Healthy food & product reviews!
It’s officially cold and flu season! (Boo!!!) And while there are vaccinations to help prevent the flu, there are no vaccinations against Rhinovirus aka the cold. However, you can take some over the counter supplements that may help support a healthy immune system. Vitamin Friends has a immune system support probiotic gummy that has Vitamin C, Zinc, Echinacea and […]
You are eating the healthy food…but are you properly digesting it? Dr. Liz Cruz, a gastroenterologist, is the creator of Everyday Enzymes, a natural supplement designed to help you digest and absorb all the healthy nutrients. According to the pamphlet I received, this supplement helps support the digestion of protein, fats and carbs, as well as aiding in digestive issues such […]
INSPYR Gear has a ton of both functional and motivating fitness gear. The socks in particular rock! They have a cute, “empowerment message” on every pair, reinforced heel and toe, arch support, and come in GREAT colors. They are 70% cotton, 20% nylon and 10% spandex. They sent me a few pairs of their socks and they definitely don’t disappoint! […]
Theraplex sent me some skin products to try– normally I am hesitant to try new skin products. I have terribly sensitive skin, everything makes my skin blotchy or break out, but I was told these products are dermatologist recommended and accepted by the National Eczema Association, so I was definitely more on board to give them a try.

I’ve tried a couple. Some are well worth the 6$ a pint and others you may as […]
Proper hydration seems to be an issue these days. I get it. We’re busy. We like coffee over plain water. Or maybe we just hate running to the bathroom every DAMN 5 minutes…but it’s key to stay hydrated. Being dehydrated is dangerous for your body, and can lead to headaches, loss of focus, fatigue, and even long term dehydration may […]
Hi there! Today we are reviewing one of my favorite things… granola. In yogurt, out of the box, in bar form, UGH LOVE IT. I could eat it all day. I won’t…because it’s usually loaded with sugar…but here’s hopes to Just Granola filling the void for granola, that is both healthy and nutritious. Note: If after this review you decide […]
