*Organic Omega-3 Fish Oil for Dogs and Cats by Simien Pets

Are you a dog or cat person? Maybe your both. I consider myself both but if truth be known deep down I'm a dog person. For the most part, we live to serve cats but dogs really live to serve us. Did you know there some interesting facts about the difference between dog people and cat people? Take a look at this article, The Little Things That Separate and Unite Cat Owners vs Dog Owners and read the fun facts for yourself!
Regardless, I really do love all my furbabies just like they were my children so making sure they are happy and healthy is a priority for me. While I don't buy the most expensive food on the market for them I try to buy something that offers the best ingredients at a reasonable price.

I have also been making a supplement from scratch that contains ingredients like Bone Meal, Vitamin C and Brewers Yeast among other ingredients and I simply mix it in with their wet dog food. The supplement that I make helps with a variety of issues and helps them stay healthy. However, now I have another great supplement to add to the one I make from scratch!

This Organic Omega-3 Fish Oil for Dogs and Cats by Simien Pets is perfect to add to my batch of homemade supplement that I make for my furbabies. Of course, the Organic Omega-3 Fish Oil for Dogs and Cats by Simien Pets is great by itself as well. It contains potent Organic ingredients like

Fish Oil, Algal Oil, Flaxseed Oils, DHA, EPA and ALA. These ingredients help cardiovascular, cognitive and eyesight systems as with as act as an anti-inflammatory as well. The Organic Omega-3 Fish Oil for Dogs will also support healthy skin and a shiny, glossy coat!

Just adding a couple tablespoons of this supplement to their food has great benefits for dogs and cats of all ages but if you have senior dogs or cats this supplement would work wonders for them!
Whether you have dogs, cats or maybe you have both like me they will both benefit from this supplement.

The Organic Omega-3 Fish Oil for Dogs and Cats by Simien Pets sources only the best organic active ingredients and made in the USA, FDA certified, produced in a GMP facility, third party tested for purity and Vet approved!

*100% Pure Forskolin by Valens

Forskolin is a natural chemical compound found in the roots of Coleus forskohlii and I have been taking it off and on for years when I am either trying to loose a few pounds, get fit or even to just help maintain my weight. When I take the recommended weight loss dose of at least 125mg a day I usually get the results I'm after! It's great at helping suppress my appetite (which is the main reason why I like to take it) but it also helps boost my ever slowing metabolism and it also helps break down stored fat! It really helps give my system that little extra kick it needs to help get it in weight loss mode. It's the perfect supplement to add to any fitness, weight loss or maintenance routine.

This 100% Pure Forskolin by Valens is the perfect example of a good quality supplement that I like to recommend to my readers. It's all natural and contains 20% of Pharmaceutical Grade Forskolin.

Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique

*Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique

I'm sure most of you have heard about the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique, unless of course you have been living under a rock! Heck, I feel like I may be the last person to try them out! However, I'm sure that there has got to be someone else out there who hasn't tried them yet so if you are out there this review is for you!

What are Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes? Basically it's a mascara type product that uses fibers to increase lash volume by up to 400%. Yes, 400%! However, it's also formulated to enhance and nourish existing lashes so there's that too so that's just a bonus.

My verdict on the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique? This is an amazing product! I was a bit skeptical but it really does give you amazingly long and full lashes that last all day. Crazy cool! However, practice makes perfect! Even though I found this product really easy to use it does take practice. I found that you really need to follow the directions and using a generous amount of the Transplanting Gel is the answer. The first couple of times I tried the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique I had the tiny little fibers falling off my lashes all day which was a bit annoying. However, apparently this is a common problem that is easily fixed by using a more generous amount of the Transplanting Gel. It's also imperative that you apply the Fibers immediately after applying the Transplanting Gel while it's still wet and reapplying the Transplanting Gel after you apply the Fibers to seal them. The Transplanting Gel is what holds onto the Fibers and seals them in so it's the key step in the application process.

It does take me a few extra minutes to apply the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique and since I am in a rush most morning I tend save the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique look for when I am going out or for other special occasions. However, since it is easy to apply and remove, if you have extra time to spare in the morning and want to rock gorgeous, long and lush lashes I say go for it!

Super cool product! With Christmas just around the corner I think this would make the prefect gift! Especially, if you have someone in your life that share's your love of long and lush lashes.

This awesome little tool hygienically and painlessly removes that hard cracked skin and calluses that we try to hide in the fall and winter months.

Fight Back Pack by LINDI SKIN

*Fight Back Pack by LINDI SKIN

I had never heard of Lindi Skin skincare products before I was sent this Fight Back Pack and now it has become a company near and dear to me.

The Lindi Skin brand was created in 2003 as the first complete skincare line designed specifically for the unique needs of people undergoing cancer treatment. They manufacture and distribute clinically-proven skin care products that soothe and relieve the effects of radiation, chemotherapy, and day-to-day wear resulting from cancer treatments. Their products are intended to help individuals feel better, both physically and emotionally, and gain a greater degree of control over the side effects they experience. They also combine state-of-the-art technology and the latest medical information with innovative ingredients to formulate superior products for a very special group of people.

They sound amazing, am I right? I had someone very near and dear to me pass away from Cancer in September and it was only 4 weeks after the initial diagnosis. It was very heartbreaking and still is. So, that's why this company means much more to me than just a any typical skincare company. They produce amazing products for people going through a traumatic and agonizing time in their life. However, the products are not just for Cancer patients

I was sent the Fight Back Pack by LINDI SKIN to test out which includes sample sizes of their most popular products including: Body Lotion, Body Wash, Citrus Face Serum, Lavender Face Serum, Face Moisturizer, Soothing Balm and Face Wash and they even include a $5 gift card to use towards the purchase of a full size favorite!

Every product was amazing! From the packaging to the actual products themselves. They not only smell amazing (they are lightly scented with citrus or lavender) they also FEEL amazing on the skin. The products are all nourishing leaving skin feeling hydrated, soft and silky! My favorite product is the Soothing Balm, which is formulated for dry, cracked hands and feet. It's highly emollient lotion is perfect for any intensely dehydrated areas of the skin. Even though it's a "balm" it's not greasy at all and it's easily absorbed. I just the love the way my skin feels after using it!

These products are lovely and so is the company! I think I have found a new brand to be obsessed with!

Make sure you check out Lindi Skin for you and your loved ones skincare needs!
