Recommend?: Maybe worth a try









NuElle contains top 20+ well known botanical cellulite fighting ingredients. It does have diuretic efect so it shouldn't be used while pregnant. The idea is that NuElle will improve circulation, reduce water retention, and reduce the appearance of cellulite overtime,

The cream has a light texture. It is easy to apply, feels nice going on, and absorbs quickly. The scent is strong at first, but fades quickly. It says it creates a sauna effect, meaning you may produce more sweat in the area it's applied to, I did not experience this personally.

I'm not in love. I want to be...because check out this ingredient list..

...but I'm not. My skin is softer after use, but it's not visibly tight and smooth. Which is what I was hoping for. It seems that some people have fantastic results, though, so maybe it has more to do with me than the product? Who knows.

Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes Review








Title: Vegetarian Quick & Easy -
Under 15 Minutes
Author: Jonathan Vine
Genre: Cookbook - Vegetarian
Price: $3.50 on Amazon
Recommend?: Yes








Note, I am not nor do I intend to ever be a vegetarian. However, my kids and I aren't huge meat eaters. I tend to appreciate vegetarian dishes for their flavor and variety. Sometimes we add a little meat to them. Anyway, back to the book. I think this would be a great resource for a newbie vegetarian.

Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce

There are four sections in the book with recipes for busy mums, romantic meals, recipes that even kids can make and recipes for parties.. All sound very promising. Unfortunately for my little, quite a few of them have cheese, so we were a bit limited. Of the things that were left, several I have done before in a slightly different way, but didn't really think about. I found the introductions to the recipes a bit repetitive, but that's not terribly important anyway. The food is what matters, right?


Guacamole Bites
The recipes live up to the name...very quick and simple. Not a lot of prep or cleanup. Probably not my first choice, but good for a last minute forgot-about-dinner night.

REVIEW: Charlie the Cavalier


Charlie the Cavalier Begs for Attentions is a book for ages 2-6 that helps them cope with long distance. It was written by Lisa Rusczyk and Illustrated by Magdalena Takáčová.

Being Separated From Loved Ones Is Difficult for Children and Adults

Every child need to be left by a loved one at one time for another, no matter how much the loved one wants to be with their child.  When people are separated by space, children want to know that there family member loves them and will be there for them.  They may try to video chat with their loved ones but not be able to get the attention of small children.  Charlie the Cavalier teaches children that their loved ones are safe and allows them to interact with loved one though being entertained while skyping.


Charlie the Cavalier Begs for Attention gets kids excited to interact by teaching families how to sing, whistle, dance, play games, and more while video chatting.The Charlie the Cavalier puppet started with a little girl who did not want to Skype with her family members that did not live close to home.  She wanted to interact but there was nothing that sparked her interest.


Now the Charlie the Cavalier puppet and book brings friends, families, and little ones together to interact while they may not be in the same physical location.

The book explains how sometimes family or friends are far away, but they will be back. With the help of a free printable puppet, the book assures children that Charlie is keeping their loved one safe while they are away. Print it out on heavy cardstock or attach to a paper bag for best result. I think the puppet would be cute for the other party to take on "adventures" and take a snapshot together.




At this point, my 4 year old wasn't that interested, though she does often talk about our friends that live far away. It may just be that it was an ebook. The author IS planning to release it in print soon, however. I do really like the concept, the artwork is cute, the rhymes are ok, and the inclusion of the familiar Twinkle Twinkle and ABCs is great.

You can purchase your own copy of Charlie the Cavalier begs for attention on Amazon for $2.99, and don't forget the free printable is available on the website!
