Life and Food Garcinia Cambogia Supreme Supplements

***** I received these at a reduced price for my unbiased review. All opinions here are 100% my own.

I started a weight loss journey in January when I went for my routine doctor visit. I am extremely overweight and have hypertension. Being that I am now in my early 50's I felt that if I didn't make some big changes in my lifestyle aka my eating I wasn't going to be around as long as I would like to.

So I started on a better eating plan and found a way to track my exercise and my calorie intake and began my journey. Its been good but I felt like I wasn't losing it quickly enough. Being older and menopausal my metabolism has slowed down. It will take me twice as long to lose a pound as it will a women in her 20's or 30's. That is just how nature works. So I decided to take a supplement to try and boost my metabolism some and maybe see better results.

Thats when I was approached by Life and Food to review their supplements. I have been taking these pills for about a week now and I have lost 2 pounds. I am not hungry between meals so I am less likely to snack on something without really thinking about it. They are allowing me the latitude to make better eating and snacking choices because I am not having any cravings.

The goal my doctor and I established at the end of January when I saw her, was to lose a pound a week. I revisit her in June at the six month point and if I stay at a pound a week I should lose 25lbs. So far since I started in January I have lost 11 lbs so I believe I will hit my target and maybe go beyond it. I plan to continue to take these supplements to help me obtain my goal. If you are curious about supplements and want to try some I think these are the ones you should get. They have no artifical ingredients and no soy, dairy, seafood, wheat,or peanuts and they seem to be very gentle on the system. No jitters or anything like that. You can purchase them on Amazon.com

100% Non-Protein Spiking Pure Whey Protein

Today I am doing a review on 100% Non-Protein Spiking Pure Whey Protein Isolate. What a mouthful that is lol. It really needs to have a simpler name but that is what they call it.

I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed here are 100% my own


I am not a bodybuilder or an athlete, I am simply an older woman on a weight loss journey. Over the years I have been told that a diet high in lean protein and low in fat and carbs is better for you. When I was asked to try and review this Whey Protein Isolate, I jumped at the chance. I wanted to see for myself if a powder that is high in protein and low in carbs, sugar, cholesterol and calories would keep me satisfied as a meal.

I have to say that it does indeed keep me satisfied. I had it mixed with 8oz of 2% milk instead of eating lunch and it actually kept me full for a good 5 hours. Usually when I eat lunch, I have more calories and in 2 or 3 hours I'm hungry. I have to snack on a piece of fruit or a yogurt to get me through til dinner. I was really surprised that I didn't have to after drinking this.

I had the vanilla one which tastes pretty good. Now I'm curious as to how the dutch chocolate one tastes as well and may have to plunk down some cash and try it out. I noticed my energy level increased about an hour after drinking it as well. I sometimes get tired during the day and find myself dozing in front of the computer but I haven't the two days that I drank this. It could be coincidence but I don't think so.

I like that it has 25 grams of protien, only 110 calories, no sugar, no fat and very little cholesterol. It has 130 mg of calcium and only 51mgs of sodium so its pretty good for you. I can't attest to the muscle building attributes other than I know if you don't eat enough protien when you are dieting, you can lose muscle mass instead of fat. Ingesting something with a high level of protein should help to keep that from happening.

Beautease Argan Oil Review is now live. Great stuff I love it.


I received this product at a reduced price for my unbiased review. All opinions are 100% my own.

I love this stuff! Thats pretty much straight to the point isn't it? I have extremely long hair, I'm talking down my back with some of it touching the top of my rear end. I haven't had hair this long since I was a little girl. I also have damaged hair, because well, I dye it alot. I know in these photo's I have gray but that is because I am between dyes right now. I usually color my  hair about every 2 months and yes that gray does crop up quickly.

So, I was asked to try this Argan oil hair care to see how I like it. When I was going to the salon to get my hair colored and cut, they always put some argan oil in my hair as they were blow drying it. I even bought a bottle so that I could have it here in the house in between salon visits. Well two things have happened, the first is that line of hair care products was no longer carried by my salon and then my income level changed and I was no longer able to afford $150 every other month to spend on color, highlights and a cut.

In the last 2 years I have not cut my hair, I have colored using dye that I get at Walgreens and I have not had any argan oil. I have noticed the dye really damages your hair. I use conditioner and sometimes even a deep conditioner and the ends still feel really dry and my ends keep splitting. I put this argan oil on and I immediately notice a softness and a sheen to my hair that it was lacking before. The oil seems to absorb into my hair so it doesn't look greasy, just soft and shiney.

I was impressed with the amount of product you get for your money. Its a fairly large bottle compared to other argan oil bottles I have received. It has a nice little flip spout too that will make it easy not to pour out too much. You do have to be careful as it is oil and on the thin side so it does pour out quickly. I like to tip the bottle and get a little in the palm of my hand and then keep going until I have the amount I want to use.

Its very easy to use. I used an amount, about maybe the size of a quarter and then smoothed it over my hair. Because my hair is drier on the ends than the top, I put more of it down at the ends. Once I had it worked into my hair I combed it and styled it as usual. It only adds a minute or two to your hair routine and its mild enough that you can use it every day. I am very happy with this product and I urge you to try it if you have difficult hair. You can also use it as a moisturizer on your skin. I tried that as well and my arms and hands are very smooth with no dry spots. This is definitely a good product to have on hand.

