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

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

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.
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.
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. The benefits of this Advanced Green Tea Extract are that it:
+ Increases Fat Burning
+ Improves Physical Performance
+ Packed with Antioxidants
+ All Natural
+ Helps Lower Cholesterol
Green Tea Extract is plant-based supplement that has been shown to
assist with weight loss and cholesterol reduction, as well as
potentially lessening the risk of heart disease, diabetes and brain
diseases. Adding Vitamin C with the powerful polyphenols of Green Tea
can help increase antioxidant protection against free radicals to
promote a stronger immune system and healthier well-being.
This bottle contains 120 vegetarian capsules. So they have no wheat, egg, milk, peanut, shellfish, or soy. The capsules are also Gluten Free! 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.

*I received a free sample of this product courtesy of Zenwise Labs for my honest and unbiased opinion.
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).
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

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!

*This is a sponsored post. I received these products for my review. The opinions are 100% my own!
Having white teeth is the essence of a beautiful smile. Smiling gives us the confidence to to make new friends, conquer job interviews, and just simply to be happy. I love to smile! My teeth are not the whitest but I am not against trying whitening toothpaste, whitening strips, or whitening mouthwash. There are so many whitening products on the market. I was surprised to learn that now there is a new product that not only helps with teeth whitening, but helps with your overall oral health. I'm sure you are familiar with probiotics for your digestive tract, but
did you know that many of the oral health issues we suffer from
(cavities, gum disease, bad breath and even ear, nose, throat and sinus
infections) are because the probiotics in our oral cavities have been
depleted (due to stress, antibiotics or even modern diet).
Hyperbiotics PRO-Dental
Introducing Hyperbiotics PRO-Dental by Sari Foods! PRO-Dental is a brand new concept in the probiotic world as it focuses on repopulating your oral and nasal cavities (as opposed to your GI tract). If you suffer from recurrent sore throats, allergies, ear or sinus
infections or from dental issues such as cavities, plaque, bad breath,
teeth staining, gum disease, tonsil stones, or sensitive teeth, we
recommend this formula.
This formula has BLIS K12 and BLIS M18 - two groundbreaking oral
probiotic strains that will help repopulate your oral cavities and put
your oral health back on tract. Here are what the product claims to help with:
REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR DENTAL CHECK-UPS. The probiotic S. Salvarius M18
produces an enzyme that helps dissolve and loosen the formation of
plaque and bio-film that eventually leads to cavities, staining, tooth
sensitivities and gum disease (specifically gingivitis) which can turn
into periodontal disease if not treated. Studies show that a special 2%
of the population rarely experience plaque or tooth decay (that leads to
the domino effect of dental problems) with the only differentiating
factor being that they have sufficient S. Salvarius M18 colonies.
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’s the good bacteria’s job to keep
the bad breath causing bacteria in check? In fact, S. salivarius is
often found in healthy mouths and is deficient in halitosis sufferers.
This means that the best long-term solution to eradicating bad breath is
to repopulate your oral cavities with the “good guys” found in
PRO-Dental.
REPOPULATE YOUR ORAL MICROBIOME. You might be familiar with your “gut
microbiome”, but did you know that different probiotic strains populate
your oral cavities? Your mouth is your first line of defense and the
entry point for most infections. When your balance of healthy oral
microflora is compromised by diet, disease, stress or antibiotics, you
can quickly develop oral health related problems. With PRO-Dental, you
can finally keep this often forgotten microbiome in optimal shape!
ALLEVIATE ORAL HEALTH ISSUES. PRO-Dental is uniquely formulated with the
most effective and clinically proven oral probiotic strains ((including
S. salvirus K12, S. salvirus M18, L. reuteri, L. paracasei) to
repopulate your oral cavity, helping to break-up plaque and malodor
causing bacteria, reduce oral health challenges such as cavities,
teeth-staining, tongue-coating, gingivitis, tonsil stones, canker sores
and protect against ear, nose and throat infections.
GUARD AGAINST EAR, NOSE & THROAT INFECTIONS. Upper respiratory and
ear infections are caused by a buildup of bad bacteria that travels
throughout your oral cavities. When your oral microbiome is populated
with strong probiotic colonies, you are equipped with natural defenses
against these nasty invaders. In fact, studies show that children with
S. salivarius K12 have a 50 percent less chance of harboring strep
throat bacteria and may experience fewer ear infections.
Hyperbiotics PRO-Dental
I have tried this product for a month and a half and I have noticed a slight difference in my oral health. As you can see from the photo above, the product is in a white pill form and the pill has a minty taste. It did not leave a aftertaste in my mouth like other pills do which is a plus for me. I brush my teeth first and as per the directions on the bottle, you are to take one or two pills directly after brushing and that is exactly what I did and waited 30 minutes before I ate or drank anything. You do not have to take the pill with any water all you have to do is chew it and like that because if I had to take with water, I probably would forget to take it daily. Since it is a probiotic, it did help with my stomach issues as with any probiotic that I take. I was diagnosed with GERD so I get acid reflux frequently. One thing that I did notice that is starting to diminish is when I brush my teeth, my gums in certain areas start to bleed. I usually experience this a few times a week but now I noticed it happening less which is a plus for me. I have not noticed any whitening of my teeth and that is not to say that it won't happen over time with continuous use it won't happen. My mouth definitely felt fresher as far as my breath and my teeth feeling squeaky clean. I am not one who gets frequent ear infections, but with the change in weather being hot and cold here where I live (NC) it helped in me not getting any colds.
Would this be a product that I would continue to use? The answer is Yes! I feel that over time with continuous use, I would be able to see some of the whitening benefits but felt that one bottle was not enough to judge that benefit. I like that it does help calm my stomach acid even though its main purpose is to help with your oral health. I love the mint taste which make it easy to take and not dread chewing it.

