My Review


I have been wanting to try out a veggie spiralizer for months now and I am so glad that I was able to review this product.  I felt like a little giddy girl on Christmas Eve the first, second, and even third time I used this product! There is just so many different things I can make with it and I can get really creative with what I make (which I love). Also, the fact that it is super quick and easy to use definitely makes me love it even more!  If I am in a rush to eat I can use the spiralizer quickly and I can eat my veggies raw! So I don't even have to cook any of the veggies/fruit that I use. So that cuts out any cooking time. So easy and so simple!

I would rate this product a 3 out of 5. The only reason I am rating it a 3 is because when I received the product it already had 2 blades inserted in it. I couldn't get them out and my husband had to get one out for me and he cut himself in the process. So I have 2 different blades in it right now but those 2 blades are the only ones that I can use because I can't get them out. They are too hard to get out and I feel like I will definitely cut myself. I really wish they would have made it simple to switch the blades. That is the only downfall with this product. 

I love using my Prefer Green Veggie Spiralizer when I am making my Quinoa Bowls because I love having all sorts of different textures mixed into it. My most recent Quinoa Bowl was super yum!! I ended up using the spiralizer for my zucchini. 


I grabbed a zucchini, bowl, knife, and handy dandy Prefer Green Spiralizer.





I cut off the one end of the zucchini. I knew that I wasn't going to use the whole zucchini that is why I only cut off the one end. 



I placed the zucchini into the spiralizer. I held it in one hand, pushed the zucchini down and twisted counter clockwise (it shouldn't matter which way you twist it). 


This is what my zucchini looked like after using the Spiralizer.



 The beautiful zucchini all cut up perfectly.


I didn't cook the zucchini at all. I ate it raw and I took one tablespoon of almond butter popped it in the microwave for a few seconds to get it to become a little runny. I then poured it over top of the zucchini and that was zucchini seasoning! It might not sound good, but oh by its delectable. 



I then put all of my Quinoa bowl ingredients together. 





It tasted absolutely amazing!!! 

So go and grab one today on Amazon.
 It is on sale for $10.99 right now too!!

Wanna know whats great to have when your on a diet??


OmniGreen Labs Dietary Fiber Supplement


For anyone on a diet or for anyone in general FIBER is a must to have in your daily diet. Did you know that most Americans don't even come close to having enough fiber in their daily lives?  The normal amount of fiber we should be taking in is based off of how many calories we eat a day. For every 1000 calories we have we should be digesting 14 grams of fiber. For example, if you are eating 2000 calories a day then you should be consuming 28 grams of fiber daily. 
How many grams of fiber a day are you consuming?? If you aren't sure then chances are you aren't getting the proper daily amount of fiber in your diet. 




Health Perks of Fiber


Normalizes your bowel movements. Fiber helps to increase the weight and size of your stool. It can help runny stools by absorbing water and adding bulk to the stool. It can help hard bulky stools by making it easier to pass.

Lowers cholesterol levels. Soluble Fiber can help lower blood cholesterol levels by lowering low-density lipoprotein..which is bad cholesterol levels. Studies have also shown that there might be a link to other heart health benefits. Like reducing inflammation and blood pressure.

Helps maintain your bowel health. Who doesn't like to have a normal regular bowel schedule? I know I do. Having a high fiber diet may also help lower your risk of getting hemorrhoids and small pouches in your colon. Just for those reasons alone I am all about eating a high fiber diet!

Helps control blood sugar levels. Soluble fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar and help improve improve blood sugar levels. 

Can help you achieve a healthy weight. Eating high fiber foods is a win-win for anyone on a diet. These types of foods normally make you feel full and feel satisfied longer than other foods. They also can take longer to consume and have fewer calories for the same volume of food. 




Facts about this supplement:


If you are new with taking a fiber supplement then you should always start off slow. If you jump into taking a large amount right away you could be dealing with gas, bloating, cramping, etc. So start off slow!! You know your body up the anty as soon as you feel comfortable enough to.

This product only uses ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS!! Let me say that again, ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS!! Which is literally one ingredients. Natural Wheat Dextrin. 
Natural Wheat Dextrin- A versatile product that is primarily used in the textile, adhesive and food industries, and as a dietary fiber to improve digestion. It is used globally and has many commercial uses, along with various health benefits. 

