CLICK Espresso Protein Fitness Drink - Caramel, Vanilla Latte and Mocha flavors

There are a few products that I have featured and reviewed over the years that have become a staple of my daily routine.

I wanted to share about one of these products as they have just came out with an amazing new flavor.

 It is CLICK which is an Espresso Protein Drink. 

And let me tell you this is like no other protein you have ever drank.  This is a protein you will LOVE and crave to drink. You can enjoy it cold, hot or even blended with fruits and ice.

CLICK comes in three different flavors...Mocha...Vanilla Latte and now Caramel! 

And if you are not big into caffeine...they offer Decaf Mocha.


Every morning I start my day early so I can get my workout in before the busy family and work routine begins.  I grab an can of Celsius (another fitness product I reviewed and now use daily.) and then get my workout in.  After my workout as I get my boys ready for school I mix up a serving of CLICK in my blender bottle and enjoy every drink of it.

It mixes up so smooth and creamy...all by adding in cold water.  It has a delicious feel in your mouth and even tastes better.  One serving of CLICK provides 15 grams of premium protein, 2 shots of Espresso and 23 Essential Vitamins with only 110 calories.  I feel like I am enjoying a coffee shop product with out all the calories and expense.

CLICK also helps to stop sweet cravings with their new Caramel variety.  It is so rich but not over the top sweet.  I love it and haven't tried it yet mixed with anything..as I don't know if I want to change how it tastes...as it is just perfect!!!

Don't forget when you check out CLICK to sign up for their newsletter and receive $5 off your next qualifying purchase.  I love their newsletter as I get all the great info as to what specials they might be having on their website.  Right now I am amazing at the deals they are offering on CLICK. 

So hope you give CLICK a chance and become a fan like I am.  I am such a faithful CLICK-tastic fan I have become an affiliate too. 

One more think CLICK has helped keep me on the path to wellness by helping keep my weight on target and my physical activity increasing.

Finding the perfect Prom Dress without breaking your budget

*sponsored post but all opinions are mine.

Yes it is possible to find the perfect prom dress without having to put a second mortgage on your home!  Years ago the expense of prom dress shopping included everything from traveling way too many miles, meals, snacks, drinks, fuel and still not finding the dress of your dreams.

And as the years have passed and technology has taken hold; so has the ability to find whatever your heart desires from the comfort of your own home.  Prom dresses can also be shopped for online and send directly to your home.

When I first heard about this, many questions crossed my mind.  I think the top questions were how can you get the perfect fit for the prom dress of your dreams online?  How could a dress be bought and shipped while still looking like it was crafted just for you?  And then the most important question for a parent...How much is it going to cost and can we afford it?  Well let me answers this questions below.

I have done a lot of looking online to see what the prom styles for 2014 are going to be. And let me tell you I am personally in love with so many of the dresses.  One of my favorites that I found on the JJsHouse website is called the A-Line/Princess Scoop Neck Floor-Length Chiffon Prom Dress With Ruffle Beading.


It is so elegant and the attention to deal is out of this world.  And to answer a question from above...this dress is very affordable.  It currently costs under $165 and is ready to be shipping right to your house.

Okay, yes I love this prom dress but how could I order it and hope it would fit.  Well JJ's House has you covered or should I say will cover you with the perfectly size prom dress.  They offer the option called custom sized.  This beautiful and affordable dress can be Made-To-Order just for you if you like.  The website makes customizing a dress very simple to do with easy to follow instructions.

Finally a way to have the perfect prom and stand out above all the other dresses and still have money in your pocket.

Everyone have a safe and special prom!

Wellness Petfood - Only the best for our dogs! #lovemydog

*Sponsored Post but all opinions are 100% my own.

Do you own a dog or two or more? 

Wait let me re-phrase that....Do you have a dog or two or more in your family?

Yes, I like to think of myself as having a loving family including a husband, three boys and two wonderful dogs.  We are not dog owners as we don't own our children...and our dogs are just like our children...they are part of our family.

And just like we make the best decisions possible when it comes to our boys we try to do the same for our dogs.  And these best decisions for our dogs...Lucky and Radar also include making healthier and balanced food choices.

Not all dog foods are made the same.  And as a family that includes dogs we have to do our research and find the quality dog food that incorporates the health, well-being and longevity of our pets.

So that is why I feel the need to share about a great dog food called Wellness.

This dog food and what it stands for makes me smile.  I finally feel I have found exactly what my dogs need.  A company that understand the importance of just the right balance of protein, fat and carbs.  This Wellness dog food has real meat, whole grains, fruits and veggies. 

