Our favorite balms include the Sore Muscle Rub Extra Strength with Chili Pepper, the Cuticle Balm and the Stress Soother.

The Sore Muscle Rub is a wonderful balm which you can massage into tense and tight muscles. The balm heats up on your skin and instantly relaxes and soothes your achy muscles leaving you feeling terrific. The Cuticle Balm is the perfect choice for cuticles which need TLC.

The Stress Soother is our hands down favorite balm and should be a must have item on every workers desk. At the first sign of stress, dab the balm on your temples or wrist and inhale deeply. The calming scents of the aromatherapy blend which include lavender, rosemary and chamomile, help to calm your thoughts, clear your mind and relax your body, leaving you feeling centered and ready to tackle your next challenge.

Equally important, both products offer protection against both UVA and UVB, so you can feel confident that you are protected.

EARTH DAY: APRIL 22, 2009 Honoring the W. S. Badger Company


To celebrate Earth Day 2009, we have selected an eco-friendly company, W. S. Badger Company , to honor on this special day. Review and giveaway to follow.

2009 Inglesina Zippy Stroller Review


Inglesina was established over forty years ago and has a solid reputation for producing top quality, Italian Engineered strollers and baby products. Through research, innovation and style Inglesina continues to offer parents around the world products which are comfortable, safe and functional.



Today we are highlighting the fantastico 2009 Inglesina Zippy Stroller, the top quality, full featured stroller which is still proudly manufactured in Italy, and is it itself a rarity in this Asian- centric baby product industry. The legendary Inglesina Zippy is well known for its patented, one-handed fold that enables parents and caregivers to fold the stroller effortlessly in a "zip." The 2009 Zippy offers several new features including telescoping handles which also rotate inward, a matching foot muff (included), a new wheel design and an improved cup holder.

The stylish stroller arrives pre-assembled. Simply attach the canopy, foot muff, napper bar/snack tray and cup holder and you are ready to stroll. The outstanding Italian engineering and craftsmanship is evident in the Zippy's superior design, top quality construction and materials and durability.

The 2009 Inglesina Zippy Stroller stroller is a perfect blend of style, comfort, safety and function, keeping true to Inglesina's philosophy and is an urban parents dream.


Handle bars

Never underestimate the importance of ergonomic handle bars when reviewing strollers prior to purchase. In fact, we think that examining the handle bars is one the first things that you should look for when selecting a stroller, not the last! Parents often focus on everything besides the handle bars. You will be logging in hundreds upon hundreds of miles while gripping the handle bars so please give careful attention and thought to them.

Your posture while pushing a stroller is a critical element that needs to be considered. Quite simply, if you are not maintaining a good posture when you are pushing a stroller, you may very well find yourself developing back and shoulder pain. Glance in the mirror when you are pushing your stroller and note if your shoulders are relaxed in a neutral position, vs hunched. How does your body feel after you have been pushing the stroller?

The 2009 Inglesina Zippy's newly designed, telescoping ergonomic handle bars are definitely noteworthy. The comfortable handle bars are height adjustable so now, parents of different heights will both be able to use this stroller comfortably, while maintaining perfect posture. In addition, the handle bars can rotate inwards, allowing parents to push the stroller effortlessly with one hand.



Canopy



The large well designed canopy on the Zippy is fantastic, and very rarely seen on an umbrella style stroller. The canopy extends all the down to the bumper bar to protect your little one from the elements, as well as from sensory overload and can be locked into place for added security. The canopy is equipped with a zipper which allows parents to unzip a portion of the canopy during warm weather, to provide ventilation for your baby. A nice size peek-a-boo window on the rear allows parents to keep a close eye on their baby. The canopy also boasts a small pocket with a magnetic closure to store essentials that you need within arms reach (keys, wallet etc)







Seat



The plush, luxurious seat is well padded for your child's comfort and extends into the lateral quadrants of the stroller, providing added comfort for baby when he takes a nap or stretched out. The seat cover is removable and hand washable which parents will appreciate! The 5 point safety harness with comfort covers is easy to operate and ensures that your baby remains safely secured in the stroller. The seat reclines in 4 positions via a centralized control on the rear of the backrest which operates smoothly and easily. The seat reclines to about 30 degrees shy of flat. To use from birth, consider purchasing either the car seat adapter or the bassinet (both sold separately). The front footrest adjusts in 2 positions.


Wheels

The new and improved 7 inch wheels are well designed. The front wheels can be locked off when navigating uneven terrain or unlocked for superior maneuverability. The impressive one touch brake system is very well designed and easy to operate and provides an extra layer of security.


