How Livliga fits into Your De-stressed and De-cluttered Lifestyle

More and more we are all looking for ways to simplify our lives. We have discovered the “stuff” complicates our lives and adds to our stress. It also compresses our breath and cramps our sense of space.

Recently I was speaking to a customer who wanted to share with me why she loves our LivSpoons. Quite simply it is because they de-stress and de-clutter her life. Here is what she shared with me.

Wendy Tanz loves our LivSpoons because they allow her to down-size and get rid of the clutter. They serve more than one purpose so when choosing items to keep it was easy to put these special spoons on the priority list.

She went on to share that she loves the LivSpoons because they are a work of art that can simply be placed on the countertop to store until needed. She also likes them because they are perfect for measuring when cooking or baking since each of the six spoons is a specific measurement. She really thinks the set is fantastic because it includes measurements that not all other measuring cup sets include…like the ⅛ cup. And if all those good reasons weren’t enough she relishes using them for portioning her meals. She can use the perfect size for each type of food she is serving, making a perfectly portioned balanced meal every time. And to keep her countertops clean she adores that each spoon can hook on a bowl or pot right side up or upside between measuring, serving, and cleaning up each meal.

No matter your stage of life or lifestyle preference, LivSpoons can make your life de-stressed and de-cluttered because of their multi-use design. Take it from a long-time pro, Wendy!

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST SET!

August 25, 2019

Reviewer: Wendy from Los Altos, CA United States

I love these! This 2 piece completes my set from last year. They measure, serve, stir, rest reliably on the edge of my pans. The top quality stainless steel means no pitting, bending, cracking nor holding odors. Easy to wash. Dishwasher safe. I use the 1/8 cup to make melon balls. I could store my nesting spoons in a drawer but WHY when they look like art on my counter?

Just Right Set	May 29, 2019
Reviewer: Annamarie D. from Turnersville, NJ United States

I agree with all the other reviews!  I too was researching for the best tool to help my husband after his surgery and this met and surpassed my expectations!  Easy and helpful to use and no need to use many measuring cups etc  it's all there and well made and attractive.  It has been over one year now and I am still using this.  I did purchase plastic rings but never used them I have only needed to use this set. Anyone considering to lose weight or have bariatric surgery I recommend getting the Just Right Set.


We are truly grateful to all of our customers! Thank you.

How Livliga Got Featured in Six Books

Adventures of a Healthy Lifestyle Start-Up: How Livliga Got Featured in Six Books

Livilga is so fortunate to be featured and positively mentioned in a number of books related to health and wellness as well as entrepreneurship.  We are very honored that this has happened. In just the few years we have been building our brand and offering our product we have been mentioned in 6 such books. Remarkably, three of those books have been published just in the first half of 2019!

A number of people have asked me how this happened. Honestly, this is nothing we sought out or had any control over.  If there is one thing that I could look back at and say had an influence on our being considered is my being responsive when people made inquires about our product, asked us for samples for consideration, or even requested information about the company. I always made sure I made time to respond.

You never know where a chance introduction or networking opportunity will lead. That is certainly the case with Livliga. The partnerships we have developed and the relationships with professionals in the field we have had the opportunity to nurture have caused our product to be considered relevant in a number of ways. These touchpoints have allowed experts in the health and wellness world to understand the benefits and pertinence of Livliga to their constituents. To be mentioned and featured in such far-ranging books as The Pocket Carbohydrate Counter Guide for Diabetes, Finally Full Finally Slim and The Diabetes Cookbook for Electric Pressure Cookers is a testament to the relevance of our product for people needing and wanting to live a healthy lifestyle whether they are focusing on weight management, are living with a health condition, or want to maximize their quality of life.

When the Grommet first introduced themselves to us they told us they were looking for products that were “disruptive,” meaning that the product would cause someone to see something differently or do something differently. They saw our product as meeting both those criteria. What our product asks someone to do is to change his or her behavior around food. We are a paradigm shifter. A few years later we are proud that the two books the founders of the Grommet have written—Makers Who Made It and How We Make Stuff Now—have both included Livliga’s story. Another book on entrepreneurship that included Livliga is called Main Street Entrepreneur by Michael Glauser. We have always welcomed the opportunity to share our story in hopes that it will be relevant and can help other entrepreneurs and their start-ups succeed.

