Get Fit with #FitbitOne

Fitbit Ultra
Get Fit with #FitbitOne
Trying to stay fit, be fit, live healthy, eat right, and monitor your weight is all hard enough without having to journal things daily.  But, for most of us we do have to journal just to keep things in check to see where we are at with our fitness.   I have been searching for that perfect app or device to help me keep track of my goals that didn’t take time or much thought process and have to say I found a keeper!!  The FitbitOne is a cool little tool that tracks it all.   Yes, you still have to log in online or use your app to input your food, water, exercise, etc.  But, it tracks it all, tell you where you are at every day for your goal you have set.  Cool!!   I also enjoy the online community and have met some neat people.  It is nice to have encouragement from others from time to time.  And,you are awarded badges when you reach certain levels and goals.  I like to share my badges on Facebook and Twitter and have gained other followers due to doing so. 
I have always been interested in seeing how many steps I take on a daily basis, mainly because I sit for many hours and so it is nice to try and get a certain number of steps.  Using my FitbitOne has helped me make sure I get up and groove my body.   I will walk up and down my stairs, just to get more levels completed for the day.  Or, take some time out from blogging and go for a walk on the treadmill or outside just to reach my goal.   Love it!  It motivates me. 
For years now I have struggled with sleep and always wonder how many times during the night I wake up because I know in the morning I am dog tired and feel like I hardly slept. Well, this cool little device tells you just how fast you fall asleep, how many times you wake up, and how long you slept.  I really like that.  One night, I woke up 15 times!!  Dang!!  Not sure how it monitors all that, but it does. 
If you have ever checked out this FitbitOne, and just was a bit unsure or hesitant, just get it and see how awesome it is.   Yes,  I am sure you know this is a review… but I am totally serious!!   I don’t rave about things I don’t like or use myself and I love this!   Only problem I have right now.. is I forgot it at home!    We left for a month long vacation and I was so stressed and in a hurry packing that I remembered my little usb thing for the computer, but not the FitbitOne that clips onto me.  Can’t use one without the other.. LOL!!  I wish I had it with me because I have been doing a ton of walking and it would have been nice to keep track of all that.   I might not be eating the best, but I am actually losing weight!!   Sweet!

Guam Beauty Mud Review and Giveaway

 

Guam Beauty Mud reduces the appearance of cellulite with visible results
from the very first use.

GUAM® Beauty Mud is the #1 selling anti-cellulite product in Italy and beyond. It is a convenient and highly effective way to pamper yourself at home and combat the appearance of cellulite by tightening, firming and removing excess water trapped in the fatty deposits of the skin. The treatment is fast, easy and safe, and the results are astonishing! Used frequently and in conjunction with the Fangocrema Mud-Based Cream, the effectiveness is intensified. Skin is noticeably tighter, smoother and more supple from the very first application.

Mix well before each use. Massage a generous amount of GUAM® Beauty Mud into the areas you wish to treat, making sure the skin is completely covered. Using any household plastic wrap (cling film), wrap up the leg to the top of the thigh or covering all areas treated, and then like a skirt around the top of the thighs and buttocks. After 45 minutes, remove plastic wrap and rinse off Beauty Mud in the shower.

I have used this 3 times so far and have to say it is a great product.  I have stretch marks on my tummy that are even lighter after using this.  I know it is mainly for legs/thighs/buttock area but I had to try it on my tummy.  It is an amazing product that will bring your skin back to your early 20′s.   I would really like to try the tummy fat burning cream they have :)
I also got a couple packages of Algascrub and wasn’t to sure at first because it doesn’t smell very good.  But.. OH MY.. it was like a spa treatment.  The scrub was perfect and the after effects lasted for 2 days, till I showered again. (yeah.. 2 days is normal! LOL)

Enjoy Your Bar Your Way with Element Bars ~ R & G



Element Bars

Being a health food girl and always on the look for something new, exciting, fun to eat and the most important.. great tasting, I was so excited when I learned about this company.  Element Bars ~ Custom Whole Food Bars

This company is amazing, and the bars are the best I have tried.. and believe me I have tried many many bars.
What is awesome is that you don’t have to order a bar with stuff in it you won’t like, and suffer thru eating it just because
you know it’s good for you.  NOPE ~ You can customize your OWN bar.  You pick the ingredients, and they
create your bar just for you.

