Monday Must Have-bareMinerals Blemish Remedy Acne-Clearing Foundation

bareMinerals Blemish Remedy Acne-Clearing Foundation

Even though I don't have acne at 41 years old I do have very oily skin and I still get the occasional blemish, especially with all the products that I test out.  If you read my blog then you already know that I have a small addiction to all things bareMinerals.  

I already use the bareMinerals Matte Foundation & bareMinerals Mineral Veil (sometimes I use the It Cosmetics Anti-Aging Celebration Foundation as well).  So, of course I am dying to try out this new bareMinerals Blemish Remedy Acne-Clearing Foundation.  Even though I don't have acne I still love the benefits this foundation has to offer.  It's a lightweight, non-drying makeup that blends seamlessly for buildable, natural-looking coverage that you can feel comfortable wearing all day long.  It's formulated with Salicylic Acid so it treats blemishes, reduces the appearance of redness and pores, and helps to prevent new blemishes from forming.  What's not too love?  I also figure I can mix it in with my regular bareMinerals Matte Foundation.  So, this just has to go on my must have list!

Garcinia Cambogia-Review

Garcinia Cambogia by Sonora Nutrition

Here is another awesome Garcinia Cambogia supplement by Sonora Nutrition that I have been trying out!  As most of you already know, I use Garcinia Cambogia because it really does help me with appetite control and has helped me maintain my weight while I have been off the workout wagon (it seems to work even better when you actually work out!).  As with all the supplements I take this one is 100% pure, has no fillers, binders, or artificial ingredients.  It also has Potassium, Calcium, and Chromium for maximum absorption and efficacy.

 Revolutionary research has shown that Garcinia Cambogia provides the following benefits:

- Increases weight loss by 2 to 3 times what a person would lose with just diet and exercise alone
- Blocks fat production and turns fat into glycogen, which helps burn fat.
- Suppresses appetite and curbs cravings. 
- Increase lean muscle mass.
- Increases serotonin, leading to less emotional eating, improved mood, and better sleep.
- Reduces cortisol, the stress hormone, leading to decreased belly fat.
- Decreases bad cholesterol and promotes healthy cholesterol. 
- No side effects.

If you have been wanting a little help loosing weight or maintaining your weight like me then Garcinia Cambogia is what you have been looking for!  You can get more information or purchase the Garcinia Cambogia from Amazon.com.

Barefaced Dead Sea Mud Mask-Review

Barefaced Dead Sea Mud Mask

I have to admit that I have a small addiction to masks of all kinds.  I usually have a stock-pile of about 15 different masks on hand at all times and for just about every issue you can imagine.  There is just something about a mask that leaves you feeling like you did something good for yourself.  So, imagine my excitement when Barefaced sent me some of their Dead Sea Mud Mask to test out for them!

Barefaced Dead Sea Mud Mask is proven to naturally improve the appearance & feel of skin and it's made with all all natural and organic ingredients and no parabens.  This awesome mud mask tones, tightens and improves skin texture, exfoliates, unclogs and purifies pores, helps get rid of your blackheads and other imperfections, draws out unseen excess oils and impurities and it also moisturizes and stimulates skin collagen to help fight wrinkles!  Seriously, all that goodness comes from this little jar of green heaven.

The Barefaced Dead Sea Mud Mask looks, feels and even smells the way I think a really good, authentic mud mask should.  The mask is green & really thick and feels like it has a bit of grit in it and you just know that it's going to do a great job at exfoliating as you take the dried mask off.  It smells a little muddy with some hints of eucalyptus, which is exactly how I think an organic, all natural mud mask should smell.  Once you apply the mask to your face you can actually feel it working & drawing out all the nasty bits from your pores.  When you take it off, your skin feels so soft & smooth, amazing!  I LOVE this stuff!

If you love a good mud mask too then you simply must try Barefaced Dead Sea Mud Mask and see the results for yourself!  Check out Barefaced Dead Sea Mud Mask on barefacedskincare.com and at Amazon.com.

Xium Garcinia Cambogia-Review

*Garcinia Cambogia

I have been trying out several different brands of Garcinia Cambogia lately and Xium sent me some of their Garcinia Cambogia to test out for them.  If you read my blog you already know I take Garcinia Cambogia on a regular basis and and how it has helped me not only loose a few pounds but it's also makes it easier for me to maintain my weight.  Xium Garcinia Cambogia doesn't just help with weight it also has some other great benefits like lowering cholesterol, decreasing appetite, and boosting serotonin levels. 

