{ Giveaway } Feosol Bifera HIP & PIC Iron Supplement Review

I've been taking Feosol Complete for the past month. I know some of my family members say they take their vitamins, and that their daily vitamin has Iron in it, but how many actually take their vitamins? Every. Single. Day. My personal experience is I felt a little more "myself," and I believe taking vitamins can be a better alternative than other solutions. I also felt better during my menstrual cycle after taking the Iron pill. Usually I just wanted to sleep that week away. You should always ask your doctor, research anything before you put it in your system. When it comes to supplements you shouldn't be afraid of them.

NEW! Feosol® Complete with Bifera (30ct Heme/Non heme iron supplement)

Did you know?

Iron is vital for maintaining energy levels and good health — but did you know that over 7.8 million women in the United States are iron deficient? Once a doctor diagnoses iron deficiency they often recommend an iron supplement, but up to half of the individuals who take iron supplements experience uncomfortable side effects such as nausea and constipation, causing many to abandon the treatment altogether. Feosol® Complete with Bifera® is the only iron supplement that combines heme iron (the type of iron you get in red meat) and non-heme iron (similar to the iron found in dark leafy greens). Best of all, it is specially designed with sensitive stomachs in mind. These two forms of iron provide for maximum absorption while minimizing the common uncomfortable side effects such as constipation and nausea.

To enter to win a Bottle of Feosol Complete you can enter below, U.S. Only, Must be 18+ , Giveaway begins 11/25/2012 Ends 12/10/2012.

1. Like Life According To GreenVics on Facebook

2. Follow GreenVics on Twitter

3. Leave a comment with a valid Email, and winner will be picked at random via random.org!

I received these Iron Supplements to review, I was not told what to say, or write. And, it was my option if I wanted to do the giveaway! So Good luck to all, and dont forget to comment!

{ Review & Giveaway } Teton Sports Sleeping Bag

Life According To GreenVics Holiday Gift Guide: Teton Sports Celius XL Sleeping Bag Review & Giveaway.

This Gear is Addicting. The Quality is just amazing. Everything it says it does, it really does. I can't wait to go camping again.

The Teton Sports - Celius XL Sleeping Bag is by far the ideal sleeping bag to have. Really, to me no other Sleeping bag compares. I honestly believe everyone should have one of these in their survival closets. It's XL vast height ranges from 5'6 to 6'6. The liner is 100% Brushed Flannel. There are four channel fibers that trap the air in for maximum warmth. Can't forget the double layer offset stitch construction that prevents cold spots! To learn more about this sleeping bags stats check them out on TetonSports.com, and Facebook.

This well made, insulated for -32C/-25F Weather Sleeping Bag is On sale @ Amazon

As soon as I opened the box and felt the sleeping bag I instantly thought this is softer, and feels better than even my comforter in the bedroom. It made me WANT to sleep in the sleeping bag! It's just an even bigger bonus what this sleeping bag can do, and keep you safe, and warm when out in the elements. I can't wait to take it camping. It is big enough that I can lay in it with my 23 month old.

I wish I had this sleeping bag the last time we went to Athens, Ohio to camp. I even wish I had it when I was younger for all those times I was so cold camping out with my troop for Girl Scouts. I even plan on taking this with me when I road trip.

The fluff this Teton Sports Celius XL Sleeping Bag possesses is so abundant that there is a special nylon compression sack to use when rolling it back up. It keeps it shape, and fluff. As soon as I rolled it back up, my husband came home, and unrolled it to check it out too. He laid on top of it, and said, "It feels softer than our bed." I said, "Well, now you know what you are sleeping on when I kick you out.",He proceeded to lay inside the sleeping bag, and told me we are turning off the heat tonight. I just laughed at him.

Don't forget to like Tenton Sports on Facebook. They hold monthly drawings to give away free Teton Sports Gear(For the Month of November They are doing an Apocalypse Survival Guide, I am a huge fan of DoomsDay Preppers so this Survival Guide Gear would be ideal to win! on TetonSports Facebook Page)

My favorite tho was the Mango Mystique!! Oh, my! Let me tell you, I even added some of the Mango to my GreenTea after it brewed and made my own Mango/GreenTea drink. It is my new favorite thing to drink. Because I added the Mango Sneaky Petes I did not have to add anything else to my tea. It was just perfect.

