Get Healthy with Best Buy #MillionSteps

Best Buy

As you guys know I am a brand ambassador for Best Buy, and as the number one Kitty for the job (along with 9 other Super Bloggers), I get to review awesome gadgets and appliances for the electronics giant. One of the more lovely things about receiving products is the connection I discover between the products sent and current campaigns taking place at Best Buy. I managed to receive two products this month; the Cusinart: Compact Juice Extractor (CJE-500) and a Fit Bit Aria Wifi Smart Scale. These products are both incredible in design and are convincingly easy to assimilate into your everyday life.

Cusinart Juice Extractor

Fusing the Cusinart: Compact Juice Extractor into your everyday dietary needs is more than doable. I am completely in love with natural fruit juicers. The more I find I can enjoy a delicious drink without the artificial crap, the more I look towards creating and mixing my own drinks. The interesting thing about the extractor is that you get the wonderful juicing without the loud racket of  normal juicers. I was excited to juice in peace…. how awesome is that?!?!?!? The machine comes with one touch operation, with an incredibly low motor, quietly blending your favorite fruits and vegetables. The design is far from bulky and can fit into the kitchen of even the most modern of tastemakers.  If you are interested in learning more about the Cusinart: Compact Juice Extractor click here :)

FitBit

The next item up for review is the Fit Bit ARIA Smart Scale.  The ARIA is more than just a scale, but a personal measure of your BMI, (Body Mass Index) weight and body fat %. The scale is intricate in both design and visual display. FitBit created one of the most interactive weight measurement tools on the market, as the user can sync the weight information with the Fitbit Iphone app, while also wirelessly uploading to FitBit’s website. The scale is very much so advanced and is the appropriate tool to measure your weight gain or loss.

The conjunction between these two lies in the health benefits and wellness both products project. The FitBit Aria Wifi Smart Scale’s primary goal is to detail the change of any user’s body to complete accuracy. The scale will also come in handy with the use of the Compact Juice Extractor, as it is also an indication of healthy living and watching your dietary intake. I personally enjoy both products and managed to discover one of my favorite juicing recipes (below).  Note: if you want add a little rum, I will not tell, but the scale may find out though! :)
