YUMI Vitamin C Serum is Light and Refreshing


Ingredients: Aloe, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ethoxydiglycol, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, Licorice Root Extract, Camillia Extract, Prunica Granatum Extract, Blackberry Extract, Coffea Robusta Seed Extract, Cranberry Fruit Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract, Uva Ursi Leaf Extract, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Morinda Citrifolia Fruit Extract, Raspberry Fruit, Brassica Oleracea Acephala Leaf Extract, Aristotelia Chilensis Fruit Extract, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Caprytyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol.
The product is contained in a plastic pump bottle with cover. This minimizes contamination and contact with the environment that can lead to oxidation.

The Product: The product is a light liquid. One-two pumps covers the entire face. It spreads on very easily and absorbs quickly. There is a very minimal scent that should not interfere with perfume or other scents used on the skin. It feels soothing on the skin and relieves the dry tightness. Following application you can feel the skin softening and smoothing. Skin feels supple and firm with no dryness. The Hyaluronate helps to retain moisture in the skin. The varied fruit extracts and 25% Vitamin C add an exfoliant effect upon cleansing. This serum is light enough to wear under makeup and should be used twice a day for the most benefit. The smoothness of the skin remains even after cleansing. Continued use helps to intensify the benefits and retain moisture. There is also a 100% satisfaction guarantee, which shows that the maker really believes in the product. While I realize that your results may not be identical to mine, I would recommend this product for soft, smooth skin on the face and neck.

Foxbrim Seaweed Complex Lotion for Softness, Smoothness of Face and Body


Ingredients: Organic Aloe, Palm Oil, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Organic Safflower Oil, Botanical Hyaluronic Acid, Ocean Mineral Complex, Blue Green Algae, Irish Moss, Wildcrafted Yarrow, Shea Butter, Organic Jojoba Oil, Vitamin B5, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Xanthan Gum, Wildcrafted Green Tea, Citric Acid.
Contained in a plastic pump container with a small opening that also has a small plastic plug. This prevents air and environmental elements from entering and prevents oxidation. It is not tested on animals, is made in the USA and remains good for 12 months after opening.

The Product: This creamy lotion is easy to dispense. The recommended amount is a "dime size" for the face and this is enough to cover the face fully. An additional small amount can also be applied to the chin and neck area. The company also says that it can be used over the whole body as a moisturizer. It spreads smoothly and easily over the face and body. Immediately it is soothing to the skin, reducing tightness. It does have a rather strong scent. The scent lingers while the product is being absorbed by the skin and then it lessens. This scent may interfere with the scent from perfumes that may also be used. As the product is absorbed the skin becomes softer and smoother. This lotion does absorb fully so you can apply sunscreen and/or makeup over it. The skin remains soft throughout the day and even after cleansing the skin is soft and smooth. I would suggest application twice a day, with a slightly larger amount at night for stronger moisturization and lighter during the daytime for continuous moisture and softness. The product contains Hyaluronic Acid while helps to moisturize and retain the moisture. Added moisture to the skin fills in tiny lines and wrinkles, softening the face and making it appear younger. I would recommend this product for it's ability to smooth, soothe, soften and moisturize the skin. The only minor negative is the scent. While others may not have exactly the same benefits as I had from this product, I think it will improve skin appearance and relieve dryness. This product can be purchased on Amazon.com

Zenwise Labs Super Strength Ultra-15 Probiotics Good for Your Tummy When Your Tummy Isn't Being Good to You


Ingredients: Contains 10 natural probiotic cultures: Lactobacillus Acidophilus, L. Plantarum, L. Casei, L. Salivarius, L. Rhamnosus, L. Helviticus, Bifobacterium Bifidum, B. Lactis, B. Breve, B. Longum. Other ingredients are: Dicalcium Phosphate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate and Silicon Dioxide. The product is made in the USA. Expiration date was 3 years from the date of purchase. A doctor should be consulted prior to using with pregnant or nursing women, have a known medical condition, or for use in children under 18.

The Product: The product comes in an easy to swallow tablet. It is used once a day with or without food. It is designed to improve intestinal health. Within the intestines we have good and bad bacteria. Processed foods, smoked foods, alcohol, chemicals and other items we ingest can lead to an increase in the bad bacteria. This can lead to gastrointestinal issues, lowered immune system, and basically when the bad bacteria takes over your entire health can be affected. Probiotics work to improve and increase the good bacteria in your stomach. There are many probiotics on the market, but what I like about Zenwise Probiotics is that it has a high live colony count and 10 probiotic strains, which increases their effectiveness on improving intestinal health. I took mine before my dinner meal, once per day. It helped to decrease my gastrointestinal issues and I felt better. Currently, we are in the midst of a nasty flu season, so I have been taking the probiotics to build up my immune system and to hopefully reduce my chances of catching the flu. So far, it's working. For further details on the exact strains of bacteria in the 10 natural cultures you should contact the company. While your results may not be exactly like mine, I would recommend this product for everyone looking for help with digestive issues. You can find this product on Amazon at Probiotics Supplement - For Men, Women & Kids - 10 Strains and 15 Billion CFU - 100% Natural - 60 vegetarian tablets for a month long supply. Improve Colon Health, Immune System, and Digestive Health. Formulated for both Adults and Children.

