Low fat, low calorie, filling, Cake-like, sprouted bread,yeast free bread,vegan organic bread, free of salt, no oils, no sweeteners, no leavening agents! You have to try them to appreciate how delicious they are! AND I am pleased to introduce to you- Manna's Kale Chips- available in a variety of delicious varieties. Keep reading for a full review. 


MANNA BREAD® is remarkably simple and wholesome, made entirely from sprouted organic grains, seeds, fruits & nuts. It contains no salt, leavening, yeast, oil, or sweeteners. By fully germinating their grains, they convert the starches into easily digested natural complex sugars, similar to those found in fresh fruits, hence the sweetness. The sprouts are ground and hand-shaped into loaves, baked at a low temperature, then packed and frozen to preserve shelf life, without any chemical additives. The taste- unbelievable, seriously tastes like cake. Moist and filling and full of fruits, nuts, and whole grains! Perfect breakfast, snack, or guilt- free dessert. Manna Sprouted Breads are: salt free, 100% sprouted whole grain, delicious & moist, unleavened, high in fiber, flour free, contain no fats or oils,  no added sweeteners, yeast free, low glycemic index, and contain no artificial ingredients. So yummy, so filling, so good for you! I am in LOVE with Manna Organics breads!!!!!
I had the absolute pleasure of trying Manna Breads: Carrot Raisin and Fruit & Nut. The Carrot Raisin tastes like a carrot cake, moist & full of flavor. The Fruit & Nut is like a delicious fruity cake - whole almonds & big chunks of fruit in a super moist bread base make this an ideal pick-me-up snack any time of the day. 

Manna Kale Chips: are the IDEAL healthy potato chip replacement- crunchy, salty, and satisfying and available in a variety of flavors- you can really satisfy your snack cravings with these! I was able to try the Curry Bliss and the Pizza Margherita - oh my gosh- so GOOD! Crisp & filling these are the perfect answer to all your snack cravings. I love curry and the Curry Bliss was exceptionally good. And of course Im a pizza lover so the Pizza Margherita were so good! Even DH enjoyed them both and that is saying a lot. I was pleasantly surprised by the nutritional content: 1/2 a bag is only 3.5 grams of fat and 60 calories (Pizza Margherita)! Amazing. These will definitely be a staple in my pantry! If you have not yet tried the Manna Kale Chips- DO SO NOW! You will be hooked, just like me. Available in other yummy flavors such as Cafe Mocha and Say Cheese- there is something for everyones tastes!

Chris leads this 30 minute total body routine alone in a nice studio set, and provides plenty of modification options. You will need dumbbells for this classic HiiT workout- each exercise lasts for 20 seconds, followed by 10 seconds rest completed for 4 minutes followed by a 45 second rest. You perform 2 rounds of 4 exercises two times total, and then one final round of 4 different exercises.

After a warmup, exercises include: lunge & curl, travel squat hops & KB swings, side lunge & row, mogul tucks, 3 point pushups, fast feet jumps, curtsy & lat raise, skater, dip & punch, weighted squat hops, French press toe taps, and 180 squat jumps.


This is a high intermediate routine. Chris accomplishes a lot in a short amount of time, lots of great multi-muscle exercises get the heart rate up and get great strength work in. The added cardio moves, make this a great well rounded workout. Chris is an excellent lead- no wasted time, not rushed, and motivating & fun! I am really liking this set- perfect for those with only 30 minutes a day but want to get in a great workout. I received this dvd to review.

They offer excellent prices, superb customer service, and a HUGE selection of party products for kids and adults! If you are looking for party decorations, costumes, theme parties, party & costume accessories and more- check them out! You can get everythign you need to make your upcoming party a HUGE success! Their search option makes finding exactly what you need fast & easy, and their checkout process is seamless! Keep reading for a full review of my favorite Windy City Novelties products. Dont forget about their FREE SHIPPING on orders within the Continental U.S. on orders over $39! And the offer bulk discounts so if you need more- you will save!

I am hosting a rainbow & unicorn theme party this summer- this is an adult party (hehe) but of course it would be perfect for all those lovely little ladies out there that are celebrating a festive fairy tale party! While searching the Windy City Novelties site I found that they have a large variety of both unicorn and rainbow products! I had the pleasure of reviewing two awesome rainbow products, a cool table cloth and a fun rainbow fabric bunting. Check them out:

Rainbow Tablecover. This is made of high quality plastic- not those see through ones you can find at other party stores. This will definitly get quite a few uses and will hold up on my dessert table perfectly for my party. I absolutely love this tablecover and it will surely be noticed! I went to three different stores looking for something similar and couldnt find a rainbow tablecover. So I should have known- just head on over to Windy City Novelties for a great selection, great quality, and a great price!
Rainbow Fabric Bunting: THIS IS SO FREAKIN' COOL!!!! It is fabric- so this will get used over & over. I received the package last night and this is amazing: bright colors, high quality fabric, great length, and the adjustable drawstring ensures that it will fit wherever you hang it. I am going to hang it on the "bar" countertop area where we will set out the party food. Quick and easy set up but amazing look. I am thrilled about the way this looks! 


Here are a few of my favorite Unicorn items available from Windy City Novelties:

Unicorn Child Costume:  This is my absolute favorite unicorn costume I have found to date. I wish it came in my size. Its so funny! I love this one so much! All you mama's out there- keep this one in mind for Halloween which will be upon us soon! Your little princess will be so cute wearing this. And I bet she wont want to take it off. So fun and so cute! Very unique indeed. Windy City Novelties also has this in a pink unicorn, but I am partial to the white (though both are cute!)


Magical Unicorn Adult Costume: I love this costume so much because it comes with the fur leg warmers- perfect for the real unicorn look and feel. The leg warmers are so fun! And I bet they will keep you warm during the cold Halloween season. You could definitely add leggings to this if you are cold or for warmer climates (I live in the dessert) go with the costume as is for a super hot look! This costume comes complete with Unicorn Horn Headpiece, Dress, Tail, and Leg Warmers  - everything you need to be the hit of the party! Halloween or not, theme parties are the hottest trend.
