Thursday Thoughts

With Thanksgiving right around the corner it has me thinking about being thankful and being filled with gratitude.  It's so easy to get caught up in the daily stresses of life and I forget to stop and just be present and think about how fortunate I am.  I am blessed with a really amazing family and equally amazing friends and all things considered I have a pretty blessed life.  So, this is me putting my hectic life on pause and thinking about all the blessings in my life!

Skinny Burn by Skinny Jane-Review

*Skinny Burn by Skinny Jane

I am all for a supplement that can help curb my appetite and give me lots of energy to help me get through the day and these Skinny Burn supplements do just that.  Skinny Jane sent me these supplements about 4 weeks ago to test out and I have been having great results so far.  

First, I have to say it took me over a week to figure out that I needed to just take the 2 capsules first thing in the morning.  I am really sensitive to Caffeine and taking one of the capsules in the afternoon was just too much and I found myself not sleeping.  So, if you have a sensitivity to Caffeine like I do just take 2 in the morning and you will be good for the whole day.  I don't drink coffee so having that extra energy throughout the day has been fantastic.  Plus, it has REALLY helped curb my appetite and I really think taking the 2 capsules first thing in the morning helped with that as well.  I have even lost about 5 lbs!  That being said, I don't eat a lot of crap and I have also been working out at least 3 times a week but I feel like the Skinny Burn by Skinny Jane gave me that extra burst of energy I needed to start working out again.

I also like the fact that Skinny Jane has a lot of different products to help support your weight loss journey and also something to fit whatever weight loss or maintenance need you have.  Since I have tried the Skinny Burn by Skinny Jane and have had great results with that I will also be testing out their Fuzzy Peach Weight Loss Tea so stay tuned to my blog for my review on the tea!

Go to SkinnyJane.com to get more information and to check out all of their products.  You can also purchase the Skinny Jane products on Amazon.com.

Thursday Thoughts

This is a special time of year for me because it's the time of year when I get together with my Mom her sisters, cousins and a few close friends.  We rent a house somewhere and spend an extended weekend shopping, watching movies, playing games, doing puzzles and of course eating really yummy food and we also usually enjoy a cocktail or two!

My aunts are more like sisters to me since my Mom is the oldest and I am somewhat close in age with most of them.  I feel so blessed to have extended family that I am so close with.  Not only are they family but I like to think of them as my best friends too!  I know not everyone has that so it really makes me treasure them even more.

I am sure this weekend we will make more memories to cherish and as usual it will be really hard to leave and say goodbye.  Can't wait!!

Green Coffee Bean Extract by Life & Food-Review

*Green Coffee Bean Extract by Life & Food

As most of you know I am a big fan of quality supplements so I was excited to try another one from Life & Food since I have already tried their Garcinia Cambogia Extract and was really impressed with the results.  I have also tried other brands of the Green Coffee Bean Extract and have had great results with those as well so I was anxious to see how this one compared.

After taking the Green Coffee Bean Extract by Life & Food I definitely felt like I had more energy, I'm sure the caffeine had something to do with that which is great because I need all the extra energy I can get!  I did loose a few pounds but I think it's also really important to mention that eat I pretty healthily and exercise a few times a week and I think doing those 2 things in addition to taking a supplement like Green Coffee Bean Extract by Life & Food is what really makes it a successful supplement.  I mean, don't think that you can just sit around and eat Bon Bon's (do they even make those anymore?) all day and your going to magically loose weight!  However, I do think that the Green Coffee Bean Extract helps speed up your metabolism so I think it's a great choice for a supplement!  Another great reason to try the Green Coffee Bean Extract by Life & Food is because they do not use binders or fillers and use only natural ingredients.

Go to LifeFoodPro.com to get more information on the Green Coffee Bean Extract and all their other products.  You can also purchase it on Amazon.com.

Derma Roller by Petunia Skincare-Review

*Derma Roller by Petunia Skincare

I have to admit, when I hear the "needle" I get a little tensed up.  However, if I have learned one thing over the years sometimes it hurts to be beautiful!  Actually, this Derma Roller that Petunia Skincare sent me to review is super cool and doesn't really hurt at all, despite the fact that it has a roller loaded with surgical stainless steel needles that you roll all over your face!
The Derma Roller is proven to stimulate collagen production, which helps accelerate skin regeneration.  So, what does that mean for you?  That means you can fade pitted acne scars, reduce wrinkles, fade stretch marks and even help with appearance of cellulite!
I use the Derma Roller in my nightly skincare routine after I wash my face but before I put on any skincare products.  The process of using the Derma Roller adds a few extra minutes to your skincare routine but I promise, it's totally worth it!  By using the Derma Roller in your nightly skincare routine it will help your serums & creams penetrate your skin at a deeper level since your pores are opened from the epidermis to the dermis layer.  That's a fancy way of saying "your pores are wide open & ready for product"!
After using for just a few weeks I have noticed a real difference in my skin.  It feels and looks smoother and even more healthy.  I think this little tool combined with good quality skincare products can make a huge difference in the condition of your skin and it's definitely worth a try!

Go to PetuniaSkincare.com for more information on the Derma Roller and to check out their other skincare products!  Also, you can purchase the Derma Roller by Petunia Skincare on Amazon.com.
