I am not the best at remembering to take my vitamins. I dislike taking large vitamin pills, and I also dislike chewable ones because they always taste horrible. I have tried gummy vitamins however I have not found one yet that tastes good. Most have the artificial taste. I have finally found a delicious gummy vitamin that I actually look forward to taking each day.

I was recently contacted by a company called Vitafive. What is Vitafive? Vitafive offers personalized gummy vitamin packs sent right to your door every 4 weeks. With Vitafive, your vitamins are all prepackaged into one convenient pack for each day of the week. You can take them anywhere with you, no more worrying each morning putting them in a little ziplock bag to take with you or forgetting about the bottle that is in your medicine cabinet. These are so convenient to take to work, school or even on vacation! The biggest pro? THEY TASTE AMAZING!!

The vitamins that Vitafive offers are:

Probiotic
Vitamin D3
Vitamin C
Multivitamin
Calcium and D3
Biotin
Melatonin
Omega 3

You can customize your own vitamin packs with up to five vitamin choices. The more vitamins you add the more savings you will receive. Add a minimum of 3 gummies and you will receive free shipping. If you do not wish to customize, Vitafive offers vitamin health packs for adults and children. Adult packs start at $24 and Kids packs start at $19. Below is the price chart for customizing your own vitamin packs.

Great things about Vitafive:

Gluten Free
Vegetarian
Kosher & Halal
Made in the USA
Vitamins are safe from melting in temperatures of up to 140 degrees
Dietitian approved
3rd party tested

I was able to choose 3 vitamin choices to try out and review. I picked a Multivitamin, Vitamin C and a Probiotic. A 28 day supply arrived quickly. Each daily dose is packaged and ready to take on the go! Each pack has my name on it (this is great if you are buying vitamins for different members of your family) and shows what kind of vitamins are in the package. They each also have a best by date. I love that I can keep these vitamins in my purse or even at my desk at work so I never forget to take them. The best part is they are really delicious!! They are not sticky like other gummy vitamins and they have no artificial taste. They really taste like fruit to me. I love that they are made in the USA as well. Each vitamin is a different color, so you always know which one you are taking. The children’s packs are perfect for my kids since in the mornings they can just grab a pack themselves open and eat them. So easy for kids!

In conclusion, these vitamins are not only super convenient with their packaging, but also delicious and very affordable !! I actually look forward to taking my vitamins each day now!

I know you will be as satisfied as I am with your new vitamin packs, and the convenience they offer, but if for some reason you aren’t, you can cancel your subscription at anytime with no hassle.

Reducing the Expense of Your Move

June 21, 2017 By Anne 1 Comment

Whether your move is job-related or you’ve decided that you would prefer to live in another state, , especially with children, is a big deal. There’s a lot of planning with things like hiring the movers, packing up, eliminating what you don’t need and scheduling it for the right time of year. Moving can become quite expensive, but with a list in hand and careful planning, you can save money.

Hiring the right movers

The movers you hire will be the ones responsible for the care of your entire worth of belongings. For this reason, you need to make sure that you do your research on several interstate moving companies before making a final decision. Moving companies are not all alike and making sure that their overall customer satisfaction rate is high, is very important. Get quotes and then decide which one with your combined research fairs the best.

Avoid peak seasons

One of the biggest ways to save money on your move is to avoid the peak season. For most companies, this generally falls between the middle of May through the end of September. Another way to save even more is to schedule the move for a weekday. Since most people want to move when their children are out of school or on the weekends, you can really enjoy a huge savings.

Do the packing yourself

Packing up your things, especially if you have a large family can become overwhelming. However, if you opt to do this work on your own you can save hundreds, even up to a thousand dollars on the original quote. For that price decrease, it’s well worth it. If you’re lucky enough to have time on your hands and over a month before the actual move, you can go room by room and do a little bit each week, starting with the off-season items and forward. This way the packing up process won’t seem so tedious and time-consuming. If you decide to do the packing yourself, just keep in mind the number and the sizes of the boxes that you got your original quote for. If you go over, those savings you received may all but disappear. Another point to keep in mind is to pack each box up carefully. If any damage occurs you will be responsible.

