Arnica Gel for Fibromyalgia Relief

I just bought this Arnica Zim's MAX gel ($9.99 @ CVS) in hopes of some kind of relief of my Fibromyalgia pain... you know the pain I'm talking about? The feeling like you're bruised from head to toe, even the slight touch from the shower water, your clothes, laying down, a person, ya know, pretty much anything, is just agonizing!!!

I have tried, what my rheumatologist tells me is "everything out there that they recommend for Fibromyalgia," that includes creams, gels, pills, you name it... plus pretty much every reasonable thing I have found on the lovely internet, to absolutely no avail... So when I heard about Arnica creams and gels I figured, what's the point? Probably won't work anyway, and put off trying it for a really long time. (Because it used to be expensive and hard to find.)

Let me just say that this stuff worked almost instantly! I was SO excited!!! It has a bit of a smell to it but it goes away pretty quickly (either that or I got used to it really fast lol). The Arnica Zim's MAX is really great because it's not sticky, greasy, or oily either, like some other gels I've used in the past. It absorbs very quickly and starts working fast.

However, if the odor is a big issue for you, there are some brands of arnica creams and gels that claim to be unscented, I can't give you my word that they actually are odorless because I haven't personally used them, but Arnicare by Boiron is one that says they are unscented and their website has a $2 coupon (which they email you) and with the coupon it brings the price down to about the same as the Zim's, but the Arnicare bottles are 2.5 or 2.6 oz vs Zim's 4oz bottle, so you're spending a little more per oz, but it may be worth it if you have a sensitivity to smells.

I just want to say that I used the Zim's gel over 3 hours ago and it's still working. I feel so much better. Of course, it's not a cure all, it's not going to get rid of all of your pain and make you feel perfect, but I'm not in agonizing pain just from wearing a nightgown... I'm not curled up in bed just praying for the pain to stop. It's brought the pain down to a manageable level... And it's the first thing that's managed to do that. For $10, you might as well try it out too... hopefully it will work for you!

And just FYI, this is NOT a sponsored post, I just felt this needed to be shared! Hope it helps!

VigLink - for my bloggers!

VigLink is a way for blogs to make money, especially when google is messing up your AdSense (like they're doing to me for some reason). From what I understand they create hyperlinks on thing within your blog that you have talked about, but may not have thought to link to the company's site, because maybe they weren't your main focus. Then they give you $ for the traffic that those links (and some that you have already made) get. In 2015 I made over $700 with VigLink, mainly due to a few of my Christmas shopping posts. So they are totally legit! And you can make way more money than with AdSense (or at least I have in the past). Plus you can use both at the same time, so you can earn money from VigLink's links and from the ads that AdSense puts up. Win - Win!

Chobani Greek Yogurt: Recipes, Review, & Giveaway- Oh My!

I'll be honest, I had never tried Greek yogurt before Chobani sent me a box of 12 various flavors of their single serving cups, but I had heard great things! So I was super excited when I opened the box to see all the great flavors. There was lemon, peach, pineapple, strawberry, black cherry, strawberry banana, blueberry, blood orange, vanilla, plain, passion fruit, and mango, most of which were fat free! Let me tell you the hype about Greek yogurt, Chobani in particular, is spot on! This yogurt is WONDERFUL! After I ate the strawberry single serve while my daughter was at my parents' for the weekend, I had to go out and get a big 32oz tub of it, because I knew she would LOVE it, and let me tell you, we've about finished it already, in addition to the 16oz chocolate vanilla chunk I bought, and all the single serve cups Chobani sent! It's THAT good!!! My daughter and I really enjoy yogurt and granola for breakfast, so I went and bought some delicious granola
