PRODUCT REVIEW: Resistance Bands by The Body Shop

Dare I say that one of the hardest habits to create is a workout regimine. It's one of those lifelong habits that you start, stop, and start again so many times that you lose count. And of course, then there comes along all of the most  new and innovative tools that are supposed to help make everything easier, quicker, and produce ore results. I must say that I have tried a lot of workout tools in my day. Everything from various balls, weights, ropes, bands, and whatever else you can think of. However, one thing that I had been wanting to try for months were resistance bands! But where do I start. Do I get the open bands or the loop bands? Do I get the log bands or short bands? And what's the difference in resistance levels of the bands. Ultimately, how do I use these things in order to maximize their effectiveness as a part of my overall fitness goals. Then I tried The Body Factory set of 5 Resistance Body Bands for Fitness/Abs/Physical Therapy/Stretching. Additionally,...

The Beginning of my Journey: 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse by JJ Smith

Hey there Corner Clique!! I'm so excited to start my 10 Day Green Smoothie Cleanse using the book written by JJ Smith!! My book just arrived in the mail!!

Am I the only one who struggles with Sciatica and Back Pain?

MY TWO CENTS: For a very long time, I did not know what that shooting pain was that I continued to feel going down my left leg. I was absolutely clueless!! I didn't know anything about sciatica or chronic back pain and certainly didn't feel like I could have these symptoms at such a young age. However, being in my thirties with a history or cheerleading injuries, retail jobs in college, athletic wear and tear, fluctuating weight gain, genetics, and a host of other contributors, I begin to understand more about why my back was hurting me so badly and why my sciatic nerve pain was rearing its ugly head. I begin to look for non-surgical solutions and I found one in the ComfiLife Coccyx Cushion for Sciatica & Back Pain. According to the Mayo Clinic : Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body. Sc...

Perfect Music In My Shower.... And Its Not My Own Singing LOL

I could not have been more excited to receive this package in the mail today!! It finally came..... My AncordWorks Bluetooth shower speaker in Army Green. And while I'm not the easiest critic on new technology because I've tried some duds in my day, I could wait to rip open the Amazon box on this little ray of sunshine. It didn't disappoint!! I had been considering purchasing a BlueTooth speaker for quite some time but there are so many on the market these days that I had a hard time narrowing down my choices. I considered a "Beats By Dre" brand but ultimately, I just don't believe the hype about them. I think they are too expensive and are mostly recommended based on the celebrity fan fare associated with Dr. Dre and the brand. While I am, of course, a fan of Dre, I wasn't about to drop over $100+ bucks for a simple speaker, especially considering I probably wouldn't use it daily. As you can see, I've been living in the stone age using this a...

HOTEL REVIEW: Our stop in Morris, IL - Comfort Inn by Choice Hotels

Comfort Inn, 70 Gore Rd. W, Morris, IL 60450 It's the middle of January and we stopped in Morris, IL for a night as we continued to travel for our business. There wasn't much at this intersection where the hotel is located but if you cross the bridge into Morris, you will certainly find more options for food and shopping. Morris is a quiet town not far from Metro Chicago. One of the best known things there is the Dresden Nuclear Power Plant. They also have a really nice state park there, as well as host their Annual Corn Festival. I gave them 4 out of 5 stars!! It was a nice hotel, reasonable priced, for a one night stop on our way home. See my review of the hotel below: PARKING: When i was there, it was snowing so I could appreciate that the parking lot had been cleared of the snow and salted. There was plenty of parking available for the amount of guest and it was well lit. EASE OF CHECK IN/CHECK OUT: The agent was friendly and check in and out was a breeze. ...

BLOGMAS Day 01 - 10 Women-Owned, Minority Small Businesses to support during the holidays!!

Happy December Corner Clique!!! I can't believe that the year is almost over!! It's like 2017 flew right by us. It's been a year full of ups and down, curves and loops, and thankfully growth and blessings!! This was my second full year in business for my newest business venture and it was a doozie. They say that it takes about 3 years to really get a brand new business off the ground, so I'm looking forward to next year being the charm and hitting m sweet spot in that venture. My other businesses are moving along well, but I must admit, I've neglected them a bit in order to give my full focus to my less established venture. But luckily, they can pretty much sustain themselves, for the time being. Speaking of business, I decided to make my first Blogmas post about some of my favorite Minority, women-owned businesses. They are listed in no particular order and all offer something very special to the world. They all have products and services that are the be...
