Oz Naturals NEW Ancient Orient Rice Enzyme Dermafoliant Review

Having great facial skin is very important to me. I am in my 40's and I don't want to look old before I have too. I have combination skin where it is oily in my T-zones and dry around my mouth area and I have large pores on my cheeks. So finding good skincare products is crucial for me in obtaining the healthy glow that I like for my skin. I was so happy to be given the opportunity to try a new product that would help me achieve great looking skin.

                                                                                          
Add caption
According to their website, "OZ Naturals FACE SCRUB EXFOLIANT utilizes bamboo to gently exfoliate skin and unclog pores without irritation, drying or stripping.
FINALLY A FACIAL SCRUB THAT contains lactic acid and alpha lipoic acid to further help the exfoliation process by breaking down and removing dead skin cells, revealing the glow of healthy skin beneath, and assists in reducing fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of premature aging from sun damage.
ANOTHER KEY INGREDIENT, green tea extract, is rich in antioxidants and helps to prevent collagen breakdown as well as tone and protect the skin from the damaging effect of free radicals.
THE PRO-VITAMIN B5 IN OUR scrub is readily absorbed by the skin and penetrates deep down, retaining moisture and relieving dry, irritated skin, and Alpha Lipoic Acid provides anti-inflammatory effects reducing redness and blotchiness, shrinking pore size and imparting a healthy radiance to the skin
SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES, our bamboo exfoliant is all natural and free of harmful ingredients".

This product was different from other facial exfoliators that I have used because it is actually in powder form. I love to use different types of products so this fit just right for me! According to the directions, you just need a nickel size amount of the powder but if you need a little more than do so and you add a little water to make a paste of the powder. Then you gently scrub your skin in a circular motion for several minutes. Then you let the product sit on your skin for five minutes to allow the lactic acid time to penetrate the skin. Then you just rinse the skin thoroughly and pat (not rub) the skin dry.  I noticed that this product helps in controlling the shine on my face and my pores are a little less noticeable when I put on makeup. This product has a clean smell so it is great for someone who is scent sensitive. I love how the bottle looks and the top of the bottle twists to open the little holes on top to dispense the powder and closes the same way. This product is great for anyone who has sensitive skin because this product can be used for all skin types.  It is suggested that you use this product 3 times a week.

Botanyst Restful Sleep Review

Sleep is so essential for our overall health and helps the body restore itself so we can be our optimal selves for the next day. When that sleep is disturbed by the thoughts of the day that keeps our minds working we cannot get the rest that our body needs. Some may take sleeping aids but they can contain harmful stimulants that are not so healthy for our bodies. I am such a night owl so it takes me some time to fall asleep because I am always thinking about something. Whether it is what I am going to do the next day, planning my schedule for study time for school, or making sure the daily household chores are being done, it just takes me some time to fall asleep. Until now! I was given the opportunity to try a new product that would help to calm my thoughts so that I can get a restful sleep.

                                                                                 
Botanyst Restful Sleep
According to the website, "Natural sleep supplement calms your mind, so you can wake up refreshed...but not drowsy.

Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs and essential minerals in Restful Sleep™ help to:

- Calm and quiet a restless mind and body
- Promote a full night's restful sleep
- Nourish chi to bring harmony and balance into the body
- Promote calm throughout the day
- Restore vitality to the spleen and heart organ systems

Can't fall asleep? Wake up several times during the night? Trouble feeling rested even after a full night's sleep? Oftentimes an overactive mind is what keeps us from getting a full-and good-night's sleep. But did you know your spleen is KEY to healthy sleep? That's why Dr. Yan Ping Xu, certified practitioner of Oriental medicine and board certified herbalist, developed safe, non-addictive, Restful Sleep natural sleep supplement to help restore balance to your spleen's-and whole body-chi (energy) so you can have a full night of restorative sleep and wake up refreshed, never drowsy.

Great sleep starts in the spleen...

