Life wtr is another reverse osmosis purified water with added electrolytes that has nearly the same price tag as natural mineral water...  Why is this? The art installations on the bottles are vibrant, making it stand out on shelves. But what makes it cost so much? It does taste amazing, nearly as crisp and delicious as my favorite water so far, Icelandic Glacial. So, maybe there's something to this reverse osmosis vs. whatever they do to purify the cheap Wal-mart water?! 

I had the great joy of randomly bumping into this company on Instagram, where they offered to send me a few free bottles of their water to see how I liked it.  I must say I absolutely love it, it's like pure joy bottled!  Aspira Pura is an amazingly crisp water that I just couldn't get enough of. Which is most likely due to the reverse osmosis process that adds the minerals and electrolytes, which regular purified water doesn't have, including Calcium Chloride, Potassium Bicarbonate, and Magnesium Chloride.  Another great feature of Aspira Pura is the bottles, which are BPA free. I've found through trial and error that this means that even when they are shipped in the heat your water won't get that plastic taste... if you drink cheap Wal-mart water you know what I'm talking about.  Depending where you look, this water will run you about the same price / mL as Icelandic Glacial or LIFEWTR, but that's because you're getting the same great minerals, electr...

SPIbelt is a product, brand, and company I really love to get excited about because not only do they make a great product, but they are much more than the creative, cute, and colorful belts they have designed!  Made in Austin, Texas, SPIbelts, which may seem small from the outside, can hold your cell phone, keys, and ID all without giggling around while you're walking, jogging, or running! The SPIbelts are specially designed so that the pouch is slightly compressed so it is held tight to the body to minimize any bouncing, so even when it's full, you can hardly tell it's there! You can use your SPIbelt for your phone, keys, etc while exercising, like I mentioned before, or they can be used to carry inhalers, EpiPens, etc, on a daily basis.  They also have kid sized belts, they even have ones that are specially designed to hold insulin pumps. SPIbelts are allowing diabetic children who have insulin pumps to run around and be normal kids, because with thes...

If you read my previous post about Trim Energy and Go Greens , you know that I recently received a great package of Healthy To Go products to try out and giveaway on this blog.  My favorite thing about these products is that the ones that are okay for the whole family are noticeably marked "Family Approved," which makes it easy for both my daughter, who is eight, and me to tell which products are okay for her and which are just for Mom (usually the ones with caffeine that are directed towards energy or weight loss rather than general health and wellness). One product that actually isn't marked "Family Approved" but says that it's safe for children and adults over the age of four, are the VitaRocks , pictured above!  They are my daughter's absolute favorite vitamins ever! She couldn't get enough of these things!  They are similar to Pop Rocks in that they pop and snap in your mouth and they taste just like candy! She had a g...

If you've seen my pictures, you know I'm pretty fair skinned.  My daughter on the other hand has lovely dark Italian skin and makes fun of me for being "electric white" lol.  (Yes, I get picked on by an eight year old... sad, I know!) So, I was extremely excited when I heard that Fake Bake, a company that has not only perfected self tanning, but makes products that are paraben free and made in the USA, was working with bloggers!!! I was even more excited when they accepted my offer to do a review of one of their products!!! I was shocked when I used Fake Bake's Beyond Bronze Self-Tanning Mousse for the first time.  It didn't stink, it didn't stain, and it dried really quickly! Plus, it was really easy to use! It's color allows you to see where you have applied it, and the smooth mousse formula allows you to apply it like a lotion. Plus, it felt great on my skin! My absolute favorite part of this amazing Fake Bake product was that I didn't lo...

Just got my Beyond Bronze self tanning mousse by Fake Bake in the mail today! Used it tonight! All I have to say so far is <3 it!!! Review and giveaway will be coming soon!

I received Sibu balancing facial cleanser, hydrating serum, and replenishing night cream in the mail today! Can't wait to try them out! Review will be posted soon!

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!" Say good bye to walking around with bright pink calamine lotion or the white/ green ointments to heal your stings, burns, etc! Now you can have effertlessly perfect skin from head to toe, or at least that's what everyone will think, thanks to Boo-Boo Cover-Up! And with it's amazing combination of aloe, chamomile, gr...
