Happily Blended Product Reviews, Giveaways, and tales from a Mommy Blogger of three - Part 29

Working on BIG Things

May 17th, 2010 · 7 Comments · parenting

I am working on some BIG things …. multiple big things … therefore I am here, there and everywhere. Stay tuned for 12pm EST so that you can read DR FITNESS’ blog post, he is always writing a great article to share here.

I spent my weekend cleaning the yard, it looks amazing. Been so behind on taking care of my lawn and landscaping or whatever you want to call it that it’s so behind. Now that I am finally getting to catch up I am excited to maintain it!

I have been busy with client work during the week so haven’t been sitting down to write weekly blog posts and schedule them as was my previous habit. Hopefully soon I will be back and better than ever with new articles to help you get blogging, working from home and hopefully some great giveaways too for those who love chances to WIN!

For now … I have to focus on family and working because those are the two most important things that need some attention.

What did you all do this weekend?

Do You Have Business Insurance?

May 13th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Work At Home Support

Every business owner needs to look into getting a business insurance quote because it’s a liability not to have some form of insurance for your business. Depending upon what state you are in there may be requirements for your business to be insuraned so if you are in NY you will want to search to get a New York business insurance quote.

Let’s say you are looking for home owners insurance, which most recently provided me some help when a tree fell on my house. Then if you are in a state like, let’s say, California you are going to want to search for a quote for California home insurance. There are so many easy ways to get insurance quotes now with the Internet providing a wealth of information at the tips of your fingers!

Having insurance for your home and/or business means that you are protected and others who visit your business or home are protected should something unthinkable happen. A simple slip and fall at your house could cost you a lot of money in a lawsuit if you don’t have the proper home owners insurance. Most people dislike paying insurance premiums because if you are like me then you are paying each month or quarter for something that you really never use, but if you think about it in a positive way you will realize that the premium you are paying will pay for itself should that unthinkable situation happen!

Questions for thought: Do you have home owners/renters insurance or business insurance? Did you use the Internet to research for your local area to find the best possible insurance and price possible?

Bloggers Be Forewarned

May 13th, 2010 · 11 Comments · Blogging Support

I was sitting around on Facebook yesterday when I saw a new blog post pop up from Trisha Haas, you know the woman over at MomDot who is always in on the news and happenings in the bloggy world. You may love her, hate her or have your own in between personal opinion about Trisha, but as a VIP Member of her MomDot Forum I have seen who she is and think she is a very supportive person.  After reading the post on her blog I just wanted to share the information with my readers as it’s something that pertains to all bloggers, we all need to know about what happened to Emily from Busy Mommy.

It appears that someone may be using your information to gain access to free products for review, however, the way that this person did it was totally unacceptable, fraudulent and just absolutely appalling in my personal opinion.

A person may be pretending to be an employee of your blog to contact PR people on your behalf in order to gain access to free products. As most of you know I am a product review blogger, yes I receive free products from your low priced children’s products to higher priced adult products. I do not have any employees, the only contributor I have on my blog is a weekly guest blogger for my Fitness category. Other than my occasional guest blogger or weekly contributor, DR FITNESS, no other person writes on this blog. Also no other person reviews products for Happily Blended.

This may change in the future, I may add some of my family members to my review team, such as my father and/or step mother but at this time if a PR Contact doesn’t get an email directly from brandyellen@happilyblended.com or brandytanner81@gmail.com then they can have a right to question whether the email is real or not. At times I may have other people use my name for a reference, but unless I have been CC’d in or you have confirmed I am referencing this person then please do not consider it to be a real email based on my personal reference.

Please head on over to read Bloggers, is someone using your name to get products? So that you can read the personal story about what happened to Emily.  Consider yourself forewarned!

Question for Thought: Has this ever happened to you on your blog? Please share your story with the world so we can all work together to support each other and get rid of these frauds!

The Belly Burner Product Review

May 12th, 2010 · 10 Comments · fitness

ProdGlamTransI am so excited to share with you a product called The Belly Burner that I have been using for a couple of weeks now if not a little longer as part of a way to help boost loss of my stomach fat while doing my daily EA Sports Active workouts. I must admit this product is amazing! I tested it out by measuring my waist area on Day 9 of working out and on Day 11 I found that I had lost 2″ more than I normally would lose in two days of working out alone! Now who knows if this will be everyone’s results, all I have to base the results on are my personal experience.

ThermoTestWhen you use The Belly Burner with your daily workouts, walking, hiking or whatever time you feel the need to wear it above or below your clothing you can see in the above images that The Belly Burner increases your thermal core temperature which means more fat is being burned while you workout!

Washing Instructions: The Belly Burner is machine washable but not able to be used in the dryer. About once a month for frequent users washing is recommended and for other users you can simply water rinse and air dry after every use!

About The Creator: Bobby Waldron has been involved in fitness his entire life, first as a champion wrestler and later as a personal trainer and Hollywood stuntman. Most recently he has trained celebrities including Orlando Bloom, Milla Jovovich, Skeet Ulrich, Debbi Mazar and Carlos Mencia. He developed the Belly Burner Belt for everyone after using a similar system with his celebrity clients.

Where to Buy: The Belly Burner Belt comes in either medium or large and is available online at www.thebellyburner.com for $39.90. If ordered online the package includes Bobby’s Blazing Abs Training DVD, the At-A-Glance Calorie Counter, and Bobby Waldron’s Exercise and Food Journal Meal Planner and Nutrition Log to help you get started lose those unwanted inches

The belt can also be found at Walgreen’s nationwide, as well as Sports Authority, CVS, Target and Amazon.

My Personal Opinion: I think this is a must have for anyone who has a mid section problem, after having three children, two of which only 2 years apart I have found my stomach area is the most troublesome area for me and I know this will help me reach my goal of tightening my abs faster than working out alone. I would recommend this to you as I have seen results using it on my own time. I can’t guarantee the same results as I have had but I can tell you this has worked wonders for me!

You can “Like” The Belly Burner on Facebook to keep up with their current news!

Disclosure: I received The Belly Burner for free as a way to help me test drive the product thoroughly and share my personal opinion with my readers. All opinions set forth above are based on my personal experience with The Belly Burner and are 100% that of my own.
