Favorite Fabulous Friday!

Drum Roll... ADVOCARE! The best has yet to come! So Advocare has been picked for today’s topic.  What is Advocare? Advocare is a world class nutrition line that is AMAZING! From Energy to Muscle builders to just general nutrition, the entire product line is superb.

I have a couple of products that are my fav but I can’t speak enough about it. In this day and time, we do not get the nutrition we used to! Why? Well 1} because so many people are short on time or in a hurry so they buy processed foods at the grocery store. Golden Rule at the grocery store: Do not shop on the inside; meaning everything your body needs is on the outside of the aisles. When you start shopping the aisles that’s when you get into all the processed foods, high fructose corn syrup, etc. AKA: BAD THINGS and 2} we go through the drive thru.  Now don’t get me wrong I love CHICK-FIL-A, but when I eat it, I take it as a “treat” so therefore I don’t get it often… Ok maybe ever Saturday. J Still a treat though. So because of this our bodies need nutrition because obviously 80 % of the people are not getting it from foods these days.

Advocare is the solution. Check out their website, endorsers (who are non-paid) and medical and scientific board.. AMAZING!

And she said….. YES!

Normally on Friday, I write about “Fabulous Favorite Friday’s”; though today is special in the Claypool household. Today marks the two {2} year anniversary that L asked ME to be HIS wife; I can hear it now {awww}. J Yes it was a special day even though it was HOT, and in the Middle of Mud! J

So for all you hopeless romantics out there I’ll give you the brief story. The first of May, probably around 85-90* here in Arkansas {I can’t fully remember} at a lake here in town. I had just finished finals and L had taken the afternoon off. I knew he was up to something because he had “pretended to propose” to me a couple of times before. We had lunch and then headed for some golf. After golf we went to the lake for an hour and half walk thru the nature trails. Now by this time I was sweating {gross}, and all I really wanted to do was swing. J  On our way back we walked down to the water in a wooded area, he then began to tell me how much he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. As he went down on his knee to propose… {Girls I don’t recommend this} Ha! … I thought he was joking. J So I told him to get back up. Yes Seriously I said “get up… Why are you pretending again?” He then pulled the ring out of his pocket, and it looked a little bit more “Shinny then a fake ring” lol so at this point I KNEW he was FOR REAL! After he repeatedly asked me for an answer, I “obviously” told him YES! And I finally got to swing!!  We then told our families and ate a nice Italian celebration meal!!

My Ring

More Ring. HA!

So L and I only knew each other for 4 1/2 months before we got engaged, but I wouldn’t change a thing. We have been married for 209 days as of today! J I never thought it would happen so quickly, but so thankful it did. I thank God for him Everyday, the Man that he is, the Man that he is becoming and the Father he will become some day. God has blessed me so much and continues to bless US everyday, and I thank God that I am able to “borrow” L while on Earth! We are BEST FRIENDS, we LAUGH together all the time, and we make the BEST out of every situation. I can’t wait to celebrate 50 years together.

Right after we were engaged!

I am blessed!

Fabulous Favorite Friday: Tom’s Of Maine

Fabulous Favorite Friday: Tom’s Of Maine

So guess what… It’s FRIDAY and that means it’s Favorite Friday! Today I’m spotlighting Tom’s of Maine, another great “Green” product, in which I love.

What is Tom’s of Maine?

1.       Our Reason for Being: It’s a worthwhile challenge to run a responsible business, and our Reason for Being helps keep us focused on what really matters.

2.       Stewardship Model: From choosing ingredients to designing a package, our Stewardship Model sets the standards we strive to uphold with every decision.

3.       No Animal Testing: We believe that both human beings and nature have inherent worth and deserve our respect, that's why we never test on animals.

4.       Committed to Transparency: Since 1981, we've proudly shared our ingredients along with their purpose and source so you'll know the goodness you're getting.

Environmental Practices: Thoughtful citizens of our natural world.

5.       Sourcing: Our ingredients represent our ideals – no animal testing or animal ingredients, with the living planet in mind. It takes a little extra effort, but it's worth it.

6.       Manufacturing: How we manufacture is just as important as what we manufacture. Discover our environmentally sensitive facilities, technologies and recycling efforts.

7.       Packaging: Tom's of Maine products and packaging are designed in accordance with our Stewardship Model and their sustainability and recyclability are actively reviewed in the process.

8.       Laminate Tube: In 2011 Tom's of Maine began packaging its toothpaste in plastic "laminate" tubes rather than

9.       Gimme 5: The Preserve® Gimme 5 program can recycle your Tom’s of Maine deodorant containers into new household products like razors and toothbrushes.

My Favorite Product:

Tom’s of Maine: Anti-Plaque and Whitening Fluoride- Free 

“At Tom's of Maine that means we use authentic natural ingredients. We use zinc citrate sourced from zinc - a naturally occurring mineral and xylitol, a natural ingredient derived from birch trees or corn. Plus, natural flavoring for a taste that will make you look forward to brushing! Fluoride-free formula: Some people do not want fluoride in their toothpaste. We produce this toothpaste without fluoride because we respect our customers' diverse needs and interests.”

I recommend everyone trying out this product. It taste great, smells great, gives you great breath, and is relatively inexpensive and available at Wal-Mart Stores!  I LOVE IT and I'm sure you will too.

Have a Fabulous Friday!
