Details:  Pure Yacon Syrup by True Synergy is 100% pure, there are no other ingredients.  Yacon syrup assists in weight loss and slimming waist size, helps regulate blood sugar, and helps with increased fiber intake.  It is naturally sweet and tastes very similar to molasses.  Yacon syrup helps speed up metabolism and regulates the hunger hormone making you feel full longer.

#Yacon
Review:  I like the taste of molasses, so figured this would be a great tasting product.  I began by substituting Yacon Syrup for honey I was adding to my warm lemon water, cayenne pepper and honey each morning.  Well, I'll tell you this much, I like molasses a whole lot better, and I prefer the honey in my lemon water.  BUT...given the facts that this product will help me feel full longer, will speed up my metabolism, and help me lose weight, I figured I could give this a try.  I've also tried it in green smoothies, and I like that option a whole lot better.

So, I started this on Monday.  Today is Friday.  I've lost 2 pounds in just that short period of time-5 days. I've eaten the same as I have been, but I'll also mention that I have also started rebounding again for 10 minutes each day.  It is recommended to take 1 teaspoon 3 times a day.  I've only been taking 1 teaspoon a day.

I believe that the Yacon Syrup is what helped get these 2 pounds off so quickly.  I'm not sure how fast it will continue to work, meaning, how fast will I continue to lose 2 pounds every 5 days, but as long as the weight loss is steady, I'm good with that.  I have just about 10 more pounds to drop, and I understand this will be the hardest 10 pounds to lose, so I'm hoping for continued success with Yacon Syrup.

Start losing weight today, and order Pure Yacon Syrup by True Synergy from Amazon today.

Pros:  So far it is working very well in helping me feel full longer, and helping me lose weight.

Cons:  The taste is hard to get used to.  Just cannot take it straight, but have to mix it with something.

My Rating:  Thumbs Up for it working quickly, but Thumbs Down for the taste.

#livercleanse
Review:  I've always known just how great Milk Thistle is for the liver.  I also know I need to detox my liver.  I don't drink or smoke, but I've been on certain medications for many years that have left their toxins residing in my liver.  Needless to say, I was excited to try such a wonderful product.

The bottle says you can take from 1-3 tablets daily.  My husband has been doing great with one a day.  He's noticed an improvement with bile production in just 3 days.  It's taking me longer to get results, and I am now taking 2 tablets daily. It is important to note that this should be taken with 8 ounces of water approximately 30 minutes prior to a meal for maximum benefits.

Just let me say that this is a very natural product and should not cause any side effects. If you do feel a little weak, or experience headaches, it is due to the toxins being cleansed from your body a little too quickly. These symptoms will subside.

Milk Thistle helps those with Type 2 Diabetes and Cirrosis.  It helps reduce cancer cells of breast, cervical, renal, lung, colon and prostate cancers. Milk Thistle helps stabilizes the cell membrane and stimulates protein synthesis while accelerating the process of regenerating damaged liver tissue.

Pros:  Great product to help liver function correctly.  Tablets are small and easily swallowed.  They don't stick in my throat like others.  It works well, hubby noticed it working within 3 days.

Cons:  None.

My Rating:  A Big Thumbs Up!!!

#worldcoconutday
Review:  I had the wonderful opportunity to try the dark chocolate coconut patties.  I love Mounds and Almond Joys, but Anastasia Confections' Coconut Patties surpass those by far.  They are very moist, and very fresh.  The chocolate just melts in  your mouth with a very smooth texture.  It was very hard not to eat these all at once, they were so delicious.

These would make great gifts, especially if you visit the Caribbean or Florida, and want a souvenir to give to someone.  With all the variety of flavors, there's bound to be one for everyone.

My wish is that they would offer a box that would include 1 of each flavor, and 3 of the chocolate ones to stay consistent with their 9 in a box.  Heck, why stop at 9, 12 pieces would be even better than that.

Pros:  These were excellent.  Very Delicious.

Cons: None.

My Rating: A Big Thumbs UP!!!

Tea Tree Essential Oil

Details: Australian Tea Tree Oil by Apothecary Extracts is 100% pure.  Tea Tree Oil is considered one of the top 10 must have essential oils by many.  Further more, it is one of the most versatile essential oils.  It naturally fights acne, yeast infections, skin tags, cold sores, dandruff, warts, etc.  Use in shampoo, lotion, soap, facial cleansers, body wash, and toothpaste.
#teatreeoil
In addition this oil is used to make all natural household cleaners, detergents, shower sprays, bathroom disinfectants, kitchen sprays etc.

Apothecary offers a Free 100 page guide that offers a variety of ways how to use this amazing oil. The 4 oz. bottle will easily last a year with regular use when used with carrier oils and water. Their oil has been tested for purity and potency.  There are so many remarkable recipes in this guide book, you'll be happy you purchased the oil.


Review:  I was quite surprised that the Australian Tea Tree was different than what I currently grow in my yard.  I always thought they were the same.  Doesn't really matter, just a surprise.  What was quite a surprise was the smell of this Tea Tree Oil.  It was more pungent than I expected.

I tried this on my face where I had a few breakouts.  I tried it straight without diluting.  Even though I used just the tiniest amount on a q-tip, it was still very strong smelling.  I ended up adding some coconut oil to my breakouts which helped with the smell. And best of all the breakouts went away within 2 days.

I found it best to dilute the oil with coconut oil with using this on my body.  When using this as a disinfectant it is best to dilute it with water.  The smell isn't near as strong, but is actually refreshing and clean smelling.

