Review: JNL Fusion: Lower Body Fusion & Lean Legs
Jennifer Nicole Lee, 2012

This disc contains two lower body workouts. Jennifer leads these workouts in a gym with a group background exercisers. You will need dumbbells and an optional cordless rope for both workouts. Music options are available.

Fusion Lower Body: This is a 28 min lower body & cardio circuit. Two exercise (one LB & one cardio) are performed three times. Exercises include: lunge, plyo lunge, dip, plank frog hops, squat to kick, squat jacks, pliets, squat side kicks, crab plyo kicks, calf raises, and cross country skiing. I rate this workout advanced! Love that the cardio exercise often mimics the previous strength exercise.

Lean Legs: This is a 29 min lower body & cardio circuit workout. You perform one cardio & one LB strength exercise three times. Exercises include: squats, squat hops, split lunges, jump rope, sumo squats, plyo jacks, 1 leg balance deadlift, scissor jacks, calf raises, Heisman drill, bridge, & superman leg raises. I rate this routine solid to high intermediate. The advanced mod shows a band option.

The w/o’s are different from each other & compliment each other well. Jennifer has a great energy, is very motivating and provides great form pointers. The exercisers are using lighter weights but I found I could use moderately heavy poundage and really burn out my muscles while still keeping pace. The workouts really allow you to go at your own pace. I received this dvd to review.

People are always looking for easy ways to consume more veggies as part of a healthy diet. That’s where Veggie Patch comes in. They’ve developed inspired vegetable creations that taste great, are easy to make and are good for you. And with so many delicious varities- you and your entire family will find something you love! Why not make a meatless Monday? With Veggie Patch- youre whole family will be excited about enjoying their wonderful vegetable products! Make good for you food fun & delicious!

With amazingly delicious varieites such as Chik’n Cutlets, Meatless Meatballs, Falafel, and more- you are sure to find a few varities to your liking. More reasons to love the Veggie Patch Meatless products:  NO ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVES, GOOD SOURCE OF PROTEIN, 0G TRANS FAT, and are AVAILABLE IN THE PRODUCE AND FROZEN AISLE!  I found them at my local Safeway store and I was pleasantly surprised that they are affordabley priced! I love that the company has made such yummy kid-friendly meat free products that are high in protein to keep your little ones fueled for their days. Healthy, “fast” food is rare, something the little ones like- even more rare; which is why the Belles are very happy to have had the opportunity to review some of the fantastic family approved Meatless Veggie Patch products!

Lindsey had the pleasure of reviewing the Falafel and the Meatless Meatballs . I absolutely loved both. I am a huge fan of falafel but often they are full of fat and deep fried, well not the Veggie Patch Falafel- crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, filling & satisfying with a  fantastic flavor. I was very impressed and will certainly be buying them again. I also LOVED the Meatless Meatballs- I will admit I was a little unsure of what to expect in this category but I am pleased to tell you that not only did I enjoy them, but DH did as well! That really says a lot as DH is not into health food but he is in to MEAT. Truth be told- I didnt tell him they were meatless (hehe) until after he ate them and he didnt even know! Bam- take that DH :) We enjoyed them as is as a quick and easy snack but these would be really good on a sandwich- a Meatless Meatball hero or on spaghetti. YUM!

Maria was lucky enough to try the Chik’n Nuggets and Meatless Buffalo Wings . I wanted to have my daughter test out the Chik’n Nuggets since she is such a fan of the chicken variety – well resutls are in and she loved them! She was a happy camper and enjoyed them for her lunch. I got the Meatless Buffalo Wings for my husband and I to try as we are big fans of spicy. DH was  actually excited to try them- and we both really enjoyed them! Just the right amount of spice and so much better for you than typical greasy deep fried chicken wings. I was happy to see that they are carried at my local market and cant wait to try the other varities of Veggie Patch meatless products. Next on my list are the Veggie Dogs. I can’t wait to throw a couple of these on the grill! I am really excited that Veggie Patch makes such delicious kid-friendly vegetable products! Their website also has some fun kid activities !

HUGE Congrats to the winner of our Christmas in July giveaway: Jessica B!!

And another HUGE Congrats to the winner of our Darcee’s Hope Bestie Buds giveaway: Charlotte B !!

The winners have been emailed and has 48 hours to respond & claim their prizes. Thank you to everyone who entered and a HUGE thank you to Sportline and Darcee’s Hope for the opportunity to host the awesome giveaways!

