Water Away by Zhou Nutrition

I never used to have problems with water weight, but the older I'm getting, the more my body is retaining water.  I got this product mainly because I knew I would be travelling via airplane and my ankles swell like crazy.  I took my trip and what do you know, my ankles were swelling like crazy.  I took two of the water pills per day.  One in the morning and one in the afternoon.  I didn't see a drastic change at first but by the second day, the swelling went down.  I was prescribed lasix by my doctor, but it kind of scares me.  I took it before and got dehydrated.  With Water Away, it was gentle enough that I didn't end up drinking a ton of water just so I wouldn't end up dehydrated.

Water Away is made up of natural ingredients such as Vitamin B-6, Dandelion, Potassium, Green Tea, Cranberry, Vitamin B-6, Juniper Berry, Bucchu Leaves, Apple Cider Vinegar, Corn Silk, Paprika and Watermelon. Usually after taking the second dose, I feel energetic and the pain from the swelling in my feet disappears.  You can order this product and know it's risk free because they have a 100% money back guarantee.  Another awesome thing is this product is made in the USA.

Garcinia PLUS Cleanse Fast Fat Loss Kit Review and Giveaway

Garcinia is a super hot product for weight loss that even Dr. Oz recommends.  It's excellent for jump starting any weight you may be trying to lose.  Combine that with the Slender Cleanse, and you have an excellent duo. Both help to suppress your appetite while helping the pounds just fall off. Make sure you check with your doctor to find out if this is something that might be right for you. I used to eat every night before bed.  When I first started taking Garcinia, my cravings for food before bed just went away. 

I do have to admit that I was inconsistent with the cleanse part of it. The cleanse side of things is supposed to get the toxins out of your body.  I took it for two days and maybe I didn't give it enough time to work but it didn't seem like it did much for me.  That being said, please remember that everyone is different and everyone loses weight at a different rate.  You should drink a lot of water while taking both the Garcinia and the Cleanse.

Talk to Wormy App by Tangled Wires review and giveaway

As grown ups, we have Siri for our iPhone.  Android users have similar apps, now it's our children's turn to have their own app.  Talk to Wormy works kind of in the way Siri does for the iPhone.  Wormy helps kids with spelling and sentence structure.  I would say the average age would be maybe four to seven but older kids and adults alike will have fun with this app too.  We are living in a world where English is being taught as a second language.  Yes, Wormy is geared toward children but the images are very colorful and fun.  Comment on this review and you could win a copy of this app for your little ones.  Good luck!

Vitamin C Serum by Havens Arc

Havens Arc has formulated a vegan product made Vitamin C serum with Hyaluronic Acid, Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E. It's made to fade sunspots, prevent UV damage as well as hydrate your skin and plump it so you have a more even texture.  It does work and if there was anything I could change about the product, I would make it a lotion instead.  However, I understand that if it was in a lotion, some of it's properties wouldn't be as effective.  It has been proven to restore sunburn cells by 96%. In the world of me, that's pretty impressive.

I don't have very many blemishes on my skin, so I can't say whether or not it stands up to that claim, but it does make my skin glow.  It does absorb into my skin very quickly and leaves it feeling supple. The one very big plus with this product is that it isn't sticky like most other vitamin C serums.  I really does absorb into your skin very quickly. It is rather thin as far as a serum goes.  Some people like it, some people don't BUT the way I got around that is that I added it to my daily moisturizer.  It's like heaven now.

Total Repair Eye Care by Amara Organics

I love the packaging on this product.  My daughter is all about organic everything, so this product finally ended up in her hands.  Amara Organics Total Repair Eye Gel is natural, vegan and cruelty free. She's in her early twenties, so for her it's not about turning back time, it's more about moisturizing her beautiful and young skin.  Yes, I am jealous. lol  She is a first time mom working two jobs so yes, her eyes do get puffy and the Total Repair Eye Gel worked wonders.  However, she uses it as a moisturizer and her skin looks amazing.

