Products & Reviews

I was sent a big package of various  Healthy To Go products to review and I've been trying them out for about a week now.  The main two I'm trying are Trim Energy and Go Greens, pictured above, which are both dietary supplements that come in powder packets that you mix with 16oz of water. Trim Energy  is made of green coffee beans, green tea, and ashwagandha which are healthy and natural ways to help reduce body fat, boosts metabolism, and control cortisol (the stress hormone). It's tea berry flavored and I think it taste similar to the V8 Fusion Teas, which I really like. I found that an entire package was a little too thick for my liking, so I've been mixing half a packet with 16 oz of water, which I think is just perfect. I love this product! I feel great after drinking my Trim Energy in the morning, it gives me the energy I need to get through my day.  I've made it part of my regular diet and exercise program and I will check back with you and le...

This Giveaway is being presented by SaraLee's Deals Steals & Giveaways We are guided by the relentless focus to inspire people to be engaged in their health, try new things, seek adventure, and be active in their communities. Everything begins with our “ Shake it Baby ” concept. It implies two things: 1. To shake the drink up, and 2. To get out and make things happen, to do something productive and meaningful, to make a difference. We don’t want the seeds to settle in the bottle…settling implies going nowhere, being complacent. So… Be active, be mindful of your health, your family, and the world around you! I want to say my husband was very surprised over the Drink Chia . At fist my husband crinkled his nose up and was like oh boy this isn't going to taste good but as soon as he took a sip he smiled and was said "Wow this is really good." My husband drank the bottle before work and called me on his first break saying that...

I recently got a chance to try  SwirlyDo Hair Ties , on the right in the picture! I must say I really love them! They work great! I've used them at the pool while doing aqua fitness and haven't had any problems with them slipping out! They work just like they say they will! They don't leave that big bump in your hair like other hair bands, so they would be really great to use while your doing your makeup and getting ready in the morning too!!! I also got the chance to try out the  Twist-n-Roll Tweezers , on the left in the picture, and I must say it's pretty interesting.  I've never used anything like this before.  You bend the spring part in half and hold it against your skin and then roll it and it grabs the hair and pulls it out, like hundreds of little tweezers working simultaneously...  (see video below) It was kind of hard for me to get used to using at first, but I got the hang of it pretty quick.   It actually doesn't hurt much...

I was ecstatic when I heard that Boo-Boo Cover-Up accepted my offer to feature them as a review on my blog! I have read about their product on other blogs and I just had to try it for myself! For those of you who haven't heard of Boo-Boo Cover-Up, it's basically this awesome cream that helps heal minor scrapes, burns, bruises, bites, rashes, scratches, and... well you get the idea ;)  Another great thing about it is it's made right here in the USA! 0.5 oz Medium $19.99 Right now it only comes in one shade, medium, but they are coming out with fair and dark shades soon, so everyone will benefit from the "imperfection camouflage!"

This week there are quite a few decent coupons in the Coupon Gallery , depending on what you are looking for at the store this week anyway.  There seem to be less high value coupons this week than usual, but it could just be me. There are a few coupons that I wanted to point out because they may be of interest,  one is the $1 off the new Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream .  I haven't tried this product yet (I LOVE the Garnier BB Cream ), but if you're in the market for a drugstore BB Cream, you could save $1!    The other one I saw was $1 off of any Clear product at Walgreens (excluding travel sizes).  I'm personally not too fond of this brand for my hair/ scalp type (see my reviews- total care &  moisturizing dry scalp ) but if you want to give it a try yourself, might as well save a buck! Go check out the our Coupon.com gallery to find coupons for whatever you're shopping for this week! They are separated by category or ...

I found these great new Scunci, jelly-like rubber, no slip ponytail holders at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago! They are kind of weird, not what you would expect in ponytail holder.  The rubber is round, but similar in consistency to the charity bracelets that everyone buys for the breast cancer, MS, Livestrong, etc. campaigns (the little colored plastic ones... you know what I'm talking about ;) Anyway, I wasn't sure what to think of them when I saw them.  Part of me thought they would probably pull all of my hair out like a rubber band, but curiosity won me over and I bought them so I could try them out for myself! I've been using these bright Scunci bands for a few weeks now and I love them! They are smooth, so they don't catch your hair and pull it! But they are rubbery so they stay in place well, even in the swimming pool! I really like them! I like them even more than the hair band I was actually looking for when I stumbled upon these (the S...

You've probably seen the posts about the new coconut water craze spreading around the blogosphere faster than a cold in a preschool class. And I'm sure, if you're like me, you thought to yourself, "hum, that sounds pretty good, maybe I'll grab one at the store to drink before or after my next workout. Because, really, what could possibly be better for a body in training than a quick, easy, and tasty source of natural electrolytes???" Seems logical to me! So, that's exactly what I did last week when I went to the store I bought two different flavors and brands of coconut water, pineapple and pink guava, to try out.  I must say I had mixed reactions. The pineapple was the first one I tried and it was disgusting... I took one sip and that was one too many.  It was SO disgusting! It didn't taste like pineapple or coconut... it just tasted like crap (well not literally lol). I don't remember what brand it was but it was in a white box with a...

It's summertime and to me summertime means spending time outdoors, barbecues, and ice cream. You can beat the heat with Arctic Zero's Frozen Desserts Pints. Arctic Zero is one of the only desserts you'll find on the market today that can be consumed by everyone. Arctic Zero Frozen Dessert Pints are all natural, gluten free, diabetic friendly, lactose intolerant friendly, and kosher. The best part? An entire pint of Arctic Zero Frozen Dessert is only 150 calories. WOW! Still not convinced healthier ice cream is as good as regular ice cream? Check out this great review of every flavor Arctic Zero Frozen Dessert Pints has to offer by The Miracle Momma . I've been working really hard lately to make lifestyle changes in order to get healthy, fit, and more active, this includes cutting and tracking calories, exercising daily, and sharing my journey (struggle) on my new blog mypath2healthy .  But, it's products like Arctic Zero that make this journey a little les...

You may have read my previous post about the Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Total Care  samples I reviewed a few weeks ago.  If you did then you know I received the full sized Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Moisturizing Dry Scalp  shampoo & conditioner, pictured above, after writing the company about my bad experience with their Total Care products.  I am happy to say that after two weeks of using the Moisturizing Dry Scalp products I am starting to come around to the Clear brand! The Moisturizing Dry Scalp shampoo is extremely thick, which makes it easy to actually get it all the way down to your scalp where it can do it's job... moisturizing your scalp!  The conditioner is actually not as thick as the Total Care conditioner or as the Moisturizing Dry Scalp shampoo, which I found odd because usually the conditioners are more thick than the shampoos, but it is very nice... and still pretty darn think compared to any other conditioner...
