Fresh Wave Laundry Booster, Vacuum Beads and Candle Review

The worlds BEST odor removing company. 

As you can see I review allot of products and have reviewed many odor removing products and have never come across something as great as Fresh Wave. I swear by these products and use NOTHING else in my home
but Fresh Wave when it comes to removing odors. 
They have been a daily use in my home the last few years. When I get close to running out (never let them totally run out) I get more fast from my local store or order online. Fresh Wave is a must in my home and should be in your's too. No matter what the odor Fresh Wave takes care of it for you and fast with no harsh chemicals and no overpowering cover ups. In fact Fresh Wave has NO cover up smell, it really has no smell at all
and Fresh Wave just came out with TWO NEW AMAZING PRODUCTS

Fresh Wave® natural odor removing products use simple, pure and natural ingredients — water and natural extracts of lime, pine needle, aniseed, clove and cedarwood -- to get rid of organic and inorganic odors. As in gone. Adios. Goodbye. Rather than covering up odors with perfumes and chemicals, our products actually make the odor molecules disappear. So when we say that odor is outta here…we’re not kidding. 

odor removing vacuum beads
​Bad odors are exhausting. Fresh Wave is your relief. Cleaning the carpet shouldn’t result in polluting your fresh air. Fresh Wave Vacuum Beads prevent vacuum exhaust odors from making your home smell every time you run the sweeper. Plus (total bonus) they also keep your vacuum smelling fresh between uses.

Our vacuum always smell like dogs when we use it, go figure we have two dogs and two cats. I honestly don't like vacuuming for that reason. I feel like I am cleaning then filling the air with what I think it wet dog smell. 
I usually have my boyfriend vacuum (he calls it sweeping) while i'm at work. But now I am all willing to. 
With Fresh Waveodor removing vacuum beads those odors are now gone. I just add a small cap full to the canister after emptying it and when I go to vacuum the floors no more yucky dog or vacuum odors. SO HAPPY!
Just another great product from Fresh Wave. I had no doubt when I received this that it wouldn't work. I knew after just one use I would be hooked. I was right. When I say this stuff works, I am not joking. Everything Fresh Wave is by far the best product you will ever use to remove odors.
Stop wasting money on all those products that just cover up smells. 

laundry booster
Loads of happiness is within reach. Fresh Wave Laundry Booster removes odors using natural ingredients. No harsh chemicals. No harmful ingredients. Give your laundry detergent a boost and remove difficult, set-in odors. Add 2 to 4 capfuls during
the wash or rinse cycle. 
( I only add 1/2 a cap to a full load and
have excellent results)
You can even remove washer odors by wetting a rag and applying some laundry booster to that rag rub around inside the tub, seals and door of the washer. 
Those odors will be gone. 
I have found by just using this product once a week with towels and bedding my washer, towels and bedding smell great. Even my dryer has no odors in it, not that I had ever noticed any before but now it just smells fresh. 

Buy laundry booster here

Another great Fresh Wave product. 
Before our towels always had a sort of musty stale smell to them. I think it's cuz there is only two of us and we try and only wash a load once every 2 weeks. Now with just a 1/2 a cap full of laundry booster the towels come out smelling so fresh and clean. I love that I can trust Fresh Wave to help me out. 

odor removing candle
The Fresh Wave soy-based Candle is perfect for removing odors caused by cooking, smoke, pets and more!  Our candle burns cleanly and is environmentally friendly (oh yeah!) And the best part?
It removes stinky things with no fumes or fragrances. 
My ALL TIME favorite Fresh Wave product. 
I have one of these candles in my bathroom & one in my bathroom. 
When I am cooking something that I don't like the smell of or that stinks up the house I burn my candle to keep the smells away. My boyfriend and I love bacon but can't stand the smell afterwards. Our home is smell and bacon smells seems to linger forever. Before beginning to cook bacon I light my Fresh Wave odor removing candle and no more bacon smell around the house. Easy as that. Just light this candle to help keep odors away.
Perfect for bathrooms too.

Alaffia Coconut Reishi Product Line Review & Giveaway

Alaffia is an incredible company that empowers West African communities to become sustainable through the fair trade of indigenous resources. They encourage empowerment through their community projects, their women’s cooperatives, and through education and involvement in their local customer communities. Alaffia firmly believes that the cooperation of people across the world is an essential part of building sustainability in all communities.

Aside from the fact that Alaffia products are amazing, this is a company we should all stand behind. Alaffia’s success is not simply measured by profit.  Their success is measured by empowerment. Empowerment Projects are Alaffia’s mission in action, funded by the sales of Alaffia products. Alaffia invests in their communities because it is their moral responsibility and to ensure African resources empower African communities. The goal is to alleviate poverty and encourage gender equality. Alaffia Empowerment Projects include several Education-Based Projects, Maternal Health, FGM Eradication, Eyeglasses and Reforestation. All of Alaffia’s projects empower Togolese communities to provide their skills and knowledge to the rest of the world and rise out of poverty.

Alaffia sent me an entire face care line to try out for myself and it's incredible. I am loving everything about it from the scent to it's performance. I tend to have sensitive skin so I am very, very picky about the products I use on my face. I have tried scrubs and cleansers of all types and 95% of them dry my face out or leave it red and irritated after only a few days of using them. I also work behind a torch for hours on end so my face is exposed to high heat all day every day. In particular my chin areas will get red and dry so when it comes to which products I use on my face I have to be super choosy.

The Coconut Reishi Purifying Facial Cleanser that Alaffia sent me has been a miracle. It has a soft smooth texture and makes me feel like I'm at the spa. I'm a huge lover of coconut everything so I was ecstatic when I received this selection. I love that the scent is so relaxing and soft. It has no harsh, pungent or alcohol smell like some other brands. It contains soothing coconut, nourishing reishi, and detoxifying charcoal. It gently cleanses the skin, removes impurities, and is non-stripping which makes it ideal for all skin types.

​The Alaffia Coconut Reishi Purifying Facial Cleanser has a thick consistency and is a charcoal color. It comes in a 3.40 oz, easy to use recyclable squeeze bottle with a screw top.

Alaffia has and entire line of Coconut Reishi products including Shampoo, Conditioner, Cleansing Conditioner, Shower Butter, Argan Baobab Facial Serum and Activated Coconut Deodorant.

