I am excited to share with you the impressive features of the Britax Chaperone Stroller.

I chose the March of Dimes Walk to give this stroller the ultimate test drive.  I must admit that the features of the Chaperone Stroller really struck me.  My first impression of the stroller was frustration (not a good way to start a review, huh?) Once it was put together, I looked all around for a place to close this structure. I could not figure out how to collapse it. There were no red buttons, no signs that read press this and pull that.  In pure desperation, I had resolved to place the stroller in my trunk open – no need to close it, right? It was when I called my husband on the phone.  He had put the stroller together the night before and surely knew the answer. He chuckled and asked me to look at the seat.  Right there in the middle of the seat, there is was clear as day. This frustration actually turned into my favorite feature of the stroller. I can fold the stroller with one hand. Simply pull a tab in the center of the stroller (after lifting the snack tray) and there you have it!  The stroller I have had for a few years requires me to twist, press, and bring together at the same time. A true challenge.

So at the start of the walk, I placed my 7 month in the stroller.  She currently is in a stage where she wants to sit up to see everything but she doesn’t have the support to not fall over. The five-point harness was perfect for her age. She was snug and secure. Also appreciated by myself, was the large canopy to block the elements, namely the Florida sun.  During the drive, a characteristic that stood out was the all-wheel suspension. The stroller has serious give (as seen in the video HERE.) I wheeled the stroller on the street covered in asphalt, but also tried the wheels on the side of the road with risen tree roots from the canopy foliage above.

My last favorite feature is that the Chaperone Stroller is a great travel system. Britax has the Chaperone Car Seat which goes easily from the car to the stroller.  As someone who is not an owner of this particular piece, I was happy that the stroller included an adapter strap that allowed it to become compatible with my daughter’s car seat.

I am excited to share with you that one Frugal Coupon Living reader will win a Britax Chaperone Stroller of their own. Which one is your ride?

I was so excited to take the Genesis Today challenge from All You Magazine…and 200 of you will be as well!

Genesis Today has three healhty, delicious, and natural drinks – Acai Berry Juice, Goji Berry Juice, and Resveratrol Juice.  The blends are all filled with high levels of vitamins and antioxidants that would make any mother comfortable serving to the whole family.  They also contain ingredients that affect ones mood, focus, stamina, sleep and more.

Let’s Go On a Journey with Their Flavors:

Acai Berry Juice

Genesis Today’s Acai Berry focuses on energy level (need it), weight control (please), skin, hair, nails (want it), and antioxidant levels (will take it!)  It is the Brazillian Beauty Secret.  With a blend of pure Acai and other fruit juices, it contains DOUBLE the Vitamin C of OJ (perhaps a good alternative!) My first thought was that my daughter would LOVE it as yogurt. Since that wasn’t possible, I decided to mixed it up withe some fresh fruit and ice and service it to her with a spoon and a bowl. She asked for second immediately. I couldn’t help but enjoy a glass myself!

Goji Berry Juice

Come on now let’s get happy! The Goji Berry Juice is known for its ability to lift moods and energy. It is a perfect switch from coffee to start off your day.  Loaded with vitamins, minerals, and even liquid Beta Carotene and Lutein (both perfect for site), it helps your endurance so you can last through the day. This particular drink I tried in the morning. I must say that while I am normally most perky in the morning, I might use it again during my lunch hour just to help me make it until the husband gets home!

Resveratrol Juice

Resveratrol Juice struck me as most appropriate for the gym or for supporting one’s immunity during a common infection or cold.  Great for cardiovascular health, youthful energy and appearance, and inflammatory responses, this is another berry juice that contains the secrete ingredient of Resveratrol.  Who has this secret ingredient – the French!  Living on a diet of saturated fats, but maintaining low occurrences of heart disease, the secret is in the ingredients.  I also would add this particular juice to a smoothie and pair up with some of my favorite fruit.

Interested in taking the journey yourself? Genesis Today is available at Walmart, HEB, and Sam’s Club.

Confession Number 113 – I used to iron my hair with a clothes iron.

I have very coarse hair – Half Cuban and half Italian, my hair twists and turns, and loves to frizz at the slightest hint of humidity.  In college, my roommate would iron my hair with a clothes iron. I was amazed with how flat my hair would get, but all the while I was killing my hair – basically I was producing flat, dead hair! Knowing when I got married, my husband wasn’t going to take on this task (despite his vows for better or for worse) I began the cycle of trying every hair iron on the market…and was still searching.

I was thrilled when a precious little package arrived at my door. I was able to try the Hana Professional Flat Iron 1″ from Misikko. Holy Cow I was sold – it is the best flat iron yet!  Besides the Hana, Misikko has many hair straighteners available in different sizes, colors and prices.

Also in my beloved box was something really unique – a personal $50 blank check! When I opened up an envelope, I was touched by its purpose. I was able to make this check out to ANYONE I wanted. I was entrusted by Misikko to make a wise choice of where my check would go. It could be a charity to support Haitian Relief or it could be a neighbor who was going through difficult financial times – talk about paying it forward.  In fact, anyone who makes a Hana Appliance purchase from now until 2/28 will get a check to write to their personal charity or pay-it-forward case.

Of the many things Misikko has to offer, a few that caught my eye:

*Chi Flat Irons for Sale
*Chi Hair Dryers

What Sets the Hana Elite Apart?

*Pure ceramic never peels and is superior at heat distribution, retention, and far infrared conditioning.  Naturally hygienic.

* Floating plates auto-adjust to glide over any texture.

* Flash heats from 140 – 450 degrees for all hair types.

*No slip-grip: heavy duty swivel cord with hanging loop.

* Can flatten hair, create soft curls, flip hair out or even in.

Misikko is also giving Hana Professional Flat Iron 1″ (retail $204.99) to one lucky Frugal Coupon Living reader – I know you will be a thrilled as I!
