NatureBox Snacks Review & Giveaway!!!

I was recently contacted by NatureBox and asked if I would like to do a review of their NatureBox snacks.  I gladly accepted and am really happy that I did.  NatureBox helps you eat healthier without needing to change your eating habits. They focus on snacks because that’s the easiest habit to change. Do you know that the average American eats almost 25% of their calories from snacking? In fact, snacking is the leading cause of childhood obesity. NatureBox helps you get more out of your day without wasting calories on the bad stuff.

My box contained:

Tropical Trail Mix-Another great snack with coconut shavings and a rainbow of tropical fruits and nuts that was great for a flavorful energy boosting treat

Cinnamon Spiced Almonds-These were phenomenal and tasted like eating a cookie or something baked.  Totally satisfied those cravings and were just so delicious.

Honey Nut Medley-This nut mix is great when you are craving something sweet.

Masa Crisps- and they were just absolutely delicious and you definitely did not feel that you were being deprived or that this was any sort of healthy replacement snack.

Agave Citrus Granola-This soft baked granola had a unique citrus flavor and one taste and I was looking for some vanilla yogurt to mix with it.  Absolutely fabulous alone or mixed in yogurt.

The box comes with a card with a description of all the snacks and helpful tips, recipe and snack suggestions.

Every NatureBox item is carefully sourced and nutritionist approved. Everything inside your NatureBox will be guilt free so that you can feel great about what you’re eating. You can trust that our products will be made from the most wholesome ingredients and will be minimally processed, if at all.  Each box costs just $19.95 and shipping is always free with NatureBox. You can pause or cancel anytime, and They will happily issue a refund if you’re not 100% satisfied. For every NatureBox sent out, together they’re helping to feed the hungry. NatureBox donates one meal for every box to feed the over 14 million children in America who go hungry. They believe in doing good and eating well.

PMD, Personal MicroDerm System Review & Giveaway!!!

Who doesn’t want younger, smoother, more flawless skin?  I was very happy when I was asked to review the PMD, Personal MicroDerm System recently.  The PMD was said to work as well as the professional treatments that are found in dermatologist’s offices.  I was very impressed at the quality of the system, all the components and that it even came with an instructional video.  How nice to have such a high quality device to take care of any problem areas and leave my skin smoother and younger looking. It is so easy to use and works so well and uses the same aluminum oxide crystals found in professional equipment.  If you are looking to get great results from microderm treatments at home without the hassle and expense of going to the doctor, you should take a look at the PMD, Personal MicroDerm System.  Get professional results in your own bathroom and you are sure to have everyone mentioning how great your skin looks.

I like that you can use it on your body, hands, neck as well as your face and that just lets you treat any areas that you feel are less than perfect and achieve great results. Minimizing pores is what I really love and that it quickly takes care of any unevenness or rough skin area.  I feel very empowered knowing that it is just takes a trip to my bathroom linen closet to get professional results.

PMD works in two ways to produce amazing resurfacing results. The aluminum oxide crystals embedded into the exfoliating discs work to resurface the stratum corneum skin layer. This combined with the powerful vacuum suction of the hand-held device stimulates blood flow and brings collagens to the surface; allowing skin care products to penetrate deeper into the skin ultimately revealing younger, healthier skin.

PMD greatly enhances poor, dull skin texture by gently resurfacing the superficial skin layers. Softens and modifies fine “expression” lines typically seen on the forehead and around the mouth. Polishes and reduces fine, crêpe lines on the cheeks generally caused by aging and sun damage. Smoothes pigment changes or skin discoloration. Contracts enlarged pores; exfoliates and suctions out clogged pores in case of acne, and polishes and smoothes out the margins of acne and burn scars.

 

 

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Achieve amazing anti-aging results at home with Personal Microderm System. It works just like a professional microdermabrasion treatment without the hassle or cost. The hand-held device uses the same aluminum oxide crystals as the ten thousand dollar machines found at your doctor’s office.

Sparkling ICE, Naturally Flavored Sparkling Mountain Spring Water Reivew & Giveaway!!!

I was recently sent a gift pack of Sparkling ICE beverages for review.

Sparkling ICE is an excellent source of B-Vitamins, Vitamin D and antioxidants.

B-Vitamins are known to play an important role in helping your body obtain energy from food. They may also be important for normal appetite, healthy skin, good vision, a healthy nervous system and red blood cell formation. Vitamin D is widely known to play a significant role in overall health – in particular bone strength.

Sparkling ICE also contains caffeine-free Green Tea Extract, which is known to have powerful levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that protect your body’s cells from harmful molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are a by-product of your body’s normal processes, and are also thought to be caused by pollutants and other environmental exposure. Sparkling ICE – Light & Refreshing, Zero Calories, Gluten Free, Caffeine Free, Sweetened with Splenda.

Sparkling ICE was a refreshing drink poured on some cold ice after some power gardening.  It was sparkling, tangy, and crisp.  I love all the great flavors it comes in like; orange mango, lemonade, coconut pineapple, pomegranate berry, lemon lime, kiwi strawberry, pink grapefruit, and black raspberry.

If you are looking for a flavorful drink that is full of vitamins and antioxidants but not full of sugar and calories, try some Sparkling ICE.  It is sure to quench your thirst on a hot day and also tickle your taste buds.
