Rhonda Shear

I would like to thank Rhonda Shear for  giving me an opportunity to work with them by reviewing one of their items.  They sent me a package  containing their new catalogue, calendar with  inspirational quotes from successful women, a tote bag, and a Ahh Generation bra with removable pad. Rhonda Shear is a stand up comedian  and TV  personality who created a line for women which includes cosmetic,  fragrances, and under garments.  If you will browse the website, you will definitely find your "Ahh Moment" with their products.

The bra they sent me  has a full coverage seamless fabrication with a built in pocket to insert the  removable pads.  

I admire  Rhonda Shear  because she is a very down to earth person.  I sent a message through her Facebook Fan Page and she replied immediately and gave me the contact info to send my  inquiry.  So if you want to know a little more about her, like her fan page and get in touch with a  beautiful lady that full of wits and humor.  Thanks Rhonda Shear!

I will leave you with this quote from the calendar they sent me:

5 Post Workout Shakes With Just 5 Ingredients

After a workout, your body needs energy to rehydrate and refuel. If you don't eat within 30 minutes after your exercise regimen, you run the risk of overeating later on during the day. It's important to eat some protein to keep your muscles working to burn more calories. According to Livestrong, your body goes through a ton of burning and tearing during a workout. Your muscles are aching for some protein! That's why it's important for you to go through "recovery" mode immediately after a workout. How, you might ask? With a delicious protein shake, of course! Here are 5 super easy, and especially yummy, post workout smoothie that you can make with just 5 ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen!

1. Banana and chocolate shake

If you love chocolately bananas, then this shake is right up your alley! Pull out that blender and grab a small banana, or a cup of frozen bananas is you have them in your freezer. Next, you will need a scoop of chocolate whey protein powder. Add in a cup of crushed ice, half a cup of water, and sprinkle a zero calorie sweetener packet and blend away!

2. Peanut butter and banana smoothie

You will need about a half cup of vanilla yogurt, a tablespoon or two of peanut butter, one small banana or a cup of frozen bananas, a dash of milk and a few ice cubes. Blend it all up and enjoy this delicious smoothie to recover faster after your workout.

3. Fruity shake

If you aren't a huge fan of bananas but you love berries, then you will love this post workout shake! Grab a cup of raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, or whatever else kind of berries you love. Pour in about a quarter cup of orange juice, a half cup of nonfat frozen yogurt, a small dash of sugar (or a no calorie sweetener packet), and a cup of ice. You will instantly feel rehydrated and recovered after your workout with this delicious post workout shake.

4. Flaxseed, strawberry, and banana shake.

You might be thinking, "Flaxseed? Ew." But when you mix it together with the other ingredients, you won't even taste it! The best part? Flaxseed is so good for you! It ups your intake of omega-3 acids which help burn more fat. Yes, please! You will need a couple tablespoons of flaxseeds, half of a banana, half a cup of strawberries, a cup and a half of nonfat milk, and a cup of ice. Mix together and voila! You have a healthy and delicious post workout smoothie at your fingertips.

5. Honeydew and kiwifruit smoothie

If you are looking for something a little different, but just as fruity, you will love this honeydew and kiwifruit smoothie! Grab two cubes of honeydew, a small granny apple that will need to be cut up into tiny pieces, a kiwifruit that has been peeled, a couple spoonfuls of sugar, and a cup of ice. It's delicious and will instantly help your body recover from whatever  exercise regimen you just finished up.

Be the "FIT" Girl of Fashion through Ellie

Ellie  is a company that combine fitness and fashion in one.  They provide  high end fitness clothing  in a fashionable way.  I am blessed to become  one of their product ambassadors  which gives me  an advantage to  preview or have a sneak peek of their deals and latest  fashion updates.  I got this Kiss Me Capri ($54.95) and Tempt Me top ($39.95) for  FREE, just one of the  perks that you get for being an ambassador and I love them!  It fit snugly to my body  which really shows which  part of my  body I really need to focus on.  

When I work out and my daughter is home, she always participates with me.
She's really good in hula hoops and  jump rope.

The color perfectly matches the fitness  products that I got from Empower.  I am really   inspired to work out now because I have the things that I need especially that my treadmill  got broken.  I can now do  other fitness routine  without running in my treadmill.  What I like about the products I got from Ellie is the kind of material they used, it's very comfortable and soft.

As you can see, the tummy is my biggest problem, I am working on it.  It takes time.

A heartfelt thanks to my darling photographer Burrito.