​ Also in this product line is the Alaffia Coconut Reishi Rose Toning Mist. This mist is to be applied to your dry clean face. After I wash with the Coconut Reishi Purifying Cleanser I spray a few pumps on my face making sure to mist my entire face. This facial mist with soothing coconut, nourishing reishi, and relaxing rose hydrosol, balances and restores the skin's protective layer. This mist also tightens your pores and tones your skin. It has a very light coconut scent and leaves your face feeling fresh, clean and soft.

After I use the Toning Mist I apply the Alaffia Coconut Reishi Nourishing Day Cream. This cream keeps my face soft throughout the day. This is a much needed product working in intense heat and will also be a blessing this winter while I'm blowing glass out in the cold. My skin is exposed to such extremes that this day cream is a must have. For me.... it prevents drying, peeling, cracking and itching. As I mentioned before having skin that tends to be sensitive makes it tough to find a cream/moisturizer that won't sting or irritate my skin. Some creams leave my face and chin in particular, red, itchy and stingy. ​

​This Alaffia Coconut Reishi Nourishing Day Cream contains soothing coconut, invigorating kola, moisturizing kpagnan, balancing tumeric, nourishing reishi, and protective shea. Alaffia Day Cream keeps your skin safe from environmental toxins. To partner with this cream Alaffia also has a Coconut Reishi Hydrating Night Cream  with ingredients that will support your skin's natural rejuvenation process. 

The last but not least of the Alaffia products I am currently using is this Coconut Reishi Hand & Body Lotion. I am in love with the scent of this entire product line which makes covering my entire body with the lotion a pure joy. The scent is delicious without being overwhelming. It is alight and subtle scent that lasts for hours without knocking people down when you enter a room. One thing I hate is when someone is in the car, a plane or theater and they are wearing and overbearing scent that punches you in the face or triggers and asthma attack. LOL Alaffia Coconut Reishi Hand & Body lotion is perfect and so relaxing that I have loved applying it at night before I snuggle into bed. This hand and body lotion contains soothing coconut, nourishing reishi, and moisturizing kpagnan. It hydrates your skin and protects it from the elements. This Hand & Body moisturizer also comes in Coconut Reishi Vanilla Cream so it has an added vanilla bonus.

I first discovered Alaffia at Whole Foods Market. I was walking past and something smelled delicious so I stopped in my tracks and sniffed out where it was coming from and that was how I found this inspiring company.

You can purchase Alaffia products at a store near you. Alaffia makes it simple for you to find a local store by using the product/store locator on their website:  http://alaffia.com/store-locator/

​You can also purchase Alaffia products directly from their website which is pretty cool because the selection is much larger than in the store.

Hyperbiotics Review & Giveaway

By far the BEST "biotics" products I have ever used... Not only did I see results with one of the products right off the bat, they continued to work. Amazing must have products. 

The absolute BEST product in the world. 

I have horrible sinus issues. Have now had two sinus surgeries and deal with sinus problems on a daily basis. 
Sometimes not matter what I do I have stinky breath. I can brush all I want, use mouthwash, eat gum, everything you can think of and nothing helps. I came across a ad one day for hyperbiotics PRO-Dental and thought about giving it a try. I was lucky to get the chance to try this AMAZING product. This stuff rocks!

Every morning (after brushing my teeth and using mouthwash) I chew 1-2 of these minty little pills. 
Usually just one unless i'm having a bad sinus day. 
My yucky breath is gone. 
All throughout the day it stays away. 
It just took about 7-8 days to see results. 
I was amazed. Each day I noticed more and more results, but full results did take the full week. 
Now I don't go a day without missing a pill. 
Just chew, they taste great. No yucky after taste, just like eating a small mint. 

REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR DENTAL CHECK-UPS.
​The probiotic S. salivarius M18 produces an enzyme that helps dissolve and loosen the formation of biofilm and sticky deposits that can eventually lead to problems. The strains M18 & K12 crowd out undesirable bacteria, offering a proactive solution by addressing the root cause of unhealthy gums.

REPOPULATE YOUR ORAL MICROBIOME. 
You might be familiar with your gut microbiome, but did you know that different probiotic strains populate your oral cavity? And, if the balance of good bacteria in your mouth is compromised, dental issues can develop. Even more, poor oral health is often indicative of problems elsewhere in the body. That’s why we created PRO-Dental: so you can proactively keep this often-forgotten microbiome in optimal shape!

---

LIVE MORE HEALTHY DAYS. 
Your mouth is the gatekeeper and the first line of defense when it comes to the microbes that make their way into our bodies. The strains in PRO-Dental are among the most important and beneficial bacteria of the mouth - in fact research shows that K12 can activate your immune system within just 24 hours!

TARGET BAD BREATH AT ITS SOURCE. 
Did you know that when you use mouthwash to prevent bad breath, you kill both the good and bad bacteria? And, did you know that it is up to the good bacteria to keep the bad breath causing bacteria in check? In fact, S. salivarius is often found in healthy mouths yet is deficient in those who suffer from bad breath.

This means that the best long-term solution to eradicating bad breath is to
repopulate your oral cavity with the good guys found in PRO-Dental.

Typically, we try to “mask" bad breath with cosmetic products such as mouth rinses, gums and sprays.
When K12 colonizes in your mouth, it actually crowds out the
odor-causing bacteria and therefore targets bad breath at its root.

MAINTAIN HEALTHY EARS, NOSE, THROAT AND SINUSES. 
When your oral microbiome is populated with strong probiotic colonies, you are equipped with natural defenses against common invaders. PRO-Dental is formulated with targeted probiotic strains to restore the balance of good bacteria and promote oral and upper respiratory health.

This is honestly the best product I have ever tried, if you have fresh breath issues give hyperbiotics PRO-Dental a try, you will thank me... it's only $23.00 not a bad price for peace of mind, no more being embarrassed if your breath smells because after using this product daily, it won't.

PRO-15 is another great hyperbiotics product I take daily. I actually take this one at night, right before bed.  I kept forgetting to take it in the morning so I set them next to my bed and I now take one every night. I like that they are time-released, VERY SMALL Pearls that are EASY TO SWALLOW, lactose free, gluten free, vegetarian and the best part, natural. 
You won't even know you swallowed the thing. It's really that small. 

