Saffron by True Sol-Review

*Saffron by True Sol

I consider myself somewhat of a supplement guru just because I have tried & tested just about everything.  Or, at least I thought I had!  However, when Tru Sol offered to send me their Saffron supplement I was really intrigued because I had never really heard of a Saffron supplement, not only that, I had no idea what the benefits of taking it would be.  So, of course I had to do a little research and I found out that Saffron is can be used to treat a lot of different ailments like asthma, insomnia, depression and even cancer just to name a few.  Saffron is also known to prevent over eating, combat emotional eating, provides energy, enhances your mood, all of which aid in weight loss!  All these great benefits is what taking the Tru Sol Saffron supplement will do for you!

You can purchase the Saffron by True Sol on Amazon.com and take advantage of all the health benefits for yourself!

Bonapiel Vitamin C Eye Gel-Review

*Bonapiel Vitamin C Eye Gel

It seems like I have been a Vitamin C binge lately.  Truth is, I can't help myself!  Vitamin C is a fantastic Anti-Aging ingredient. it helps smooth fine lines & crows feet and can even reduce the appearance of dark circles around your eye area.  This Vitamin C Eye Gel that Bonapiel sent me is also made with Cucumber and Aloe Vera so it's feels very refreshing and soothing.  I keep my bottle of it in the fridge for an even more refreshing feeling, the formula is non-greasy and absorbs really quickly.  The Bonapiel Vitamin C Eye Gel even helps with puffiness and makes my tired eyes feel more revived and awake.

The Bonapiel Vitamin C Eye Gel also has Green Tea which provides complementary skin-beautifying effects by protecting against free radicals.   

The skin around our eyes is some of the thinnest tissue on our body so it is very susceptible to damage from stretching and swelling.  The Bonapiel Vitamin C Eye Gel is a great a all-in-one product that addresses all your anti-aging needs for the eye area!  

Go to Bonapiel.com for more information and to check out some of their other products and to order the Bonapiel Vitamin C Eye Gel.  You can also purchase it on Amazon.com.

Thursday Thoughts

I love October!  Seeing all the leaves change color, Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea & lusting after the latest fall fashions!

By this time I usually have the house decorated up inside and out with Fall & Halloween themes but I seem to be dragging my feet this year, not sure why.  My goal is to have it all up by this weekend, although I will probably only decorate in a Fall theme this year.  Now that my kids are older (one has already left the nest) I really don't see the need to bring all the Halloween stuff out.  Do you decorate your house in Fall or Halloween themes this time of year?  I would love to hear what October & Halloween means to you & how you decorate your house so leave me a comment below..

Oh how I love my Matcha Green Tea!!  The health benefits of Matcha Green Tea exceed those of regular green tea because when you drink Matcha you ingest the whole leaf, not just the brewed water.  So, I was more than happy to review the 100% Pure Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder that Zeda Tea sent me.

Here is a general list of the great health benefits you get from Matcha Green Tea and why I love it so much:

- Packed with antioxidants

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!

Make sure you check out VitaPureProducts.com for more information and you can also purchase Milk Thistle Extract by Vita Pure on Amazon.com.

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...