I also used it and found that it did help with puffiness and the dark circles under my eyes.  It really did help remove the puffiness.  The part that worked well for me that my daughter didn't have to deal with was it plumped my skin.  I had more even skin texture which I loved.  This particular eye serum is made with Matrixyl 3000, plant stem cells, peptides , vitamin E and hyaluronic acid.  If ever you aren't satisfied with your purchase, Amara Organics provides a 365 days a year money back guarantee.  No questions asked and you don't even have to return the bottle.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Adeline Skin Care

Here is the third Adeline Skin Care product I've tried.  Adeline's Hyaluronic Acid Serum is just as dependable as the rest of the line and you see the results relatively quickly.  I noticed a difference not only in the fine lines around my eyes, but also in the texture of my skin.  My skin seemed more smooth and toned.  As I've said before, hyaluronic acid is very hot right now. And in my opinion, Adeline is one of the best skin care lines I've ever put on my face.  I use the organic eye serum, the hyaluronic acid serum and the moisturizer two times a day.  They make my skin feel amazing.  I have been using this serum for a little over a month and I still have over 3/4 of the bottles left.  A little really does go a long way.  This serum is well worth the money.  If you are a vitamin kind of person, you will be happy to know that this hyaluronic serum contains vitamins A, C, D and E.  With all of these vitamins, you'll be surprised at just how hydrated your face feels.  I know this Vegas heat is brutal on skin, but I was stunned to find out just how much.  Adeline has done an amazing job on my skin.

Organic Eye Serum by Adeline

Like many men and women, I will go down kicking and screaming in the fight against mother nature.  One of the most trusted lines of skincare I have found is the Adeline Skin Care line.  This serum is one of the best I've ever tried.  I use it with the moisturizer and the Hyaluronic acid.  The three products together are phenomenal. This organic eye serum in particular is a gel.  It is not sticky like a lot of serums are.  Your face will drink in the serum and within days, I personally saw a difference.  I have noticed the fine lines are just a little bit more fine. I'm not going to lie and say they are all gone but they definitely are less noticeable now. I look forward to seeing how much my appearance is going to improve over time. I find that with the puffiness, the dull skin (mine now has a glow to it) and the dark circles under my eyes have decreased greatly.

Adeline uses ingredients in their products that really do work.  For instance, the serum has cucumber extract, chamomile extract, sunflower seed oil, aloe barbadensis leaf juice. Each brings it's own awesomeness to the product as a whole. It has a light cucumber scent that you will love.  It's not an offensive smell but a light airy scent and feel to it. Don't take my word alone for it.  If for some reason you find you don't like something about the product, they will give you a 100% money back guarantee.

Omega 3 Lemon Flavored Fish Oil Supplement by Earthwell

I buy a LOT of fish oil supplements because not only the adults in the family but our dogs take them as well.  I am confident in saying when it comes to these particular supplements, I can tell a high quality product when I take it.  Hands down, this is the BEST fish oil supplement I have taken to date.  We have an older dog and the reaction she had to them was phenomenal. She has stiff joints and after about 3 days of taking these fish oil capsules, she is able to move around a great deal easier than before.  The other three dogs we have also take them.  We have a dachshund and anyone who has a dachshund knows they are prone to hip problems.  She loves the taste as well as reaps the benefits of these capsules.  Their coats are shiny and there is just satisfaction in hearing them make that 'pop' sound when they bite down on the capsule. I know they are getting the nutrients they need.

Now on to the adults in the house. Fish oil is very good for your cardiovascular system, mental clarity, helps with inflammation and my favorite, makes your skin and hair look amazing.  The one thing that is different about these supplements as opposed to others I've tried in the past is these are lemon flavored.  They really do taste very good with no fishy aftertaste. Another reason I personally take fish oil is because my doctor recommended it for my cholesterol problem.  Since it's hereditary and I'm not a large woman, my cholesterol can't be controlled through diet.  I do take a cholesterol medication but I also take the fish oil to help bring down my cholesterol count.