Time Released Pearls,
Uniquely Formulated to Repopulate Your Gut

After about a week I did notice my tummy issues go away. I have had tummy troubles my whole life. I recently found out they weren't from eating dairy products that I have tried so hard to avoid. It was from gluten the whole time. My body was tricking me. But even still I don't eat 100% gluten free. I try but it's not always possible for me. So I need that small dose of help and hyperbiotics does that for me in the form of a small pearl called PRO-15. 
I have also noticed I take less calcium during the day, I did not realize that taking PRO-15 helped your body absorb vitamins and minerals until I started to write this review. 
This is a huge plus for me, not having a thyroid I usually take 4-6 calcium a day. I am down to 2-4 just morning and with dinner. I notice if I miss dinner dose I don't have hypercalcemia issues starting in the morning. 
Thanks Pro-15 this is huge for me......
This wonderful probiotic is truly perfect. 
Just one or two a day and you will see results, not matter what your tummy issues are from.
​This is a must really for everyone. 

GET 15 TIMES MORE RESULTS THAN WITH CAPSULES. 
With a superior patented delivery method, the probiotic organisms in this formula are released over an 8-10 hour period so they bypass your stomach acids and reach deep into your intestinal tract alive (where they are needed most) so you can finally experience the full benefits that probiotics have to offer.‡

STAY WELL.
 80% of your immune system is in your gut, and when probiotics (the good guys) are abundant in your body, it becomes harder for the bad guys to settle in. PRO-15 replenishes beneficial bacteria for optimal digestive and immune health, helps balance yeast growth, and promotes daily relief from gas, bloating, and irregularity.
​Life should be easy.

---

SUPPORT YOUR IDEAL BODY WEIGHT. 
Did you know that scientists can predict whether people are fat or thin more effectively from their bacterial makeup (90 percent accuracy) than from their genes (58 percent accuracy)? It’s true. Research has made it clear that unhealthy gut flora can undermine even the best weight loss efforts. PRO-15 will help you get your gut back into equilibrium so your waistline can follow.

LIFT YOUR MOOD AND ENERGY LEVELS. 
Fatigue and irritability are often a result of poor vitamin and mineral absorption. PRO-15 helps create a microenvironment inside your digestive system that promotes full nutrient absorption so you can finally feel like your happy, energetic and vibrant self.​

RELIEVE YOUR SENSITIVE STOMACH. 
Hyperbiotics PRO-15 is released at consistent levels throughout the day and throughout your Gl tract; whereas other capsules more closely resemble a bomb being dropped in your upper stomach - releasing all organisms at one time, often causing digestive upset.

For just $25 you get 60 of these small pearls. If you take one a day that's 2 months worth of probiotics.
Even at 2 a day only $25 a month is a excellent deal to cure tummy pains plus a whole
​slew of other issues you might be having. 

Buy PRO-15

A little about hyperbiotics

At Hyperbiotics, we believe that all health begins in the gut.
This belief (though backed by tremendous research) has been reinforced for us through personal experience.
After healing from the parasite Entamoeba Histolytica I became empowered with the knowledge of the role of the microbiome in regard to our overall health and well-being. A paradigm shift occurred as I began to understand the importance of gut health and that everything – from our diets high in processed foods to chlorine in our water, antibiotics in our livestock and even not being breastfed as a child – can leave us severely deficient in one of the most important aspects of immunity: probiotics.
Armed with research and invigorated with possibilities, the concept that bacteria is both the foundation and the future of health ignited my quest to formulate a better probiotic. Hyperbiotics was born.
Using patented technology, we are proud to say that we have developed the world’s most effective probiotic supplements and that we help people feel their best on a daily basis by delivering to them the full benefits probiotics have to offer.

Great Low Carb Bread Co. Review & Giveaway

If you eat low carb this is an excellent site to find foods you can have. 
I have been eating a "Keto Lifestyle" up until about 2 weeks ago when I had to stop in order to get ready for RAI (Radio Active Iodine) Treatment due to my on-going thyroid cancer. When having this treatment you have to cut out a whole bunch of foods and pretty much eat fresh veggies, some pasta and some rice products. So staying on Keto for the time being was not a option. I will go back when I am done (6 -8 weeks) and will use Great Low Carb Bread Co.
​as my source for excellent low card products. 
I was lucky enough to be able to try the Great Low Carb Pasta Fettuccine. The other two products I received contained salt so at this time I was not able to try them out. I did allow my boyfriend to try them, just for review purposes then put them in the freezer so I can have them all to myself when treatments over. 

Great Low Carb Pasta Fettuccine 8oz $8.99 per bag

You get 4 servings in one bag, so money wise this is an excellent deal. 
The noodles taste so fresh and have no slimy texture. You honestly would have no idea you were eating a low carb
​pea protein noodle. They just taste like any other pasta I have had. 
The texture was of any "normal" pasta noodle. 
The taste was outstanding and the options of what to put on-top is endless. 
Since I am on a strict food diet at this time I was able to have a homemade pasta sauce, I made and homemade bread alongside my Great Low Carb Pasta Fettuccine.
One thing I did note on cooking these noodles: 
It states to cook for 10 minutes I felt they were not done to my liking after ten min, so I ended up cooking them a total of 15 minutes . I think they could of  even gone another 2-4 minutes. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8 oz bag and 4- 2 oz servings at only 7 net carbs per serving! 12 grams of Protein and 18 Grams of fiber! The best tasting, lowest carb pasta on the market that has no Soy and is not slimy shirataki. The protein is of the highest quality Pea Protein and is vegetarian as well!

Please note if you are doing RAI and have to be on a low iodine diet you can have this pasta and it's good.

Great Low Carb Everything Bagels
$7.99 for 6 

I can't wait till I can try these, right now they are being stored in my freezer. The package stated once they arrive put in the freezer. So I did. 

Can you believe only 2 net carbs per bagel. 
AMAZING
(my boyfriend said these were amazing, great texture, good taste, you would never know they were low carb)
with cream cheese I can't wait to incorporate these into my morning breakfast routine. Especially on the days i'm running late. They will be a easy grab and go type of breakfast. Or even the bread for a sandwich at lunchtime.

I have not tried this bread, though it does look delicious. I can't have it right now due to the salt, most all the rest of the ingredients I can have. Once I am done with RAI I will try this for lunches or when I am craving toast. Yes I have toast cravings. Before starting Keto I used to have 2 slices of bread with homemade jam every morning. 

