Forskolin Extract by Sonora Nutrition-Review

*Forskolin Extract by Sonora Nutrition

I have been taking Forskolin off and on for years because I feel that it really helps give my metabolism a much needed boost and that helps me burn more fat!  It also helps control my cravings which is a big plus for me since I am a stress eater! (seems like I am always stressed!).  Lately I have been taking this Forskolin that Sonora Nutrition sent me to review for them.  It's a really great quality supplement and from I brand that I have grown to know and trust.

The Forskolin by Sonora Nutrition is made with the the highest potency available and as with all the supplements that take there are no fillers, binders or other artificial ingredients.

A great thing about Sonora Nutrition is that they have a 365-­day money-back guarantee.  If you're not completely satisfied, just contact them and they will give you a full refund, no questions asked!

100% Plant Based Konjac Sponge - French Red Clay by Oleavine

*100% Plant Based Konjac Sponge - French Red Clay by Oleavine

I love these sponges.  I have tried a few of them and they really are a great addition to any skincare routine.  Lately, I have been using & alternating between the White & French Red Clay ones that Oleavine sent me to review for them.

If you haven't heard of a Konjac Sponge yet they are basically facial cleansing sponges that are all natural, eco-freindly and biodegradable (like you can throw it out in your backyard when your done with it kind of eco-freindly and biodegradable) that will exfoliate, cleanse, and the natural fibers help absorb excess oils, impurities and acne causing bacteria while leaving your face refreshed and radiant.  

The four different sponges are White, Red, Green & Black.  The White or Original is perfect for all skin types and even children.  Red is infused with French Red Clay and helps stimulate blood circulation and accelerate skin regeneration, leaving radiant and hydrated skin, perfect for all but really great for dry, sensitive or mature skin.  Green which is infused with French Green Clay and has antiseptic properties, is rich in minerals, and has natural absorbent properties that draw out excess oils, dirt and bacteria, especially effective for combination and oily t-zone skin.  Finally, Black (which I have done a review on as well and you can read that, here) is infused with Bamboo Charcoal and contains activated carbon and minerals that purify, supply antioxidants, help draw out excess oils and fight hard-to-reach acne-causing bacteria, especially effective for oily and acne-prone skin types.

The sponges last for about 6 weeks and you can even place them in the microwave to sanitize the sponge, just place a WET sponge in a bowl full of water, then microwave it for 1 minute while monitoring it.  You should never microwave dry or slightly damp sponge.  Carefully remove the sponge or simply leave it for few minutes until it cools off.  Once cool, rinse it with running water and then allow to dry.  Just make sure you follow directions exactly or you could damage the sponge.

To purchase one of these innovative sponges go to Oleavine.com or you can also purchase at Amazon.com.  The best part is if you are not 100% Satisfied Oleavine has a 90-day Money Back Guarantee!

Garcinia Cambogia by Summit Nutrition-Review

*Garcinia Cambogia by Summit Nutrition

I have been a big fan of Garcinia Cambogia as a supplement that I use to help me both maintain & loose weight.  Summit Nutrition sent me their Garcinia Cambogia to review for them so I have been taking it for the the last several weeks.  The biggest benefit I get from taking Garcinia Cambogia is increased energy level.  I am horrible sleeper so I am constantly running low on energy and I am also allergic to coffee (I know, the horror!!) so taking the Garcinia Cambogia in the a.m. gives me that MUCH NEEDED extra energy boost!  I also feel like it really does help control my appetite.  I am a big stress eater and the Garcinia Cambogia helps me keep my stress snacking down to a minimum.
I have also tried the Pure Raspberry Ketones by Summit Nutrition and had great success with that supplement as well!  Of course, as with all "weight loss" supplements they are meant to be taken in addition to following a healthy diet and exercise program!  Working out is SO important but taking supplements like the Garcinia Cambogia by Summit Nutrition really can help you achieve your goals!

Go to summitnutrition.com for more information and to purchase the Garcinia Cambogia or you can also purchase on Amazon.com.

Lemon Oil - 100% Pure & Natural Essential Oil by Pure Body Naturals-Review

*Lemon Oil - 100% Pure & Natural Essential Oil by Pure Body Naturals

Essential Oils have become super popular and rightly so.  Essential Oils can be used for just about everything from skincare, health & wellness to natural home cleaning products.  Pure Body Naturals sent me their Lemon Oil - 100% Pure & Natural Essential Oil and I have been having so much fun experimenting with all the different uses for it!

I did a little research and found a great little article on website that I love, draxe.com.  Dr. Axe has a list for the top 10 Lemon Essential Oil Uses and I went ahead listed them below for you:

1. Laundry – In case you leave your laundry sitting in the washer too long, just add a few drop of lemon EO and your clothes won’t get that nasty smell.
2. Teeth Whitener – Mix lemon essential oil, baking soda and coconut oil and rub on your teeth for 2 minutes and then dense as a natural teeth whitener.
3. Clean Hands – Got greasy hands from working on your car or bike and regular soap isn’t doing the trick? No worries, just add a couple drops of lemon EO with your soap and get your clean hands back!
4. Natural Disinfectant – Want to steer away from alcohol and bleach to disinfect your countertops and clean your moldy shower? Add 40 drops lemon oil and 20 drops tea tree oil to a 16-oz spray bottle fill with pure water (and a little bit of white vinegar) for a traditional cleaning favorite.
5. Face-wash – Lemon essential oil uses for skin can can improve your complexion and leave your skin soft and supple. Lemon oil benefits skin by deeply nourishing. You can make lemon oil with baking soda and honey for a natural acne free face wash.
6. Wood and Silver Polish – A lemon oil-soaked cloth will also help spruce up your tarnished silver and jewelry! Lemon oil for wood cleaning is also great.
7. Goo-Be-Gone – Un-stick the sticky goo your kids leave behind with stickers and gum with lemon oil.
8. Promotes Fat-Loss – Putting 2 drops of lemon oil in your water 3x daily can support metabolism and weight loss.
9. Improves Mood – Diffusing lemon essential oil in the air can lift mood and fight depression.
10. Immune Support – Lemon oil can support lymphatic drainage and help your overcome a cold fast, mix it with coconut oil and rub it on your neck.

I was really surprised at all the awesome things Lemon Oil can do!  Who knew?  

I have been testing out #8 on the list, Promotes Fat Loss.  I have to say it seems like I have more energy and I am not eating as much as I normally do.  I'm not sure if the not eating as much attributes to the weight loss but I would think that must be part of it.  So, I would say that for me it does work!

I have also tried #5 on the list, Face Wash.  I actually added a little sugar to the Lemon Oil and baking soda and made more of a scrub that I loved and was very reminiscent of a scrub that I have and consider a Must Have product, the Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser!  It left my skin feeling super soft and it smelled amazing too!

I am still working my way around the list and trying out all the ways I can use the 100% Pure & Natural Lemon Essential Oil by Pure Body Naturals, it's so fun and I love the thought of using an Essential Oil instead of a harmful chemical.

Go to PureBodyNaturals.com & check out the other products they have and you can purchase the Lemon Oil - 100% Pure & Natural Essential Oil by Pure Body Naturals on Amazon.com.