*This is a sponsored post. I received this product courtesy of Sari Foods Company. All opinions are 100% my own!
Having good vibrant skin is very important to me especially on my face. I have flaws like any other woman like oily T-zones and large pores. I know how important it is to keep your skin moisturized no matter what but I never really much cared about the skin around my eyes. I have always had youthful looking skin and I get so many compliments on how I don't really look my age. (I really love those kinds of compliments!) But as we age, it is important to take care of our bodies and the skin that surrounds it especially around our eyes. The skin around our eyes are prone to wrinkles, crows feet, and losing elasticity. It is also very thin and needs extra care when moisturizing. I had the amazing opportunity through *BrandBacker and *InstaNatural to try out their Youth Express Eye Gel.
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

InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Gel
InstaNatural's Youth Express Eye Gel provides absolute care to the eye
area. It is enriched with Plant Stem Cells, Hyaluronic Acid, Matrixyl
3000, Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil to help with dark circles, puffiness and
sagging skin. This blend of powerful ingredients increases elasticity
and enhances the tone of your skin to provide a firm, plump appearance. Key Ingredients: Plant Stem Cells: Helps mitigate premature signs of aging, Matrixyl 3000: Tightens and firms the skin, Hyaluronic Acid: Moisturizes your skin deeply. Other ingredients: Jojoba Oil, Aloe, Vitamin E, Amino Acid Complex Cucumber Hydrosol and more. InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Gel is clear in color, absorbs into the skin quickly, and lightweight. The gel comes in a 1.7 fl oz bottle and the bottle has a squeeze top which I love. I use one pump of the gel and split it for both eyes and that is really all that you need so this bottle will last a while. The gel does not have a smell at all so it did not irritate my eyes or cause any redness.
I have some darkness under my eyes and I have noticed since using this product that the area is slightly a little lighter. I have been using the product for 3 weeks and I am sure that over time, the skin under my eyes will be more lighter and firmer. The way that I use this product is I first cleanse my skin with cleanser. Then I use witch hazel as my toner to get out any dirt that my cleanser may not have gotten with a clean cotton puff. Once my face is dry, I put on the InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Gel and I pat it onto the under eye area very softly because the skin around your eye area is very delicate and I put on my mobile lid as well. I let that dry and place on my moisturizer and I am done! I will continue to use this product so that I will have the best looking eyes on the planet! (wink! wink!)
