The Glass Cleaner is something I wanted because we just got a house not to long ago and I wanted to try out different products that benefit me and my family and are safe to use. It removes dirt and grease and provides a streak free finish which I love the most. I've already started using the granite cleaners which I am in love with.

I don't really have anything marble in our home, but I clean the stove top because it's black marble or at least it looks it anyways. Stove always needs a good cleaning anyways.

Nutrisystem Week Four #NSNation

Disclaimer:  I received Nutrisystem complimentary in exchange for my blogging weight loss journey.

For some of you that know I was recently on a cruise ship the week of Week 4 so I was unable to keep my process of Nutrisystem at home, but managed to try and eat healthy as much as I could on the ship, but did a bit of cheating days because it was Valentine's Day as well. I don't think it was the best time to go being on Nutrisystem in my opinion because I was away and it was just hectic to try and maintain a healthy eating and being on a tight schedule. I did have fruits during breakfast with some potatoes and I had an omelet so I was getting my protein as well. I did manage to bring some breakfast bars with me though for the remainder on my cruise ship and flight, etc. I knew you were allowed to bring food when going through security, so that was a major plus for me.

 

These were also really good to snack on when waiting for our flight as well since we had delays. I don't think that I've gained or lost any during this week because we did a lot of walking too but managed to be on excursions which was either on a boat or walking distance to and from the ports and to our destination of excursions. I felt that we got some exercise being on the ship considering how big it is. I want to look into home DVDs for exercising at home as well which would be a lot of help too. Nutrisystem has been a big improvement in my everyday life ever since starting it which I am so thankful for. It has pushed me to do a little bit of walking each day and to be able to get out of a funk mood lately. My one friend is always looking for someone to walk with too. We can't wait until summer time so we can go to the park and let our kids play and actually walk around the lake that is always something fun to do with your pets too. My dogs love to go for walks to I love to take them after breakfast I would manage to take a 15 minute walk, and same time after lunch and then dinner time depending on whether.

I was actually looking into getting surgery for weight loss. I still have yet to contact my sponsor to get more details information since I managed to hold off last year due to some depression/anxiety that was going on in my life. I've had a great 4 Week and going to be writing soon about my 5th week so be on the look out for that. 👍😊

100NATURALS Turmeric Curcumin Review

Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I received complimentary products for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

 Those of you that do not know what Turmeric is it's a spice that gives curry its yellow color. Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. I was accepted for a Campaign through Tomoson to review the 100NATURALS Turmeric Curcumin "dietary supplement" to review. I was a bit skeptical at first before trying this product because I like to read about it or ask my mom about it because she knows a lot of good sources for different supplements because we used to watch Dr. Oz a lot or she would tape the show a lot and tell me this and that, so she was really into all these types of different advances for health. It's also shows high quality studies that it has major benefits for your body and brain.

 

 Why do people take Turmeric Curcumin? Well lab studies have suggested that curcumin or turmeric might protect against types of skin diseases, Alzheimer's disease, colitis, stomach ulcers, and high cholesterol. Based on lab studies, turmeric and curcumin might also help treat upset stomach, scabies, diabetes, and viral infections.

Did you know that turmeric has been used in India for thousands of years for much more than just flavoring food? Turmeric has been proven over the years to be one of the best natural supplements you can find. I also love find it really nice that it also helps with depression as well which is always good because I suffer from anxiety/depression. Don't use turmeric if you have gallstones or bile duct dysfunction. Pregnant women shouldn't use it without their doctor's approval. In rare cases, extended use can cause stomach upset or heartburn.

 Directions: As a dietary supplement take 2 capsules, 1 or 2 times a day. For best results take 20-30 minutes before a meal or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Kasandrinos Review

"Disclaimer:  All the opinions given, good or bad, are my own. The product is only used by me or someone in my immediate family. I received this product free of charge for an exchange for my honest review and they are 100% my own opinions. I received no compensation for this review."

Kasandrinos International is a family owned business, operated by the brother and sister team, Effi and Tony Kasandrinos. Together they import the same Greek organic extra virgin olive oil they grew up on from their fathers village in Greece. The pair is passionate about health, fitness and truly great food . . . to read more about Kasandrinos click here

I was sent two products from Kasandrinos to review on my blog and the following products are Olivecado & Fig Balsamic Vinegar. I was really excited to try out the Olivecado because to me it sounded like avocado and I just thought of it as a nice Olive Oil to cook with my favorite foods. I love the fact that it's healthy and it's 100% certified organic it has non-GMO! The flavor is just beyond good it has that nutty flavor which I like and it's just a great product that I am so blessed to have it introduced to me in my every day cooking needs. 

