Waltz Dance {Product Review}

Hi girlies! In the past we've talked about losing weight and exercise and fun stuff like that. One way to lose weight is dancing. I'm not talking about provocative grinding or slow dancing or anything like that. For example, SalsaCrazy sent me a Beginner's Waltz Dance to review. It's actual in two parts. Tonight I'm reviewing part one!

 I think Waltz is a lovely thing to see. It's graceful and usually not inappropriate at all. In theater productions I've had the pleasure of either waltzing or doing something similar a couple of times. Of the dances I've done in theater, the waltz may be my favorite just for its simple beauty. Well, seemingly simple.

 This DVD isn't a big money deal. The makers obviously had a budget. The picture didn't seem to be as clear as possible, and there were some slight speaking mistakes, not that that matters much anyway.

 The waltz was shown from more than one angle, and the men and women's steps were shown separately before being put back together.There are detailed tips about feet and other parts of the Waltz and the performers do well.

 My brother and I attempted this, and we did okay, but I think we're going to need to keep using the DVD to get better at it. The instructions were pretty simple, though we still tripped over our feet now and again.

 I think this is a pretty good DVD. It's not the best quality in technical terms, but if you want to learn to Waltz I'm not sure how many stellar quality DVDs are out there anyway. This one suits my purposes just fine. It's not terribly expensive and can be found here. So if you want to try out a little something different, something a bit classy, this is a pretty nice idea. The company itself offers lots of different dance DVDs.

Garcinia Cambogia Extract 85 % HCA Complex: Let's take two {Product Review)

 All right. Remember how I said I was going to compare these Garcinia Extracts that I talked about a few days ago? Well another one is up! This one was also tested by my dear mother. Today I'm writing a review on Garcinia Cambogia Extract 85% HCA Complex from Summit Nutritions.

 There was a big of miscommunication on the testing of this one, so it only wound up being tested for five days or so, so I may be a bit more lenient.

Although these extracts are mainly used for weight loss they have other benefits as well. The supplement is a natural source of calcium as it comes from a plant.

 The company says that the best way to achieve your weight loss goals are proper dieting and exercise along with taking this supplement. My mom says that she did not lose any weight while taking this but she could tell, once again, that her appetite was being suppressed. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, but I think in general we sometimes tend to overeat so that might not be such a bad thing. She got full faster. She also felt more energized than normal.

 My mother will continue to take this supplement. Although she hasn't experienced the weight loss benefits yet, she hopes to, and I find this to be a pretty satisfying product with packaging and whatnot. I'm sorry I can't get a full scale review on this one because of the miscommunication, but it seems that you can always learn something by trying new things. So if you would like to try this supplement, you can find it on Amazon. And here is Summit Nutritions website.

 I hope you guys are having a wonderful New Year!

DogPlus for Classy Pets {Product Review}

Hi girls! Today's review is a little different. Many of us probably have those little furry friends in our lives who need special care. Well, I was sent a hip and joint supplement by PeachyDog to review.

 
This bottle contains circular pills a little smaller than a quarter. On the back there are amounts that you would give for the size of your pet--cat or dog. My dog fit into the two pills category.

 The pills are made with all natural, human grade ingredients. My dog is a member of the family and I don't want to give him anything that would harm him so knowing it contains natural ingredients was nice.

 It contains normal hip and joint supplements and additionally contains vitamin c, Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, vitamin E, and a dark cherry and berry blend containing anti-oxidants.

This helps reduce pain/inflammation pets might experience, and also helps build the joints back up and even improves overall health.

I think this was a really good product. I've given it to B.J. (my cocker spaniel) some and he's been really perky. He's an older dog so that might be a mix... he also is outside now, which he seems to enjoy. But I truly believe this is helping him and his joints. He doesn't really care for the taste though, so I've had to put some peanut butter on them.

I think pet health is just as important as people health if you can do something about it. So if you need something for your old pup, these things have rave reviews. Buy it here.

LF Garcinia Cambogia Supreme 80% HCA {Product Review}

Hi again. Here is my official New Years post! *blows trumpet* Happy New Year! With the new year lots of people will be trying to lose weight, be happier, and loads of other things. These are admirable things to try to achieve, but you have to make these decisions every day and not just at the beginning of the year.

 The weight loss craze is... well... crazy. For about a year or so I've heard about this Garcinia Cambogia stuff and I think I even tried a couple of kinds. I never think trying to lose weight with supplements alone is a good idea, especially if it's something that is harmful to your body, but I figured these were plant based and were supposed to be supplemental and not restrict what you eat or anything. So I decided to try a couple of companies that offered to let me review. Because more than one accepted me, I gave this one to my mother to try. This stuff is supposed to start working pretty quickly, and my mom has taken it for about two weeks or so now.

 According to the brand, Life and Food, this contains no stimulants or additives and is the pure plant. It's just a vegetable capsule mixing Garcinia Cambogia fruit rind with calcium and potassium for added absorption. I think it's supposed to help with your mood too.

 As far as she could tell, the biggest difference was Mom felt her appetite being suppressed. She got full quicker. I don't know if that's any sort of sign or what. But she didn't feel any "thinner' and her weight stayed about the same. Maybe it isn't a fast working thing, maybe you have to take it longer than two weeks, but the stuff didn't really do what was hoped for. But since we weren't expecting /too/ much with this experiment, we aren't so disappointed. What can replace being healthy anyway? But just for fun, I shall be experimenting with a couple of other brands to see if we can actually find one that works for us. I've also heard that you have to pair it with something, but I'm not sure what that something is. Perhaps I will learn for my next review. If you would like to try this stuff out for yourself, here is a link. It might work better for you than us. It worked for LOTS of people, but for some reason... not so much here. But we will try again. 


