WellnessDaily and their giveaway

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of wellnessdaily.com. All opinions are 100% mine.



I work with my weight constantly, I do yoga when I can, I run, use the recumbent bike and well... eat enough to make sure that I need to do all those things.

However my favorite exercise to do, is yoga. I love how it feels, I love the energy I get and I love it when my kids do it with me. I find that when the DVD goes into the player.. I get a ton of kids around me doing the same movements and feeling great after a half hour workout.

There are a ton of places you can get yoga videos, some of them seem to be so old that they are made from the 70's or you get some that are full of lively, happy and energetic yoga instructors. I don't want lively and energetic, I want calming, mellow and trained instructors. I found some new ones on a website today and that is not the only thing they have

*Healthy Snacks
*Behind the scenes of SELF
*Lowering bills (to get rid of stress)
*Exercise videos

www.wellnessdaily.com is a great resource to have at your finger tips, not only that, but we can all use new videos in our arsenal for a healthy lifestyle.

Heard on the PlayGround

I am fortunate enough to have 7 amazing kids that I get to share my life with.

They have made me so angry I could spit blood, I have sat on my bed and cried until my heart might break, I've spent many 8th grade graduation ceremonies with happy tears in my eyes...

However, my favorite moments with my kids.... are full of laughter.

I love to see the wit in a 5 year old, or the confusion of a 16 year old... no matter how old, they still have so much to learn.




Do you have a funny phrase? A story that you love to tell about your kid?
Do you just need a good laugh when days are not as smooth as you'd like them?

I found one... It's called
Heard on the Playground. It is full of funny photos, humerous phrases and anything you can think of for a good laugh and reminder that kids are.... kids.

Wanna know the one I put up today?

Kara, (When she was 7) Colorado

Mom: We will stop in BOISE City soon

Daughter: When do we get to GIRLSIE City?


Oh.. and a cool thing about Honthep?.... You can get your kids phrase put on a t-shirt, pretty cool huh??


~I did not get compensated for this. I just love the idea that when I have a bad day.. I get to go somewhere that I can laugh.~

Passion For Beauty Review/Giveaway

I wish I was a crafty person.

I have ideas of grandeur that do not come CLOSE to the idea, implementation and sell able treasures that so many of these Etsy people have.

I met another creative woman on Etsy a few weeks ago and was thrilled when she chose to have me show off some of her stuff, one of the coolest things... I got to personalize a set of earring.




Here is how it started:

1. Green shirt comes out of the closet, put on... and then.. the accessories.
2. Green Bracelet, greenish necklace.....
3. Earrings? Nope... none.


How I can I match without Green earrings?

Enter Buki from Passion for Beauty. She is a talented artist that is working hard to make the world a beautiful place, how can you go wrong with her works of art?

See what she made for me?



Aren't they PERFECT?

You are making an inventory of all your jewelry now aren't you. What would you get? What colors have you been missing and need to add to your jewelry wardrobe?

Ask Buki... she's magical and I love the way these earrings look, trendy, fun and perfect for a night out or just hanging out at work.

Wanna win something from Buki at Passion for Beauty?
You know you do... well Buki is offering one of Crunchy Green Mom's commenters a chance to win a set of earrings. Told you she was cool!