One of my sons has a big issue with warts.  He'll be trying this out soon.  Unfortunately, he no longer lives with us as he is away for school.  My husband has skin tags, and this is helping with those. It works wonders on bug bites.


Tea Tree Oil is anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial.  You cannot go wrong with this important essential oil. Even though you can use this oil in dental hygiene, never ingest this oil, it is for external use only.

Here is a recipe for an anti-bacterial hand soap. Hands will thank you.

Soap Dispenser (cleaned with hot water and dried)
1/2 tbsp Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 cup seal salt (medium fine grains)
2 drops lemon essential oil
1/3 cup olive oil

MIX IT: Add all ingredients into a wooden mixing gown and stir until well blended. Pour mixture into empty soap dispenser and place in bathroom and kitchen.

Pros: I'm very excited I was able to get Apothecary Teat Tree Oil.  I use it on so many things, and have already benefited from it greatly.

Cons: Strong smelling if using straight without diluting.

My Rating: Thumbs UP!!!

#tartcherryjuice
Review:  Sleepytime Organic Tart Cherry Juice sounded like the perfect ingredient I needed for pain relief, and aiding my during those nights I can't sleep.  I've heard great news and comments about the powerful effects of using tart cherry juice and was anxious to give it a try myself.

The first day we had this, my husband benefited from it.  He has had an ongoing, but light cough, every night just as he lies down for bed.  Probably from the high hot humidity outside, and the cool a/c inside.  He got up and tried 2 tablespoons, which is the equivalent of 80 cherries.  He said it tasted great, and he didn't cough the rest of the night.  Not only that, but he went to sleep almost immediately.  His cough didn't return for a couple of nights.


A few days later, I had worked out in my yard, was sore and stiff and had a hard time sleeping that night.  I decided to take the cherry juice.  Unfortunately, it did not work for me, like it did for my husband.  I didn't get any pain relief, and I was up the entire night.  I was really wired.  I felt this was a direct result from the cherry juice. I'll just stick to using this during the day, and not any where near bed time.

Later on, my husband again tried the cherry juice at night for his cough that had returned, but also for slight pain relief.  He benefited again, and slept very well all night long.  Not wanting to give up on the cherry juice all together, I tried again, one more night.  Again, I was awake all night long.

The labeling does say that using this as a sleep aid, you may want to take it 2-3 hours prior to bedtime.  For any other benefits, you may take the tart cherry juice any time during the day.

The flavor is truly a wonderful tart cherry flavor.

Pros: Worked great for my husband to rid him of his night time cough, help with minor pains, and help him sleep.  Taste is delicious.

Cons: Did not work for me.  Kept me awake all night long when I used it.

NOTE:  Found out the hard way, that any time I take any kind of melatonin, natural or otherwise, it makes me wired. So I no longer use it to try and help me sleep.  The tart cherry juice by Elite Golds does work wonders for easing my back pain I get from working out in the yard.

My Rating: Thumbs Up and Down!

Weight Loss Tools by Ozeri

Details:  Ozeri Body Tape Measure and Body Fat Test Caliper are the perfect tools needed to measure and track your weight management program.  They provide an accurate method of determining your waist and other measurements, along with actual body fat.  These tools come with a 100% Hassle-Free Satisfaction Guarantee.

Review:  When given the opportunity to review these weight loss tools, I'm not sure who was most excited, me or my husband.  We're both very visual people, and the old fashioned tools are sometimes still the best.

 Many bathroom scales these days allows you to see your BMI (Body Mass Index.)  However, we all know that despite what that number may show us, it is still nice to know just how much unwanted body fat we have.  This is where the "old fashioned" "non-digital" way of doing things still come into play.  Ozeri provides these tools with their Body Tape Measure and Body Fat Test Caliper.

The Body Fat Test Caliper allows one to determine body fat without relying on electrical and battery powered devices.  In order to take an accurate Fat-Measure you want to measure one inch above the point of your right hipbone.  Grasp the skinfold between the thumb and index finger.  Gently pull the skinfold away from your body.  Pull the skin and underlying fat away from the muscle tissue.  Now place the caliper jaws over the skinfold about 1/4 of an inch from your left thumb and forefinger, keeping the caliper perpendicular to the skinfold.  Now press until you hear a slight click.  Your reading is now ready.  Do this a few times in a row to make sure it is consistent.  Now compare that number to the chart provided with these tools and you'll know if you are lean, ideal, average or above average.  Be sure to always take your measurements on the right side of the body.  Do not take measurements after exercising or if overheated.  Measure the same time of day.



The tape measure has a button in which to retract the tape measure once you measure your body.  It has a slight curve to make it easier to measure around your wrist, neck, waist etc.  It also allows you to easily mark the inches by placing the little "end stop" (circled in blue) in the slot and keeping it in place.


It's now so nice to have these tools in one spot, rather than running to my sewing kit to grab the tape measure when I want to measure weight loss.  I read one blog where the lady commented about her weight loss program, and had wished for these very tools prior to her beginning.  She knew she had come a long ways when she was half way through, but wished she had measured first to show just how much she had actually lost from the beginning. She mentioned she did obtain these tools when she was about half way, and was very impressed at the end by the total inches lost after starting her measurements when half way through her program.

Be sure to add these tools to your weight loss program to better keep track of your progress.  You can order yours today from Amazon.

Pros: Great tools to help one visually see the difference in weight loss by inches.  Sometimes weight loss on a scale is much different than weight loss through inches.  These help provide that measurement.

Cons:  It was a little difficult for me to understand at first how to use the calipers.  Once my husband showed me how it was a snap.

My Rating:  Thumbs UP!