 I decided to make my favorite Chicken Fajitas in my Slow Cooker which requires some type of Olive Oil so I decided to use my new Olivecado and mix it with the chicken to get it nice and coated. Olivecado is also good and known for great skin and hair and is a multi-use skin remedy.

 

I just poured some of the Olivecado in my slow cooker about 1/3 of it or so. I slowly poured in more if it needed more coating with the chicken. I tossed it around with my fingers to make sure it was evenly coated so it would cook with the peppers too. Then leave it on high for about 3-4 hours checking and stirring frequently. 

When everything was nicely coated and this is what it looked like after I had mixed everything together with the Olivecado. It looks delicious and it sure did taste amazing. I was really happy to be introduced to this product and company. Other ideas you can use Olivecado with is drizzling it over some vegetables before cooking them. You can add it to a smoothie or a drink "which by the way I didn't know you could do that or how that would taste, but I am willing to try it to see how it does taste". I would also recommend using it as a salad dressing too or mix it in with some type of condiment that you like. 

 

As for the Fig Balsamic Vinegar. I have not yet tried it I was so concerned and intruded on the Olivecado. We do love salads in our household, so I will be sure to use it on salad of course, and my son just loves balsamic vinegar I just won't mention the fig part. Who knows he may just love it. I personally never had fig before so I would be skeptical by trying it I'm not gonna lie, so I'm hoping there isn't a really strong taste where I can actually enjoy it. If not I know my grand-pop loves to try new things and he likes his balsamic vinegar too. 😊

Luv & Emma's Dry Pets Review

DMJ Group, Inc. was started in February 2008 by three entrepreneurial sisters.  Between the three of us, we have experience in sales and marketing as well as in finance in the service and manufacturing sectors.  Our product is named after two of the dogs in our family . . . to read more about Luv & Emma's Dry Pets click here

 

I was sent a Luv & Emma's Dry Pets Super Absorbent Microfiber Pet Towel to review on my blog. I have two dogs and a potbelly pig. The dog with the most fur is my dog Tinkerbell and she is a Pomeranian and when she gets a bath she basically looks like a rat cause all her hair is wet and she looks crazy😄

 This is the only picture I could really get of her where I knew she would sit still and that was on a chair and she is probably thinking to herself "god please help me" LOL she is my perfect little dog and she is the sweetest. This product for your pets is a absorbent microfiber towel and it is supposed to hold up to 16 ounces of water, and it dries fast as it says in the description, but with my dogs fur it was really soak and didn't really feel like it absorbed 16 ounces of water nor did it dry up really fast. 

This is a picture when she just got out when I gave her a bath. I think this would just be ideal for when maybe your out for a walk or outside when the dog is going to the bathroom and it's raining hard, etc. This would be perfect to use. These are also very great for dog parks too. If your dog decides to get there paws dirty and you can easily wipe them up using the pet towel. I just don't think these are handy for baths because mine gets really really soaked and I have to end up putting it in the dryer or let it sit out to dry for a few hours. It's neat too I can hang the pet towel on a door handle so when I need it it's handy and write there.

Garlic Gold Review & Giveaway

The story of Garlic Gold® began in an 8th grade economics class when three of my friends met with me and my father Rinaldo Brutoco, a serial entrepreneur, to learn what it took to build a business from scratch. My friends and I decided that we wanted to bring a new product to life and sell it to real customers just to prove we could do it . . . to read more about Garlic Gold click here

 

How many here are big fans of Garlic? I know I am and so is almost my entire family. We love our garlic. I love garlic when it's fresh or when it's in a jar. I've never heard of Garlic Oil before though so this was all new to me. As you can see in the picture above it's almost half gone the oil which I could kill my husband for using it without telling me. Not sure what he had made with it to use up all that but I'm sure he was satisfied because he used that much. He may of made steak season with it or something or with the chicken not really sure like I said he didn't tell me and I was kind of pissed nor did he even take a picture because he knows I get a lot of stuff to review, so shame on him!

Anyways . . . I received a few samples from Garlic Gold. I got the Garlic Gold Oil, Garlic Gold Nuggets and Garlic Gold Large. These products are also Organic which I also was a fan as well. Organic foods are really good but really expensive especially at Whole Foods Market which I love. I shop there here and there because simply it's not in my budget range. One day during the week I really want to try some spices and add in the Garlic Oil and dip it in some bread. I can just taste it in my mouth right now it would taste so delicious. Another thing I'd love to use the garlic nuggets on some baked potatoes or mashed potatoes with some butter and pepper. I think that would taste so good. I can't wait to try some of Garlic Gold recipes. My husband LOVES hummus and they have a Roasted Garlic Hummus I could totally make for him. The Warm Potato Salad with Garlic Dijon mustard looks FAB, yum so delicious. I also always put garlic in my pasta sauce too it gives it that extra flavor, but always remember to brush your teeth after eating garlic because your breath may just stink a bit😄

Janiebee Quilted Nap Mats Review & Giveaway

"Disclaimer:  All the opinions given, good or bad, are my own. The product is only used by me or someone in my immediate family. I received this product free of charge for an exchange for my honest review and they are 100% my own opinions. I received no compensation for this review."