The Desheddinator 2 in 1 groomer is amazing!



I received this item complimentary in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed here are my own.

I cannot stress enough how much I love this grooming tool!

I have owned animals all my life and have used all types of combs, brushes and shedding blades. This one is truly the best I have used. It has a very comfortable handle, and easily flips from a shedding blade to a comb with a flick of a switch. I tried it on my cat first and although SHE didn't care much for it, I loved the way it went through her fur. It even took two mats out that were at the base of her tail quickly and as far as I can tell painlessly.
That is Cali's hair that was removed after only a few quick strokes with the Desheddinator.

Next I went outside and used it on the neighbors two dogs. Unfortunately, I no longer have a dog as I lost my Bear 2 years ago, but these two hang out around our house so much I now call them my dogs that are not my dogs. Both dogs are completely outside dogs and are brother and sister. They are McNab's which are sort of like Border Collies. Ricky has short fur while Lucy has thick long fur with an undercoat. Ricky didn't care for it much although he was a good boy and sat still for me to use it. It's more a he dosen't like to be groomed thing than anything to do with the comb. It went through his fur easily and it did remove some of the dead hair from his coat. Now Lucy LOVED it. She actually started licking my hand and pushing herself up against me to be groomed before I even started the video. She had a ton of hair removed her coat.

I think this is a marvelous comb / deshedder for any type of animal. I would recommend it if you have shedding cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, or whatever you need to regularly brush and keep clean. It removes hair quickly and is very comfortable to use.

AmaziPro8 Fashion Jewelry Set Pink color

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SSPUS92/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_5                                        I received this set at a discounted price for my honest opinion. The opinions expressed here are my own.

I was very impressed with the quality of this jewelry. This is not your standard "junk" jewelry. The clasp on the necklace is a sturdy lobster claw type and the backings on the earrings are a comfortable yet strong rubber back. The bracelet is of a thick metal with yet another strong clasp so you don't have to worry about it popping open and falling off your wrist. The stones are a very bright and pretty pink and appear to be set well into each piece of jewelry.
The first thing I noticed about the bracelet is that it looked very small in the package. It does open a bit wider than it appears but I am a larger lady and the bracelet was too small. I could get it on and clasp it shut firmly but it squeezed my wrist and I had to take it off right away. It was just too uncomfortable for me. If you have smaller wrists or if this is a gift for a little girl however, it should be just fine.
The earrings and necklace fit me fine and I like them very much. The earrings have long posts that fit easily into my ears. I haven't worn earrings in about a year and my holes were closed but I had no problem pushing the posts through. The earring back fits the earring snugly but were very comfortable. After I had them on I pretty much forgot they were in my ears. That is how comfortable they are. The necklace too was easy to put on although when I went to take it off I had to ask my husband for help. I had a hard time opening the clasp from behind my neck because it is small and I was afraid I would break the chain. My  husband who is not used to unhooking jewelry got it undone in just a few seconds so I would say it is easy to take off.

I like this set and think it is pretty. Its not really something I would purchase for myself as its not really my style however it is something I would buy as a gift and feel good about it. Im sure anyone who received it would enjoy it for a long time. It also comes with a free diamond headphone anti dust plug for a cellphone, but since I don't have a smartphone, this little exta was pretty useless for me but maybe I could find some kind of use for it.

Even Glow Vitamin C Serum by Valentia Skin Care Review

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HJD8NLY/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1425260624&sr=1&keywords=vitamin+c+serum

I received this product from Valentia Skin Care Review for free in exchange for my honest opinion of their serum. The first thing that I noticed was how beautiful the box it comes in is. I know that its only a box but presentation is everything and this box makes the serum look very high end and trendy.

When I opened the box and removed the bottle I noticed it was wrapped in shrink wrap. I did have trouble getting the shrink wrap off and had to go grab a knife to cut a strip so I could remove it from the bottle. I used the eyedropper applicator and squirted some into my hand. I used an amount about equivalent to the size of a dime. I did not smell any type of scent at first but when I brought my palm up to my nose I could smell the slight aroma of oranges. It is very pleasant and not strong at all. The color of the serum itself is a pale orange so its almost like putting orange juice on your face.

I had prepped my face according to the directions before applying the serum. Basically you just have to have a freshly washed face that has been patted dry before you put the serum on. I dotted it across my forehead, around the outer eyes careful to keep it away from the eye itself, on my nose, chin, and cheeks. The remainder I put onto my neck. I went back and rubbed it into my skin and noticed that it absorbs quickly and it doesn't feel greasy. Then I just waited to see what would  happen.

Right away I noticed that the skin on my face felt much smoother. Actually I was surprised that it worked so quickly. My skin felt better and it really did have a healthy glow. After using it for a week, I have noticed that the crows feet around my eyes do not look as deep as they used to and the little neck waddle I hated doesn't seem to be as prominent as it was before I started.

I am very happy with this serum. I believe it does what it claims to do and it makes me feel better about my skin. I'm 53  years old and beginning to show my age with wrinkles. Like most women I am battling the aging process with as many weapons as I can. This is going to be a necessity in my daily facial routine.
