PRODUCT REVIEW: Dot&Dot Multi Purpose Bag/Travel Accessories Organizer

I love this little bag :)
It's waterproof-lined on the inside, mesh see-through, and a great size.

I had it hooked to my carry-all tote's strap to hang on the inside, but I took it off last night to carry under my arm while I was out at a Harvest Party. Came in very handy in holding my license, a couple of dollars, my keys, eyeglasses when I didn't need them, a pen, chapstick, car-pack of kleenex, etc.

I love this bag :)

My Rating: A

(Addendum 11/28: I keep moving this back and forth from my car to my totes, and adding more and more in it. It's become quite an addiction to carry! HAHA!)

PRODUCT REVIEW: 100% Pure Yacon Syrup - Metabolism Booster - All Natural Weight Loss Yacon Syrup - Raw Yacon Syrup

I received this a couple of weeks ago and finally opened it this last weekend.

I used it on toast, and then later made 'molasses' cookies with it. I like it. It's not overly sweet, and very much reminds me of molasses. 

I also used it on some coffee just to see what it would be like, it was good! Melted down quickly of course, and made the coffee taste really good! 

It's a fine product and I will end up finishing the bottle!

My Rating: A

Pure yacon syrup assists in weight loss and slimming waist sizes, regulating blood sugar, and increasing daily fiber intake

The syrup, distilled from the Peruvian tuber yacon -- contains up to 50 percent fructooligosacharides, or FOS. FOS, classified as a prebiotic, is a non-caloric sweetener and also a fiber source.

According to a 2009 Scientific study, daily intake of yacon syrup produced a significant decrease in body weight, waist circumference and body mass index.

Yacon syrup Speeds up the metabolism to combat excess fat and regulates the hunger hormone, making you feel full longer.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Diet Standards AminoHD 1000 BCAA Capsules

I took these capsules for two weeks, one per morning, in between meals (one of the suggestions on the label), and though I wasn't specifically looking to "lose weight" via these tablets, though I do need to lose weight, they had no negative effect on my body and I did notice a little 'leaning' in my arms recently. I can honestly only relate that to these specific capsules because I'm not doing anything different for that. 

I had a positive experience with this product.

My Rating: A

(addendum: I will probably increase my intake of this product because I have been having a hard time losing weight recently because of my perimenopause)

7 MORE USES OF COCONUT OIL

7 MORE USES OF COCONUT OIL:

1. Prevents chaffing
If your little one has a diaper rash, try dabbing a small amount of coconut oil on the area that’s irritated and allow it to dry before replacing the diaper.

2. Soothes sore throats
There’s nothing more irritating than an itchy, sore throat, right? The next time you feel one coming on, try swallowing a teaspoon of coconut oil or adding it to your cup of tea.

3. Heals wounds
Because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties, coconut oil can be lightly applied over superficial cuts and scrapes. This isn't for deep cuts.

4. Improves cholesterol
Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which boosts your HDL cholesterol – the “good” kind – levels. High HDL levels can reduce your risk for heart disease, which is the leading cause of death for African-American women.

5. Burns fat
While it seems like adding oil to your diet would do more harm than good, it’s actually quite the opposite with coconut oil. It contains medium-chain saturated fats, which can boost your metabolism and are easier to digest.

6. Fights congestion
Feeling congested? Instead of running out to the store and spending money on a jar of vapor rub, try a natural alternative, such as coconut oil to eliminate any congestion.

7. Prevents nosebleeds
One of the most common causes of nosebleeds is dry nostrils. Applying a tiny amount of coconut oil inside of your nose can moisten your mucus membranes.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Stretch Mark & Scar Cream [For Prevention & Reduction] by Insta Natural

I've used this on my neck, chest and stomach for almost two weeks now and I am just starting to see a difference in the 'reduction' of the stretch marks, it's almost like it's blending them in to my skin, it's pretty neat!

I've gotten stretch marks over time from childbirth, weight gain, and age. 

This item does not have an overpowering odor, and it goes on soft & smooth.

PRODUCT REVIEW: NootropX-Cognitive and Neural Enhancement Formula

I started using this two weeks ago. I have short-term memory loss due to heading into that awesome time in a woman's life when she changes gears - AND LOSES HER MIND! Literally. Grr. Argh!!

I do notice a difference with these tablets, and I will continue to use them, as well as continue to buy them!

This is a huge deal to me, because for 2 years, this memory loss has been driving me nuts. I was always GREAT at recalling things. 

I didn't understand what was happening until this year... I had to start adjusting the way I did things, like writing everything important like appointments, birthdays, anything... I already had a regular day timer, just like anyone else, but then to have to start using notepads, sticky pads, even just to remember WHY I was going to the store.., and I hate it. I've been able to remember more things now and I hope to see even more improvement as I take them.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Professional Microfiber Mop - 18" Professional Microfiber Mop | Stainless Steel Handle | Premium Mop Pads

OH MAN! Let me tell you what, I LOVE THIS MOP!

