Thyroid Rite {Review}




I've struggled over the last few years with being over weight having gone through some emotional life changing things between loosing family and being pregnant my weight got kind of out of control and I gained almost 50 lbs.
So when I was asked to review Thyroid Rite, I was definitely game to try it if it would help kick my metabolism into gear so that I could loose weight.



The caplets are pretty large but where they are veggie coated, they are easy to swallow with water.  You have iodine from kelp, copper, zinc, magnesium and so many other natural herbs to help you have a healthy safe thyroid pill.
I definitely did notice a little more pep in my step while taking them and not as tired and slow as I've been lately where I have a 2yr old toddler and never really get a straight 8hrs of sleep.. They increased my metabolism, as I've been dropping weight more easily than I ever have. Though diet, exercise and lots of water help naturally too! 

If you want to try them and purchase your own follow to amazon ~ Thyroid

Running Armband for Samsung Galaxy {Review}





When it comes to fitness, music is a total must for me and I always want a safe place to keep my phone while exercising, and keeping my phone sweat free. This armband is the perfect daily accessory for my phone. It does fit a variety of Samsung Galaxy Phones, because I got it when I had the S3 and I now have the alpha, with a case it's definitely a tighter especially with a case on it but it's still safe and easily accessible.


It's definitely weird using it at first this way but it's great that it's covered and still can answer calls, change the music, It does have the reflective rim around it so whether you're running with low light, you are still visible. It even has a place to hold a key so you don't have to lug everything with you.


The thing I was alittle confused about was the A & B slots. I know it's for the band because people have different sized arms, I unfortunately still have larger arms due to still in being in the process of loosing weight so when I tighten this is it really does squish my arms which is never fun, especially when your working out and your arm's getting hot. So I definitely wish there was alittle more flexibilty with the band or the length because it doesn't go up quite as high as I'd like it to be.



It's definitely a great purchase for $7.99 !
They come in black or pink!

Retinol Moisturizer {Review}

As a girl who has started wearing more makeup, my face has badly needed a moisturizer, so I was very excited to jump on the chance of trying Body Merry's Retinol Moisturizer.



It leaves my face feeling really soft, and it doesn't dry it out like some products do especially since I have really dry skin to begin with. It hydrates my skin after wearing makeup all day, the green tea in it gives a great cooling effect, the hyaluronic acid tones my skin up. 

Using this in the morning before applying makeup and using it before bed has definitely made my face very happy. It works well with any skin type. As for the smell, I like it. It's very light but you can smell the shea butter which isn't an issue for me since I particularly enjoy the smell.

Definitely check it out and purchase your own on amazon ~ Retinol

Raspberry Ketones {Review}

After having my daughter I got sick and lost some weight and then gained it back. I've heard amazing things about Raspberry Ketones so I was excited to review it..


These not only help increase your metabolism since most of us overweight people are missing something called Adiponectin which is a hormone that helps burn fat and boost our metabolism. 

You will see an increase in your energy while it also helps decrease your appetite which is a double bonus all in one.
These capsules are also gluten free which is important for many people,  They are also made right here in the US.

You definitely want to check these out and hopefully try them for yourself!

Age Defense Neck Cream {Review}

I'm so close to 30 that it scares me and I've really started to pay attention to my skin care, especially my face. Which leads me to trying Age Defense Neck Cream from Body Merry.



I've used a few of their products and I am still yet to be disappointed. This product is no different. 

Wrinkles to me are evil. It makes me feel even older and I can't stand that nothing honestly makes me feel beautiful other than makeup which we all know doesn't hide everything.



This awesome product, not only allows you to use a small amount but it helps firm and tighten the skin on your neck. It has a very light fragrance from the different oils in which I love while it's hydrating my skin. 

It being made in the USA is a HUGE thing for me. It also is free of nasty chemicals as Parabens, Sulfates or Pthalates.

I'd definitely recommend checking this product out, you can purchase it here. Neck Cream

Facial Blotting Paper {Review}




So I've never really been a makeup person but even when I am, I notice that when I sweat especially at work while wearing makeup my face gets extremely oily. My friend also works with me and always has make up on so when I got this, I made her try them as well with me.
SHE LOVED them toooo! 

So I'll share with you, Facial Blotting Papers from Day by Day.
When you order them you get a 2 packs and each has 100 papers in them.
You'll be good for a little bit if you don't share.



I was totally nervous because here I am thinking paper, on my face?!
It's not at all as bad as I assumed.
The paper is little, and very soft almost like tissue paper.
The first time I used it and wiped my face I cringed when I saw the oil it wiped off without makeup. And with was insane!!