Pure Body Naturals Peppermint Oil Is Perfect for Aromatic, Medicinal and Household Uses


Ingredients: Peppermint Essential Oil, Therapeutic Grade

The Product: Pure Body Naturals Peppermint Essential Oil comes in an amber glass bottle with an eye-dropper. The amber glass is useful for preventing changes to the product from sunlight or direct light. It is not tested on animals, is cruelty free, and remains potent for 12 months after opening. Peppermint Essential Oil, like other essential oils, has aromatic, medicinal, and household uses. The Pure Body Naturals Peppermint Oil is perfectly scented to work well in diffusers, on cotton balls or even on small pieces of paper to lift and revive your spirits aromatically. The scent of this peppermint oil is not overpowering or acrid. It is very pleasant and gentle, but still strong enough to enjoy on it's own or for full house scenting. It removes unpleasant odors and the scent itself energizes and invigorates. It clears the sinuses, improves breathing, relaxes muscles, increases mental focus and can boost energy. This oil can be used full strength for aromatherapy. For medicinal and household uses it is usually diluted with a carrier oil or cream, or with other cleaning products. Medicinally, peppermint oil has been used to freshen breath, reduce nausea, can be used with a lotion to massage tight muscles and reduce pain, energize scalp when a few drops are added to shampoo and/or conditioner, and also works as a natural bug repellant. Again, using peppermint oil medicinally, it should be diluted with water, lotions, or other oils. I use it frequently to clear my sinuses and to soothe and energize my scalp in a conditioner. Mixing it with a mild lotion helps ease my muscle and joint aches. It can also be mixed with coconut oil. Applying the peppermint oil to skin imparts an immediate cooling sensation which then has a calming effect. This particular peppermint oil smells so good that you can actually go out in public after you have applied it to sore muscles. I received many compliments about how great it smelled, especially since it was during the Christmas holidays. For household uses, in some cases, it can be used at full strength. I used it to freshen my garbage disposal, mixed with vinegar which I use to clean up counters and small messes. Once Spring and the bug season starts I will put it on cotton balls and put in my cupboards to repel bugs. Also, since we sometimes have problems with ants, especially after heavy rains, I plan to put some strategically around the outside of my house. My dog, who sometimes goes into forested areas has had a problem in the past with ticks. I will be putting a drop of peppermint oil on the outside of her collar (not the area that actually touches her skin). Using this peppermint oil in cleaning solutions helps to freshen, clean, and delightfully scent the whole house. I definitely would recommend Pure Body Naturals Peppermint Oil as it is high quality and all natural. The 4 oz. bottle will last a long time since it will be mixed with oils/lotions/creams/cleaning solutions. It is therapeutic grade and bottled in the USA, so I trust it. Do use caution to keep this out of the reach of children, do not use during pregnancy, and avoid using near the eyes.

Pure Body Naturals Lemon Oil Can Make Your Life Better


Ingredients: Lemon Peel Oil
The Product: Pure Body Naturals Lemon Oil comes in an amber glass 4 oz. bottle with eye dropper. The amber glass keeps the product from oxidizing over time. The Lemon Oil was produced in Italy and bottled in the USA, not tested on animals, and stays fresh for 12 months from date of opening. It is 100% Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil. The uses for pure oils are endless, but can usually be broken down into Aromatic, Medicinal, and Household. The first thing I did with this lemon oil was to put 7 drops in my garbage disposal to remove the scents that lingered from grinding food scraps. It worked wonders and I plan to do this weekly to keep those odors away. Other household uses are in the laundry (8-15 drops added to detergent, and/or 8 drops added to dryer sheets), added to dish soap and to cleaning products. I primarily use vinegar as a cleaner for counters and pet messes. Adding 7-10 drops to a spray bottle of vinegar reduces the vinegary smell, and the natural antiseptic, disinfectant properties aid in cleaning. You can add a drop or two to your furniture polish to give a great shine and scent. You can also use lemon oil to remove stickers or gummy residue. When used aromatically or medicinally, lemon oil should never be applied full strength. You can add it to creams, carrier lotions, water or other oils. Jojoba and grape seed oil make excellent carriers for the lemon oil. When used on the skin in a carrier, you should wait until it's fully absorbed before going out into the sun, as it can increase the likelihood of sunburn. It is wonderfully refreshing, energizing and also calming aromatically. Mixed with lotion it can be great as a massage lotion and also helps with headaches, opening the sinuses, and uplifting the senses. You can add a few drops to your shampoo or conditioner to refresh your hair. You can also add lemon oil to your diffuser to remove odors and to provide a fresh, clean scent to each room. This is high quality lemon oil, concentrated and natural. Only a small amount is needed in all it's many uses for the home, health, and spirit. I would definitely recommend Pure Body Naturals Lemon Oil as it worked well for me in the laundry, removing odors, cleaning counters, floors, and furniture, and energizing my body. Do use caution to keep this out of the reach of children, do not use during pregnancy, and avoid using near the eyes.

