21-Day Arm Sculpting Challenge


Happy Fitness Friday!

So, I thought what a better way to start off the weekend than with a Challenge!  I have been wanting to get my arms in shape for Spring so I can feel good about wearing short sleeve shirts and tank tops so this challenge comes at a perfect time for me and I thought some of you would like to join me.
This is a 21-Day Arm Sculpting Challenge from PopSugar Fitness and it's really simple with plenty of "Rest Days" to give your muscles time to rebuild and become stronger and so there isn't any room for excuses.  All you need is the appropriate size dumbbell (three to eight pounds) and then just follow the plan above.   
Use this link for more detailed information!  Who's with me?  If you are interested in doing this challenge just leave me a comment below and I will respond to you!

Omega-3 Fish Oil by Earthwell Nutrition-Review



It seems like you hear about Omega-3 Fatty Acids all the time these days.  Omega-3 Fatty Acids are the one type of fat that you don’t want to cut back on.  Not only does your body need these fatty acids to function, but also they deliver some big health benefits!  Omega-3 Fatty Acids can help lower elevated triglyceride levels, it can help curb stiffness and joint pain, can help people who suffer from depression and can help improve lung function, among other things.
I take Omega-3 supplements as part of my everyday supplement regime.  I really like these Omega-3 Fish Oil supplements by Earthwell Nutrition because not only are they a quality supplement they don't have that fishy aftertaste!  They use fresh lemon taste to prevent any fishy smell, taste or aftertaste.  There is nothing worse that having fishy tasting burps!  Eww!!
Earthwell Nutrition uses freshly caught wild cold water fish and they use a world-renowned Norwegian technology to process and extract the fish oil.  Each capsule contains 1,360 mg of pharmaceutical-grade fish oil.  With highly concentrated Omega-3s (800 EPA, 600 DHA, and 100 other EFAs), their fish oil has the most potent EPA/DHA ratio as recommended by most physicians.

Dark Spot Corrector by Key West Health & Beauty-Review



I've mentioned in past blog posts that I suffer from Melasma which is a common but annoying skin problem.  It causes brown to gray-brown patches usually on the face and neck.  Most people get it on their cheeks, bridge of their nose, forehead, chin, and above their upper lip.  Unfortunately, sun exposure triggers Melasma so it's really an on-going battle.  I wear sunscreen everyday but the Melasma still manages to appear.
Needless to say I am always on the hunt for treatments that will help diminish the look of the Melasma.  I was super excited when Key West Health & Beauty sent me some of their Dark Spot Corrector to try out!  I have a really stubborn spot on my cheek so I faithfully applied the product to that spot for over 2 weeks and I am happy to report it is significantly lighter! (I regret not doing a before and after pic!)
What I really loved about this Dark Spot Corrector by Key West Health & Beauty is that it did not contain any harmful Hydroquinone.  Most products that lighten the skin contain various amounts of Hydroquinone and unfortunately it's fairly toxic.  The Dark Spot Corrector by Key West Health & Beauty is made from 98% natural & 72% Organic ingredients.  It's also cruelty free, never tested on animals!  It contains Glycolic Acid that exfoliates and eliminates dead surface skin cells, Kojic acid fades age spots, hyper-pigmentation and sun damage, Salicylic Acid helps unclogs pores & loosens thick dry skin, allowing new skin cells to regenerate and Hyaluronic Acid provides intense hydration, keeping skin plump, smooth and youthful.


Key West Health & Beauty has several other products that I would love to try since I was so impressed with their Dark Spot Corrector!  Check out keywesthealthandbeauty.com for a look at the Dark Spot Corrector and their other products.  You can purchase on Amazon.com or just click the link below...

La Belleza Vitamin C Serum-Review



Oh how I LOVE Vitamin C Serum!  It is seriously one of the best skincare products on the market right now.  However, there are also a lot of Vitamin C Serums to choose from these days and it can be a bit overwhelming choosing one.  I recommend looking for all natural and organic ingredients, never purchase one that uses Parabens or other nasty chemicals.
A good option would be this La Belleza Vitamin C Serum that I was sent to review.  I've been testing it out for a couple weeks on my face, neck, decollete and even my shoulders and I have been loving the formula and the results!  It contains all natural and Organic ingredients with Amino Acids and a Vegan Hyaluronic Acid base.  The La Belleza Vitamin C Serum is really lightweight so it's easily absorbed and can be worn under makeup.  This serum will help diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, help smooth skin texture and leave skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated!
Go to labelleza.com for more information or to purchase the Vitamin C Serum.  You can also purchase directly from Amazon.com or by clicking on the link below...

