Review: InstaNatural Cellulite Cream & Stretch Mark Creme

So as a mid twenties women who has had the wonderful pleasure of delivering two gorgeous and healthy children into this world, I ended up with my share of saggy skin and stretch marks. While it is nothing to be ashamed about, most women are moms, bad skin is something I just didn't want to live with anymore. I don't plan on having another child for some years, and with my modeling career getting bigger than ever, I had to do something about those unsightly marks. I am very body positive, I love to look my best. This is a topic I am sure many of you can relate to, so it makes me super excited to let you in on a product that has changed my life.

They were super easy to put in and feel right over my retina. My contacts were very comfortable and didn't irritate my eyes at all.

PetArmor Plus IGR: Review

Tweet

Nothing comes close in life, than companionship, loyalty & just having a good friend to rely on. For some people, its a high school best friend, for others its a significant other, but for me, it's my fur babies. For the last few years I have had the joy of experiencing life with 2 boxers, and trust me, nothing is better than having a dog. A dog will great you after a long, stressful day at work with the biggest smile; it makes me instantly happy to see my little guys so happy and excited to see me. I would do anything for my boys.

With that being said, their health and well being are very important to me. Like most dogs, my boys love to be outdoors; living in West Virginia makes it a must to be outside most of the time. Running through the hills, playing in creeks and rolling in grass are just a few of my boys favorite things to do. As an owner, I can't ignore the dangers that are out there, with all the bugs and disease's. To keep ahead of the game, I use PetArmor Plus IGR to protect my boys from a number of problems.

PetArmor Plus IGR uses the same main ingredient in other costly brands; Fipronil is the number one Vet recommended ingredient to combat fleas, ticks and lice. Save yourself some cash without sacrificing quality. 

I used PetArmour Plus IGR on my dogs, and you can certainly tell the difference from past brands used. My dogs didn't even notice the application of the medicine, and within weeks I noticed they weren't digging into their fur, like EVER. My boys weren't uncomfortable at all after being out doors, and the best thing is that the treatment lasts for months before the need for another application. If you love your dog, than you need this stuff. Again, this medicine kills fleas, ticks, lice & their eggs so your dog isn't being used as a breeding ground for disgusting pests. This also prevents the spread of diseases from the carrier pests.

PetArmor Plus IGR also contains another amazing ingredient called Novaluron which is an insect growth regulator (IGR). This ingredient instantly kills eggs and stops the regrowth cycle for new infestations. Safe, friendly, and healthy for your pet, this product will save you time and money and keep your pet loving life.

PetArmour Plus IGR comes in three different packages, based on the dogs weight, so make sure to pick up the correct package. Each pack contains 3 treatments, use one treatment per month, this will give you 3 months of treatments per package. 

6.5 to 22 lbs.

23 to 44 lbs.

45 to 88 lbs.

89 to 132 lbs.

PetArmor Plus IGR can be found instore or online from Walmart.

I don't need a big bag, just something for some shoes, my iPod and keys, so the Lapin Valardi shoe bag was something I could use. The bag is very high quality and durable to my needs, plus its very stylish so I don't have to worry about having an ugly carry along. I was very impressed with the compliments I got from my yoga girls, they were definitely digging my new bag.

Jack Be Natural Review - Zerbert Baby Bib

Tweet

Lately, I have been turning more and more to organic and natural products. Like many other moms, I never realized all the harmful and bad effects that alot of mass produced products can bring. So I have been looking for alternatives to replace these bad products that I have been using. On my search I discovered an amazing site that has so many products to offer! Jack Be Natural offers all organic products for babies and even mom too. Their products are high-quality products for everyday use. Jack Be Natural offers everything from cloth diapers and baby bedding to toys and clothing, all made from natural materials that are not harmful to your baby. 

I was offered the chance to review on of their Zerbert baby bibs, and I will never use another bib again. The first thing I liked about the bib is the size. At 8.5 x 11 inches, there is plenty of coverage for those leaky messes. It is also made from waterproof materials so it doesn't leak through like those thin cotton bibs do. The back is covered in minky fabric and its super soft. My daughter got made at me when I tried to take it off of her. You can use both sides as well, so you have the option of a solid color or a pattern, and might I add they look great with an outfit, so you can use them during teething times so baby's outfit is not soaked with slobber. The best part? Zerbert bibs are handmade by a work at home mommy who knows all about quality and style.