Please note on all the bread items:
Summer Blend **** May-October we have a summer blend which we have to add more natural preservative called Enzyme to our products so that they don't spoil in the summer heat. What the preservative does is inhibits the growth of yeast which makes the texture more dense and slightly smaller. It does not affect the flavor or the weight. Its necessary for us to do it this way otherwise we couldn't ship the bread. If its a little dry for your tastes, we recommend putting a damp paper towel over a few slices of bread or bagel and microwaving for 1-15 seconds and then you can put in a toaster and will be perfect.​​

​Great Low Carb Low Fat Chocolate Brownie

I almost forgot to add this delicious brownie into my review... the reason... I didn't even get to taste it. 
My boyfriend took it all for himself the second I took it out of the box. 
I could not have it since it's chocolate and the main reason is it contains sea salt. 
He said it was excellent. Once again you would never know it was low carb. 
​$2.49 per brownie. 
(Label Misprint, 6g of protein not 12g)
Only 55 Calorie and 1.5 grams of fat and 3 net carbs per delicious Brownie!

Boiron Sinusalia® Tablets Review

A great natural way to get relief from sinus issues

I have had sinus issues my whole life and tried just about everything to get rid of them. Even two sinus surgeries. Nothing seems to work or does for a short amount of time. The worst part there are ingredients in them that I have never heard or or can't even pronounce. Some of the things don't react right with daily medications I have to take. 
​Until I found Boiron homeopathic medicines. I can now take something I feel safe about taking, get really good results and know and understand what i'm putting into my body. 

Sinusalia Homeopathic Medicine from BOIRON is one of my favorite ways to temporarily relieve nasal congestion, sinus pain and sinus headaches. For me this works best for my sinus headaches. I get them often. As soon as I get a little sinus issue my sinus headaches come on. I now carry some of these Quick-Dissolving Tablets in my purse and hiking pack at all times. I never know when sinus issues are going to happen and rather be safe then sorry. 
These work naturally with your body, give them a try, you will be happy you did. 

Sinus Relief
USES:*
Temporarily relieves nasal congestion, sinus pain and headache due to the common cold or allergies
DIRECTIONS:
Adults and children 6 years of age and older: At the onset of symptoms, dissolve 2 tablets under the tongue every 2 hours up to 6 times a day until symptoms are relieved.
Children under 6 years of age: Ask a doctor.

​Histaminum hydrochloricum is a homeopathic remedy that is commonly used to treat allergies, asthma, bronchitis, and muscle and joint pain. It is made from histamine dihydrochloride. Dissolve 5 pellets in the mouth 3 times a day until relieved or as directed by a doctor. These work really good to relieve allergies. I use them for common every day allergies. Usually when everything comes to full bloom I get really bad allergies. This is about the only thing I take or I just deal with them. They luckily come and go quick. But I trust BOIRON ​Histaminum hydrochloricum to take care of them for me.

When I first went to use these I had no clue how to get the out till I watched this video.....

ChopSaver Review & (3) Winners Giveaway

ChopSaver is an all-natural, herbal lip care product that makes your lips feel wonderful. I don't know how
​I lived so long without it. 

ChopSaver Lip Care has a really neat story behind it from one amazing trumpet player

Some of you may know who Dan Gosling is. Some may not....
To me he is one amazing trumpet player and here's his story on how he invented ChapSaver.  

ChopSaver inventor Dan Gosling has worked as a professional trumpet player for more than 25 years. He earned degrees in trumpet performance from the University of Illinois and Northwestern University and has performed in every genre available to a modern-day player, including symphonic, opera, ballet, jazz, chamber music, solo recitals and studio recording. Dan has served as principal trumpet of the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and has done extensive work with the Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestra, the Louisville Orchestra and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. He created the formula for ChopSaver in 2004, and formed Good for the Goose Products, LLC later that year to market and distribute ChopSaver. Dan continues to perform on a freelance basis while serving as “ChopSaver Guy” and CEO of Good for the Goose Products.

So, what’s ChopSaver?
ChopSaver is an all-natural, herbal lip care product that I created in my kitchen! ChopSaver was inspired by a random conversation I had several years ago with one of my students. He told me how he treated a lip injury he suffered in a marching band accident with an herb called Arnica. Arnica is a natural healing agent derived from a sunflower. It reduces bruising and swelling. I was so amazed to learn about this “secret ingredient” that I decided right then that I was going to make the best…lip balm…ever! I was obsessed! For the next 2 months, I was like a mad scientist in my kitchen – combining all sorts of natural healing elements and plant-based moisturizers until I had the perfect combination of ingredients. (Of course, my wife thought it was a mid-life crisis!) ChopSaver is full of amazing things like shea butter, mango butter, avocado oil, aloe, citrus oils, grapeseed oil and arnica – all known for their healing, soothing qualities. (Click here to see more.) There’s really nothing quite like it! You might even call it a “Symphony of Ingredients” because musicians all over the world love it. And now medical professionals from dermatologists to oncologists recommend ChopSaver for their patients with chronic lip problems. So, shouldn’t you use a lip balm that actually works? Use ChopSaver!

If you think all lip balms are alike you're wrong.
ChopSaver is unlike anything you have ever tried.
I have been using this brand for a few years now and love it.
I was first introduced when winning a sample off another website from a review just like this one.
So glad I won, I love the stuff.
Recently Dan Gosling contacted me asking me to sample and review his product. Of course I said yes. 

You don't have to be a musician to use ChopSaver. 
Its unique formula of all-natural ingredients will give immediate relief from chapped or sore lips. ChopSaver’s unparalleled blend of long lasting ingredients means you don’t have to constantly re-apply it.
One application of ChopSaver will last for hours. Many have found relief from all sorts of lip related discomfort including chapped lips, cold sores and fever blisters.

ChopSaver helps prevent and soothe lip swelling, chapping and soreness better than any other product. It provides immediate relief and faster recovery time. ChopSaver does not numb your lips. It just makes them feel normal again after a long day of practice or performance. Non-musicians love ChopSaver for the same soothing qualities and relief it brings to wind musicians.

