Ok so my entire life I've been super active and had, if I do say so myself, a pretty awesome body. Well then I had 3 kids. I never knew how hard it would be to get my body back. Now I know that my body won't ever be the same, hips have gotten wider, my ribs, etc. but I've seen other moms with hot bodies, I want mine! With each pregnancy I only gained the recommended amount, but found it hard to lose the baby weight. I tried dvds and gym memberships and I usually could get most off but was let with about 10lbs each time. Boy does it add up after 3! So after having my 3rd I hated the way I looked and felt. I got my gym membership and started going atleast 4 times a week for 3months...nothing. I tried different diets...nothing. So I started hearing alot about Shakeology so I thought well I'm sure its basically the same as protein shakes. So I decided to start making protein shakes. I couldn't stuff them down my throat no matter how I tried! Finally I saw an advertisement for the Brazilian Butt Workouts and I said ok this is the last DVD workout I'm going to try. So when I purchased the DVD's it came with a free 7day sample of Shakeology! I completely doubted but I was determined to lose weight. So here's what Beachbody says on the website "You could spend more than $700 on supplements, just to re-create all the healthy ingredients in one bag of Shakeology. But why do that . . . when, for only about $4 a serving, you can get it all in one delicious shake. Lose weight – especially if you replace a meal with Shakeology every day. Reduce junk food cravings – drink it in the morning to enjoy this benefit throughout the day; Increase your energy and feel healthier; Improve your digestion and regularity." I was sent the chocolate and I mixed it with 8oz of coffee and tbsp of peanut butter. I drank the whole shake and continued for the whole 7days. I could not believe how much difference I already noticed in my stomach and when I put on my clothes, there was such a difference. I felt confident and sexy. My husband quickly noticed and started commenting and then so did friends and family. Of course I immediately ordered more! I lost 6 inches on my stomach, hips, and thighs after 3 weeks. This stuff really works! If you want to try it for yourself go to my website! I started selling so I could get a discount on mine every month! You won't regret it!!! -

The picture to the left is from the Beachbody website and here's what they say that other workouts haven't worked because..."You've been training bass ackwards. Most people think that the butt is just one muscle. But it's not. It's three muscles—the gluteus medius, maximus, and minimus. And that's why Leandro Carvalho's million-selling Brazil Butt Lift is GUARANTEED to get your booty bikini-ready in just 60 days or your money back. With Leandro's PROVEN TriAngle Training breakthrough, Brazil Butt Lift helps you hit these three critical muscles from every angle with fun exercises drawn from ballet, capoeira, and Afro-Brazilian dance. The result? With Brazil Butt Lift, you get the tight, lifted booty you can't wait to show off!" Ok so like I said in my Shakeology review. My entire life before having children I was always involved in sports and very much in shape; however, after having 3 children I realized that getting in shape wasn't going to be as easy as it use to be. I tried gym memberships, diets, several workout DVDs. I could usually lose all but 10lbs of the baby weight and after 3 it really added up! So I had been seeing a lot about the Brazilian Butt Life. I was super interested because I always had a "bubble butt" and it wasn't so bubbly anymore! So after looking up reviews on Youtube I decided to give it a shot. I wasn't expecting much so my package arrived and I started unboxing everything. So it comes with 3DVDs, Booty Makeover Guide: Determine your butt type and find the best workout strategy to transform your bum bum, Booty Makeover Calendar: Schedule workouts for lifting YOUR butt type, Fat-Burning Food Guide: Slim down with this easy-to-follow meal plan, TriAngle Training Workout Cards: Use them to work out on the go, Measurement Tracker Card and Tape Measure: Track your sexy progress, and strength resistance band. So I immediately determined my butt type and workout strategy, measured myself, grabbed the calendar and started my workout! So finally I made it through my workout...I'm red faced, sweaty, and had to push pause a couple times to make it through the workout! I couldn't believe it but it felt GOOD!!! I didn't realize what a intense workout it actually was! Every workout I'm pouring sweat, red faced, and trying to catch my breath! I have followed the workouts for 30days now and these are my results so far...STOMACH: 2.5 INCHES, HIPS: 1.5 INCHES, BUTT: 1.5 INCHES, THIGHS: 1 INCH OFF EACH THIGH. My stomach is flat again! I love this workout so much I'm definitely continuing!!! -

