I have slowly been growing my arsenal of fitness & exercise equipment over the last couple of years so I always get excited when I get to add something new.  Cynergy Fitness sent me their Resistance Bands to test out and review for them and they are the perfect addition to my arsenal!  Not only are they a great addition they are also perfect for the kind of work outs that I do.  I used to be into very aerobic types of exercises but now I am all about resistance training and low impact type of work outs, mainly because I have a lot of back and neck issues so the Resistance Bands are perfect for my type of work outs.
The Resistance Bands by Cynergy Fitness include a full set of great quality, stackable bands. The Yellow bands are 2-4 lbs., Green 4-6 lbs., Red 10-12 lbs., Blue 15-20 lbs. and Black 20-30 lbs.  Any band can be used together or one at a time to create multiple levels of resistance, 4 lbs. to 75 lbs.
The Resistance Bands are also perfect to use with CrossFit, P90X or any other resistance programs.  I also love the fact that the bands are designed for mobility and travel.  They are light weight and include a carrying bag which makes it easy to take them anywhere.

  
Cynergy Fitness also offer a money back guarantee!  If you don't love your new Resistance Bands, they will give you 100% refund.

Azure Naturals Ultimate Lime Infused Organic Retinol Moisturizer with 2.5% Retinol-Review



Retinol is one of my favorite skincare ingredients so I was more than a little excited when Azure Naturals sent me their new Ultimate Lime Infused Organic Retinol Moisturizer with 2.5% Retinol to test out and review for them.  Retinol is one of the most effective ingredients for fighting off fine lines & wrinkles and it also works extremely well at improving hyperpigmentation, skin texture and it even increases skin hydration levels.  All that in one little ingredient and at 2.5% you don't even need a prescription to enjoy the benefits!
I like to use the Organic Retinol Moisturizer with 2.5% Retinol as part of my nightly skincare routine.  I apply it to my face, neck, decollete and I've even started to apply it to my shoulders to help get rid of some of the freckles I have accumulated from too much time in the sun!  The moisturizer is really lightweight and it absorbs really quickly into the skin.  I also like to use it with their Ultimate Retinol Anti Wrinkle Serum and double up on the treatment!

Azure Naturals Sweet Orange Infused Vitamin C Organic Facial Toner-Review



This Sweet Orange Infused Vitamin C Organic Facial Toner is just another great product from Azure Naturals!  This toner is the perfect follow up product to the Sweet Orange Infused Vitamin C Organic Facial Cleanser.  I cannot tell you enough how much I love spraying this toner on face, neck & decollete every morning.  The Sweet Orange scent smells so good and the toner feels so refreshing.  Plus, it has all the usual great benefits that Vitamin C offers like, boosting the production of collagen, improves cellular turnover, refines skin's texture, plumps and firms your skin and helps diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.
(Tip: I also like to use it as a makeup setting spray!)
