WellnessMats - Anti-fatigue Floor/Kitchen Mats ( Review & Giveaway)

Sometimes I really feel like I overlook the little things. And what a big difference in your life, those things that seem so simple can really make. Take my kitchen mat for example, simple enough right. I went to the store found a matching set I liked; purchased the little kitchen rug for below my sink, matching towels, pot holders and that was that. Never did I think, is this mat/rug going to be comfortable or supportive while I'm cooking, doing dishes etc - all chores I'm already not a fan of. So, for almost two years I have been standing on, well, just a little piece of decorative rug.

About two weeks ago I came across WellnessMats. I started reading around their website to find out more about  these amazing floor mats. Basically, they were deigned for your health and comfort; a anti-fatigue mat that while providing you standing comfort, also eases straining while standing for long periods of time.

I'm one of those people who is constantly complaining of leg and feet aches and pains. I often spend about 2 hours or more a day standing in the kitchen between dishes and cooking for six. I have to say I was really excited to see if WellnessMats would really make a difference.

When it arrived a immediately placed the WellnessMat down in place of my old kitchen mat. WOW, there was no denying there was a huge different in comfort and support. Of course then the rest of the house ran over to try it out as well. I wish I could explain how it feels. It is soft and sorta of forum fitting to your feet, but you can also actually feel the added support it gives you. In fact, I have to keep asking my daughter not to laying down on it, to which she replies "But, it's the most comfortable spot in the house." ... I really don't think I can argue.

Safe, non-toxic, and PVC-free, all WellnessMats are ergonomically engineered to provide maximum comfort, safety, relief and well-being while you stand, wherever you stand. Easy-to-clean (and now even easier) with a non-skid bottom, non-slip top, and no-trip beveled edge, WellnessMats are inherently anti-microbial by design and are stain, puncture and heat-resistant.  WellnessMats will always lay flat; edges will never curl and are perfect for any area of the home where one is on their feet: the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, home gym, or even shop or garage use.  Welcome to a new level of comfort

WellnessMats come in a variety of colors and sizes up to 5' by 4'. They also come in patterns and a Puzzle Collection which features custom runners and a  L-shape series made to fit. Wellness Mats also come with a 7 year warranty just in case!

The Perfect Classroom Valentines

Ah, the holiday of love is almost upon us. I remember the joy of celebrating any holiday in school, but there was something about Valentines Day; Creating those paper mailboxes and watching them fill up with valentines day cards. I loved to get home and sorting through them, trying to figure out which was my favorite. Of course my parents would always read them as well and try and make me embarrassed if one said something simple like "Be Mine" and it was from a boy!  lol

My boys have never been to into the holiday and two of them are over the age where sending them to school with Valentines is now appropriate. My third son is still young enough for a classroom celebration though, but what I really can't wait for, is my daughter to celebrate her first Valentines Day class party next year. My boys never even had a preference about what kind of cards I bought. I must admit though, I never thought of ordering Valentines Day Greeting Cards form a site like Tiny Prints before - now I am even more excited about my daughter handing out Valentines next year.

Have you checked out Tiny Prints Valentines Day selection yet? They have some great choices and guess what?!? They even had a card my youngest son actually requested!!!

Yup, a Batman type card from my Lil' Bat freak himself. What I love is that you can personalize the cards with photos if you wish. I think I'm going to get a head start, and even though my daughter isn't in school yet, since she is so excited about the holiday, I may purchase some Valentines Day photo cards for her to send out to our friends and family.

I absolutely love this card and think maybe I'm just looking for a reason to get it ....

I have never mailed out Valentines Day cards before though. Is this something you do? Have you received similar Valentines in the mail before? Whatever the case if your looking for some unique classroom cards or personal ones for your family or even significant other check out Tiny Prints full line of Valentines Cards.