I was really intrigued whenever I got the opportunity to try Mystelic Beauty's Nature's Best Vitamin C Serum because I've heard of the benefits of Vitamin C Serum's which include:
Reduces acne by removing toxins & creating collagen for firmer, plumper, healthier skin.
Minimizes Redness of scars and acne by lightening pigment showing a more youthful you.
Instantly gain a smoother complexion and tighter skin for a more radiant beautiful you.
Antioxidants reduce skin damage caused by years of aging, uv rays & pollution.
Reverses the effects of aging, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Stimulates the synthesis of collagen making your skin look years younger, firmer, & more vibrant.
Directions for Use:
Apply small amount with fingertips to freshly cleansed and toned face, neck and decollate areas, avoid direct contact with eyes.
Allow time to absorb prior to moisturizer application.
Apply 1-2 times daily, depending on your skins need and sensitivity.
I have been using this Serum for 3 weeks now and I'm really astonished by the results. I do seem to have less breakouts since starting. I do notice a slight lightening in a scar. But the biggest result was in the instant change in my skin texture. I'm constantly battling a rough skin texture no matter the products I slather on my face! So after just a couple days, to feel my skin start to feel like my children's skin, I was thrilled! It's the perfect consistency for applying, not too watery. Works for all skin types, dry, oily, sensitive because it's made from Pure Natural Organic Ingredients. It does have a little bit of a woodsy scent, but it does fade pretty quickly and for a product that really works, totally worth it. It's got a 4.6 out of 5 rating on Amazon and is reasonably priced compared to most skincare products, so go try it!

I was very intrigued to try the Kiss Me Organics: Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder. The benefits are:
ALL DAY ENERGY & FOCUS: Lift your vitality and concentration with the slow release natural energy. CALORIE BURNING BOOSTER: Support your weight loss goals with an all-natural way to increase your body's metabolism. Consuming matcha green tea can increase the body’s own rate of burning calories from a normal 8-10% to between 35-43%.
LATTES | SMOOTHIES | BAKING: Kiss Me Organics Matcha Green Tea Powder arrives in an easy-to-use airtight health grade packaging allowing for as much or as little use as you need for any occasion. Enjoy a relaxing latte in the morning, bake a dozen cupcakes or simply add a small boost to your morning smoothie
137x ANTIOXIDANTS OF BREWED GREEN TEA: USDA Organic Matcha Green Tea can only be used in a powdered form because, unlike brewed green tea, it contains the entire tea leaf which dramatically increases the nutritional content. This boosts your body’s natural defenses against oxidation and can prevent many age-related diseases.
Improved skin health: Matcha Green Tea helps protect the skin from UVrays, while improving blood flow and oxygen levels.
I have been drinking using it for 2 weeks now and it has replaced my coffee! I love caffeine because being a mom of three, I need all the energy I can get. I love that I get that feeling from this product AND it’s a lot healthier. I stay fit and try to eat and drink healthy but I’m not one that’s going to force anything down my throat, I want to enjoy it. It tastes so good and there’s soo many recipes drinks to cupcakes to try. My favorite is a Green Tea Shake:
Ingredients:
1 tsp. Matcha
2 tsp. warm water
½ cup ice cream
2 tbsp. milk
Instructions:
Combine warm water and matcha, stir until blended.
Add remaining ingredients into a blender and run until smooth.
Pour matcha mixture on top and run for 5 to 10 additional seconds, or until milkshake turns green.
Pop in a straw and enjoy!
Also they offer a Hassle-Free MoneyBack Guarantee!

My skin was never acne prone, until my 20’s after I got married and started having babies! I guess hormones are to blame but have yet to find a solution to that. I have tried every type of exfoliator, cleanser, soap, and mask. I got the chance to try out the Adovia Exfoliating Dead Sea Facial Salts. According to Adovia these facial salts:
Improve your complexion
Refresh and firm your skin
Infuse you skin with Dead Sea minerals
Remove dead skin cells and pore clogging particles
Eliminates bacteria and excess oil
Stimulates facial skin circulation and tightens pores.
Directions: Apply salt to a clean wet face and massage gently. Rinse off with warm water. Follow with moisturizer and/or follow your normal skin regime. If you have sensitive skin you need to mix these facial salts with a cleanser or mask to create a gentle scrub. An extra tip is to mix the facial salts with some olive oil. You get the exfoliating effect and skin stays moisturized and smooth.
I have sensitive skin so I use it about 2/3 times a week so it doesn’t dry or irritate my face. I mix it with my Mary Kay Clear Proof Clarifying Cleansing Gel. When I use it my face feels so clean and smooth. I also use it on my neck, chest, and upper arms where I breakout with those red bumps and it really helps! Overall, I would most definitely recommend Adovia Exfoliating Dead Sea Facial Salts to everyone who has oily and blemish filled skin, even for normal or combination as well. If you have dry skin, make sure to only use a couple times a week so it doesn’t dry out your skin more. Be careful when opening it because it is filled to the top! It is a 2 month supply and pretty reasonably priced plus they offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee!