So if you are in the market for amazing products for your baby, check by Jack Be Natural for some amazing, quality products!

ActivewearUSA.com Review

Tweet

I have been lazy lately, I mean REALLY lazy.. After chasing kids, cleaning the house, running errands, doing laundry, getting up all night with a teething baby, I have NO energy for myself minus a 5 minute shower. Lately I've been looking horrible and I couldn't take it anymore. I HAD to do something with myself, so I conceived a plan to take a few minutes a day and make up a routine to give me some me time, this included working out a few times a week to give me some added energy. Working out usually brings to mine the thought of ugly jogging pants for giant t-shirts, but I was NOT going to look like some bad lady from the thrift store. That's where ActivewearUSA.com came in. I was taking a look around their site and man, was I blown away. They have some of the cutest workout gear that varies from tops to pants and even water bottles! I had the chance to review a few of their products.

First was the Margarita Wear race top. It fits great and holds up very well. I was pleasantly surprised when I took it for a spin at the gym. The top hugged my body and didn't slip or pull up during my work out. It is very breathable and I didn't get hot, plus it seemed to absorb the sweat so I wasn't left with a wet, icky shirt to go home it. I didn't feel constricted and it was very easy to move it. The top also keeps its shape after wear which is great! Did I mention that I LOVE the colors as they are easy to match with pants and can also be worn with jeans if you like comfy clothes. The side panels do great things for my shape and make me look at least 10 pounds lighter.

As I said previously, ActivewearUSA.com offers lines of work-out clothing from over 80 different retailers and also has work-out clothes for men. Cute pants, cute shirts, and even cute water bottles, what more can you ask?

So go check out ActivewearUSA.com and get out of those frumpy workout clothes!

Bee Free Honey Review

Tweet Are you a vegan, mother of a small child, or allergic tor regular honey? Or maybe just looking for a new, sweet flavor to add to your food. Bee Free Honee is a naturally sweetener with a nice little tarty tang made from apples! This tasty product is an American made product out of Minnesota.

Here is an exert from the website:


"Bee Free Honee can be used in BBQ sauces, hot and cold beverages, vinaigrette, granola, cakes, breads, basically...if you use traditional honey in the recipe, you can use Bee Free Honee interchangeably.

Pour it on your pancakes, waffles, or french toast, it makes wonderful apple syrup. It's "apple honey" on your morning toast, yogurt, or oatmeal. Use Bee Free Honee any way you can imagine...but most importantly, enjoy it.

What makes this even more exciting is the fact that it is made in Minnesota, using strictly Midwest apples. The bottles and caps, labels, boxes that they are cased in are all from the Twin Cities. This product is as local as we could make it."

Bee Free Honey was started in 1999 by Katie Sanchez. Growing up on an orchard, Kelly had access to delicious and juicy apples. On top of that her father was a bee keeper. As an adult, she wanted to made some apple jelly but ended up creating apple honey.


 Years later she decided to expand her product when she heard the bee population was declining. By 2035 it is predicted that there will be no bee's left in America. 


I was sent a bottle to try. I used it on some toast with my breakfast and my family loved it! It's also great in tea too. Here is a recipe for Apple Granola I would on their website:


"Apple Honey" GranolaThis is for drier, crunchy granola.  It is also the recipe I frequently make when I sample my honee.  It is delicious and healthy!

½ cup Bee Free Honee

1 cup Brown Sugar

½ cup Water

4 tablespoons Vegetable Oil or

                        Butter

2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla

1 teaspoon Salt

______

2 cups nuts.

Cinnamon to taste

¼ cup Wheat Germ

sugar, water and oil or butter until the sugar

dissolves.  Take the mixture off the heat and

add the vanilla and salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Toast the

nuts and coconut until fragrant.

Mix the oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, wheat germ,

bran, flax seed, and toasted nuts together. 

Pour the liquid on top and mix thoroughly. 

Spread the mixture on to two cookie sheets

that has been brushed with oil.

Bake at 350 degrees, tossing the mixture every

15-20 min.  Once it is toasty brown, take out of

the oven and mix the currants in.  Toss

occasionally as it cools to break it up.  Store in

an air tight container.