And Wellness also realizes there are things that Do Not need to be in dog food like artificial flavors, colors and preservatives.  Thank you Wellness and thank you for making it easy to find your products by using your store locator which also shows online retailers too. 

I must not forget to mention that I like I no longer will have to use some of the pet supplements we incorporate in our dogs daily routines.  Wellness petfood meets those needs by incorporating...


·         Live Active Probiotics – Added after the cooking process to promote a healthy intestinal tract and overall digestive health at guaranteed levels

·         Omega 3 and 6 Mix – Offering guaranteed levels of essential fatty acids for cellular function and healthy skin


·         Essential Vitamins and Minerals – Designed for cellular health, immunity and disease resistance

Are you Heart Healthy? Use Campbell's Recipes and coupons to get you and your family on track.

**This post is sponsored by Campbell Soup Company but they opinions are 100% my own.
I will be the first to admit how difficult it can be to juggle your family's life and your own.  How do you find time to get everything done?  How to you find the time to make healthier food choices that will make a positive difference?
It think the best way to make the transition to healthier food choices and in turn lifestyle choices is to find easy ways have what you need on hand.  Seek out recipes and make sure you get to the store with your list so you are ready to make heart healthy recipes all week long.  I know I am such a list person and if I pre-plan our meals - I am more likely to stick with it.  I am also a firm believer in exercise with out excuses.  That is why I work out in the comfort of my kitchen.  I really do.  Workout videos work for me and long walks with my family are a great way to get exercise and socialize. 
I noticed that Campbell's Soup offers amazing heart healthy recipes and tips which can help anyone with these life changing transformation.
Here are five of my favorite recipes (which are American Heart Association Certified Recipes) that I can't wait to try and see what my family will think.
 Turkey Meatloaf...We are already using ground turkey in many recipes that call for ground beef.  It is a great way to make delicious meals that still are moist and full of flavor.
And I have a son that can't get enough rice.  It would eat rice for every meal. And all my boys love "trees".  So this recipe for Broccoli Cheddar Rice will certainly be a hit for everyone!

I can't leave out a Heart healthy recipe for my hubby.  He loves spicy, flavorful dishes.  So Louisiana-Style Chicken, Sausage & Shrimp Skillet will be fun to try out.  Heat and Heart Health.

Any what family doesn't love pizza.  But pizza can be pretty unhealthy.  So what about this recipe for Pizza Primavera with Cauliflower Crust?  Doesn't that sound interesting?  I think it does.  I will have to let you know how it goes.  But if you try it before we do, please let me know. 

And I found a great Lent recipe to try this Friday.  It is also Certified by the American Heart Association....Tilapia & Vegetable Casserole.

So I had better make me list and get shopping in the morning!

Don't miss out on all the great coupons and special offers that Campbells offers.  Just click here and get busy making heart healthy changes.

Get through cold and allergy season with Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

As an allergy sufferer and a person who seems to catch a cold or two every winter season.  The one issue that comes along with my allergies and colds are a sore throat.

One of my go to feel better products for my sore throat are...

Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops.

It is hard to believe this company has been around since 1870.  There is no doubt they are doing something right!!!  I am even having a hard time to think of another company who has been in business for over 140 years. 


Pine Bros. sent me out an amazing selection of their throat drops to sample and review. 

I couldn't wait to try out their Made in the USA natural licorice flavor as I already use Pine Bros. Wild Cherry and Natural Honey varieties. 

I love the unique packaging that Pine Bros. offers in their convenient plastic "puck" containers.  They stand out on the shelf and are simple to carry along in your car, purse or gym bag.  And then to meet your family needs the value size bag! 

The active ingredient in Pine Bros. is glycerin.  So they are safe to use as needed.  They are perfect to use when you have a sore throat and even minor mouth irritations.

And the reason they are called Softish is that is exactly what they are!  They are not hard and they are not really soft.  But they do last a long time - which is great to help soothe your throat.  Like a said in a prior review they remind me of a gummy bear, but firmer like a piece of chewing gum.  But don't chew them!

I think my favorite flavor is still Wild Cherry.  The Licorice has a great cooling effect and reminds me of olde fashioned anise bears.  The Natural Honey tasted just like its name, pure and simple.

I am thankful that the creator and former owner of Airborne, Victoria Knight-McDowell has acquired Pine Bros.  Here is to a continued success of this American classic throat drop.  You can find Pine Bros. on these social media sites....Facebook and Twitter and Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops.


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