Getting the most space out of each box

While you’re under contract for a specific amount of boxes, there are ways to get more space out of each one. There are many products on the market that are great for packing up clothing, blankets and even stuffed animals. Many of them reduce the air with the use of a vacuum. This lets you double the load on several of your boxes. Since you need your things to arrive in good condition, it’s also important to wrap glasses and breakables secure. Bubble wrap, white newspaper, linens and even coffee filter are all essentials.

Purchasing boxes

Planning out a move is critical. It gives you time ahead to enjoy savings in many ways. Take boxes, for instance, if you have a month or more before you need to move, you can drop by your local supermarket or retail store and inquire about their shipment dates. Most companies still toss out their boxes and if you’re lucky enough to reach them before they do you can get you boxes for nothing more than an hour or so of your time. If your move is sudden and your time is of the essence, you can still save some money by purchasing them on your own versus through the moving company. Just make certain that you have the right sizes and count.

Reduce your cargo

If you’ve lived in your current residence for several years, you probably have a lot of things in your possession that you no longer need or want. If this is the case hosting a yard sale or donating the items to a church or charity is a great way to give something to another and reduce the cost of your move.

Moving doesn’t have to cost you your hard-earned savings or cause extreme amounts of daily stress. With careful planning and the willingness to do some of the work on your own you can cut your original estimate down significantly.

June 13, 2017 By Marijean Leave a Comment

WALT DISNEY ANIMATION STUDIOS UNWRAPS

“OLAF’S FROZEN ADVENTURE”

New Disney Holiday Featurette to Debut in Front of

Disney•Pixar’s “Coco” on Nov. 22, 2017

Walt Disney Animation Studios (WDAS) and Pixar Animation Studios are teaming up this holiday season when WDAS’ new featurette “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” opens in front of Disney•Pixar’s original feature film “Coco” on Nov. 22, 2017. The new trailer for the featurette will run in front of Disney•Pixar’s “Cars 3,” beginning this Friday, June 16, when Lightning McQueen’s new big-screen adventure opens in theaters nationwide.

“I’m thrilled that Disney Animation’s featurette ‘Olaf’s Frozen Adventure’ will be coming to theaters in November with Pixar’s ‘Coco,’” said John Lasseter, chief creative officer, Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios. “It’s a perfect pairing – they’re both beautiful, heartfelt films about families and how people carry traditions forward. I can’t wait for audiences to get to see both of these terrific projects together on the big screen.”

Featuring four new original songs, the 21-minute featurette welcomes the original cast and characters back to the big screen, including Olaf (voice of Josh Gad), who is on a mission to harness the best holiday traditions for Anna (voice of Kristen Bell), Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel) and Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff). Directed by Emmy®-winning filmmakers Kevin Deters and Stevie Wermers-Skelton (“Prep & Landing”), produced by Oscar® winner Roy Conli (“Big Hero 6”), with original songs by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson (“Between the Lines”), “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” will be in theaters for a limited time beginning Nov. 22.

“Stevie and I were deeply honored to be entrusted by John [Lasseter] to create an all-new story with these characters we love,” said Deters. “We’re thrilled to have our film play on the big screen with ‘Coco’ during the holidays.”

“We loved getting in the recording booth with these incredible actors who know their characters inside and out,” added Wermers-Skelton. “We can’t wait for audiences to see the featurette, enjoy their performances, and hear the incredible new songs written by Elyssa and Kate.”

“Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” celebrates characters who won over audiences worldwide when “Frozen” first hit the big screen in 2013. Earning more than $1.27 billion globally, the film won two Academy Awards® (best animated film and best original song with “Let It Go”) and a Golden Globe® (best animated feature film). Slated for November 2019, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ untitled feature-length follow-up to the hit film reunites filmmakers Jennifer Lee, Chris Buck and Peter Del Vecho with the Grammy®- and Oscar®-winning songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.

ABOUT WDAS’ “OLAF’S FROZEN ADVENTURE”

Olaf (voice of Josh Gad) teams up with Sven on a merry mission in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 21-minute featurette “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure.” It’s the first holiday season since the gates reopened and Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) and Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel) host a celebration for all of Arendelle. When the townspeople unexpectedly leave early to enjoy their individual holiday customs, the sisters realize they have no family traditions of their own. So, Olaf sets out to comb the kingdom to bring home the best traditions and save this first Christmas for his friends.

Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael García Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.
