My 2PM Kick In The ‘Pants’ – Giving My Body The Healthy Energy It Needs

Betty — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 12:45:20 +0000

When most people learn of all the projects I’m managing, plus running my household which consists of my 3 guys (husband, teenager & tween), they all ask the same question … “how do you do it all?” I usually laugh and tell them I don’t do it all perfectly (which is really hard for this perfectionist) and my poor family suffers with unclean clothes and a messy house.

The fact is that I wake up about 6AM and feel like the energizer bunny on speed going from one thing to another… until 2:30 PM rolls around when my body and mind starts to slow down and feel like my day should be over. Sound familiar?

Well about 1-2 months ago that’s all changed. I’ve been drinking a Verve healthy energy drink daily from Vemma and WOW do I feel the difference!

I usually drink an 8oz can around 2 or 3 PM and it gives me the oomph I need without making feel jittery or nervous, nor do I feel a crash hours after. It’s like a little bolt of Cuban coffee, but healthier! Personally, I’ve never liked the energy drinks found in the stores because I feel they have too much caffeine, they just taste too sweet to me and give me a little bit of a head rush. I don’t feel any of those effects with Verve!.

Verve! Only has 80 mg natural caffeine and filled with 12 full spectrum vitamins and a juice blend of mangosteen, green tea and aloe (Managosteen is a delicious fruit found in SE Asia and is known for its super-antioxidants properties.) You can read the supplement details of Verve on Vemma’s website.

Vemma has the regular (which is my favorite) and the sugar free version which is perfect for those who are diabetic or just watching their sugar intake.

Take it from me and give your body the OOMPH it deserves with Verve! From Vemma!

By the way, my husband loves the tropical taste and how it helps him feel revitalized and more aware, which is pretty important for a director of emergency management!

Enjoy!

Cereal in a cup is easy and convenient

Betty — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:07:00 +0000

I was visiting my sister for the past 2 weeks, who I may add is the queen of convenience. She needs to be as she has a 60-90 minute commute to work each day!

She turned me on to these Kellogg’s Cereal in a Cup! At first, I thought it was a little wasteful, but now I’m hooked. It’s not like I eat cereal every single day, but these are really convenient for those ‘on the run’ days. Plus, these are the healthier selection too.

So… give these Kellogg’s Cereal in a box a try! Enjoy, Betty

Rita Heikenfeld’s reader asked, what is Bijol and how do you get it. Posted on her blog is the information about Bijol, a spanish yellow food coloring, or what we sometimes call – “poor man’s saffron”. Check out the information at:

Military Wife creates heirloom aprons from old BDU (Camouflage) uniforms

Betty — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 17:26:00 +0000

One of my friends (an incredible fellow cooking enthusiast), Brooke Borke, is a military wife of 11 years, who’s currently stationed in the Washington DC area with her husband who’s serving in the United States Air Force.

FreedomsHero.com started when Brooke realized the demand for creative ideas using old/retired BDU (camouflage) uniforms. Starting with her husbands’ own retired BDU’s and her first sewing machine in her dining room, her vision became a reality. She designs and creates CUSTOM REVERSIBLE apron that is duly functional, and of heirloom quality for generations to come.

“Imagine a child wearing an Heirloom Apron years from now of their great granddaddy’s who served in a foreign war.” – Brooke Borke

Heirloom aprons are created by using your old BDU blouse, personalized name tapes and unit patches. The backside of the apron is fully lined with branch specific fabrics, and she’s able to completely reconstruct the BDU into a one-of-a-kind Heirloom Apron, something meaningful to the recipient.

Heirloom Aprons have brought comfort to spouses and parents while their loved ones are deployed. At the same time they make great retirement and farewell gifts.

FreedomsHero.com can also make an apron from military approved fabrics when you don’t have your own BDU.

To learn more on how you can have your own heirloom BDU apron, visit http://www.freedomshero.com/ and don’t forget to tell Brooke you heard about it from Betty Hakes! I won’t get any money, but I will get a big thanks from a good friend.
