There are times where I love something so much that I just think there is no way I should share this. Then everyone else will know about it and use it. Then I do a mental kick to my head and decide that this is just too good to not pass along. Denise’s Daily Dozen is one of these things. I love this book. Not only does it have wonderful exercises to get you moving and going, but it explains eating and mental well being as well.

I love the tips she gives, like buying healthy food in bulk. I honestly went out after reading that and bought a bunch of nuts in bulk. I love nuts and when you want something crunchy they can be a great place to go. I carry them with me a lot now and have found I’m full and don’t snack as much on sweets.

The exercises in this book are very easy to do at home so your not buying a gym membership that you will never use, you can just take a few minutes out of your day, pick an exercise or two and do them. Now, this is what I did and I only lost about 3 pounds, but I enjoyed the exercises, that in my opinion is what matters, if you enjoy it and it gets you moving you will lose weight. There is also a great website to check out: deniseaustin.com

I also love how Denise focuses on mental well being as well as physical. She has many tips to help you feel better about yourself, your life and where you are going. Writing things down and learning to say positive things instead of negative is really a great way to help you lose weight, use these tips along with the relaxation tips in the book and you may see a change in your energy level. I know I did, but of course like everything, what works for me may not work for you.

I was very excited when I received another chance to review a product from Tropical Traditions. This time I received a gallon of coconut flakes. The first thought in my head was to make coconut shrimp with it, but I thought maybe a good dessert would be a better idea and a better review. So today I sat down and made some Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter Balls, now I did change the recipe a little as I did not have coconut flour and I couldn’t grind my oats so I just used some oats we had in our cupboard and it worked just fine. I also used dark chocolate as that is what I like. Of course if you want to stick to organic items you can buy Organic Dark Chocolate as the tropical traditions website. The recipe was very simple and requires no baking! Something that I loved as we are trying to cut back on our energy use. I wasn’t sure what I would think of these coconut balls when I was done with them, but I really do like them. For me they are a little sweet, but my brother ate four, so that can’t be too bad.

As for the actual coconut itself I like it. It does not have that sweet taste that some coconut flakes have as there is not powdered sugar involved. It’s just simple coconut so you can use it for almost anything. I do plan on using it to make coconut shrimp, and I have found myself just eating it without anything. It would be a great additon to a snack mix or trail mix.

Now I know your wanting to win this great prize, so check out the giveaway rules below!

*I was given this product to review by Tropical Traditions.

I don’t have a lot of time in my day so sometimes it’s a lot easier to pop something in the microwave then try to make something healthy and good in a hurry. I love lean Stouffers products because they are unique and actually taste good.  Now they have introduced 4 new Stouffers-panini products, and I have to say they sound pretty good. The four products are: Bistro Meatballs & Peppers, Bistro Chicken Souvlaki, Lean Cuisine Grilled Vegetables & Goat Cheese, and Lean Cuisine Mango Chicken Tikka.  I may just have to see if they have them in my area.

Something I love about the Stouffer’s company is that they are always thinking of their customers and doing some amazing things. Right now they are doing a giveaway for Canadian residents where they can win the following:

3 Grand Prizes: Choice of India, Greece, Italy and France destinations ($10, 000 Gift Card)

1 of 12 Secondary Prizes: Sony Digital Camcorders (Value of $500)

Daily Instant Prizes: Free Stouffer’s Product coupons

If you live in Canada, You can register here to get a chance to win of of those great prizes. When you register you can get one free entry. After that all you have to do is enter a upc code. I have to say I’m a little jealous. Maybe I should move to Canada it is only a 2 hour drive from where I’m at now!

Below I have made  a list of some great contest that will be going on this month. I’ll try to remember to come back and add more as I see them, but I may just make a new post later in the month! Remember if you win to come back here and let us know!
