Comment: I was sent product. Opinions are 100% my own

Remember your cereal milk as a kid? It was the best part of the meal! Whether you liked the fruity, chocolate or cinnamon cereals you would love to recreate that taste in a less-sugary way. obvi has done that in their collagen supplement mix!

I am not a fab of cinnamon, I do not like cinnamon cereals and only can tolerate a very mild hint of it perhaps in breads, etc.. I was actually a tad reluctant to think that drinking the obvi Cinna Cereal could be pleasant. I may not like cinnamon, but it was mild and was fantastic as a coffee flavor!

Super Collagen

You can use the collagen in smoothies, beverages, oatmeals and even bake with it. Visit the obvi recipes for more great ideas to sneak collagen into your daily diet.

3 All natural supplements and vitamins that keep your kids healthy

3 All natural supplements and vitamins that keep your kids healthy

Last year was brutal. Our youngest had a sinus infection, colds a few times and even got Type A flu with 2 other classmates who also tested positive and they were vaccinated! This year is good so far except I already have co-workers with head colds so it is starting.

When Anthony came home last week to say many kids were not in his classes because they called in sick I broke out the supplements and there are 3 I keep close by – Elderberry Gummies, Nature Nose Beast and Immune Boost.

It is important that our supplements do not contain synthetic ingredients. Anthony’s natural supplements come from JoySpring. I have been pitched and researched on my own many supplement and vitamin brands and I narrowed it down to JoySpring. I just love the natural, organic and allergen free formulas. While typical immune boosters for kids contain synthetic ingredients or chemicals, their immune support liquid is 3rd party tested and safe for infants, toddlers & growing kids.

You may wonder why I have Elderberry and Immune Boost. The difference in these two are that the Elderberry Blend+ drops contain Organic Elderberry, Mullein Leaf, Marshmallow Root, Angelica Root, Orange Peel, Calendula Flower. Immune Boost drops contain Organic Echinacea Purpurea Root, Oregon Grape Root, Lemon Peel, Thyme Leaf, Black Walnut Hull.

The way I use these 3 supplements is that everyday Anthony gets the Elderberry Gummies or drops as maintenance germ fighting. Then when allergy season hits he gets the Nasal Nose Beast drops as well. I use the Immune Boost in place of our Elderberry when I know he is exposed to germs, kids in class sick or we are sick, for a powerful germ-fighter against live viruses.

I would also use the Immune Boost and Elderberry together near the Holidays or finals at school because JoySpring supplements and vitamins are ok to mix and he is 11 so his older age means we can up dosage a bit. With Elderberry power and the Immune Boost (Echinacea) power he is really covered. I do space each out am and pm so he is not taking too much at a time for his stomach’s sake.

While my son has sinus issues I love that they have Nature Nose Beast drops that are a blend of Elderberry, Elecampane Root, Lungwort Leaf & Astragalus Root to fight allergies, congestion and inflammation. JoySpring says that the ingredients are widely considered the safest homeopathic remedy, these respiratory herbs can also be used to loosen congestion caused by seasonal colds, the flu & other illnesses that affect breathing. Just 2-3 drops per day by mouth or mixed into food/drink.

The end of this season will tell for sure if we can stay healthier this year. For now, he is going strong in his first year at Middle School. You can find even more than the 3 supplements options I recommended by visiting JoySpring and stocking up for the upcoming seasons.

Headleveler’s Custom Travel Cervical Pillow

Erin Sluka

I gave my gender, desired size (I chose travel), height, weight, shoulder shape, preferred sleep position, preferred firmness, mattress type and turns out I am a Medium Model #21 cervical pillow! What model are you?

Taking the quiz is quick and you will get the exact pillow that is right for you. I love the travel size, the pillow case designs (extra) and carry bag so it can stay formed and clean as I travel. You can get all you need to take this custom pillow on the road (or air) with you. Or, get a larger size to keep at home.

I have a slipped disc in my neck and when it flares up I get severe pain in my neck and shoulder and even have my neck seize at times. It is so painful and I feel that pain the most if I use the wrong pillow.

Also, look how well this pillow can blend into your bedding with the fun cases available! Cervical pillows don’t always have to be ugly monsters on your bed. The Headleveler pillowcases are so pretty and come in dark and light shades.

My sleep? Amazing! You can spend a fortune on several pillows until you find the right one so I had to give this one a few nights to judge. The quiz I took really has me confident this is the right pillow for me. The firmness is spot on for my liking and the support is exactly what my neck requires.