The Product: The product comes in a clear glass bottle with a pump. This protects the product from contamination. It is not tested on animals, is made in the USA and stays fresh for 12 months once opened. Only a small amount of the serum is needed to pat or gently smooth on skin. It has a light, fresh rose scent, which lessens once it is absorbed. It absorbs quickly and leaves skin soft and hydrated. The serum lessens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Since the serum is so light-weight and absorbs so well it can easily be used under makeup or sunscreen. The hyaluronic acid in the serum works to help the skin retain moisture. It reduces tightness, flakey or itchy patches of skin and dryness. Hyaluronic acid is naturally contained in the body, but as we age there is less of it and we need the boost of serums such as this one to obtain and retain moisture and softness. Continued use keeps skin dewy and soft. Even after cleansing the skin remains soft, however it is recommended to use this serum on a daily or twice daily basis. The skin is affected daily by air pollution and the environment, which can lead to dryer skin and damage to the skin. This product soothes the parched skin. Additionally, since the majority of ingredients in this product are organic, purity is assured. While your results may not be exactly like mine, I would recommend this product for everyone looking for improved skin appearance and ongoing smoothness and softness.

Summit Nutritions Garcinia Cambogia is Powerful with 85% HCA


Ingredients: 85% Garcinia Extract, Hydroxy Citric Acid, Natural Calcium, Sodium Salt

The Product: In the world of weight loss products one stands out and that is Garcinia Cambogia. It was recently touted by a famous television doctor as being a wonder pill for weight loss. I have tried a number of versions of Garcinia Cambogia and learned that the higher the Hydroxy Citric Acid (HCA) the better it works. This product by Summit Nutritions is very effective. It is 85% HCA, is natural water extracted with no fillers, binders, sugars or artificial ingredients. It is also GMO-Free (no genetic modifications here) and Gluten Free. It is made in the USA in a certified facility. You take 1 capsule with a glass of water about 30 minutes before a meal. Amazingly, instead of your hunger growing before you eat, you find that your appetite is reduced. You can eat a moderate, appropriate portion and feel full. Later, the hunger and cravings are also reduced. I found that my "night eating" was curbed and often I didn't need "snacks". Additionally, it helps to more efficiently burn fat. I had no side effects and felt a slight improvement in my activity level and mood. The more moving around I did, the more calories I burned and I did lose several pounds while taking this product. While you may not have the results that I had, I would recommend this product for people to try and see if it works for them. Sometimes it is necessary to kickstart the activity level from couch-potato to moderate-mover. In a country plagued by obesity, we need to re-examine our motivations for eating and rein in our over- or un-necessary eating. This is a product that can help.

Pure Body Naturals Argan Oil is Pure Perfection for Hair, Skin, and Nails

Ingredients: Organic Virgin Cold-Pressed Argan Oil

The Product: This 100% certified organic argan oil comes in a large 4 oz. amber glass bottle with an eye dropper. This keeps the product fresh and reduces contamination and oxidizing. The oil is silky smooth and applies easily. Only a small amount is needed and then it should be gently massaged into the hair, skin or nails. Immediately there is a soothing moisturizing, with dryness disappearing as the product is absorbed. I used this product for the dry ends on my hair and it worked very well and actually continued working even after I washed and conditioned my hair. It kept my dry ends from becoming frizzy and improved the overall texture. I also began using this Argan Oil on my winter-dry feet. It softened the calluses and kept my heels from cracking due to the dryness of the winter weather. With continued use my calluses seemed to shrink and become more like the surrounding skin. I plan to continue using it to prepare my feet for wearing summer sandals. A nice side benefit was that as I was applying the Argan oil to my hair and skin, it was also being absorbed by my nails and hands. Softness returned to my chapped hands and they seemed to heal. My cuticles softened and even my nails seemed less dry. I also used the Argan Oil on dry patches of my skin and face. It seemed to remove the dryness and even the slight wrinkles and tightness of my skin. This product is imported from Morocco and packaged in the USA. One warning is that the product, argan oil, is derived from tree nuts, so if you have nut allergies you may need to use caution. It is not tested on animals and is cruelty free. Once opened, the product remains fresh for 12 months. While your results may not be exactly like mine, I enjoyed using this product to repair my hair, skin and nails and do recommend it.

InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Gel to Refresh and Refine the Eye Area

Ingredients: Deionized Water, Organic Aloe, Matrixyl 3000, Palmitoyl Tripeptide 3, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Plant Stem Cells, Cucumber Hydrosol, Organic Jojoba Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, MSM, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Carrageenan Gum, Silk Amino Acid Blend, Periwinkle, Organic Licorice, Wildcrafted Eye Bright, Wildcrafted Reishi, Organic Gotu Kola, Frankincense, Vitamin E, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Ethylhexyl Glycerin

The Product: This gel goes on easily and smoothly. Only a small amount is needed for application. I used this around my eyes, as well as over my whole face. Gently pat it around the eye area and if there is extra, smooth it above brow line and over the small area between the brows which is prone to hold wrinkles. There is a very small, light scent that disappears once absorbed. Once applied the gel is cooling and soothing. Immediately, fine lines are smoothed and skin looks and feels hydrated. Once again, Hyaluronic Acid is the key ingredient to help moisturize and retain moisture in the skin. It is aided in doing this by the Matrixyl 3000 and MSM. Continued use kept my skin radiant and dewy. It is good to use this twice a day and can be worn under sunscreen and makeup. While I can't guarantee you will have exactly the same results as I had, I can definitely recommend this to boost the appearance of the thin, delicate skin around the eye area.

InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Serum for Hydration, Balance and Smoothness Around the Eye Area

Ingredients: Deionized Water, Organic Aloe, Vitamin C, Botanical Hyaluronic Acid, Matrixyl 3000, Palmitoyl Tripeptide 3, Plant Stem Cells, Vitamin E, Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil, Acrylates, Undaria Pinnatifida Cell Culture Extract, Astaxanthin, Vitamin B-3, Wildcrafted Reishi, Organic Passionflower, Caffeine, Organic Gotu Kola, Wildcrafted Horsetail, Wildcrafted Dandelion, Wild Geranium, Sucrose Stearate, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Lecithin, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol

The Product: The first thing that you notice about this serum is the color. It is a peachy pink. The scent is a light citrus. Using the eye-dropper, a few drops is plenty to pat around the eyes, but I liked the feel and smell of this product so much that I used it on my whole face. It blends in easily and quickly. The color is not apparent on the skin. The scent did not linger and was not overpowering. Immediately, the skin feels cooled and refreshed. Once it is absorbed the skin feels soft and smooth. Even after using a cleanser the skin remains soft. There is a slight plumping effect which lifts away fine lines. When applying to the eye area, never rub the serum in, just gently pat and it will quickly absorb. If you have too much of the product on your cotton ball or finger, just pat the rest over other areas of the face. This product contains hyaluronic acid and other ingredients that help to maintain hydration. Dryness can make fine lines and wrinkles stand out, so helping the skin retain moisture will improve the skin's appearance.

I really enjoyed using this product. It made my skin feel soothed and hydrated. Because it absorbed so well I was able to use it under my sunscreen and makeup. While your results may not be exactly like mine, I think there are significant benefits from this product.

Organic Matcha Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Powder by KissMe Organics Revives and Refreshes

Container: The product comes in a metal can. Once the top is removed there is a pull tab to remove the inner cover. Once this is removed the Tea Powder is contained in a mylar-type bag. This combination of container and linings really protect the delicate tea powder and ensure freshness. The product is stamped as USDA Organic, All Natural Non-GMO, Vegan and Grown in Japan. The net weight is 1 oz. It is recommended that consumption occur within 2 months of opening the product.

Ingredients: Organic Matcha Green Tea

The Product: While this tea could be prepared by any usual method, the recommended method for 1 teacup of tea is to place 1/2 teaspoon of the matcha powder into a bowl or cup, add 3 oz. of hot water, whisk in a zigzag pattern until the tea is dissolved and becomes frothy. I found that when making more than 1 teacup full, using a stick blender quickly dissolves and froths the tea. Basically the 1/2 teaspoon is equal to 1 gram of tea powder. The container holds 29 grams of the tea powder, so there are approximately 29 servings per oz. The flavor of the tea is delicate and refreshing, very unlike the average green tea. It also contains more antioxidants than regular brewed green tea. This is due to being able to consume the entire tea leaf which has been ground into a fine powder. The product is a first harvest, which makes it a ceremonial grade. Sugar can also be added if more sweetness is needed, but I found that the flavor is so delicate that it is preferable to drink it without sugar. This is not a tea that you quickly drink, this tea is meant to be savored and sipped slowly. The fresh scent arising from the cup is relaxing and meditative. I enjoyed this tea very much and the ritual of preparation and slow consumption helped me calm down from a busy day. KissMe Organics Organic Matcha Green Tea is for health of the body and centering of the mind. It is an experience, not just a beverage.
