Product Review: Prefer Green Portion Control Containers

I have been trying to diet on and off for the last few years with minimal results.  I have been told that the key to weight loss is portions.  I will be trying out the Prefer Green 7 Piece Portion Control containers that I recently received.  They are 100% Leak Proof and help you portion out what you should be eating.  They are color coded and come with a guide to help you figure out which food products should be used with which container.  I was surprised to see how tiny the dressing container was – I am using much more than that on my salads.

The containers are made of high quality propylene and a BPA and DEHP free. They are dishwasher and microwave save.  They fit in side of each other as well, so all you need to store is the 2 containers that are 1-cup in size, the others can all stack inside of each other to save space!  Using these will be a bit of a rude awakening for me, but I hope that it can lead to healthier eating habits.

I received a free set of containers in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.

Product Review: Jammy Jams Pop Goes Lullaby 6


This is not the first Jammy Jams lullaby album that I have reviewed and it probably won’t be the last, but I have to say that Pop Goes Lullaby 6 is probably my favorite one yet.  I have been having trouble sleeping lately and I was asleep about 4 songs in on this one.  It is filled with lullaby (instrumental) versions of some of the most popular songs on Top 40 radio.  I honestly didn’t think there would ever be a rendition of Can’t Feel My Face that I would ever enjoy – but one that can help lull me to sleep is definitely something that I am a fan of.  Great for babies or adults.

Product Review: Kitchen Gizmo Angry Mama Microwave Cleaner


I’ll be honest, I was drawn to this “Angry Mama” because I thought it looked a bit like me.  I also live in a house that loves to try out all sorts of new and fun kitchen gizmos and gadgets so I knew we had to try it out.  Angry Mama is a plastic container which you fill with white vinegar and water (there are lines on the back to show you where to fill it to).  Then you pop it in the microwave for 5-8 minutes.  Steam starts to come out of the Angry Mama’s head which softens the junk in the microwave making it really easy to just wipe it clean afterwards.

Angry Mama is innovative and eco-friendly.  No chemicals needed – just white vinegar and water. It saves you time scrubbing by doing most of the work for you.  It is made with heat resistant materials which means it is durable and Top Rack Dishwasher and (of course) Microwave Safe.

CAUTION: HOT! BEWARE WHEN REMOVING ANGRY MAMA FROM MICROWAVE. USE THE TWO SIDE WINGS TO REMOVE.

I received this product for free in order to try it out and post this review. I was not otherwise compensated.

Stephen Kellogg recently did a Pledge Music in order to record his latest record. He did things a bit differently and recorded what could be considered 4 different EPs – one in the South, one in the West, one in the North and one in the East.  Each of these locations gave a different kind of inspiration for him to write and record the songs.  They work find as 4 separate EPs but what is great about it is they also all work together as a double album as well, which is how it is being released.  Those who made a pledge to the campaign through pledge music got the CD to listen to in November, while it will not be officially released until this month.  (Those who got tickets to see him on his tour also had the option to purchase as well – the perks of SK being CEO of his record label!)

26 Seconds (of Silence) was written about the 26 who were killed in the shooting in Newtown, CT in December 2012.  Stephen, like me, is from Connecticut and was impacted by the tragedy. He ended up posting this song early – as it was not supposed to officially be released until the “East” portion of the CD was released, but with the attacks in Paris he felt that he should release it and encouraged everyone to donate to the American Red Cross.

If you’re wondering just where South, West, North and East were for Stephen when recording – it was Atlanta, GA and Nashville, TN; Boulder, CO; Woodstock, NY; Washington, DC.

Fans of Stephen Kellogg will recognize his song writing and singing that they are familiar with from past records.  Stephen’s songs tell stories, usually about his life, but somehow it works out that they can be about your life as well. Some of his songs give advice, others are just fun. If you’re not familiar with Stephen’s work, start here and work your way through the rest of his catalog – both his solo stuff and his work with Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers.  I’d be shocked if you ended up not enjoying yourself.
