Did you know muscles get bored, just like people do? And did you also know that there's a 9 out of 10 chance that you're working the wrong muscles when you exercise? With TRACY ANDERSON'S 30-DAY METHOD you don't have to worry--her unique workout will help you drop the weight and shrink your body in just 30 days.


Based on ten years of scientific research and experience getting not just herself, but A-list stars and everyday people, red carpet ready, Anderson has developed a unique 30-day diet and workout routine that reshapes the body and defies genetics to tone the muscles and drop the pounds. While most people incorrectly target their major muscle groups, like the bicep or hamstring, the focus should be on the smaller accessory muscles that can create a long, lean, balanced look--instead of bulked up look. Anderson's program is composed of a groundbreaking three-tiered approach, including a mat workout and cardio routine targeting the all-important accessory muscles, and an exclusive 30-day meal plan, complete with dozens of delicious recipes.

This comprehensive kick-start program is unlike any other workout on the market and it leaves no chance for anything but terrific, fast results!

WIN IT!

Review:

TeeWit.com generously allowed me to review a product of my choice from their website. For this review, I chose the "I'm Always Right!" Organic Women's Fitted T-Shirt priced at $29.99. I ordered the shirt in a size medium. I am 5'8" and wear a size 2/4. I normally purchase my shirts in a medium. The website did say this shirt was "form flattering", which means it is not a loose fit.

I was very pleased when my shirt arrived in my mailbox. The item shipped in a compact, recyclable and 100% degradable bag. I could not wait until the next day to wear my new shirt. I was very impressed with the quality of the t-shirt. The fabric is soft, and not at all thin, as some t-shirts are. The shirt fit perfect on me. It wasn't too tight or loose. If I would've ordered a small, it would've been more form fitting, but not as comfortable to me.

I love my new t-shirt!

I absolutely love getting comments on my clothing when I am "out and about". This t-shirt was definitely an attention grabber! I received a lot of comments while I was out running errands. People loved the funny words on my shirt and a few asked where I purchased the shirt from.

I would recommend TeeWit.com to anyone looking for unique items to purchase for a loved one for any occasion.

I am not much of a pop drinker, but every now and then I enjoy an ice cold pop. I normally purchase a 12 pack, because a 2-Liter will just sit in the fridge once opened, and eventually goes flat. I was excited when I was given the chance to review the SodaStream Fountain Jet Starter Kit.

Sodastream promises "a smarter way to enjoy soda". Sodastream is an at home soda making machine that turns regular tap water into sparkling water in less 30 seconds. Sodamix Flavors are sold in 34 flavors. They sell both regular and diet flavors. They also sell flavorings for sparkling water. The soda machines range in price from $99.95 to $249.95.

Review:

Sodastream was nice enough to send me the Fountain Jet Starter Kit to review along with 9 Sodastream flavors and 3 My Water Flavor Essence variety pack. It took me less than 10 minutes to glimpse through the directions and put the machine together. After all items were in place, all I had to do was:

1. Fill the one liter bottle up to the fill line
2. Put it in the fridge to get cold (I have to be honest, we skipped this step)
3. Once chilled, screw the bottle onto the Soda Jet until it is tight
4. Press the button on top of the machine until you hear a loud sound (3 times- or more according to taste)
5. Unscrew and enjoy your soda

I really enjoy being the owner of a Sodastream. It is:

• eco-friendly- no electricity or batteries needed and no waste from the plastic bottles
• portable- take it to the park, camping or anywhere you desire
• easy to make
• money-saving (no more 2 liters being wasted after going flat)
• great tasting
• easy clean-up
• in the long run, cheaper than buying pop from the store

I really can't think of any negatives. If you follow the directions, you shouldn't have any problems with your Sodastream.

Happy Dining!

Earlier this month I promised a second review of an item from CSN Stores. I am finally able to post that review! At the time, I wasn't sure if I would  purchase a table lamp or something else from one of the more 200 CSN Stores. After taking two days to go through the many products offered by CSN Stores, I finally made my decision.

I decided on something I actually needed- a coffeemaker. For those of you who have been following me, you know that I am more of a tea drinker, but every now and then I want a cup of coffee. Plus it's always nice to have a coffeemaker in the house when you are having company over. Luckily I was given the opportunity to review an item right after my coffee pot broke.

For the review, I chose the Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Coffeemaker priced at $42.99 plus shipping. Being the Bargain Mom I am, I did a quick search on the internet to see if I could find the same product at a lower price elsewhere. If you can remember from my previous CSN Stores post, they offer price matching! I was able to find the exact same item priced at $35.99 on another website. I sent an email to CSN on August 10th requesting a price match. At that time I sent a link to the webpage page of the lower priced item. A customer service rep responded back on August 11th requesting my shipping zipcode. I responded back the same day. It was August 17th before I heard back from the customer service rep. She explained that she had been on vacation and the product was out of stock on the website I gave her. I am thinking to myself, "It wasn't out of stock when I sent you the link on August 10th" (It would've been nice if another rep could've have handled her emails while she was away). The representative also said, if I found the product at a lower price on another site, she would be happy to look into a price match. The very same day, I found the same coffeemaker for $35.00 on another website. I sent the rep a link to that webpage and waited on a response. On August 18th, eight days after my initial request, I received an email saying that CSN Stores would match the price I found. I was finally able to proceed with the purchase. Instead of ordering online, I had to call the 1-800 number to redeem my discount code.

When I called the 1-800 number my wait to speak with a customer service rep was less than 30 seconds. The representative was very friendly and the process was very easy and fast. I was on the phone less than five minutes! The item was shipped the very next day, and I received it two days later. So, it took 11 days from the day I sent the price match request to the day I received my coffeemaker.

The Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Coffeemaker arrived securely, double-boxed in a box from CSN Stores and the original box from Hamilton Beach. I quickly unpacked my coffeemaker to give it a try. There was no assembly! All I had to do was wash the coffee pot and filter basket, and plug the coffeemaker into the wall!

I love the stylish look of the coffeemaker. As you can see from the pictures, the actual coffee pot can be seen from the front and back. I was able to easily set the clock on the coffeemaker, and it was very simple to program it to have a full pot of coffee the next morning. I really enjoy the auto-shutoff after 2 hours, since I am a bit forgetful- o.k. really forgetful! I have used my Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Coffeemaker a lot in the last week, and I do not have any complaints! It is stylish, fast and most importantly- AFFORDABLE! I would recommend this coffeemaker to anyone.
