Triphala Cleanse by Healthnex Supplements-Review

*Triphala Cleanse by Healthnex Supplements

Here is a cleanse that I had never heard of before and was curious to try.  Healthnex Supplements sent me their Triphala Cleanse a few weeks ago to test out and since I had never heard of Triphala before I was interested to see how it compared to other cleanses that I have tried.

Naturally, I had to do a little research about Triphala and found out that it has been used in Ayurcedic Medicine for hundreds of years to treat all kinds of digestive problems.  In addition, Triphala is actually a blend of the 3 Indian Ayurvedic herbs, Amalaki, Bibhitaki and Haritaki.  The Amalaki is an anti oxidant which helps get rid of any inflammation in your body, especially in the digestive tract and increasing lean body mass as well as helping you control your blood sugar.  Bibhitaki gets rid of all the extra fat and water in your cells.  Finally, Haritaki helps get rid of any toxins in your colon.

I liked that this cleanse was really easy to do since you just take 2 of the capsules before bed and there are no uncomfortable side effects.  Since I do cleanses on a regular basis I didn't notice any significant weight loss but I did feel like it helped with my cravings so that's a bonus!

Fitness Friday-Using Pinterest to Stay in Shape!

I must say I am a bit of a Pinterest addict!  It has got to be one of the best inventions ever, next to the Internet, email and Post-It notes!

I use Pinterest to save recipes, skin care/makeup articles & products, blog ideas, home decor and a handful of other things but one of my favorite ways to utilize Pinterest is to save fitness & workout articles, videos and challenges.  

Any workout or challenge that I want to try I simply save to my "Fitness" Pinterest board.  It is such a great way to keep my workouts fresh and new.  I add new workouts almost daily so if you are looking for ways to stay in shape and stay motivated make sure you follow GlamRiver on Pinterest or you can also just follow my Fitness Board!  (I also pin a lot of healthy recipes to my Food board so that would be another good one to follow!)

*14 Day Detox Tea by Hint Wellness

So, if you follow my blog then you already know that I love a good a Detox!  I have read all the articles that say Detoxing doesn't really work but I know how much better I feel after I do a Detox.  Maybe it's a placebo effect but I don't think so!  

I loved this 14 Day Detox Tea that Hint Wellness sent me to review for them!  Not only did it taste great but I really felt better after I completed the Detox.  This tea aids in digestion, bloating and helps purify your system and rids the body of toxins that can build up over time.  It can also help shed a few pounds, especially if you haven't done a Detox before or in a long while.

While I am doing a Detox I also eat as clean as possible, which for me means no processed foods and eating as much raw and organic foods as possible.
Ready for a Detox?  What's 14 days?
You can do it!!

Natural Zest Ultimate Magnesium-Review

*Natural Zest Ultimate Magnesium

Magnesium has been one of those supplements that I take on a regular basis.  I take it to help relive muscle pain and tightness and to help me sleep.  However, Magnesium can help with a lot of other issues like Restless Leg Syndrome, Migraine Headaches, fibromyalgia, heart palpitations or even High Blood Pressure.  Magnesium is also found in bones, teeth, and red blood cells and is an essential element required for proper functioning of the nervous, muscular and cardiovascular systems, this critical mineral is actually responsible for over 300 enzyme reactions.

I have tried a few other Magnesium supplements, however, this Ultimate Magnesium by Natural Zest is superior quality because it's made with high-quality ingredients and is manufactured under strict GMP conditions in an FDA-approved facility right here in the USA.  This is definitely a supplement that I recommend!

Detangling & Styling Hair Brushes with Cosmetics Bag by Hair Symphony-Review

*Detangling & Styling Hair Brushes with Cosmetics Bag by Hair Symphony

Until recently I didn't realize how important a good hair brush was.  It's also didn't realize I was brushing my hair wrong!  Who knew!  I just went about brushing my hair haphazardly and didn't know that you should always start at the ends of your hair to work out any knots and then work your way up.  This keeps your hair from breaking and splitting.  Please tell me I am not the only one who didn't know this?  

Hair Symphony sent me this really cool Detangling and Styling Brush Set along with a Cosmetics Bag to review for them and I have been loving it.  The Detangling Brush is perfect to use on my hair right when I get out of the shower and I am careful to brush it from the ends working my way up and it detangles my hair really easily.  The Styling Brush is the perfect brush to use while I blow-dry my hair because it glides through the natural flow of my hair easily brushing through any remaining tangles without damaging my hair.
