I am a serious beer drinker. Don’t get me wrong; I still appreciate a nice glass of wine, or some type of premium hard liquor too. But, there is just something about a cold bottle of beer that just cannot be beaten by any other drink. Participating in the Monthly Micro Brew Club, I am able to taste some not so typical flavors from various parts of the country. If you are looking to try something new and exciting, the beers featured in this micro brew monthly club range from Montana to Maine and from lagers to ales. From 1 month memberships up to a full year, every shipment includes a 12 pack of 4 different varieties of beer as well as a copy of the newsletter Beer Expeditions. This magazine outlines the specific beers you receive, as well as their history, insights on future brews, and potential discounts off of upcoming memberships. This is a great idea to buy for yourself or as a gift for another, but keep in mind that you need to be 21 or older in order to participate in the Monthly Micro Brew Club!

One of the most important ways to achieve peak health and conditioning is doing exercises that increase balance, agility, and core strength.

Who doesn’t remember the Reebok Pump? Back in the day, this shoe was the coolest footwear you could slip on when rocking through the elementary school hallways. Unbelievably, these kicks are back with the Reebok Lifestyle Pump Omni Lite. This pair is actually a part of Reeboks Special Edition Court Collection, and features none other then that little bball style tongue pump for a truly custom fit. For additional comfort and breathability, the Reebok Lifestyles incorporate all-soft leather upper as well as a molded sock liner for extra cushion and durability. Reebok Pump Omni Lites also use a molded midsole in order to increase padding without creating additional weight. Cleary “The Pumps” by Reebok are for style points only, but if you are trying to test these on the court, you will actually find that the high abrasion outsole provides more than enough traction and durability for the full court press. This particular pair is offered in white/neon blue/paprika, and black/vibrant violet alternating colors.
The Reebok Pump shoes can be found at a discount at these current stores.

Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with naturally clear skin. Some of us need a little help in that department, and lucky Avon has just the product. Their new easy to use 3-step Clearskin Acne Treatment is clinically proven to be just as effective as the popular Proactive System, yet costs a fraction of the amount. Seeing drastic results in only 3 days of use, the Avon Clearskin treatment uses a deep pore cleansing scrub to exfoliate the skin, clarifying toner pads to smooth and relax the facial tissue, and then a daily correcting lotion that visibly minimizes pores and reduces surface oil. Avon has made this product an easily affordable acne treatment for those people who are faces with the daily struggle of excess oil and facial blemishes. The Clearskin Professional Acne Treatment can be used on regular and sensitive skin, and is the perfect alternative to prescription facial scrubs, which cost a substantial amount of money. Take it from the people who have used this Avon acne treatment before, as it has gotten a five star review!
The Avon Clearskin Acne Treatment can be found at these sites at a great discount.

As important as it is to exercise the body, a person is only truly fit after being able to center the mind. The Gaiam Namaste Yoga Kit is a healthy and natural way to keep the mind, body, and spirit in a perfect state of harmony. This eco-friendly yoga kit includes a textured/non slip yoga mat, a 70 min. CD full of tranquil tones and songs, and, a 100% cotton yoga mat bag with strap and mesh pocket for storage. I find the pocket to be particularly useful for carrying along cd’s, mini weights, keys, etc. to yoga class, because the mind can concentrate on mediation, and not on lost or stolen goods. This particular Gaiam Yoga mat also helps aid in the practice, because it measures 68in. long by 24in. wide. This means it will give even people of height the ability to enjoy the 1/8 in. thick cushion when doing extremely difficult yoga positions. Like every other Gaiam yoga product, the Namaste kit was made for the individual who believes in pursuing environmentally sound practices, and who wishes to create a sound mind, body, and harmonious way of life.

If you are like me and have sensitive skin, shaving your face with a straight edge razor could be a pretty painful experience. It seems as if I spend more time trying to find the right sensitive skin shaving cream then I do actually shaving. Yet all the time I am left with nicks, cuts, red irritated skin, or bumps. The Braun Series 7 Pulsonic Shaver is a great alternative for people who find that disposable blade razors are just not cutting it. Pulsonic technology means 10,000 microvibrations per minute gently cutting away any and all unwanted facial hair. Braun also incorporates a “power comb” which will lift problem hairs (i.e the ones that lay flat to the skin) up for a perfectly smooth face everytime. This addition, as well as the inclusion of gillete blade technologies, allows the braun 7 series to do more of a cutting job with less strokes, pulling, and irritation. For the college student who is not exactly concerned with a high maintenance product, the series 7 pulsonic shaver self cleans with the touch of a button, as well as lubricates, dries, and recharges.

Why didn’t they have the Dorm mini fridge and warmer combo when I was in school? Instead, I got stuck with having to purchase a separate mini fridge and microwave for my room, which left me with 0 extra surface space. The 12 Liter portable mini fridge cooler warmer is the ideal solution for any student with limited space, but who has a big hunger. It can hold up to 15 cans of soda or 4 wine bottles or what ever combo of drinks and snacks you can think of. As an environmentally friendly appliance, the mini fridge uses advanced semi conductors (i.e no liquid refrigerants) to cool items down to 32 degrees, or warm them up to a nice 150F with the touch of a button. It works without any type of condensation build up, and the locking latch will create a perfect seal against the possibility of hot/cold air loss. The highly compact dorm mini fridge sits 17″x11″x12″ and is meant for regular electrical sockets, yet comes with an adapter for car/boats/cigarette lighters for ultimate portability. The 12 Liter mini fridge and warmer is perfect for a discreet way of storing (and warming) food in small offices, dorm rooms, home/bedroom, or for on the go travel.

