I am so impressed with this Garden of Life Raw Organic protein & greens. Just can’t believe how pure it is with all these whole foods and all the testing and certifications they are awarded. It tastes great and goes wonderfully in my morning smoothies. Have already got my mom hooked from one glass. I will most definitely be adding this in my daily routine.
Clean, traceable and pure ingredients with it being certified vegan, gluten free, and non GMO. Zero grams of sugar with 6 veggies. The 6 main super veggies are spinach, kale, broccoli, carrot, beet and alfalfa juice. These are all amazing vegetables we should have to get all the proper vitamins and nutrients. You are getting 14 different vitamins in every container.

This shampoo feels amazing in my hair! It feels so light and doesn’t make my hair feel waxy or weigh my hair down. The scent is my favorite part, no overwhelming and fake. It smells light and refreshing with natural scents. My hair looks so shiny and soft, I have ordered the conditioner to see how they feel together.
The shampoo is 98% naturally derived and 94% biodegradable. Its vegan friendly with no parabens, silicones or artificial colors. Parabens are used to preserve ingredients in products and can do more harm than good by drying out your hair and are known to be cancer causing. I have colored hair and it won’t strip my dye. This one is actually anti-aging for your hair with alpha hydroxyl acids. These AHA’s protect your hair and help to condition and moisturize. They can also prevent breakage for every type of natural and colored hair. The papaya extract is a natural exfoliator which not only is good for your scalp but to remove buildup of products. High in Vitamin A and anti-aging Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Papaya is a great natural exfoliator.
I will be certainly sharing these with my family! I can’t get over how nice this shampoo feels on my hair. Shiny, soft without being dried out. It’s nice to see an affordable brand like garnier has a 98% natural product.

The taste of this tea is amazing! Intense berry flavor and color that smells amazing. I have tried it hot and cold and both taste perfect. I find the whole berries in the tea bag don’t get through the bag and leave anything in my cup. So I have been able to leave the bag in the entire time without little flakes or pieces coming out. The cold tea with ice cubes is going to be perfect for hot summer days it’s the perfect infusion. I drink this tea all day no matter what time it is.
The tea is naturally caffeine free and only 3 calories a cup. It’s filled with antioxidants and will help you get that little boost if you feel run down. The ingredients consist of Hibiscus, elderberries, currants, blackcurrants, natural flavoring, cranberries, and blueberries. Love that it’s Dairy free, gluten free, and great for vegetarians and vegans. The only downfall is that they make this tea in a factory that uses nuts, so if you have a nut allergy I would certainly not try it. I will certainly be buying this one again, can't wait to try the other flavors and share with my family and friends.

I am totally hooked on these Stevia Flavorall Valiant Vanilla and Pineapple Pleasure now after trying these. Stevia is actually made from the leaves of the stevia rebaudiana plant and it’s been used for over 1,500 in South America to sweeten tea and medicine. Unlike sucralose and aspartame found in regular sugars that are manmade in a lab Stevia is 100% plant based. Stevia is actually 250-300 times sweeter than regular sugar so you only need 4-6 drops in a cup of tea. I used two tablespoons for my entire 9x9 dish. There’s zero calories or carbohydrates, no GMOs, alcohol, or gluten. These little gems can help you lose weight, manage your blood sugar and can reduce heart disease. Love the fact it’s kosher and diabetic friendly for those who are in need of an alternative to enjoy daily. These little bottles are all natural with only three ingredients: Natural pineapple or vanilla, Water, Vitamin c. -

