Xylitol is a sweetener substitute for anyone who wants to avoid their use of ordinary table sugar. We prefer Xylitol (from birch trees) instead of other popular alternatives that do not digest well or have an unpleasant aftertaste.

To our palate, Xylitol is the perfect taste equivalent of table sugar. It’s great for lemonade or sprinkled over tart fruit – we always keep a couple of these convenient single serve packets handy.

Smaller boxes of Xylitol are available at Amazon if you want to try it out, or if the large box is out of stock.

Wow! What a difference this massage gun has made in my life! I have been a weightlifter for years and have always struggled with large, painful muscle knots that I couldn’t work out with massage, foam rollers or recovery sticks. I researched options and learned that massage guns are used by athletes for workout recovery…..found I could own my very own massage gun at a reasonable price through Amazon.  I use the massage gun just a few minutes a day AT HOME and the pain and knots are gone….my massage gun is always ready to work on my knots, doesn’t complain that I need to use it every day and costs nothing but the electricity to charge it after my initial purchase. The Sokiss Massage Gun continues to be an excellent choice. 

Don’t buy the wrong wallet cover for your cellphone!

These products are a “custom fit” to the exact model of cellphone you own. But, if you have just upgraded your phone you will need a new case. It may be time for you to try my favorite style,

The wallet style makes it easy to keep a license or ID card, a credit card and a little cash together with your phone. Pick that up and your keys and you have the basics that you need to leave the house!

Each case is custom designed for the exact model of phone you own, If you would prefer a different color, check out this link and browse the options that are available.

Tens stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation. I have heard about them for years and saw (an expensive one) when a family member used one to help with knee pain.

Well, they have come a long way in the past few years! Recently, a family member developed pain, swelling and carpal tunnel in a hand/wrist. After asking a physical therapist if a TENS unit would be of potential benefit, I ordered the TechCare Massager Tens Unit Plus 24 Rechargeable Electronic Pulse Massager Machine.

It is like having your own personal acupuncturist at your beck and call 24/7….in a small, rechargeable “box”! Easy to set up, lots of good instructions and pictures to help place the electrode pads, charge in the lithium battery lasts HOURS and it says lifetime warranty. Best of all, we have seen a reduction in the swelling and pain at a very reasonable unit purchase price.

This has been a great, effective do-it-yourself  treatment to use.

I love excellent food….and excellent food begins with excellent ingredients, including the spices. I feel so fortunate to have found Spicewalla spices (even before Oprah put them on her favorite things list). Spicewalla spices are created from generations of knowledge of how best to produce, procure and blend the spices….and you can feel and taste their unique essence and love in each tin. How did I find them? I attended a “meet the artist” event and found myself overcome with  the amazing, complex, rich, exotic smell of spices coming from the adjacent building space….which happened to be Spicewalla’s home. I walked inside their  retail area and soaked my senses in what I then learned were the spices used by the best of chefs and available to me and you at Amazon!
