Omega3 Water® Review
NEW YORK, NY – June 4, 2012 – Cold, light and refreshing beverages are the ultimate must-have on a hot summer day. With so many options on the market, how does one choose? Try reaching for something new! Omega3Water® combines refreshment and health optimization by introducing the country’s first flavored water infused with omega-3 nutrients. It has been chosen as one of the “Top 12 Best New Products” in the exclusive Bevnet LIVE New Beverage Showdown.
“Omega-3 is one of the core nutrients to a healthy lifestyle. As more people become health conscious, we start to see supplements with omega-3 (like fish oil), flying off shelves. We needed a way to incorporate more omega-3s into our daily routine,” said Dr. Ed Beja, creator of Omega3Water. The solution was an innovative new way for people to get omega-3s – from drinking water.
Current research demonstrates that adding omega-3 nutrients to your diet can help reduce the risk of heart disease, slow down the aging process, ease stress and depression, improve memory function, and lower cholesterol and high blood pressure. Studies have also indicated that omega-3s may help in the prevention, risk and treatment of certain forms of cancer[1-6]. For a complete list of the powers of this little nutrient, check out www.o3w.org[7-9].
Omega3Water goes one step further in enhancing health. Jam-packed with vitamins and nutrients, it earns its title of Natural Health Defender.
Omega3Water is available two great-tasting, vegetarian-friendly, kosher-certified flavors: Bold Berry and Orange Kiwi. The omega-3 nutrients in Omega3Water are sourced from flax seed, assuring that no fish taste is EVER included!

My Review: I was given the opportunity to try this water and I have to say it wasn't my favorite ,but yes there is a BUT my Husband loved this water and so did others in my family so I guess it is a preferred taste. If I had to choose I would say my favorite is the Bold Berry. Neither of the two flavors leave you with an after taste and if you drink the water cold it is quite refreshing. My husband works in the Security Alarm business and is in and out of Hot attics all day. He took the Omega3 Water to work with him in an ice filled cooler and it worked great for him. My 72 year old grandmother also enjoyed the water and liked the convenience of drinking her vitamins rather then swallowing a pill. I myself will be purchasing this water in the future for my husband and others in my family. I'm hoping for more flavors to be available soon!
Disclosure: I received samples of this product to try in exchange for my review these are my own honest opinions.

Fathers Day Read/ Gift Idea
Father's day is this weekend and if your not sure what to get dad here is an idea if he likes to read John Pfeiffer's Dude You’re Gonna Be a Dad is a great gift and a pleasant read. I would recommend this book to Experienced and Un-Experienced Dad's out there you can purchase the book by clicking here:
*Amazon:http://amzn.to/KE6v3z
* B+N:http://bit.ly/KZMnLH
* Adams Media:http://bit.ly/LEbNcB
John Pfeiffer's goal with the book was to coach new dads along as they joined the cult of fatherhood, and hopefully provide some relief to the growing pains that are so familiar to experienced dads. To welcome rookie dads into the fold this Father’s Day, let’s take a look at five of the biggest mistakes us veterans know new dads can make:
1. Playing dumb: Guys, we all know this one is classic. We’ve all done it. I think we may have overshot our goal with this technique. Originally it was a brilliant way for us to get out of doing stuff we didn’t want to do, because you know, we don’t know anything. Which end of the bottle do we put in junior’s mouth? But now we are the dumb blondes of the new century. Who is the most popular TV dad? Homer Simpson! We can do better guys. Besides, after awhile there will be an issue that comes up we actually care about and our spouse won’t even ask us our opinion-because we are just too dumb.
2. Waiting for the “magic”: New dads, I know the feeling. You’re in the hospital and waiting for that rush of emotion to sweep you off your feet. Maybe they handed out magic fairy dust while you ran down to the hospital cafeteria. Either way, you don’t feel anything magical inside besides the stomachache from hospital meatloaf. Or was it liver? The truth nobody remembers to mention to new fathers is that special bond with your child is built little by little. Each small experience you have with your child helps that feeling you are waiting for to grow into something special.
3. Learning on the fly: Guys, there is no doubt our days are full. After a long day we probably want to sit down, kick up our feet and maybe watch some sports, or read more about our favorite hobby. But whether your favorites happen to be Harleys or hydrangeas, you need to carve out a few minutes to learn more about being a dad. Because although our bodies are born with all of the right equipment to create a child, raising one in today’s world is hard. The good news is that ever since Al Gore invented the Internet we have more resources than ever at our disposal. So if you think there is an area your child needs a little help in, or a concern you have, much like the old TV show “The X Files”, the answer is out there.
4. Neglect: This one is huge, and in applies in all directions. First and foremost, take your responsibility as a parent seriously, and never neglect your child. Keep an eye on Mom as well, as the reports state 10-15% of new mother’s get postpartum depression, but most experts feel it is a higher percentage. Dad, you may not see it coming, but estimates range from 10-25% of new Dads getting postpartum depression, you are not immune. Be vigilant in making sure you and Mom are getting exercise, proper nutrition, and as much sleep as possible. Hopelessness, anxiety, and mood swings are just some of the symptoms. If you think either of you may be experiencing this, do your research and talk to your doctor. It is much worse than the term “baby blues” makes it sound.
5. Sitting on the sidelines: This is the distant relative of point number two. You share DNA with your child, and you will see that come through as time progresses forward. But if you kick back and watch Mom take over, you will probably be hurting your relationship with both of them. Times have changed and you need to get in the trenches. Find your role in your family, and be an active parent in your children’s lives. Most of all, realize, as the adage says, the more you put into it, the more you get out of it.
So while being a new parent isn’t as serious as, say, war, where hot metal flies by you and there are bombs overhead, there will be heated words flying between parents and stinky diaper bombs exploding all over the house. Parenting is a tough job; it always has been and always will be. Kids require a lot of time and effort, and for once in our lives there isn’t “an app for that.” But if you are willing to give the effort, you can become your child’s favorite superhero. Isn’t that what we all wanted to be when we grew up? Here is your chance, oh, and Happy Father’s Day!

Baby Gourmet: Organic Blends Review
I was recently given the opportunity to review Baby Gourmet Organic Blends from Founder Jennifer Broe. Baby Gourmet is an all natural, organic baby food brand available in a convenient resealable pouch. The Line boasts nine sophisticated flavors some of those include Vanilla Banana Berry Risotto, Old Fashioned Apple Crisp, Tropical Banana Berry, Containing absolutely no added salts, sugars, filler, allergens or thickeners. I was able to try the Vanilla Banana Berry Risotto (Yes I tried it before letting my taste tester Baby Gia try it) I have to say it was very good and she enjoyed it as well. The brand is truly organic and the proof is on the pouch no ingredients you can't pronounce all natural and safe for Baby. The pouch it self is very easy to use and resealable with out any mess the pouch can be refrigerated after opening for up to 24 hours. Baby Gourmet is available for purchase at your local Walmart. For more information you can visit the Baby Gourmet at www.babygourmet.com. Jen loves coming up with recipes easily tweaked for all members of the family while using local seasonal produce.

Kaijudo Mommy Party
Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters is a new cartoon that just started on the Hub. Kaijudo is the story of Raiden Pierce-Okamoto, aka Ray, a talented 14-year-old boy, and the two worlds in which he lives. One is the real world much like our own, and the other is a fantastical world of creatures, a parallel world made up of five civilizations, visible only to a chosen few.... Thanks to MomSelect I was chosen to do an in home party with this carton as the theme. The kids had so much fun dressed up as Karate Masters.