These honestly are a must for anyone who wears makeup, wants a quick fresher without ruining your makeup, or even if you have oily skin and are super self conscious. 
You have to check them out and try them.

Konjac Facial Sponge {Review}

I had never heard of a Konjac Sponge before I did this review.




I was very excited to try it, it comes in a cute small brown box. When you take it out, you find a suction cup, and the spone all neatly sealed in plastic. When you first look at it, you'd almost think it's a chunk of cauliflower. That's honestly what I think every time I look at it.




The sponge is 100% Natural and has no chemicals or additives!

Konjac is a fiber that helps your skins oils and impurities. The sponge is really soft once you wet it and rub it on your face. When you scrub in circular motions, your helping to increase the blood flow in your face to help with skin cell growth.




Not to mention how soft your face feels. You can use this wet by itself or use your favorite cleanser for an even larger cleaning.

It's safe for all skin types especially sensitive skin, which I happen to have!! So much so I'm really not supposed to use anything with a scent but I do anyone and end up breaking out. So this was great to use and be okay with. They say it's even gentle enough for a baby.



There is no scent in it, or on it. It softly exfoliates your skin while cleansing and leaving your face feeling fresh and even give you a healthy glow.

This sponge is also compostable/biodegradable for those who are even more worried about where it ends up when you're done with it.



My only qualm with this was that although it included a suction cup to hang it up in the shower to let it air dry, the suction cup does not stick to tile walls, as this is the 2nd time I've found that out the hard way lately when I went to stick something up, so keep that in mind. I know most showers aren't tile but just a fair warning!

Over all, I loved using this on my face and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Organic Matcha - Green Tea Powder {Review}

I've heard of Organic Matcha for awhile but had never tried. I was hesitant but interested to try it at the same time.



Let me share with you Organic Matcha - Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics. I've never been a tea drinker especially not green tea even though I've been told the health benefits for you are amazing.

This one is a very soft powder form and you can put it into food, drinks, even bake with it. When you purchase the powder they send you an EBook with recipes in it. I'm super picky when it comes to things I make and especially things I eat so I didn't try any of the recipes but there is quite a variety in there.



There are drinks/smoothies, breakfast, muffins, desserts, meals, etc.

I was kind of simple and just baked it into my brownies. When you open the powder it's a bright green and doesn't smell the most appetizing.



I had a couple tablespoons to the brownie powder mix (pictured) and you can see it sticks out ALOT. It definitely takes some getting used to as it has sort of an acquired taste, maybe its because I knew it was there.

However, I had 2 people try them and they never noticed the taste nor said anything but I do making amazing brownies. So it definitely is unknown when it's made into something like that. Typically if you use it in something else the color would come out a bright green!



Although I wasn't a huge fan of the taste, the benefits of green tea are amazing. It definitely helps kick your metabolism into gear, has skin health benefits, has more antioxidants than your regular tea, and it helps with your energy and focus.

You can find it here ~ Green Tea Powder

Seaweed Powder {Review}




I simply enjoy trying Insta Natural's products! This one is their 100% natural Seaweed Powder!
It comes in a huge 24oz tub! There is enough to make LOTS of different facial masks or even to wrap your body! (I haven't had the chance to do the wraps YET.)

"This natural seaweed kelp powder improves skin tone and texture while making this in the comfort of your home. There is plenty of vitamins, minerals and iodine that help remove the impurities from your while relieving aches and pains"



As I said above you can use this as a body wrap to help with cellulite. You mix as directed on the tub and then wrap yourself in saran/plastic wrap, but a sheet or sweatpants and shirt over you to help sweat out the toxins and take a warm shower. Again, I have not gotten to try that aspect as I don't have the unlimited time to be indisposed if you will. But I can't wait to try it SOON!





But I did get to try it as a facial mask/scrub and I did enjoy it. It made my face feel great but I smelt like a walking swamp marsh due to the seaweed smell. If you can tolerate that it isn't bad. If the smell was toned down a little bit I would love it even more than I already do. When using it as a facial the seaweed helps get rid of nasty toxins and help fight acne leaving you with a clean and softer face.
One of the best things, It is certified organic and 100% NATURAL kosher certified seaweed powder!

If you should try the scrub like I did with the sea salt, make sure the salt is finely ground. Trying to rub it on your face is a little rough, and slightly hard to apply, as you can see in my picture of it on my face, the chunks are the salt but it was a little messy applying so I definitely did it over the bathroom sink.. I would also recommend putting on some rubber gloves when applying because if you have long nails like I do, it gets under your nails.



I would definitely recommend this product as I do with all the other insta natural products that I have tried. They put some care into their products that not everyone does.
