Crystal Light Pure Fitness Review

- brandy3 6 Comments

Crystal Light is making a sweet breakthrough in fitness beverages-Crystal light pure fitness. The first naturally sweetened, low-calorie fitness drink mix, Crystal Light Pure Fitness contains electrolytes to help aid hydration during light physical activity.

It contains no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or preservatives, has just 15 calories per serving. It also comes in three flavors grape, strawberry kiwi, and lemon lime.

***This is very good, It tastes just like the original Crystal Light but sweeter. It’s better for you too! It’s hard for me to drink anything with artificial sweetners, because they hurt my stomach. This does not have any artificial flavors, but it still tastes very good.  I was able to try out strawberry kiwi and lemon lime. It actually tastes like there were real strawberries and lemons in the drink.

Release:Crystal Light pure Fitness will be available in March 2010

Retail:$3.29 for seven packets

My rating:9

Disclosure: I received a product from the company for my review.

CES was in January, In Las Vegas. The Consumer electronics Show featured great companies showcasing their new high tech products. I followed as many companies as I could to see the latest and greatest. One company I love Audiovox announced plans for a E-reader, to be featured under the RCA brand.

The E-reader, also called the Lexi stores up to 1400 electronic books, and allows for 7,000 page turns on a battery charge. “Lexi” will have six-inch display, and 2 GB of memory. Audiovox will also work with Barnes and Noble to supply over a million books in their electronic bookstore.

Sing A Long with Barbie Review

- brandy3

Growing up I was a Barbie fanatic, I had every car, doll and accessory imaginable. I loved the show Gem, but I never really got into Barbie dvds until my daughter took an interest. Now my daughters have tons of barbies, and almost every movie. Including the new Sing A Long With Barbie dvd we just received.

This DVD has all your favorite songs from the Barbie movies. I think it would have been a little better to have Barbie up on-screen like doing karaoke with you. It is mainly the scenes from each movie with the song.

The songs on the dvd are:

  • Connected (Barbie and the Diamond Castle)
  • Making my Way (Barbie and the Three Musketeers)
  • All For One (Barbie and the Three Musketeers)
  • Were Gonna find It (Barbie and the Diamond castle)
  • Here on My Island (Barbie as the Island Princess)
  • I need to Know (Barbie and as Island Princess)
  • Right Here in My Arms Reunion (Barbie as the Island Princess)
  • I am A Girl Like You (Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper)
  • The Cats Meow (Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper)
  • We Wish You a Merry Christmas (Barbie in A Christmas carol)
  • Chuzzlewit Jingle Bells (Barbie in A Christmas Carol)
  • Shine (Barbie in the 12 Dancing princesses)

This dvd also contains two music videos( Connected, and All for One).

My daughters love this movie, they danced around and sang watching this dvd. They Both love  Here on My Island and Connected, my favorite song would be Right Here in My Arms Reunion. The words are diplayed on screen for children to follow along, my kids don’t know how to read that though.This is a perfect Valentine Day Gift for any little girl!

Release date: 1/5/10

Retail:$14.98
