Review:
  I took this before doing my home workout. I am very impressed with this product. It gave me the extra strength to continue with my workout.  What makes me highly impressed with natural stacks is that there products are natural. I have heart issues so I have to watch what I take because of that. This product gave me no issues and I LOVE it!

Review: 
I will admit when I first used exfolimate I was a little nervous. It looks like a blade to me. LOL! Do not let that worry you though, it's not!! I was very impressed at how well it exfoliated my skin. I have dry skin no matter what time of the year. Most scrubs and brushes I have used in the past have irritated my skin and made it red. I am happy to report exfolimate does not irritate my skin at all. Love that my skin is extra soft after using this tool.

Squirt it directly into your mouth—no need to wash it down with water—and take in your vitamins. It’s as simple as that. Bio D Supreme absorbs into your body ten times faster than a vitamin capsule that could take hours: getting those nutrients to your system when it needs them.

Review:

I am very impressed with this spray. I was worried it would taste bad but it does not. It has a light minty taste to it. I have noticed an increase in energy. I like that it is compact unlike vitamin bottles. Fits perfect in your purse or handbag.

My hair has always been a BIG deal to me. I have been growing it out since HIGH SCHOOL!! I am very picky about what products/tools I use. I was recently given the chance to review a few hair brushes from Olivia Garden.

OLIVIA GARDEN was founded in Belgium in 1968 by Jean and Micheline Rennette. The company has a long history of designing and promoting innovative high quality products engineered to fulfill hairdressers' professional needs. Today, Olivia Garden
is a leader in the salon industry and its products are sold in over 70 countries around
the world.

My before and after photo:

I LOVE both of the hair brushes. As you can see from my before and after photo they work great. I like to use the heat pro round brush for when I blow dry my hair. I use the  ceramic+ion supreme combo brush on days I do not wash my hair to style and straighten my hair. They are both great brushes and I would highly recommend Olivia Garden if you are looking for high quality hair brushes at a reasonable price.

Package Included:
- 1 * Desktop Charging Cradle Dock
- 1 * Micro-USB Cable
- 1 * AC Adapter

Review:

I was happy to get this dock to use for charging my sons phone. He is only allowed to play games on it. If you play a lot of games on your phone you know it kills your battery very fast. We were very impressed with the charging cradle and sync dock. I was very impressed with the quality and very affordable price.

Daisy Container Company was founded in 2011 by Diana Richardson, a mother of two sons and a former corporate finance attorney. Over the years, while packing food to go, Diana saw the need for a stylish grab and go container that would keep food fresh as her family traveled to the park, to games or just while running errands. She also wanted to stop using plastic containers and disposable products for food storage.

 The result is ecocozies – a cozy place for food with an insulation system (Patent Pending) in eye-catching neoprene colors and patterns. The liner is food safe. Ecocozies come in shapes and sizes to hold all kinds of food from pizza, subway sandwiches and chicken, to crackers, fruit and veggies. Using an ecocozie eliminates the need for the use of aluminum foil and other disposable food storage products.

Review: 

I chose the blue camo for my 9 year old son.  He loves his camo containers and like to use them for school. He puts his drink in one and his snack in the other! I love that they are easy to clean and food safe! I love the idea of illuminating waste by using aluminum foil or sandwich bags.

Vitamin D3 plays an integral role in regulating the neuromuscular and immune systems, as well as mood and sleep. It’s also a critical hormone precursor that supports new cell growth and bone formation.

Natural Stacks Vitamin D3 features:

Your body naturally converts sunlight to Vitamin D, but most people don’t get near enough sun exposure (unless you’re an outdoorsy nudist living near the equator).  Natural Stacks Vitamin D3 is a performance essential. 

 

Review: 

The first thing I noticed when opening up the bottle was how small the vitamins are. That is a huge plus to me as I do not like taking "horse pills".  My sleep and mood has been so much better since taking this product. Great product and I would highly recommend it!

What is Moringa?  

It’s a plant that has more vitamins, minerals, proteins, anti-oxidants and amino-acids than any other food in the world. The Food & Agricultural Organization website defines Moringa as follows:

     Moringa is a genus of shrubs and trees with multi-purpose uses: its leaves, roots and              immature pods are consumed as a vegetable. All parts of the moringa tree are edible. The      leaves are used fresh or dried and ground into powder.