Restful Sleep natural sleep supplement is based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine belief that sleep issues start with the spleen. That's right-not the brain. Because in traditional Chinese Medicine, it's believed that when you're having trouble sleeping, it's your spleen's chi that is off balance. In fact, in Chinese medicine, the spleen is a VERY important organ that every other organ in your body relies on. Here are just a few ways the spleen is central to your body-metabolism, digestion, even circulation-all of which can have an impact on your sleep.

The bottom line is, when your spleen chi is out of balance, you can experience worry, fatigue, anxiety, and restlessness-all of which can contribute to a poor night's sleep! The good news is you CAN get your spleen's-and your whole body's-chi back in balance, and Restful Sleep can help.

Ancient Chinese herbs restore and rebalance chi for a good night's sleep

The ancient herbal blend that the Chinese have been relying on for thousands of years to remedy sleep problems by rebalancing chi is called Yi-Fang. Restful Sleep's formula uses the same exact Chinese herbs in Yi-Fang that have been used for over 2,000 years! And to make sure the herbs are pure and top quality, Dr. Xu personally selects each herb on her yearly trips to China, then makes sure each herb is processed, purified, and sterilized to remove any toxins-all done right here in the U.S.A.

Essential minerals absorb overnight, for overall health

But, not only has Dr. Xu included ancient herbs to rebalance your spleen chi, she's also included modern-day nutrients to help prepare your body to accept the herbs. This includes calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

These nutrients help the herbs absorb into your body more efficiently so they can get to work even faster. And the best part is-unlike other traditional Chinese herbal remedies where you have to make some kind of herbal concoction or mix with tea (and the smell and taste can be awful)-she's put all these potent herbs and Western nutrients into one daily dose of easy-to-take capsules!

Getting the most out of Restful Sleep

Restful Sleep provides a gentle, restorative sleep. It doesn't knock you out like other sleep remedies. Dr. Xu knows that most people can't sleep because they can't stop thinking, so she created Restful Sleep to work like an "off switch” to a hyperactive mind. If you've have not been sleeping well for years, it may take a short while to achieve great sleep so you use it consistently for best results. Dr. Xu tells her patients to "keep taking Restful Sleep and in a couple of weeks you'll see that you are sleeping longer and better than you have in years."

A full night's sleep, without the drowsiness

Restful Sleep natural sleep supplement provides the exact herbs your body needs to bring the spleen, heart, and entire body into harmony so you can switch off your mind and turn on a great night's sleep-without waking up drowsy!"

In taking this product, I found that it really relaxes my mind and I drift right to sleep faster than I normally do. It does not make me jittery or drowsy when I wake up. I take two capsules right before I go to bed and let them do their magic! I really did not know what to expect when I first took the capsules but it just really calms you to the point that you slowly drift off to sleep. When I awoke the next morning, I felt refreshed and ready to take on the day. I found that I was going to bed earlier on some nights when I got all of my days events done and I just wanted to relax and get a good nights sleep. In finishing the bottle, I found that when I get in bed, I can relax quicker and my thoughts are calmed down so that I just drift into a peaceful sleep.

Adovia Exfoliating Body Scrub with Dead Sea Salt and Natural Oils Review

Anybody that knows me, knows that I love to smell good! I love all scents! I love perfumes, lotions, body washes, body butters, and body scrubs. I love body scrubs for their exfoliating effects and how soft they make my skin feel so when I was offered the opportunity to try a new body scrub product, I hopped on it!

                                                                                     
Adovia Exfoliating Body Scrub with Dead Sea Salt and Natural Oils
About the brand according to their website, "goPURE Naturals was started by Erin Keyan who after becoming a mother was shocked to discover how many products contain toxic and dangerous chemical ingredients. She formulated goPURE Naturals with the goal of developing a brand that women can trust to contain only the purest and natural ingredients, while making them look and feel their best".

About the product according to their website,  THE SEA SALT BODY SCRUB: Made with Real Dead Sea Salt - 100% Pure and Genuine for an infusion of 21 Minerals Essential to Proper Skin Function. Great Exfoliator and Moisturizer.