It was easy to put together, dusts like a dream, and mops up anything in my kitchen!
I LOVE THIS MOP!
(did I already say that?)

I had already mopped my floor with my regular sponge mop, which I replace constantly because I like to scrub my floor clean. I waited two days to use this after I got it so the floor would get dirty again, haha!

I have a 17 yr old son, 3 cats, myself, and a man walking through the house, and because the cats and kid, lol, won't wipe their paws/feet/shoes, we get dirt and trash brought into the home, naturally. Any little thing that will catch in the tread of shoes, though we do remove them inside the front door, can still be tracked into the rest of the home on socks or bare feet. 

This mop made cleaning my kitchen floor so much easier than that nasty, cheap sponge mop. Because it's long-wide so to speak, I can turn it so that it fits back between my stove and cabinet, and actually REACH all the way to the wall! That means, there's no yuck on the floor near the back of the stove! WOOHOO!

I also clean homes for a living, this made doing other people's kitchens so much easier on me and my back! (I have moderate scoliosis)

There are some great ideas below on how to use this great mop/duster!

My Rating: A+

With your new mop you can quickly and effectively clean almost any hard surface floor; here are some ideas on how to use them effectively:

• Adjust the length of the handle so it's just under your chin when its vertical. When you're using it keep the mop just in front of your feet. This will help you keep your back straight when mopping.
• The dust mop is the single pad with the dark blue microfiber yarn around the edges and the gray microfiber yarn in the middle. Don't use it wet. The wet mops are the two thick light blue pads.
• Dust mop often, its quicker and easier than wet mopping and the more often you dust mop the less often you'll need to get a deeper clean with the wet mops.
• You probably don't need to launder the dust mop after each use. The wet mops should be thoroughly rinsed out after each use or laundered.
• When wet mopping make sure the wet mop isn't completely drenched. You just want it damp. If its totally saturated with water or cleaning solution there's no space left for it to pick up dirt!
• When wet mopping start in the far corner of the area to be mopped. Work backwards through the area moving the mop in almost a figure eight motion.

Good microfiber mops should last for years when cared for properly and these are most certainly good microfiber mops! There are three things to keep in mind when washing microfiber:

• Don't use fabric softener or detergents with softeners. Fabric softener clogs up the open spaces in the fiber that make them so effective.
• Don't dry the microfiber in your dryer on high heat. Instead, air dry or dry them in the dryer on low heat or no heat.
• Don't wash or dry microfiber with cotton! Cotton lints and microfiber picks up and holds on to everything. Ideally you should wash microfiber only with other microfiber, but if you cant make a full load with microfiber its okay to wash it with other synthetics that don't lint.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Naturalico firming cellulite cream

I started using this on the outside of my right thigh only, because I really wanted to compare the two in the a mirror and be able to tell a significant difference. And I can! 

Even the skin is firmer, and I can certainly tell that underneath the top layer of skin I am not as noticeably 'bumpy' as what is on my left thigh.

The cream has a slight odor to it, nothing overpowering, it has a medium thickness and spreads well. It did not sting my skin nor leave it sticky.

I am very pleased with this product!

PRODUCT REVIEW: Spooky Eyes Colored Eye Contacts

My 17 yr old son and I had the best time with these contacts right after getting them! He got Blackouts, and I got the Vampire Reds.

As soon as I saw the red ones, I went right out and bought my first ever, full, genuine costume from a store! (instead of just putting together an outfit from home).

Zach is into Cosplay so he'll be teaming this up with a really cool outfit for Halloween as well.

After Halloween has come and gone, I'll add updated photos, for now, here's the ones we already have from being excited  ;)

PRODUCT REVIEW: E-book: Clean Food Diet by Jonathan Vine

I definitely recommend this book!

Book Description:

Would you like to improve your health and boost your immune system?
You can do it with clean food diet!
Clean eating improves your health, it boosts your immune system, it helps you think better, it makes your skin look better, it makes your hair shine, and your tummy feel much better as well. And all with just a few simple lifestyle changes! Not in a month or two, but now! Now is the time for that change, now is the time to feel better;do this for yourself and be grateful for it!
Clean eating is a challenge, given the amount of processed foods you can find on the market. It sounds harder than it actually is, and once you get started and taste real, clean food and get to testify to its benefits later on, there’s nothing stopping you.
Every single food we buy at the supermarket has at least one additive to preserve it better, to make it look better, or to taste better. But luckily in the last few years, you can see that many people have stopped eating whatever, whenever and began to become more interested in where their food comes from, how it is being produced, what it contains, and what health benefits it has. This has led to a movement that is trending more and more called clean eating.
In "Clean Food Diet" you will discover:

• What is clean eating is
  What to eat
  How to eat clean
  How to cook clean

50 simple recipes to jumpstart your new lifestyle:

• Appetizers
  Soups
  Salads
  Main Dishes
  Desserts