I do recommend if you are going to try a fish oil supplement, try this one first.  You'll save a lot of money and you won't want to change brands.  I love it and will continue to buy this brand.  The bottle was huge and contained 180 pills.  A lot of bang for your buck!

Caralluma Fimbriata by Rami Naturals

Caralluma Fimbriata by Rami Naturals is a supplement that is meant to suppress your appetite.  First, let me say that Rami Naturals really does make effective supplements.  Caralluma Fimbriata is no different.  It's a supplement that will yield results in the shortest amount of time to safely lost weight.

I'm a snacker late at night.  It is always so hard to break my nighttime habit which is why I needed the extra boost.  I couldn't believe it when I was no longer hungry at night. When I stop snacking at night, the weight seems to fall off.  Well, not fall off but slowly but surely it drops off which is the most healthy way to do it anyway.  These supplements combined with water and exercise has done a remarkable job.

Forskolin by Rami Naturals

Forskolin by Rami Naturals is one of those supplements you take that you don't even realize is making you feel better until you stop one day and notice that you have more energy, you're fuller quicker, and you notice a couple pounds gone.  All of these are what I found when looking back to do the review on this product.  I did lose about one pound per week.  I am prone to bladder infections and didn't have even one while taking this supplement which was about 35 days.  I always have a hard time sleeping and I found it was easier to fall asleep at night.  It still took about an hour but that's so much better than half the night.  If you have problems with high blood pressure, this supplement has been known to reduce your blood pressure.  I don't have blood pressure issues, so I can't say one way or another if this is true.

I do recommend trying Forskolin, it really does work.  If you would like to purchase Forskolin by Rami Naturals, click here.

Under Eye Gel by True Skin Care

Soothing Eye Gel by True Skin Care is one of those marvels that will sooth your puffy eyes and reduce inflammation.  I found that no matter how tired I am, no matter how dark the circles under my eyes, this eye gel makes my eyes look wide awake and dewy.  I've noticed a reduction in wrinkles and a brighter complexion.  I love that the packaging is sleek and reminds me of a spa.  This is a high quality eye gel that is really worth the price.

To me, what makes this eye serum better than all the others is that it's made with Vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid (which is huge right now), Green tea, cucumber, peptides and caffeine. I know these ingredients individually are proven to work.  Pair them together and you have a product that is spectacular. When I need extra hydration, I use the eye gel as a moisturizer.  Just the few times I've used it on my neck, I've noticed a difference already.  My skin feels tighter and more nourished.  I will continue to use this products because I love it!  It really works.

Adeline Anti-Aging Moisturizer by Adeline Skin Care

If you're like me and are looking for ways to reverse the aging process, or at the very least try to make it stop without plastic surgery, Adeline's Anti-Aging Moisturizer will end up being your very best friend. Before, my skin always seemed so dry.  From the moment I applied this moisturizer on my face, I could feel an instant difference.  I have been using it just over a month and my skin feels so soft, smooth and above all else, hydrated.  I love that Adeline's Anti-Aging Moisturizer is for all skin types, is made with vitamin C, 3 different peptides and Matrixyl 3000. It is safe for both men and women and is made in the USA.  I know that I make it a point to buy American made products every chance I get.

The first time I applied it to my skin, I noticed a sweet peppermint smell.  The moisturizer was a very luxurious lotion and wasn't too thin but at the same time wasn't too thick.  If I could have made a consistency for my perfect moisturizer this product would be it.  There is nothing I can say that I dislike about this moisturizer.  I feel like I am doing something amazing for my skin each time I apply it to my skin. You also don't have to use very much.  Just one pump in the morning and one in the afternoon.  Pair the skin care product with plenty of water each day, and your skin will be glowing! Using it twice a day,  I still have more than half of the bottle left after using for 35 days.

Adeline Skin Care is so confident in the products in their skincare line that if you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, they will reimburse you for the price of their products AND you can keep the bottle you bought.
