Ever since I started using EA Sports Active I have also modified my diet with more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, water, and low fat dairy foods. It’s been great to see the transformation my body in undergoing from exercise and good food. And before every single workout I also use Steel Edge from AE Nutrition.
Now before I continue, AE Nutrition did not send me a container of Steel Edge for free. In fact, my husband has been using it for years since he discovered it in GNC. He’s a runner and a former full-scholarship track athlete at UNC-Chapel Hill, so he really understands the importance of supplements when you workout. He told me to use his Steel Edge every time I workout and for once I finally listened to him!
Steel Edge tastes really great. Most supplements are rather nasty, but this one has a really great citrus flavor. But more importantly it gave me the energy to get through my tough workouts and I could even push harder to do extra workouts each day which helped me lose 25 pounds in a month. My formula to lose the weight was simple: I used EA Sports Active, took brisk walks in my neighborhood, ate well, and used Steel Edge before every workout.
You can buy Steel Edge on Amazon.com. (The link is not an affiliate link)

I have always been a little crazy over flowers. Flowers render any day brighter. And a beautiful bouquet makes anyone happy, even after the most stressful week or in the midst of a major disappointment. Flowers are a natural uplifter, wouldn’t you agree?
I was graciously sent a bouquet of California grown Gerbera daisies and while they lasted (which was quite awhile) I enjoyed gazing at them each day. The Gerbera daisies stayed very perk throughout, which was nice because Gerbera daisies tend to droop very easily. There were also Shasta daisies in the bouquet along with ornamental twigs and leaves. Just beautiful.
It was nice to learn that California grown flowers must meet the strictest growing standards in the world and most California grown flowers are cut right after they are purchased allowing them to last longer, hence the reason my bouquet lasted so long.
The California Cut Flower Commission has created adorable hint cards with — you guessed it — hints on them that wives or girlfriends can slip under their husband’s or boyfriend’s pillow, drop in his lunch, secretly put in his wallet, or deliberately leave lying around to remind them that it’s time for a bouquet.
