I know you are looking for some great deals, just like I am.
I have been wanting to move our family to electric shavers for some time now. I actually really like to do haircuts at home. We have been doing them since the kids where tiny, because it helps to save so much money. Between my husband and our four kids we have to go get haircuts almost every two weeks. I think it has to do with a really clean diet, good fats and nutrients that have our hair growing so fast.
I was ecstatic when Norelco sent me their groomer to review.
I just have to say that this item is AWESOME!
My husband uses his groomer to trim, style, and cut his and our sons hair. It was especially great on my sons fine hair, which is sometimes hard to cut. This groomer was much easier to use than trying to cut with scissors. I was able to trim around the ears and get the really soft troublesome hairs on my sons neck. This provided nice clean style right at home and done in 10 minutes. This is such a affordable convenient tool to have ready to use.
Precision detail trimmer to create and maintain your lines
41mm hair clipper to style your hair
Beard and moustache comb locks into 9 settings
Hair clipper comb locks into 9 settings
Mini shaver for finishing edges with a close result
Nose, ear and eyebrow trimmer
I think this makes a great gift for under the tree and you have a great chance to WIN!
Great Discounts and Prizes
Starting November 19 and through December 17, Philips Norelco is giving our Twitter followers the chance to upgrade their electric shaving experience -- and holiday experience – by giving away a PowerTouch with Aquatec every day!!!!.

I love this day and think it is about so much more than food. It is a time to come together as friends and family and be truly thankful for our lives. What a wonderful way to celebrate by cooking up some amazing, delicious, healthful food.
While I am sure some will have the traditional dishes of Turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casseroles, stuffing, I would like to add a few healthful dishes too. I will be making a few raw and vegan dishes to keep my body balanced and not so much of a carb load.
4 ounces spinach leaves, roughly 4 cups packed 1/4 cup water 3 tbsp Coconut Oil 2 cups diced button mushrooms, cut in 1/4 inch dices 3/4 cup of carrots, cut in 1/4 inch dices 3/4 cup of celery cut 1/4 inch dices 3/4 cup of onion, cut in 1/4 inch dices 1/8 tsp sea salt 1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper 4 tsp chopped sage leaves (2 tsp dried) 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves 3 cups multi grain bread cubes 1/2 cup vegetable broth Steam spinach in a large wide pot with 1/4 cup of water until just wilted. Drain, and plunge into ice water. Squeeze dry and chop. rinse and dry the pot, no need to dirty more dishes. In same pot add coconut oil and warm. Add in carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms. Cover and cook for roughly a minute so the mushrooms can release some of their moister. Uncover and cook stiring occasionally until vegetables are tender. If vegetables begin to brown reduce the temperature. Stir in spinach, salt, pepper, sage, and thyme. Turn heat to low and add in bread crumbs stirring occasionally until soften to the textures you like. If bread is too dry add in more broth. Place stuffing in baking dish and brush with Coconut Oil, bake at 350 degrees until heated through. Serves 8 and has about 122 cals for serving.
3 tbsp extra virgin Olive Oil
1 yellow onion, minced
1 cup Farro
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 cups vegetable stock
salt
12 oz. mushrooms diced
red pepper flakes
1 bunch of spinach stemmed
parmesan cheese
In medium pan heat oil, over medium heat. Add onion and stir cooking until tender. Add in Farro and stir cooking until toasted. Add in wine cooking until reduced by half. Add in vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat ad simmer, stirring occasionally. I add in the mushrooms here and once Farro is creamy and cooked. The water should all be evaporated and just the grain and vegetables remaining. I add in the spinach and stir in until wilted.
Cranberry Relish 2 cups fresh cranberries 1 apple, peeled, cored, and chopped zest of one orange juice of one orange 1 small pineapple, peeled and cored 1 tbsp honey
Put everything in a processor and breakdown until combined but still chunky.
Make a beautiful pinkish color and taste wonderful. I love this recipe and will me making it throughout the season.
This is delicious over yogurt, oatmeal, on toast, the options are endless.
Amazing Brussels Sprouts Salad zest of one lemon 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice 1/2 Dijon mustard 3 tbsp EVOO Dash Salt and ground pepper 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed with leaves separated 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds toasted 1 avocado
Slices of Blood red oranges. (optional) Whisk lemon juice, zest, and mustard in a small bow. Gradually add in oil whisking until emulsified. Then season with salt and pepper, set aside. Trim the leave and seperate the Brussels Sprouts, this is the most time consumming, but goes pretty fast once you get the hang of it. The kids will be helping me peel. Toss leaves with dressing and seeds. Gently add in avocado and oranges slices.
Making for Thanksgiving and will add pictures later. I love this recipe and wished I took pictures last time I made it.
1-12 ounce package of fresh cranberries 1/2 cup of apple juice 1/3 cup of water 2 tbsp honey 1 tsp fresh sage, choped finely dash of salt Put cranberries, apple juice, and water in a medium heat saucepan. Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer until cranberries burst and mixture thickens. (5-6 mins). Stir in honey, sage, and salt. Serve chilled or at room temperture.
I am making for Thankagiving and will get picture up very soon :-) While you are picking up your cranberries, grab a couple bags to make your own Cranberry Juices, recipe coming very soon too.
There are a couple reasons to have a kitchen scale!
With the holidays always comes festive foods and celebrations. We have a lot to be thankful for and celebrate, but we have to keep a health body in mind. Most of the time we maintain our bodies in the summer and falls because we have all those cute summer clothes to show off. During the winter months we tend to slow down our activities, wear layered clothes, and eat too many festive foods and drinks. All this can add up to an increase in pounds which is why we have New Year's Resolutions. During the New Year we work so hard to start our bodies back watching what we eat and exercising. A kitchen scale helps us to keep food in moderation.
Another way we use kitchen scales is in our cooking. Sometimes we have to convert measurements from older cookbooks or books from other countries. This is where I tend to use my scale a lot. On my husbands travels her has brought me back cookbooks from Australia, Africa, Alaska, Chile, Brazil, Scotland, and a few more. Not all of the books but many I have to convert from grams to ounces or cups. Right now I am using my scale often because I am watching what I eat early. Not really dieting, but making sure I keep things in moderation. This is a wonderful reminder because often we forget the amount of calories certain foods have. Honestly, by New Years I want to already be the size and fit person on 1/1/2013 and not work so hard after. Eat Smart Kitchen Scale can help you with that. The scale is super easy to use with just two buttons and easy instructions. Scale comes with a Calorie Factor and Instruction manual and 4 triple A batteries. I was able to power up and get right to using my scale. Features
Measures in Ounces, Pounds, Grams, and Kilograms
Has a two year warranty
Includes Free Calorie Counting Guide
Easy to read Backlit Display
Stainless Steel Platform that is Durable and Easy to Clean
Tare Feature and Auto Turnoff
Batteries Included

Now I know many of you might be thinking a great scale like this will be awesome to have in the Kitchen, right? Well you can pick on up here. You can order from Amazon at $39.95 Now if you are excited to win one for yourself or that special person for the Holidays than your in luck! There will be Two Winners.
