How To Make Your Own Homemade Apple Juice

sukosaki — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:32:07 +0000

Did you know that you can make your own apple juice? Most, not all, apple juices in the stores are filled with sugars and other things that are just not that healthy for you. Think about how much healthier your juice would be if it was made from 100% apples?

You are taking the natural juices and sugars from an apple and putting them into your body. I am not saying that you cannot get 100% apple juice at the store, but if you are not paying attention, you might up end with something that is actually worse for your health.

Apples contain disease fighting chemicals could reduce the risk of breast cancer, could reduce the chances of getting Alzheimer’s and can help keep your heart a healthy one. Apples are FAT FREE, too! Doesn’t that sound good right about now? Your new diet (c’mon we know about the New Years Resolution) will stay on track when you eat apples, because you are getting more fruit without adding the fat to your diet! Not to mention the sugars that your body is getting are actually being broken down like they should be. What do you think your body is saying when it sees fake, or substitute sugars, coming down the pike?

I love using my juicer. It is kinda loud, but that just means that it’s working hard to keep you healthy. I have juiced apples, oranges, pears, kiwi, strawberry, carrots, lettuce, spinach, green beans, bananas, just to name a few. The juice really fills me up in the morning and can give that extra boost I need sometimes!

Typically, I take about 4 apples and cut them into slices that my juicer will agree with. Now, if you have a smaller juicer, you have more work ahead of you. Then I turn on the Jack La Lanne Juicer and let it rip the apples up and pull all the nutritious juices from them.

Zhu Zhu Collectible Hamsters Still Hot Toy of 2009?

sukosaki — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 07:32:00 +0000

After a brief, but HOT run during the Christmas shopping season this year, the Zhu Zhu’s haven’t been mentioned all that much. We have all seen the ones on eBay that are over priced and the signs in Wal-Marts that state Zhu Zhu’s are only available online. But now that they Christmas rush is over, is the Zhu Zhu still one of the hottest, most sought after toys of 2009?

I read in the LA Times (from Dec. 22)that most people noticed that children weren’t even after these motorized, chirping hamsters, it happened to be mostly parents. Although I am sure the parents were the ones standing in line for the doorbuster sales, only to be turned away when stores ran out, they were really still buying these toys for their favorite children. At least the ones that requested them. I would think that a child would want the real thing if possible and since they really don’t cost all that much (but more than the toy at $8-$10) more, the parents are looking at the long term maintenance and cleanup involved.

[phpbay]zhu zhu, 1[/phpbay]

Since I read a little about these Zhu Zhu’s I thought I would take a look around the net, specifically eBay, to see if the “hub-bub” is still there. Let’s take a look at what I found. I did a simple search for Zhu Zhu, without quotes, the returned results totalled over 9,000. This included everything from various named Zhu Zhu pets, pets with accessories and I must say, the prices weren’t all that bad. If you check the auctions now, you might be only paying $5-$6 more per Zhu Zhu (plus shipping) than you would in the store. But if your local Wal-Mart cannot get this in stock, what option do you have?

Some have said the toy is HOT because of the fact that you cannot get it. Is that really a reason to “want” something? Because it is going to be hard to get? I think the Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii went through some similar debacles recently, but video game systems are a much bigger deal than a “toy”.

TailgateApproved.com – What a Lame Product

sukosaki — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:50:36 +0000

I just saw a Bud Light ad, TailGateApproved.com, for a case of beer with a SPEAKER in the box. Why would you want a speaker in your case of beer, you ask? Well, it’s simple, you can attach your MP3 player to the box and listen to music while you tailgate!

What do you think of this product? I personally think it’s a pretty lame excuse for a beer product, but that’s just me. I do drink beer, in fact, I drink Bud Light, but I find it tough to get into some of the promotions that beer companies put on.

I guess the Lizards from back in the day weren’t too bad, the What’s Up guys made me chuckle, but those things were promotions that I did not have to pay for.

It might not be as annoying as the advertisements for the Fox Farve Cam though, lol!

The Best Halloween Costume Is…

sukosaki — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 19:49:15 +0000

Well, you can’t expect everyone to think the best Halloween costume is any character from Seinfeld, right? I love the show and if I could dress as Kramer or Newman for Halloween, that would be just awesome.

A lot of people try and get costumes that will mimic news stories or celebrity deaths can spark a costume. Michael Jackson’s death this year, and the controversy surrounding it, might actually make the costume quite popular.

The Michael Jackson listed above is the “Bad” costume and can be yours for only $180! That is quite cheap in comparison to other costumes that are more in depth and extravagant. Nonetheless, it really depends on the type of person you are. There also plenty of “sexy” costumes, but more of those will NOT win you an costume contests.

Halloween is getting more and more popular with adults more than ever. In fact, I read in a magazine (source) that 51.8 million is the “number of adults that don their sexy nurse, pimp or pirate outfits on Halloween”. And that is only for those 3 costumes, imagine all the presidents, TV stars and celeb look-a-likes out there. Over 5 billion dollars were spent on the holiday last year and I am sure that number will climb this year again.

What is your favorite costume or what/who have you dressed up as for Halloween?

Remember Zenni Optical? New Frames Are In!

sukosaki — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 02:48:09 +0000

Shopping online is huge, so huge that you can get just about anything online. Billions and billions of dollars are spent AND saved when you shop online. Why not spend and save a little when you have to buy glasses? I recently wondered what it would cost to purchase eyeglasses online and this is what I found.

ZenniOptical.com has stylish frames from $8! Yes I said, well typed, $8! I couldn’t believe it so I had to see it for myself. When I went to the website I was amazed at how easy it was to find something I liked, in my price range and with options that I wanted. Since there is no middleman that ZenniOptical deals with, your glasses are manufactured and sold directly to you at a great savings.

Clark Howard talks about ZenniOptical all the time on his consumer reports radio show. If you take a quick look online, you will also see many others like myself that have had a good experience with them and would recommend their fast service to friends and family.

You can get many options or you can stick with the basic. For the prices that I see on the website, you could get a stylish pair of frames and sunsensor lens for under $100! That is a deal that you can hardly beat. I have included a picture of frames I would purchase to give you an idea of how stylish their frames really are.