WubbaNub ‘s are SO cute I knew I must have one!!! WubbaNub’s really are a must have necessity for all parents and babies! The WubbaNub pacifier is made of medical grade silicone and BPA free. The soft plush portion provides comfort to the touch and makes it so much easier for the baby’s little hands to grasp and manipulate the pacifier them self. Which means fewer bouncing, rolling and lost pacifiers and less rooting around in the stroller or bag to find the pacifier.

WubbaNub’s come in a large assortment of adorable must have characters! I love the yellow duck and of course the Tabby Kitten but I think my favorite is the Green Frog. Good news- you dont have to just choose one, get a variety for your little ones, stimilate their senses with the bright colors & fun shaped WubbaNub’s. Parents everywhere have recognized the peaceful tranquility their children received and spread the word along to others- nothing says more about the quality of a product than a parents proud endorsement!

My God-son recently born loves his binky! He adores his WubbaNub! I had the pleasure of reviewing the WubbaNub Monkey Pacifier - which is perfect since his bedding set is also monkey themed!If you like the monkey as much as I do head on over & get one as it is a limited Edition WubbaNub Monkey is sure to be a favorite of baby AND Mom and Dad. Soft limbs and long tail are just the right size for little hands to grasp and keep the pacifier close. I love that when it falls out of his mouth- it stays within his reach. He can easily grab it. Even when he was too young to grab it- at least I knew right where it was and could easily grab it for him. Nothing worse than the pacifier falling on the dirty floor and rolling around to never be seen again.  And of course the best part is that the pacifier is BPA free!!!


WubbaNub’s make perfect shower gifts or congrats gifts after the baby is born! I highly reccomend them and so does my God-son! With a ton of cute varities you will find one thats just right for you and your little one. Other features I love:

  • WubbaNub™ functions as one! Patented design prevents pacifier from being lost, dropped or even forgotten!
  • Carefully calculated weight and size of the plush animal keeps the WubbaNub Pacifier near baby’s mouth, whether in the car seat, baby sling, carrier and stroller and even while you hold your baby!
  • Plush animal makes it easy for baby to grasp and manipulate the pacifier.
  • Hand Washable or Machine Washable

Hello, Im Lindsey & I’m a Torani Syrup lover!!! With so many fabulous flavors what’s not to love! Torani just seems to make everything better! I love that they offer so many sugar free varities and whats better is that Torani syrups are sweetened with Splenda,  so we can feel good about enjoying it and sharing the deliciousness with the whole family!

With amazingly delicious flavors like: Banana’s Foster , Pumpkin Pie , Almond Roca , Cheesecake , White Chocolate, Peach , Toasted Marshmallow , Blue Raspberry , and SO MANY MORE – there is something for everyone. Now that I’m looking through their list – I have added quite a few to my grocery list!

There are so many ways to use your Torani flavorings! Obviously they are delicious in hot or iced coffees and lattes, cappuccino’s and more. But have you tried them in your iced teas ? YUM- add some peach to fresh brewed tea for a delicious resfreshing treat on a hot summer day! How about in baking? Have you tried adding them to your muffin, cake, or brownie recipes? Make that recipe your very own by adding your favorite Tonani flavor! We love to use our Torani syrups in our smoothies of course! Add Raspberry, Cherry, or Banana to your fruit or vanilla smoothies for a fun twist. And of course add Sugar Free Salted Caramel, Butterscotch, or French Vanilla to your chocolate or vanilla protein shakes for a complete breakfast or after workout snack!

I have noticed that Torani has a ton of super unique & fun flavors! Have you seen their Bacon, Cupcake, or Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough? Seriously mouthwatering! The Torani website provides a complete recipe section so you will never run out of ideas! Another fun idea is to use in adult beverages for the over 21 crowd or in milkshakes for the kids! Bacon and Cupcake could have come in handy at a few of my recent theme  parties- darn I wish I’d have known about them before! Well now I know!

Kettlebell Kickboxing Scorcher Series Diversity Review and Details

Kettlebell Kickboxing Scorcher Series was created by fitness and martial arts expert Dasha Libin. Kettlebells continue to grow in popularity every year because they provide a quick and efficient two-for-one workout that burns major calories. Kettlebell training not only gives you strength training benefits but cardiovascular benefits as well. Martial Arts is one of the best ways to achieve overall fitness because it develops coordination, balance, power and strength. Kettlebell Kickboxing fuses the two disciplines giving you one of the best ways to train, reach your goals and achieve a peak level of fitness.  Kettlebell Kickboxing Scorcher Series is a full body system that increases ones strength, endurance, flexibility and cardiovascular conditioning, all while simultaneously melting away unwanted body fat.

