Lipo in a Box- Go 2 Bras Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

Congratulations! Winner #42 Mommydoll13

 

One of the worlds top selling line of shapewear Lipo in a Box has introduced a new line of bras to their product lineup, Go 2 Bras. Did you know that an estimated 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra? I don't know about you but I have definitely had this problem in the past. For the longest time I thought I knew what my bra size was! I would purchase a bra that appeared to be the correct size and fit and after bringing it home and wearing it a couple of times would find it extremely uncomfortable. I finally was able to find my right size and it has made a world of difference. Go 2 Bras are designed to not only be attractive but to be comfortable and offer maximum support. "An everyday bra that feels like a special occasion." They come in cup sizes B-DDD and band sizes 32-44 so you are sure to find the right one for you.

I received the Rachel Go2 Bra from LIPO in a BOX with matching boyshort for review (photo taken from website). Not only was I impressed with how cute this particular bra and pantie is but the quality is top notch. This bra fit perfectly! You know that feeling you get when you put on a new piece of clothing and it fits like a glove and you know it looks good to? That's exactly how I felt the first time I wore my Go 2 Bra. I am bigger busted so support is extremely important to me when it comes to finding a bra. This bra lifts and smooths in all the right places. Bras are not cheap and I have paid quite a bit for a bra only to be disappointed with it once I got home. Go 2 Bras from Lipo in a Box are definitely worth the cost. Check out the rest of the Go 2 Bra product line here. You can also find bra sizing tips and the correct way to measure for your size.

TheraBreath Probiotic Treatment Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

Congratulations! Winner #5 Kris

You might remember a couple of months ago I reviewed some TheraBreath products and was very impressed by them. I have since continued to use the toothpaste and mints and so when I was contacted again asked if I would like to review one of their newest products of course I said yes.

"The use of probiotics in health care is based on the scientific fact that a healthy level of "good" bacteria in the body can be very beneficial. These "good" bacteria occur naturally to some degree in most people and assist in many bodily functions (such as digestion). However not everyone has enough of every type of "good"bacteria in their system. Those that do, can sometimes demonstrate elevated resistance to a variety of germ related symptoms. Those that don't. can be more susceptible to various illnesses. Research suggests that increasing levels of some "good" bacteria can help the body to defend itself against hostile bacteria."

That's where TheraBreath's newest product TheraBreath Multi-Symptom Probiotics comes in.

This 7 day treatment is designed to reduce the amount of "bad" bacteria in your mouth while alleviating the symptoms they cause. These include bad breath, throat discomfort, ear aches, yellow coating on the tongue, and other tooth and gum problems. The 7 day treatment is very easy to follow. It includes 9 treatment powders as well as a small tube of TheraBreath toothpaste. The treatment powders are conveniently packaged in a cardboard tray that can be placed directly on your bathroom counter so that you don't forget to use it. Each powder packet is also clearly labeled telling you when to use. When I first opened up the box and read that I would need to mix the powder with water before use I thought it sounded like too much trouble. I was wrong. I keep mini paper cups in my bathroom and it was very easy to fill them halfway with water, pour the treatment powder in and mix it up. I was also concerned with the fact that the directions tell you to rinse for 60 seconds and then gargle for 30. The reason I was concerned because I just had the assumption that it would have a bad taste. I have a very bad gag reflex and if something taste bad I immediately have to spit it out. I was wrong again. The powder adds a very light citrus taste to the water, not unpleasant at all. It also cools your mouth leaving it feeling clean and refreshed. I don't know that I noticed anything different happening in my mouth during the 7 day treatment but it is recommended to repeat the treatment monthly to maintain the levels of beneficial bacteria. I am definitely interested in continuing to use this and other TheraBreath products.

TheraBreath products can be purchased online and in several retail stores. Check their online store locator to find a store near you.

The people at TheraBreath have offered one of our readers the chance to win another one of their products.

1 box of Mouth Wetting Lozenges. These are the same ones that I reviewed in my prior post.

To Enter: Visit TheraBreath online and tell me one of their products you are interested in trying. You can also get extra entries for liking TheraBreath on Facebook and following them on Twitter. As usual I will also give extra entries for folloing GGG through GFC, Subscribing via email, liking us on Facebook and following via Twitter.

22 Days Nutrition Power Pack Bar Review and Giveaway

22daysnutrition.com

*Giveaway Closed* 

Winner is entry #50 

Congratulations BeautyToLove

I am a long time wanna-be vegetarian, but the drastic change from a life long meat eating diet to a meatless diet isn't as easy as flipping a switch from on to off. When  other's in your household don't believe in meatless meals it is even more difficult to change. I like the 22 days to change approach to change from 22 Days Nutrition. I recently reviewed some of their blissful treats.