This product is Gluten Free. Yes I know it can be confusing since it is made from natural WHEAT dextrin, but wheat dextrin is gluten free when it is made from potato, corn, arrowroot, tapioca, or rice. 

Sugar-free.

Each Serving provides 16% of your daily fiber intake. 

This product will dissolve completely in water and is a non-thickening formula.

Flavor and Scent free! (To me that is one of the best benefits from this product.)

This product is made in a FDA approved and c-GMP Certified Facility. 

The average customer reviews for this product on Amazon is an awesome 5 star rating. That alone speaks volumes about this product.


Serving Sizes


Before 4 years- Consult a healthcare professional before deciding

4-11 years- 1 spoonful (4 grams) once daily

12 years to an adult- 1 spoonful (4 grams) twice daily


Directions:


Stir one spoonful into at least 1/2 cup of any beverage or soft food (hot or cold). Stir well until dissolved. Not recommend for carbonated beverages. 

My Personal Review

I have been in need of more fiber in my diet and that is exactly what I found with this product! I am super happy that I am getting close to my daily fiber goal. I have been trying to lay off any products that contain gluten so this product screamed out my name when it said gluten free. 

I have tried other fiber products before and I was kind of weary about trying this product because I had been kind of scarred from that scene. Any fiber product that I have tried in the past were not too nice to mix up with any kind of liquid because it would become thick, clumpy, and yucky.  This fiber was the exact opposite of that. I am proud to say that I am now "un-scarred" from fiber products. :)  

Did I mention there is ZERO smell or ZERO bad after taste. It is 100% odorless and tasteless. So it is perfect for anyone that has to give fiber to their children or to anyone that needs/wants to take fiber on a daily basis. 

I did try this product with just plain water which wasn't horrible at all, but I definitely prefer mixing it up in my daily protein shake. It mixes up very smoothly..no weird texture going on with this fiber powder.

When I make it with my protein shake I add one scoop of protein powder, one scoop of my protein powder, a little bit of water, 3-4 ice cubes and one banana. It is 100% delicious!!!! 




Pure yummy goodness!!!

You can head over to Amazon to check it out for yourself! 
Price: 5.99 (which isn't a bad price!)

My Review





I always love using different types of exercise "props" so I am not surprised that I love these Resistance Bands. I would rate this product a 10 out of 10.

I personally never used this kind of Resistance Band before but now that I have I am wondering why I have never tried them out before?!? They are seriously amazing. I love when I am working out and whatever I am doing or using I can actually feel a difference in what I am doing/using (aka feeling the burn). This product does exactly that. After a few reps I can really begin to feel the burn and tell that I am getting an awesome workout in. 

I normally workout 6 days a week Tabata style. I have definitely added these bad boys into my Tabata routine.  I do cardio, I lift weights, I use dumbbells, I use a pilates ring, but nothing compares to these awesome resistance bands when it comes to working out my lower body. :)

I love the fact that this product is so simple and easy to use that literally anyone can use them. There is zero complicating factors in this product. 

I am a huge fan of keeping my stuff organized and trying to keep things clean. This product comes with a great carrying case!I can put everything away in the small bag when I am done using it so then my house doesn't look a mess or look too cluttered. (That is a huge bonus for me!) 

I would highly recommend everyone have a set of these resistance bands. They are perfect for everyone and anyone. I truly believe even a huge macho man could get some good use out of this product.

Become Eco-Smart one step at a time!!!


Icosa Living Eco-Smart Premium Glass Straws Set





Product Details:

Full set of 6 handcrafted glass straws

Includes 1 nylon cleaning brush

Comes in a premium gift box

9" length, 9.5 mm diameter

Non-toxic

BPA Free

Made from 100% borosilicate glass




What is the big deal about glass straws?

How many times in your life time have you thrown away plastic straws? Let me make a wild guess...too many to count. I can 100% relate. 
These glass straws are kind of a big deal (especially if you consider yourself an environment friendly person). You can literally reuse these straws over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again..I am hoping you get the point! Instead of constantly throwing away straws you will 1.save money! 2.slowly but surely save the environment! It is a win-win for everyone. 

Why would you want Eco-Smart Glass straws?



Eco-Smart Glass Straws are 100% perfect for ANY occasion.

 They are extremely classy looking for a party with your chic friends.

