Tone It Up Tuesday's


Have you been keeping up with your workouts?  I have!  Yay, for me!  I wanted to share another one of my favorite workout routines with you but this time it's collaborative with Blogilates & Sarah Fit.


I like to share info & workouts from Tone It Up because Karena & Katrina inspire me.  However, I have a few others that I like as well so I thought I would share those with you.  First up is Blogilates with a 4 min to a Hot Body Workout...



I also love Sarah's Ultimate Booty Boot-Camp Workout from Sarah Fit...



And for a little more intense workouts I like the 20 Minute Cardio HIIT and Sweat: Workout to Burn Fat and Sculpt Lean Muscle from Melissa Bender...


All these gals have great workouts that you can do in the comfort of your own home and the best part is that they are FREE!!  However, I would recommend investing in the following items:
Yoga Mat
Hand Weights 5 & 10 lbs.
Kettlebell 10 lbs.
Exercise Ball
Barre Ball
Jump Rope

(T.J. Maxx is a great place to find high quality exercise equipment at great prices)

Stretch Mark & Scar Cream by InstaNatural-Review



Another great product from one of my favorite brands!  InstaNatural sent me their Stretch Mark & Scar Cream to review for them.  Who doesn't need a little help getting rid of their stretch marks and scars?  I know I do!
I have been using the Stretch Mark & Scar Cream by InstaNatural for a few weeks now on a particular spot on my leg, a bug bite gone seriously awry.  I could kick myself for not taking before & after pics because it looks a lot better than it did when I started.  While I love before & after pics I tend to steer away from them a little bit because I have found it's all about the camera & lighting.  The way my current camera takes pics it's sometimes hard to tell a real difference even though I can see a difference when I look in the mirror (since I am extremely familiar with every centimeter of my face, lol).  Regardless, I would give this Stretch Mark & Scar Cream by InstaNatural a 5 out of 5 stars for how well it worked on my bug bite.  It has the consistency of a pretty thick lotion but it absorbs really well into the skin.  I was tempted to try it out on some of the old acne scars I have but because of a couple of the ingredients I was afraid that my face might break out.  I just have to be really careful about what goes on my face.
Get a bottle for yourself and let me know how it goes!  You can purchase it on Amazon.com.  Also, check their other products at InstaNatural.com.

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.

Phytoceramides Youthful Skin Formula by InstaNatural-Review



I have become a devotee of  Phytoceramides over the last few months.  It's crazy because if you would of asked me what Phytoceramides were 6 months ago I wouldn't of been able to answer you.  However, now I have become a little bit of an expert on the subject!   Phytoceramides will be one of those supplements that I will probably continue to take for years to come so I was pretty excited when of my one of my favorite brands, InstaNatural, sent me their Phytoceramides to try.  Since I love all things InstaNatural I already knew I was going to love it!  InstaNatural already has an impressive list of great products and now they can add Skincare Supplements to that list.
Ceramides are a naturally occurring substances in the body that are responsible for binding skin cells together and retaining moisture.  Unfortunately, as we age, we lose these important molecules and thus become susceptible to dry, rough skin.  That's why taking a supplement like Phytoceramides Youthful Skin Formula by InstaNatural because it will help achieve healthy skin from the inside out, leaving it soft & smooth.  
Go to InstaNatural.com to check some of their other great products and also go to Amazon.com to purchase some Phytoceramides Youthful Skin Formula by InstaNatural for yourself!

Anti-Aging Skin Clearing Serum by InstaNatural-Review



 If you follow my blog then you already know that I am a HUGE fan of InstaNatural products.  I have tried just about all their products now and I have yet to be disappointed.  The newest product I can add to the list is the Anti-Aging Skin Clearing Serum that InstaNatural sent me to review.

It's always a good thing when a product does double duty and that is exactly what this Anti-Aging Skin Clearing Serum.  Not only does it help reverse the signs of aging it also helps with discoloration, redness, inflammation, and it even helps unclog pores.  I have been using the Anti-Aging Skin Clearing Serum for about 3 weeks and I have had great results.  I alternate using the serum between my morning and nightly skincare routines so I am only using it once a day.  The serum is really lightweight and absorbs easily into the skin and my skin feels & looks smoother and it even feels more nourished.  I have also noticed that a few of my old acne spots are less noticeable.

Like I said, another product to add to the growing list of great products from InstaNatural!


Go to InstaNatural.com to take a look at all the great InstaNatural products and you can also go to Amazon.com to purchase the Anti-Aging Skin Clearing Serum.

Old Factory Candle Gift Set Review + Giveaway



One thing you might not know about me is that I LOVE candles.  However, ever since I found out how toxic they can be I stopped buying them all together and just started using the scented melting wax instead.  Thank goodness for companies like Old Factory that started producing clean burning candles because there is just something about the ambiance that only a candle can provide.  I was really excited when Old Factory sent me a set of 3 different scented candles to review for them in the Fall Harvest scents.  The Fall Harvest scents are Pumpkin Spice, Cranberry and Autumn Leaves.  All 3 candles smell fantastic and exactly what you would expect, warm, inviting and homey.
Each candle burns clean and even for 20 hours and they are hand-poured in the USA with natural soy wax, self-trimming wicks, and premium fragrance oils.  These candles are pretty fabulous!



Now for the best part...Old Factory has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers their own Old Factory Candle Gift Set!  You will LOVE these candles, they are very high quality, soy candles and would make an awesome gift as well!  The giveaway starts 11/14/14 @ 12 pm & ends 12/04/14 @ 12 pm.

It's no secret that I LOVE a good cocktail and I am constantly on the hunt for the latest flavor of liquor to invent new concoctions of my own (I swear I am not an alcoholic!).  I have just about about every bar tool you can think of but for some reason I have never had a Muddler.  Well, thank goodness that Btipsy sent me one to review for them!!  Now that I have a Muddler I am not sure how I ever lived without one...wth??