Kettlebell Kickboxing Scorcher Series – Diversity is a twenty-six minute total body workout. Dasha Libin is joined by four background exercisers – one of which shows beginner modifications and one shows advanced options. For the workout you will need a kettlebell – no more than twenty pounds is recommended. A modifier is available to show the exercises using a dumbbell. An exerciser also performs the workout without shoes as this workout is suitable to no foot wear. You will also need an optional floor mat for this workout depending on your workout surface.

Kettlebell Kickboxing Scorcher Series – Diversity is a total body circuit workout that alternates between the disciplines of kettlebell training and kickboxing. Though each of the Kettlebell Kickboxing workouts offer a total body workout, Diversity is, well, different, ;) in that it places a greater emphasis on providing a functional workout that focuses on the core and is performed on a floor mat. The Diversity workout does not include a warm-up but begins with the alternating circuits. Kettlebell Kickboxing – Diversity is formatted in much the same manner as its counterparts and consists of two circuits performed twice. Each circuit consists of a cycle of four exercises – kettlebell, kickboxing, an exercise to elevate the heart rate – followed by a brief recovery break. The cycle is then repeated to complete the circuit. Each of the exercises are performed for one minute. In Diversity, Dasha utilizes the kettlebell exercises to effectively elevate the heart rate while still giving you a total body workout. Again, many of the exercises are performed on one side before repeating them on other side. The cardio portion of the circuits include horizontal cardio exercises – think mountain climbers – to get the heart rate up. The cardio exercise in the second cycle of the circuit is amplified to boost calorie burn. The workout concludes with a much needed cooldown and stretch.

Kettlebell Kickboxing Scorcher Series – Diversity is a fun, efficient kettlebell and kickboxing fusion workout. The workout is adaptable to all fitness levels by following the appropriate modifier, adjusting weight selection or exercise intensity. Dasha is very upbeat and pleasant, gives form pointers, offers encouragement and thoroughly explains the benefits, effectiveness and target of each exercise. She does a great job coaching the background exercisers while still being an active participant in the workout.

Review: JNL Fusion: Crazy Circuit Cardio
Jennifer Nicole Lee, 2012

This is a 29 min bicep, chest, & cardio circuit workout. Jennifer leads this workout in a gym with a group background exercisers who provide various intensity options. You will need a pair of moderately heavy dumbbells & an optional cordless jump rope. A very short cooldown is also included. Music options are also available.

This workout alternates cardio exercises with bicep and chest exercises. Each exercise is performed for 30 seconds with very little rest in between moves. You perform 2 exercises (one bicep or chest and one cardio) and then repeat those 3 times. Exercises include: bi curls, jump rope, hammer curls, burpee- pushups, side bi curls, plyo squats, V pushups, speed bag shuffle, scissor jacks w/ chest press, wide pushups, horizontal conditioning kick outs, and X pushups to side plank.

Because of the nonstop nature and amount of pushups in the w/o I rate it advanced.  This workout really packs a punch in < 30 min! My chest & biceps were really worked and my heart was pumping- I was drenched in sweat by the end. As always, Jennifers energy is very motivating and her form pointers are spot on. Love the 30 second format and the athletic exercises that are easy to follow and really get the job done in a short amount of time. I received this dvd to review.

With so many activities jam-packed in your day and so little time for anything else, it is often hard to eat healthfully. A smoothie is a quick, convenient way to get a satisfying snack or mini-meal in your day.  So what do The Belles do to Shake Up our smoothies?  Reach for our new BlenderBottle SportMixer, So Delicious and FunBites, of course!

What is a BlenderBottle? It’s not your standard shaker bottle, that’s for sure. With the BlenderBottle , everything you make tastes better, because it is blended better. What makes BlenderBottle different from other shaker bottles? The BlenderBall. Made of surgical-grade stainless steel that won’t rust, chip or peel, the BlenderBall is a wire whisk ball that you simply drop into the BlenderBottle with your smoothie ingredients and shake. It’s like having your own portable mixer or blender with you when you are on the go. The BlenderBottle is made of BPA Free plastic, it is easy to clean and dishwasher safe.  So, how does the SportMixer differ from the Original BlenderBottle? We’re glad you asked. While the SportMixer contains so many of the GREAT qualities of the Original BlenderBottle, the SportMixer also offers a sporty new design, a convenient SportLoop for easy carrying, a rubberized overmolding for a no-slip grip. The SportMixer comes in a variety of colors and two convenient sizes (20 oz and 28 oz) that fit into most car drink holders. The SportMixer is perfect for blending protein powders, nutrition supplements, energy drinks and more!

