Skechers GoGa Mat Sneakers: Yum or Yucky?

April 29, 2016 by yumyucky 19 Comments

Skechers recently upped their game by putting GoGa Mat insole technology into their sneakers. I’m really happy about this because I was not a fan of their memory foam insole shoes. Memory foam was very comfortable to me, and my socks felt slippery inside the shoes. Based on my fantastic experience wearing the original Go Walk sneakers (I just bough another pair!), as well as the original Go Fit shoes, I did not buy into the upgrade to memory foam. No sir. No thanks.

But alas! Skechers GoGa Mat shoes have saved the day!

Skechers shoes containing GoGa Mat insole technology make you feel as if you are walking on a high-end yoga mat: very comfortable and relaxing for the foot. My feet were instantly happy inside the sneakers and, having walk some miles in GoGa Mat shoe’s already, they are definitely good for a long day of being on your feet.

I give GoGa Mat shoes a YUM rating.

However, you will still need to find the style of GoGa Mat shoes that you like. The particular shoes you see pictured I ended up returning because I didn’t like the actual style. Next time you pass the Skechers store, go inside and try on some GoGat shoes in a style that tickles your footsies, or explore GoGa Mat shoes online.

Be kind to your feet, and may a foot rub be in your near future.

UTI Home Remedy: Oregano Oil for Urinary Tract Infection

October 22, 2015 by yumyucky 15 Comments

First thing’s first: If you think you have a Urinary Tract Infection but have never been diagnosed in the past, you need to be seen by a doctor. However, if you’ve experienced a UTI before and know for sure that’s what you’re dealing with, then Oregano Oil might be natural, quick, uber-effective UTI home remedy that makes you happy.

MY UTI SITUATION

It had been years since I had a UTI, but when I recently felt that familiar, painful twinge, I knew right away what I was dealing with. Quick action is important to avoid blood-tinged pee, constant trips to the bathroom, and to escape the looming threat of even more pain. I was fully prepared to call the doctor and deal with the antibiotics, but my affinity for natural remedies urged me to reach for my Oil of Oregano instead.

QUICK INFO ON OREGANO OIL

Oregano Oil is highly regarded as the most powerful natural antibiotic in the world, and has been well researched for its health benefits. My full write up on Oregano Oil Facts, Benefits and Risks will bring you up to speed on why you should keep Oregano Oil on hand in your home (I also keep some at work), including which brand is the best, why it’s the best and how to administer it safely. I stress to you that there are safety measures you must take due to Oregano Oil’s heat factor, so please read the full write up before purchasing or consuming the product.

Excerpts from research on oregano oil benefits from around the web:

“…the oil was tested against aggressive germs, including the cold, flu and even bird flu viruses. In all cases the wild oregano oil destroyed the viruses. In tissue culture the wild oregano oil virtually completely destroyed the human coronavirus, a 99.9% kill, in a mere 20 minutes. The coronavirus is the microbe responsible for nearly 50% of the infections diagnosed as the common cold or pneumonia and is solely responsible for SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). The destruction of the influenza A and bird flu viruses was nearly as complete, a 99% kill. This is an impressive result, which has never been achieved by any drug…” via HyssopHealth.com

“In Mexico, researchers have compared oregano to tinidazol, a commonly used prescription drug to treat infection from the amoeba Giardia lamblia. These researchers found oregano to be more effective against Giardia than the commonly used prescription drug.” via World’s Healthiest Foods

“Potent viruses, with previously no known cure are suddenly losing against one of the most potent members of nature’s family – Oregano oil. Stories of genital herpes, shingles and cold sores clearing up are all from the topical as well as internal application of this herb.” via Liberty Voice

HOW I TREATED MY UTI NATURALLY WITH OIL OF OREGANO

Supplies Needed

Dosing

Fill an empty veggie capsule with oregano oil and take one, 2-3 times per day for 3 days.
Important: you must eat something AFTER you take the capsule, as the capsule will have bouyancy and “seem” to be in your chest unless you chase it down with some food.
After you feel yourself getting better, continue to take 1-2 capsules at for least 2 days longer. This is similar to when you are instructed by your doctor to finish all of your antibiotic even after you feel better.
Note: Fill each capsule right before you take it. Do not pre-fill to take hours later, as the integrity of the veggie capsule will slowly degrade throughout the day due to Oregano Oil’s heat.

I experienced fast relief from my UTI with this method. Within an hour! If you don’t get relief within 24 hours, consider calling your doctor. This information is not meant to replace your doctor’s advice. Please use your best judgment and be sensible.

Oregano Oil is safe to take even when you are not sick. It will help maintain your health. Do NOT administer Oregano Oil to young children due its potent heat factor. Your homework right now is to read Oregano Oil Facts, Benefits and Risks to further educate yourself on the awesome power of Oregano Oil. Here’s to your health!

3 Reasons To Keep a Female Portable Pee Urinal in Your Car

August 19, 2015 by yumyucky 15 Comments

“Ahhhh!” That’s the sound I make when I’m peeing in my car. No, really. Both Gracie and I have peed in the car on several occasions now. There are 3 good reasons for a portable pee urinal:

When you’re taking a long road trip. It’s an empowering feeling to know you won’t piss your pants while trying to find a bathroom to stop at.
To avoid the disgusting scene at the porta potty.
To not have to squat & pee in the deep, dark woods. Too many Sasquatch out there.

We keep portable female pee urinals in our car with the rest of the emergency supplies (including toilet paper). Let me explain how this works…

I first recognized the need for this when I had to drag Gracie into the woods for her first squat and pee session. The porta potty at the park was beyond disgusting, complete with flies and diarrhea spatter. I took her into the woods instead. She was 4 years old at the time and, as you can imagine, squatting to pee in the natural wooded habitat of the suburban hyena is not an art form for someone so young. Pee ran down her legs and got onto her socks and feet. Sure, I had brought toilet paper from the car to clean her up, but the whole experience got me thinking there had to be a better way.

After remembering that time I once had my son pee in an empty water bottle while we were stuck in New York City traffic (he was 5 at the time), I thought to myself, what if us girls could pee like a boy in the privacy our own car, too?

We own several types of portable female pee urinal, and to be clear, we each have our own — it would be weird to share them.

Type #1 ~ Pee Standing Up Anywhere: Yup. This one has a hole at the end and is obviously not suitable for the car. But you can act like a boy as you pee standing up in a discreet location of your choice. By positioning this soft, flexible device under your bottom, the pee drains away from you. No more squatting and no more pee mist getting on your legs and clothes. There are two reusable urinals in each box.

Type #2 ~ Pee in the Car: I prefer this one to discreetly pee in the car. First I kick my family out the vehicle. Then I get into the back seat on the floor. It takes a few seconds to position it just right, but once you get ‘ta peeing you will feel fantastic to be relieving yourself in privacy. I then dump the pee-pee evidence into a nearby bush, rinse out the urinal with water, then put it into a plastic bag to clean when I get home. And yes, I do keep toilet paper in the car as well. It’s biodegradable so I don’t feel bad about dumping that into the bush either — this is an emergency situation, after all. You can opt for a urinal that has a lid on it, but I prefer to dump the pee immediately instead of keeping it in the car until later.

We are going canoeing this weekend and I will be putting my urinal and toilet paper in my backpack. Last time we canoed I had to pull over and go in the woods with no supplies. This time I will be prepared. I know this all might seem weird, but if you keep this in your car, you’ll be happy on the day you have to use it. There’s no reason for a 21st century lady of sophistication to be squatting in the woods when there’s pee technology such as this to keep you fancy.