ChopSaver contains herbs and natural emollients with healing and moisturizing properties. The list includes shea butter, mango butter, aloe, vitamin E and herbs known for their ability to fight chapping, swelling and soreness. ChopSaver contains no petroleum and no harsh chemicals which are commonly found in other lip balms. The fragrance is a light, refreshing blend of four citrus oils.

You can get a free sample if you pay for shipping ​Check it out HERE

​What’s wrong with petroleum?
In our opinion, we think there are better ways to build a lip balm. Many experts agree that petroleum and alcohol additives actually dry out the tissue of the lips. You will find petroleum and alcohol additives in many skin care products, but that doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

Why are the herbs in ChopSaver so important?Plants and herbs have been used for thousands of years all over the world. Every culture has used herbs for their healing properties with great success. Many “western medicines” trace their origins to plants and herbs that have been used for centuries. The herbs in ChopSaver include:

• Arnica – used for bruising
• Calendula – treats inflammation
• Comfrey – general wound healing
• Ginger – treats inflammation and stimulates blood flow
• White Willow – often referred to as “herbal aspirin” (people with aspirin allergies should use with caution)

What's the difference between the
Green One and the Orange One?????

ChopSaver 100% Natural (the green one) is made from 100% natural and organic ingredients. ChopSaver with SPF 15 (the orange one) is the same basic formula with sun screens added – perfect for marching band and other outdoor activities. Both products have the same light, fresh citrus scent/flavor. Get one of both for day and night protection!

Once you try ChopSaver lip care you will never go back to anything else. This stuff is great and your lips will thank you for making the change.

doTERRA Review & Giveaway

I am a big fan of essential oils. 
I have a shelf full of glass bottles. But most of these are ONLY used in the numerous diffusers I have all around my house and desk at work. 
I only have two brands I trust to put on or in my body and doTERRA is one of them. 
I met Kimberly off Instagram, she is a Independent Wellness Advocate for doTERRA. 
Recently I had read a post she made about DigestZen an was interested in trying it myself and learning more about it and more products doTERRA sells. 
Kimberly sent me some products to try and write about so I could share my thoughts with my viewers. 
So far I have been very impressed with DigestZen and how fast it works. 
Like I stated above doTERRA is one of the only (2) Essential Oil companies I trust to put on or in my body. 
The rest I strictly use for diffusers to get scents into my home. 

​This is Kimberly and her husband Patrick. I have never personally met either of them but have talked to her a little online and browse all her Instagram posts and follow her doTerra website. 
The two have 5 kids love Jesus, the beach, animals and Doterra!
They homeschool their crazy bunch and they are into all things natural for themselves and their pets.
Kimberly's passion is achieving wellness and her favorite past time is learning more things that God's gift of the oils can do for us. 

---

I received these 3 roller bottles of doTERRA essential oils. 
They may not look like much, but all three are packed with everyday much needed products. 
The first bottle contains PastTense, second contains Balance-Serenity and the third contains Digest-Zen, one of my now favorite essential oils from doTERRA. 

PastTense®  ​Tension Blend PastTense® provides calming comfort with the strength of CPTG® essential oils of Wintergreen, Lavender, Peppermint, Frankincense, Cilantro, Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Basil, and Rosemary. These distinctive essential oils are known for their soothing effects and quickly promote feelings of relaxation and calm. PastTense comes in a convenient 10mL roll-on for easy application when at work, school, or home. Simply apply to the neck, shoulders, or behind the ears. For aromatic and topical use. ​

I really like this oil. It's very calming and soothing. After a long day at work PastTense is the perfect blend to roll on your shoulders, behind your ears and neck. A little goes a very long ways. You will instantly smell the wonderful scents of Lavender, Wintergreen and Peppermint. Along with other smells, those were just the most pronounced to me. 
Just the small amount helps me relax and unwind from a long day. 
PastTense is a must for everyone.
Even nice to use right before bed. I felt it helps with falling asleep faster since my body is so relaxed.

The second bottle is a mixture of the two above oils. 
Balance and Serenity. 
But for now I just roll a small amount behind my ears, shoulders and sometimes wrists when I need it. 
This sits on my nightstand. Almost every night I will roll some on my skin. I am instantly relaxed just from the wonderful scent. This should be a must for every bedside diffuser. 
It has a wonderful calming scent that offers a sense of balance and restfulness. 

dōTERRA Balance®  Grounding Blend Everyone experiences moments of disconnectedness. The warm, woody aroma of doTERRA Balance® Grounding Blend creates a sense of calm and well-being. We perfectly blend Spruce needle/leaf, Ho wood, Frankincense, Blue Tansy Flower and Blue Chamomile Flower essential oils in a base of Fractionated Coconut Oil to offer an enticing fragrance which promotes tranquility and a sense of balance. For aromatic or topical use. ​

​dōTERRA Serenity®  Calming Blend dōTERRA Serenity™ essential oil is the perfect blend to diffuse at bedtime for a restful night’s sleep, to calm a restless baby or child, or to help reduce the worry and stress so many of us feel. dōTERRA Serenity combines the soothing scents of Lavender, Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, and Ylang Ylang with the warming aromas of Hawaiian Sandalwood and Vanilla Bean to create a prized essential oil blend that every home, family, and individual needs.

DigestZen®  ​Many essential oils have been recognized for their digestive health benefits. DigestZen® takes advantage of these well-established healthy compounds in a proprietary blend of pure essential oils. Ginger, Peppermint, Tarragon, Fennel, Caraway, Coriander and Anise each have specific attributes which add to the overall efficacy of this potent blend. When used internally, dōTERRA's DigestZen helps reduce bloating, gas, and occasional indigestion.* For aromatic, topical, or dietary use.

DigestZen to me is the star of all essential oil's. 
This is now a MUST have oil for me. I received 2 glass vials of this, one very small and one with a roller. I carry the roller one in my purse at all times. I love this stuff. 
I have a very upset tummy a huge part of my day. Nothing seems to digest right with me. No matter what iv'e tried, what I eat or what I do I end up with a tummy ache. Even riding in the car for long periods of time my tummy gets upset. Not anymore. I just take out my DigestZen rub a little into my stomach and my bloating, gas, and occasional indigestion is gone. Even upset tummy from being in the car to long goes away. 
This truly is a great product. Iv'e only used it for a few days and I think it's just great.
The best essential oil out there. 

doTERRA On Guard® Natural Whitening Toothpaste  gets your teeth nice and clean. Like that just out of the dentist office clean feeling. I really liked the small sample packet,
I think these would be great for on the go/camping/short weekend vacations. 
​dōTERRA's fluoride-free toothpaste provides the protective benefits of CPTG® dōTERRA On Guard® essential oils while also reducing plaque and whitening teeth with gentle polishing agents. dōTERRA On Guard’s unique cinnamon-mint flavor, with xylitol, also leaves breath (and your toothbrush), fresh and clean.

