This year we were all overcome by the pokemon craze once again as they made a comeback and this time became modernized in the digital age.
Pokemon Go is a app that was created to be fun as well as get people moving more. What this app does is makes you step out of your house and explore the world around you while finding these little pokemon characters in our every day life. In the first few months of release it was met with both praise and scrutiny but overall was very popular world wide. In recent months it has decreased in popularity but still is played by quite a few dedicated pokemon fans.
When you have a pokemon show up on your phone screen you are to move your finger flicking it upward to toss a pokeball at the pokemon. It is a fun game to play but if you can't get a good throw you can wind up losing a bunch of poke balls. For some it can be quite frustrating and they look for ways of helping hone in their aim better. The product that I am reviewing today is just the product you need to help get your aim right on pokemon go.
As you can see this accessory attaches right onto your phone allowing you to line up the shot directly making sure there are no throwing off side throws. Very easy to use and easy to put on the phone as well as remove from phone when not in use.
These come in three colors which are red,yellow and blue which are also the three colors of the teams you have to choose from in the game.
As an added bonus you get a wristband with the name of the team you represent which the three teams if you don't know (which if you're reading this blog you probably do know) are Team Valor (Red) Team Instinct (Yellow) and Team Mystic (Blue).
This set is a really cool gift for any pokemon go fan (hint,hint christmas is coming) but is also a great gift for yourself as well.
If you would like to purchase one or more of these sets you can find them here on their amazon page which I have listed below.

The quickest and easiest way to decorate your house this season!
I am fairly certain the majority of you have seen on tv or in stores the projection lights that take out all of the work of hanging up christmas lights. So by now you are probably going yeah i've heard about these and I am excited to hear all about them and how they work or for some it could be oh yeah I bet those don't work well. Well I am here to cover both of those types of people right now but I am not covering any light projector you've seen on tv or in the stores.
This one as you will see is more pricey than the ones advertised on tv and will make a few people turn away from purchasing it. I get it completely cause when I saw the price I thought the same thing. But once I got it delivered to my door and really got to exam it I can tell you right now you are getting a pretty good deal. This projector unlike it's cheaper store versions is made to last more than a season or two as it is made with strong high quality aluminum so you can rest assured this isn't some cheap hard plastic that will eventually wear down or break. This is strong and what I really love is that it's waterproof!
The remote that comes with it is really so nice to have because on cold nights you can just turn on your lights from the warmth of your home, You can even adjust the speed of lights,color of the lights and set a timer for how long the lights will stay on.
The lights themselves are very bright and vibrant and stretch out far across the house. I will say at one point I pointed it towards my large spruce tree in my yard and it looked as though I decorated my tree outside so there is another idea for you.
I have included in this blog my youtube video of me setting up the light and showing how it looks because lets be honest. Pictures are nice but being able to see it done live is pretty much an amazing experience.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl6-6_sJjoI
And now that you've heard my opinion on this projector light and i've peaked your interest in checking it out for yourself let me leave you with the amazon link in which you can purchase this projector and enjoy it for many years to come. Allowing you less time on the roof and more time indoors as people admire your christmas lights.

Whey Protein Powder, Strawberry Flavor by Activa Nturals
I truly am not one to eat breakfast. I just do not get hungry when I first wake up and usually I have little time to sit around and wait to be ready for breakfast. So often time I drink protein drinks for breakfast as they fill me up and are a good way to get breakfast in without eating a big meal.
What I love about protein shakes is that even if you get tired of the same flavor you can easily mix in fruits with it to make it a whole new flavor of protein shake.
The thing you want to take into consideration when getting a protein powder is that it is high quality and all natural whey protein so that you are getting the most nutrition in your drink for your breakfast. Cause you honestly don't want to be hungry within an hour after drinking this and you don't want to have a bunch of fillers and preservatives that you honestly don't need,
What I love about the Activa Naturals brand is that you get premium natural products. best part is that you're not paying tons for them either.