Made in America. Boutique Quality Quilted Nap Mats, made from the finest materials and are the most luxurious mats on the market. Janiebee Quilted Nap Mat is a work of art! Our thick, custom made-toddler Nap Mats are designed to snuggle your little one for nap time, play time, tv time or anytime. Handmade in Lawrenceville, GA USA.

 I have a cousin who lives pretty far away from me and she has two girls Gabby & Lucy. I thought it would be great for her to choose one of these Nap Mats considering they are traveling right now. Joanna chose the Mermaid Nap Mat which I think is so pretty. I love the style and colors. She didn't want to just put one of the girl's names on it so she decided to go with the last name of the girls. Which is pretty cool and neat because one of the girls if they ever go in daycare or preschool they can always bring it with them and they won't loose it. I love the way it wraps up neatly so you can take it on the go or whatever you might be. Really really great for nap times for sure.

 

 (from Janiebee website)

I just wanted to show you of what it actually looks like with no one on it and how beautiful it is. I love that pink color it looks so pretty and this set up looks so comfy. I wish I was a little kid again.

 How it looks from above while Gabby is laying on it.

I thought this picture was so beautifully taken. Gabby is so pretty in this picture she is a great little girl and she is just loving her new nap mat. 

These nap mats are the best from Janiebee they are made in the USA. They are very soft, thick and very safe chemical free batting. Double thick minky pillowcase and blanket. Velcro closure on pillowcase to keep pillow secure. It's also machine washable/dryer safe. The personalized name tag is my favorite part it's embroidered name plate made of coordinating fabric and is sewn on the back bottom so it's seen when rolled up. Great gift for any girl or boy.

Squattypotty Review & Giveaway

The simple knowledge of getting our knees up while going to the bathroom made a remarkable difference. We searched and searched but we could not find a good solution for putting us into a squatting position while using our toilet . . . to read more about squattypotty click here

(from squattypotty website)

 

I received the Travel Porta-Squatty to review. I am not sure if this is the same one as the picture on there website, but I didn't see any that fit the description of what I was sent which was the Travel Porta-Squatty. Anyways this past Christmas our families always do a exchange gift the limit is $25 and we can get whatever is suitable for both men & woman, so different couples make it interesting and fun. My one cousin and his wife fixed up a big box and it was wrapped and said Open Here with an arrow pointed to the side and turns out it was one of these squattypotty and some toilet paper in the box. I thought it was hilarious and my other cousin ended up getting it since he was the first, so I knew I just had to try this out because I sometimes struggle with even going to the bathroom at times, and I feel like I strain myself, so I wanted to give this a try, and I've been told that this is very helpful the way you are supposed to sit and use your feet which even doctors recommend it.  

(from squattypotty website)

This product is really easy and durable and it lasts for awhile. I simply store mine right under wear my toilet is and it just is designed to securely just tuck back in place as is, or you can store it away in a closet whichever you prefer. I suggest putting it away if you have guest come over or whatnot. I did notice when I first used it that I felt uncomfortable while using it. You just have to get used to actually using it. My husband used it too and he said he was fine and he liked to use it. I still find times when I have to go and can't seem to actually try to use this I usually tuck it back under the toilet and try next time. Not sure if it works for everybody, but everyone has there own opinions of using it it feels like to me. I also was sent a Unicorn Gold Toilet Spray in Citrus Squeeze which smells so amazing by the way. I love it. I use it all the time.

They also have a product called Good Move!, and I really want to try it it's for people like myself that need that extra boost to go to the bathroom who have occasional constipation. I think this would benefit me a lot. I've tried a few pills and they really didn't seem to work especially Align which I was really surprised. I used collace too that works okay, but I would love to try the Good Move for sure!

Elimidrol Review

"Disclaimer:  All the opinions given, good or bad, are my own. The product is only used by me or someone in my immediate family. I received this product free of charge for an exchange for my honest review and they are 100% my own opinions. I received no compensation for this review."

At Sunrise Nutraceuticals we have a challenging and inspiring mission: to enable people to do more, feel better, and live enriched lives. This mission gives us the purpose to develop innovative products that help people around the world . . . to read more about Elimidrol click here

I was recently introduced to this company called Elimidrol which is a formula with ingredients to help promote comfort, calmness, and feelings of mental and physical wellness while providing relief for intermittent anxiety, irritability, and restlessness.