As with all of the supplements that I take Xium Garcinia Cambogia doesn't contain any binders, fillers or any other artificial ingredients.

The secret ingredient that makes Garcinia Cambogia work so well is the HCA extract from garcinia cambogia supplement aids in weight loss by doing two things: It helps to block fat, and it suppresses your appetite.  HCA blocks fat by inhibiting a key enzyme that your body needs to make fat from carbohydrates: Citrate lyase.  Usually carbohydrates or sugars that are not used immediately or stored in other forms are converted into fats.  When HCA inhibits citrate lyase, the fat-making process is halted and the production of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides decrease.

Thursday Thoughts-Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary

20 years ago I married my best friend.  I am super blessed and thankful that I have such an amazing man!  I am not going to lie and say it's been 20 years of pure bliss, we have had our good & bad times but thankfully, there has been way more good than bad and we have had pretty amazing life so far!

So, after 20 years of marriage I feel like I am in the position to give a little advice to those of you who are getting married or maybe going through a rough patch in your marriage or relationship.  First, the key to a any great relationship is to not have expectations.  If you have expectations of any kind your just setting your relationship up for failure.  Second, (and I can't say this enough) COMPROMISE!  You have to be willing to make compromises...all the time.  Third, make sure you marry your best friend!  When you establish a relationship based on friendship first it sets the foundation on which to build a long lasting relationship.

So, there you have it!  May you all be as blessed as I have been...

The Amazing Miracle Cleanse-Review

*The Amazing Miracle Cleanse Natural Detox

If you read my blog then you already know that I am a fan of doing a cleanse on a regular basis (pun intended).  So, when Green Tree Life Sciences sent me their Miracle Cleanse Natural Detox to test out for them I was interested to see how this one would compare to other ones that I have tried.

There are so many benefits to doing a cleanse.  The main reasons why I like to do a cleanse/detox are for increased energy, help with weight loss and even some skin issues tend to clear up after a cleanse.  A cleanse/detox will also help your body absorb much needed vitamins and nutrients, make the digestive system more effective, help promote healthy bacteria levels in the intestinal tract and of course it helps maintains regularity and prevents constipation.

After using the Amazing Miracle Cleanse Natural Detox for 2 weeks I am really happy with the results.  This product is safe, gentle yet very effective with none of the unpleasant side effects that can accompany most cleanses.  I love a product that does exactly what is says it does!  The Amazing Miracle Cleanse Natural Detox will now have a permanent place in my cupboard, that is how much I like this product!

If you have been wanting to do a cleanse this would be a great product to try.  My only recommendation is that you read the instructions and do not take more than the recommended 2 caps a day (this is for all of you that think more is better, lol).  To get more information on the Amazing Miracle Cleanse Natural Detox and to purchase it go to Amazon.com.

PhantomFit Resistance Loop Bands-Review

*PhantomFit Resistance Loop Bands

Need help with your workout?  Try these cool PhantomFit Resistance Loop Bands! PhantomFit was nice enough to send me a pack of their Resistance Loop Bands to test out and I have been testing them out like a crazy woman.  

Talk about perfect timing, these bands helped motivate me & help me get back on the workout wagon that I had fallen off for various reasons but most of them are just excuses.  I have some serious back & neck issues so working out with the Resistance Loop Bands is perfect for me because it's low impact and I am far less likely to injure or re-injure myself than I would if I was using traditional equipment.  I was even able to incorporate the bands into my Barre3 workouts!  I have to say, one of my favorite things about these bands is that you can get your workout in while watching your favorite T.V. show, trust me, if I can find an excuse not to work out I will find it so I need all the help I can get to eliminate every possible excuse!
I also love that you can also take these little bad boys anywhere with you, they even come with a handy little bag to store them in.  Since you can take them anywhere with you there really is no excuse not to be able to squeeze in a quick workout where ever your travels may take you.  

The PhantomFit Resistance Loop Bands are super lightweight and they are made out of  durable latex that is snap resistant.  PhantomFit also guarantees the quality and if it snaps, they will send you a replacement!  Check out the PhantomFit.com for more information and Amazon.com to purchase the Resistance Loop Bands.