THE BENEFITS: Fine Grain Dead Sea Salts Exfoliate the Top Layer of Dead Skin Cells to Reveal a New Younger Looking Layer of Radiant Skin. Deeply Moisturizing Oils Infuse Skin With Luxurious Hydration that Lasts All Day

Works Great in The Shower or Bath - Also a Great Hand Exfoliator to use in the Sink or Foot Scrub.

I used this product in the shower and I must say, I love the scent!! It is not an overpowering scent but if you are sensitive to scent, this is not the product for you! I love how it lingers hours after I use it so that is a major plus for me! It does contain oil in the scrub so please be very careful because it does make the bottom of your tub slippery. I use it on my legs and arms and it gives my skin such a glow from the exfoliation. It is not harsh on my skin as I exfoliate my skin and it leaves a light oil sheen on my skin which I love because I always use a oil on my skin right out the shower. I even noticed that when I wake up the next morning, I still can smell the scent on my skin! I try to exfoliate my skin once a week but I exfoliate whenever I am in the need for it.  This is a great product and will be a staple in my shower routine!

Advanced Digestive Enzymes Review

Having good stomach health is essential because it helps in absorbing the nutrients and vitamins from foods to help us live. Sometimes our stomach can become out of wack when we digest the wrong kinds of foods over time and need some help to get our stomach health back on track. I was grateful to be offered the opportunity to try a product that would help get my stomach health back on track. That product is Zenwise Labs Advanced Digestive Enzymes!

I was diagnosed with GERD back in 2001 after having and endoscopy done because I was having symptoms that felt like I was having a heart attack. The test revealed that a part of my stomach was pressing up against my esophagus causing the acid in my stomach to "reflux" up my esophagus causing great pain and burning. Now to help ease the symptoms, you have to eat right and eliminate certain acidic foods but I don't always follow that plan! That is where Zenwise Labs Advanced Digestive Enzymes helps me out!

                                                                             
Zenwise Labs Advanced Digestive Enzymes

According to their website, Zenwise Labs Advanced Digestive Enzymes contains our specialized blend of plant-sourced enzymes that relieve indigestion, gas, bloating and constipation.

In taking this product, It has helped my stomach tremendously! I started noticing that the bloating in my stomach was no more! That is huge for me! It also helped with the digestion of my food if I ate or drank something acidic because I love orange juice with my breakfast and really did not want to give that up. I take one capsule before I eat and I have no problems digesting my food.  This product is made with all natural ingredients and made in the USA.

Organic Dandelion Root Tea - With Hibiscus & Cinnamon by Kiss Me OrganicsReview

Since I have been on my health journey, I am always looking for products that will help me to detox my system to help aid in its cleansing and I love to do this through drinking teas. Detox teas are just easier for me to take because they are something that I love to sip on morning, noon, and night. So I was happy to try the Dandelion Root Tea with Hibiscus and Cinnamon by Kiss Me Organics.

 
Kiss Me Organics Dandelion Root Tea with Hibiscus & Cinnamon




Here is a little bit about Kiss Me Organics:  "It is important to us and our customers to fill our plates and our cupboards with as many organically produced products as we can. In a significant way, this is the only way to guarantee we are receiving the minerals and nutrients that nature intended. At KissMeOrganics.com we want to help our customers discovery the purity and the power of natural ingredients"

Organic Dandelion Root Tea - With Hibiscus & Cinnamon - USDA Organic - Supports Healthy Digestion - Aids in Liver & Kidney Detoxification - 2 HEAPING GRAMS PER TEA BAG! Here are the benefits that this tea provides:

1. SUPPORTS HEALTHY DIGESTION, KIDNEY HEALTH & LIVER FUNCTION Detox the liver and kidneys from toxins that can build up over time. Healthy digestion helps the body to absorb more nutrients and improve physical and cognitive functions.

2. RAW & ORGANIC Raw Dandelion Root is extremely nutrient rich and provides more vital minerals and vitamins to your body when compared to roasted Dandelion Root.

3. VITAMIN RICH Raw Dandelion root is rich in Vitamins A, C, D and B-complex plus Iron, Potassium and Zinc. A diet rich in these nutrients can help treat mood disorders, liver disorders and boost a weakened immune system.

