Wellness Mat:

A Healthy Way Of Life

OK! As you will see we awarded the Wellness Mat our top honors this Holiday Season. Why?? OMG! I want the earth to be covered in Wellness Mats..I am not kidding. Hubby asked if we could do the whole house in Wellness Mats.
When my parents came over for Thanksgiving, you should have heard them..OMG! This feels so good! Yep, you will step on this mat and melt because it cusions your feet as if your walking in heaven. OH! Am I laying it on too thick??? Nope, get one for yourself and let me know what you think! You will be thanking me for telling y ou about this.


WellnessMats dramatically reduces the fatigue and discomfort associated with long term or stationary standing. The unique one piece construction has a soft inner design structure that serves as a preventative approach against potential back, leg, and foot problems. Our revolutionary concept interacts with the body by suspending your body weight thus reducing impact on the joints. Your weight will frequently shift and rebalance itself, reducing the stress and strain of many daily activities. The Wellness Mat promotes better posture, proper circulation, muscle conditioning and a sense of well being.

The distinct comfort of WellnessMats combined with the many features and benefits, as well as being medically proven and backed by healthcare professionals, make it the absolute best therapeutic flooring product on the market.

GLEE GUM

Perfect stocking stuffer that will make your kids eyes light up. Yummy gum that has many flavor options for even the pickiest chewer. Very in-expensive and a great add on to any gift.


Glee Gum is all-natural, gluten-free chewing gum with no artificial coloring, flavoring, sweeteners nor preservatives. Glee Gum is the only gum in North America made the old-fashioned way, with chicle! Chicle is a natural tree sap harvested sustainably from the rainforests of Central America. Once all chewing gum was made with chicle, but today most gum is made entirely from synthetic stuff. Not Glee Gum! Glee Gum uses chicle because it is an eco-friendly way to help conserve the rainforest.

Chicle is also what gives the gum such great, long-lasting chewing texture! Glee Gum is a “green” gum right down to the packaging, which is made from biodegradable, recycled cardboard. So chew with Glee, naturally! (SRP $0.99 per pack, available at grocery stores nationwide and online at URL http://gleegum.com/order.htm)

MAKE YOUR OWN CANDY KITS

Available in Make Your Own Chocolate, Make Your Own Chewing Gum, and Make Your Own Gummies, these activity kits are all-natural, educational, and eco-friendly. With pre-packaged ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, kids aged 8 and up get a real kick out of making candy from scratch. (Younger children enjoy it too, with parental supervision!) Focusing on the history behind and the origin of these candies, each kit is designed to captivate kids’ interest, connect them to the global community, and create something yummy to eat in the process!(SRP $12.99 per kit, available at gift stores nationwide and online at URL http://gleegum.com/order.htm)
