Amazing Biorhythms Review & Giveaway








I am not one to put much stock in Horoscopes and such but I admit, I do read them pretty regularly and pay attention to them.












I came upon a product that I found quiet interesting, and it is actually pretty fun to read. Amazing Biorhythms.

The Biorhythms  shows  your physical, intellectual, and emotional cycles for the next month. It also has a spot where it tells you how many days you have lived. It is a pretty nifty little chart that I had a fun time reading and looking at.


I liked the Emotional cycles aspect of the chart and told my Hubby that he better pay close attention to those days and be super nice to me so I would not have a break down. :)


Basically, you fill in a little bit of information and they send you the chart via email in a downloadable format. The usual turnaround time to get your chart is 48 hours but I got mine in about 30 minutes. These would be great for a gift, especially if you are in a time crunch and really don't have much money to spend. I think it would be a cute item to frame and wrap for anyone, especially teenagers.


What exactly does Biorhythms mean? "Bio" means life and "rhythm" means flowing with a regular movement. We all have three ways of operating in this world; three internal energies interacting with each other in a continuously changing pattern on a daily basis. These are our biorhythms. They are the three cycles of energy that govern the physical, emotional, and intellectual aspects of our lives: Our physical sensations, our emotions, and our ability to reason. Each of these parts has its own ups and downs.




They also have many other cute and fun personalized products you can find on their site HERE, and I can't wait to do some fun projects with some of them. I can think of lots of ways I can use the products they offer and make cute keepsakes and gifts for most everyone I know.



Prices start at only $2, so you really can't go wrong with the products they offer and how fun would it be if you kept track and looked back on your Amazing Biorhythms chart in a month or so to see how accurate it was.


I am giving away 2 Amazing Biorhythms charts to 2 lucky readers! How fun is that!

Giani Granite Review: Transforming My Counter Tops

As most of you who follow my Blog know, We are working on remodeling our 1910 built home. Although I would really love to gut my Kitchen and get a new one , that is just not in the foreseeable budgeted future, so I am doing the next best thing.

The Kitchen has become my first DIY project that I have tackled alone and that Chris actually let me do on my own. 

My counter tops were just plain ugly. I wanted something that looked more modern and made my kitchen look larger than it is. I choose to use a Giani Granite Counter Top Kit to redo the old counter tops. 

Take a good look at what my counter tops looked like before.

As you can see in the picture, I had old tile in some spots and wood in other spots. They were very unattractive.  I choose the Giani Granite White Diamond  Granite Kit to transform my counter tops with.


Giani Granite Counter top kits are super easy and I accomplished it all in a weekend ( most was drying time between steps.


The first step after cleaning them very well was to apply the primer included in my kit, which was black. You apply a very thin coat as you see here.

You let your primer dry for 8 hours before you continue to step 2. It took me about 1 hour to totally prime all my counters. Everything I needed to prime the counter tops was included with my kit.


Next up was applying the 3 minerals included with the kit, which are your prime colors for transforming your counter tops. I applied the Pearl, then the lighter tan color then the bright white. This took about 2 hours to do all of my counters and another 4 hours dry time ( I actually left mine overnight since it was later in the evening when I finished this part)

To apply the color, you use a sponge which is included in the kit, and the best part was that you did not need to wash the sponge out when changing to the next mineral color.


This looks amazing and the picture above is before I put the final sealant on. 

The final step was the apply the sealant. This was the easiest part, and again, everything I needed was included in my kit. This part took about half an hour and was super simple.

My husband was impressed with my accomplishments and at how well the Giani Granite Kit worked. My kitchen still needs work, but this simply made it look so much better already. I have been texting pictures all day to my friends and family because I am in love with my new counter tops.


Below, the final outcome after 2 coats of sealant and after  it had dried for 4 hours.




As you can see, we still have much work to do. The wall paper is 7 layers deep and era 1950's which will be removed and painted  and the cabinets need to be painted ( I am doing this on a budget and all on my own, so I will not be replacing the cabinets)

I was super impressed with the Giani Granite counter Top paint kits and would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to remodel their kitchen or bath on a budget.

Giani Granite has many different Granite Kits to choose from and you can see all the colors HERE

Diet Doc : Pre Packaged Weight Loss foods


 

Diet Doc Has many different kinds of weight loss foods for you to try. They have several pre- packaged options that I enjoy and I am sure you will too if you give them a try.


I had the opportunity to try 3 of  the Diet Doc Soup Mixes which were super easy to prepare and taste great. The Steak Soup was my favorite because the flavors just jumped out at you.

Diet Doc Steak Soup Mix 

Diet Doc uses the HCG method diet plan and offers foods as well as supplements for your weight loss. they are unique in that they do not ask yo to try the typical 500 calorie a day diet as most HCG Diets do, they however recommend a safe calorie intake of between 700-1000 calories per day depending on your needs and can go beyond the usual 40 days other HCG plans require as well.


I also tried the Thai Chicken Soup which was nice and creamy and very filling for me.  The texture was wonderful and the flavors blended right in and in no way did I feel like I was eating a low fat soup.

Diet Doc Thai Chicken Soup Diet Doc has options for you to purchase individual items or a complete 30 day meal plan with all the foods you would need for your diet.


