Iron Man 3 New Clip!!

Iron Man 3 is now playing in theaters everywhere.  Here is a clip that features a new character, Harley, played by 11 year old Ty Simpkins!  Check it out!

Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

Everest Nutrition Krill Oil

Disclosure:  For this review I received one bottle of Everest Nutrition Krill Oil.  I did not receive any form of monetary compensation for this posting.  All opinions expressed are my own, or are those of my family, and were NOT influenced in any way. 

For the last several years, I have been hearing a lot about Omega-3, fish oil and krill oil.  I had no idea what all the hoopla was about until the doctor mentioned it to my mom and grandma.  Although my grandma and mom were taking other supplements, the doctor thought that they would benefit from taking an Omega-3 supplement.  They started taking fish oil, but often complained about the nasty taste, after-taste and "fishy burps."  

What is Krill oil? 

Everest Nutrition’s Krill Oil is extracted from Krill living deep within the waters surrounding the Antarctic. Krill are very small, shrimp like crustaceans found in open seas throughout the world. Research from the scientific and medical communities confirms the incredible effects this oil can have in promoting heart and joint health, lowered cholesterol, improved moods and comfort during menstruation.

After hearing about the benefits of omega 3 krill oil,  I decided to talk to my doctor about it and to find out if she would recommend it for me to use.  Heart disease runs in my family, we closely monitor my cholesterol, and I have arthritis and Sjogrens Syndrome, so my doctor advised me that, "It could not hurt" to give it a try. I would much rather take a supplement now than to add another prescription to my routine.  

Research has confirmed Krill Oil’s ability to:
Lower your risks of cardiovascular ‘incidents’ by up to 45%...
Eliminate as much as 55% of artery clogging LDL cholesterol…
Minimize dangerous triglycerides up to 27%...
Reduce menacing heart inflammation as much as 29%...
Increase HDL ‘healthy cholesterol’ as much as 43%...
Relieve the agony and distress associated with stiff joints by up to 29%...
Improve your brain health and memory function by as much as 48%....
Reduce early aging lines in the skin by up to 51%...
Boost your energy by 50%...
Reduce the uncomfortable effects of premenstrual syndrome both; emotionally and physically by as much as 47%...
 
Before I started taking the Krill oil, I was very concerned that it would have a horrible fishy taste and would give me the "fishy burps" that my grandma complains about.  I am not a seafood person, and I have an allergy to the mussel family, so I was genuinely concerned.   When the sample of Everest Nutrition’s Krill Oil arrived, I started taking it, and I have noticed some positive changes.  My energy has increased and my aching, stiff joints have been feeling better and I have had fewer occurrences.  

I recommended Everest Nutrition’s Krill Oil to my mom and grandma.  They have been taking it for about 3 weeks now and Grandma was happy to report that she no longer has those nasty, "fishy burps."  We have noticed that Grandma seems to be showing improvement in her memory and brain function.  Mom feels like her energy level has increased and she says her stiff joints are better too.  

My daughter has severe issues with cramps and moodiness associated with PMS, and they are only increased during her actual menstrual cycle.  I will ask her doctor her opinion on adding the Everest Nutrition’s Krill Oil to her diet.  I am happy that I was included in this review.  I learned a lot and am pleased with the results.  

Disclosure:  I am participating in a Blog Friendly PR campaign, and I received Krill Oil to facilitate my review.  All opinions are honest and my own, or are those of my family members.  No monetary compensation was received.

Be Back Online Monday!

I'm sure you have noticed that I have not posted recently.  To those sponsors I owe a review, look for them next week.  I will be playing catch up.

The reason for my absence is pretty much LIFE.  I got a small cold which lead me to the hospital!  I am feeling better, but the pollen still has me wheezing and feeling horrid!  My daughter had some issues with her asthma during this same time and we are finally getting things worked out with some of her teachers.  Her Gym teacher was causing issues about her participation, even though she had a doctor's note saying she could not participate at the time.  Lots of drama there, but after my hubby went to all the administrators at the high school, things are fine!  She also has had some "friend" issues and we were beginning to really worry about her.  She was diagnosed today with a mild depression and will continue to go into counseling!  I've dealt with depression and anxiety issues for over 20 years, so I can understand how she feels.  I am glad she was honest with us and we were able to get her some help.

With all of that on my plate, there has been no way I could be on here.  I didn't even bother to check my emails!  Take care everyone and I look forward to getting my act back together, and my blog hopping again!
God Bless you all!