I have not tried my doTERRA Salon Essentials Shampoo & Conditioner  but I know it's going to be great, just like all the other doTERRA products.  Salon Essentials Protecting Shampoo  dōTERRA Salon Essentials Protecting Shampoo is a professional formula with an invigorating complex of CPTG essential oils, gentle cleansers, and botanical extracts that provide antioxidant protection against UV damage which can cause fading in color-treated hair. A unique combination of plant extracts and essential oils of wild orange and lime provide gentle lathering and a cleansing boost to remove impurities collected on the hair and scalp. Light moisturizers leave hair salon soft and touchable. ​ Healthy Hold Glaze

Salon Essentials Smoothing Conditioner  dōTERRA Salon Essentials Smoothing Conditioner is a salon professional formula of conditioning emollients, essential oils, botanical extracts and natural proteins which seal the hair cuticle against damage caused by water penetration to the hair shaft-reducing combing force and blow-dry time and increasing hair luminosity and shine. Nanotechnology smoothes hair and provides anti-static effect that keeps hair shafts aligned during styling for a smooth, finished look. ​

I know when I was first introduced to doTERRA a few years ago I thought everything was very expensive. I felt like the bottles of oils were so small for the price. But the more I looked into it and the more products I bought I found out you use such a small amount, the prices are for pure essential oils that actually do what they say they are going to do. Everything is the best it can be and it all works perfect. No matter if you just want beautiful healthy hair, healthy skin or to fix a problem with your body doTERRA has something for  you and you will know it's going to work.

Tender Belly Review & 20 lbs worth of BACON Giveaway

BACON is the BEST thing in the world, then you try Tender Belly Bacon and there is absolutely no word for how good it is. THE BEST doesn't even describe this bacon....

I am a bacon-aholic. I can eat a whole package of bacon by myself, I don't usually but I can.
I like bacon on the thicker cut side and bacon that is not to salty. 
When I was introduced to TENDER BELLY Signature Blend Cherrywood Smoked DRY CURED BACON I thought I died and went to Bacon Heaven. This stuff is AMAZING. The taste is to dye for.
It's so juicy and moist and yummy bacon-e goodness that melts in your mouth.
You want to save each piece, taking small bites to savor it.
While cooking you can't help buy grab a piece and eat it, not waiting till you sit down for your meal.
This bacon is best (in my opinion) when it's a little under cooked, I never let it get totally crisp. The fatty pieces just melt in your mouth and the rest being still sort of soft is sooooooooooooooo good.
I can't even begin to tell you how hungry for TENDER BELLY Bacon I am right now. 

I usually cook my bacon on the grill in a cast iron skillet. My boyfriend has this thing about the whole house smelling like bacon. I think he's crazy, but to keep peace I cook it outside, plus it makes my neighbors jealous. 
The smell to me is amazing. 

MAPLE CURED BACON THE MOST HONORED LEGACY OF A GLORIOUS TENDER BELLY PIG IS TRULY GREAT BACON. TENDER BELLY founded their business on their obsession with making great bacon and a passion for heritage pigs. And the most honored legacy of a glorious Tender Belly pig is truly great bacon! The heritage pigs they use for their bacon are from Iowa and are naturally grown: NO antibiotics, NO hormones, NO gestation or farrowing crates, and fed a 100% vegetarian diet. With their exceptional meat to fat ratio they are the perfect belly. Their signature maple and spice rub is applied, the bellies are dry cured and then cherrywood-smoked to perfection. They spare no expense with ingredients, process or time to give you the best possible product. ​Remember: BACON, it’s good for ya!

The second best thing that TENDER BELLY offers that will change your world..... TENDER BELLY FRANKS

I am usually not a franks fan. I always felt they had odd grisly things in them and that just grossed me out. 
But TENDER BELLY Franks are different. THEY ARE AMAZINGLY GOOD. So juicy, sweet and the perfect amount of salty tasting. I could truly eat these every night. Never had one with a bun like you would a frank. They are perfect without. No condiments are needed, though I have dipped them in horseradish a few times. Just plain delicious!
By the way, I also cook these on the grill, it makes the skin have a nice crispiness to it and the insides stay juicy. 
I shared a pack with my son and his girlfriend, they to agreed that they are the best franks ever. 

TENDER BELLY FRANKS SMOKED AND SUBTLY SWEET, OUR FRANKS SIMPLY CAN'T BE BEAT. A lot of fans like to call them hot dogs but that wouldn’t be fair to other hot dog makers. They call them franks because of the extra effort they put into them. They are uncured and 100% Berkshire pork from the hind leg, coarse-ground like wonderful Old World sausage. They’reapplewood-smoked and have a subtly sweet and delightfully salty taste. The snap our frank makes when you bite into it is exactly what you would expect…perfection

TENDER BELLY is a awesome company with some wonderful product, even the shirts and hats are top quality.
I proudly wear my TENDER BELLY shirt and hat. 
If your looking for some excellent pork products, look no future. 

They even offer this cool BACON OF THE MONTH CLUB... For $59 per month you will get 4lbs of BACON. 
This would make a great gift. 

YOU'RE NOT A REAL BACON LOVER UNLESS YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THE BACON EVERY MONTH CLUB!

Sign up for Bacon Every Month Club for a monthly supply of their maple cured signature bacon! They will send you 4 lbs of this delicious bacon every month – with absolutely FREE shipping.

One VERY lucky Simple Side of Life viewer is going to win 20lbs. of this WONDERFUL BACON. That's a $295 value.

Jarlsberg Cheese 60 Years Contest & Coupon Giveaway

Jarlsberg is celebrating 60 years of Jarlsberg® cheese and You — the perfect pair for 60 years.
Enter the WEEKLY PERFECT PAIRING GIVEAWAY for a chance to win a trip to Norway.
August 1 - September 12, 2016, they're giving away 6 trips to Norway to 6 pairs of fans!

