Ginger Essential Oil by Gya Labs

*Ginger Essential Oil by Gya Labs

Fall is one of my favorite seasons.  For me Fall means cozy sweaters, cute boots, comfort food and unfortunately it also means cold and flu season.  I always try to amp up the intake of the usual Vitamin C, Astragalus and Echinacea and some years I even get a flu shot to help prevent getting sick but inevitably I usually end up with some sort of nasty virus.  Unfortunately, this Fall is not off to a good start because I have already been the victim of a really bad cold.  Sometimes no matter what I do in the way of prevention those little germs find their way in.

Thankfully, I have a arsenal of Essential Oils to help combat every cold and flu symptom you can think of and Oregano Oil, Tea Tree Oil and especially Ginger Oil are of my favorites!

Ginger Oil can actually be used to treat all sorts of things from nausea and menstrual cramps to infections.  It's also a great Essential Oil for treating respiratory issues.  It literally helps remove mucus from the throat and lungs so when I have a cold Ginger Oil is a "Must Have".  To help with congestion I like to make a pillow spray using distilled water and several drops of Ginger Oil and give my pillows a good spray right before bed.

Since Ginger Oil also helps with inflammation so I use it to help with my muscle and joint pain, especially on my neck and upper back areas.  I rub in 2-3 drops a couple times of day and it really helps to alleviate the aches and pains and no pills required!

Another great use of Ginger Oil is Aromatherapy.  It's known as "the oil of empowerment" since it brings a sense of self-assurance and courageousness and serenity and it's one of my favorite oils to diffuse at bedtime. 

So, if you don't have Ginger Oil in your Essential Oil arsenal then I highly recommend you add it!  My personal favorite is the Ginger Oil by Gya Labs and you can find it on Amazon for under $10!

Myrrh Essential Oil by Gya Labs

*Myrrh Essential Oil by Gya Labs

I use Essential Oils every day, several times throughout the day!  In fact, I'm taking a class on Essential Oils just so I can be a bit more knowledgeable in the Essential Oil department.  Needless to say, I'm a bit obsessed and always on the hunt for the best of the best since not all Essential Oils are created equal.

I just recently discovered Essential Oils by Gya Labs and they very kindly sent me their Myrrh Essential Oil to try out!  Most people are familiar with Myrrh since it was one of the gifts that the Three Wise Men brought baby Jesus.  It's basically a gum resin that is obtained from certain trees and made into an essential oil and is used in medicines, perfumes and incense.

Myrrh is one of my favorite Essential Oils to have around during the cold and flu season.  I keep a bottle on my desk when I get to feeling a little under the weather.  I just take a few sniffs throughout the day and the unique scent really helps take the edge off cold and flu symptoms.  It also has antibacterial, antifungal benefits so I love mixing it with a carrier oil like Jojoba Oil and applying it to any affected area and it really helps expedite the healing process.  I will also apply a mixture of Myrrh Oil & Jojoba Oil to my chest and neck if I get a particularly bad cold to help ease symptoms on a deeper level.  

Myrrh Essential Oils has many uses and benefits and it's a great one to have in any Essential Oil collection!  This Myrrh Essential Oil by Gya Labs is excellent quality and I would highly recommend it!

These are just a few of the Essential Oils that I currently use and love!

You can find the Myrrh Essential Oil by Gya Labs over on Amazon along with all the rest of the Essential Oils pictured above...

Current Favorite Supplements - Including Keto by Design Created by God, LLC

*Keto by Design Created by God, LLC

I take a variety of supplements on a regular basis and I like to switch them out every few weeks or so.  Currently, one of my favorites is the Keto by Design supplement.  I have heard great things about the Keto diet and I tried myself diligently for several weeks but I was not able to get enough fat in my diet on a daily basis to meet the diet criteria.  However, I know a lot of people who have had great success.

So, while I'm not on the actual Keto diet right now I thought I would still give these Keto by Design Created by God, LLC supplements a try.  They claim to help burn fat, reduce appetite and improve performance and energy levels.  It's suppose to be great for those that who have a cheat day but want to stay in ketosis.  It's also Made in the USA, cruelty free, no carbs, all natural, no fillers, and non-GMO.

I've been using this supplement for the past few weeks.  Again, I'm not on the Keto diet so I can't speak to some of the claims.  However, it definitely helps curb my appetite and for me that's a WIN!

I plan on attempting the Keto diet again this winter and will absolutely be using this supplement!  I'm really interested in how it will help with some of the Keto symptoms.

The other cool and notable thing is that the owner of the company that makes this Keto by Design Created by God, LLC is pledging $1.00 for each bottle sold for the 2018 calendar year to a Christian home that adopts orphans and I just LOVE that!  I love supporting people who support others!