Napper Bar and Snack Tray

The napper bar may be replaced with the snack tray by simply unsnapping and clicking into place. The snack tray has a generous centralized depression for holding snacks and two cup holders on either side which will keep baby well fed and hydrated.

Storage Basket


The storage basket will accommodate a medium size diaper bag plus a few baby essentials. The basket is designed to keep the contents safely in place. The basket will hold a medium to large size diaper bag and access is via the front or side. Pictured above is the Fleurville Mothership Diaper Bag.


Accessories

The 2009 Zippy comes complete with a napper bar, snack tray, cup holder and new for 2009, rain cover, a stylish matching foot muff. Optional extras include a bassinet and car seat adapter for newborns. The handy cup holder is well made and adjusts to accommodate water bottles of several widths while keeping them snug and secure. Caregivers will be able to stay hydrated while on the go.



Operation and Road Test

The ability of the handle bars to rotate inwards allows parents to push the stroller with just one hand. Why is this feature so advantageous?

*When your baby needs to be comforted and held, you can still push the stroller with your one free hand.

*When you toddler is eager to practice walking, you can hold his hand with one hand and push the stroller with your other hand.

*If you are crossing the street with your baby in the stroller and your older child is walking next to you, you can simply reach out and hold your child's hand while crossing the street while pushing the stroller simultaneously.

Opening and closing the stroller couldn't be any easier. The true one-handed patented fold is exceptional and must be experienced first hand to be fully appreciated. Parents can now hold their baby in one hand while using their other hand to fold the stroller, allowing them to keep their baby in their arms. This feature will prove to be invaluable in your activities of daily living when you have only one hand to spare! The stroller folds into a compact standing fold which offers many advantages. With a standing fold, the stroller doesn't lay on the ground and is not exposed to the dirt on the ground, helping to keep your stroller looking fresh and clean. The compact, standing fold will serve you well in a restaurant as the stroller can be stored next to your table in a restaurant without taking up very much room. This feature is also ideal if you live in an apartment and are tight on space. In addition, because you are not bending down each time to pick the stroller up off the floor, you are minimizing strain to your back.

The stroller can be pulled behind you like luggage, which will make traveling a breeze, or you can use the lateral side handle to carry the stroller. This full featured stroller weighs in at 22.5 lbs (with canopy).
The 2009 Inglesina Zippy performed very well in our road test with strengths including: excellent maneuverability, enabling parents to swivel and pivot around the tightest corners and a smooth ride courtesy of its four wheel suspension. The center of gravity of this stroller is low which results in a stable stroller that makes it difficult to tip, adding to the safety of the stroller. The stroller performs best on smoother sidewalks, even roads, grass, and indoor terrains.

The 2009 Inglesina Zippy Stroller is available in a selection of stylish colors which will attract many compliments and give you the confidence to stroll in style.

DadGear™ Satchel - Dads Diaper Bag



The DadGear Satchel is a rugged bag setting a new standard for Dad diaper bags and empowering dads to take an active role in caring for their baby. It is designed after a European bag and incorporates a "hands free" approach which allows you to change, feed, and entertain your child without ever having to set the bag down or if you do, it can stand on it own due to the unique triangular end wall shape.






Features include:


• Quick access wipes window and refillable wipes case make grabbing wipes a breeze.

• Large interior pocket for diapers or food.

• Large zippered interior pocket for storing larger items.

• Three pockets under front flap for secure storage and other items.

• Two neoprene exterior side pockets for bottles.

• Stroller straps attach to any style stroller and store in their own pockets.

• Changing pad included in its own pocket to eliminate cross contamination.

• Light-colored interior helps you see everything inside.

• Large, adjustable 2" strap made of ultra-comfortable webbing.

• Durable materials and classic styling ensure this bag will last long after the diapering years.

This bag is available in several colors and styles including a limited edition, one-of-a-kind recycled billboard option.

Purchase this bag direct from DadGear's online store or to find a retailer in your area, please click here.

