Milk Thistle Extract by Vita Pure

*Milk Thistle Extract by Vita Pure

Vita Pure was nice enough to send me their Milk Thistle to review for them and while I can't visually see or feel any difference I really like the idea of doing a liver detox/cleanse every few months.  So, I have decided that this will now be a staple in my supplement arsenal and every few months I will do a round of it.
Your liver is such an important part of staying healthy and even though I am not a heavy drinker (despite what you all think, lol) and I eat healthy foods a good liver detox/cleanse is something that I feel like I would really benefit from.  Plus, Milk Thistle is a great antioxidant too, it's even more powerful than either Vitamin E or Vitamin C!

Forskolin by Natural Lane-Review

*Forskolin by Natural Lane

Here is another great supplement to add to your arsenal!  Natural Lane sent me their Forskolin awhile ago and I have been testing it out ever since.  I definitely feel like I have had more energy since I started taking the Forskolin and that to me is a HUGE benefit!
What makes Forskolin such a great supplement to add to your arsenal is its ability to help people boost their metabolism, but there are many lesser known benefits such as: helping with inflammation, clearing up skin, and getting better sleep!  It also helps regulate your blood pressure and blood sugar levels.  Natural Lane Forskolin is made in the USA under the highest quality laboratory conditions following strict Good Manufacturing Practices so you know exactly what you are putting into your body.  The Natural Lane Forskolin pure formula means, No jitters, No nausea and No headaches!

You can purchase Forskolin by Natural Lane on Amazon.com and if you order 2 bottles Natural Lane is offering all my readers $10.00 off when you use coupon code ILQ9TLAW!

**Tone It Up Tuesday**

Tone It Up

Hey Tone It Up followers, it's Tone It Up Tuesday and we are well into the Frisky Fall Fitness Challenge but it's never too late to start so sign up here.  Here is a copy of the schedule in case you missed it!  

I wanted to share one of my favorite "workout" videos from the Tone It Up girls.  It's actually a Foam Roller Routine and if you haven't tried Foam Rolling I highly recommend it.  Foam Rolling is kinda like giving yourself a deep tissue massage.  Foam Rolling can improve your blood circulation throughout your skin, fascia, muscles, and even tendons and ligaments where you can access them with a foam roller.  It will also help lengthen short (tight) muscles, tendons, and ligaments.  Some muscles (like hip flexors) and ligaments (iliotibial band) are prone to shortening, and are difficult to effectively stretch and apply therapeutic pressure to using standard massage and trigger point therapy techniques.  But with a foam roller, you can apply deep pressure massage to such areas and lengthen shortened tissues, thereby preventing physical imbalances that can predispose you to injury.

I first heard about Foam Rolling via Sue Hitzmann & The MELT Method a few years ago.  The MELT Method website has some great information and I highly encourage you to check it out as well!  Here is another great video with info about the MELT Method...

 

Do you Foam Roll?  How has it helped you?  I would love to hear all about it so leave me a comment below...

Must Have Monday-Oskia Micro Exfoliating Balm

Oskia Micro Exfoliating Balm

Happy Monday, I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

I, unfortunately, was stuck in bed all weekend alternating ice packs & heating pads because I threw my back out and I was totally bummed out since that wasn't how I planned to spend my weekend but I did get a lot of reading done and I was able caught up on some of my favorite blogs which is always fun.

The Oskia Micro Exfoliating Balm seemed to be a cult favorite on a lot of the UK blogs so of course I had to make it my "Must Have" for this Monday.

The Oskia Micro Exfoliating Balm is formulated to buff away tired skin cells and daily impurities while nourishing and softening the skin. It also restores radiance, health and vitality to the complexion. Luxuriously rich and creamy, this skin refining polish is packed with Micro Silica and Pure MSM (Organic Sulphur) Granules which eliminate dead skin cells, unclogs pores and dissolves on contact with water to smooth and soften the skin.

Sounds pretty amazing huh?  I know...I...MUST...HAVE!!  However, it does have pretty hefty price tag at $66.00 so it probably won't be something that I purchase anytime soon and it will just have to go on my wish list for now. :(

Launch Nutrition Phytoceramides Anti Aging Skin Care-Review

*Phytoceramides by Launch Nutrition

Yep, I have been testing out another Phytoceramides and this one is by Launch Nutrition!  I love this and I've said it before but I will say it again, if you haven't jumped on the Phytoceramides band wagon then you should do it now!  After all, what have you been waiting for?  Phytoceramides help reduce fine lines and crows feet and also helps keep skin hydrated, what's not to love about that?

How do Phytoceramides work?  

So glad you asked...Phytoceramides are the plant-derived equivalent of ceramides, a lipid that keeps your skin hydrated and plump.  As you age you start to lose ceramides and as a result, your skin beings to appear rough and wrinkled.  Taking Phytoceramides orally restores the natural outer layer of the skin.  These powerful molecules work from the inside out, getting absorbed into the bloodstream and carried to the inner layer of your skin.  From there, they seep to the outermost layer where they restore the cracked and damaged barrier, moisturize and fill out wrinkles and sun-damaged areas.

Go to LaunchNutrition.com for more info on their Phytoceramides or to Amazon.com to purchase a bottle for yourself!

Herbtheory Stress & Sleep Herbal Supplement Review + Giveaway

*Herbtheory Stress & Sleep Herbal Supplement

If you follow my blog then you already know that I suck at sleeping so I am always on the hunt for supplements that help me get some much needed z's!

That being said I jumped at the opportunity to be able to review this Stress & Sleep Herbal Supplement for Herbtheory.  I have been taking it for awhile now and it has actually helped a little in the sleep department.  

The Herbtheory Stress & Sleep Herbal Supplement doesn't work like a normal Sleeping Supplement/Aid, this product is more focused on tackling stress, thus making sleepless nights fewer.  This product will not make you drowsy since the focus of this supplement is more about reducing your stress level and inducing relaxation and I have to say I kind of like that approach.  I definitely feel like it has helped me feel a little less stressed and more relaxed which in turn has helped me fall asleep a little more easily (YAY!!).  I also love that it's all natural and it's also vegan, gluten-free and made with wild-crafted herbs.

Herbtheory has a great selection of other quality supplements that you can check out on their website and you can also purchase them on Amazon.com.

Are you looking to reduce stress and induce relaxation?  Well, Herbtheory has generously offered to give 1 Free bottle of their Stress & Sleep Herbal Supplement to one of my lucky readers!  The contest starts 10/10/14 @ 3pm PST and ends on 10/17/14 @ 3pm PST