Being mentioned and featured by others is not only flattering, it is validating. To be a young company that has been discovered and showcased as having been innovative, disruptive, and helpful to others, is not only gratifying but also motivating. We want to live up to the belief others have in us! It also allows those interested in our product to hear from professionals and experts about what we make and why they recommend it. This helps us grow and reach those who can benefit from our line of healthy lifestyle products.

Having been mentioned in so many books is an unexpected honor and benefit to our business. Networking with others and looking for ways to partner may help people discover and mention your brand. But first, you need to have a product that stands up to the test: Does it solve a problem? Is it innovative? Is it made well? Do people like it? Without these basics, there will be little interest in having it mentioned by others. We are proud of our product and how it has helped people. We are grateful that others in our industry have recognized what we have to offer and believe in it.

The Adventures of a Healthy Lifestyle Start Up -- Going for Awards

Livliga is fortunate to have been honored with awards. We now have three national awards recognizing different products we have developed.

Our first award was given to our children’s adventure book, Sammie & Sax in the Land of Quinoa: The Search for a Balanced Meal. It received the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award for health issues, 2013 Bronze Medal.

The second recognition we received was for our Aveq Wine Glass. It was acknowledged as a finalist for the 2014 Martha Stewart Made in America contest.

The third accolade Livliga was bestowed was for our LivSpoon® as the 2016 Editor’s Pick for Best New Product from The Gourmet Retailer.

People have asked how we got these awards. 

The reality is that awards don’t find you, you find them. We submitted our product for consideration and were fortunate that our product was picked for recognition.

Why did we decide to seek out awards?

It’s actually very simple. We believed awards could help us with credibility, brand awareness and exposure. When you are a new product that is innovative and paradigm shifting it provides a big boost to get recognized by established experts and institutions.

How important are awards?

In our experience awards have helped us tell our story. They also add a seal of approval. Because our product is science-based and uses psychology in the actual design, giving people a frame work for its credibility and authenticity is very important whether we are working directly with our customers or with the clinicians, dietitians, diabetes educators or bariatric coordinators who are often the gatekeepers of information for their clients.

What kind of awards should you go for?

This totally depends on what type of product you have. No doubt there is an award out there for your product. You just have to find it.

How do you find specific awards and categories?

We did it on the internet. We searched for awards related to children’s books, innovation, design and health. Timing and cost also factor in. Often you have to submit an application within a certain timeframe within which you have launched your product. Sometimes the fees for submitting your application can also seem expensive. Not all are so look for options. Most have nominal entry fees.

How has it helped us?

Each award has introduced us to new communities and new consumers who most likely will be interested in a product like ours. It provides a great way to have a conversation about our products because it adds depth to our company story and about a specific product. And it always helps when we are putting together presentations and proposals. It adds instant credibility and added interest, giving us a leg up and hopefully in to the group or company we want to work with.

Make a wish list.

We still have a wish list. Because our product is unique in its category and is relevant internationally, we want to go for an international design award. As we introduce new product we also plan to explore ways to go for additional recognition. It is not our first priority but it is part of the plan.

We are now approaching our fifth year of selling our first product. Within that time we are proud to say we have received 3 utility patents and 3 national awards for our product. We are grateful and growing and geared up for more!

Guest Blog: Autumn Sauteed Apples

Fall means Apples. While I have always had a hard time with raw apples (they give me a belly-ache), I love cooked ones. Here's my easy-peasy recipe for Sauteed Apples. The recipe also works with pears and bananas.

I use one half apple per person and a few tablespoons of butter - enough to keep the apples from sticking.

For a dessert, I garnish with a dollop of whipped cream flavored with rum (either real rum or rum extract). Naturally, I serve on a Livliga® side plate! However, this can also be used as a side dish for roast pork, turkey or ham. You can sprinkle in some raw cranberries for lovely color and a zing.

1. Peel and cut the apples.
2. Heat your skillet on high.
3. Add the butter and then the apples.
4. Stir/flip the apples around, and let them get a little bit brown/crisp.
5. Stir/flip again and turn the heat down to medium low.
6. Sprinkle with cinnamon (or not) and other spices, one at any time.
7. Keep stirring/flipping every 5 minutes or so until the apples are semi-soft.
8. Plate and garnish with whipped cream.​​​​​​​

I enjoy serving my guests using the Livliga line of products with the built-in portion control. I love that they are designed to support my program of right-sized eating and drinking. Take a peek at what they offer at: livligahome.com.
