As you know, technology not only helps us get from point  A to point B, but it has also given rise to better methods of monitoring and improving sustainable travel, as well as, great information and cost effectiveness, when planning our travels.

While, the report is a wrap-up of the latest advancements in travel technology, broken down by industry sector, they have also delved into the ways in which we are using technology to become more eco-conscious. It has also been a huge help in  finding helpful ways to make green choices.

When we think about well being, it is more than just a matter of feeling well or being well.

Our well being encompasses both our physical and mental health that paints the big picture of our overall well being and general health and wellness.

Do you ever think about the sense of contentment you get from feeling close and connected to family, friends, neighbors and your place (if you have one) in your broader community? That’s and example of  well-being.

Can you remember how good it feels to be financially confident, instead of worrying about your bills and money? When your career’s in good shape and you’re on top of your savings—that’s well-being, too. And let’s not forget the emotional lift  and joy you get from the time you spend traveling the world, or exploring new—and old—interests, or just taking a play day every now and then.  All these are healthy and enjoyable things that add up to your Well-being and YOU taking care of YOU.

New Nectresse Sweetener

Sep-4-2012 By Barbara Zak

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Nectresse™ Sweetener for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

What’s left of Summer just got a whole lot sweeter with Nectresse. From the maker of Splenda® Sweeteners, NECTRESSE™Sweetener derives its natural sweetness from the monk fruit, a small green melon that has grows on lush vines in remote mountain regions in Asia. For hundreds of years this wonderful fruit has been used by natives of the mountain regions, and NOW it is the only sweetener made from this naturally sweet fruit.  The deliciously sweet monk fruit extract, is combined with the perfect blend of other natural sweeteners in Nectreese, to bring you the rich sweet taste of sugar without all the calories.

Lisa Ling,is America’s favorite journalist,and she is the NECTRESSE™ Sweetener spokesperson! Due to her family history of diabetes she has always been cautious about her sugar intake and relied only on no calorie sweeteners to satisfy her sweet tooth.  She hasn’t liked any other sweetener as much as NECTRESSE™!  Here is her video testimonial about Nectresse:

An important thing to note is that, NECTRESSETM Natural No Calorie Sweetener is 150 times sweeter than sugar. It can be used in cooking and baking to add natural, zero calorie per serving sweetness to your favorite baking recipies and beverages. You’ll be surprised at how little Nectresse you will use to achieve the desired sweetness you are after.Your recipies will have the same great flavor, at a fraction of the cost and zero calories.

Here is a picutre of what I had for breakfast

2 golden plums with 1/2 cup of blacberries from my yard.  A 6oz container of Oikos Cherry flavored Yogurt, and 1/2 cup 2% Cottage Cheese for protein.  Topped with a packet of Nectresse equal to two teasppons of sugar, a few sprinkles of Cinnamon, and a handful of Cinnamon flavored Rice Chex (gluten free).  Nectresse was just enought to flavor the cottage cheese.  I will be doing this again, as it was a very tasty treat, and not overly sweet. What I’m really pleased about, is there is no lingering aftertaste, that I have noticed in some other sweetners.  That is a big plus to me.

NECTRESSETM Sweetener, is available NOW in grocery stores, drug stores, supercenters and online, for suggested retail prices of $3.99 for convenient single-serve packets of (40 servings) and $.6.99 for an easy to hold canisters of (140 servings) availavle with a multipurpose lid for sprinkling, pouring or spooning.
