Lurera Anti-Anxiety Pillow

 



Though my children are now 12 and 15, they both still love pillows, blankets and stuffies as a source of comfort. So when Lurera offered to send me their anti-anxiety pillow I knew I had the perfect testers in our house.

The Lurera is a soft, plush covered throw pillow that comes with a heating pad and heartbeat machine that can be inserted inside.  I thought the heartbeat machine was a unique idea that does have some science behind it in terms of its ability to soothe. 

One kid has a weighted blanket and a 5 foot teddy bear, the other has about a thousand stuffies and blankets on her bed. This kid, the 12-year-old, has been obsessed with soft, furry, plush things since she was an infant. She has just always gravitated towards them. So I guess I should not have been surprised when she snatched up the Lurera and immediately declared ownership. To my surprise, however, she tossed out the heating pad and heartbeat machine and just wanted the pillow as is.

The pillow comes in faux fur and shag, they sent us the faux fur variety, and in a number of colours. My kid is in love with the thing and carries it around the house now. Since we don't have pets and never will, I guess this is the closest thing she will get to it!

Now personally, I would have loved the option of purring instead of a heartbeat for sound, but that's because I am a crazy cat-less woman who finds cats the most soothing thing ever. But maybe the sound machine could offer several different options?

So do I recommend the Lurera? Sure, if you or anyone else you know could benefit. It seems very well made and definitely is really soft and feels good to snuggle.

Disclaimer: I was sent the Lurera to review but all opinions on this blog are my own.

Japanese 7-Spice Kelp Noodles

I love trying new spices and seasonings, so I am very excited that the President's Choice Black Label line now has a bunch of new spice blends available.  My most recent find: Shichimi Togarashi, or Japanese 7-Spice blend. It's a combination of crushed red chili flakes, sea salt, Szechiuan peppercorns, black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, orange zest, wasabi powder and nori seaweed flakes. I make Japanese-inspired dishes all the time, but resort to the same old flavours most of the time: miso, soy, sesame, ginger and garlic.  I was so excited to be able to liven things up a bit. This dish is easy and tasty, although be warned that this seasoning packs punch.  I used 1 tsp, which ended up being too spicy for me, and I have a high tolerance for heat!  I recommend 1/4-1/2 tsp, or, if you don't like heat at all, make your own at home and omit the red chili flakes.  You'll get all the flavour without the heat. I served these noodles with a mix of seafood (

Book Review: The A to Z of Children's Health

Hey there, welcome to Monday!  We had a delightful, relatively quiet weekend.  How was yours?  Hopefully no one in your home was sick...there is a lot of nasty stuff going around these days. If you're a parent, than you have probably spent far more time that you would like to desperately searching Google and/or parenting books trying to figure out if your child's rash, cough or fever warrants a trip to the doctor or if there is something that can be done to treat it.  It's hard not to worry that it could be something more ominous that just an every day infection and while you'd make yourself (and everyone around you) nuts if you panicked every time your kid has the sniffles, as a parent, you naturally want to do everything in your power to prevent your child from harm. Recently I was sent The A to Z of Children's Health , written by doctors Jeremy Friedman, Natasha Saunders, and Norman Saunders, of Toronto's very own Hospital for Sick Children .  One of th

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ste