I love my morning coffee and was so excited to try these out! These little bottles of Coffee Boosters I can take anywhere with me for an added boost of energy and vitamins. They are completely tasteless so you don’t even know they are in your drink. I throw them in my car or purse for when I’m out getting drive thru or in my home enjoying a drink.
Both the energy boost and vitamins boost have absolutely no taste. I wanted to be sure so I’ve drank them in coffee, juice and water. I have a problem swallowing big vitamin pills and these little gems have completely changed my world. No upset stomach afterwards at all. The liquid feels and looks just like water, clear and no smell. Today I was having a rough morning and couldn’t wait for a coffee to wake up. I added 2 squirts of the energy and 2 squirts of the vitamins and with in a half hour I was more alert and fully awake. This is a huge game changer for me, no longer feeling groggy and needing coffees everyday instead I can have a glass of water with these little coffee boosters. No mess and easy to mix even without a spoon, so I poured them in my takeout coffee cup in the car with no mess or spills.
So very happy with the natural ingredients. Energy has 25 mg of caffeine for every 2 squirts in your favourite drink. Caffeine naturally occurs in over 60 different plant species and is found in coffee beans. Although this booster doesn’t state what kind of caffeine is being used it is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free! It is the best stimulant that has always helped me wake up and feel energized without a big crash. It helps with alertness, better memory and brain functions. So many of us are addicted to our morning coffee, but now there’s a way to get that energy without all the milk and cream or to get more when you need it. The added B vitamins helps your body to produce energy from the foods you eat. This helps your nerve functions, brain and muscles so it's great for me before a run or workout. Taurine is also added in this little bottle which is great for so many things, such as promoting a healthy metabolism, protecting your eyes, heart, muscles, brain aging, and neurological conditions. So I feel you are getting so much more with the Energy bottle than a plain old coffee.
Vitamins has it all with vitamins A, B, C, D, and E. It’s like a liquid multivitamin you can take anytime! This cocktail of vitamins protects your eyes from night blindness and aging, supports your bones and a healthy immune system, can lower your risk of certain cancers, help with acne, boost your energy levels, digestion, wound healing, repairing body tissue, healthy bones and teeth, and even can prevent heart disease and inflammation. There is even 50% of your daily dosage of Biotin in 2 squirts to help strengthen my hair and nails.
These little bottles are air tight and leak proof. I can throw them in the bottom of my purse and never have to worry. There’s no struggle getting them open. The cap has a little ridge so you can pop it open with your thumb. Both bottles fit perfectly in my hand so pouring them is great, I will never drop them. I like the labelling and colours on the bottles. I can easily distinguish red is energy and blue vitamins. The black font on a white background makes it easy to read the nutrition facts. Although the font is quite small you can still read everything.
No taste, no stomach upset and no jitters. I am really enjoying these and can’t wait to explore the other kinds. These will be awesome for long drives or exhausting work days. So much better than those little energy drinks at the corner store that make you jittery and crash. Some days I could really go for a second or third coffee, now I can have my energy and vitamin boosters instead.

Why is it always so hard to get men to take vitamins?! Well not anymore. These Smarty Pants are a big hit. Great for active busy men on the go without having to swallow a pill. You can take them with or without food and don’t need water. He loved the berry taste and the texture. The second day he was asking where the vitamin candies are. They are better tasting than any other gummy vitamin he’s had before and the ingredients far better with so many added things. These delicious gummies will help men to promote better heart, energy, bone and prostate health.
They taste just like a candy, so good he wanted to eat more. He said they all taste great with blueberry, blackberry and lemon. You can taste right away its all natural flavours and not artificial at all. Other kinds of gummy vitamins we’ve tried he would pick around a certain flavour because they didn’t taste good. They smell sweet when you open the bottle and have no bad medicinal smell to them. The texture is great! No to overly chewy so good for those with false teeth or sensitivities. The bottle is quite large and the child safety top isn’t a struggle. The grooves cut out around the top gives you a good grip to open them up. But you do have to take 6 a day, so it will only last you 30 days until you need to restock. He would rather take 6 a day than eat ones that don’t taste good.
These are so much more than your typical men’s vitamins. With all the regular ingredients you’d expect to find but with even more added in every one. With heart problems in the family I was very pleased to see there’s Omega 3 fish oil. Omega 3 fish oils help to lower cholesterol, reduce the chance heart attacks and strokes, abnormal heart rhythm and slow down plaque build up in your arteries. Another superstar ingredient is the Vitamin D3. It is the most similar to the vitamins we absorb from sunlight and is created by animal products not plants. His doctor recommended this kind and he has been taking them for years by themselves, now he doesn’t have to since its all in one. They even added CoQ10!! What man doesn’t want better help with preventing cancers and migraines, blood sugar regulation, and to reduce the risk of brain, lung and skin diseases.
You won’t find any GMO’s or unnatural ingredients in this bottle. We try to stay away from any plant or animals products that’s genetically modified where possible because we still don’t fully know the terrible effects it’s having on us, and we don’t want to find out. Organic sugar cane is the only sugar we could find in here which is so much better than processed white sugar that’s grown with pesticides. Safe for those with allergies and intolerances. Every man can take these vitamins since there isn’t any nuts, dairy, soy, wheat and eggs. You won’t gain weight taking 6 of these a day since no high fructose corn is used which is linked to cause obesity around the world. The company has a purity award for being a clean label product.
Added Superstar Ingredients in every gummy:
-Omega 3 fish oil
-vitamin D as D3
-Lycopene
-CoQ10
-Folate
-B12
-Iodine
So happy to say he loved them and we can rest assured he is getting the proper vitamins he needs daily. I have to hide the bottle so he doesn’t eat them all he loves them so much. Definitely going to be stocking up, can’t wait to try some for myself.

