My Review:  Okay, just to start with, I could have used this when I was living in Utah because of the dry weather, I was literally sick for 3 whole years.  This works really well.  It helped me stay healthy during a flue and cold out break.  I feel like I need to recommend these, but I really have issues with GIANT pills that you have to swallow.  Having to take 4 huge pills daily isn't really worth it to me, so I only start taking them when I feel like I am getting sick, and within 3 - 5 days those little feelings of trying to get sick are gone.  And I don't get sick!  So if you struggle with being sick alot, and if you live in cold weather, and or dry weather I highly recommend these products to you.  I highly recommend taking them with food (not just a liquid) because other wise you burp of the not so pleasant flavors of the oils.  I also highly suggest you drink them down with your favorite juice, it helps me take large pills.  Other positive notes: I love that its all natural, and cold pressed.  I love that its oils because they tend to dissolve sooner than a chunky pill.

Pros: works great, helps keep you healthy, prevents sickness

Cons: large pills to take, you burp of the flavors if not taken with food or juice.

My Review:  I love gummy vitamins period.  They are so much more enjoyable to take, and easier to take as well.  Gummy vitamins actually give you something to look forwards to as you take these daily.  But for me

personally calcium is just one of those supper important vitamins (along with the vitamin d) that as a woman I REALLY need to take on a daily basis, but its so hard to find a calcium that my body will handle.  I've tried the chocolate, strawberry and caramel chews from Viactiv, and the Equate brands.  I've tried Vita Fusion calcium gummies.  And I've tried multiple different calcium capsules and pills, and even just downing tons of dairy and or dark green leafy vegetables to get the calcium my body needs.  None of them have really helped me without giving me any type of side effect.  This brand isn't the first gummy calcium that I've had, but its the first that I can actually see and feel a difference.  My stomach and body doesn't react poorly to this brand, I have been taking it daily without missing since I got it a few days ago.  It tastes good, and although there is some sugar in this, that small amount of sugar doesn't harm me either.  I can't believe that only one gummy is what I need daily.  Usually with gummies for adults you need between 2 - 4 gummies to take in the recommended daily amount of those vitamins.  I highly recommend Natural Dynamix calcium DX gummies!  They are worth it!

Pros: great flavors, all natural, easy to take, no yucky side effects

Cons: none

doTERRA Essential Oils

Details: David Hill, DC is a leading expert in the field of integrative medicine and essential oils.  Mr. Hill has dedicated his life and medical practice to empowering others to take control of both their own health and the health of their families and loved ones.  doTERRA's collection of essential oils represents the finest aromatic extracts available in the world today.  Each oil provides the living essence of its source botanical, gently distilled from plants that are nurtured and carefully harvested throughout the world.  These oils are certified pure therapeutic grade.

doTERRA came alive in the spring of 2008, as a group of healthcare and business professionals who shared profound personal eperiences with the life-enhancing benefits of essential oils.  Creating this company they decided to make this their mission, to share life-enhancing benefits of the essential oils with the world.

The introductory package of doTERRA oils gives you a pamphlet all about doTERRA the company, and what essentials are.  Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, and flowers of plants.  In the introductory package of doTERRA oils are 3 oils: lavender, lemon, and peppermint.  There are 3 application methods, and 3 sensitivities of skin.  These classifications help us to know how to use each oil for its use best.  

My Review: Receiving the doTERRA essential oil introductory package from a friend, my family has been able to enjoy the power of the oils for the past month and a half.  We used the lavender to help sooth our 2 year old's diaper rashes, the peppermint to open our sinuses and airways, the lemon to improve my moods (especially during those PMS times), and used it to sooth cold sores.  We've been able to use these 3 essential oils, but they weren't really important or very essential to our family.  But we're all very excited to see what else we can find through doTERRA and be able to use them for each of our family members.  We've heard so many great things about essential oils are excited we're using them now.

Pros: a little drop of oil goes a long way, great for health and wellness

Cons: these are expensive, MLM

Pure Protein Whey shake

Pure Protein 100% whey protein shake: frosty chocolate flavored

Details: Eat good, look Great!  140 calories, 0 trans fat, 2 grams sugar.  25 gram premium protein: supports lean muscle and strength, helps maintain a healthy immune system.  This is to be used as a food supplement only, not to reduce weight.  32 oz bottle of powdered chocolate whey.  This is a delicious fast acting protein powder that provides all of the essential amino acids needed to help support lean muscle, energy, vitality, and strength.  Provides gold standard cross flow When protein sources including Microfiltered whey protein isolate and ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate.  7 different options of how to use this whey protein.

Information:  I have been using this for 1 month.  In 6 years of trying different whey, soy, and other protein, weight-loss shakes, this is the best flavored and easiest powder to use.  I used to have to blend in bananas, frozen yogurt, berries, and all kinds of things into the other shakes that I've tried, but this I mix with water and drink it with nothing else blended into the mixture.  I love it!  I have already lost 3 pounds, and kept it off.  Even with all the junk food, candy, sweets and ice cream that I ate during the holidays.  I drink this for my breakfast, and then have a Fiber One 90 calorie brownie two hours later as a snack before lunch.  This holds me over, and keeps me from being hungry until lunch time, where I eat a smaller portioned amount of food.  I try to eat a peanut butter, banana tortilla sandwich, or celery and peanut butter with steamed veggies, and drink tons of water.  I highly recommend this as a great whey protein shake.  This can help you loose weight, because it gives you lots of energy and stimulates your metabolism, but I also combine it with exercising to equal the amount of no less than 500 calories burned a day.  I use an elliptical, and I lift weights, do jumping jacks, and have a whole system of exercising I got from Pinterest.com.  ( click on system to see my pinterest board for fitness ) I eat 6 small meals a day, and drink 16 cups of water or more a day.  I try to limit the amount of bread, sugar, and starches that I eat.  I also only eat chicken and turkey and tuna as meat.  On weekends I will allow myself to have a small amount of beef, like a burger.  I eat tons of steamed vegetables, and try to eat lots of fruit, but that doesn't always happen.  If you love to add fruits in your smoothies and shakes click on this link to get some of the best recipes that I've found.