Choose from a classic or endurance bar, then you pick your core, add in nuts, fruit, sweets, & boost.  TaDa..  you get a bar or bars (I suggest bars ~ hehe), just the way you want it.  Nothing in it you didn’t want.

I made a great mix and called it Girl Power.
My bar consists of ~ Chewy Core (almond butter), Cranberries, Flax Seed, &Whey Protein.
It is a perfect mix because it isn’t overly sweet and is nice and chewy.   The only thing I would do different is not add
in the flax seed, it gets stuck in my teeth.  Next one I will not have flax seed and just add omega 3, and maybe peanuts and cinnamon.

If you don’t want a mix of your own they have some great custom mixes already created.

While you are creating your bar it shows you the ingredients, calories, carbs, protein, etc on the side bar so if you add something that you think ads to many calories or something to your bar, you have the option to adjust and such until you have exactly what you want.

Have you heard of Element Bars?  Check them out and grab a custom box of bars for yourself, or to share with your family and friends.

The bars are only $2.99 each/$35.88 box of 12

Naturally Fresh ~ Review & Giveaway

Can you smell that?  No.. well that is because I am using Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystals.

The Doctor’s Choice for Deodorants.

*Hypoallergenic
*Non Staining
*Phthalate Free
*Paraben & PG Free
*No Harmful Aluminums
*Up to 24 Hour Protection

Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystals offers a range of products such as Solid’s ~ new with Aloe Vera, Trial/Travel products, Roll-On’s, Spray Mist, Foot Spray with Aloe Vera, Moiststic Lip Protection and Refrigerator Fresh Crystals or Pet Crystals.

I have always been one to buy the standard deodorant/antiperspirant like Suave or Secret, but no more.   I couldn’t figure out why I always had a rash on my underarms or why I had ingrown hairs.  Or why my razors would only last a few uses before they were gunked up with stuff.  Well… it was the product I was using.   From the day I started using the Naturally Fresh Deodorant I noticed my underarms felt better, no stinging when I shaved or put on the deodorant, my razors didn’t get all gunked up, and I have no ingrown hairs.

I always knew that the product I was using wasn’t good for me, but didn’t know what else to use.  I am so glad I was given the chance to try Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal.   I will never use another product as long as this one is available!

 

Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal would like to give one of our readers a nice selection of products.

Pure Integrity Soy Candles ~ Review & Giveaway

Pure Integrity Soy Candles

 Pure Integrity Soy Candles are scented above & beyond your best scented candle! Our soy candles burn clean, last long and fill room upon room. Husband and wife team started in the kitchen 9 years ago. One year later after their humble beginnings, they moved into a factory with 3 retail stores locally and salon spa’s and boutiques sell their candles throughout the U.S. For the past 9 years Pure Integrity is rated the best scented candle online out of 1000′s of companies big and small at candlefind.com – the review site for candle lovers. We have been showcased in Business First, Women’s World Magazine, Buffalo News and have been interviewed locally on ABC and CBS multiple times.

I was excited when I was contacted by the owners of Pure Integrity Soy Candles because first off, I love candles! Second, I used to make candles and loved it, and miss it and am always excited to find hand made candles that can live up to my standards.  Well, with that said … These candles and tarts rock!!   Not only are they soy, but they are heavily scented and long lasting.

Here is what they say the reason the candles smell so good ~
Why do our candles smell so great .. . Our innovative fragrance technology, enables us to create incredibly strong scented candles. Our “fragrance Technology” enables us to exceed the candle making industry standard, “scent load capacity”.  We have figured out a way to get our wax to absorb 50% more fragrance then the candles out on the market today. In addition, our fragrances are petroleum and Phthalate free. Petroleum and Phthalate based fragrances are toxic. Yes, our fragrances are a healthier alternative and you will not get that fake, artificial smell. Our fragrances are amazingly realistic and bold.

The owners of Pure Integrity Soy Candles are also two caring and sweet people.  I have chatted back and forth with Teresa and she is a true sweetheart.   Her and I actually share a few things in common.   I think this company will go far in their business and the compassion and love they have for what they do really shines thru in their products.

I was excited to try a jar candle and a few of the tarts.
My big jar candle was scented in Caramel Vanilla and was so mouth watering I wanted to eat it.
No.. I didn’t eat it, or even lick it but so wanted to.

The Tarts were very yummy & long lasting.  I think I will need to order myself a few dozen more!!