Although fresh leaves are very high in nutrition, dried moringa leaf powder contains the highest nutritional content. Just look at these incredible comparisons: 

• 10x the Vitamin A of carrots
• 17x the Calcium of milk
• 15x the Potassium of bananas
• 25x the Iron of spinach
• 9x the Protein of yogurt
• 4x more Fiber than oats
• 1/2 the Vitamin C of oranges

  Where does Moringa come from? 

 Found in Africa, the Philippines, tropical Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, Moringa is popularly known in many countries as a “miracle plant” because of its nutritional and medical properties.  According to WebMD:

Food & Agricultural Organization (FAO) Names Moringa as
September Crop of the Month

TAMPA, FL – September 17, 2014 – Moringa’s been getting a lot of attention lately—so if you’re already familiar with this most nutrient-dense plant in the world, then you already know why it was chosen as crop of the month!  For those of you haven’t yet been introduced to this amazing plant, read on.

What is Moringa?  It’s a plant that has more vitamins, minerals, proteins, anti-oxidants and amino-acids than any other food in the world. The Food & Agricultural Organization website defines Moringa as follows:

     Moringa is a genus of shrubs and trees with multi-purpose uses: its leaves, roots and              immature pods are consumed as a vegetable. All parts of the moringa tree are edible. The      leaves are used fresh or dried and ground into powder.[1] 

Although fresh leaves are very high in nutrition, dried moringa leaf powder contains the highest nutritional content. Just look at these incredible comparisons: 

Where does Moringa come from?  Found in Africa, the Philippines, tropical Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, Moringa is popularly known in many countries as a “miracle plant” because of its nutritional and medical properties.  According to WebMD,

     Moringa is an important food source in some parts of the world. Because it can be grown        cheaply and easily, and the leaves retain lots of vitamins and minerals when dried,                  moringa is used in India and Africa in feeding programs to fight malnutrition…It’s alsoused      for “tired blood” (anemia); arthritis and other joint pain (rheumatism); asthma; cancer;              constipation; diabetes; diarrhea; epilepsy; stomach pain; stomach and intestinal ulcers;            intestinal spasms; headache; heart problems; high blood pressure; kidney stones; fluid            retention; thyroid disorders; and bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic infections…[3]

So, it’s a ‘miracle plant’ that provides a high level of nutrition as well as major medicinal properties…and it’s affordable?  Where can consumers purchase it?

Moringa comes in many different forms, powder, tea, oil, capsules and more.  There are several online sellers providing Moringa, but not all Moringa is created equal.  Do your homework, and keep in mind that the leaves of the Moringa plant are by far the most nutritional component of the plant (which is why ALL of Green Virgin’s moringa is 100% leaf powder).  Avoid products that state “proprietary blend” as this can be a deceptive marketing practice.  Read the fine print and know what you are buying.

In addition to researching the quality of the Moringa product, Ken Marion, Founder of Green Virgin Products recommends consumers pay particular notice to how the Moringa is packaged.

     “Just as an apple turns brown when cut and exposed to the air, Moringa is very                         susceptible to oxidation. If not packaged properly most of the nutritional value will be               destroyed before you even open the package…it is imperative that moringa must be               packaged in oxygen free (not just air tight) packaging that also blocks 100% of light.

     All our moringa is packed in a sophisticated three-layer, resealable pouch…it shuts out            100% of the light and sucks up all the oxygen inside.  We are the only manufacturer to  take the time and effort to package in this manner…which is why Green Virgin Products’ moringa is more potent than any other brand.

Ken also mentioned that “consuming Moringa leaf powder gives you all day energy and mental clarity. It contains no Caffeine, and unlike energy drinks that last 5 hours, there are no health hazards or jittery feeling, just a clear feeling of alertness you can't get with energy drinks or coffee.”

Moringa boosts the nutritional value of many recipes.  Touted as the ultimate ingredient in smoothies, due to its amazing nutritional profile, Moringa leads the way next to any superfood!

More Moringa?....YES, Please!