ENTER HERE DAILY

We are big cheese eaters and Jarlsberg is always our first choice. 
On salads, burger, as a appetizer or just a snack.
It always has a wonderful sweet and nutty taste. 
Very fresh and just excellent tasting. 
Until you've tried Jarlsberg cheese's you won't know what your missing. 

My favorite Jarlsberg Cheese: SMOKED If you haven’t tried Hickory Smoked Jarlsberg® yet, then you’re in for a special treat! Like most traditional smoked foods it has a darker, browner surface and a piquant, smoky taste. It makes an excellent sandwich filling and is the perfect addition to many hot and cold dishes. Jarlsberg® Smoked will liven up any after dinner cheese board, and if your guests are new to its smoky charms, it may even succeed in interrupting the most in-depth conversation – for a few seconds at least!

ORIGINAL A mild, semi-soft, part skim cheese made from cow’s milk. Jarlsberg® is famous around the world for its characteristic mild, sweet and nutty taste and its large round holes. Jarlsberg® is such a wonderfully versatile cheese - whether you buy it as a regular staple for sandwiches, a complement for salads, a tasty addition to your cheese board or as an irresistible snack! It is available with or without its distinctive rind, either cut to suit your needs (wedges, slices, chunks), as a grab-and-go cheese (Minis and cheese crisps) or as a mighty 10kg (22 lb) wheel. Jarlsberg® is the #1 specialty cheese brand in the USA.

LITE Jarlsberg® Lite has the same mild, nutty flavor as regular Jarlsberg® with 50% less fat and 30% fewer calories, than regular Swiss cheese. This low-fat variety of Jarlsberg® original has the characteristic large round holes, with a lower fat content – perfect for those days when you crave the sweet, nutty delights of Jarlsberg® but need to watch your diet! You can add flair to your sandwiches, wraps and recipes without the calories. Jarlsberg® Lite is available in slices, chunks and as a grab–and-go cheese (lite minis). Jarlsberg® Lite is a great alternative for a lighter recipe as it has very good meltability.

SPECIAL RESERVE This exclusive variety of Jarlsberg® is ripened for a minimum of 12 months. The ageing process retains the characteristic flavors and aromas, but intensifies them to produce a stronger, more robust cheese. It’s a delicacy on its own and an excellent choice for cheese platters or as a finger food for buffets. It’s also well worth experimenting with as a cooking ingredient, where a stronger flavor is required to give your dish some real zing. Jarlsberg® Special Reserve is available exclusively at Whole Foods Market, nationwide.

Entering the Jarlsberg® Weekly Perfect Pairing Giveway is easy. Simply fill out the form at www.Jarlsbergusa.com and, if you would like to double your chances, also post a photo- showing your favorite pairing of Jarlsberg® Cheese and using the hashtag #jarlsbergperfectpairing on Facebook at www.facebook/jarlsbergusa.

Pipcorn Review & Giveaway

Pipcorn was founded by Jeff & Jen Martin, a dynamic brother and sister team. All of their delicious flavors are popped in small batches and seasoned by hand. Pip pip hooray!

The Pipcorn seed was planted when Jeff was helping Jen move apartments in the spring of 2010. In desperate need of a snack, Jen remembered these special little kernels that she had gotten a few days earlier. Five minutes later, they were snacking on the best popcorn they had ever had. Two years later (and an unbelievable amount of support from family and friends), they launched Pipcorn and the rest is history!

Pipcorn has become my newest love!!! Popcorn has always been an obsession of mine and finding Pipcorn has been a miracle for me. Pipcorn is so much different than other popcorn snacks I have had. The popcorn pieces are about 1/2 the size of other popcorn making this the tiny, perfect munchie. Pipcorn is a tiny sized treat that has a huge taste with incredible flavors, like my personal favorite....truffle....yuuuuum...and sea salt, rosemary, kettle and chili lab for those who love a little spice in their life.

I was super lucky to connect with Pipcorn and have the opportunity to try three of their delicious flavors. I had a really tough time putting down the bag of Truffle Pipcorn but luckily it is a healthy snack that's super low in calories so I don't have to feel terrible about eating it. Each serving is only 120 calories and each bag has 4 servings so unlike other snacks you actually get to eat a good portion, not like 5 pieces. LOL

​Pipcorn Perks!!!! *All Natural *Gluten Free *Non-GMO *Vegan *Whole Grain

​Pipcorn is so delicious I never even noticed that it contains NO BUTTER!! I was in shock when I read that because it is so full of flavor. They use olive oil while popping Pipcorn so butter never ever touches it. You will be amazed when you try it. Also, no butter equals vegan so you can serve this at parties and you there's no need to worry about what you are feeding your guest. For me.....living in Northern California having vegan snacking options at my parties is a huge plus.

Another nice thing is that the hulls on these kernels are much more delicate than ordinarykernels. When popped, the shells break up into such small pieces that you wont get those big hard pieces stuck in your teeth as often. Some also say that our kernels are easier to digest

Look for Pipcorn in a store near you. I have found them in many Whole Foods stores in my area. You can check your area by using their handle store locator: http://www.pipsnacks.com/pages/find-us

If you can't find it near you DON'T WORRY you can buy directly off the Pipcorn site. Right now everything on the site is on sale plus free shipping so take advantage of this amazing deal and grab some Pipcorn now:  ​http://www.pipsnacks.com/collections/pipcorn

Mrs. Renfro's Pumpkin Salsa Review & Giveaway

Yes you read that right.... Pumpkin Salsa.....

Ok here goes the honest truth... I let this bottle of Mrs. Renfro's Pumpkin Salsa sit on my counter for 4 days before trying it (un-opened of course) I was that nervous about trying it.... Four days... When I actually went to open the bottle I still didn't taste it for about 30 minutes. Bottle open, on the counter, taco salad night. I was getting everything out like normal so we could put together our salads as we liked. It came time for the salsa. Since I am now eating low carb I had looked all through my fridge for the salsa that was lowest in carbs. Well it turned out Mrs. Renfro's Pumpkin Salsa won, so if I wanted salsa on this taco salad of mine I was going to have to man up and just try it..... WOW, what in the world was I waiting on this whole time. I first used the one and only chip I can possibly eat (made of sesame seeds) and took a small taste.. Humm, let me try a larger taste.... Oh WOW this stuff is good. Now if I wasn't watching my carb intake the whole bottle would be empty right now. This stuff is so good. I am still wondering what my putting it off issue was about. I should of known everything from Mrs. Renfro's is excellent. I have never had a salsa I didn't like. Crazy me next time I will just taste it the minute it arrives.