BlankZ Toy Giveaway

Giveaway, and Review by NYSavingSpecias

Welcome to the BlankZ Toy Giveaway!! Enter below!

A Very Merry Snuza Christmas Giveaway

TWO Winners!! For a Snuza Baby Movement Monitor. I think the idea for this is fantastic! There were many past nights that this would have been beyond welcome! Enter below via Rafflecopter.

Whether you're a first-time parent or welcoming your third one, the safety and well-being of your little ones is always a priority on your parenthood list. Truth be told, we rely on any kind of product or item to help us through the journey and make our job a little easier. And perhaps a giveaway could give you a hand with your baby needs. S.O.S. Mom along with the very generous sponsor Snuza are spoiling two families with a mobile baby movement monitor... to make those nights a little easier on you!

With Flu Season, and just nasty weather draining our bodies down I am a big time believer in Throat Drops for irritated throats. Maybe you're just a singer, or you screamed too loudly at last nights game(or your kids, LOL).. throat drops are needed. Well mostly a combination of throat drops, and hot green tea with honey & milk inbetween is my go to comfort.

I also have respect for the man that created these drops in 1870. J. Herman Pine wanted to make people happy, and didn't care about the money! He just wanted people to have natural relief to the sore throat.

The Pine Bros Drops I received to review were Wild Cherry, and Natural Honey.

{ Book Review } THE UNOFFICIAL MADMEN COOKBOOK!

Great Retro Cookbook!

Life According To GreenVics Holiday Gift Guide

Sometimes I wish I was from the time of cocktails, and when you were either a Jackie O, or Marilyn type of gal. The look, and recipes are a time to go back to, when people cooked at home, and went out to eat at legendary restaurants. This cookbook is full of recipes from Kitchens, Bars, and Restaurants as seen on Mad Men.

THE UNOFFICIAL MAD MEN COOKBOOK

THE UNOFFICIAL MAD MEN COOKBOOK by Judy Gelman and Peter Zheutlin has it all. There are over 70 recipes ranging from Cocktails, Appetizers, Salads, Main Courses, and Deserts & Sweets.

This Cookbook would be a great gift for someone that wants to learn to cook, and entertain. Or, if you are just a huge Don Drapper fan.

Not only is the cookbook full of recipes, but also historical, and cultural content.

Detailed Colored Full Photos

My favorite recipe tho would have to be the pineapple upside down cake. It's simple, and to the point. I can remember my Grandma making it, and my mom making me it. Now I make it for my family. It's just one of those recipes that I *believe* everyone should know how to make for their family!

You can Retrogress with The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook on Facebook & Twitter.

I mention all the time how much I love sweet things.. This is one of my favorite cakes to bake. Not only is it DELICIOUS! But it's like a work of art too! It's fun to arrange the pineapple slices, and cherries.

Tho sometimes I get lazy, and just do it like this, Lol. It all tastes the same! I made two pineapple down sheet cakes.

Now I need a Martini please! Oh, and I hope I made you hungry.

I received this book for free for my honest opinion. The Unofficial MadMen Cookbook retails for $16.95. I was not told what to write/nor say, or to cook/try from the book. This was all meee.

{ Short Story Review } The Unfinished by Patrice Williams

The short story The Unfinished by Patrice Williams really is worth checking out. While reading the story I could feel the dark wit that consumed Donny York. Also his concept of the Unfinished, and how the government could bring back the dead for 72 hours for murder case trials was a very cool concept! I am a total fan of dark humor, twists, and the sci-fi nature of things. It would be unreal to have some one come back to point their decomposing finger at their killer, but in this short story they can. The visuals from the deaths some of these Unfinishers experienced were just gross (and, I like gross.) I'd love to see something like this turned into a full novel, and then a SERIES, or even a movie. But, I'd rather it be a series! I don't want to give too much away.. tho maybe Melanies licorice perfume, and her not remembering Donny drove him to do something drastic in his mundane life.. I thought the story was well written, and it kept my attention.

You can check the UnFinished out on Amazon, & read my review there too.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
