New 50-calorie Fudgy Chocolate Mini VitaCakes - Review & Reader Giveaway

2012-01-15T09:57:00.000-06:00

Vitalicious just introduced new 50-calorie Fudgy Chocolate Mini VitaCakes. They are the first 50-calorie product of its kind and the most low-calorie Vitalicious product ever. They are loaded with nutrition too at 2g of protein, 6g of fiber, 14g of carbs, only 1g of fat.

VitaCakes are made from all-natural ingredients and whole grains and have NO artificial coloring or preservatives of any kind.

And its easy to make up for this "indulgence" - it only takes 7 minutes to “walk off” the 50 calories you'll find in each Mini VitaCake. (And, they are only one little point on Weight Watchers PointsPlus program!)

I received a shipment of Fudgy Chocolate Mini VitaCakes and I was hooked at the first bite. They do NOT taste like a healthy or low-cal treat. They are chocolatey, moist and so good! I'm the type who always must have at least a little dessert after a meal. That can end up meaning that I destroy all the healthy eating efforts that I put into the meal. But with the Mini VitaCakes I feel like I am having a "real" dessert, and I'm not sabotaging my efforts!

Fudgy Chocolate Mini VitaCakes are now available exclusively for purchase online at www.vitalicious.com.

Reader Giveaway: One lucky Jinxy Knows Best winner will win a 24-pack of Fudgy Chocolate mini VitaCakes along with a cute little travel case that will let you take 2 mini VitaCakes on the go without fear of crushing them. To enter, fill out the form below by 11:59 pm ET on 1/30/12. (If you don't see the form, click "Read More" below and wait for the form to appear.)

How to Fight and Treat Dry Winter Skin

2012-01-13T08:50:00.002-06:00

Here in Minnesota it has been a bad winter for dry skin. The temps have actually been higher than normal, but our drought in the fall and lack of snow on the ground has made for extra dry air. Our local newscast on WCCO featured some tips to help fight dry winter skin thanks to Dr. Rehana Ahmed.

When it comes to moisturizing your skin, thicker is better. Dr. Ahmed recommends a cream rather than a lotion-based product. If your lotion is very liquid and dries quickly, it won't do the trick. Look for creams that contain ceramides, which adds lipids to the skin. Two products fitting that description are CeraVe moisturizing cream and Cetaphil Restoraderm.

Does drinking more water help fight dry skin? Dr. Ahmed states it is a helpful addition, but you will still need a cream.

To prevent dry skin, avoid taking very hot showers or baths or using harsh soaps. Doing so can strip moisture from the skin. When drying, don't rub your skin with your towel. Pay yourself dry and some of that shower moisture will seep into your skin.

And how about your lips? Lip balms can limit the amount you lick your lips, so they are helpful as licking leads to dryness.

Lastly, olive oil is a good natural moisturizer, but it may stain your clothes and you may walk around smelling like a dish of pasta all day!

My Very Favorite Water Bottle - Aladdin Revive and Refresh Water Bottle - My Review

2012-01-05T11:22:00.000-06:00

I am a water addict. There are a lot worse things to be addicted to, but my addiction does mean that I'm very picky about my water bottles. I have gone through literally dozens of them and just don't like so many of them. But, I have finally found my very favorite water bottle. I have two of them and need to order a couple more. I originally purchased them at Target, which doesn't carry them anymore, but I found them on Amazon. (Woo hoo!)

It is the Aladdin Revive and Refresh Water Bottle in 24 oz. (They also make a smaller version.) I have the style with the charcoal color lid, but several colors are available. It's BPA free of course and very sturdy. It's dishwasher safe, but also is convenient because the entire lid screws off, which makes it easy to wash by hand as well. (I hate water bottles with small tops that you can't get inside to clean - GROSS!) I also like the flip top opening on the lid that isn't too tiny or too big - just perfect.

It's not an expensive bottle either. They run only $9.99 on Amazon.

Take the RealAge Test for FREE - What is YOUR Real Age?

2012-01-04T23:24:00.002-06:00

There are many factors that determine how fast you age. They include your diet, exercise activity, family history, stress, happiness levels and many others. You may have heard about the RealAge Test, designed by Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, on The Today Show, 20/20 or Good Morning America. You can take the RealAge Test for free and see your results. Be prepared - it's an in-depth survey and will take some time for you to complete all the sections. They include Health, Feelings, Diet and Fitness. I was happy to score a few years younger than my real age. However, my habits have been slacking lately, so I need to get back into gear! So, how did YOU rate?

Cut 30% of the Fat from Your Favorite Pei Wei Chicken Entrees with "Stock Velveting"

2012-01-04T07:23:00.001-06:00

I love when restaurants step up and try to help their guests make healthier food choices. Pei Wei is getting into the game by offering a new alternative for its chicken entrees. Rather than the traditional cooking method of searing the chicken in a wok using soy bean oil, you can choose to have your chicken "stock velveted". That means that they steam the chicken in vegetable stock seasoned with onions and ginger. This method of cooking will cut a MINIMUM of 30% of the fat from the dish.

Stock Velvet is available on these entrees: Caramel Chicken, Honey Seared, Orange Peel, Thai Dynamite, Kung Pao, Pei Wei Spicy and Sweet and Sour.