4. HIBISCUS & CINNAMON While enhancing the earthy flavor, and adding a hint of flowery sweetness to every cup; Hibiscus has been shown to help regulate blood pressure and Cinnamon has been shown to regulate blood sugar and reduce bad cholesterol.

I loved brewing and drinking this tea! It has a cinnamon smell and it tasted kind of bland to me without something sweet in it so I always added one packet of 100% Organic Stevia and it was perfect. It has a light burgundy wine color once it has brewed in my cup. You can brew it as long as you want in your cup but just know the longer you keep the tea bag in your cup, the stronger the tea will be. I didn't mind it at all because I wanted to make sure that my system gets cleansed and this tea does just that! Always make sure that you are drinking your daily allowance of water. This tea is great to drink first thing in the morning but like I said earlier, I love to drink tea all day. I definitely felt more energized and cleansed! As with any lifestyle change, your diet plays a big part in you becoming healthy.

Radha 100% Argan Oil and 100% Fractionated Coconut Oil Review

Since I have been transitioning to natural my hair gets super dry! I rely on products that will keep my hair moisturized and shiny. I love to try different products in my hair to see how my hair will respond so when I got the opportunity to try two (2) products from Radha Beauty, I was ecstatic! Certified Organic 100% Pure Argan Oil and 100% Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil were my products of choice.

Radha Argan Oil 100% Pure and Certified Organic





                                                                         
Radha Beauty 100% Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil


Discover 100% Pure Radha Argan Oil that naturally freshens, hydrates and softens dry skin, it also repairs and beautifies hair, from roots to split-ends and improves scalp health. Radha Argan Oil is infused with nutrients and antioxidants that make the skin soft and fights against the loss of elasticity and firmness. It strengthens brittle, cracked, nails and softens cuticles. The amazing gold of Morocco can be used as a topical ointment for medicinal and therapeutic purposes to soothe the irritated skin of infants, for various skin ailments, and to protect against skin infections. It was also used in traditional cuisine. It is first cold pressed to ensure the best quality, highest-grade oil. Unscented, Lightweight & pure for the ultimate healthy glow.

This is a very lightweight oil just like it states! I love oils that have multiple uses and I used this oil in my hair and on my body right after my bath or shower. It does not leave me with a greasy feel and it is not a thick type of oil. I like to use in my as a pre-poo before I use any shampoo because shampoos can be really stripping to my hair and I don't like my hair too stripped unless I am clarifying it which is once a month. I also mixed this oil with Radha's 100% Fractionated Coconut Oil which I also liked. Once or twice a month I like to do what is called an "Oil rinse" where in-between washes I just wet my hair and use the argan oil or the fractionated coconut oil as a shampoo. This makes my hair so shiny! 

                                                    

Another thing that I love to do is mix oils with my 100% pure certified organic Shea butter. (This product did was not purchased through Radha Beauty.) During the winter months to combat dryness, I like to mix 1 cup of Shea butter, 1/4 cup Radha Argan Oil and 1/4 cup of Radha 100% Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil. You can either put in a blender or use a hand blender and blend until smooth. This helps with my dry skin in the winter and added moisture to my hair.

Radha Argan Oil and Radha 100% Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil are both some great oils! My hair especially loves both of them! I use them separately and mixed together.  Neither of the oils have an overpowering smell which is great for individuals who are sensitive to scents. Both are very lightweight so they won't weigh your hair down so these will be two oils that I will continue to use during my hair journey.

Advanced Green Tea Extract with Vitamin C Capsule Review

I love sipping on green tea! It just warms me up and also helps me with my weight loss journey by providing me with my water intake since I don't like to drink water. Green tea allows me to switch up my liquid intake. Sometimes I don't get to drink my green tea like I want to because of a busy schedule of running errands or work I have to do for my college courses so when I had the opportunity to try my favorite tea in a capsule form, I jumped at the chance!

                                                                    

Advanced Green Tea Extract with Vitamin C by Zenwise Labs has created a dietary supplement in capsule form that contains 725 MG of Green Tea Extract! A specialized caffeine-free blend of Green Tea Extract and Vitamin C that fortifies the immune system and provides a variety of invaluable health benefits.

