Meditation for Beginners
Customer Review: Excellent DVD
This DVD was much easier to follow than Rodney Yee’s. I like this instructor. She explains the yoga and meditation very well.
Customer Review: Terrific for first timers
I had never contemplated trying meditation but when it was suggested, figured I needed something pretty straightforward. While I skip the yoga stretching (my body simply doesn’t do that anymore), I found the guided meditation here tremendous. It took only twice through before I found I could do it. It is great to do before bed as it really helps shut the mind down. If you’ve been thinking about trying it but never taken the step - this is a great way to go. I highly recommend it.

Customer Review: Great product
We puchased the trash can a few months ago. We have given the unit extensive use without a flaw. The only problem is the front of the unit tips up slightly in the front and not securing it’s self securely in the groove it is to lay on. Other than that, no problems. Would buy again.
Customer Review: I feel like Buck Rogers!
This is the best thing since bread slicing machines. Just walk over to the trash can and it cheerfully opens for you! No more fumbling with the lid and trying to keep nasty gunk from getting all over as you do. I appreciate this quite a lot as I am deathly afraid of chicken germs and I have a 3 year old in the house who could easily touch a dirty trash bin if I had one around - luckily I no longer do! The 3 year old also enjoys the can and he takes great pride in helping throw away trash so he can use the can. He even thanks the can afterwards, which is very cute.

Millie Meter has arrived in the land of the giants, and none of them is feeling well at all. The youngest of the mammoth beings, Bulk, will do anything to relieve his upset stomach–even if that means opening his mouth wide enough to let Millie fly inside and look for the problem.
Millie Meter’s Nutrition Adventure takes players on a tour through a giant-sized digestive system, stopping to study six important phases of the process, from the mouth to the large intestine. In these areas, animated characters introduce Millie to the intricacies of food breakdown. Players must also locate a hidden game in each section. Completing these activities earns Millie a piece of the Golden Pyramid, and a minilecture on nutrition and the food groups.
An enjoyable diversion for children in the 4- to 8-year-old age range, Millie Meter’s Nutrition Adventure has an appealing cast of characters. Its activities are far from unique–including preschool standards such as a picture maker and a true-or-false quiz–but each activity is well designed and entertaining. Designed to deliver a great deal of information on the concept of good nutrition, the game is perhaps a bit blunt in stating the consequences of overindulging in sweets or failing to maintain good oral hygiene–more sensitive players may find this disturbing. It is also possible to play through the entire game quite quickly.
Despite these weaknesses, Millie Meter’s Nutrition Adventure has much to recommend it–a quirky animation style, solid educational science, and some great songs. Players who strap into Millie’s flying capsule will find the lessons of Bulk’s body–and their own–to be wholesome, greatly enjoyable, and easily digestible to boot. (Ages 4 to

Customer Review: enjoyable program
My daugter of 6 liked this game a lot. She is always asking about what happens to your food, why do we burp etc. and this program answered a lot of her questions. The graphics are beautiful, not busy at all. They are a change from all the cartoon like graphics of other programs. Because this program is made in Europe, the voices do have an English accent(definitely not cockney, having lived in London, I know what cockney sounds like). The songs are funny. My 6 year old had no problem navigating this game. We own another program from this company which my daugter also likes a lot.
Customer Review: Great for studying digestion and nutrition
This game will help bring home how the digestive system works and how the food you eat affects you. It also has some great activities and experiments to try at home (like eating with chopsticks, napkin folding, drinking upside down, counting peas…). The graphics are pleasing and we didn’t run into any programming errors. The game design is simplistic but the kids love it and were able to complete it without aid from us. The age range says 6 and older however kids older than 8 or 9 will not find this game dynamic enough and will become easily put out.
