  Even through she could not get out at times due to her health, she would have people come to her, to do her hair and nails.   I always admired that about my grandma, that no matter what age, she always made sure she felt good about herself and never did she let herself go.  That is something I take in everyday.  There is hardly a day that goes by that I won't shower and get dressed.  When I go out with my family, I make sure I look good before I step out the door.  The one tip I can give you is - never let yourself go.
