Wiley's Finest® CatchFree™ Full Spectrum Omega-3 Softgels Review

Wiley's Finest Full Spectrum Omega-3 Softgels are great to take. It helps with the heart and brain. 


Catch-Free:

Since it’s catch-free, there’s no fishy taste or burps. I've heard of people having a fishy taste with these supplements, but I never have. I still like that it's vegan. We're not meat free, but trying to do with less meat.

Packaging:

It came in a box, with bubble wrap over it. The cap was sealed with plastic. The inside of the cap had foam sealed inside it.

I love the look of their packaging, but the text on the bottle is hard to read.

I think it's so wonderful they filled the bottle up!






One daily dose of two easy-to-swallow vegan omega-3 capsules deliver:

  • 725mg of total omega-3s
  • 500mg DHA fatty acids
  • 5mg EPA fatty acids
  • Vitamins D3 and K2

Omega-3s, EPA and DHA are well known to support a wide range of health benefits, including*:

  • A healthy heart and strong vitality for men and women of any age
  • Long-term vision care
  • Softer, wrinkle-free skin
  • Enhanced memory, better concentration and sharper focus
  • Flexible joints and better mobility
  • A stronger immune system so you can look and feel your best

Wiley's Finest® CatchFree™ Vegan Omega-3 Liquid Supplement Review

Wiley’s Finest makes a vegan non-GMO Omega 3 Liquid Supplement. 

Why is it important that it's vegan even to those that are meat eaters? Because some of the Omega 3 supplements are not, and they leave a fish flavor in your mouth.

This Omega 3 supplement actually has a mango flavor. It can be mixed with water. 


Packaging:

It came inside a box, wrapped up in bubble wrap, and the lid had plastic on it.

I love that they fill the bottle up! So much waited packaging, but not with Wiley's Finest.

The packaging looks great, but is a bit hard to read. It's hard to determine how much to give. I wish it came with a dropper that said how many drops = a dose.


Smoothie Time:

We usually have a smoothie each morning. Since I've lost my job, for the time being we're laying low and having a big tall glass of water most mornings.

Guess what? It's berry season. So we have free strawberries and free June berries. We also have lots of kale. Smoothie time renewed. Our smoothie this morning had drops of Wiley's Finest® CatchFree™ Vegan Omega-3 Liquid Supplement, berries, banana, kale, ice and milk.

One daily dose of 1 teaspoon of vegan omega-3 delivers:

  • 5mg EPA fatty acids
  • 1,300mg ALA fatty acids

@JetGiftBaskets Review

I got the cutest Mini Burt's Bees Relaxation basket in the mail today! It was wrapped up, and packaged all pretty like.


Stocked full of Burt's Bee products:
  • Burt's Bee Foot Cream - Coconut
  • Burt's Bee Two Hand Creams - Almond Milk | Honey and Grapeseed
  • Burt's Bee Hand Salve
  • Burt's Bee Cuticle Cream - Lime
  • Burt's Bee Chapstick - Pomegranate 
  • Target Washcloth - Neutral in color
  • A Wooden Tray
They hand pick their items, so things like the washcloth color could change from order to order. I actually like mine. I have grey towels, and the washcloth is a brownish grey color. On their website it's green.



I'm most excited for the hand creams, salve, and cuticle cream. I was already washing my hands a lot before COVID-19 hit. I wash them before and after holding Sunny our gecko. Now I wash them even more. Plus I do dishes. My hands feel dry. I hope all the Burt's Bee products help. 


The main topics on what they sell:

  • Gift Baskets and Flowers
  • Thank You
  • Birthday
  • Sympathy
  • Corporate

They have a drop down menu, that has many other topics!

I think a box like this would be a great Mother's Day gift, new Mom gift, get better gift, or lost your job? gift.

I do like the wooden tray. It can be reused, by making your own basket.

Pretend money didn't matter - what would put in a basket? Who would you give it to? What special day would it be for?

My basket would be a special cookie cutter, some sprinkles, espresso powder, a mitt, and a few recipe cards. I'd give it to my sister that's due in August.


I've used Burt's Bees products before, and do like all these. As for a package I do think it would be helpful to have more variety. There's two hand creams, and one hand salve. Possibly add in a lip tint, or a bar of soap. 

Where to get this set:

You can pick it up at jetgiftbaskets.com, for $37.95. They have a lot of other gift baskets to choose from.

WW: Man VS Nature {Linky}



A beautiful sculpture that stands for peace, and a car window was slammed on top of it. This had nothing to do with the protests. I took this way before that was happening. In a way I liked the contrast; even though it wasn't supposed to be.

Dandelion Shortbread Cookies

I continued on with making dandelion everything I could find online. Mica and Isaak rolled their eyes when I had them pick as many yellow flowers as they could. In my deep freezer I have a back stock of dandelion flowers.

Some recipes I added, or subtracted this or that.

Dandelion Shortbread Cookies did not disappoint. I was expecting the boys to put their nose up at me, instead they asked for a 2nd cookie.


What I added from the original recipe: 

Vanilla!

What I love about this recipe: 

There isn't a lot of ingredients. 
There is no need to frost them.



I love putting a tie on cookies. Seriously it takes something bland, and turns it into being cute!


Travis said that he couldn't even taste the dandelion. 

Why Add Dandelion?
  • Highly Nutritious
  • Contain Potent Antioxidants
  • May Help Fight Inflammation
  • May Aid Blood Sugar Control
  • May Reduce Cholesterol
  • May Lower Blood Pressure
  • May Promote a Healthy Liver
  • May Aid Weight Loss

They probably won't help with weight loss because of the flour and sugar, but at least you know it has that power.