VeraClean Dish Soap & Multi Surface Cleaner Review & Giveaway

VeraClean Dish Soap & Multi Surface Cleaner

These are by far my favorite two products from VeraClean.
​Not only do they smell WONDERFUL but they work great.
I used both tonight after dinner and was very impressed by the way they work. 

VeraClean has made it their mission to deliver exceptional cleaning power without adding harmful toxins such as bleach, ammonia, triclosan, artificial fragrances, unnecessary optical brighteners and synthetic preservatives. 
Made with quality ingredients that won’t harm you or the environment, even their packaging gives you that high-end feel and helps you remember how important it is to take care of your physical home – and your personal one too!

Buy VeraClean Multi-Surface Cleaner HERE

The Vintage Sage multi-surface cleaner smells so good. It makes cleaning delightful. 
I used this today to clean my quartz counter tops.
It was a perfect way to clean up after dinner and dishes. 
My counter tops were spotless and that wonderful smell lingered around for a few seconds. 
I really like the bottle too, the shape is nice, sort of a short square like container that comes with the spray bottle attachment (included but not installed). It looks nice left out on the counter near the back of my sink.
It matches my VeraClean Dish Soap and Hand Lotion bottle.
The fact that the container isn't huge and would take up very little space under the sink is nice. My kitchen is small so smaller product appeal to me. 

​Finally… A Truly Natural Choice for Clean. VeraClean Multi-Surface Cleaner is a naturally active cleaner that you can use virtually anywhere in your home, office, work place or school classroom. Formulated with Natural Citrus Oils and Citrates to naturally clean and replenish a variety of surfaces. Proudly made in Colorado, USA. 16 fl. oz. [473 mL]

Buy VeraClean Dish Soap HERE

Vintage Sage Dish Soap Cleans dishes, fights grease and leaves dishes sparkling clean without residue. 
I used it tonight and was very happy with how easy my cheesy grease plates came clean. 
The smell was wonderful, just like the Multi-Surface Cleaner. 
The bottle is the same shape as the Multi-Surface Cleaner, the shape is nice, sort of a short square like container that comes with the top attachment (included but not installed). 
Product Description Finally… A Natural Choice for Clean. VeraClean dish soap is a naturally active formula that fights grease and leaves dishes sparkling clean without residue. Proudly made in Colorado, USA. 16 fl. oz. [473 mL]

Paradise Cove       Mocha Mint
Pink Posy             Pink Grapefruit
Lavender Lily        Orange Lavang
Granny Smith        Vintage Sage
Bleu de France      Portland Mist     Quality Thyme

The Natural Choice For Clean

In my opinion both the Multi-Surface Cleaner and Dish Soap are very good products. 
I compared them to a name brand natural products of the same type that I was using. 
I felt that the VeraClean brand did a better job at cutting grease and getting my dishes nice and clean. 
As far as the multi-surface cleaner, the scent alone sold me. I also liked how clean my counter tops were. 
These are both very good products. The price is a little high to me, but I realize you pay for what you get, these are products you can use in your home that aren't harmful to you, your children or pets. They are not watered down, so they will last a long time. A little goes a long ways.

ToiletTree Products ~ Deluxe 500ml Automatic Adjustable Soap Dispenser Review

ToiletTree Products a family owned company with a silly name and intelligent products.

My bathroom is loaded with ToiletTree Products products . It was nice when the house got remodeled to furnish the shower area with wonderful bamboo products from ToiletTree Products & more. This is my favorite company when it comes to bathroom products.
They all are very well made, look great and are very much needed to
​help keep me organized and my bathroom tidy.
Now I have something that belongs in the bathroom but made it's way into my kitchen where it's used numerous times a day and it works great... just as
I expected from another ToiletTree Products product. 

​Deluxe 500ml Automatic Adjustable Soap Dispenser

This automatic soap dispenser makes for a PERFECT addition to my kitchen counter (can be used in the bathroom or anywhere you want) NO more touching the soap bottle with greasy, meat juice or sticky hands. Just hold your hand under the dispenser spout and the desired amount of your hand soap will come out. I have mine on the highest setting so I get a good amount of soap. That way my hands are super clean. Since using the Deluxe 500ml Automatic Adjustable Soap Dispenser from ToiletTree Products I have noticed we wash our hands in the kitchen more but are using less soap. In the 3 weeks this has been on the counter we have used 1/2 the counter of soap. I would of put out a new bottle of hand soap by now. Not only are we saving money on soap, we are creating less waste. Now I just buy one large container of refill hand soap instead of numerous small ones. 
I really like how I don't have to touch anything. 
Perfect for someone like me that loves cooking. 
This would be perfect in the bathroom too. I just found more use for it in my kitchen. 

Best part, besides no more touching the soap bottle with dirty hands... NO DRIP so no clean-up ever. Easy to use, easy to fill and look great on my counter. 

Small raised button ontop - middle is to adjust how much soap you want coming out with each pass of your hand.

Easy-to-use buttons control how much soap or lotion to dispense. Motion sensor technology provides sanitary, touch-free operation. Large Capacity holds 500ml of your favorite soap or lotion. Drip-free design. Lifetime Guarantee – We make quality products and are able to stand behind them.

Unit from the top looking down. The large black circle comes off making the dispenser easy to fill.

​Product Description
As soon as you pick up this dispenser, you will know you have a quality product in your hand. The rubber texture black finish gives the product a rich feel. We noticed the number 1 complaint with products like this is that there is no way to control the amount of fluid that comes out of the unit. Either too much or too little is dispensed. With 5 settings to choose from, our unique design allows you to easily adjust the amount of soap being dispensed. Simply wave your hand under the dispenser’s nozzle and the perfect amount of soap will come out. Motion sensor technology provides a sanitary, touch-free operation at each use and our d
​rip-free design prevents messy counter tops.
This unit holds 500ml of fluid and runs on 4 AA batteries (not included).
