Gaiam.com Review of Muscle Therapy Foam Roller 18″
Have you ever used a foam roller? My first experience with one was during a personal training session and I just got to say I swore I’d never touch one again after that because it was REALLY painful. Fortunately for me I came to my senses and realized that a foam roller can be really useful for people in desk jobs. As a blogger I spend a lot of time at the computer and I find myself leaning into the computer screen. Leaning into and not sitting up straight effects your spine and posture after a while. Imagine spending 8 or more hours 5 days a week at a computer.…

Review of Cascadian Farms, a Smart Breakfast Idea
Do you love organic? love feeding your family good ole’ healthy food? Cascadian Farm Organic sells a variety of food items from packaged to frozen. We were given the opportunity to review cereal and granola bars and what we discovered is we LOVE this brand. It’s healthy, you can read/understand the ingredients list and there is no junk you can’t understand on the list of ingredients. I have been going out of my way to find deals on Cascadian Farm Organic cereal and bars so we can keep this stuff in our pantry, even though they are already very reasonably priced. We really like the chocolate cheerios which I found…

Bring Build-A-Bear Workshop into Your Home This Holiday Season
Emily’s Frugal Tips was chosen to review another animal from Build-A-Bear Workshop. I wanted to get two points of view for my review of them. In my opinion they are the go to shop if your child wants to build their own animal. Everyone in my family loves Build-A-Bear. We’ve raised our kids around the animals and they are well acquainted with how to build their own bear in the workshop. When the kids get together they love to talk about their latest animals and the newest addition to their family of animals.

HP Envy 120 Review Plus Savings Center Update #HPSavingsCenter
Have you ever bought a printer only to discover months later that it’s a piece of crap? I have probably gone through hundreds of printers in my lifetime. Buying a new printer is probably one of my pet peeves. I just hate having to go printer shopping, that was of course until I discovered HP’s Envy 120. I first saw this printer at my grandparents house. They had purchased it to print copies of photographs to make into photo albums for the family. I knew then that I wanted this printer. Ironically, a couple weeks later HP invited me to test out this printer and their new Savings Center program.

Are you looking for a holiday gift priced under $100? This Mr Coffee Single Serve Brewing System with Reservoir takes Keurig K Cups and is priced right at $79.99.

I was really happy that it brews just like the Keurig machine does. It take K Cups, no bagged coffee. I was disappointed that my reusable filters did not fit this machine, so be mindful of that as you will likely need to try several different brands before you find some that fit.…