I got a chance to try out Azure Naturals ULTIMATE RETINOL Anti Wrinkle Serum. With 2.5% Retinol 10% Hyaluronic Acid Vitamin E Organic Green Tea Organic Aloe & Jojoba Oil. Retinol, Vitamin A, is an antioxidant, and thus can interrupt the free-radical damage process that causes skin to look and act older. Which helps in preventing wrinkling and increases collagen production. Retinol is effective at managing acne and eczema, as well as improving discolorations and wrinkles from sun damage. Studies have shown that Retinol can help more than 100 skin issues. There are so many benefits to Vitamin E but one of the biggest is it’s role as a very powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E helps prevent cancer, heart disease, strokes, cataracts, and some of the signs of aging. This is not to mention the benefits of Hyaluronic Acid, Organic Green Tea, Aloe, and Jojoba Oil.
I use this product after cleansing and toning my face. I do have some fine lines that seem to be fading. It makes my face and neck feel really smooth. I also apply mine on my chest because it’s just as visible as my neck in most clothes. It’s very cooling and soothing after I exfoliate my skin. It is light and not overly greasy like some products. I’ve had no problem with any irritation or drying out. I love that it has no alcohol or parabens, especially since I am applying it to my skin every other night. Made in the USA With The Highest Quality Natural and Organic Ingredients Available: 97% Natural, 72% Organic. Contains No Alcohol, No Parabens, Plant Based, No GMO's, Cruelty Free and Never Tested On Animals! ONE YEAR MONEY BACK GUARANTEE: A 365-day, 100% Hassle-Free, Money Back Guarantee with a full refund including shipping!

I was intrigued to try Adovia Mineral Eye Gel. I have previously tried Adovia’s Exfoliating Facial Sea Salts at Home Microdermabrasion and really liked the product and what it did for my skin. Adovia says the benefits are:
Reduce Puffiness Under and Around The Eyes - Makes Eyes Appear Years Younger and Radiant!
Gets Rid of Dark Circles Under Eyes - Your Eyes Will Look More Youthful and Refreshed!
Formulated Specifically for The Gentle Area Around the Eyes - this Light Eye Gel Absorbs Quickly into Skin for Deep Hydration.
Dead Sea Salt Delivers an Immediate Infusion of Dead Sea Minerals - Essential for Proper Skin Health and Beauty.
Contains Vitamin C which Delivers Powerful Antioxidants Deep Into Skin Cells.
The Adovia Mineral Eye Gel is thick so a little goes a long way. The gel is clear and absorbs into the skin quickly and smoothly. It pampers and rejuvenates the skin, leaving my eyes feeling hydrated and healthy. The Adovia eye gel did help to reduce the puffiness which is always a big help. As far as the dark circles go, it got rid of most of it but not all of it. The Adovia Mineral Eye Gel is good for all skin types. It’s cruelty free and made with all natural ingredients. It’s reasonable priced compared to other similar products. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a product to reduce eye puffiness and dark circles. I’ll likely purchase it in the future but will continue to search for my “miracle” eye gel!

This stuff is AMAZING!!! My son is 10 months old and has Eczema. Ever since he was a month old I have been battling his skin and losing! His hands, feet, behind his knees, and even on his face! I tried all kinds of creams, changed laundry detergents, medicine; and then my sister in law, who just had my nephew, said he had just popped up with some light irritation and she got this Neosporin Eczema Anti-itch Cream and it cleared it right up. So as much as I doubted it because I had already tried so many, I was desperate! It had gotten so bad by this point that his skin was cracked and bleeding! So I started applying it 3 times a day to his break out areas. Like magic in 3 days it was COMPLETELY healed!!! His skin was so soft like a baby's skin should be. I actually cried because it hadn't felt like that since he was born! Now if you go to get some yourself it is not on the baby aisle, it is with the other Neosporin, which is why I never tried it because I only picked things from the baby aisle. -
