Pull Start Fire eliminates the need for matches, lighters or kindling.<\/p><\/div>\n

Quick Start Campfires or Fire Pits<\/span><\/h3>\n

You may be an expert at rubbing two sticks together to start your campfire or outdoor fire pit, but in a pinch, here’s a faster way. The Pull Start Fire<\/a> is a breakthrough fire starter that ignites with just the pull of the string.<\/p>\n

Wind, rain, wet wood? No problem. You don’t need matches, lighters, or kindling. Just stack your kindling or wood in a teepee or log cabin formation. Nestle the Pull Start Fire in the middle, pull the string, and voila!<\/p>\n

The Pull Start Fire burns for 30 minutes and is safe to cook over.<\/p>\n

Pull Start Fire starts fires with just pull of the string<\/p><\/div>\n

The Back Story<\/h4>\n

Pull Start Fire started when inventor Mike Beyrodt did what he loved to do. He went camping.<\/p>\n

Mike and his friends, Ryan and Zach were in Snowshoe, West Virginia, where it was a rather chilly -22 degrees outside. And there, in the snow, they were having a terrible time lighting a fire. Mike and his buddies joked that starting a campfire should be ‘an app for that’ where starting a campfire was concerned. In this day and age, they should be able to ‘push a button’ and poof, there’s fire!<\/p>\n

When the trip was over, and all were home, Mike endeavored to invent something that would do precisely that \u2026 something that would easily start a fire with frozen or wet wood, in any weather \u2026 something that made starting a fire as fast as it was easy.<\/p>\n

And so it was that Mike introduced his invention to the world – with one modification. Rather than push, you simply have to pull.<\/p>\n

Price: $19.99 for a three-pack. Available on PullStartFire.com<\/a> and at retailers nationwide, including Amazon, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Camping World, and more!<\/p>\n

\"\"Beauty Beat<\/h3>\n

If you are over a certain age, you may have noticed your skin appearing like crepe paper invaded it. Crepey skin? What’s that all about?<\/p>\n

Crepey skin is said to be caused by such things as sun damage, decreased collagen, weight loss or gain, smoking, lack of exercise. Lack of hydration affects the skin as well.<\/p>\n

To combat the appearance of crepey skin, drink more water, reduce sun exposure, follow a strength training program and choose a lubricating moisturizer. One such moisturizer we tested recently is Gold Bond\u00ae Ultimate Crepe Corrector Age Defense Lotion<\/a>. The product is touted to firm and plump dry aging skin.<\/p>\n

According to Gold Bond\u00ae, in clinical tests, after two days 82% of users reported a visible improvement in crepey skin in just two days and improved skin firmness and elasticity in two weeks. Crepe Corrector Age Defense Lotion provides 24-hour hydration. The key ingredients are botanicals, antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and vitamin E. Apply to the backs of hands and arms.<\/p>\n

Testing by Healthy Aging\u00ae Magazine staff showed the skin to be softened and smoothed with this cream. It’s not sticky, and the softness lasts all day. Dermatologist tested, the cream is hypoallergenic, absorbs quickly, is fragrance-free, and is suitable for all skin types.<\/p>\n

The Back Story<\/h4>\n

Gold Bond\u00ae is a familiar name. The company’s Medicated Powder was introduced in 1908 to local customers. It was an instant hit and grew by word of mouth into a thriving business with a passionate following to this day.<\/p>\n

Since then, Gold Bond\u00ae has grown into a market-leading skincare brand. They are innovative leaders with products for aging skin, cracked skin, overnight hydration, and specialty skincare needs like eczema-prone skin. Every year they launch more innovative products, so more people can get more enjoyment out of living in their own skin.<\/p>\n

Gold Bond Ultimate Crepe Corrector Age Defense Lotion, a long name for cream in a tube, is a recent addition to the product line.<\/p>\n

Price: 8 oz. lotion starting at $9.99. Available at stores like Walmart, Target, CVS Pharmacy, and also on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A new line of hair care products has been introduced by Danielle Christine Fishel<\/p><\/div>\n

Hair Care<\/h3>\n

You carefully read food labels, but how often are you putting on your reading glasses to see the fine print of your hair care products? Who understands those ingredient names anyway?<\/p>\n

Take a closer look and you might be surprised that some products contain ingredients like parabens, preservatives that have been linked to cancer, phosphates, and sulfates that strip your hair of its natural oil, phthalates which are used in plastic to make more flexible, and chemically-based fragrances.<\/p>\n

A new line of hair care products has been introduced by Danielle Christine Fishel, an American actress, director, model, and television personality, called “Be Free.”<\/p>\n

The line is touted as free of sodium chloride, sulfate, phosphate, gluten paraben, phthalates, and fragrance. The products are cruelty-free, vegan, color-safe, and made in the United States.<\/p>\n

Back Story<\/h4>\n

“When I found out I was pregnant, I became more concerned with what I had been putting into and on my body,” Fishel said. “It turns out, I wasn’t always making healthy decisions even when I thought I was, and the self-care products I had chosen weren’t as good for me as they said they were. But when I bought 100% natural or organic products, a lot was left to be desired! Where’d my clean and shiny hair go? Is having the best of both worlds impossible?”<\/p>\n

In the Kitchen<\/h3>\n

Unless you are like famous chef, Jacques Pepin, who can simply feel when the food he cooks is ready, you are likely to opt for a thermometer.<\/p>\n

\"\"Thermapen<\/a> is a must for your “batterie de la cuisine” (kitchen tools). It’s lightning-fast, extremely accurate (plus or minus accuracy to .5 degrees Fahrenheit), and it’s affordable.<\/p>\n

The probe folds neatly into the housing when not in use, somewhat like a pocket knife. The backlight display automatically illuminates in low-light, showing temperatures in Fahrenheit or Centigrade. It uses AAA batteries for 2000 hours of battery life. The thermometer is shockproof, dustproof, and waterproof.<\/p>\n

The only hitch is you need to know your temperatures. What is the temperature for rare, medium, or well-done steak? Do you know when cooked chicken is done?<\/p>\n

Thermoworks has taken the guesswork out of those questions by creating an easy-to-use thermometer chart. Print it out and have it handy!<\/a><\/p>\n

Back Story<\/h4>\n

The preferred brand among leading chefs and demanding operations, ThermoWorks sells directly to national chains, restaurants, food processors, health departments, and consumers. For more information, see the website: www.thermoworks.com<\/p>\n
