Oxylent Multivitamin Supplement Giveaway - Ends 7/6

Two of the most important things you can do to improve your health daily are take a multivitamin supplement and drink water. Unfortunately, so many people are not doing one or both of these. The reasons are usually the issue of not wanting to swallow a pill, since most multivitamin pills now-a-days are almost the size of horse pills. Not drinking water is due to the fact that water itself is bland and tasteless. There won't be any reason not to do these things anymore with Oxylent. Oxylent is a high quality multivitamin supplement that can be mixed into water to create a refreshing and nutritious daily drink. It contains a unique effervescent delivery system that offers nearly 100% immediate absorption of vital nutrients. Simply add the contents of the packet to eight ounces of water and you become hydrated, oxygenated and rejuvenated. The convenient packets allow you to take it with you anywhere, it goes where you go! It comes in the great tasting flavors sparkling berries, sparkling blackberry pomegranate and sparkling mandarin. Available in a 30 count single flavor and variety pack box. For more information visit Vitalah.com. 


Two lucky Consumer Lifestyle Readers will each win an Oxylent gift pack which includes one Oxylent variety pack box and one blue Camelbak water bottle.

Noxicare Natural Pain Relief Cream Product Review & Giveaway Ends 6/21

Whether it's carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, sore shoulder, achy knees, or any place in between, there are some pains we just have to live with. The most common way to deal with the pain is to rub some pain relieving cream on it. For most creams, the first ingredient is menthol (that is what gives it that minty "you can smell it from a mile away" odor), but Noxicare is different. It does not have that odor, in fact it has no odor! That's because it is a natural pain relief cream, specially formulated for joint, nerve and musculoskeletal pain.

It contains these natural ingredients; turmeric, willow bark, ginger, holy basil, rosemary extract. It was very surprising to see Turmeric listed as the first ingredient. Turmeric is a very well known anti-inflammatory. I have never seen it as an ingredient for a pain relieving cream before. Every article I read about anti-inflammatory foods, turmeric is always on that list, usually at the top of the list, (ginger and rosemary are on the anti-inflammatory list as well) big pluses in my book. I already incorporated turmeric, ginger and rosemary into my diet, so it is great to be able to put them on my skin as well. Noxicare comes in an easy-to-squeeze tube. I was feeling soreness and pain in my shoulder and rubbed some of the cream there. The cream itself was easily absorbed into my skin and did not leave my shoulder or the hand I used to rub it in greasy at all. A few minutes after I rubbed the cream in, I felt a slight tingling, (the "it's working" good kind of tingling) and sure enough, the pain I was feeling did subside and I was pain free for hours. If you suffer nerve, muscle or joint pain and want to use a natural pain reliever try Noxicare today! Noxicare comes in a 3 oz tube and sells for $19.95. It is available for purchase on their website, www.noxicare.com.

Three Lucky winner will each receive a tube of Noxicare and a Noxicare T-Shirt.

It has an extra large flap to keep legs and clothes from touching the front of the toilet, as well as side flaps that cover the sides of the seat, which most children grab to steady themselves. These are a must-have item for everyday on-the-go parents and an essential item for your travel bag. PottyCovers come in a package of 6 for $5.99 and can be purchased on Amazon, Ebay, all Buy Buy Baby stores around the country and at select Bed Bath & Beyond stores.

De-Stress in 5 Minutes or Less

Here are some great tips and tricks to help you de-stress in 5 minutes or less:

When the body absorbs sunlight, it enhances the effect of mood-stabilizing chemicals like serotonin. Open the curtains during the day.

Take a virtual vacation. Close your eyes and visualize being on a luxury ocean liner. Feel the rhythm of the waves and inhale the smell of the ocean.

Jump rope. Jumping rope for 20 minutes triggers your body to release feel-good endorphins, and its repetitive motion makes you relaxed and focused.

Play music that brings up good memories. Many people find they have a visceral reaction to something they heard in their youth.

Breathe deeply. touch your middle finger and thumb together on each hand to signal to yourself that I should stop what I'm doing and take a deep, cleansing breathe. You can do it wherever you are - in the grocery store or at a conference.

When upset, recite the alphabet backwards. You really have to concentrate on the letters, so by the time you get to "P", you've forgotten what was bothering you.

Lie across several stairs upside down. It has something to do with all that blood rushing to your head. It totally changes your outlook and mood.

Use lavender essential oil to get calm. Put it in a plug-in diffuser or add a few drops to distilled water in a spray bottle and spritz it on yourself and all over the house.

Laugh it off: laughter lowers your levels of cortisol, which is a stress hormone. so go ahead and giggle out loud, it'll make you feel better.

Fight Inflammation with Nordic GLA Borage Oil from Nordic Naturals Giveaway - Ends 5/18

Borage has the highest naturally occurring GLA of any known plant. Nordic Naturals new Nordic GLA is a vegetarian Borage oil made from non-GMO cold-pressed borage seed grown in New Zealand. It is available in 4 fluid ounces and provides 480 mg of GLA per serving. It is 100% vegetarian and contains no gluten, milk derivatives or artificial colors, and is flavor free.

Water, the Great Anti-Ager

Water is the greatest anti-aging substance around. Healthy cells retain water, aging ones weaken, and their membranes are damaged by free radicals and inflammation allowing vital water to seep out. When they deflate, the havoc is widespread affecting blood pressure, tissue health, and your complexion.

Choose foods wisely: Almonds, avocados, and salmon provide hydration; beans, lentils, and soy foods help build connective tissue.
Eat foods as close to their natural state as possible: water and nutrients are lost with cooking.
Drink lots of purified water: eat plenty of water-packed fresh fruits and vegetables.
Have one or two eggs every week: they're an excellent source of protein, vitamins A and B-12, folic acid, and lecithin (a major component of cell membranes). Take dietary supplements daily to ensure appropriate nutrient levels are maintained.

Relief from Allergies with Children's Claritin Redi Tabs

It's bad enough to experience allergies, but when allergies hit the first step in fighting them is to reach for the allergy medicine. The answer is not that simple for children. Most children cannot swallow allergy pills and even if they can, some types of allergy medicine can cause them to become jittery or drowsy. That's the great thing about Children's Claritin Redi Tabs. They dissolve instantly on the tongue (not to mention they have a sweet grape flavor to them) so no swallowing is necessary and they give 24 hours of symptom relief, plus they don't cause drowsiness.
