Hey what’s up? It’s Jenny Didonato with MadeFit TV. I want to tell you a little secret. We’re doing a giveaway in this episode so stay tuned at the end of the episode, I’ll tell you all about it. Hello and welcome to Made Fit TV. I’m your host, Jennifer Didonato and this is episode number 76. Made Fit TV is everyone’s source for health and fitness information and entertainment and fit bodies don’t just happen, they’re made and this podcast is a great way to start because it caters to beginners, it caters to athletes, it caters to anyone who has questions about nutrition all the way to training all the way to just motivation in general. This is a great place to come and we have a great fan base set up for people that can help with that as well because we stream this live every Saturday at noon. How about that? So the people that are watching on Wednesdays, you can chat with us live on Saturday and you and communicate and you can meet great people on our you stream so I just want to let you guys know that and also thank you for all the people who spend their Saturday afternoons with moi. I really appreciate it. So thanks for joining us. Today, is going to finish out or we’re in the middle of the holiday themed episodes and today, is healthy stocking stuffers. I’m not talking about fruit. I’m not talking about vegetables. Eeew. Who would want to put a perishable in a sock? Although back in the day, they did put oranges and apples so that could work but we’re talking about things that you can give to people they’ll actually use and they’ll probably appreciate. So it’s all about lifestyle. It’s all about incorporating the lifestyle because it’s the holidays, I just want to say once again though, not once again, I want to recognize Hanukkah just started so this is a great way to give those gifts around Hanukkah as well. So you want to incorporate into your lifestyle and make sure that you’re not letting the holiday calories get you. You can take control of it. Enjoy yourself but also be responsible so let’s get started. Okay stocking stuffer number one, this is a little bit bigger to put in a stocking but I have an igloo lunchbox. It’s really cool. I don’t know if you guys typically use these but what you can do is it’s refrigeratable. I don’t know if that’s a word but taking your food to work is the number thing that you can do to make sure that you’re eating healthy, if your bring those healthy foods. So you got all those little compartments. You see right in here, just like that. They come with so many of these things. So many. It’s pretty inexpensive, maybe $10.00 depending on which kind you get but it keeps your food cold. You can pack a sandwich. Something healthy, pack anything healthy, maybe some leftovers from dinner. Some grilled chicken and asparagus and maybe a potato. Pop it in there but it’s great because also, you’re not only saving calories and saving the bad stuff, you’re also saving money as well because in these hard times, we did little experiments in our household about bringing the food to work more and it saves. It adds up so this is a great thing to get people so then they don’t have any excuses. They say, okay, I have it. I’m going to make my lunch and I’m going to bring it to work. That’s a great stocking stuffer. Another one which I’m a huge fan of, I’ve been drinking these things for years, I swear they should pay me to be plugging this right now but they’re not. I swear to God. EAS shakes. These are called carb advantage. I love these things. They’re just 110 calories and 17 grams of protein. And because of my competitor out there, you guys know me, you need something quick to get that protein into your system and these are great stocking stuffers because a lot of times you tell people, just drink protein shakes or drink this, drink that but it’s like I don’t have to prepare a protein shake. I don’t know where to put it. Now, you can put it in this and they don’t know what goes in it. They don’t know what to do so these are a great thing to introduce people into the healthier type of foods that you’re eating. Because a lot of times people are intimidated. So if you’re referring them to something, say hey, I eat this, try it. It’s a great thing to stuff in a stocking. The next thing I’m a huge fan of, Geradelli chocolate, you’re thinking, Jenny, what’s going on? Chocolate? Okay, this is 86% cocoa so majority of this is whole cocoa, high in antioxidants. I’m not talking about Hersheys. This stuff is great because it has a lot of antioxidants in it already because that cocoa, it’s derived straight from there so getting the deep deep dark chocolate with the count or the percentage of the cocoa on it is what you’re looking for and these are great stocking stuffers. Let me just open it up and take a look here. You could even split it up among a few friends if you want to. Some of your kids, just pop them in there and see, just one of them. And one serving is 240 calories. That’s for four pieces okay so just put one or two in there. Great for antioxidants and it’s a great way to enjoy something a little sweet that’s healthy as well. The last thing that we have, I’m really excited about this. Miriam Klieman, she is from Tiva. It is a Detroit based company that she started. It is for facial products and I use this myself. You can give them a healthy all natural facial mask or facial treatments and Tiva is a great company because this stuff is all natural. She made it herself. She went into the lab and she put all these ingredients together and she made this stuff and it’s amazing. I use this. It’s a mask that I use. I put it on after you wash your face so you let it dry, let it sit for a little while and when I had an appearance on channel 4 local 4, I used it the night before because I just wanted everything to be all firm and rejuvenated. I was telling Chris, I’m going to have bags under my eyes but this is a great thing. Even if there’s any other type of healthy product for the face, it’s a great great stocking stuffer because you’ve got to take care of yourself. You want to keep hydrated. This stuff keeps everything hydrated and moisturized and replenishes you. It’s good for wrinkles too. So—what’s that? Where do you get it? Like I said Tiva.com, it’s mytiva.com and her name is Miriam. So this is great stuff. It’s a good stocking stuffer and this thing is $47.00 value. $47.00 value but we’re actually doing a giveaway like I mentioned. What I want to do is I want to give one lucky viewer this right here, $47.00 value, I want to give it to you for free, cover shipping all that good stuff. What we’re doing is we want to do a giveaway as a thank you for all of you people out there so starting when this uploads on Wednesday, I want you to go to madefittv.com and at the bottom of this video, I want you to comment.
