NERIUM REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

I Originally wanted to try Nerium because I heard it worked well on acne, I've had a terrible time with adult acne the last year or so. I was given a sample of the Nerium Age Defying Treatment Day and night creams. I used the treatments as directed for well over a month. It has a unique smell to it and is not a heavy type cream. I especially liked the day cream.

 I couldn't really tell if the treatment was helping with my acne or if it was just the simple fact that so much time had gone by and the zits were just taking care of themselves, as they normally do. These are my before and afters. 

 I did however notice a difference in my skin tone and my fine lines, which I didn't seek Nerium for. The fine lines were starting to diminish, and were hardly even noticeable to me like they were before. My skin tone was evening out and my face looked brighter. I could definitely see a difference in my skin. 

 During their research on the uses of the Nerium oleander plant, a discovery was made: the unique properties of Nerium oleander provided remarkable age-defying results when applied to the skin. This lead to the begininng of Nerium International and the creation of the NeriumAD skincare line. (source Nerium International)
 Nerium is the first company to use the exclusive properties of the oleander plant in their skin care products. 

Nerium offers two ways to purchase their products, one being a preferred customer and the other is by being a retail customer. They offer a 3 UR FREE program, when you refer 3 preferred customers you can get your product free. 
Nerium also offers a 30 day money back guarantee.

Miche Handbag Review and Giveaway

I recently was given the chance to review Miche handbags, thanks to Jennifer Wallace, an Independent Consultant for Miche Bags. Jennifer sent me 3 different Shells with a Demi Base Bag. 

I am a huge purse lover, like most women. I own about 20 different handbags, different styles and colors and brands. I am not too picky when it comes to name brands, I do prefer them due to their quality, but sometimes even the high end bags will get their fair share of wear and tear. Although I own all these bags and my intentions are to switch them out to coordinate with my attire, I often find myself using the same purse because I am just in a hurry and don't want to move all my items from one purse to the other. 

I had never heard of Miche handbags before, so when I received the purses I had no idea what to do with them. The Brilliant idea of these bags is to be able to change purses in a matter of seconds, literally. 

You start with a base bag, which is the inside of the purse.  Miche offers 4 different sizes, from Petite to Prima.

You then choose a shell, which is basically the purse itself. There are over 100 different Shells to choose from, different colors and designs.

These 3 were the ones that Jennifer sent me. It is very simple to attach the shell to the base. It is Magnetic!!! The prices range from $21.95 to $39.95 for the base and the shells from $14.95 to $44.95. Not to bad for a purse, once you have the base you want, you only need to purchase whatever shells you want to fit your style. I actually purchased an additional Shell the day after I received my items from Jennifer. That is how much I loved this idea. You can add different handles to your purse and accessories to brighten it up.
Miche is a growing company that is devoted to giving back through their HOPE Program, a portion of proceeds go to support cancer research and other initiatives they are passionate about. To date they have helped to generate over 2 Million dollars to the HOPE program.
If you would like more information on how you can purchase your own Miche Handbag and have the ability to change your purse out in a matter of seconds, please go to Jennifer's website. www.JenniferWallace.Miche.com

Is Aspartame bad for you?

What is Aspartame? Aspartame is an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages. In the European Union, it is codified as E951. Aspartame is a methyl ester of the aspartic acid/phenylalanine dipeptide. It was first sold under the brand nameNutraSweet; since 2009 it also has been sold under the brand name AminoSweet. It was first synthesized in 1965 and the patent expired in 1992. -Source: Wikepedia


Is Aspartame Bad for you? After hearing all the bad things about Aspartame lately, I decided to do a little research of my own.

What exactly is Aspartame? Aspartame is also known as Equal, Nutra-Sweet, Spoonful, and Equal Measure. Aspartame is made up of three chemicals: Aspartic acid, Phenylalanine, and menthanol. I won't get into the scientific ways that these chemicals will cause damage, you can research that on your own. But I will tell you the chronic illnesses that These chemicals are associated with. Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's Disease, ALS, Hypoglycemia, Memory Loss, Hormonal problems, Dementia, Epilepsy, Brain Lesions, and Alzheimer's Disease.

The risk to infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and persons with certain chronic health problems from excitotoxins are great. Even the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), which usually understates problems and mimics the FDA party-line, recently stated in a review that:

"It is prudent to avoid the use of dietary supplements of L-glutamic acid by pregnant women, infants, and children. The existence of evidence of potential endocrine responses, i.e., elevated cortisol and prolactin, and differential responses between males and females, would also suggest a neuroendocrine link and that supplemental L-glutamic acid should be avoided by women of childbearing age and individuals with affective disorders."

Aspartic acid from aspartame has the same deleterious effects on the body as glutamic acid.

There is aspartame in so many of our foods and drinks. Please be sure to read labels if you are concerned with what you are putting in your body. I recently checked my Yoplait Yogurt and found there is Aspartame in there. Needless to say I will not be eating or feeding that to my kids.

Benefits of Detoxing your body

We Clean our houses, change the oil in our cars, change the filters in our homes and cars. How often do you clean the inside of your body? It is just as important to detox your body and get all the "buildup" of chemicals from pollutants outside, cigarette smoke, pesticides, chemicals in everyday products you use, such as soap, shampoo, cleaning aids.

The accumulation of these substances will take it's toll on your body, and can lead to other problems. Symptoms that may indicate your body needs a detox include lethargy, headaches, poor concentration, fatigue, infertility, constipation, skin rashes, eczema, allergies, depression, weight gain, muscle aches, and PMS, along with others.

Detoxification is the process of purifying the body of compounds that have a detrimental effect on cell functions or structures. When you start the process of detoxification, the body begins to discharge excesses that have been carried for years. According to ancient healing traditions, spring is recognized as the prime season for cleansing the body because the rhythms of the body coincide with the rhythms of the earth. Another reason spring is such an ideal time for cleansing is because detoxification procedures generally have a cooling effect on the body. This change in body temperature can be balanced by the emerging warmer climate, but would otherwise cause discomfort during the winter.

It is possible to detoxify in three days, or up to a week under controlled conditions, although there are a few gentle daily practices that can be incorporated by all to assist the body in a long-term spring cleaning. These helpful tips will keep your systems clear and in good working order. Once they’re all in good shape, you will feel energetic and your body will be resilient enough to overcome a multitude of other illnesses.

~Drink Plenty of water 8-12 glasses a day, water will help to flush out the toxins in your body.
~Have plenty of Fiber, it is now recommended to have 40 gms of fiber in your diet to help prevent cancer.
~Do some stretching, this will stimulate your lymph glands, which will help flush waste from your body.
~Rest. Do your cleanse when you will be relaxing and not having to do any strenuous activity.
~Avoid personal care items with chemicals, go all natural.
~Eat at least 1 raw meal per day.

There are lots of ways to detox, make sure you find the one that is best for you. When you incorporate fresh food, whole grain, pro biotic yogurts, protein, lots of water, and natural products into your daily routine, the less your body will fill up with toxins. Keep your insides clean.
