EcoSMART Safe Home Value Bundle Giveaway – Get Rid Of Pests Safely

ends March 13,  11:59 PM eastern

Your participation is greatly appreciated! Thank YOU!

EcoSMART Safe Home Value Bundle Giveaway – Get Rid Of Pests Safely

If you’ve ever had a bug problem, you’re probably familiar with the other problem that arises: safety. As much as you want to get rid of bugs in your home, you certainly don’t want to put your family in danger.

Think all pesticides are toxic, though? Think again.

EcoSMART has developed all natural insect repellent that is safe for children, pets and the environment. And guess what? Its safe ingredients are commonly found in your spice rack.

The safety lies in the ingredients, which are natural plant oils that target insects only. The active ingredients are harmless to mammals, birds and fish, because the plant oils have a similar makeup to octopamine. Octopamine is the insect’s version of adrenaline, and regulates their behavior, metabolism and movement. Since people and other animals do not have receptors for octopamine, EcoSMART has no effect on them.

But EcoSMART is certainly effective on bugs. University research and field studies have proven EcoSMART is just as effective as conventional pesticides in their ability to kill insects fast while providing effective control.

You can rest easy because the sprays leave no toxic residue, unlike traditional home pest control sprays. This means they won’t pollute ground water sources.

As spring approaches, look to EcoSMART and its natural bug spray to keep your home pest free.

WOW, the prize is a $31 value!  To enter the giveaway check out the EcoSMART products and leave me a comment sharing which organic pesticide you would like to try the most.   I’m  interested in trying the Home Pest Control which kills  and repels over 100 insects!  To me it  is exciting to be able to get rid of pests like spiders without using toxic chemicals and know my family plus  pets (my extended fur family) are not going to be harmed in the bug busting process.   I may love nature, but the creepy crawlies belong outside and not in my home!

Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks Giveaway – Win One Give One Laptop!

My two kiddos love the great taste of Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks so they were very happy to see two boxes sitting on my door step given to me from Betty Crocker through MyBlogSpark!  They have fun unrolling the fruit and munching down the sweet fruity treats.  I would much rather them reach for the gluten free Fruit Roll-Ups than candy and try to always keep a few boxes within their reach.   Now just by doing what they like to do best (snacking),  they have a chance to win a laptop and more importantly to help make a difference to a child in Africa.

With specially marked boxes of kid favorites – including Fruit Roll-Ups, Gushers, Fruit by the Foot, and Stickerz & Shapes – your child could win one laptop to keep and Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks will donate another to a child in Africa.

Each day from now through May 30, 2010, one laptop prize will be awarded to a U.S. winner. For every laptop won, one laptop will be donated to an African child through One Laptop per Child , an organization that creates educational opportunities for the world´s poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning. For your chance to win, simply enter the unique online code printed on participating Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snack packages on www.WinOneGiveOne.com.

GIVEAWAY

To enter the giveaway for the chance to win the Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks along with the $25 donation on your behalf,  please leave me a comment sharing  what you  have done to encourage your children to help others or what  your favorite experience has been with helping others.

DO IT OR AGE QUICKLY: 60-Second Practices to Live Better, Stronger, and Longer By JB Berns – Review and Giveaway!

DO IT OR AGE QUICKLY: 60-Second Practices to Live Better, Stronger, and Longer is fitness guru JB Berns new book.  The author created a program comprised of 21 simple techniques to keep you looking and feeling younger. Each easy anti-aging recommendation only takes 60 seconds which means the whole system only takes 21 minutes to complete a day! None of the practices require exhausting physical exertion to reap the benefits of slowing down the aging process.  Most of the techniques you probably never heard of before (I know I never have) and can be done by almost anyone.

Some of the authors secrets and methods you will learn in the book include:

The book is filled with tons of useful information!  My favorite chapter was 18 “Correcting Your Diet.”  JB discusses the importance of consuming a proper diet and the practice of trophology.  Trophology is a system of correctly combining foods or eating them separately to maximize digestion and lessen the bacteria growth in the digestive track.  Additionally, eating the proper food combinations leads to improved digestion, weight loss, better nutrient absorption, and increased energy levels.  He explains in detail which foods to avoid eating together and also  gives diet advice such as…

When you wake up, have a glass of warm water with half of a lemon.  Lemons are great detoxifiers, rich in vitamin C (so they boost your immune system), aid in digestion, and benefit the gastrointestinal tract. It’s a great way to start the day!

No white flour or foods from sealed cans. Fresh foods are much healthier for you and will give you more energy. Stay away from white flour foods such as donuts and other sweets. Eat natural unprocessed foods like fruit, vegetables, and unsalted nuts.

Before swallowing, chew your solids until they become liquid. Digestion begins in the mouth. By chewing foods well your digestion and assimilation of nutrients should improve. As Ghandi said, “Drink your food and chew your beverages.” In other words, chew until your food is liquefied and drink liquids as slowly as solid food. This applies especially to carbohydrates, which require contact with the alkaline ptyalin enzyme in saliva to begin proper digestion. This also allows the sensation of fullness to develop so you won’t overeat.

Try not to drink liquids during meals. Drinking liquids during your meals does not allow you to chew your food thoroughly and may wash down nutrients prematurely. When you eat a starchy food, for example, if you don’t allow the enzyme ptyalin in your saliva to do its work, digestion will not begin properly.

Eat sparingly to live a long, healthy life. Taoist principles teach that you should only eat until you are 70 to 80% full. The human body is not designed to handle large quantities and the complex combinations of the modern diet. Numerous studies have suggested that calorie restriction (without restricting nutrition) may elongate one’s lifespan.

Eat like a king for breakfast, a queen for lunch, and a prince for dinner. Minimize your intake at meals as the day proceeds. A classic pattern of the overweight is to do the opposite: to eat very little during the day and then binge in the evening (because they’re so ravenously hungry!) Having a large dinner before bed will not allow for good rest and enough time for proper digestion.

Avoid extreme hot and cold temperatures in food and beverages. This can irritate the lining of your tender digestive tract and disrupt efficient digestion.

Try not to consume food three hours before bed. You’ll get a better night’s rest on an empty stomach rather than a full belly.

Great Book!