 They are perfect for kids because come on, what kid doesn't love straws?!

You can reuse them! So no more buying straws!!

Awesome Housewarming Gift

They are 100% BPA free.





What you can use them with:


Hot or Cold Beverages!

Smoothies

Milk Shakes

Protein Shakes

Lemonade

Soda

Hot Chocolate

Fruit Juice

Cocktails

Cappuccinos 

Etc, etc, etc.



Where can I find these awesome straws?

You can purchase them on Amazon
They are currently on sale for $12.99. 
They are well worth $12.99 because once you purchase these bad boys you won't need to buy anymore straws again! Unless you want to purchase more for your friends and family!


My Personal Review

I give this a 10 out of 10 star rating. 



I am in awe of these glass straws! I am not the only person that is either. My hubby and my step son also think that they are pretty neat! (Especially my step son..he wanted to use one constantly!) So if you have any kids..I would definitely purchase these!!

Reasons why I love these straws:

Kid friendly. If you know a kid that doesn't love to use straws then pigs must be flying because I have yet to meet one that doesn't like them. 

Reusable. I don't have to buy anymore straws! :) That alone is pretty sweet in my book.

They look awesome! They add lots of character to my kitchen. They are so simple, but so attractive. 

Easy to clean. The cleaning brush that comes with these straws is amazing! It cleans the straws out perfectly. I always hated keeping those plastic straws that weren't meant to be thrown away because I could rewash them, but I could never 100% clean them the way that I know they were 100% clean. Then after a while I'd have to throw them away anyway because some kind of weird funk was attached to them that I couldn't get rid of. Zero funk with these glass straws!! This is actually one of the top reasons this product won me over so quickly.

Easy to use. I made an extremely thick milkshake and guess what? I had zero problems sucking it up with my straw! Normally with a plastic straw I would be trying to get the milkshake up and would be left feeling lightheaded and my straw would end up squashing together instead. Then I'd have to throw the straw away and use a spoon to eat my milkshake. THIS STRAW PASSED THE THICK MILKSHAKE TEST! So yeah, I am never going back..just saying!!



Cocktails. Yes, you really do feel superior drinking a cocktail from a glass straw. That is all that I will say.

Great for small or big cups!





I would highly recommend this product to anyone because they can be used all the time for any occasion!

They had me at All Natural Ingredients!!


Cove Lavender Pure And Vegan Castile Soap Review










What makes Cove's Castile Soap Different?


Their soaps are made with all-natural, vegan, and biodegradable ingredients. They don't use animal fats and there aren't any added detergents or foaming agents in their product because these can be harmful on your skin and the environment. Cove's Castile Soap is very simple, yet it really speaks volumes on how much they care about their customers skin and the environment. That in itself is why Cove's Castile Soap is much different and much better!


Ingredients:



Purified Water

Coconut Oil

Potassium Hydroxide

Argan Oil

Jojoba Oil

Hemp Oil

Lavender Oil

Olive Oil

Vegetable Glycerin

Made with all Certified Organic Ingredients


What makes some of these ingredients so good?


Argan, Hemp and Jojoba oils are jam packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acids. 

How to use Cove Castile Soap:


First and foremost, this product is made to be diluted.
This product is a multi-purpose soap and you can literally use it for SO many different things. The sky really is the limit with this product.


Things you can use this product with and easy go-to recipes:


Body Wash/Hand Soap-Mix 1/2 cup castile soap with 1/2 cup distilled water.


Facial Cleanser-Mix 1 tbsp. castile soap, 1 cup distilled water, and 1/2 cup witch hazel. Bonus* Pour this mixture over washcloths and store for Facial Wipes.


Shaving Soap-Just put a few drops in your wet hands and lather onto your face,legs,or body.


Hand Wash Dish Soap-Mix 1 part castile soap to 2 parts water and hand wash dishes.


All-purpose Cleaning Spray-Add 1/4 cup castile soap to a quart of warm water and stir well. Add any essential oil that you want (or you can do without). Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and you can use it to clean all the surfaces in your home! 


Baby Wash-Mix 1 ounce of castile soap, 4 ounces of purified water, and 3-6 drops of an essential oil. Be careful because it is not tear safe so avoid getting soap in the eyes!


