The Fast Metabolism Diet

I received The Fast Metabolism Diet from Shespeaks to read and review. I was very excited to read and try out the tips and recommendations from Haylie Pomroy. I would just like to say up front when one is ready to have a change in lifestyle everything is much easier. 
I was not able to do the diet. I guess I am just not ready. 
The information in the book is exceptional. It all makes perfect sense with all the myths we all believe like the "calories in calories out, If I could eat less I'd finally lose weight" or "Desserts make us fat" myth. This is a 28 day regimen that includes diet and exercise. I am definitely going to try it again when I can focus and truly put my heart into this. I appreciate all the critical information on what foods do for you and the right foods at the right time. 
When I am ready I will try again. I need to put my mind into changing or modifying my diet. Changing food habits is the hardest thing to do. We all have to make that decision. It just so happens it did not work at this time because I was not ready to follow the amazing recommendations, but I will do another update when I start again.

20 Mule Team Borax Review and Giveaway

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Have you heard of 20 Mule Team BORAX?

A little background about BORAX- "it is the common name for sodium tetraborate: a naturally occuring substance produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes." so what does that mean? It means that it is a 100% all natural mineral from the earth.
It is used in Brands like Dial® soaps to Purex® laundry detergents, Right Guard® antiperspirants, göt2b® hair styling products, and Loctite® adhesives 

This is my 1st time hearing about it. It is a multi-purpose Household cleanser. I did some research before using it and found out that it is great to use not only for laundry detergent, but also for 
  1. Removing spots from the glasses that your dishwasher leaves - sprinkle on the bottom of your dishwasher to keep the spots away.
  2. Garbage disposal and drains - sprinkle in the drain and let sit then run warm water with disposal on. Wallah
  3. Laundry stains
  4. Carpet cleaning
  5. preserving fresh flowers from wilting
There is still more you can do. So many more things I would like to try out. 



I used it in my laundry as a stain removing booster and in my shower to clean the tile. 
I am a bit ashamed at what my shower looked like, but here is a little piece of my shower floor before and after. 
BEFORE

AFTER
Here is a great Cleaning TIP, just wet the tile and sprinkle it all over and get right in and scrub. Since it is 100% natural and from the earth I was in there with my bare feet and no worries. There is NO SMELL at all either.  On top of everything I barely had to scrub. That was so nice!

Usually I am in there and worried about the chemicals on my feet while I scrub the shower which is why I avoid it so much, but now I don't think I will have to let it get so bad.
I would definitely recommend to pick up a box for yourself. 

I also have 2 Coupons for a FREE box of BORAX for 2 people! So happy I could do this for you! To enter use the Rafflecopter Below. Please be sure to do the required tasks in the Rafflecopter before entering each task.

Pennington Smart Feed Sprayer System Review


When I looked at the nozzle it seemed a little confusing, but it is very easy. just twist on the end of your water hose and go. You know your plants are getting the nutrients since the water that comes out is blue just as it looks in the handle.
I had some plants that were there from the previous seasons and I also had new plants:
Parsley
Cilantro
Bell Peppers
Green Onions

I have been loving the results from my plants. Last year it took much longer to get my veggies to grow





 easy to attach to any water hose


To change out and put new tablets in is easy. Simply untwist the chamber and swing open then drop in your tablets. Very easy to use

The Smart Feed Sprayer System is available at Walmart, Home Depot and Lowe’s

I have been loving the Brazen cosmetics loose eyeshadow. Last month was a darker shade and this very neutral tone is perfect to to all my shadow blending. I have been using both of them since I received this box in the mail. They belnd out so easily and stay on the hole day with my eyeshadow primer. Love love love. 
Full size 0.18 oz $7.49 
Sample no size on container

The Brush Hanger from Minxxette. This is a neat little device. If you like to wash your shadow brushes or any smaller brush frequently and need to hang it up to dry this will do the trick for you. stick it right on your mirror and insert your brush from the bottom up and let dry over night. This is good cause I have one particular brush I use more than any other and it is the only fluffy eyebrush I own. I can wash it and it be ready for the next day. I tend to not wash it that often cause I never had anywhere to hang it and had to lay it on a towel. Since I won't have to worry about water getting in it any longer I will wash it more often. The other neat thing I found on their web site is that you can tuck a wash cloth in and hang it from the brush hanger too :). Brilliant 
sm $4.69



From Model Co. ILLUSION Lip enhancement kit is a perfect nude liner to match my lips and keeps my lippies right where they need to be; on my lips. I like to color my entire lip with this to help my color last longer throughout the day. It has a bonus if the sharpener included in the cap. No more hunting for a sharpener. 
Full size (one size) $20
I have yet to try out these LA FRESH body smoothing wipes, but I am planning to bring them with me in my vacation come very soon. I wanted to wait to use them at that time. 
18 pack $9.99 



On to the May Box!


LA FRESH Antiperspirant wipes. I am waiting to use these to bring with me on vacation too.  When being out all day in the hot sun sometime we need to refresh and this is a great and space saving way to keep a refresher at hand. These are nice and handy. I am hoping the scent will be pleasing.
48 packs $19.90
2 approx $0.82

Jean Pierre Tanning Towelette - I am a little scared to use these wipes on my legs since my last experience was not too good. It left me all streaky and well it was a bit embarrassing to have beautifully streaked legs to show off. They didn't wear off so easily either. I do not want to have this happen to me before traveling and have the mistake of experimenting with tanning wipes when I know I will be wearing shorts every day. Unlike the other wipes I am going to wait to use these when I return.
10 Towelettes $8.99
2 approx $1.80
This is quite amazing! I love this spray just as much as I loved the Conditioner. It leaves my hair less frizzy and obviously smoother if it is less frizzy. I love that I can use a very cool flat iron with this and the smell is amazing too. Want your hair to calm down then spray it with the Coolway. I love everything about this.
6.7fl oz $24.95
sample 3.3 fl oz approx $12

Ferro 15 hour mineral Eyeshadow in Vegas Coral

Tastykake® Kandy Bar Kakes


TastyKake
Kandy Bar Kakes

First I would like to say these Kandy Bar Kakes are HUGE. I think these are made to have and share with someone. That is a lot of Sweets.

The Kandy Bar Kakes are available in 3 flavors, Peanut butter (made with Reese's peanutbutter), Peppermint (made with York peppermint) and S'Mores (made with Hershey's cocoa). 

They also make many other mini dessert from Honey buns, mini pies, donuts to Sugar free products. I just might have to heck out their sugar free line.

The Kandy Bar Kakes are available for about $1.69 for one Bar or  $4.49 for a family pack. I had no idea that these were even available in my area, but when I went to hit search for stores near me guess what? YUP they are in all my grocery stores that I go to. I am super excited for that. AND a little scared. These Kakes are delicious, but do pop a punch in calories, so for sure this is a mush share in my book. I will be sure to do that. This will be a nice treat to have every once in a while. 



My son said it tastes like a Reese's. Funny I showed him the package and he said "oh" LOL