I personally suffer from anxiety which really sucks sometimes because it's like I have to rely on medication the rest of my life, and so many people suffer from it. I didn't know what anxiety felt like until I went through something after my grandmom died in 2002, and I've had it ever since, so it's been a long journey for me, and I wanted something to help me sooth that part of me, and so I thought this would help me and my sleep pattern. I am a night owl but I don't mean to be sometimes I just cannot go to bed. It was pretty bad last year, but I've been better and felt more calm since using this formula.

Daytime Elimidrol

Since taking this I've felt more calmer and my moods have been okay/so-so. It's so strange how a formula like this can help manage your every day living and the ingredients they use for it such as herbs, amino acids, minerals, and supporting nutrients. These are the key ingredients that were carefully selected to ensure safety and efficacy.

Nighttime Elimidrol

The formula is basically the same. The Nighttime Formula helps with occasional sleeplessness, while simultaneously promoting:

    Restful sleep
    Mental tranquility
    Restlessness relief
    Positive mood
    Overall well-being

Sometimes when I catch myself taking the Nighttime Elimidrol  like an hour or so before I want to go to bed. I'll watch some TV and notice or feel like I am about to dose off because I'll get really sleepy, and I think this type of product is amazing, but do I want to buy it constantly when the product is empty that is the question. I don't think I could financially afford it.

Ona Treats Review

Chris started Ona Treats in 2012 with his wife Anna. In their journey to finding better health in their own lives Ona was born.  Creating is what Chris enjoys best.  Whether it be developing new recipes in the kitchen, making spreadsheets, . . . to read more about Ona Treats click here

I was sent 4 sampled bars of Ona Treats to review on my blog. I was curious about Ona Treats so I wanted to give them a try. Knowing that there are tons of healthy bars out there you just never know what you might fall in love with, and sharing them with your family is the best. I know my son would always want to try something new if I tell him too because you never know if you might like it or not. Me and my son are both picky eaters and my husband he just likes anything. I received 2 Ona Cookies and 2 Ona Bars. The flavors of the Cookies I got are Maple Pecan & Brownie. For the Ona Bars I received Honey Nut & Chocolate.

My husband is always making his lunch for work and I usually make it sometimes, but mostly he does it. He likes when I receive healthy and good treats to review and so he decided to take the Maple Pecan Ona Cookies. Which I thought we were going to share the cookies so I can experience the taste too, but he most of forget like most men do. 

 The Ona Cookies at first looked like a Ona bar in my opinion. I guess I wasn't exactly there to encounter what the texture was like or anything, but it was similar to what the brownie cookie looked like because they are chewy and don't have that crunch texture. The reason why I wanted to try these because they looked really good and I love pecans and I just thought it would be a nice chewy and rich flavor for me. My husband really enjoyed it he said and he said they were really buttery. I probably wouldn't have liked the buttery taste though. These cookies are Grain Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free and no refined sugars. Which sounds great to me nice healthy snacks for your family.

 (from Ona website)

I didn't get to take pictures of my brownie cookies because I was actually away at a doctors visit and just put them in my bag not and munched on them as a snack. These were really delicious and chewy as well. I love that they are made with Almond Flour too. I just didn't really care for the walnuts. I'm not a walnut person when it's in my brownies. I know I would have LOVED to have tried the Ona Chocolate Chip Cookies. They sound amazing!

Sparkle Lake Jewelry Review

Jessie Leon owns Sparkle Lake Jewelry on Etsy!

I recently came across Sparkle Lake Jewelry on Etsy and fell in love with some of her jewelry. One in particular called Gold Boho Mussel Shell Lariat Necklace and the Boho Mussel shell Earrings. It looks something similar to the earrings so it's the best that I can describe them. She makes her jewelry handmade and that is what makes it very different and beautiful. I love handmade jewelry it's very time consuming to the artist and I admire that and they do one heck of a great job at doing it because that is there passion.

I really love these earrings they aren't to long and just my style. They are very pretty because they have a beautiful color bronze look and I like that a lot. These are super light weight and it feels like I do not have anything on my ears to be exact. I can't wait to take these with me on my Cruise.

My full look of the necklace & earrings on. I will probably wear it with a better shirt next time maybe in black or something that can stand out much a little better, but overall I like it and it looks pretty on me.

I also got a pair of the Long Boho Lucite Feather Earrings with Sparkly Brown czech Bead to review too. I am debating on what to wear with these. I have not yet tried them on. I love the middle bead connected to the gold. I'm not to sure if I actually like the feather earrings. I'm a picky person when it comes to jewelry that is for sure. Sparkle Lake Jewelry has some great stuff for sure!
