Turbo Oven: Fact or Fiction
The Flavor Wave Turbo Oven was recently introduced on the cooking scene through TV infomercials that touted the product as a quick and easy solution to preparing healthy meals for your family in just a fraction of the normal cooking time. So when I heard about this revolutionary tool, I jumped on the bandwagon to see what all the type was about. Here's what I found out…
The Flavor Wave Turbo works great. The first meal I made with the product consisted of a family favorite – meat and potatoes. I took sausage directly out of the freezer and added it to the turbo oven. It cooked quickly and effortlessly, but I was still a little skeptical of how it was going to taste. So, I took it to the kids, who are the toughest critics around. They raved about how juicy and moist the meal was and asked why I didn't make it more often.
After dinner, cleaning the turbo oven was just as easy. It has a self-cleaning mode, which works great. I have to tell you, I was really impressed. Anything that makes my job as a mom easier is a plus in my book. I'm a Flavor Wave Turbo Oven convert!

Benefits of Buckwheat Pillows

Buckwheat pillows are filled with all natural dried buckwheat, which is hypoallergenic. This substance contours to the shape of your neck and head, giving you a quality of sleep like you've never had before. The pillows regain their shape after you wake up, so you don't have to deal with flat non-supportive pillows.
Buckwheat pillows offer many health benefits as well. They have been recommended by health care professionals to assist with everything from headaches and soreness to stress and insomnia. Some even claim that the support they offer eliminates or reduces snoring. The buckwheat pillow provides orthopedic benefits that prevent muscles from cramping up while you sleep. This in turn leaves you feeling rested and revived in the morning, just as you should after a solid night's sleep.
Plus, buckwheat pillows actually keep your head cool, so if you're one that tends to overheat while you sleep, these are the perfect solution. Especially for summer, it's a great time to try buckwheat pillows and start reaping the benefits they offer. You'll never go back to another type of pillow again.

Trend Watch: Girly Necklaces
It’s true that pearls have long been a fashion staple, but this year, pearl necklaces have taken off in a big way. Sure, Michelle Obama has had something to do with this fashion resurgence, but pearl necklaces are all the rage lately. The trend for pearl necklaces is whimsical, fun and free-spirited, with designs ranging from gumball size stones to necklaces that are embellished with pearls, rhinestones and charms. With one of these lookers, you can keep the rest of your look simple and let your necklace shine.
Bow necklaces are also extremely in demand right now. Bow necklaces are reminiscent of childhood and are dainty and innocent in nature. Look for bow necklaces in the form of pendants for everyday wear, or statement choker necklaces adorned with fabric or crystals for a fun night-on-the-town look. Again, with necklaces that are busy, keep the rest of your outfit toned down and let the necklace take center stage.
Necklaces with pink stones are another hot ticket item. Celebs like Mariah Carey love pink diamonds, but if you can’t afford a multi-million dollar pendant, you can still imitate the look with a heart shaped Cubic Zirconia necklace.
Girly necklaces are fun to wear and offer a certain childhood fondness. These necklaces pair well with contrasting pieces like a black dress or a white tank top. It’s best to wear smaller necklaces to the office, and save the eclectic designs for after hours, weekends or vacation. It’s then that these necklaces will really help you shine.
