These are a Few of My Favorite Things

It's been a while since I've given you all a list of some of my favorite things - probably because there's not much out there right now that really makes my skirt fly up. I did want to tell you all about a product I love though and thought I would just turn it into a favorite things post because surely I can pull some other favorite out of the proverbial hat. Here we go -

Road ID - LOVE this product! This is a great product for the loved one in your family who lives and active lifestyle or any lifestyle for that matter. Road ID was designed for runners and cyclists who use the roads. It's a bracelet that has a silver plate which has identification information. Living in Huntsville, it seems like there is a cyclist vs. car  accident on a monthly basis and a Road ID is a necessity in my opinion if you are cycling or running on the road. There are two different kinds of Road ID - a basic and an interactive. I actually have one of both. With the basic band, you can put as much information as will fit on the plate. Mine for example has my name, hometown, blood type, medicine allergies and two numbers to contact in case of emergency.

The interactive ID is really awesome. I just recently bought one of these. Because my original ID has Tony's number on it, I decided to get a new plate, but since the plates were almost the same price as a new bracelet, I just got a new bracelet instead and opted for the interactive ID. My interactive ID has my name and then a number to call or web site to look at in case of emergency. On the back side of my plate is a serial number an a pin number for emergency responders to use in case of emergency. Once they call or log on to the web site, they are privy to  a plethora of information about yours truly, including insurance information, emergency contact lists, a list of medications I take, my address, instructions for someone to look after The Tide if I am injured, etc. The first year or interactive ID is free and then the charge is only $9.99 each year after that. For less than $1 a month, I can be satisfied knowing that if I am injured doctors and nurses will immediately have access to all the information they need to treat me.

Road ID comes in various shapes and sizes. They have a pouch you can put on your running shoes, a Velcro (original) bracelet (which is the first one I received), an ID tag and an ID slim (that's the kind I purchased most recently and I wear it every day all day). They also have Road ID for pets in the form of collars. These are great for young children too. I've seen many recounts on Twitter of people whose children had wandered off and parent and child were reunited thanks to the help of Road ID.

Hopefully I've adequately described the product. If you want more information, please visit their web site here. This really is the perfect gift for the runner or cyclist in your life or even a loved one who has a medical condition. It looks a lot cooler than those med alerts, that's for sure.

Silk Fruit and Protein - I'm currently steering clear of dairy products. Yes, you read that correctly. Yes, I may have lost my mind, be in temporarily or permanently is yet to be determined. Long story short, I know more than one person who has managed to drop some weight by cutting out dairy and by George, I thought I would give it a try despite my unyielding love of all things cheese and cheese substitute (I'm talking to you concession stand nacho cheese). So, unable to drink a gallon of milk a week (wipes a tear from her eye) I've had to find something else to satisfy my craving for smooth dairy in the morning. I actually had tried this before my "Done with Dairy" campaign, but have come to rely on it since milk has been banned from my fridge. There are three flavors, but I've only managed to find two  - Mango Peach and Mixed Berries. I have not yet found the Strawberry Banana. It's made with soy and fruit juices and is a great source of calcium and vitamin D which is something we all need in our diet. If you're looking for something new to drink on in the mornings or even in the afternoons, then check it out. You can often find coupons on the web site here.

Well, just when I think I will be able to come up with quite a few favorites, I can't. That's how it goes I guess. Mainly I just wanted to tell you about Road ID because I think it is a really great product and I've never mentioned it before. I hope you'll take the time to look around on their site and don't forget the coupon code if you decide to order something.