                                                         + Packed with Antioxidants
                                                         + All Natural

The dosage on the bottle states that you are to take one (1) capsule up to two times a day and not to exceed that limit. I took the product once a day in the morning and that was really all I needed! I was energized throughout my day! I didn't get sluggish like I usually do in the afternoon which is a huge plus for me! I didn't take the capsule twice a day because if I would have taken a capsule at night, I would have been up all night! I am glad that this is an all natural product that does not contain any stimulants because I worry about its effect on my system. I didn't taste any awful aftertaste after taking the capsule like with most but I did taste the green tea. This is a great staple in my healthy journey.

Superfood Bundle! 3-Pack of Spirulina, Acerola & Nutritional Yeast Review

I am all for getting fit and healthy! I love learning about healthy ways to get more nutrition into my system. With drinking green smoothies for breakfast and lean meats for lunch and dinner, I am always looking for ways to make them more tasty. That is where the Superfood Bundle comes in! I was given the opportunity to try out Spirulina, Acerola, and Nutritional yeast from the Sari Foods Company. And most of all, they are all organic!

Sari Foods is a company that believes the foods we eat have the ability to nourish us fully and completely. And, that natural nutrition - as opposed to synthetic, laboratory-made vitamins - provides us with the fuel for life without any of the drawbacks. They created Sari Foods with the hope of delivering ancient foods to modern life. In Indonesian, the word "sari" means essence. At Sari Foods Company, our mission is to bring you the "Essence of Food”, empowering conscious consumers to return to nutrient dense, single ingredient, pure foods as our source of life and sustenance - just as nature intended.


6oz Organic Vitamin C Powder from Acerola Cherries and 16oz Organic Spirulina

 I love smoothies, especially green smoothies where I can have some of my greens put into a blender and drink them. Along with adding greens, I love to add some fruit and some protein. So I add one tablespoon of the Superfood Spirulina and one tablespoon of the Vitamin C powder (both are organic) to give my smoothies a super boost! Spirulina is the most nutrient dense food known to humankind, contains more protein content than any other food source and is the most planet-friendly source of protein! This bag of planet-friendly organic spirulina is comprised of more than 60% protein and is a natural source of bioavailable iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium, beta-carotine, B12, chlorophyll, phytonutrients, antioxidants and essential amino acids (GLA, Omega 3, 6 & 9’s). Spirulina has over 100 types of vitamins & nutrients - more than any other type of grain, plant, or herb - and they work together to perform miracles in the human body. Many Vitamin C supplements (like ascorbic acid and calcium ascorbate) contain isolated and/or synthetic vitamin C that is highly toxic and may cause you more harm than good. Sari Foods 100% food based vitamin C is nature’s complete complex, providing you with all of the benefits of this miracle vitamin without compromising your body or health. Natural Vitamin C is the missing piece of the puzzle to your body’s immune system, offering protection against colds and many viruses. Vitamin C also fights free radicals, promotes cell regeneration and is a natural antihistamine which means it may even help keep allergies, asthma and inflammation in check!

                                                                               
8oz Non-Fortified Nutritional Yeast Flakes
This delicious salty, creamy, nutty, cheese-tasting superfood can be sprinkled on just about everything! No restraint necessary. I sprinkle on my oatmeal, yogurt, salad, and grits. It tastes like cheese! I have never had of a product like this and I enjoyed trying this product because it was different and I love different! Here is a little about it. Most nutritional yeast products are fortified with excessive amounts of synthetic vitamins to increase the nutritional count. At Sari Foods Company, we believe that synthetic, man-made vitamins are not only unnecessary, but that they can be harmful and toxic to our bodies, causing nutrient imbalances and forcing our kidneys and liver to work overtime while our bodies struggle to absorb them. We can promise you this: the abundance of vitamins & nutrients plus the delicious cheese flavor found in this bag of molasses-grown nutritional yeast are 100% whole food based and naturally occurring - nothing synthetic here - just as nature intended! Our nutritional yeast is naturally comprised of 50% protein (a complete, bioavailable and vegan source), over 20% fiber, contains all 18 amino acids and 15 different minerals (including iron, selenium and zinc) as well as a natural vitamin B-complex and Beta-glucans (known for their extreme immune enhancing properties).