Both of our kids are inspired to stay fit as they see both me and my husband  trying to stay fit.  Hubby is still trying to talk me into  working out with him in the gym but the thought of paying $680  a year  makes me say "NO" right away lol.  I have all I need here at home  so why pay if I can do it here.  I understand what hubby is trying to do, he wants us to have a FIT" date at the gym hehehe.  Oh well, at least I can  stay with the kids while he goes to the gym, we won't need anyone to  watch them.  Sometimes, you just have to give up something in order to get something, would you agree?

5 most expensive iPhone cases

For those of us who have a bit more spare cash laying around there are some really cool iPhone cases available that really say ‘ I've got money’ and to own one of these babies, you’ll need to have the cash to back it up. These custom iphone covers are limited editions, and not the sort that you’ll want to identically leave laying around. To make a really good impression on that first date, one of these babies says that you are a person who knows how to spend their money.

Here are 5 of the most expensive iPhone cases.

Crystal Rock

Everyone loves crystals, and there has been a lot of talk about how great they can be for all different kinds of purposes. The Crystal Rock iPhone 5 case, is studded with Swarovski crystals and is one of the most expensive cases on the market. Your friends will need to wear sunglasses if you decide to choose this one as your case, because it is as sparkly as about 20 disco balls all put together!

The Gold and Black iPhone case

The Gold and Black iPhone 5 case is so expensive that you might need to take out insurance on it if you get one of these! While it’s not the most expensive case available it’s pretty close. If you've got a spare $5000 laying around the rose gold and white model is the most gorgeous of the two, or for $500 less you could get yourself the yellow gold and black version. Its flashy without being too gawdy and just screams out class!

Incase Leather iPhone case

You can’t really go past leather for durability and comfort, or at least that’s how it goes with jackets and shoes. This case, while not the most expensive on the market, is one that will be catching the eye of people all over the place as you whip it out to make a call. Because leather improves with age, this case just keeps getting better and better the longer you have it.

Plain from Grove

The Plain from Grove iPhone case is one of the coolest iPhone cases around, and while its expensive, it won’t break the bank. This unique case is made out of wood and the folks at Plain from Grove will sculpt the wood into any design that you want, so get drawing and work out what you want to have on your case. You won’t find anything as unique as this so splash out and get yourself something that will be a one-off design, of your choosing!

Natural Sapphire Company iPhone 5 case

This is one of THE most expensive iPhone cases ever! In fact, if you happen to have the $100,000 laying around to get yourself one of these then you may as well throw in a bodyguard to look after it for you. Made from 200 carats of natural blue Ceylons, 18karat of white gold, 38 real rubies and natural green sapphire for the Apple logo, this is an iPhone case fit for a king, or queen!

Zaggora.. Let's Get Hot!

It's inspiring to see that a lot of Mommy bloggers are taking the challenge to get fit this year.  Every blog that I visit is  doing a fitness  workout  to shed off some  unwanted  fats and  get fit.  I did  my work out last year but I lack motivation so I slacked off and did not  achieve the result that I was hoping for.  I am so inspired by so many women this year that I am doing my part religiously even though it meant a lot of body aches  lol.

Anyhow, I just want to thank  Zaggora for sending me this Hot Top  to review all the way from UK.  It is a perfect match for the  work out pants that I got from a different company.  I wear this top whenever I do my squats, sit ups, jump rope, or doing my hula hoops.  It's a very comfortable   work out  top that you could   wear.  It has a unique blend of celu-lite technology enhanced neoprene and ice cool sports, I am really pleased  with the quality of materials and how well it is made!

I am so glad that the weather is getting warmer, I can do my routines outdoor.

Zaggora  offers  a variety of  fitness  clothing  which includes Full Body Blazer, this is what I would like to have so  I can do my  run during fall.  They also have Hooded Body Blazer, Coola Bra, Hot Pants Capri, and Hot Pants Shorts.  Aside from that, they also  sell comfortable and cool clothing.  The  Top that I got  cost $80 which I think is about right for the price because it is a high end  clothing  with  extra   special feature.  

Zaggora is are challenging  fitness buffs to  join their 2-week challenge where you  have to wear your Zaggora clothing for 30 minutes while running, walking, doing, zumba, or working out in the gym.  At the start  of the challenge, you have to measure yourself  (hips, thighs  and tummy) and after two weeks, you have to measure yourself again  and share your results at FB.COM/Zaggora and you can win some prizes.  

Tell me if you didn't smile at these photos..  My ornery  Oof pup wanted to be in the scene Lol.

 You can check out more details about their challenge by liking their page at Facebook and  see  what everyone is up to.  It's a great idea to challenge ourselves once in a while especially if it would benefit our body and  quality of life in the long run.  Thank you so much once again Zaggora for providing me your high end  fitness clothing.  I'd love to have more (lol).  Okay ladies, let's get hot with Zaggora!

I'd like to thank my 7 year old daughter for taking the photos, luvya Anak!
