I recently had to make some lifestyle changes that I was not expecting to make.  I quickly got into a medication regimen, met with a dietician, and started an exercise plan.  I am on a journey to feel better and with that, perhaps even drop a pant size or two in the process!

I was lucky enough to be sent a box of SLIMQUICK Pure Extra Strength Drink Mix to help with my weight goals...

"SLIMQUICK Pure Extra Strength Mixed Berries Drink Mix is designed for women to help them lose 3 times the weight by addressing the 6 physical reasons women have trouble loosing weight.

SLIMQUICK Pure works to...
 - increases METABOLISM
 - reduces APPETITE
 - boosts ENERGY
 - reduces excess WATER
 - supports HORMONES
 - reduces STRESS

Rest assured SLIMQUICK Pure Extra Strength Drink Mix contains natural ingredients, like antioxidants, calcium, vitamin D and exclusive BioPure green tea (tm).

SLIMQUICK Pure Extra Strength Drink Mix has isolated the fat-burning component in green tea that speeds up your metabolism.  It is called BioPure green tea(tm) and it has been shown in a published clinical study to help overweight women lose 3 times the weight versus dieting alone, in just 13 weeks!" - WELLNX / SLIMQUICK

The flavor I received was mixed berries, and though there is no sugar, it is sweet and very easy to drink.  I loved that I did not experience any aftertaste like those associated with sweeteners.  The powder dissolved quickly and cleanly, even in cold water!

Each packet contains 3.3g of powder product.  The box I received was a 22 + 4 free combo pack, making it a total of 26 packets!  Instructions for usage are clear and easy to follow.  The most fantastic thing about this drink mix is the amount of energy you get!  Once it kicks in, you feel pure energy, no racing heart or coffee like jitters.  In the week that I have taken this (7 days) I have dropped 2 pounds.  I am excited to see where this takes me, along with my new diet and fitness routine, and what my check in will look like in 2 months.  There was a bit of resistance on my part, never knowing whether these things will work, but it has been a very pleasant surprise to see that it does with no side effects.

With this summer heat, you can even use the mix to make refreshing popsicles!  The equation is easy... you + healthy diet + exercise + SLIMQUICK Pure  = achieving goals.  To learn more about SLIMQUICK and the range of their weight loss products, go HERE.

Stay tuned for my 2 month check in!

Healthy living with Zenwise Advanced Green Tea Extract

With my new diet that incorporates more fruits, veggies and an increased water intake, and now adding in this supplement,  I have noticed that this gives me quite a bit of energy, though it states that this is caffeine free.  I feel a lot more energy than I have, and not at all jittery.  I am still some time away from loosing any weight, but I feel better.  For the past month now I just feel better in the morning!  It is easier for me to get up and go and my energy and moods are more stable and level.  Cannot wait to get into the gym!

The pills are normal size and I found no issue with taking them down.  I also did not experience them getting stuck, as can happen with some pills.  There is no aftertaste once these are ingested and I LOVE that about this supplement!  On an empty stomach I felt no sour stomach.

Birchbox - August 2011

Hello all!  Here we are again with another Birchbox post.  If you do not know what Birchbox is yet, please feel free to head to www.birchbox.com, or search "birchbox" in youtube.  I do not know how I feel about this month's box yet.  I do not think that any of the products are full size.  Well, enough of that...
Let us get on to why we are here....

Contents

August 2011 contents:

• blinc Eyeliner
• Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Hair Mask 0.71oz
• Pangea Organics Cleanser for Combo to Oily skin 1oz
• Wei Tibetan Chrysanthemum Correcting Eye Treatment Pads 2 packs of 2 each
• EXTRA: twistband hair tie

Am very excited about the eyeliner, hair mask and eye pads!  I did not like the hairband as I have very thick and did not find it to grab my hair well.  I would have liked the extra to have been different, but I am thankful! What did you guys get in your birchbox this month?

Just a thought...v.1.0

So, I recently got a gym membership.  Yeah, I actually have one.  I have been struggling to change certain habits for quite some time now.  These past two weeks has seen a change in eating and in how active I am.  This all pertains to how I am with makeup/beauty...how I carry myself.  I was scared to post pix of myself for tutorials cause I thought..."wow, look how large my face looks!".  But I have come to the realization that will be a good thing.  I am looking at it as a way to chart progress. 

Thanks for letting me ramble.  Tomorrow we will be back with our regularly scheduled blog.  :)
