Another awesome piece to add to my growing home gym! This is a Suspension Strap System Pro Kit by Pinjian Fitness. It's great quality, well designed and it comes with several different options for anchoring it and I highly recommend it. Just make sure you anchor it correctly. I leave all that kind of stuff to my handyman husband but it does come with am easy set-up guide as well.
If you have never used a Suspension Strap System for a workout you are missing out. You can workout your entire body using a Suspension Strap System, in fact you use muscles you didn't even know you had when you work out with a Suspension Strap System!
Here is a link to a video by Kai Wheeler that shows a lot of the different workout options you can have with a Suspension Strap System...

I have always been at odds with my Eyebrows. They are naturally too thin and don't have much of a shape so I am constantly trying to figure out what to do with them. I am also far from an expert when it comes to "doing" my Eyebrows and truthfully it usually consists of just filling in the sparse areas and brushing them out. I am always in awe of people that have perfectly sculpted brows. I feel like I am pretty good at applying my own makeup and I know all about contouring and highlighting but when it comes to my brows I feel like an epic failure. Unfortunately, I am just not that talented.
The Best Sellers Kit includes an automatic, universal Brow Pencil that is formulated to work beautifully with most skin tones and hair colors, complete with a spoolie brush on the opposite end for effortless blending, Brow Duo Pencil for highlighting your brow bone to add definition, warmth and an instant visual “lift", plus there is a universal concealer on the opposite end of the pencil as well, Clear Brow Gel that locks in the look and keeps them in place all day and last but not lease it also comes with a Smudge Brush to help blend out the Brow Duo Pencil.
The Best Sellers Kit retails for $42.00 and comes with everything you need to make your Eyebrows look like you actually know how to do them! Plus, if you go to their website like I did you can watch a little tutorial on how to use each product so you can become an Eyebrow pro!
While the Best Sellers Kit provides everything you need to create beautifully crafted brows it may be a bit much for an everyday look. I usually don't set aside enough time in my morning routine to do sculpted brows so I like to grab something that's faster and a little less complicated. Thankfully, Billion Dollar Brows must have been thinking the same thing because they also have another kit called 60 Seconds to Beautiful Brows!
The 60 Seconds to Beautiful Brows Kit retails for $24.00 and includes a fantastic Brow Brush and a universally flattering Brow Powder. All you have to do is dab the Brow Powder (only a little, a little goes a really long way) with the angled brush and glide it along your brow line, then blend out with spoolie brush. Done! I think it takes me less than 60 seconds! It's perfect for when you are in a time crunch but still want to have that put together look. After all, Eyebrows frame the face, so make sure you put some effort into them and now there's no excuse with 60 Seconds to Beautiful Brows. It's amazing what a little Billion Dollar Brow Powder can do!
Make sure you also enter their Giveaway where 3 Grand Prize Winners will receive a prize package consisting of their Billion Dollar Brows "Best Sellers" Kit!!
Whether you are an expert or an amateur at doing your Eyebrows having the Best Sellers Kit and/or the 60 Seconds to Beautiful Brows Kit will help you look like your most beautiful self! Visit billiondollarbrows.com for more information on these and other Billion Dollar Brows products.

Some of my favorite supplements that I take when I am trying to loose a few pounds, curb my appetite, boost my metabolism or even to just help maintain my weight are Caralluma Fimbriata, Garcinia Cambogia, Raspberry Ketones and Forskolin.
I have talked about all of them here on my blog before and about why I find them so beneficial and why they work for me. My biggest problem is my appetite and my cravings and when I am trying to watch what I eat. I have a HUGE sweet tooth and I am one of those that if it's in the house I will eat it. So, I try really hard to not even bring sweets into the house but on occasion they somehow make their way through. That's where taking these supplements comes into play for me. They really help cut my cravings and curb my appetite all while boosting my metabolism.
This F.A.T. Melter by Fitness Answered Training Products is a supplement that contains all my favorites! Caralluma Fimbriata, Garcinia Cambogia, Raspberry Ketones, Forskolin and even a few others! While this particular supplement did not melt off my fat it did do what I wanted it to do which is curb my appetite and boost my metabolism. Unfortunately, I have a sensitivity to Magnesium Stearate which is listed as one of the ingredients so I was not able to continue using. :( Usually I double check the ingredients before I start taking any supplement but somehow I missed this one which is too bad since it was working for me.! So, if you have any sensitivity to Magnesium Stearate this one might not be for you either.

I recently decided to chop off my long hair as part of my own personal #NewYearNewYou campaign. I was just ready for a change and I think my hair was too! Bummer part is that I am really missing my long hair!
Therefore, I have enlisted some help from some of my favorite products to help make my hair as healthy as possible and encourage it to grow as quickly as possible. One of those products is Organic Hair Growth Serum by La Magie Aromatherapy. It's basically a scalp and hair treatment that you leave in for 20-30 minutes and then shampoo out. It deeply cleanses the hair of residues and buildup from shampoo, conditioner and any dyes. I always follow up this treatment with a quality shampoo and conditioner that are free of Parabens and other nasty ingredients. As a result, my hair looks and feels super clean, soft, smooth and healthier.
It's made with a secret blend of 15 natural and Organic Essential Oils that deeply clean, nourish and help promote healthier, stronger and thicker hair! Of course there are absolutely no artificial fragrances, colors, additives, or other impurities in this magical treatment.
I would recommend this product for anyone wanting to help promote new hair growth and help your hair be free of residue build up and be it's healthiest self!

This Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner by StriVectin was a bit of a game changer for me. I have never really liked using any Retinol products during the day and I have always saved them for my nighttime routine. Retinol can make skin sun-sensitive which is why I usually only use it at night, however, I really wanted to try and use this product as directed and since StriVectin recommended that it be used in the a.m. and p.m. for the best results, I figured I would give it a go! Plus, the CC Cream that I use as a foundation contains SPF 55+ so it lessened my concern about my skin being sun sensitive.
I was eager to start using this Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner by StriVectin because it promised to reduce the appearance of my enlarged pores and refine my skin texture for a smooth, even complexion. I have oily skin so I used it in place of my normal moisturizer and I instantly noticed that my pores were less noticeable and because of my oily skin I really loved the mattifying effect. Plus, it left my skin feeling hydrated all at the same time. Needless so say, this quickly became a "Holy Grail" product for me! Almost magically after using it consistently for about 2 weeks I started to see a visible improvement in my skin texture and I have a few larger pores around my nose that seemed to shrink in size as well! I can only imagine how much more improved my skin will look after 8 weeks of use! StriVectin does it again! I have long been a fan of their products and now I can add another one to my growing list. Their products are a little on the expensive side, this Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner by StriVectin retails for $99, however, they are worth every penny! After all, the results speak for themselves. This is my #StriveSTORY!
According to StriVectin clinical results after 8 weeks of use the Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner is scientifically proven to:
• Instantly reduce the visible size of pores
• Purify, tighten and visibly reduce the size of pores
• Absorb excess oil to control shine throughout the day
• Hydrate skin and help smooth skin texture
• Reduce the look of pores by up to 50% over time*
If you deal with oily skin, large pores and uneven skin tone or texture then I highly recommend you check out the Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner by StriVectin! However, I think any skin type would benefit, especially if you are in anyway concerned about your pore size!