**EDIT** If you would like to try this product yourself, the company has offered to send one as part of a giveaway. This will be a short giveaway that ends tomorrow evening, so enter fast!

Lemon zester/grater {Product Review}

 Hi girls! Me again with another review. Yep. This one, and then right aboutMidnight tomorrow's post will be up. Hehe.
This evening I'm reviewing a really neat lemon zester/grater from Chef Proven.
 

My mom loves this thing.

 At some point all classy ladies are going to need some good cooking utensils... You might even use them now. So here's a nice combined product you can use for both zesting and grating.
Here tis.

 It is a long metallic zester/grater that has been voted the #1 useful kitchen tool for grating and zesting. According to them, it is the most popular kitchen tool on the market. It works great for both zesting lemons and oranges and whatnot and is also a wonderful grater.

 My mother is the main cook in our family so she did a lot of the testing for me (I took the pictures.) She initially used it for grating and loved that half of it. She grated carrots and remarked on the fineness of the grate and how good that would be for my grandmother. She also loves how easily it grates.

Here's part of a zested lemon.
 
 The blade is stainless steel (and sharp), has a nice cover sleeve when not in use, and has a lifetime money back guarantee. It is also crafted well. Great. My mom also told me to say that it cleans really easy and that is a plus in her book. My mother is probably one of the best cooks I know so I definitely trust her judgement on this thing. If she likes it, I know it's a success.
Zesting
 It works for whatever you want to zest/grate including lemons, carrots, etc. and it costs less than $13 on Amazon, which I think is pretty cool. You can check it out and read more reviews here.

So if you or your mother or anyone you know needs a nice gift or
whatnot in this department, I recommend this one. :)

Softy {Product Review}

 Hey gals! Tonight I'm reviewing another product from Tomoson.com. Softy sanitizing wipes. I know a lot of you might have younger siblings or you just need some practical wipes. So this review might be the one for you. I know wipes might sound like a weird thing to review, but trust me... they come in handy.
 
So here's how big the container is. Also I'm tired.
So... Softy sent me a giant cylinder of wipes. I was surprised and pleased at the enormity. Especially when compared to those tiny little wipe containers they sell in the store. They contained a whopping 150 count of wipes. Which is pretty cool. But would they be super liquidy or too dry or too thin? The wipes turned out to be nice and thick for wipes with a perfect amount of dampness and they worked pretty wonderfully. They also smelled good. I like the way the packaging is done. When we traveled out of state for Christmas, I stuck the wipes in between the seats, anticipating their need.

 I'm pretty sure we actually used them at some point in the car but for some reason my memory is currently failing me. But when there was an accident involving my one-year-old nephew and him taking off his diaper, well... let's just say those wipes came in real handy. My mom even got some great uses out of them. She used them for wiping hands, wiping kids, wiping counters... you name it. They have been quite useful. And since there is such a large amount, we're still experiencing their usefulness.

 These wipes are unique in the fact that they are safe to use anywhere, even on little kids and are alcohol free. They're also infused with aloe and vitamin c. They have a germ-killing rate of 99.9 % and are quality with their soft application. I really like these wipes and think you will too. If you need a bunch of wipes these retail for about $15 on Amazon. Since they're so nice I think it's worth it. Also, there's a money back guaranty if the wipes don't stay moist. So that's cool.

 Thank you Softy wipes and Tomoson for letting me give my honest opinion with this review.

Review: Amari Vitamin C Serum with Organic and Natural Ingredients

Hey everyone! It's Christmas break for this college student. WHOO! Anyway, I'm reviewing Amari Vitamin C Serum with Organic and Natural Ingredients! I don't have pictures  ready to upload but they are coming!

 Vitamin C has an endless list of benefits. Here are some of them...

 Colds – Doesn't cure the cold but can reduce symptoms and help.

Stroke – Vitamin C reduces risk of having a stroke.

Heart Disease – Vitamin C may lower the risk of heart disease.

Osteoarthritis – Vitamin C helps combat this.

Asthma – Vitamin C helps.

Cataracts – Apparently increased blood levels of vitamin C are associated with decreased risk of cataracts.

Gout – Helps with this.

Skin Aging – Vitamin C helps keep your skin from aging, wrinkles, acne, etc.

Stress – Vitamin C is helpful for those whose immune systems are weakened due to stress.

 As you can see, Vitamin C is really really good for you. While I feel like I can't give you a total comprehensive review of this product because I think it's benefits are more obvious over time, here is the product description.

Description: Combination of the most powerful herbal and organic ingredients along with 20% Vitamin C provide up to eight-fold antioxidant protection, 96% percent reduction of sunburn cells, and prevents new formation of free radicals in skin exposed to sun. Vitamin C Suspended in a concentrated base of pure vegan hyaluronic acid to plump skin cells and protect and restore. This serum is a concentrated delivery system for the highest form of active, bio-available Vitamin C for beautiful skin.

- Hydrated and Moisturized skin
- Lighter and brighter complexion
- Reduced photo damage and scarring
- Boost healing properties of skin
- Improved collagen synthesis
- Reduced Inflammation

  This stuff is a really nice oil, and it smells pretty nice too. I haven't noticed any obvious effects of it yet, but I'm sure it is helping because it's a nice vitamin c combination. My mom, however, has been using it, and she put it on a spot on her skin that was darkening.  She said it started to lighten it up right away and has been really helping her skin. So though I haven't seen the obvious effects personally, I'm sure they are coming. Also, the ingredients are all organic and natural so that's a nice plus! If you would like to try out this nice product, you can purchase it here.
