Product Review - KLUTCHClub Box

   Today I have a wonderful program to tell you about, KLUTCHclub.  This is a great way to sample some of the newest innovations in health and wellness.  If you are a busy person, it's a great way to get a sample box each month delivered right to your door.  How does KLUTCHclub work?

Each box has over $50 worth of products and you pay only $18 per box for a one month subscription, $17 per box for a 3 month subscription or $16 per box for a 1 year subscription.  Starting this month, there is also a KLUTCHclub box geared for Men! That's right, you can now get that special guy in your life a KLUTCHclub box just for him.

   I was lucky enough to receive the KLUTCHclub box pictured below as a complimentary gift. In my box I received 2 Think Thin crunch bars, a coconut water, a moving comfort gift card, a free Yoga Download class, a Hydroxatone wrinkle reducer serum and a water bottle.  I really loved the Think Thin bars as I had not tried them before.  I'll be buying these again soon.  I liked the Yoga Download site too because they have some great audio and video classes.  Everything I received was great to try out.  I was so excited to see the box when it was delivered in my mailbox.  These are products and services I would seriously try because they are related to health and wellness which is important to me and my family.  I also think if you have someone you'd like to give a healthy, fun gift to, this is it.  I really love the concept of this company and this is one I will keep on my list, especially during the upcoming holiday season. I think it's a great gift at such a reasonable price. Who says healthy isn't fun? These boxes give you a great variety and they are fun as well as exciting.

  The September KLLUTCHclub box for Women looks exciting as well.  Here is a picture below of what you can expect if you buy your first KLUTCHclub box this month.  In the September box there are over $100 worth of health and wellness products to try out.

Tip of the Week - A Pull-Up Workout Anyone Can Do

     This week I'm posting another video from "Reluctantly Healthy" hosted by Judy Greer showing us how to do a pull-up.  If you've been following HLNB for awhile, I was trying to get to the point where I could do a pull-up on my own.  I was practicing hanging and slowly trying to lift.  I never did make it to a full pull-up and kind of gave up.  But watching this video gives me some inspiration!  I think I might be able to do this one. So I will be giving this pull-up a try.  I hope you will too. There is another exercise called the Thruster shown to us by Certified Cross Fit trainer Andy Thompson and some tips to make that one easier too.

Fashion Friday - First Lady Michelle Obama

    Lately in the news I've been hearing about Michelle Obama's fashion being too European.  I'm not sure who her designers are, but I personally really love her fashion style.  I think she has such good taste and always looks so classy.  I've picked some of my favorite pictures of our First Lady and posted them below.  I also like that Michelle Obama has tried to keep children healthy and worked on a movement to have healthier food alternatives in our public school system.  I want to make clear this isn't a political ad and I'm not trying to get anyone to vote a particular way.  This isn't a political statement.  I happen to admire Michelle Obama's beautiful sense of style and of course I completely agree with her views on healthy food not just for children, but for us all.   I hope you will enjoy my favorite photos of her below.   

                 
                                 I love this sweater with the pearl necklace and the mint green skirt. 

                                              
                           I'm a fan of sweaters, and I like this color as well. It looks like a great comfy style.

                          
                                   This skirt with the green flats are a great spring look.

                   
                 Of course  you know I love pink and the matching necklace is so pretty with this dress.

     
       Another one of my favorites is a black dress. This one also has a cute crop sweater to match.

                                              
                                                 This beige and black outfit is so classy.

                                      I love this lilac color dress with the pearls and black belt.

                                This blue dress is so amazing.  She looks like a super model in this picture.

   The best fashion of all, a couple in love!  I love to see pictures of them together.  You can tell they are both so in love with each other and it isn't fake.  They make a wonderful couple.  I loved hearing President Obama sing his rendition of "I'm so in love with you".  How great was that?
