Waterpik Complete Care 5.0 and Cordless Freedom are two brand new products from Waterpik.
I have always had sensitive teeth and unfortunately bad teeth due to genetics and trauma as a child. It’s hard for me to floss my teeth with regular floss, as it hurts and I have even made cavity bigger.

Skipfit Helps You Stay Fit While Having Fun

- brandy3 1 Comment

Skipfit is the newest fun way to stay in shape. Skipfit is perfect for the anti-exerciser and cardio-junkie alike! Laugh, sweat and feel like a kid again while toning the lower body and burning tons of calories ­ up to 200 in 15 minutes depending on just how crazy you want to get!

Skip Fit

A twist on a old favorite, Skipfit reminds me of my childhood. I loved to play with my Skip It and jump around when I was younger. It kept me active and healthy. This newer version can be used in doors or out and also leaves plenty of ankle room for moving around. The ball is not heavy at all, so getting to swing the ball around is a lot easier, and helps pick up speed.

** I am a little out of shape, but the skip Fit has been a great workout for me. It’s been a great stress reliever too. It makes it so easy and fun, i just go outside and play with my kids while using the Skipfit. 5 minutes a day is all it takes, for a good work out.

You can Find the Skipfit in stores or online at Kohls stores.

With so many new smart devices there are to many distractions on the road. Now you can monitor your teens driving with these apps.

  • Star Driver which is part of the Allstate’s Star Driver program. The app collects data about driving speed, time of day, hard braking events and driving routes.
  • Teen Driver by General Motors: technology that enables cars to give teen drivers visual and audible warnings when they exceed speeds preset by parents
  • Snapshot by Progressive: The Snapshot device isn’t specifically marketed for teens, but Progressive says it can improve teen driving habits.
  • Sprint Drive First: People who call or send text messages will get an automatic reply that the driver isn’t available.
  • On Board Safe Driver: Free for AAA members, OnBoard Teen Safe Driver allows parents to create alerts to notify them when teens arrive or depart from locations such as school or work. 

    In addition to these apps, be sure to talk with your teens and set ground rules that make them and you feel safe. My one rule when I started driving was no friends in the car and no phone. To big of a distraction. Also if I received a ticket or was in a wreck, my car was to be taken away.

Beat the Winter Blues With Nintendo

- brandy3 1 Comment

We have been stuck in the house for days and school has been canceled,my kids have been going stir crazy and hate the snow. So to beat the Winter Blues I introduced the kids to some new Nintendo games for the 3DS.

Mario and Luigi Paper Jam:

Screen Shot 2016-02-10 at 4.40.00 PM

When Luigi accidentally opens a mysterious book hidden away in Peach’s Castle, he gets more than he bargained for when characters from the Paper Mario universe spill out of the pages and start running amok. Players must take control of the terrific trio of Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario to defeat Bowser and Paper Bowser and bring the Paper Mario characters back to their original world.

Maro and Luigi’s Paper Jam is a fun game featuring the original characters. They go from level to level trying to collect all the paper characters and put them back in the book. The game does have a lot of talking from the characters which can take a while to get from level to level, but still fun.

Yo-kai Watch:

Screen Shot 2016-02-11 at 12.37.04 PM

The popular Japanese sensation YO-KAI WATCH has come to the United States with hundreds of cute, spooky and mischievous Yo-Kai (physical beings that inhabit the world and represent different personalities and fears). Explore the world to find Yo-Kai, befriend them and turn them into a team to battle other Yo-Kai

Yo-Kai Watch is a monster catching game and while it looks a lot like Pokemon, but it is very different. I am not any good at these games when it comes to catching and battling. It was struggle for me. My kids were trying to show me how to play and I am slowly starting to understand the game more. It has been interesting. After a few levels the game became more interesting as you need find healing items and game money. You will love the mini games and hunting down all the fun Yo-kai with their own personalities.

Snowed in or having the winter blues, you can find both of these games retail for around $39 for Mario and Luigi Paper Jam and Yo-Kai Watch.
