100% Pure Organic Jojoba Oil by Foxbrim



Jojoba Oil is one of those oils that you see as an added ingredient in a lot of skincare & hair care products and for good reason.  It's known for it's great "balancing properties" which makes it a perfect for use in skincare products because it can effectively balance human oil production by signaling to your body if more is needed or by supplying ample moisture.  It can be used by itself as a cleanser, makeup remover or a moisturizer for your face and the rest of your body.  It also works great as a treatment for signs of aging, acne, psoriasis and eczema.  Jojoba Oil works wonders on the hair and can be used as a deep conditioner.
This Organic Jojoba Oil from Foxbrim is exceptional quality.  I have very oily skin and I have been using it as a makeup remover, pre-cleanse wash and as a moisturizer and I've been loving the results.  It definitely leaves my skin well balanced, soft and hydrated.  The Jojoba Oil is lightweight and absorbs quickly when used as a moisturizer.  I have also been using it to treat my split-ends and help smooth out flyaways!
Foxbrim only uses premium all-natural and organic ingredients which is why I am a huge fan of their company and their products.  I have loved every product I have ever tried and I proudly stand behind them and their fantastic products!  Check their website for a complete list of all their natural & organic products.  You can also purchase the 100% Pure Organic Jojoba Oil by Foxbrim on Amazon.com...

Fitness Friday-21 Day Fix & Tone It Up


Happy Fitness Friday!  
I am finally getting back on track after being sick for what seemed like EVER and my girlfriend and I decided to do the "21 Day Fix" to get back in the swing of things.  Naturally, I consulted Pinterest and started a "21 Day Fix" board so I will continue grow that board as I find valuable and relevant pins.  I found a few really good pins from healthyrevenge.com (see above) so that's a really great website to check out if you are interested!
Also, I did a blog post awhile ago..."Using Pinterest To Stay In Shape" and then I have a "Food" board which I use it to pin healthy recipes that help me stay on track too.  (Beware...there are also some not-so-healthy recipes on my Food board!).

I am also really excited that Tone It Up started their Bikini Series so I signed up for that as well and they just released a new workout video, The Mermaid Workout so make you check that out too...




Are you getting back on track and getting ready for Summer too?  What is your go-to Fitness & Weight Loss plan?  I would love to hear about it so leave me a comment below...

Caralluma Fimbriata by JUVA Naturals-Review



Caralluma Fimbriata is one of those supplements that I use on a fairly regular basis.  This Caralluma Fimbriata is from JUVA Naturals and is 100% Natural does not contain binders or fillers or Caffeine so there are no jitters or shakiness.
Caralluma Fimbriata is a succulent plant that has been used for centuries in India as a portable food while hunting due to its very effective appetite suppressing properties.  Those properties are what makes the Caralluma Fimbriata so effective when you are trying to watch your weight or loose a few pounds.
I have great results with Caralluma Fimbriata, it really helps with my mid-afternoon cravings which for me are when I want something that I really shouldn't have and don't need.  If you need a little help with weight management totally recommend Caralluma Fimbriata!

Beautyology's Anti-Aging Face Cream-Review



I have really been putting my skin through the ringer lately with all the products I have been testing out so I thought I would try out this particular Anti-Aging Face Cream by Beautyology on my decollete and on the back of my hands.  Since I tend to have oily skin I have to be really careful about what I put on my face.  However, this cream is recommended for ALL skin types!
The first thing I have to say that I love about this face cream is that it is Paraben Free!  Besides the fact that Parabens are really bad for your skin I have really been trying to go the natural route when it comes to my skincare and makeup I have learned the hard way that Parabens and my skin do not mix!  The other thing that I love about this face cream is the nice, light mint scent and the cooling sensation when it's applied, it's super refreshing.
Even though this is a face cream and you might expect it to be thick but it wasn't thick at all it's non-greasy, absorbs almost immediately and leaves your skin feeling refreshed, soft and smooth.  My not only felt more smooth it also looked more smooth and firm.
Overall, I am really impressed with this Beautyology's Anti-Aging Face Cream and think it would make a great choice for anyone in need of a anti-aging moisturizer!

Nutraplex Pineapple Coconut Bar-Review.



