Have you ever heard of the Bender Ball
“The Bender Ball workout program is a great addition to your workout routine to keep things interesting and/or give you a good kick for the extra calories packed into the holiday season. It is a must-have for the home gym, but is small and convenient enough to be taken anywhere you go; the office, the gym, park or while traveling.”
Hubby and I had the chance to try out some Subway breakfast options thanks to their PR company who sent me a $10 gift card. Kev and I ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches and hash browns. I had an egg white cheese sandwich with green peppers and onions and Kev had the Black Forest Ham, Egg and Cheese sandwich. Both were delish and the service as usual was great.
The Subway breakfast items are affordable and provide fresh and healthier options that can be customized to YOUR taste that include veggies, sauces, cheese and meat toppings. You can even choose your own bread, an english muffin, sub or flatbread. You should really try a Subway breakfast!
And lucky for you, I have THREE Subway gift cards to give away!
Giveaway Time!

And now we have one last fun giveaway!
Jennifer Swain, an Independent distributor rep for the company itworks is giving away the ULTIMATE BODY APPLICATOR! What a generous prize!
It is an cloth wrap infused with an herbal solution. The active ingredients in the Ultimate Applicator help to heal the skin, producing a tightening, toning and firming effect. The Ultimate Applicator also detoxifies the body, which often results in inch loss as your body flushes out the toxins. The ingredients continue to work for 72 hours after you have applied the Ultimate Applicator, so you may continue to see progressive results over this time period.
The results you see from the Ultimate Body Applicator are not temporary, like you may have experienced or heard about with many body wraps that simply cause water loss. The Ultimate Body Applicator helps detoxify, tighten, tone, and firm in a manner that produces lasting results—without water loss.
As is true with any weight loss or body slimming, you can reverse the results you see from the Ultimate Body Applicator with poor eating habits and lack of exercise. This is why we say, depending on your eating habits and level of daily activity, you can expect your results to last approximately anywhere from 2 – 6 months.
Continued use of the Ultimate Body Applicators (one wrap every 72 hours at most) will also help you achieve continued results and maintain results you may be reversing with eating and lifestyle habits.
This sounds like a pretty cool product! I do want to say however that I have not personally tried this product so I cannot share any results or give you much info on the product however Jen is more than happy to help answer any questions you might have.
To enter for a chance to win this giveaway, visit Jen’s website and come back here to tell me the name of at least one other product the company carries. Comment before Sunday at 10 PM Eastern.
Thank you Jen for such a great giveaway! I’m looking forward to hopefully trying out the product as well.
Happy Shopping & Happy Holidays,
P.S. And lastly is a quick review of an Otterbox product called the Commuter™ Series for iphone that I received from the Otterbox company for review. I got the red Otterbox Commuter TL iPhone case
I am also in the process of reviewing two other Otterbox products and I cannot wait to do a full review on all 3 items together. I’ll be testing these products out over the next 5 weeks and will have a full review by the 1st week of January. I really want to see how well one of them works in Jamaica since I’ll have my iphone around sand and water. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Should be fun reviewing these other 2 products. Thanks Otterbox and Molly for the opportunity to test out these great products.
I’m excited to share you with you my thoughts on the 2XL family of headphones and ear buds. The products are stylish and affordable. And these products also stand out to me because they help ward off bacterial infections you can easily get from normal headphones and ear buds because they hang on the ear instead of having to stuff the ear pieces all the way in the ear.
The 2XL headphone samples that I had the pleasure of trying were very comfortable and the sound is really good. It took me some time to get used to the new hanging ear buds but once I got the hang of it, it was smooth sailing.
I was sent the GROOVE, SPOKE and RATIO headphones and ear buds to sample and I really like them all. My top choice at this time is the SPOKE but once I get more used to the GROOVE, I think that one will fast become my favorite. I really want to try the 4 CORNERS set of headphones because I have always liked that type of headphone set up.
Overall, I really am very happy with the 2XL products and will definitely recommend them to others. Thank you Lindsey for the opportunity to review these products.

One last quick note:
According to Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences, harmful bacteria was found on 92 per cent of ear swabs taken from people who regularly shared their earphones with friends, compared with only eight per cent of those who shared less frequently.
There’s some food for thought! Yikes!
Hope you enjoyed the headphone review! If you would like to try them out for yourself, pick up your own pair here