Given the fact that almost all of the parent products on the international market today are geared towards moms, it's no wonder that Dads may be feeling left out! Men don't want to schlep around feminine Diaper Bags, period! Well, fear no longer because DadGear™ has come to the rescue, again! DadGear™ shipped us our sample of the new Satchel design immediately and were always quick to respond to any questions that we had, which really impressed us. Our engineer was "highly impressed" with the top quality components of the satchel and said that "this diaper bag is built to last showing a consistent commitment to quality products". Our panel of dads could hardly wait to test drive the new Satchel! They admitted that they were terribly embarrassed having to carry/hold their wives floral silk diaper bags around town and were receiving "strange stares from other men"!!! We could immediately see the self esteem of the dads rise as they donned their Satchels. One dad exclaimed "these products REALLY are built with dads in mind". Another shouted "finally, I never thought this day would come". Both dads really liked the self- standing design making it easy to simply pop open the wipes case and reach into the bag to grab diapers without having to struggle. Dads we interviewed like to keep baby in place with one hand and reach into their bag with only one free hand and this can be accomplished with the DadGear™ Satchel. The Satchel's carry strap, made from seat belt material, has outstanding strength for the abuse guys dish out to everything and its width helps distribute weight to make the bag feel very light, so there are no injured shoulders by the time you get home. A very unique feature of the Satchel is the quick access wipes window. Our test dads praised this special feature: "When other dads saw that I was carrying a diaper bag with the easy access wipes case, they would come up to me and ask how to find such a bag." The dads in our panel reported feeling really confident carrying this rugged diaper bag around and felt proud & confident to use it in a public setting! "Its easy to grab what you need and still not look like you are carrying a diaper bag".

DadGear's™ success is certainly not surprising. They have won several awards and we can see why! Their top quality functional diaper products are well designed and are truly empowering to men. These products encourage dads to play a greater role in raising their babies and we applaud them for their innovative products which certainly qualify as products that make our lives easier!

The Omega 8003/8006 Nutrition Center Juicer

The USDA recommends that Americans consume at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day in an effort to maintain good health. Numerous studies have linked consumption of fruits and vegetables to a reduced risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. In addition, high vegetable and fruit intake can help you maintain a healthy weight, boost your immune system and increase your energy levels. However, despite these recommendations, Americans are still not getting the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables and are relying too heavily on processed foods, meat, milk and refined grains and sugar. A simple way to introduce more vegetables and fruits into your diet is through juicing.

There are many types of juicers on the market. Nutritional experts favor the single gear "masticating-style" juicers which operate at a lower RPM to slowly extract nutrients, simulate chewing and ensure the best possible taste. The juicer which meets our stringent testing standards is the Omega 8003/8006 Nutrition Center Juicer from Omega Products, Inc. Omega is a legendary name in fresh juice extraction and produces the highest quality single gear masticating style juicer on the market. The Omega Nutrition Center is available in either a white or a stainless steel finish and will look stylish and elegant on your counter top. The heavy-duty juicer features a patented auger which operates at a RPM of 75 to 85.

The Omega 8003/8006 Nutrition Center Juicer comes complete with all the parts and accessories required for full use of the machine in the variety of functions, saving you money! Assembling the juicer couldn't be any simpler and our test engineer was most impressed with the juicer's stability and mechanics. The juicer functions effortlessly and smoothly and is surprisingly quiet. The juicer makes the most delicious "crunching" sound similar to a rabbit when it juicers celery and children are sure to get a kick out of it.

The Omega 8003/8006 Nutrition Center effortlessly juices hard and soft fruits, including citrus fruits which are often very difficult to juice. The juicer excels in juicing all kinds of vegetables and customers will be extremely impressed to see first hand how much juice is extracted, leaving behind a very dry pulp, which translates to more nutrition and savings for you. The pulp can be used in a variety of baked goods or raw food treats. This juicer can even handle wheatgrass and leafy greens, which distinguishes it from the vast majority of the juicers on the market and offers customers the opportunity to benefit from these powerful sources of antioxidants. The result? A delicious, nutritious green drink, packed with vitamins and minerals. The perfect breakfast drink and the ideal afternoon pick me up drink to ensure continued energy and vitality throughout the day.

Clean up is really a breeze thanks to the well designed parts, accessories and the fantastic cleaning brush which is included in the box. Offering terrific value for money in these tough economic times, with the quick change of the blank cone/ juicing screen/nozzle the Omega Model 8003/8006 Nutrition Center functions as a basic food processor, pasta extruder, homogenizer and grinder. Now you can easily prepare healthy and delicious foods from scratch with little effort and save additional money.

Omega Products, Inc. stand proudly behind their products and offer a 10 year warranty on all parts and labor on this product so customers can feel confident that they are buying a top quality product.

Tips:

Most people juice mainly fruits, but we would like to encourage you to try to juice mainly vegetables, to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Feel free to add an apple, lemon and lime for sweetness and flavor, but focus on having a higher ratio of vegetables to fruit.

