AeroShot Energy is a Easy, Quick, Portable, No-Mess, No Calorie Way to Get a Caffeine Fix for an Energy Boost (#cbias)

When you hear the term "pulling an all-nighter," you often think of college students studying. However, running on little to no sleep is something parents do all the time.  I get an average of about 6 hours of sleep per night and, a few times a month, I only get about 3 or 4 hours in one night.  Whether the reason for lack of sleep is being kept awake by a child, catching up on chores, or trying to sneak in some quiet time to read or watch your favorite grown-up show, you already know that tomorrow is going to be a rough day.  How do I get through the next day if I don't have the time to take even a short nap?  Since I don't drink coffee, I get my caffeine fix by drinking caffeinated cola.  Sometimes I may turn to soda up to 3 times per day for an energy boost.  I've lectured myself countless times about the extra caloric and sugar intake.  For busy parents like me, coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers alike, a product like AeroShot Energy would save the day.

AeroShot Energy is a powdered naturally flavored dietary supplement that provides your body with 100mg of caffeine.  It also gives your body 100% of the daily recommended dose of 3 types of B vitamins.  You cannot spill AeroShots like you can coffee.  It does not need to be chilled like an energy drink.  It does not leave crumbs behind like energy bars.  AeroShots are convenient, portable, and discreet.

Since AeroShot Energy is a fairly new product, it may not be available everywhere yet.  You can check for a retailer near you by entering your zip code at www.aeroshots.com.  I found that most CVS stores in my area carried this product, along with one or two convenience stores.  I suppose I'm not surprised that Boston may have been deemed as a highly populated area of sleep-deprived people.

AeroShots come in naturally flavored Raspberry, Green Apple, and Energy Lime. When I shopped for AeroShot Energy at one of my local CVS stores, I only found the Raspberry variety, which does not surprise me since the stores may be testing out one slot on their shelves for this new product.  If there is not yet a retailer near you, you can order AeroShots online at CVS.com or AeroShots.com.
The ingredients in AeroShot Energy are Natural Flavoring, Monk Fruit Extract (Siraitia Grosvenorii), Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, and Sucralose.  Having few ingredients is a huge plus.  The numerous ingredients (many of which cannot be pronounced) in some energy products are a little off-putting.  This product is also a no-calorie sugar-free product.


Using AeroShot Energy is as easy as 1, 2, 3 . . . 


Although my husband does not use energy boosters daily (if you don't count coffee), he has turned to energy drinks and energy bars many times before, especially when he has a long drive in front of him.  To use the AeroShot, he only had to pull the dispenser open, place it in his mouth, and draw in and swallow some of the powder.  Even though there is only one serving per dispenser, you can draw in powder 4 to 6 times.  If you require less to get your energy boost, then you can save the remaining powder to use at another time.

My husband is 6' tall and weighs about 240lbs.  After taking 4 draws over a half an hour, he clearly felt the energy boost.  It took about 25 to 30 minutes from his first draw to start feeling the effects fully, whereas it usually takes him 45 minutes to an hour to feel an energy drink start to work.  He did feel his heart rate increase slightly.  You should not use this product before consulting a doctor if you are sensitive to caffeine or are taking any medications.  Be sure to read the short list of warnings on the back of the package.

As far as the taste goes, my husband described the flavor of the Raspberry AeroShots to be similar to that of a powdered Sweet Tart.  He said the taste was strong and also reminded him of how an artificial sweetener might taste.

This product is perfect for any adult who is busy and could use an energy boost now and then, such as the busy parent, the college student, or the work-a-holic.  AeroShots are perfect for keeping in your handbag, backpack, or jacket pocket.  It needs to be stored in a cool place, otherwise it would be the perfect thing for my husband to keep in the glove compartment of his car.  I recommend your keeping the dispenser sealed in the package until you intend to use.  If you shake the dispenser, a small amount of powder may escape.

To learn more about AeroShot Energy products, visit www.aeroshots.com, AeroShots on Facebook, and on Twitter.  This product retails for $2.99 and you can find your nearest retailer here.  Currently, you can use this printable manufacturer's coupon for Buy 1 Get 1 Free at your local CVS or convenience store.  You can also order online from the AeroShots Shop or from CVS.com.

Keeping Our Family's Allergies Under Control with the Help of #MyAllerGenius, Allegra, and CVS


I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias® and ALLEGRA® #cbias #SocialFabric #MyAllerGenius.  All opinions expressed are my own.

My husband and I both suffer from allergies year-round, but the symptoms are especially severe during the Spring and Summer months due to the high pollen count.  Unfortunately, our 6 year old daughter and her 9 year old big brother also suffer from allergies.  My husband and our son usually display the typical hay fever symptoms, such as sneezing and sinus pressure.  Our daughter and I, however, will develop a chronic cough that will last for weeks.  I think it has to do with our throats constricting combined with post-nasal drip.  It is such a miserable experience to constantly be coughing, having other people wondering silently if you have something that's contagious, being kept awake at night due to violent coughing, and just having our normal everyday activities (indoor or out) be brought to a complete halt because we start coughing uncontrollably.

I know how these allergy-induced coughs have affected my daily life and I am starting to see how it is affecting our daughters.  Although she does not have asthma-like symptoms like I do yet, I want her to be able to enjoy everyday activities without the inconvenience and discomfort of a cough.  Some activities, such as studying taekwondo, require a lot of focus and this is extremely difficult while coughing.  Also, coughing continually for weeks really takes a toll on our bodies, making us feel tired and run-down.  That is why I wanted to try the Allegra products for children on her, since she is now old enough to use the disintegrating tablets.

In addition to trying Allegra, I signed up for pollen reports on www.myallergenius.com.  You can actually go to this site anytime to check your area's pollen count, but having the report emailed or texted to you automatically is much more convenient if you're a busy parent like me.  With these reports, I can plan ahead in regards to spending time outside or even opening the windows.  We all love the fresh air, but the allergens that come in with it are just too much sometimes.

This is what the pollen report sent via email looks like . . .

If you are considering trying Allegra for yourself or for your family members, the month of May is the time to do it.  CVS is running an exclusive sale on Allegra products for adults and for children through May 31st.  They are offering $6 off the 45ct Allegra and both the liquid and tablet form of Children's Allegra are on promotion for just $9.99 each with your CVS Extra Care Card.  In addition to this, you can print coupons to save an extra $4 off Allegra (30ct or larger) and $2 off the Children's Allegra at CVS by visiting www.myallergenius.com.

We took advantage of these extra savings and printed our coupon before we shopped at CVS.  You should be able to find the Allegra products on a prominent end cap near the pharmacy and also in the cold and allergy relief aisle.  We noticed that the Children's Allegra tablets were short in supply at our store, so I'm glad they still had a few boxes left.

We will be testing out the Children's Allegra on two of our children.  With the help of the pollen reports, we may be able to stop their symptoms before they get too severe by giving them a dose of Allegra on the mornings when the pollen count is especially high.

Learn more about Allegra products by joining in on the Twitter Party on Tuesday, May 14th at 1pm EST.  You can RSVP here.  Also visit www.myallergenius.com for tips on managing your allergies, as well as beauty tips for those suffering from allergies.
