Premium Turmeric Supplement-Review

*Nutraviva Turmeric Curcumin Complex with Bioperine

For awhile now I have been wanting to add Turmeric to my supplement inventory for the long list of health benefits is has.  So, naturally I was excited when Nutraviva sent me a complimentary bottle of their Turmeric with a patented blend of Curcumin C3 Complex with Bioperine.

Turmeric has so many health benefits it's one of those supplements that almost everyone could benefit from.  It's the perfect anti-oxidant and helps maintain healthy cells.  I love it for the skin care benefits such as helping reduce wrinkles, acne and oily skin.  However, one of the other great benefits I have noticed since I have been taking it for the last several weeks is that it has helped reduce my neck and back pain and in turn also helped reduce the number of headaches I usually get.  Sounds pretty amazing right?  You can order your Nutraviva Turmeric Curcumin Complex with Bioperine on Amazon.com for on sale for only $23.99, plus they have a 100 day full money back guarantee so you have nothing to loose and all these great health benefits to gain!

Check out www.Nutraviva.com for more information.

Thursday Thoughts

Sometimes you just need a good laugh, am I right?  Life has still been a little crazy lately and I feel myself craving some fun and laughter.  After all, laughter is the best medicine!  I am talking the laugh so hard you cry kind of laughter.  I think I will start with a good comedy for movie night tomorrow and then maybe plan a girls weekend for the not so distant future.  Sometimes you have to create moments where there could be an opportunity for fun & laughter.  A day should be filled with those kind of moments!

EmFACEize-Review

Protoege Beauty was nice enough to send me some of their *Emfaceize face cream to test out for them and it's been my little secret weapon lately.

I have done a few at home TCA facial peels over the last month or so and I have been using the Emfaceize cream to help soothe, soften and restore my skin.  For anyone who has ever done a facial peel you know how bad your skin dries out and flakes off (not very attractive I might add) and being able to use this face cream helped speed up my healing process immensely.  Emfaceize kept my skin moisturized and hydrated all day long even with it being dried out from the peel.  

Now that my skin has gone back to "normal" I am still using the cream and loving the results.  I have very oily skin naturally so I was a little worried about my skin feeling greasy like it does with other moisturizing creams but I put it on after I use my serum in the morning and it quickly absorbs into my skin leaving it soft and smooth, not greasy at all.  Regular use is suppose to make your skin appear younger, fresher and more translucent so of course I will keep using it!

Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes Ebook-Review

Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes

Ebookpro sent me this Vegetarian ebook, *Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes to do a review and I loved how super easy the recipes are, plus it's only $3.49 on Amazon so what's not to love?

You must know that I am not a Vegetarian, at least not yet, I'm trying to get over my affinity for bacon (insert pic of poor helpless pig here).  I have actually been more interested in becoming a Pescetarian (no that is not a religion, lol).  A Pescetarian only eats fish or other seafood but not the flesh of other animals.  In the meantime, I try to choose foods that are healthy for me & my family and we also eat organic whenever possible.

With Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes the recipes are really easy and they also don't consist of a ton of ingredients and they are all ingredients that you most likely have on hand. Quick & easy is a HUGE must for our household but I like I said I also like to try and keep meals as healthy as possible and you can really do that with these recipes.  I made the Cheesy Quesadillas the other night because we are still moving into our new place and time is not something we have a lot of right now and the recipe called for chili flakes and I would have never thought of adding chili flakes to a Quesadilla.  Of course, I only put a few on mine since I can't handle the heat like the rest of my family but it was the perfect amount to add just a little "kick".  Plus, super quick & easy!  (My intention was to take a pic of the masterpiece but by the time I remembered we had eaten them all!)

The author, Jonathan Vine, also provides some great info on what it means to be a Vegetarian and even some tips on how to get organized and actually find time to cook for yourself and your family.

Go to Amazon.com and check it out for yourself!  By the way, I think it would make a great cookbook to get your kids and/or teenagers interested in cooking!
