<p><strong>My Thoughts-</strong><br />
I have not found a <a href="http://www.toilettreeproducts.com/" target="_blank">ToiletTree Product</a> I didn&#8217;t like. And I am very pleased to say I LOVE both the Stainless Steel Nail Clipper with Nail File &#038; Pouch and Slant Tip Stainless Steel Tweezers<br />
The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-ToiletTree-Products-Replacement-Guarantee/dp/B006X230Q0/ref%3dsr_1_12?ie=UTF8&#038;m=A3QR44KON2MLZ3&#038;s=generic&#038;qid=1327357486&#038;sr=1-12" target="_blank">Stainless Steel Nail Clipper with Nail File and Pouch</a> looks very classy. The pouch helps keep the clippers and file all in one place. The nail clippers are of very high quality. They cut my nails nice and smoothly, no snags. They worked very well on both my toe nails and my finger nails.<br />
The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Slant-Stainless-Tweezers-ToiletTree-Products/dp/B006X1A1N6/ref%3dsr_1_8?ie=UTF8&#038;m=A3QR44KON2MLZ3&#038;s=generic&#038;qid=1327357486&#038;sr=1-8" target="_blank">Slant Tip Stainless Steel Tweezers</a> are amazing too. Very high quality again and work so smoothly. I love that I am able to pluck my brows without have to tug at the hair or pinch my skin all the time. The shape of the tweezers work very nicely for grabbing the unwanted hair with no problems.<br />
I love that the tweezers actually fit into the pouch for the clippers. That way I can keep them all in one place.<br />
If you&#8217;re looking for something make of high quality material and with a Lifetime Warranty I would highly suggest you check out the &#8220;Grooming Line&#8221; by ToiletTree Products. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know my brother would LOVE to see this!!</p>
<p><a href="http://kwsymphony.ca" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.bassgiraffe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/DW-FF.jpg" alt="" title="DW-FF" width="278" height="207" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9770" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY –<br />
A live-orchestra, multi-media experience you won’t want to miss!</strong><br />
<em>“The mere mention of a title from Final Fantasy will bring a roar from adoring fans.  Nobuo Uematsu is a rock star to these concert-goers.” </em> <strong>Neil Kimel, 2nd Horn Lyric Opera of Chicago, Grant Park Symphony</strong></p>
<p>This thrilling performance combines state-of-the-art videos and art stills shown on massive screens highlighting the most memorable experiences of Square Enix’s world-renowned Final Fantasy video games all set to live, award-winning orchestral music.  The live soundtrack will be performed by the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony (KWS) and singer Susan Calloway, led by conductor Arnie Roth.  Join fellow gamers or come to appreciate the true musicianship of composer Nobuo Uematsu at the Centre In The Square on Tuesday, February 28 at 8 pm.<br />
<strong>Nobuo Uematsu</strong> is one of the most celebrated composers in the history of video game music.  Recognized for his work on the Final Fantasy series and other games, he has been a major contributor to the increasing appreciation and awareness of video game music. The Final Fantasy VIII theme song, &#8220;Eyes on Me,&#8221; composed and produced by Uematsu, featured Hong Kong pop star Faye Wong. &#8220;Eyes On Me&#8221; sold 400,000 copies and won &#8220;Song of the Year (Western Music)&#8221; at the 14th Annual Japan Gold Disc Awards in 1999, the first time in history that music from a video game had won this award. In 2001, Nobuo Uematsu was named as one of the &#8220;Innovators&#8221; in Time Magazine&#8217;s Time 100: the Next Wave Music feature.<br />
“Uematsu was welcomed by his screaming fans as if he were a rock star,” stated KWS Principal Trumpet Larry Larson of the KWS’ previous performance of Final Fantasy.  “The audience was on fire right from the dimming of the lights at the top of the show.  And what a terrific thrill to BE the live soundtrack while the film-video game is being shown. Uematsu’s scores to Final Fantasy play out like the thrilling, blockbuster movie soundtracks that I love to listen to.”<br />
Conducting this performance is Grammy Award-winning artist <strong>Arnie Roth</strong>, known for his work with a renowned list of international recording and performing artists from pop music, classical, R&#038;B, rock, and musical theater, including Il Divo, Diana Ross, Jewel, The Irish Tenors, Charlotte Church, Josh Groban, Patrick Stewart, Branford Marsalis and Andrea Bocelli. Roth has conducted many of the world’s leading orchestras, and is well known in the world of video game music for his work with Nobuo Uematsu and Square Enix as Music Director and Conductor of Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY and as Music Director and Conductor of PLAY! A <em>Videogame Symphony</em>.<br />
KWS would like to thank Season Sponsor: Sun Life Financial for supporting this performance</p>

<strong>ABOUT-</strong><br />
&#8220;Fit Moms for Life: How to Have Endless Energy to Outplay your Kids&#8221; by Dustin Maher<br />
<em>&#8220;<a href="http://fitmomsforlife.com/" target="_blank">FIT MOMS FOR LIFE</a> chronicles the successes of 31 mothers who used Dustin’s fitness and weight loss program with stellar successes. Armed with personal stories with before and after photos, Dustin takes the reader through the five pillars of fitness: Mindset, Nutrition, Strength Training, Burst Training, and Environment. Ultimately leading to the end goal: Staying Fit for Life. &#8220;</em></p>
<p><strong>My Thoughts-</strong><br />
Before I totally start I have to say I am so very excited to share my thoughts on <a href="http://fitmomsforlife.com/" target="_blank">&#8220;Fit Moms for Life&#8221;</a>.<br />
I learned so much from this book. I thought I knew a lot about health and fitness before reading the book. But I realized there was a lot of things I&#8217;ve been doing to sabotage long term weight loss and health. Dustin goes through 3 aspects. Your thoughts, your fitness and your food. You need a right mind set to be able to succeed in a long and healthy life style. You need to be consuming the right kind of foods at the right time. I even learned more about carbs and the importance of fat/protein in my diet and why sometimes my hormones are out of whack. In fact I think the diet part was my favorite and I learned the most from. I can&#8217;t wait to implement what I learned here for my whole family. I also learned about fitness and what we think is helping is actually hurting us. I&#8217;ve been doing crunches after crunches with no really results, I learned I&#8217;m doing it all wrong.<br />
I don&#8217;t want to give too much away from this book as I think it&#8217;s a great book you should go out and buy and read and share with others. I loved what I learned from this book that I&#8217;m actually going to be purchasing Dustin&#8217;s monthly &#8220;Fit Moms For Life&#8221; DVD program. It really sounds like the program for me and I know I&#8217;ll see results.<br />
One thing that stood out to me about this book is all the success stories written in between each of the chapter of the book. You can read and SEE the results of real moms being able to life a fit, healthy life. I saw plenty of moms who look like me and have 2-3 kids that have had amazing success using Dustin&#8217;s programs.<br />
I really think all moms should read this book and even think about possibly getting one or more of his DVD programs. He understands what moms need and how little of time we have. Plus he has the same &#8220;motto&#8221; I have, no excuses. You can do this, if you really and truly want it.</p>
