Giveaway Winner!

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

Another long day, but Cassia now has her own Z-pack!  (Zithromax) I think she was jealous and wanted to be like Susannah….   I call them the Z-pack Twins now!  :D

The winner of the alfalfa giveaway is….

CINDY!

 

You can send me your address at tinklingbells (at) medt (dot) com and I will try to get that out this week!

 

Gena–I haven’t forgotten about you!  Someone forgot to buy more padded mailers at the store last week…. (yeah, that would be me! :P )   I will try to get yours out Monday!

 

Thank you all so much for being patient with me–hopefully next week will be better, on time, and yes, there is ONE more giveaway!  So do check back Tuesday!

 

Happy Tappin’!

 

Where ARE those Dull Moments, Anyway?!

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

My apologies to my T-Tapp Tuesday gals.  To say the rest of this week has been crazy would be an understatement! I thought for sure today I’d be able to at least pick a winner out of all you hardworking mamas!

My mother-in-law is now on hospice. She has infection in her bowel and around her heart, with no immune system now nor antibiotics that can fight it (she is allergic to so many). 

Another daughter is not feeling well.  At least we know to get her to the doctor first thing in the morning.  We’d appreciate prayers!

I will try my best to at least announce a winner tomorrow.  My apologies for not getting this done sooner.  Life has hit in the extreme this week, it seems!

But, along with Habbakuk, “yet will I rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”   (Hab. 3:18)  It is a choice.  I choose to rejoice!

Thank you for your patience and your prayers!

“T-Tapp Tuesday?”

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

Sorry to be late…it will actually be later today when I post Workout Wednesday!

It’s been a rough few days.

Sunday we visited my step-mother-in-law.  She has AML (acute myeloid leukemia) and isn’t doing well. In fact now they found she has infection both in her bowels and her heart.  She is saved, but please pray for her to have peace and for the doctors to have wisdom.

Then Monday,  I ended up taking Susannah to the doctor, since she had been sick since Friday night and it wasn’t getting any better.  Turned out she was dehydrated!   So we spent all afternoon at the hospital getting IV fluids.

And then today…..just as I started teaching my first student (today is the last day of music lessons for the summer!) Jessica comes in the living room to tell me Bekah hurt her food badly.  I’m thinking broken bones!  But instead I find out she stepped on a nail in the barn–yeah, rusty, dirty, and no, she’s not supposed to be barefoot in the barn!  It went in about an inch, Dallas said.  OUCH!

So today has been turned topsy turvy, too!

We’d appreciate prayers for healing, for wisdom, for my SANITY! and for some “dull moments” to come! ;)

Hopefully I will be posting later today about workout gear–Lord willin’ an’ the creek don’t rise! :p

T-Tapp Tuesday–What’s So Great About Alfalfa?

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

First things first!

The winner of the SunRay Sit Down TappCore is…..

Gena!

 

Please e-mail me at tinklingbells (at) medt (dot) com with your address so I can get it out to you!

 

Thank you everyone for entering!  And keep up the GREAT work on getting your workouts in!

Teresa has a Premium Blended Alfalfa that is a really good product!

 

I was taking another good brand of alfalfa, so I decided to finish that first.  I could not believe the difference when I started taking Teresa’s!

 

I shed water immediately! 

 

I’ve also noticed that it helps balance my hormones.  Two of my daughters, whose cycles were not regular, started taking alfalfa and both their cycles have really evened out!

 

I also noticed it helps my skin.   T-Tapp alone helps blood flow which brings that “glow” to your skin.  But I really think the alfalfa has helped even more.  I had bad acne as a teen (and a 20 something, and a 30 something….) and my skin never totally evened out.  Since T-Tapp and taking Teresa’s alfalfa, I get compliments all the time on my skin!  And I wear no make-up!  I am even taken for my daughters’ sister sometimes!  (Gotta love that! ;) )

 

Alfalfa is a legume, and it:

 

~Is anti-inflammatory
~Offsets cortisol
~Alkalizes body
~Tightens the skin

 

A few more interesting facts:

~The alfalfa comes from 2 fields–1 is sprayed with ionic minerals, 1 is not. Then they are “blended” together. No more than .003% variable on the minerals.  (Hence the name:  Premium Blended Alfalfa)

~Never less than 21.7% protein, and can be as high as 28.4% protein.

~It is cut and put in an air-conditioned facility, and is cold-press extracted.

~Mold alters the chemical make-up of protein, which can actually make you gain weight! That is why she goes to the lengths to keep it temperature controlled.

~Alfalfa reverses aging in the skin of the face according to a 5 year study from 1999.

 

Teresa’s Premium Blended Alfalfa is only the leaf–no sprouts or seeds.  From what I’ve learned, sometimes you can actually gain with some  brands of alfalafa!

It is somewhat pricey, but knowing the lengths Teresa goes to to keep this alfalfa at peak nutrient level, I’m surprised it doesn’t cost more!  She pays a LOT to ship it from the other side of the country in air-conditioned semis to keep the quality high.  It is then stored in air-conditioned facilities, too.  I really appreciate the lengths she goes to to bring us a quality product!

It has helped one friend of mine get off her bio-identical hormones completely!  Another friend on the forums said alfalfa helped her lower her Synthroid–twice!  

It is helpful for menopause and for night sweats. Here are a few tips: 

~No sugar or carbs before bed–can cause night sweats!

~1g carb retains 3g water

~take alfalfa before bed

~Protein helps rid body of edema and helps with elimination

 
I try to buy it when there are good specials and stock up!  It is one supplement I try not to do without–I had gotten sporadic back in April, and the cycle I had that month reminded me of why I take it!!!

Better skin, better hormones, a good anti-inflammatory–all in one great product, with quality you can trust!

Soooooo….

This week’s giveaway is a bottle of the Premium Blended Alfalfa! 

To enter, you can do any or all of the following:

1. Leave a comment and tell me what “benefit” of alfalfa intrigues you the most.

2. Leave a comment each time you do a T-Tapp workout (yes, TappCore counts–at least 3 moves–so even you busy young mamas can enter! )  Let me know what workout you did (or which moves!).

3. Tell others about the giveaway–FaceBook, Twitter, e-mail, blog, forum (if appropriate–don’t violate any forum rules!)  Let me know you did and post a link, if applicable (I don’t have FB, but I have friends who do! )  You can do this up to 3 times a day if you so desire!

4.  This one counts DOUBLE!   I am hoping to certify as a T-Tapp Trainer this fall, and I also hope to offer some online classes.  What would you like to see in an online class?  What things would be helpful to you?   (It would probably be a 4 week class.)

If you post one day and think of something else the next, that’s fine!  You’ll get double points for BOTH posts! :)

Until next week–Happy Tappin’!  :D