So Now that the New Year is upon us, I recommend you give Diet Doc a try and see how well you like it!

Neocell Super Collagen Powder Review & Giveaway : New Year, New You



It's a brand new year, so why not have a brand new you to go a long with it.





So where do you start? I started with Super Collagen Powder , it's very important to me to keep my hair and nails healthy but even more so, I love the benefit I get for my joints as well, because let's face it, none of us are getting any younger.








Super Collagen Powder supports collagen in tendons, ligaments, hair, skin, nails, and lean muscle. It  is rich in hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, key amino acids.You get added benefits because the body is nourished with collagen 1 and 3 where it is deficient and then super collagen acts as a messenger to trigger the synthesis of new collagen fibers.

I have noticed a great improvement in the tightening of my skin and a big plus is the fact that my complexion is noticeably much better than when I started the Super Collagen Powder 3 weeks ago.


Super Collagen Powder also recently won a Best of Supplements Award from Better Nutrition Magazine and I can personally attest to the fact that it does work wonders.


My nails have never been as strong and as healthy as they are now. They are growing at a normal rate, and they no longer peel and split like they did 3 weeks ago.


My hair is simply amazing! Shiny, healthy and full in just a few short weeks, I am loving how healthy it looks even with daily flat iron or hot rollers.

Neocell has many other products In which I simply cannot wait to try, if they are half as good as the Super Collagen Powder, then they will get an A+ in my book.


NeoCell products, including Super Collagen Powder  are available at Whole Foods Market, Sam's Clubs, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe and health and natural product retailers worldwide.


Neocell is offering one of my readers a chance to win Super Collagen Powder to try themselves!

Patrida Tequilla Review

Although I am not a big drinker, I do enjoy a Cocktail a few times a month. My favorite of all time is a Margarita...and what better way to enjoy it than with Patrida Tequilla.






Patrida Tequilla is made with true Blue Agave and you can tell!  I really enjoyed the unique taste while at the same time I knew I was drinking some top notch Tequilla. The smell alone was not what you would expect from any other Tequilla, it was strong, yet pleasant and  went down easily. I did have a shot just to see exactly how it tasted with any added ingredients, and wow...I loved it.



I had the chance to try Blanco, Repasodo and Anejo Patrida Tequilla. while each had it's own unique flavor, they were all of the top  in taste, smoothness and overall quality.



The Blue Agave from Patrida comes from a field close to a doormat volcano and once moved to the plant to process, is baked in a stainless steel oven instead of like most others who use old stone ovens to cook it.  Once cooked they began the process of fermenting the Tequilla which averages between 36-40 hours...Fresh unaged Tequilla is the final product.


I  used the recipe from the Patrida site to make my margarita's and they were amazing!

PARTIDA MARGARITA


with 100% Organic Agave Nectar
1 & 1/2 oz Partida Blanco Tequila*

1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice

3/4 oz Partida Agave Nectar

3/4 oz Water

Shake all ingredients with ice in a shaker.

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass or over

fresh ice into an old-fashioned glass.


I highly recommend Patrida Tequilla if you are in the market for a fresh new Tequilla which will provide you a nice tasty shot or an even better Margarita.




Durex Products

I recently had the opportunity to try Durex sexplorers products and was impressed with the quality as welll as the variety.


As you can see in the picture, Durex sent tons of samples in which I was able to share with friends. Thsi was an opportunity i gained through CrowdTap and Durex and it was fun to read about the products and try them all out.


Our favorite was the warming lube and it was amazing how long it last.



If you have the chance to try out Durex Sexplorers products, I say Go for it!





The Flex Belt Review

The Flex Belt .....what can I say...plenty as it so happens.



I recently had the opportunity to try out the Flex Belt and I have to say, so far I am quiet impressed. The Flex belt was very easy to set up and get started using. It comes with complete instructions which had me up and running in about 5 minutes after charging the battery.



So, what is The Flex Belt?  It is a belt specifically designed to help you tone your abdominal muscles. First off, I must say, this is not a gimmick to help you lose weight, it is specific to help you tone the muscles in your abdomen while you work on your weight loss or even if you have no weight to lose and simply want to tone up.

I have only been using the Flex Belt for 9 days but I can already notice a definite toning in my abdominal area.




Basically in layman's terms, you apply the belt to your abdominal area which sends electronic signals to your abdominal muscles which cause your muscles to contract, which in turn firms them up. The Flex Belt comes in one size and  has a waist extender for waists for sizes over 44 inches

 It also has a nice little carry/storage bag in which you can put it in when you are not using the Belt. The Belt comes with everything you need to get started, The Belt itself, your battery charger, control box, Pads to apply to the belt, instructions and your carry bag.

It is simple and inconspicuous enough that you can use it any time of day. I have found myself slipping it on while I clean house, before bed and even when I first wake up in the mornings. I love the fact that I can put it on while I sit at my desk and work if I want.It has several different setting in which you can use to get the desired intensity you want to contract your muscles. Personally, I currently have it set on 15 which gives me just the right amount of tingle to get my muscles contracting.






The Flex Belt does not hurt in any way, to be honest, I love the tingling sensation in which it sends to my muscles.






So head on over and check out how you can get toned with The Flex Belt!
