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. 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

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/
