Paciugo! Gezhundheit!
One of the fun perks of being a health writer is coming home and finding little treats awaiting you in your mailbox. Some days, that treat may be a vitamin-infused lip gloss; others, a double-stranded pearl thong (don't ask). But I have to admit, I am really enjoying this delicious gelato - fat-free, mind you, so it's more like sorbet - from a company called Paciugo. They sent me a bunch of quirky, crazy flavors, like Mango Cucumber, Banana Beet and Strawberry Celery. Despite the fact I have body lotions in similar scents, they taste refreshingly good. Like the Strawberry Celery...at first it's just like homemade berry ice, but then you let it linger on your tongue and it's like, Whoa! Celery! But just a smidge. Plus, they're packed with vitamins so I feel slightly more virtuous gobbling down a bowlful (ok, fine, I 've been eating it straight from the styrofoam carton) than, say, Edy's Mint Chocolate-Chip.
While I'm on the topic of food being send to my house, ChefsDiet has me in a love/hate relationship with their baked donuts. I'm not a pastry person, but dear Lord! These babies taste like the real thing and two dozen of them arrived, slightly melted so I HAD to lick the marble icing off. I mean, I kind of had to. Only four grams of fat each. If only companies would order these instead of the full-fat varieties for morning meetings...
OK, that's enough shameless corporate shilling for me today. If you know of an unusual but healthy treat and want to share, by all means go ahead.
Oh, PS, I am in a giant tizzy over FruitFlowers edible arrangements. Daisies made of pineapple and strawberry? Sign me up! If only someone would send me one...sigh.

In search myself for a new delicious recipe I landed on this site podcastGO.com. Not only was the recipe delicous, grilled summer vegetable salad, it was light and SSSOOO easy to make. I just clicked and the video was uploaded onto my ipod ( you can use a phone too) and i was off to the supermarket with my portable list.
To anyone who wants to buff up their family dinner or workout or even learn how to knit. I HIGHLY recommend this site. I amm curious to know if others agree with me on this sites wonders.
Yeah, Leslie...quite making us all jealous with your perks. hee. hee...Hmm...all i get in the mail are books, big, hard-covered books on everything you can think of...a girl can't live on books alone...smile...would love me some donuts if anybody is reading.
If you want to get royal treatment, wish a FruitsToRemember.com basket! We got three in our company quarterly party and it was definitely the best strawberries and chocolate I have ever had, in a majestic design!
I am in COMPLETE agreement about podcastGO.com. I use it all the time for me, my family and how my boys and husband are catching on with the pro Golfer, Football and basketball tips. Not to mention more on the way. PodcastGo really gets the entire mobile market, making it easy for everyone to be on the GO with information. iVillage needs to get them on the show.. who are the podcastGO people? Well done whoever you are.. and keep it up
Another devoted fan
PodcastGO is the place to go and growing with its approach on "how to". PodcastGO is the information super highway in video short format. iVillage, Get them on the show please. This company simply is amazing. Just like cable TV a long time ago and look where it is now. Lynn I love it as well!
PodcastGO and iVillage need to meet
don't be too excited about those flavors. they are not natural as they are claimed to be. They claimed that it was made with whole milk only. It is not true. They claim that it was made with fresh fruit. It is not true either. No food coloring. It is full of food coloring. how can their pistachio green is so green. It is a company that is built on lies. want to know more. check this out.