Age Defense Neck Cream by Body Merry-Review



It seems like you can get those annoying neck lines at just about any age.  I am 41 and while my neck lines aren't very prominent (at least not yet!) I want to make sure they stay that way.  Body Merry sent me some of their Age Defense Neck Cream to review for them so I have been trying it out for the past couple of weeks. 
I have been applying the cream on my neck and decollete ever morning and evening and I definitely notice that my skin feels more firm, smooth, supple and well hydrated.  Since my neck lines are not all the noticeable I have yet to see a real difference in that department but I love the idea of prevention and I will continue to use this cream to help keep my neck and decollete young looking!
The Age Defense Neck Cream by Body Merry is jam packed with all the great anti-aging ingredients like, 4% Vitamin C, 5%, Glycolic Acid and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and some natural and organic ingredients such as Plant Derived Hyaluronic Acid, Propolis, Royal Jelly, Cocoa Butter, Jojoba Oil, Green Tea, Avocado Oil, Licorice, Lemongrass and Rosehip Oil!  I also love that Body Merry does not use fragrances or harsh chemicals such as Parabens, Sulphates or Phthalates.

Go to BodyMerry.com for more information or to purchase the Age Defense Neck Cream.  While your there check out their other products.  I have tried just about all of them and they are all great quality products that give real results!  You can also purchase the Age Defense Neck Cream by Body Merry on Amazon.com or click on the link below...

Berry Sleepy - The 100% Fruit Sleep Aid Review + Giveaway



Unfortunately, I suck at sleeping!  I have always had issues going to sleep and staying asleep.  When it gets really bad I do take a prescription sleep-aid but really hate doing that so I am always up for trying a natural sleep-aid instead.
I was recently sent this Berry Sleepy supplement to review so I have been testing it out for the last several weeks.  This Berry Sleepy sleep-aid is a proprietary blend of three superfruits that are proven to induce sleep.  Passion Fruit contains serotonin, a mild sedative perfect for helping you gently drift off.  Goji Berries have a blend of magnesium and thiamin, ideal for high-quality rest.  Tart Cherries contain optimal levels of melatonin to help you stay asleep.  There are no unnatural chemicals and it contains naturally occurring vitamins and minerals.  It's also non addictive with no harmful side-effects. 
I took Berry Sleepy as directed and I had really great results.  Not only did I fall asleep with ease I was able to stay asleep a lot longer than I normally would.  In all fairness to Berry Sleepy, I share a bed with my husband and two dogs that like to sleep under the covers with us.  Naturally, the dogs are the cause of some of my sleep problems but it would break my heart to kick them out of the bed!  So, for now I will sacrifice loosing a little seep!  I also loved that I woke up feeling more refreshed and not groggy at all.  I highly recommend Berry Sleepy if you have any sleep issues!
Want to try Berry Sleepy for yourself?  Enter my Giveaway!  Berry Sleepy has graciously offered to give one of my lucky readers a FREE bottle!  The giveaway starts 03/26/15 @ 12:00 p.m. PST and ends 03/30/15 @ 12:00 p.m. PST.  Good Luck!

100% Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder-Review




I've talked about my love of Matcha on my blog before and I love getting to test out new brands.  Recently, I was sent this 100% Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder by Enzo and I have only great things to say about it!  It has great flavor and of course it has all the great benefits that only comes from quality Matcha.  It's a great metabolism booster and lifts energy levels, it's a powerful antioxidant, natural detoxifier and it helps relax your mind and improve your focus.  There are just so many great benefits of 100% Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder!


This Enzo 100% Organic Matcha Tea is pure premium matcha made from 100% organic mat-cha green tea.  The shade-grow green tea leaves are carefully stone-grilled and ground into 1000 mashes so tiny it can pass through 1000 holes per square inch, making the tea not only easily mixed but also easily absorbed by the body.