Here is another great nutritional bar option from Nutraplex!  This one is the Pineapple Coconut flavor and since some of my favorite flavors are Pineapple and Coconut I would say this one is my flavor of choice!

Abiding Youth Vitamin C Serum-Review



By now most of you should be using a Vitamin C Serum as part of your everyday skincare routine and I have been lucky enough to review and recommend quite a few options here on my blog.
Vitamin C Serum is a really important step in any skincare routine because it will help fade fine lines & wrinkles, age spots, sun spots and other skin pigmentations, including pesky Melasma.  It will also give you a more even skin tone and help provide a natural glow!
When choosing a Vitamin C Serum just make sure you check the ingredients and that it only contains all natural and/or organic ingredients like this one from Abiding Youth.  The Vitamin C Serum from Abiding Youth contains 98% Natural and 72% Organic ingredients, is cruelty free and does not contain alcohol, parabens or sulfates.  That makes for the perfect Vitamin C Serum!
The serum is really lightweight and absorbs quickly so you can use it in both your morning and evening skincare routines without worrying about it being to heavy under your makeup.
You can pick up this awesome Natural & Organic Vitamin C Serum on Amazon.com...

Silicone Beverage Glasses by Ramini Brands-Review



Why did it take so long for someone to come out with these?  These have got to be one of the best inventions...maybe ever!  Not only are these Silicone Beverage Glasses perfect for home use, especially when you have a house full of guests and want to avoid a broken glass incident, but these are really perfect for camping and BBQ's!  I haven't had a chance to go camping yet and it's been a little too cold still to host a BBQ so I am anxiously awaiting being able to do either one and show off these cool glasses.  We also float the river a lot where I live and I think it would be fun to take them river floating too.  Ohh the possibilities!
The Silicone Beverage Glasses are stain-resistant, dishwasher safe and are BPA free!  At 11 oz. it's also the perfect size to hold my favorite cocktail.  Don't you think these would also make a really cool gift idea?  That's what I'm thinking!
You can get these on Amazon.com right now, perfect timing for that spring BBQ or camping trip!

100% Pure Argan Oil by Radha Beauty-Review



In case you are new to GlamRiver you should know that I LOVE Argan Oil.  It really is one of the best all-around oils that can be used from head to toe.  Yes, it can even be used on your face!  As an oily-skinned girl I can tell you that it works wonders on my oily skin and in spite of what you might think it does not leave your skin oily at all, it absorbs completely leaving my skin super soft and well hydrated.
I have trying out this Argan Oil that Radha Beauty sent me and since I have recently become a fan of Radha Beauty products I already knew I was going to love their Argan Oil.  If you have not tried Argan Oil yet you simply must get your hands on some ASAP!  It is one of the best natural moisturizers for skin and like I said you can use it from head to toe.  It hydrates and softens dry skin, it also repairs and beautifies hair and strengthens brittle, cracked, nails and softens cuticles.


I also love the gorgeous blue bottle that the Argan Oil by Radha Beauty. I am sucker for packaging and Radha Beauty not only knows how to create a great product but they also create some awesome packaging! Check out Radhabeautyproducts.com for a complete line up of all their products and you can also find them on Amazon.com...

Organic Dandelion Root Tea by KissMe Organics-Review



I love my tea!  I drink just about every kind of tea and I love to try new tea's whenever I get the chance.   KissMe Organics is brand I have come to know and trust so I jumped at the chance to try out their new Organic Dandelion Root Tea!  I have been hearing a lot about Dandelion Root lately so I wanted to find out what some of the benefits were and what I found was that it helps support Kidney health & Liver function, aids digestion, it's rich in Vitamins A, C, D and B-complex plus Iron, Potassium and Zinc, helps reduce inflammation and even helps boosts the immune system...among other things!  Who knew it could do so much!
The Organic Dandelion Root Tea has a really yummy cinnamon smell and smooth taste to it.  It also contains Organic Hibiscus which is good for regulating blood pressure and you can also smell a hint of that as well.  It actually has a smell and taste similar to another Detox tea that I like so I am happy that I now have 2 go-to Detox teas!


The other really great thing about this tea is not only is it Organic but it is also Non-GMO and Vegan!  I also recommend the Organic Matcha by KissMe Organics.  You can pick up some Organic Dandelion Root Tea on Amazon.com...
