C3* for Stress Review & $75 SpaFinder.com Gift Card Giveaway Red Hot Valentine's Gift

Are you stressed? I know I am extremely stressed. It is no surprise that stress is a major issue affecting most of us. Stress has an impact on our health, careers, and family/relationships. Because long vacations, kid-free days, hours at the spa and the absence of tight deadlines are just not realistic for most, there is now a new product that hopes to make it easier to reach that stress-free goal.

"C3* for Stress is an all-natural, lemon-lime flavored drink mix of healthful botanicals and replenishing vitamins and minerals that helps relieve the symptoms of stress by keeping you calm, cool and connected to your natural energy. C3* keeps you focused allowing you to be more productive when you need it most and when you can't afford to slow down."

In January and February, my stress reaches its maximum with work (year end close, auditors, budget cuts for 2012, etc.), kids back to school after Christmas break, too many grey days of winter, hockey tournaments, illness, holiday weight gain, and all the daily craziness.  I was more than willing to give C3* for Stress a try.  I knew Friday was going to be a day that my stress was at all time high. I thought I would try to a short cut and added my C3* for Stress powder pack to my strawberry banana smoothie.  I don't recommend mixing lemon-lime with strawberry banana! Yesterday I mixed C3* for Stress per the directions  (mix with water or juice) and it tasted 100% better!

So, how do I feel? Unbelievably calm and connected. I was amazed on Friday how focused I was on my tasks at hand. I often get distracted and off task, especially when there is so much to do and everyone needs me to put out their "fires." I just seemed to be able to move from one emergency to other and cross things off my list. Also, I was surprised as I was driving to meet my family for my husband's birthday dinner how much energy I felt I had, not to mention I actually enjoyed the dinner with my family. Looking back on the day, I didn't drink any caffeinated beverages either. How is that even possible? Saturday was the same. I was able to keep calm and cool getting all of us through our weekly chores/cleaning, stayed focused on the "to dos" and got everything done. Normally, I am yelling at everyone to do this and that, while I am trying to do a million things at once. Again, looking back on the day, I didn't have to scream and yell at my family.  Again, how is that even possible?

No doubt for me, C3* for Stress helped me keep calm, cool and connected through the day. I had an increase in energy (I think due to less stress). C3* for Stress is all natural, stimulant and sedative-free. I also slept like a baby Friday and Saturday night, which is very unusual. No tossing and turning with worries or things I still need to complete running through my head. I woke up well rested and ready to go! C3* for Stress works quickly within 15-20 minutes, is sugar-free, and only has 15 calories.

I am going to go order a month supply since after 2 days, I am 100% convinced C3* for Stress is just what I need to help me deal with my daily stress.

Peaceable Kingdom - Feed the Woozle Cooperative Game Review & Giveaway!

Peaceable Kingdom was founded in 1983 with a single product – a poster featuring the beloved art from the classic children’s book Goodnight Moon. Twenty-eight years and more than 5,000 items later, the company has grown to be a leader in juvenile stickers, greeting cards, and games.

I was given the opportunity to review a Cooperative Game from Peaceable Kingdom called Feed the Woozle. A Cooperative Game is a game where all the players play against a certain obstacle rather than against each other. These games are wonderful for families because it provides lessons on teamwork, shared decision making and cooperation, no one feels left out or behind and it's a lot of fun!

Feed the Woozle is designed for ages 3-6 and can have up to 5 players. There is no reading required (except the directions) and the game duration can be as short as 15min, wonderful if you have little tots with short attention spans! There are actually 3 levels to Feed the Woozle for differing age groups, however the game is technically the same. Here is how it's played!

First! You set up the Woozle on a table, here we used a chair because my tot was pretty adamant about it being there, but a table would be more sturdy. Then, you roll the die to figure out how many pieces of food to feed the Woozle.

The food pieces are hilarious! Broccoli Lollipops, Toenail Toast, Hairy Pickles, Garlic Lemonade, Fuzzy Donuts and more crazy things. My son LOVES it, his favorite part of the whole game is probably just reading the Food pieces.

You put however many food pieces you'd rolled for on the spoon and then your child walks across, trying not to spill any of the food pieces, to the Woozle to feed him! For every successful piece that goes into the Woozle's mouth you get a Woozle square and when you get 12 you win! If you lose a piece, you lose a square.

Now if you have bigger kids and want more of a challenge then you include the spinner. The spinner has various things on it like Marching, Go Crazy!, Hula Dance, Walk Backwards, etc. It gives more of a challenge when you have to walk across the room to feed the Woozle while doing a Bunny Hop!

And if THAT is not enough of a challenge, then you go to level 3 and you do it all with a Blind Fold!

We absolutely love this game. It's actually one of the first that we can really all do together as a team without anything really too challenging for my little tot. He's extremely happy watching everyone be silly hopping and marching across the floor or helping everyone by handing us the funny named foods.

Peaceable Kingdom has many other Cooperative Games for families that sound just as fun! Check out these names!

• Count Your Chickens
• Hoot Owl Hoot!
• Stone Soup
• Lost Puppies
• Mermaid Island
• Seeds for the Birds
• Race to the Treasure

The perfect family game, something to spend your time sharing and working together. Great for little ones, but also for families with siblings. If you enjoy family nights, you will love this!

Purchase: You can purchase the Feed the Woozle Game for $19.99 on Amazon.
