Nu Lean shakes - NO

My Chiropractor suggested that I try Nu Lean shakes; she said they were delicious and she had been doing it herself. So, I paid $180.00 for the first months' worth of shake materials and couldn't get passed the grassy stuff floating in the shake. There is a detoxifying drink too and that wasn't hard to do, but I couldn't do the main part, which was the weight loss shake. I know I am kind of picky, but I don't think anyone wants to drink a grass like substance.

Showtime Rotisserie – YES!

I bought a Showtime Rotisserie oven because we often buy those already made rotisserie chickens at Wal Mart and I thought this would be a good alternative. The first thing I cooked it was 14 pounds worth of turkey and it cooked in 2 hours in our rotisserie. Very easy and putting a piece of aluminum foil over the drip pan makes clean up pretty fast.

American Girl - Maybe

American Girl dolls have become the latest and greatest doll that every girl must have. I wanted to see what all the hype was about, so I ordered one. For $100 I ordered the doll and the book. She came with clothes and shoes on. The doll is high quality, however unless you are just a collector, I'm just not seeing what the big deal is. The extra clothes and accessories are extremely overpriced. Personally, if someone just had to have one of these dolls I think I would just buy it used on Craigslist. Unless you are a doll collector like I said, don't waste your money on a new one from American girl.

Pacific Beach – Yes!

I needed to tan for an upcoming trip and I chose to try out Pacific Beach. I loved it! They did try to hard sell their products and I never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a room. Their beds gave great even tans. I definitely will be returning to Pacific Beach.

ZUMBA Fitness for Wii – Yes!

Zumba Fitness for the Wii is an awesome workout. I dare you to make it through 3 songs on your first time. It's definitely a real workout. Even if you can't make it very far the first time, just keep doing it…eventually you will be a zumba machine.

Drano Max – YES!

We had a completely stubborn clog in one of our toilets. Tried multiple things to dissolve the clog and the only thing that worked was DRANO MAX!

ViSalus Shakes– Maybe!

I ordered the ViSalus Shakes during a 90 day challenge. I loved that they use NO GMO products in the mix. Originally I ordered the total body transformation, but quickly saw that I didn't need all the extras, so I simply ordered the shake mix for the next two months.

I weighed at the start of the 90 day challenge and within the first 4 days I lost 4 pounds… unfortunately it was the only 4 lbs I lost. I did also lose 3 inches off my waist in the first week.

However, I will say this, I felt much better on the shakes, that I do off of them. It kind of made me feel like my everyday normal self was bloated until I started the shakes and then the bloating went away. So, even though I wasn't losing weight, I was feeling like my waist line was smaller.

I would like to try this challenge again and incorporate exercise into it and see the results.

Craftwell and Dunright – YES!

So my husband wore the sole off of his Motorcycle riding boots and if you have ever had to buy riding boots you know they are super expensive. I took the boots to Craftwell and Dunright and they re-soled the boots. It took them a week and it cost $68.00 which is kind of expensive, but they did a great job and my husband was happy to have his good riding boots back. The feel of worn in shoes with the look of new ones.

Chucks Boots and Leathers – Yes!

I ordered a pair of steel toed Women's Cowboy boots from Chucks Boots and Leathers in Lee's Summit, MO and shipping was Free Standard Ground shipping. I received the boots the very next day. It was CRAZY FAST! The customer service was awesome when I called to ask questions before the order. It was an all around great on line shopping experience.

Wonder Works Orlando: YES!!!

Wonder Works Orlando: 

This was definitely worth the money. Instead of buying tickets directly online, I went to ebay and found someone selling coupons for Wonder Works. I was able to get 2 of the 4 tickets we needed at half price. My kids LOVED this place. It was very educational and fun for all of us. This particular Wonder Works has a rope obstacle course that was absolutely awesome. It is a great attraction to go to anytime, but since it is indoors, it works great on a rainy day. http://www.wonderworksonline.com/orlando/

The Holy Land Experience: YES!!!

Holy Land Experience: YES!

The Holy Land Experience in Orlando, FL was a great family attraction. It is a biblical based attraction with accurate re-enactments. This is a not a rides park, but it is still a great time. There is a kids area in the park. Tons and tons of places to get awesome pictures. http://www.holylandexperience.com/

Kids Eat Free Card. YES!

Kids Eat Free Orlando cards

I bought two kids eat free Orlando cards for our trip. These cards are sold from the retailer for $19.99 at http://www.kidseatfreecard.com/. I purchased both of them on ebay for $8.00 and $6.99. The seller who sold me the $6.99 one never actually sent it to me so I had to get my money back from them.  I ran out of time to purchase the 2^nd ticket again and have it sent to me so I waited til we got to Orlando and purchased it from a discount ticket center called Orlandofuntickets.com for $18.90. Total investment into these 2 cards was $26.90. We used both cards for our two children for 6 days and it saved us loads of money. Another plus to this is that when we got back from Orlando I re-listed the cards on e-bay and made my money right back.  If you are not aware of these cards, you purchase it and then show it to the waiter when you eat at one of the locations listed on the card. One child eats free per card

Kymaro Body Shapers and Jeans YES!

Kymaro Body Shapers and Jeans:

I purchased the Kymaro Body Shaper top, bottom, and jeans from their website www.kymaro.com. I tried the measurements before putting on the shapers and after. I saw no difference in inches like the infomercial says, however, wearing the shapers did help flatten the lumps that I didn’t want showing. Obviously it didn’t work miracles or anything, but I definitely think the products are worth the price I paid for them and would buy them again. I use them rather frequently. $29.95  

The Face Wrap No

The Face Wrap (AKA The Face Bra):

This was a kind of pricey item, but I have lost over 40lbs recently and my face doesn’t seem to be showing the weight loss. So, I was getting frustrated and decided to try it. I did see very little improvement when I looked at pictures before and after. However, no one else ever noticed any improvement As far as price, at $129.00 I think the Face Bra is priced rather high for the value. http://www.thefacewrap.com/