So before i get into the company aspect let's look at their whey protein powder. I got the strawberry protein powder and wow upon opening the bag the rich strawberry scent made me want to dive right in. It was so rich and aromatic but it was natural looking as there was no bright pink coloring to the powder like you'll often find from the on the shelf products. Upon mixing it with milk it it mixed smoothly and easily. The taste was out of this world yummy! It did not have a chalky flavor but tasted as though I was drinking strawberry milk but not quite as sugary sweet. I really love the flavor compared to others I have had.
What I love about the company is that they do make sure that you're happy with whatever you buy from them so they have a satisfaction guarantee. So if for any reason you are not satisfied with any of their products you can get a refund. That is how sure they are that you will like their products.
They have a large collection of natural products including many health and beauty supplements as well as protein powders.
If you would like to check out all of the great products they have to offer you can find them here on their website https://www.activanaturalsstore.com/collections/frontpage/products/whey-protein-powder
I did in fact get my bag of protein powder to test out and I can say now that i've tried it I will definitely be a return customer of this company!

K9 Pro Glucosamine Joint Supplements for Dogs
Today I am reviewing a product that can help your aging dog still move around like he/she was just a puppy.It is a product with glucosamine chondroitin which is known to be used by humans as well as they get older and have to battle arthritis.But before we get into the product let's first look at it's key ingredient and what it does exactly.
The history of glucosamine and chondroitin
Glucosamine and Chondroitin have been used to treat osteoarthritis in Europe for over twenty years. Recently, physicians and veterinarians in the United States have begun to prescribe this product for their patients and have been extremely happy with the results. These products are proving to be one of the safest and best treatments for the crippling effects of osteoarthritis that affects millions of aging dogs throughout the United States.Despite the fact that the benefits of these glucosamine and chondroitin products have been known for over twenty years, many people question why these products are just now being used in the United States. The answer lies in the fact that glucosamine and chondroitin are not products that can be patented, and therefore, offer little incentive to the large pharmaceutical companies to develop a product. Pharmaceutical companies spend millions in research and development and need a patented product to guarantee sales and to recoup their investment.
Another issue is that glucosamine and chondroitin are considered nutraceuticals and are not strictly controlled by the FDA. They are naturally occurring substances in many food products and fall in the same class as vitamins. Despite the overwhelmingly positive studies done in Europe, American researchers still refused to perform controlled studies. In fact, literature searches show that there are hardly any North American studies done on these products. But all this is quickly changing. Because of the huge number of humans and pets suffering from osteoarthritis and the tremendous success in the treatment of this disease when using glucosamine and chondroitin, many companies are now producing a product line and several broad research studies are underway.
Uses of glucosamine and chondroitin
Glucosamine products have been studied and used for the healing of skin wounds, stomach ailments, and joint problems. Their use in the relief and healing of the symptoms of joint disease is currently their biggest use. Glucosamine and chondroitin have been successfully used in humans, horses, dogs, and cats. This article deals only with glucosamine and chondroitin and their therapeutic use for osteoarthritis in the dog and cat.
There are many different joints that can be affected by osteoarthritis in the dog, but by far, the most common is the hip joints. Hip Dysplasia is very common in many of the larger breeds of dogs. This condition greatly exacerbates the normal wear on the smooth cartilage protecting the bony surface of the joint. When this cartilage wears away there is a bone to bone contact, which creates the pain seen with arthritis. Even dogs that do not have hip dysplasia may have a decrease in this cartilage as they age, and will show signs of arthritis. In addition, aging dogs may also have arthritis in their knees, elbows, and shoulders and cartilage loss or damage that respond to glucosamine and chondroitin.
Glucosamine and chondroitin are also often used as an aid in the treatment of spinal disc injuries or post operatively in dogs that have undergone joint surgery.
The typical patient that is placed on and responds to glucosamine and chondroitin therapy is a middle aged to older medium to large breed dog. Dogs may show symptoms of limping or stiffness especially in the morning and during cold weather. They usually loosen up as they move around and exercise. Some dogs have difficulty climbing stairs or getting into or out of a vehicle. Many dogs respond to treatment with buffered aspirin (Do NOT give your cat aspirin unless prescribed by your veterinarian) or carprofen (Rimadyl), but when the product is discontinued the pain and symptoms return. Osteoarthritis also affects small dogs and cats and glucosamine and chondroitin have been used very effectively in relieving their symptoms.
