Technogel Sleeping Anatomic Pillow Review

by Life According To GreenVics


TechnogelSleeping.com Anatomic Pillow 

TechnogelSleeping.com
(Anatomic Pillow for Side & Back Sleepers)
A good nights sleep is very important to me.  Being a Mother of a 22 month old boy whom wakes up early, and a husband that works 12+ hours a day I am always up, and doing something.

I have trouble sleeping from an ORIF in my left leg.  That is inner metal hardware drilled from tibia plateau down the bone that makes it so I can bend my leg enough to walk.  I prefer to sleep on my back, and my side.  I go through a lot of pillows because of the way I fold it to be comfortable enough to sleep.

Recently I reviewed the Technogel Pillow called Anatomic by Dr. Scholls.

My first thought of  the pillow when I opened the box was it's pretty heavy.  When I pushed down on the pillow the techno gel was extremely soft, and bounced back to normal when the pressure was off of it.


I was also impressed by the 100% cotton breathable, zippered pillow cover.


To give this pillow a fair review I have been using it for almost a month now.  Some nights I sleep on my back, and some on my side.

When laying on the pillow while on my back the Technogel literally contours around my head and neck.  It made me feel like it was perfectly shaped for me.

My favorite though was laying on my side.  With other pillows I will place my hand under the pillow and fold it some so I can sleep on my side while still maintaining head/neck support.  When I used the Technogel Pillow I found myself not folding the pillow at all, or even trying to.  When I placed my arm under the pillow, and my head & neck ontop both sides contoured to my body.

I have  been experiencing a better sleep routine as well.  Even when Little Man  awakes during the night/morning.  I will get up and calm him down some, then we go back to sleep.  I've noticed it's a lot easier for me to fall back asleep.  I just feel better, and I awake easier to start my day.  It really does have to do with comfortable bedding that contours to your body, and how you sleep it's also great to keep a sleep schedule. Believe me I know it's hard to do this, but also if you can't sleep instead of tossing and turning it's better to get up, do something that's relaxing and then try to go back to bed.  I also like to sleep with the room dark, and cool.

This pillows technology is much different than foam.  It's more durable, there is 3-Dimensinal technology, and it's thermal regulated.  If you're interested in learning more about how this pillow can even help reduce and distribute pressure to help blood flow you can find out more below.

There is a pillow for every type of sleeper.

This would make a great Gift, being I already buy family members new pillows each year.  Technology is always changing, so why not upgrade your pillow too? Hope you enjoyed my review, and wishing you an abundance of sweet dreams whenever you fall asleep tonight.

Smoobees Review & Giveaway

Life According To GreenVics Holiday Gift Guide


This is the Smoobee Magic No Cry Brush!  Both my son, and I have a very sensitive scalp.  If you look at the brush, it's different than other brushes.  There are two different types of bristles.  Small softer black ones inside, and the long white ones on the outside.  This gave a more even, gentler stroke when I brushed our hair.


Every other year I donate 10+ inches to Locks of Love.  So I love my hair, and a hair brush that does not break my hair is always good.  Knowing what I like, and what works best, gives me a sense of relief when I use it on my kids hair. 


The brushes handle is wooden, it's very well made, and worth the $17.99.  They can also be bedazzled! Check out Smoobees site for cute ideas. Tho, I think they are great for all kids hair, not just for girls.  My sons hair is getting long, and it's perfect for his.

I received this product for free.  You can also enter to win one for free too!  Just enter below via RaffleCopter.  The only mandatory entries are to like Smoobee on facebook, and to Like my page, Life According To GreenVics.  The brush really is a great find, and would be super cute as a gift.

Emerson Creek Pottery Go Green Apple Baker Review & Giveaway

Life According To GreenVics Holiday Gift Guide

This is completely non-toxic, 100% Virginia Clay.  These Go Green Apple Bakers by Emerson Creek Pottery are hand made in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  

I absolutely love this apple baker.  It's so easy to use, and works fantastic! Below is a sweet treat my husband made for our Toddler. 


Instead of a bunch of overly sugar treats, we cored an apple, placed it in the middle of the apple baker.


We then added just a pinch of sugar, and some Ground Cinnamon.


And let the apple bake in the Oven, it was done in no time.


Rather my husband make this as a snack for our toddler than any other sweet treat.  Personally, I wanted Vanilla IceCream in the middle of mine after baking but.. Someone ate all my Ice Cream!

A few ideas,  Bake apples with the Go Green Apple Baker, You can even do 3-4 apples and place around the apple baker.  Once the apple has baked with Cinnamon Sugar, Let cool to warm, and add some Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.

Or, You could even bake a bunch of these apples, cut into slices, and use for plain oatmeal, or to just eat alone as a snack.  

Check Emerson Creek Pottery out on Facebook!! You can also enter below to win your own Apple Baker!

Get 75% more from your Fiber Supplement with Konsyl Original Review & Giveaway

by,  Life According To GreenVics


Konsyl Original Psyllium Fiber


Get 75% more from your Fiber Supplement with Konsyl Original,
enter for a chance to win Konsyl Orignal PLUS 
& A $75.00 American Express Giftcard!

I don't care who you are,  or how old you are.. things like psyllium fiber are needed.  Even if you think your diet is high in fiber from the foods you eat.. most of the time it is not enough.  The fact that Konsyl is Heart Healthy, and Helps lower cholestrol should be enough to make us.  As humans,  as living organisms want to regulate our bodies to work to their fullest potentials. 

Konsyl has 75% more psyllium fiber than competiters to ensure that users will receive the full benefits of psyllium fiber. It is also Sugar & Gluten free.  100% Natural.

To review Konsyl I was sent the packet powder pysllium fibers, and an easy to use shaker cup.  The packet pouches are perfect for having a few in the car for when you just don't feel good for the day,  maybe you're sluggish, and your body just doesn't feel like itself.  My husband always has a few extra packs in the car also in case he forgets to drink his in the morning.

For each packet, you need 8 oz of water.  You shake for a few seconds, and drink quickly.  It's important to drink quickly so the fiber doesn't thicken too much,  that can be a choking hazard ONLY if you dont use the proper amount of water, shake & drink fast enough.  

If you don't have a shaker cup, just use your water bottle.  Once the water bottle if half way full, thats about 8 oz.  Add to that.  It's really good in flavored water too.


I always feel more like myself when I take fiber.  I'm not as sluggish.  Everyones body is different, but in reality, everyones body needs fiber.  

In Celebration of offering 75% More fiber, Konsyl is also offering one lucky follower to win Konsyl Original & A $75.00 Amex Gift Card.