Dog Shampoo-Mix 1 cup castile soap and 1 cup distilled water. Massage into dogs fur (keep out of eyes). Rinse. Mix 1 cup white vinegar and 1 gallon of water. Wash and Rinse well. Lavender should NOT be used on cats because it can be very toxic to them. 


Floor Cleaner-Add 1/2 cup castile soap to 3 gallons of hot water. You will need to combine this mixture in a bucket. Then get ready to mop your heart out!


Shampoo-Everyone should give their hair a break every once in a while and use castile soap instead! Mix 2 tbsp. castile soap with 1 cup water . If you do use castile soap as a shampoo you should always follow with an acidic rinse to balance the pH of your hair. (Lemon Juice or Apple Cider Vinegar will do.) Mix 1 part of whichever acidic property you chose to 8 parts of water.


Laundry Detergent-1 1/4 cup White Vinegar, 1 cup Baking Soda, 1 cup Washing Soda, 1/4 cup castile soap 
Mix in a large bowl. Start with the vinegar and continuously stir as your add each powder. Try to stir out and break up any clumps. Finish with the castile soap. It will seem very wet and start to turn into a thick paste but continue to stir! It will start to flake up and crumble into a moist powdered detergent. Continue to stir! Stir until the texture is a soft clumpy caked loaf ..which will easily crumble off when you go to use it. You can also add essential oils. Once done and ready to use you can use 1/4 cup per load! 


Bubble Bath- Here is 2 bubble bath recipes, but I will warn you it wont be as bubbly of a bath than the stuff you would buy in the store. Also remember, the stuff you buy in the store has horrible horrible yucky chemicals in them that can hurt and irritate your skin.

Recipe # 1- 1 cup sweet almond oil, 1/2 cup honey, 3/4 cup castile soap, how ever many drops of essential oil you would like (id go for 15). Whisk all ingredients together. Drizzle into your bathtub while it is filling with water.

Recipe # 2- 1 cup liquid castile soap, 1 egg white, 15 or however many drops of essential oil you desire.
Whisk all ingredients together. Drizzle into your bathtub while it is filling with water. 

The uses for castile soap is ENDLESS!! You can use it for almost anything. It is a great staple to add to your daily regimen. :)


My Personal Review


I would rate this product an awesome huge 10. I was extremely happy with everything about it. There was zero let downs from this product. 

I love the Lavender scent! Anytime I use it the Lavender aroma hits me and I instantly just feel calm and relaxed. It really is a beautiful smell. 

I love the fact that Cove uses all natural ingredients. They also don't use kernel oil because its cultivation generally leads to the destruction of the rainforests. I like any company that doesn't just think about themselves and really involves themselves to protect the world around them. Cove really cares about their consumers by using zero chemicals, zero foaming agents, zero animal products. Which ultimately means ZERO harmful side effects! Cove has the truest form of pure castile soap. Go check out their website and see for yourselves! 

I believe everyone should have a bottle of Coves castile oil at their house because everyone can benefit from using it in some type of way. Why buy 10 different types of products when you can buy one product to use for all of those 10 different reasons you have those bottles?!? 

The Lavender scent in this product really made me want to take a bubble bath so I decided to whip up my own batch and have at it! Here is the bubble bath recipe that I used. 

1 cup of Lavender Castile Soap
1 egg white
10 drops of Sweet Orange Essential Oil
A bowl
A whisk





I added the 1 cup of castile soap first.





I added the egg white second.




Then third, I added 10-15 drops of Sweet Orange Essential Oil.




I whisked all of the ingredients together for about 3 minutes. I stopped whisking once everything got really foamy/bubbly.




I poured the castile bubble bath soap into the bathtub while I was filling the tub with water.




I sat back and waited for the bathtub to fill up and watched the bubbles spread across the water.




It came out a lot more bubbly then I expected. It was perfect!




That was one of the best baths I had taken in a while!! The lavender aroma had made me feel 100% calm and relaxed..exactly how someone should feel when taking a bath. I also loved it because I was at total peace of mind knowing that the castile bubble bath I just made was 100% unharmful to my body. I ended up unwinding and taking a much longer bath than I anticipated and came out looking like a dried up prune on my hands and feet, but boy oh boy it was well worth it!  

I did receive this product for free to give my own honest unbiased review and that is exactly what I did! #CoveCastileSoap #CoveLavenderCastileSoap
