Try The Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer For Weight Loss
October 13th, 2018
One of the best ways to jump start one’s sedentary lifestyle is to carry a motivating device called a pedometer. It allows you see how much daily exercise you get in a normal day of work, including errands, trips to pick up the kids and other tasks. As a result, you can clearly see and measure the number of daily calories burned during your daily routine. Then you can add in specific workout sessions as needed to meet your weight loss goals. I suggest a pedometer that is sensitive enough to allow you to place it in your pocket, bag, purse or belt and yet it can stil track your daily exercise output. A nice feature for doing urban walking.
A pedometer called the Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer does just that and has some nifty features also. It comes standard with a large easy-to-read LCD display that can separately display aerobic steps connected to minutes walked. Plus it has a 7 day history so you can review your exercise week and it’s able to display calories burned, distance and also has a built in highly accurate clock. It can be fun to begin one day with the unit and then try to see if you can maintain or even beat your previous step record the next day. Give it a try as it’s getting rave reviews for weight loss help – you can do it!

The design of the unit is quite first rate, let me explain.
There’s a stabilizing dual knife assembly inside, so when you put down veggies or fruits, it aligns them to the cutter center so that the produce gets minced completely, which leads to maximum juice creation. Even the plug has a molded loop so that’s easy to unplug and plug back in. Another great feature is the large feed tube that can take large veggies or fruits like a whole small apple or carrots. Obviously a lot of thought went in to creating a seamless juicer work flow as clean up is completed within 5-10 minutes. Happy juicing!

Maxforce Ant Bait Effectively Eliminates Annoying Ant Colonies
September 14th, 2018
Along with nice weather summer also brings out in full force all those unwanted insects. Controlling ants is easy if you use Maxforce Ant Bait. Unlike spays or other traps that rely on killing only the ants that come in contact with the trap or spray, Maxforce allows the ants to carry the bait back into the nest to wipe out the entire colony. In three to five days you will see fewer ants. Application is simple as you apply the pea sized blobs of gel in places where you see ants foraging. The gel will attract the ants for approximately two weeks. For best results place the gel near the ants not directly on them and avoid placing in the middle of a trail of ants.
The gel may be used both indoors and outdoors. The ant gel is manufactured by Bayer and shown to be effective against many types of ants including Little Black Ants, Pavement, Cornfield and Argentine. The package comes complete with four 27 grams bottles and a plastic plunger to use in applying the gel.

OXO Balloon Whisk Is Perfectly Shaped To Provide Maximum Aeration
September 5th, 2018
When you need a whisk, wire whisks are more productive than plastic whisks. The Good Grips 11″ balloon whisk claims to offer ten wire loops which do not contact one another at any point, making it perfect whisk for whisking. The ergonomics of the whisk offer great abilities to whisk anything. With the larger stainless steel wires on the whisk, you can use it and clean it without it being a health risk because of leftover food. The balloon whisk is very sturdy and is the perfect medium size for eggs, gravy, or smaller items. It is safe to use in the dishwasher. This balloon whisk is well made, with ferrule joined seamlessly with the wires.
Because of this design, no food is trapped inside which makes the whisk easier to clean and alleviates the risk of rust. It has great seals at the base of the wires. This is particularly important because it keeps the whisk sanitary by alleviating the risk of pieces getting caught inside. The handle has a contoured grip which makes it easy to hold. It works well for baking, especially in larger quantities. Stainless steel looks better than rubber, with a good grip for continual whisking. The balloon shape allows the wires to adapt to the shape of the saucepan or the bowl in which it is being used. It is more viable than using a plastic kitchen whisk because it can go all around an internal surface which a plastic whisk cannot.

The Intex Pool Cover Will Protect Your Pool This Summer
August 28th, 2018
Want to enjoy a new inflatable pool but are discouraged by the bugs, leaves, and other muck that they attract? Don’t spend your time, energy and precious patience trying to craft a homemade cover from a tarp or other material. Check out this ready to go solution- an Intex Pool cover. The cover will fit snugly on 8’ diameter pools and does wonders to keep your water clean and free of debris. Gone are the days when you must dig out a net or venture in with your bare hands to get your pool ready to enjoy. Just pop the cover off and you are ready for fun. A unique feature of the pool is several holes on top of the cover.
A cover is not supposed to have holes, right? However, these serve to keep your cover from getting bogged down from rain and becoming too heavy to lift off. Many won’t understand or appreciate the design until they go to swim after a heavy rain and are able to lift off the Intex Pool Cover easily. With other covers, you might have to really bulk up at the gym to get it off! So, get ready to cool off in a clean pool and float away the stresses of the day!

OXO Kitchen Tool Set Includes The Important Everyday Kitchen Tools
August 22nd, 2018
If you have never moved into your own place before, you wouldn’t understand what a blessing the OXO Good Grips 15-Piece Everyday Kitchen Tool Set can be. The OXO set has everything you need to help you cook in your first kitchen (aside from pots and pans). The kit includes everything you could need for your kitchen and really simplifies the process of collecting that first batch of kitchen tools. Some of the tools included are a swivel peeler, ice cream scoop, potato masher, can opener, balloon whisk, spatula, meat tenderizer and pizza wheel. The stainless steel safe utensil holder is dishwasher and comes with a removable drip tray.
The most common compliment is the most expected, seeing as this tool set is named “The Good Grip.” Many people are impressed with how easy it is to hold these OXO tools while working with them, particularly the plane grater and the pizza cutter. Many people are also amazed at the overall value of the set. Each individual tool comes in at just under seven dollars each, which is far cheaper than what it would cost you to collect each tool individually. The biggest complaint about this OXO set is the small container that is included with it. It’s not able to effectively store all of the tools. This is a common complaint about many of the kitchen tool sets, including the popular Kitchen Aid 17 Piece Starter Set. Many have also complained about the cost associated with this set, but there is a price on quality.