Overall, I enjoyed each of the products and they will definitely be a staple in my kitchen. They will also help me in my healthy journey. They taste delicious and doesn't make my food or smoothies taste bland. If you want to know more about this awesome Superfood bundle, please check them out at http://sarifoods.co/

InstaNatural Lemon and Peppermint Essential Oils Review

I love fragrance! My home has all kinds of candles, plug-in fragrance devices, and sprays. I have always been a person who loves scents. Scents to me is so inviting for a home. I never got into essential oils but always wanted to learn about them and reap the many benefits that they offer for homeopathic healing. I love the scent of lavender which is very calming. Essential oils have some amazing benefits from adding shine to your hair, helping you with dry skin, and health benefits. I was super excited when InstaNatural wanted me try out two of their essential oils for my review. I have reviewed several of their products and so far, they have not disappointed me.

InstaNatural is a leading online and global distributor of more than a dozen nature inspired beauty and cosmetics products. Our products are one of the top sellers on Amazon and can also be found in leading spas, salons and aesthetic centers in the US, as well as internationally in UAE, UK and Canada (coming soon). We are constantly in search of wonderful natural and organic ingredients from the around the globe, so we can bring you the absolute best products, no matter the cost. In addition, we strongly believe in treating our customers the way we would want to be treated. This is why our lifetime satisfaction guarantee and our customer service is unlike any other company in the industry.

InstaNatural Peppermint and Lemon Essential Oil


The two essential oils that I had the pleasure of reviewing are InstaNatural's Peppermint and Lemon Essential Oils. Each bottle holds 4 fl oz and a dropper was included for each bottle.  When I received the box, I could literally smell the peppermint essential oil through the packaging! Now that is strong! That is not a bad thing for me! The bottles are glass so be careful when opening. I was really surprised at the size of the bottles because I thought that I was going to get a little sample size to review but the bottles were a nice size! The essential oil in each bottle is really potent because I could smell them and the caps were on the bottles so I took the caps off of each bottle and placed the dropper caps into each one.

InstaNatural Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon Essential Oil is extracted from the rinds of lemon, which lends its fresh citrus fragrance. This cold-pressed oil has a strong bright scent that is both refreshing and uplifting. Its astringent and purifying properties also make it a great aid to help cleanse and tone the skin, while delivering a boost of Vitamin C antioxidant benefits. I added one or two drops to my cotton ball with some witch hazel to tone my skin after I have cleansed my face. I love it! It is refreshing and gives my face such a glow before I put on my moisturizer and eye gel which are also by InstaNatural. Also, if I used this essential oil with a little water in a spray bottle and lightly mist my carpet in my bedroom or around my home after I vacuum for a refreshing scent.

InstaNatural Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint Essential Oil is a multi-purpose oil that cools, energizes and refreshes the body and mind. This steam-distilled oil is extracted from dried or fresh leaves from the Mentha Piperita herb, giving it a sharp, menthol fragrance. Its pleasantly sweet and minty aroma makes it a premium choice for aromatherapy to improve the mind and lift the spirits. I used about 20 drops of this essential oil into my coconut oil that I use for my hair and I love to massage my scalp with it. The coconut oil is a carrier oil that works great with an essential oil. My hair loves coconut oil so I know that peppermint oil can stimulate the blood flow to the scalp when massaged in. This is the best combination for my hair since I have been transitioning to natural for 14 months. I love how it makes my scalp tingle!  I also love to just smell this oil if I feel a little down and want a pick me up of energy and it does the trick in perking me up!

These essential oils are 100% natural and steam distilled. Please make sure that you store these bottles in a cool, dark place and dilute it appropriately as it is very potent so do not use it straight out of the bottle! Essential oils work great with a carrier oil like coconut or extra virgin olive oil so please do your research thoroughly! Also, research to find other beneficial uses for these essential oils. I have now found some great essential oils and I will be going on InstaNatural's website to purchase some other essential oils!
