Rain X Review

I sheepishly admit to ignoring a lot of things about my car. I am usually almost too busy to even think about the little things like keeping the windows clean and changing my wiper blades.
What I didn’t know was that you should be changing them at least twice a year! I don’t think that mine have been changed on my car in over two years.

As you can imagine having a good set of wiper blades is extremely important in the winter months and especially in the rainy season. I know without a good set of wipers on my car I can barely see in the rain and especially when its raining at night.

Clear visibility while driving is extremely important and can improve reaction times in poor weather conditions. In fact, according to a report released in June 2008 by sciencedaily.com, nearly a quarter of all automobile accidents occur in rainy and wet weather so making sure you have properly working wiper blades is important to help avoid accidents in poor weather conditions. By routinely checking your wiper blades and performing safety checks on your car you can help increase your safety while driving during inclement weather.

Since winter is not quite over yet here are some tips to stay safe while driving in the rain, snow, slush and ice:
• Conduct a regular walk around checking your lights, antifreeze, windshield washer fluid and wiper blades regularly
• Ensure your tires are properly inflated and have sufficient tread
• As the temperature drops keep your gas tank at least half full; the extra gas reduces condensation that can plug your fuel line with ice and stall your engine in cooler weather
• Create an emergency pack; items like a blanket, first aid kit, snacks (I have snacks on hand anyway!), bottled water, an ice scraper, flashlight and a bag of kitty litter .

I just recently tried out the new RainX Latitude wipers , a bottle of Rain-X X-treme Clean glass and plastic renew-er, and a bottle of Rain-X Weatherbeater 2-in-1 Glass Cleaner + Rain Repellent and I must say that I love them. The RainX Latitude wiper blades have a contoured design that fits more snugly to your windshield to help remove snow, ice, and rain more effectively. They were a snap to put on which is a plus for car challenged people like me.

The 2-in-1 glass cleaner and rain repellent is excellent. I am amazed at what a difference it makes when it is raining outside. In stead of the rain completely coating my windshield it sort of just beads up and rolls off which helps a great deal for visibility when you are in a downpour.

RainX Latitude Wiper Blades

Easy Installation

• For use on either originally installed standard or curved style wiper blades
• Pre-installed with small j-hook adapter and contains multi-adapter for side pin, large j-hook and bayonet wiper blade arms
• Rain-X Latitude® Version -2 wiper blades fit I&L (Insert & Lock) and PTB (Pinch Tab Button) wiper blade arms

High Performance Wipe

• Contoured design applies even pressure along the entire blade length
• Specially blended graphite coated rubber blade delivers the ultimate smooth, clean, chatter-free wipe
• Built-in aerodynamic spoiler significantly reduces drag, noise and wind lift

Ice Resistant Frame

• Prevents ice and snow build-up through the elimination of exposed metal components
• Durable, rubber-encased substructure increases wiper flexibility and adherence to the windshield in harsh conditions

I will now be a little more vigilant in changing my wiper blades, because it makes such a difference!  I didn’t think that just changing your wiper blades would make such a difference.  It’s nice to be able to see out the window without feeling like the outside is a hall of mirrors.

My Fruit Roll Ups…A Fun Way to Add a Personal Touch

I just recently had the opportunity to design my own personal fruit roll ups. Fruit Roll Ups have been around since I was a kid, so I was excited to try it out.   It is such a nifty idea, especially if you are looking to do something unique and out of the ordinary.  My Fruit Roll Ups can be used for party favors for your child’s birthday, or handed out on Valentine’s day, and for any occasion really.

The process was a snap and it didn’t take long at all.  They have a ton of different designs to choose from and uploading your picture is simple and quick.   I chose a Valentine’s Day theme to put a picture of the boys on to hand out as cute little personalized greeting to people.  Each box comes with 30 Fruit Roll Ups, so that you have enough to go around.  I wasn’t sure how the quality would be, but when I received them, I was pleasantly surprised, and the boys got a kick out of seeing their faces on something they were eating.  I hope we don’t eat the box before Valentine’s day gets here!

If you would like to have the chance to design you very own My Fruit Roll Ups, DoubleBugs would like to give its readers the chance to win a box of their own.

My Weight Loss Coach..Gaming to a New You

So I was sitting here playing with my Nintendo DS and yes folks I do have one and it is pink.  I enjoy playing the Brain Age Games, and  well in the light of me wanting to lose some weight, I thought I would give the  “My Weight Loss Coach” game a try.  It is a lot of fun and it keeps all my information in one place so I can track my progress.  It even comes with a pedometer so I can use it when the weather is nice or just wear it around the house because it seems like I never sit down anyway.

My Weight Loss Coach

My Weight Loss Coach for Nintendo DS is a game for every adult, male and female, who considers reaching and maintaining their target weight a challenge. A program that fits your own objectives and respects your daily life constraints, My Weight Loss Coach supports you and tracks your progress and achievements by improving your energy balance. Developed in conjunction with a nutritionist, it helps you take control of your weight efficiently and feel better. Via an exclusive pedometer (included free with the game), you will be able to measure your real physical activity level and balance it, following the advice of a fitness coach. Your motivation will increase with coaching sessions, daily challenges, mini-games and quizzes – play for only 10 to 15 minutes per day and you will feel the difference!

Key Features

• Personal Profiles: Create your personal profile and evaluate your improvement potential, then set up your objectives following the recommendations based on your personal profile.
• Input Reward System: On a daily or weekly basis, overall, per input category, via a pedometer, physical activity and nutrition.
• The Pedometer: Free with the game and easily updated through your DS, it’s the best way to control your daily physical effort, challenge yourself and balance your food intake.
• Real-Life Landmark Checkpoints: As a reward, all physical activities you achieve and good nutrition habits you acquire are converted into distance. Didn’t you notice you’d already been traveling the distance equivalent to the Great Wall of China?
• Mini-Games:
  • 10 coaching sessions, with different themes like alimentation and physical activity, help define your profile and give you strategies
  • 300 to 500 fun challenges, depending on your profile and your needs
  • Four trivia games, featuring about 300 questions with learning and awareness objectives
  • More than 160 tips and hints within the game

This is such a fun way to get in shape and it is almost like having your own personal trainer and motivation at your fingertips. The stick figure guy is so funny to watch! I received two of these games for the holiday so I thought I would share, by giving my readers a chance to win a copy of their own.