In my experience I would say that most older dogs suffer from some level of osteoarthritis. Many owners attribute the loss of activity to old age and may not even identify it as a problem. And they never appreciate how much their dog’s activity level was being reduced by the arthritis until they place their dog on glucosamine and chondroitin therapy and see the return of normal function.
Where are glucosamine and chondroitin found?
Glucosamine and chondroitin are normal substances found in the body of living animals. They are at their highest concentration in cartilage. Unfortunately, through degradation during digestion and processing, almost all of the glucosamine in an animal's diet is unavailable for use. The body, therefore, synthesizes most of its own glucosamine through a biochemical reaction utilizing glucose. In normal healthy animals the body is able to synthesize enough glucosamine to keep the existing cartilage healthy, but when the animal ages or there is damage to joint cartilage it cannot produce enough to keep up with the body's needs. This is where a supplemental form of glucosamine is needed.
Supplemental glucosamine: Glucosamine is a 2-amino derivative of glucose which is obtained through the hydrolysis of chitin, a polysaccharide found in the shell of crustaceans. Crustaceans have a very high concentration of chitin and because the shells are often discarded, provide a reliable and cost effective source of glucosamine.
Chondroitin: Chondroitin is a naturally occurring product found in animal cartilage. Supplemental chondroitin is derived primarily from bovine (cow) cartilage, particularly the cartilage rings of the trachea. It is also derived from shark and whale cartilage. The source does not appear to have any impact on its effect. Though for ecological reasons, many consumers prefer bovine sources.
How do glucosamine and chondroitin work?
The way that glucosamine works is a very complicated process. In a nutshell, cartilage consists of several different cells, one of which is chondrocytes. Chondrocytes are responsible for synthesizing new cartilage. Through normal wear, cartilage is constantly being broken down and replaced. When a dog has hip dysplasia or ages, the chondrocytes do not have the building blocks available to them to build enough new cartilage to keep up with the breakdown of the old cartilage. Glucosamine provides the building blocks to synthesize new cartilage. Glucosamine is the building block necessary for the production of the substances called glycosaminoglycans. The glycosaminoglycans are combined with hyaluronic acid to make the substance proteoglycans. The proteoglycans and collagen are the main structures of cartilage.
Chondroitin also is one of the products necessary for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans. But it probably plays a more important role by combating and neutralizing destructive enzymes in the joint. There is always a low level of destructive enzymes found in the joint, but when injury or abnormal wear occurs, the destructive enzymes and agents increase accelerating cartilage destruction. When chondroitin is added to the diet it helps to reduce the level of these destructive enzymes.
There are many different types of ways to give your dog this supplement but in this blog I am discussing the chewable tablet form of this supplement. The easy to chew and tasty flavored tablets ( basing this off how my dog enjoyed it and not from my personal experience of trying these haha) are perfect for all dogs as they see it as more of a treat than as a vitamin they have to take. In the youtube video i've included below you will see how my senior citizen girl Kaya loved these supplements.
I honestly love these tablets cause my dogs love them and it's good for them as it helps keep their joints lubricated keeping them from feeling pain from arthritic joints.
If you would like to purchase a bottle of these for your four legged fur babies you can find them here on their amazon page.
I did get my bottle in exchange for testing purposes and to give my honest thoughts and opinions on it,

Coccyx Seat Cushion
If you've ever injured your tailbone you've heard of a coccyx which is the technical word for the tailbone. When you injure it they often suggest a inflatable donut to sit on to help cushion the coccyx and promote healing.Honestly though having a cushion for your coccyx is quite helpful in many ways such as for those who suffer from back pain also.
We all know sitting in hard chairs after a certain amount of time will start to hurt our back and make us feel numbness because it is putting pressure and pain on the coccyx leading to discomfort over time whenever you sit anyhwhere.
Below is the coccyx seat cushion that I was sent to review. It is made of a wonderful memory foam that fits around your bum as to give you the most comfort and fit any bum perfectly. It is nice and cushiony as to give you comfort while sitting on even the hardest of seats.
This pillow is much less embarrassing also to carry around with you than to carry around an inflatable donut and is much easier to carry around easily.
