Need an energy boost? B Record Plus Review

Recently I was asked to review a new energy boosting product. Advertised for tired mums etc or anyone else needing a lift in their everyday energy and concentration levels!

I suffer with M.E so overwhelming fatigue is a huge issue for me so anything that could improve that for me would be worth it's weight in gold!

OK so here's the science bit:

B Record Plus is a liquid food supplement that’s been developed by international pharmaceutical company sigma-tau to provide sustained intellectual and physical energy for run down people.
  
It has been developed using established data; has a sustained effect (unlike other temporary boost energy drinks), has no caffeine and is made from naturally occurring substances including:

·         Vitamin B12
·         Four amino acids - L-Glutamine, L-Serine, L-Theorine and L-Arginine
·         L-Carnitine
 


B Record Plus reaches its full potential within 2-3 days and it’s recommended that you take it for ten days, though you can take it for as long as you like.


It’s recommended for people who need an extra energy boost and is ideal for:

·         Busy mums
·         Mothers recovering from having a baby
·         People moving house
·         People sitting exams
·         People recovering from an injury
·         Business people working under intense pressure

It’s also suitable for people over 12 years of age.
 
It can be bought from our website at www.brecordplus.com with ten days of the supplement being sold for £12.99 - still cheaper then having a Red Bull or a latte a day!



B Record Plus comes in packs of ten bottles that you take one a day. You just twist off the cap, shake it and drink it.
 

The best time to use it is before breakfast on an empty stomach and the minimum time to take it is about ten days, though it will start working after two or three days. There’s nothing to stop you continuing to take it.
 
 



B Record Plus, which is currently on sale across Europe and the US, was launched on June 8th in the UK with Nell McAndrew, who was also the first person here to try it.
   




So I have started this supplement today and I will post in a few days to see if I have started to feel a difference..............................HERE'S HOPING!!!!!

1, 2, 3........18995..... Stamps that is!!

Yes you read it correctly 18, 995!

That would be how many stamps my teenager collected, with help from his scout group, as a fundraiser for London Air Ambulance. That an 40 empty ( almost) ink cartridges!!
This was just the 1st box!

I know this to be exact as we have just spent the afternoon counting them........yes this is the point that you have to feel sorry for me now please.
2nd box...God help me!!

It really was one of those jobs that we have actually put off for the past few weeks. But today there was no excuse we could use. My son's end of year tests were over, my OH was at work ( lucky bugger), and it was absolutely p**sing it down, so there was no chance of getting distracted outdoors!!


So we emptied the first box and just started. Me, my teenager and my 10 year old (bless them) just had to get on with it. We decided to count them into 10 piles of 10 and then that way it would be easy to do a tally count for each 100.........SIMPLES!

However we really didn't realise how long it was going to take. We started at around 3ish and the boys continued until they went to bed!! Then it was over to my OH and myself ( thank God he had come home by then).
As always the supervisor was watching!

We finished at around 1025pm........Hooray done at last.


Now we have to just arrange to get them up to the Air Ambulance. My son is hoping to be able to get a picture with the helicopter or maybe if he is lucky, he might even get to put his bum on the pilot's seat!!!

Hi De Hi Campers!

Yes I have been missing in action from my blog for a week to go camping down towards the south coast.

With our new tent packed and meeting friends there, it was hopefully going to be a whole different experience than our 1st attempt.......remember the horrendous weather last August? Yes, we were camping in it!!!!!

However, looking on the bright side it was going to be great. For a start we had fabulous weather, and my Factor 25 was used several times.

We set up camp and took over a whole corner of the field, marking our territory and claiming our space. We had all mucked in together as I struggle with any heavy lifting etc and after about 3 hours we were settled in and comfortable.
All the kids (3 boys and 1 girl) get on like a house on fire so they disappeared into the play park were they spent most of the time, if they weren't filling the water bottles, exchanging cooler ice packs or just buying sweets from the shop, making fires and sword fighting using frying pans as shields!!!



We also had a fab day trip to Battle to visit the site of the 1066 Battle of Hastings, well worth a visit as the kids had a great time learning about the battle and what used to be there. They were able to run around and climb in and out of the old buildings and on the battlefield itself.

This would be my son doing an impression of King Harold being shot in the eye on the actual battlefield!!

And then of course you have the obligatory visit to the beach!!

So what was different?

1. It was sunny and warm!

2. We went with friends

3.Instead of being huddled up inside by 7pm we were all sitting out (kids playing in park) and lots of alcohol was consumed!! Which makes looking at the stars fun :)

4. Drinking a cuppa in the morning whilst trying to find a seat in the shade!

5. The amount of room in our tent....so much bigger than the last one.

6. Having a toilet to use during the night ( I bloody hate having to wander down a long field to the toilet block in the middle of the night in the dark!)

7. No TV on or video games for 5 whole days for the boys, and they had a great time!

8. It was sunny and dry and warm..................have I mentioned that :)



Anyway enough said, so roll on August when we are booked to camp at an 80's festival in Henley!!! Hopefully with another camping trip in between!