Let’s face facts, it is very difficult for a woman to find the proper daily facial product. Especially in a situation if you have light or sensitive skin (like me), it is important to have a skin care product with natural ingredients, that is also affordable. It was during this search that I came across Dr. Hauschka Toned Day Cream. This light texture skin care moisturizes your skin when used daily, and has an extremely soothing and comforting effect on your skin. Even if you are using additional face care items, you are still able to apply Dr. Haushka’s day cream over your original toner or basic moisturizer. The major advantage of the Dr.’s Toned Day Cream is that it will not plug up your pores like other foundations which have various chemicals. Instead, the light beige toner day cream leaves your skin with a very natural and healthy tanned after glow. This special facial care product will also help to soften out skin irregularities (i.e marks or wrinkles), without disrupting the natural color of your skin. Many of my European female friends love the Dr. Haushka product line because of its emphasis on natural beauty. Dr. Hauschka’s Toned Day Cream is for normal, dry and sensitive skin and comes in a 30g/1oz tube.
This specific line of women’s beauty supplies is offered at a few different locations with very competitve prices.

On my most recent trip to Europe, I had quickly become less the free spirit jet-setter (due to a layover at Heathrow airport), and more like a greasy bum due to the hours waiting for a plane. I wanted to freshen up (actually I needed to freshen up) and knew Prada made some very nice Women’s infused perfume. Well, with airport security so ridiculously high now, unfortunately I was left without any of my personal fragrances. Perhaps it is out fear that people would smell to good on the plane?! Regardless, I decided to freshen up by perusing the discounted women’s perfume testing aisles at the Duty Free Shop. But what to choose from? At first I was easily overwhelmed by this array of scent invasion, as it seemed like one brand was fighting the next for my attention. Then I saw a classy see-through flacon by Prada and I was instantly intrigued. Prada Infusion D’Iris is an extremely unique fragrance for women. The notes include iris, cedar, a splash of frankincense, and a hint of floral orange and mandarin blossom for a mystical oriental touch. Of all the places to go, it was London’s airport which had been the place to discover this sensual, fresh, and passionate scent. Smitten and sprayed, I chose the lovely 50ml/1.7oz Eau De Parfum Spray, which was then promptly sealed by the friendly British duty free employee.
Prada Infusion D’Iris is a lovely scent which can be purachsed (at Heathrow) or through a variety of discounted retailers including,

The changing of the seasons can be an absolute disaster to a person’s complexion.

Healthy Dieting is not always the easiest thing to do. In fact, it may seem a little easier (and therefore better) to go on a “crash diet” or take a “diet in a pill”, which may take off weight faster than other means. This is not a healthy way of loosing weight! The fact remains that once you are done with these systems, weight will jump right back on, and besides who really even knows about the health risks associated with such things. What a healthy diet consists of is exercise, and healthy foods. For this reason, Doctors have conferred and created a weight loss plan known as Bistro MD. As seen on the Dr. Phil show, Bistro MD is a weeklong food plan, which has an emphasis on tasty gourmet style platters, without the fat, salt, and calories associated with most of our diets. These food plans will consist of 3 square meals a day (with or without snacks), for either a full 7 days, or a 5-day workweek. Bistro MD’s healthy dieting plan will incorporate foods like BBQ chicken, Beef Stir Fry, Chicken Teryaki, Grilled Ahi Tuna, North Atlantic Pollock, and much more! It is time to realize that you are able to eat healthy, and loose weight the healthy way with Bistro MD.

If you are a “green minded” individual, there is no better way to show it then by using Seventh Generation Products. Environmentally conscious, this company offers a wide variety of household goods that are extremely Earth friendly. Take the 2-ply paper towels for example, which consist of 100% recycled paper and are whitened with an environmentally sound process (and safe for compost).

Sometimes it takes more than just a nice foundation to have the appearance of youthful skin, sometimes it takes a touch of science. The Borba Skin Care with HD illuminating Crystals incorporates the best technology to create a facial cream light years beyond the rest. This skin care treatment actually uses prismatic micro diamonds to help resurface the skin but that is only stage 1! The second brilliant aspect of Borba is then the application of a plasma activator to create an exothermic reaction, helping to deep clean the pores even further. Heres is where the science comes in. As a result of micro crystals and plasma minimizing the look of pores (as well as natural ingredients such as rice hull powder), light is reflected off the skin in a different manner to give the appearance of flawless, luminous skin. This product is dermatologist tested recommended, and has been tested safe even for sensitive skin types. The Borba Skin Care has also gone without any animal testing and has been proven absolutely effective once used. See drastic results immediately with Borba!

Unfortunately as we get a little older, the collagen make-up of our skin begins to break down and eventually decrease, leaving us with wrinkles and age spots. The real tragedy however, is that many creams which aim to replace our natural collagen are not able to penetrate skin, and are therefore extremely ineffective. Hydroderm Facial Treatment is designed specifically with an “infusion Delivery System” for collagen molecules to penetrate facial tissue for a smooth, supple appearance. Along side of collagen, this cream also incorporates important proteins to help with an immediate firming, lifting, and toning of the wrinkled facial tissue. In many cases, all it takes is 21 days or less to see fantastic results in diminished fine lines and wrinkles, better tone, texture, and color! The Hydroderm Facial Treatment is an excellent way to add years back to your face, and to do it with a safe (non animal tested) cream.