My friends, family & I have all experienced all types of muscle and joint pain from my either from work or age. We've tried all kinds of traditional and natural remedies to help ease the pain and discomfort. Regular massages, different topical remedies, baths, stretches you name it. Then we tried the Muscle Care roller and was very surprised how well it works. The muscle aches and cramps are relaxed away and joint pain in my knees has seen a huge difference. The inflammation and swelling is pretty much non existent. I noticed I can feel a difference in my muscles within 10 minutes of using it. You can even see the redness in my skin from inflammation disappear after 20mins of applying the muscle care gel.
When applying the Muscle Care roller a little goes a long way for me. I only need to do 2 passes of each area to get enough to relieve the pain. I use it a couple times a day or when I’m feeling sore, typically right when I wake up and as needed for the rest of my day. The smell is a strong scent of menthol you can smell right when you open the bottle. So be careful not to get it near your eyes, but its great to help open your nose.
The bottle is well designed and doesn’t leak. The lid slips on and off effortlessly and stays closed even when thrown in my purse. The roller ball at the top slides smoothly over my skin and hasn’t gotten stuck. When I apply it to my skin you get a cooling feeling right away from the menthol and camphor then after a few seconds it starts to feel warming. Just like a icy hot sensation which really seems to work wonders on my muscles.
Love that the ingrediets are all natural with no chemicals at all. Menthol doesn’t have any actual benefits for the muscles its used to give that cold hot feeling. The camphor on the other hand acts as a relaxant for your muscles and is antispasmodic to help stop my muscle spams, cramps and stiffness. It has really worked wonders and allows me to move around like I used to! Boswellia and Eucalyptus is added in this roller to help relive pain by acting as an anti inflammatory. The most interesting ingredient is the Yerba Mate. It’s a type of herbal tea found in South America that reduces joint pain with anti inflammatory properties. All these ingridients combined have really made a difference for my pain.
This stuff really works! All natural and safe for those with nut allergies or who are pregnant, everyone can use it. I like the menthol feeling and how I’ve actually seen fast results. Definitely going to be ordering a supply of this Muscle Care and giving some for gifts.

Maybelline New York Hyper Easy Liquid Pen No-Skip Eyeliner

Been searching for a liquid eyeliner that will give a thin line and after all my searching here it is! Thin easy liner without any mess and lasts all day. Super affordable and gave me smooth lines without any skipping or gaps. Love how it looks and lasts on my skin.
The Maybelline Hyper Easy eyeliner comes in all different shades, I chose the pitch black 800. I find the blacks really make my eyes pop and don’t blend into my eyeshadows. The eyeliner is smaller than the size of a pen so I can throw it in my purse or makeup bag. There’s no leaking and the cap secures on tightly and won’t fall off. It’s shaped like a hexagon and gives amazing grip, giving me a sturdier hand when applying it. The applicator is a bristle brush just like a mini paintbrush and bends to your skin. I love that I found no gaps just an even line. No need for any corrections, in one wipe I have the perfect line and don’t need to go back over it again and again. Super easy for beginners or those who haven’t mastered the art of makeup.
The pigment is absolutely wonderful. Pitch black and doesn’t mix with my eyeshadow. You can easily find it in your makeup bag because of the shape and shiny reflective pink writing. There’s no smell at all and no irritation to my skin. Even my sensitive skin has no stinging or watery eyes. Safe to wear with contacts and sensitive eyes. Hyper Easy is waterproof but does come off without any effort with eye makeup remover. In the liner they’ve added castor oil which is a vegetable oil not mineral so it won’t clog your pores. It’s used it makeup as an emollient to make the liner slide smoothly and not dry out.
I’m so very happy with this Maybelline eyeliner. The performance is the best I’ve tried yet and without spending an arm and a leg. It’s so easy to apply and I don’t have to worry about it smudging through out the day. This is definitely my new eyeliner favourite.

Rimmel London Kate Sculpting and Highlighting Kit

Love how the Rimmel London highlighting palette looks on my skin. I have a beautiful glow all day with just a tiny bit of makeup. The pigment is great! You can’t feel it at all when it’s on your skin and you only need a tiny bit to see results.
This palette is a powder and comes with three different shades. The first is a shimmer pink, the second a tan with a hint of gold and third is a deeper tan colour. I use all three on my fair skin. I like the light pink for my nose and around the eyebrows. And the two tans I use on the cheek bones. I dip my makeup brush in the powder and it picks up tons of powder right away. It blends very well and I don’t have to spend a lot of time getting it to look natural.
No smell to this palette at all. The compact container is small which is great for fitting in my makeup bag. All three colours are super compact instead of a huge palette and the lid secures tightly closed. As for ingredients they are not the most natural and it contains Talc. Talc is also used in baby power, lotions and deodorants because it makes the products feel silky and soft. It’s mostly added in as a filler to dilute pigments and make the product stretch. Although there is no proof talc can cause cancer it’s said that make up with talc may contain asbestos and should be avoided. You’d be surprised how many products contain this ingredient, it is very hard to stay away from unless you buy organic or mineral makeup that doesn’t wear as nicely in my experience.
I love to use this on natural skin for a radiant glow or on top of foundation to give me some colour. I have been using it almost everyday since purchasing it. Wish the company would use cleaner ingredients though. I would certainly get this one again, just a little on the defense about using talc on my skin long term.
