I Heart Bacteria - Click To EnlargeBacteria’s bad reputation is unjustified. Sure, there are some crummy strains of bacteria that can cause illness, but what about all of the good bacteria?

Good bacteria helps the body digest food and turn it into energy. Good bacteria also helps to break down drugs and carcinogens, can fight infection, boost our immune systems and even repair the walls of our digestive tracts.

Most of the bacteria in our bodies is good, but antibiotics and antibacterial products do not distinguish between good and bad forms of bacteria. Often the helpful, infection-fighting good bacteria becomes depleted and we are more succeptible to various illnesses. One of the best wasy to keep our bodies supplied with plenty of good bacteria is by taking a daily probiotic.

A Box of CultrelleCulterelle is a once-daily probiotic dietary supplement that helps  our immune and digestive systems to perform at their best. There are several brands of probiotics on the market, but the Culterelle brand has earned its reputation as one of the most trusted names on the market for both adults and children.

Speaking of children, Culturelle sells a probiotic especially for kids whom are among the most vulnerable to illness and infection. This is something every parent will want to consider because of all the bad bacteria kids come in contact with at school, the playground, friends houses, and even at home. The Culturelle brand offers several reasons that they are the best choice for our familys’ health.

  • ** Culturelle® is the only probiotic dietary supplement containing Lactobacillus GG, the “good” bacteria strain used to restore and maintain a healthy balance in the digestive system.

  • ** Culturelle is the most researched and clinically proven probiotic supplement on the market.  Lactobacillus GG, which is only found in supplement form in Culturelle, is the subject of more than 450 clinical reports and studies, making it the mostly widely researched strain of probiotic in the world proving its safety and efficacy.

  • ** Not all probiotic supplements are created equal.  The amount of live bacteria listed on many probiotic labels is often the number of bacteria at the time of manufacture, not use.  Culturelle, however is manufactured with at least 30 billion live cells with at least 10 billion guaranteed at time of usage.  This is about 10 times the amount of probiotic bacteria found in many yogurts.

There is a lot of additional information available on Culturelle’s Facebook Page! I recommend joining, not just for the fun polls and to keep up with new offers, but to show your support for those little microorganisms that so many people love to hate. Also, check out this funny video..

*Closed* The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 1 & 2 – Review & Giveaway (3 Winners!)

Nov 5th, 2009 Posted in Giveaways, Reviews | 361 comments »

About an hour ago, I finished reading The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2. This Klutz book seems to be aimed at tweens and teens, but I am 34-years old and found it uproarious. If you decide to buy this book as a gift for your child, grandchild, niece or nephew, make sure you read it first. Better yet, buy yourself a copy! You will be glad you did.

Another way to acquire this book and its predecessor is to win them here! Klutz is allowing me to give away copies of The Encyclopedia of Immaturity AND The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 to three of my lucky readers! If you have ever owned or read a Klutz book, you know about their quirky blend of humor and instruction.

I have been a fan of the Klutz company for many years. Klutz books taught me how to juggle, to master the art of using a yo-yo, and how to create origami out of dollar bills. The books are easy-to-understand manuals that teach people how to do things that many people want to learn, but usually do not think to ask how. A unique feature of  Klutz books is that they usually come packaged with the apparatus used to master the skill being taught.  Since the company’s inception in 1977, Klutz has been a hotbed of arcane and outrageous knowledge.

In 2007, The Encyclopedia of Immaturity was released. This first volume  contains more than 300 hilarious facts, pranks, tricks and activities. The book was a bestseller and won the National Parenting Publications Gold Award. Now they have followed it up with the equally great and rollicking Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 2! Here is the synopsis from Klutz.

“The Encyclopedia of Immaturity has been such a hit that Klutz is following up with a second book! The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 includes thought-provoking topics such as how to slide down a banister, what we talk about when we talk about wedgies, how to send a toiletgram, and more. It’s all new and all hopelessly goofy.”

If you are not already a fan of Klutz products, you may very well  be one after reading this book. The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 2 is a gut-busting blend of practical jokes, fun facts, cool tricks, and crazy antics that will amuse and inspire the child inside all of us. Check out the video demonstration below showing how to slip on a banana!

The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 2 is hard-bound with thick sturdy pages. It is available from Klutz for $19.95 + S&H. For just a little bit extra, they will gift-wrap it for you! Trust me, this will make a great gift for that special person in your life who has everything.

The Giveaway is now closed with 356 Entries! Thank you all for entering and I will do a drawing in the morning at random.org.

Winner will be chosen by random.org & announced Nov. 23. Winner will be notified by email with “Congrats: You Have Won The Klutz Giveaway” in the subject line. Winner will then have 72 hours to respond or a new winner will be chosen.

Disclosure: Klutz provided me with a copy of The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 2 for review. They are also allowing me to give three of my readers copies of both The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 1 & Vol 2. The Klutz company is going to be responsible for shipping the prizes after I provide the shipping information of the winning entrants. No monetary compensation was received for this post, and the sample book in no way affected my opinion of the product.
