AMOPE® GelActiv™ Insoles - Crowdtap Review



I was recently sent a free package of AMOPE® GelActiv™ Insoles, compliments of Crowtap, in exchange for my honest review. 

Upon receiving the insoles, I immediately had to try them out.  I have had problems with foot pain for several years (had a bunion removed a couple of years ago and still have a bunion on my left foot).  So it hurts to wear flats, heels and any shoe with a tampered front.  For as long as I can remember, most shoes are uncomfortable to wear, especially for long periods of time.  But I've continued to hang onto my favorite pairs of shoes, uncomfortable or not, for special evenings out with friends and date nights where I will be sitting most of the time (going to dinner) or only need to wear the shoes for an evening.  I first tried the insoles with my favorite pair of Mary Janes - they are classy and go with lots of different outfits.  To my amazement, the shoes that were once uncomfortable to wear now feel like I'm walking in sneakers!  YEAH! 


The next pair of shoes I tried on using AMOPE® GelActiv™ Insoles is my favorite pair of flats.  I tried wearing these a month ago when I started my new job, but by the end of the day, my feet were in lots of pain.  With the insoles, I was able to wear them all day long without a problem. 

I love how versatile AMOPE® GelActiv™ Insoles are - I am able to use them with lots of different pairs of shoes, they are thin enough to fit into my shoes and still be comfortable and provide arch, heel and toe support for my feet.  Also, the insoles stay firmly in place inside my shoes and don't shift at all - this is a huge plus!  I am so glad that Crowdtap has introduced me to AMOPE® - I am a huge fan!

T-fal Ingenio Stop, Drop & Chop Party

I was lucky enough to be selected another Tryazon party last weekend.  It has been such a fun summer with lots of family gatherings and time with friends.  July is no exception -- my son turned 5 years old and I hosted a birthday party for him.  The afternoon before the party, I hosted a T-fal Stop, Drop & Chop party using a T-fal Ingenio Rapid Chopper, Micro Edge Peeler, 4 Quart Bowl, Zen 6" Utility Knife, Tripod Strainer and Cutting Board.  These items were sent to me along with peelers for guests to take home, compliments of Tryazon, in exchange for our honest opinions.  We started by cutting the food into smaller pieces so that they would fit into the chopper.  With just 5 pulls of the string, the food was evenly diced and ready to be added to the bowl.  What would have taken me 30 minutes to chop by hand only took 10 minutes with the T-fal Ingenio Rapid Chopper!  Already I was a HUGE fan!  This chopper is going to allow me more time to get other party preparations done before the big day tomorrow!  Other great features of this gadget is that it uses no electric power, is very easy to clean, can chop food in 5 seconds and has a lifetime warranty!



For the next recipe, we made home made guacamole.  I was curious if the food chopper would dice the avocado or if the avocado would come out mushy.  Much to my delight, the chopper did the perfect job and the avocado was diced perfectly!

We each tried a turn dicing ingredients for the recipe and love how effortless the chopper is to use!



The guacamole was delicious!  Not much left in the bowl!

 
We saved the Hawaiian Salsa to serve the next day - I spooned it into a halved pineapple to make it look fancy!



The party was a huge success!  I made sure to speak with everyone about the T-fal Ingenio Rapid Food Chopper and how it made food preparations so much quicker.  I spoke with them about how all of the T-fal Ingenio products are such nice quality and can be purchased on Amazon.