You can find this Keto by Design Created by God, LLC over on Amazon for $19.99.

Magic Cellulite Eraser Cream...CelluliTx by Jan Marini

*Magic Cellulite Eraser Cream...CelluliTx by Jan Marini

So, I will be honest.  I approached testing out this new CelluliTx by Jan Marini the same as I have with all of the other cellulite creams that I've tried.  With lots of doubt.  For the most part I feel like I've actually had pretty good results with other creams that I've tried but it was only because I was able to achieve a smoother skin appearance which just made the cellulite less noticeable...but it was and still is really there.  I've always said there is no magic cream that is going to get rid of cellulite but after using this CelluliTx by Jan Marini for the last month my opinion has changed! :)

I wish I would have been brave enough to take a before picture of the back of my thighs but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.  Even though most of us have cellulite it's not something I want on display for the world to see.  I also wasn't expecting much in the way of results!  I really didn't start to see much of a difference for the first week but by the end of the second week I actually noticed a definite difference and it wasn't just smoother skin, the cellulite actually seemed to be disappearing.  I can't say for a fact that's what has happened but it really does seem like my skin "feels" different.  It's not just in the way it looks.

Once I noticed what a difference this CelluliTx by Jan Marini was making I had to know why this cream was different from all the other ones that I've tried.  

CelluliTx is comprised of 11 key ingredients that work harmoniously together to specifically target cellulite.  I've have tried other cellulite creams with similar ingredients but leave it to Jan Marini Skin Research to figure out the perfect recipe to get rid of cellulite!  

These are the key ingredients...

Retinol

L-Carnitine

Caffeine

Aminophylline

Glaucine

Theophylline

Tripeptide-41

Nelumbo Nucifera (Sacred Lotus) Flower Extract

Capsaicin (chili pepper extract)

Acetyl Decapeptide-3

Brassica Alba (Mustard) Sprout Extract

This is one of their amazing Before & After pictures....

As you can see the results above are incredible!  My results aren't quite that good...yet!  I plan on using this amazing, magic cellulite eraser cream for as long as I can possibly afford to!  At $130.00 for one tube it isn't cheap so I'm trying to make it last as long as possible but with results this good I will definitely be buying another one before next summer rolls around!

Retractable, Adjustable Heavy Duty Dog Leash by Longfit

*Retractable, Adjustable Heavy Duty Dog Leash by Longfit

I will be the first to admit that I am one of those dog owners that isn't the best at disciplining my dogs.  BUT THEY ARE SO CUTE, I just can't get mad at them.... :)  Since I'm not good at disciplining them that means they usually like to take me for a walk vs. me walking them, lol.  However, I have found when I shorten their leashes they don't pull as much!  That's where this Retractable, Adjustable Heavy Duty Dog Leash by Longfit comes in.

The retractable leash allows us to have more control over our crazy dogs.  It also stands up to their powerful pulls.  We have a Chocolate Lab and a Pit Bull so that should tell you how tough this leash is!  I also love that it has a super comfy handle which makes it even easier to handle the dogs when they pull.
If your in the market for a new leash this one is definitely worth checking out!!

You can find this Retractable, Adjustable Heavy Duty Dog Leash by Longfit over on Amazon.com...

Super Pretty & Adjustable Dog Collar by PetTastic

*Super Pretty & Adjustable Dog Collar by PetTastic

I don't know about your furbabies but mine are kinda ruff...I mean rough...on their collars.  I usually end up getting mine a new one every year and I'm always on the lookout for new designs and colors.  For my silver Pitbull, Karley, I always look for something with pink because it looks so cute with her silver fur.  For our Chocolate Lab, Kramer, I usually look for something more along the lines of Camo!

I was so excited that PetTastic offered to send me this adorable Pink collar for Karley!  You can find it on Amazon and it is by far my favorite collar that I have ever had for Karley.  The various shades of Pink, Silver and hints of blue look so beautiful next to her silver fur.  I also like that this collar is a little wider than any of the other collars that I have ever purchased for her.  It's like this collar was just meant for my sweet nugget!

I purchased a size Large for Karley since she's a Pitbull and she has a wider neck.  The Large size fits a neck of length 18"-26", size Medium will fit neck length 14.5"-20" and the size small will fit a neck length 12"-16".  The collars are made with neoprene lining and a printed polyester webbing layer.  It also has eco-friendly plastic buckles, chrome coated metal leash ring and specialized tag loop.

Hopefully you can tell by the pictures how well made this collar is and how cute it looks on my furbaby!  I highly recommend this collar!  I especially love that it's only $12.95 and I will definitely re-purchase!

Head over to Amazon and get a cute new collar for your furbaby!!