Start slowly to allow your body to get accustomed to juicing. Our panel recommends limiting fresh juice intake to just 4oz per day initially and slowly building up. Dilute fresh juice with 50% water during the first few weeks of juicing. For example, during the initial period, fill a glass with 4 oz of fresh juice and another 4 oz of fresh water.


Recipe

This is a staff favorite (Ref Dr. Oz):

1 organic lemon with peel removed (sweet variety)
1 small organic lime with rind removed
1 large organic cucumber
1 large organic Golden Delicious Apple
1 large organic Red Apple (sweet variety)
1 large handful of fresh organic spinach
1 large handful of organic parsley (fresh)
1 head of organic celery
1.5 inch of ginger peeled

Wash vegetables well. Slice into long, thin pieces sized to fit through the chute. Starting with soft
textures and progressing to hard textures, feed fruits and veggies slowly through the machine. Follow enclosed pamphlets for additional operating instructions and tops. Enjoy!

PURCHASING INFORMATION:

The Omega 8003/8006 Nutrition Center Juicer can be purchased directly from Omega Juicers. Cheers to your health! The two models are identical; the 8003 is the white finish and the 8006 the chrome/black finish.

Giveaway: Dr. Hauschka Skin Care Basics

Founded in 1967, Dr. Hauschka Skin Care offers holistic products and treatments based on homeopathic principles. The skin care line is named after Dr Rudolf Hauschka, a scientist who studied the connection between nature and the human being. After studying he developed a series of medicines and skin care that promote health rather than attacking disease. This approach to skincare through the function of the skin rather than just the symptoms of dryness and oiliness is what sets this skin care line apart and establishes them as a holistic skin care line.

The Dr. Hauschka line is manufactured by WALA Heilmittel. WALA has been committed to bio-dynamic agriculture for over 50 yrs. They use the highest quality ingredients in their products. Their unique philosophy is that "Beauty begins in the Garden." WALA has one of the oldest Bio-dynamic gardens in the world, which is located in South Germany. The 12 acres of land are tended to by hand and boast 150 herbal varieties which exist in the garden. To help keep the plants healthy year around, WALA makes use of cows, sheep, ladybugs, and other friendly insects which replace pesticides to protect the maturing plants. In addition, a variety and birds and bees call this garden their home. This Biodynamic Garden is an exemplary model and we applaud WALA for continuing with time honored traditions which are good for the earth and for its people.

Many of the Dr. Hauschka products are bottled in high quality glass jars and containers which adds a luxurious feel to the line. This eco-friendly packaging is not only beautiful but is designed especially so that the contents can be free of artificial ingredients. A member of our panel had the opportunity to test some products from the Dr. Hauschka Skin Care line which included Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing products for the duration of one month.

"I was most intrigued by Dr. Hauschkas unique approach to skincare which differs greatly from every other brand on the market. I started to familiarize myself with this new approach by learning about the 7 facts that will change your skin. I began to understand that everything matters: bringing daily rhythm into your life into whatever way that you can. Your daily protocol of cleansing and quality of how you touch your face are imperative. With this in mind, I began my morning cleansing routine with the Cleansing Cream which effectively and gently cleansed my skin. I followed this with the refreshing Facial Toner which has a light aroma and is very soothing to the skin. Since I have combination skin with an oily t-panel and dry cheeks, I combined the Normalizing Day Oil and the Moisturizing Day Cream and gently patted it onto my skin. My skin was left with a glow and this created the perfect base on which to apply my make-up. With my prior skin care products, I had great difficulty applying my mineral make-up, but with the Dr Hauschka products, my make-up went on beautifully. One of the 7 rules include skipping the Night Cream at night, to allow your skin to breathe. I admit that I was fairly skeptical of this rule and was concerned that by not using a night cream, my skin would turn very dry. Well, to my complete surprise, the opposite occurred. Each evening, I would remove my make-up with the Cleansing Milk which I adore. It is very soothing to my dry skin. I followed this with Rhythmic Conditioner. This product can be used with the changing seasons, and is designed to strengthen, renew and regulate all the functions of the skin. Each box contains 28 mini ampules which you gently pat on your face and neck. I looked forward to this nightly routine which was calming and relaxing and helped me to sleep better. I began to enjoy my super fast night routine and I immediately noticed that my skin didn't miss the heavy night creams. I also had the opportunity to test out the Moisturizing Mask which was completely different to any other mask that I have tried in that it didn't pull my skin tight, but instead imparted moisture in a gentle manner. I can honestly say that after using these products for the duration of a month, my skin is in the best condition that it has been and I received so many complimentary from colleagues. I highly recommend this skin care line"
