DaddyScrubs Review + GIVEAWAY!
Hey guys, hope you had an AWESOME Thanksgiving! Happy Black Friday to you all.
I have a special review and giveaway on the blog today to share with all of you ladies (and your men, too!).
I am reviewing DaddyScrubs, a line of expectant father gifts, that was created with the idea in mind for daddies to wear comfortable clothes in the hospital (or anywhere else!) to comfort their laboring wives. Daddies play a big part in this, too!
The brand features actual scrubs! But no confusion between who's daddy and who's doctor, as the daddy scrubs will say "Im the Daddy" or "Daddy" on them, making them the perfect gift for your husband or partner. The brand also features t-shirts, loungewear, daddy & toddler sets, hats, ties, and even a daddy diaper pack! Not bad for new dad gifts!
I chose to review the long sleeved "Im the Daddy" T-shirt on my husband-he was so excited to receive this and absolutely cannot wait to wear it for our big day! Its the little things, people! Upon trying the shirt on, my husband stated he felt the shirt was made of good quality and it was true to size (something very important for a dude!).
The shirt really put a huge smile on his face-and mine too. I am so happy that a company like DaddyScrubs exists because it seems like maternity tees are in abundance, but these specialty tees for the men are usually hard to find.
I have teamed up with DaddyScrubs to offer you a super sweet giveaway for that special man in your life! Just simply follow all of the steps, each step will count as an extra entry for you!!
I also wanted to share with you a special coupon code that you may use to take 10% off of your total when you order some daddy to be gifts!
Promo Code: BLOG13
Also, be sure to check out their holiday deals going on!

How to Lose Those Last Few Pounds!
If you're one of the many people who have lost a lot of weight already or just want to lose a few pounds, you'll know how very difficult that is. However, if you've nearly attained your goal weight and just want to know how to lose the last 5 pounds or only have about 5 pounds to lose anyway, you will at least be more active and able to do exercise or sport than those with a lot of weight still to lose.
Unfortunately, that last bit of weight can be hard to shift but there are products and methods that can help.
Here are some tips for how to lose the last 5 pounds.
Tip #1
Don't give up and go on a binge. That will undo all your hard work thus far.

Tip #2
Don't stress about just 5 pounds. You may find that doing some high intensity exercise or just increasing your exercise regime will not only shift the weight while you stick to your existing diet, but will tighten and tone your muscles too. Exercise increases your metabolic rate and transforms fat into muscle as well as giving you that feel good factor because of the endorphins released in your brain by the additional activity.

Tip #3
When choosing your exercise routine, go for something that you really enjoy. After all, if you aren't a good swimmer then trying to swim fifty lengths four times a week is going to be a real trial. There are plenty of activities to choose from as well as the standard running, cycling, rowing and aerobics classes. Why not give a marshal art a try; something like Taekwondo or kick boxing or if that's a bit too exotic, Yoga and Pilates are great for toning. Dancing is another great form of exercise so give ceroc a try or rock n' roll or even belly dancing, which is becoming increasingly popular.

Tip #4
Whatever form of exercise you decide to do, do stick to it by setting yourself a schedule of a number of times a week and the length of time. If you do high intensity workouts then two or three times a week for twenty minutes or so will be enough but if you go the aerobic route, three or four times weekly for forty to sixty minutes will be needed.

Tip #5
For those that only need to lose a few pounds, it's an unfortunate fact that some treats which form part of your normal diet will have to go. Carbohydrates, sugars, fats and alcohol, even if normally taken in moderation will need to be cut back to a bare minimum.
