It’s that time of year again – bring on the baking! The women of my family have always spent days – and I mean literally days -baking cookies and other baked goods for office parties, family parties, and just to send some yummy treats to friends. One of my favorite candies to work with while  baking is M&M’s® !

Want to impress your friends with your baking skills?  Bake a dessert that will be the highlight of every meal with chocolate candies!   Print out your coupon buy some M&M’s® at Walmart, and pre-heat the oven, because whether you have an office or class party, or just want to treat your family, it’s time to get out the oven mitts and start baking! #BakingIdeas

One of my favorite recipes is M&M’s® No Bakes which I thought I’d share. They are definitely a favorite and I always freeze a dozen to put back when I start craving them. They are best warm, when the M&M is just slightly melted. yum.

Fitness Friday: Therafit Shoe Review & Giveaway

Posted on November 22, 2013 by Krissyar

 

I was compensated with a pair of Deborah sneakers in exchange for this reviews, all opinions are my own.
 

I have mentioned to you guys before, how I have foot problems which really hinder my work out and exercise routine. I knew that a regular pair of shoes just weren’t going to cut it for my planter fasciitis. So after some extensive research I decided to reach out to Therafit Shoes to see if they could help.

#therafit

Therafit has created fashionable, comfortable shoes, perfect for all hours of a woman’s day. Co-developed by Dr. Lisa Masterson, of the Emmy award-winning series, ‘The Doctors’, Therafit believes in empowering women to embrace wellness in all aspects of their lives. We know that combining fashion with comfort gives women a solid foundation, both at work and at play.

“I wanted to develop a shoe that would empower women. No matter where they are – at work, at the gym, or just running the countless errands that we do. We need a shoe that multitasks with us, and my shoe does. It taps into the latest technology with performance that can be customized and styles that work around the clock. It’s the 12-hour shoe for the 12-hour day!”

Dr Lisa Masterson

Dr. Masterson knows that comfortable footwear can help relieve pain in the feet, legs, hips and back. “Women are constantly moving. We’re always on the go and we want comfortable shoes that move with us, but we want them stylish enough so we can wear them wherever we’re going. Therafit by Dr. Lisa shoes use multiple layers and densities for cushioning and support so that the shock of each step is distributed downward and outward. The result is a shoe that cushions your foot on impact – no need to worry about rough landings resulting in miserable body aches the next morning

Endorsed by the National Posture Institute, our patented technology provides cushioning and support helping to reduce the aches and pains that come from the stress of everyday activities. Utilizing the patented Personalized Comfort System (PCS), each shoe lets you adjust the impact protection and cushion level to fit your personal needs. You decide what works best for you.

#therafit #win #shoes

I can tell you these shoes have given me a new lease on my feet! Working out on the treadmill, the bike, or even taking a hike, is a whole new experience for me – without pain! When I get out of bed the next day I can actually walk and not hobble around from the pain. Though I still have issues at times (especially with the shoes I wear to work) I love knowing I can at least have comfort (and style) while working out and trying to get into shape.

These shoes would make a great gift for the gym rat, or fitness guru on your list! They even have gift cards and compared to other specialty shoes that I’ve researched, they also are a wayy better deal.

Don’t take my word for it – enter to win your own pair of Therafit Shoes and find out for yourself!