When the opportunity presented itself to review So Delicious Dairy Free products, the Belles were super-excited. We were both already familiar with their line of products and love that they offer a healthy alternative to dairy. Most of their products are coconut milk based, but they also offer some soy based products as well. So Delicious Dairy Free now also offers Almond Plus Almond Milk ! This great new product from So Delicious delivers the full spectrum of nine essential amino acids that your body needs, and five times the protein of most other almond milks. Available in Original, Unsweetened and Vanilla it is a must-have if you are looking for a soy-free and dairy-free alternative for your smoothies, cereal, or on its own. So Delicious is the perfect dairy alternative for those looking to cut or decrease their dairy intake and the perfect delicious way to start your day. We love to use So Delicious Dairy Free AlmondPlus when preparing our breakfast smoothies to start our day off right. But the goodness doesn’t stop there.  Check out the huge variety of So Delicious dairy free products. Some other EXCITING new products include their new Greek-style yogurts which are HIGH protein and delicious. So Delicious offers a huge variety of yummy frozen treats as well. The Belles love that So Delicious offers so many dairy free options for those that can not tolerate or are cutting back on dairy! We love that So Delicious makes frozen treats, cultured products, and beverages DAIRY FREE for all to enjoy!

Looking for a creative and fun way to perk up your smoothies? The Belles recently discovered FunBites ! These non-sharp kitchen tools can quickly turn a boring normal smoothie into a fun and delicious meal in seconds. Each FunBites is made from BPA free plastic and does not have any sharp edges. Relying on pressure, by firmly pressing down on each side and rocking back and forth, FunBites cuts your food all the way through.  Then, simply insert the matching popper top into the cutter and eject the perfectly bite-sized shaped pieces. Currently FunBites is available in two shapes:  Luv it!  which creates one big heart with ten geometric shapes or Cube it! which creates twelve bite-sized squares. And FunBites is great for families with children to shake up your kid’s school lunch – no need to worry about little hands grasping this tool as it is child friendly with no sharp edges. They are perfect to get even the pickiest eaters to eath their food and try something new or eat healthier.

Review: JNL Fusion: Total Body Transformer
Jennifer Nicole Lee, 2012

This is a 32 min active core & core focused cardio interval workout. Jennifer leads this workout in a gym with a group background exercisers who provide various intensity options. You will need an optional cordless jump rope & a towel for this workout. A very short cooldown is also included. Music options are also available.

Each exercise is performed for 30 seconds with very little rest in between moves. You perform 2 exercises (one core focused cardio & one active core) and then repeat those 3 times. Exercises include: donkey kick plank moguls, scissor jacks w/ torso twists, towel torso twists, mogul hops, pony, elbow to hip pulls, standing pikes, pony, speed rope, V knee pulls, 1 leg pike hops, crab kicks, and V sit flutter kicks.

I rate this a high intermediate workout. Unique & different exercises from the other JNL workouts.  Love that the core work is active & keeps the heart rate up and that the cardio work also hits the core. Jennifer has a great energy & her & the crowd are very motivating. I love the 30 second format that really allows you to give each exercise your all, time really flies,  no boredom, and no frantic transitions. All the exercises are easy to follow and athletic in nature. I received this dvd to review.

The Belles had the pleasure of reviewing the SUPER cute Cupcakes & Milk Bestie Buds and the Peanut Butter & Jelly Bestie Buds - both so adorable and both so well received from our little ones. My niece was ECSTATIC to receive her Bestie Bud necklace for her birthday last week- and how cute is this:  she gave the other one to her sister, ahhhhh! Each set includes two necklaces- one for you and one for your Bestie- SO much cuter than those “be fri” hearts from back in the day arent they?

One friend wears peanut butter the other wears jelly and when you are together your sandwhich is complete. They JUST re-designed these cuties and they now have two charms on each necklace. A large one to represent your bestie and a tiny one to represent you. SO unbelievably cute!

Beyond adorable is the Cupcakes and Milk set- also available in Cupcakes and Chocolate Milk- something for everyone! So sweet and perfect for any cupcake lover out there :) One bestie wears the large cupcake and small milk, the other wears the large milk and the small cupcake and your friendship is complete no matter where you are!

Darcee’s Hope offers SO many other ridiculously cute must haves! Be sure to check out her Cutesy & Cool bibs , Lucky Wishes jewelry & candles, her Karma Grams and more! We also love the Donut & Coffe and the PopTart & Milk Bestie Buds! (ok we love them all!)