What is your favorite type of cookie?

WW: A Raisin in the Sun {Linky}

Many, many weeks back my husband and I went to see A Raisin in the Sun at Omaha Community Playhouse. I went through my old work laptop, and found the images. I was so happy to have won tickets! A big thank you goes out to my ENT office on FB! I've won tickets to see two different shows through them.

They won't let you photograph the show because it's a huge distraction to the actors.


With everything going on in the news I thought it was a perfect week to post it.


Have you seen the play, or watched the movie?

Random Tid Bits

  1. I didn't even know today was Friday. That's how out of the loop I am.

  2. I've been applying to all kinds of different jobs. Trying to keep an open mind. Travis is like, "What are you doing?! You don't want to do that." 

  3. I found this at work...it says during a recession to apply to all different things.


  4. My sister has been helping me with my resume. I like the wording changes she's made, but hate the layout. She had someone look at it that hires people. She wanted me to break everything up into bullet points. It's just bullet crazy now. If you're good with looking over a resume, and want to weigh in on what you think, let me know. anapeladay@gmail.com
  5. I went to pick up everything at work. I had a trunk full! I did demos, so lots of art supplies! I had a lot of art books. It was all very overwhelming. An end to an 18 year chapter is hard.

Closure and Depression :(

Many of you know I've been looking for jobs off and on, for a few years. I had opportunities that were close to happening. I had opportunities I had to pass up because I was under a contract.

I only had a few months to look for work during the summer time. Even then, the school I work for had me sign that contract, for the fall almost as soon as the summertime hit.

It was really hard to move in any direction, but straight.

We were told that we could work from home late March. Online classes were hard. I think I could get used to them, but it was different from what I developed before. I stayed up until 10 almost every night during finals time; working on tests.

Yesterday we had a staff meeting. It was just a few of us. My boss said that enrollment was already low, and got impossible when COVID-19 hit. They decided to close the school down, for this incoming class. Along with that went the full time instructors.

Was I surprised? Not really.

Was I sad? Yes. I mean I've been there, since 2002. Before I even had kids.

Was I panicked? Certainly! I had a bite of a job before COVID-19 hit. Well I emailed them again, and they picked someone else. I felt so good about that interview. To be honest I was more mad at them, than getting laid off. I really wanted that job. The person that interviewed me said she'd let me know as soon as a decision was made. They majorly dragged their feet in deciding. Now I'm stabbing at anything trying to get something. During a pandemic it's not really the time to be picky.

I just paid a $1,000 bill for Travis' endoscopy, Travis needs a crown, and I paid our mortgage bill.

I have tons of stuff on my work computer, because I've had it for ages. I don't have any of the Adobe Suit on my home laptop. Scrabble time!

Even though I'm sad, I'm most concerned about Isaak. There's days now where he just wants to lay in bed. Granted he's been going to bed late, but he seems depressed. I don't know what to do. It's not like I can drop everything to spend time with him. I'm applying to places.

If you don't see me much, it's because I'm on the hunt. The job hunt. Who knows maybe I will have to let off steam, and blog. Then you have to listen to me rant. Ha! Please be safe! Our hospitals here are filling up fast, since things have opened up. I love my blogger friends. I don't want to kiss you, but I love your comments, and friendship!

Peace and Love

WW: Double Take {Linky}

Isaak came to me all excited to try something new. He wanted to have me take a pan photo, but he'd or I would quickly move to get more than one of us.

Here's the results. They aren't perfect, but certainly a fun idea!







An interesting concept anyhow. 

Have you ever tried camera effects?



Wooden #Puzzles for Toddlers

Not too long ago, I was told I'm going to be an aunt again. My nieces and nephew's call me Aunt Lissy. I'm excited to have a niece after many years. I have only one other niece, and she's around the age of 26. I start to loose track, once a person goes past the age of 10. She was born when I was in college, so I think I have her age right. Margaret will be born late August. She'll have 4 brothers. Help her! Ha!

Along with the excitement of having a new girl in the family, I have new products to review. One, is a puzzle set for Miss Margaret. I hope she finds it to build her fine motor skills well.


Age Range:

It says for ages 3 and up. 

Mica got into puzzles well before age 3. It probably depends on the child. 

What the Set Comes With:

Four wooden puzzles + a storage bag


My favorite:

Olivia the Owl is my favorite. They aren't named, but I named them. 


Second Favorite:

I love bees because they are cute, and if you leave them alone they aren't a threat. I called his one Bella Bee. 


Third Favorite:

I like this one, although I think the fish could pop out more - contrast wise. A lot of yellow in the background, and a lot of yellow in the fish. I called his one Fishy Faith.


Fourth Favorite:

I like this one just about as much as the fish, but I have to be honest here - the background totally peeled up. It's like it wasn't even glued down. If a 3 year old kid got ahold of that, it would be a goner. It's cute, but give me a held up product! I will probably paint Elmer's glue on it, and place it myself. I called his one Lizzy Lady.



The Bag:

The bag isn't a quality bag, but it's handy. What little kid doesn't like to carry stuff around, and pretend to go on a nowhere trip? I can't think of one. Isaak always packed to go nowhere. All the puzzles fit inside. 


Which puzzle is your favorite?

You to can pick up this product on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TTRLVRZ for $19.99 on sale for $13.87.
