eSutras Organic Golden Flax Seed-Review

*eSutras Organic Golden Flax Seed

Oh how I love my Flax Seed!  eSutras sent me a bottle of their Organic Golden Flax Seed to try out and I am loving it!  I usually buy my Flax Seed in a bulky bag and I have to say I LOVE the fact that their Golden Flax Seed comes in a easy to use container and it's so easy to just shake some out onto my morning yogurt or one of my breakfast smoothies and then at lunch I just sprinkle some onto my salad or even my sandwich to give it a light nutty flavor.  It's also a great quality product and you simply cannot beat the fact that is Organic and it's just a bonus that it's also inexpensive at just $5.00!

As someone who struggles with inherited high cholesterol I rely on Flax Seed to naturally keep my levels in check.  Here are just a few health benefits of Organic Golden Flax Seed...

• Helps with heart disease and lowering cholesterol. 
• Its high content of alpha linoleic acids has made the ancient flax seed become our modern miracle food. Alpha linoleic acid is a type of omega 3 fatty acid, similar to those found in fish such as salmon.
• Helps in lowering total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) levels. 

Make sure you check out the eSutras Organics website to order your own Organic Golden Flax Seed and to check out all the other amazing Organic products that eSutras has to offer.  I already have a long shopping list started! 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Must Have Monday-bareMinerals Natural Light Face Lifting Duo

Natural Light Face Lifting Duo

I am feeling like things are looking up a little more from last week, it's a new day & a new week!  

Happy Must Have Monday!

As most of you already know I am a bareMinerals fanatic so when I came across this highlighting product from bareMinerals I knew it had to be on my "Must Have" list.  Apparently it's been around for awhile so I am not sure how I am just now seeing it but now that I know about it I simply must have it!  It has great reviews for the actual product but I have also seen a few complaints from people not knowing how to really use it and that the product itself does not come with instructions.  However, the bareMinerals website has these instructions..

• Warmer Back-Lit tone creates a lift effect when applied above brows, on inner and outer eye corners and cheekbones
• Lighter Well-Lit tone diffuses shadows in nose folds, lip corners and lower cheeks

It would be nice to have one of those easy to follow face charts or diagrams that some bareMinerals products come with so I took it upon myself to do a little research.  I could not find any face charts or diagrams, just a couple "How To" articles that I have listed below...

Number One Probiotic-Review

*Number One Nutrition Advanced Probiotic

I am already an advocate of Probiotics and I usually get them by drinking lots of Kombucha or adding Probiotic juice to my morning smoothies so I was excited when  Number One Nutrition sent me a bottle of their Advanced Probiotic Dietary Supplement to test out for them.

I love the simplicity of getting my daily Probiotics by taking a simple veggie capsule vs. drinking a kombucha or probiotic juice.  Being able to take Number One Nutrition Advanced Probiotic Dietary Supplement anywhere and not have to worry about keeping anything refrigerated like you do with Kombucha or other Probiotic juices is a huge benefit for me.  Plus, I already take a pretty wide variety of supplements so adding one more to my regime is really easy for me.

There are a lot of benefits to taking Probiotics on a normal basis and I primarily take them to help support my immune system but I also use Probiotics to help with some of the digestive distress issues that I deal with.

 Number One Advanced Probiotic has other benefits like the ones list below:

- Balance your intestinal flora

- Improve your mood
- Break down allergy causing proteins
- Accelerate your fat loss

- Fight off infections

Go to the Number One Nutrition website & order yourself a bottle and to find out more information on Probiotics or you can also order yourself a bottle of Number One Advanced Probiotic from Amazon.com.

I would love to hear about your experience with Probiotics and why you take them so leave me a comment below...

Thursday Thoughts-Doom & Gloom

Do you ever get in one of those moods where you just feel like nothing in your life is going right and you kinda just want to runaway?  Yeah, me too. :(  I want so bad to be & feel grateful for all the blessings in my life but I just can't seem to shake this feeling of doom & gloom.  

I really do have a lot to be grateful for, good health, husband, kids, family & friends, pets and a roof over my head.  You know the usual stuff.  I also love writing my blog & doing all the fun things that it entails.

I'm just in a weird funk and I am trying desperately to get out of it.  It also doesn't help that I am a "suffer in silence" type".

We are hosting a little gathering at our house this weekend for a friends birthday so I am hoping that will help pull me out of my self-inflicted black hole.  Do you ever get in a funk & find it hard to pull yourself out?  What do you do to help yourself?  I would be open for any suggestions!

HealthyNow Colon Cleanse Detox Plus - Review

*HealthyNow Colon Cleanse Detox Plus

I received a bottle of the Colon Cleanse Detox Plus from HealthyNow and I have been taking it for a few weeks.  I am always up for a good detox and Colon Cleanse Detox Plus has been a mild and effective way to help me clean out my system and help get everything back in balance.  I am a firm believer in doing a detox and I try to do one every few weeks or so.  This detox has even made me feel like I'm not as sluggish and I also feel like I have a little more energy!

Some of the other great benefits of this detox are that it regulates digestion, improves digestive health and improves absorption of nutrients.

You can get more information on Colon Cleanse Detox Plus @ HealthyNowBrands.com & You can purchase Colon Cleanse Detox Plus at Amazon.com.

Must Have Monday - NeriumAD

For my Must Have Monday pick I am choosing the Nerium Age-Defying Treatment!  I am sure most of you in the beauty/skin care community have already heard of this product and to be honest I have actually had this in my skin care arsenal for awhile now but I have been so busy testing other products that this one got pushed to the back of my stockpile.  So, without further ado I am bringing it back into the front lines of my skin care routine and giving it a serious go around.

The peeps at Nerium promise that NeriumAD will dramatically reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, discoloration, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores and aging or loose skin.  That's a lot of promises to keep!  

I actually received my NeriumAD from a girlfriend that is a Brand Partner and sells it.  She uses the entire product line herself and swears by the stuff.  I must admit she looks pretty fantastic although I have read a lot of mixed reviews so I wanted to test it out for myself.  Unfortunately, all the products in the Nerium line come with a pretty hefty price tag so I suggest getting your hands on a free bottle or sample to try before you buy.

Have you tried any of the Nerium products?  If so I would love to hear about your experience so leave me a comment below...  I will follow up with a review once I have been using it for a few weeks so stay tuned!