The review: I received 2 power packs, 4 vegan bars in each box. None of the bars contain high fructose corn syrup, gluten, soy, trans fats or cholesterol. They are also all low in sodium. Out of six flavors I was mailed 4 flavors to try: Nut Butter Buddha Crunch, Enlightened Pumpkinseed, Cherry Chocolate Bliss and Daily Mocha Mantra (all vegan bars). Cherry Chocolate Bliss was my absolute favorite. The name suits the bar very well. well. My taste-buds were blown away by the perfectly textured and perfectly flavored nutrition bar.

On the other-hand I felt the  complete opposite about the Daily Mocha Mantra bar. I couldn't finish the bar. This is by far the worst bar I have ever tasted, but keep in mind I am biased. Why? I am not partial to coffee. In fact, I hate (strong word I know) coffee. I can't stand the smell or taste of it and this nutrition bar has plenty of coffee taste and smell to it. I'm sure anyone else who loves coffee would love this bar

The Nut Butter Buddha Crunch is a tasty bar too, but because of the 3 digits temperature in my hometown the chocolate melted in my mail box. I learned sticking the bar in the freezer solves that problem. The chocolate... so subtly sweet. The crunch... perfect.

I wasn't too fond of the Enlightened Pumpkinseed bar. It wasn't terrible like the Mocha bar, but it isn't a bar I would buy. However, my two year loved it.

At almost $3 a bar I found that the small bars to be a bit expensive for my pocketbook. Still, small as the bars are, they are packed with a lot of raw organic nutrition inside them. These bars are great for breakfast on the go, healthy, filling and easy to eat. On sale, I'd order a couple of boxes of Cherry Chocolate Bliss, for a bar a day, and take part in the 22 day challenge. Could a bar as delicious as this change my meat eating ways? Possibly.

The Giveaway: Open to U.S. only. One lucky winner will get 1 power pack to sample. *Deadline: June 30th, 2011.

POM Wonderful Review

Founded in 1987 POM Wonderful is the only company to grow, juice, and bottle their own fruit making a delicious and healthful beverage that is guaranteed 100% pomegranate juice. Unlike other so called pomegranate juices POM Wonderful contains no added sugar, colorants or low-grade fruit juices giving you all the great benefits of this super fruit. Pomegranates are known to have high levels of antioxidants that  help fight free radicals that damage the cells in your body. Drinking POM's 100 % pomegranate juice is a great way to get these antioxidants. You can find out more about the health benefits of drinking pomegranate juice here.

In addition to being a healthy drink POM is yummy! I have been drinking it for years and now my little girl Penelope enjoys it as well. Our favorite is the original pomegranate juice but POM also has several other varieties of 100 % juice and even teas.   

Speaking of the teas, I started drinking them when they first came out before they added the little x to the name. Do any of you recall the drinking glasses they use to come in with the POM label on them. I collected about 6 glasses during this time and I love these. I am so bummed they no longer come in this container. Aside from that POMx teas are another tasty drink from POM  brewed with high quality tree leaves and enhanced with pure pomegranate and other fruits.

Did you know that POM Wonderful can also be used in recipes?

Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato and Pomegranate Soup

Pomegranate and Lemon-Herb Tilapia

 POM Velvet Cupcakes with POM Cream Cheese Frosting

These are just a few that I think look amazing!

 Is there a POM variety you have yet to try? Or perhaps you found a recipe using POM that you just have to make. Become a POM Insider now and get a coupon for $1.00 off your next bottle of POM. Also be sure to like POM Wonderful on Facebook for future savings and promotions.

Lilla Rose Giveaway

CLOSED

Congratulations! Winner  #14  windycindy

Lilla Rose started off as a line of unique, functional, and fashionable hair accessories founded by a husband and father John Dorsey.

"We've been in the hair goods business since 1992 when my wife wanted that first pair of beaded chopsticks. She bought the materials to make them but then decided to go get the expensive ones at Nordstrom instead. I took her materials, fascinated by what they were selling for and started making them myself by hand in the garage."

They have since added several more items including Badge Holders, Keychains, Eyeglass Lanyards, and  Jewelry to the Lilla Rose Product line, but their flagship item is the Flexi Hair Clip. The Flexi Clip is a stylish hair adornment with a purpose. Not only does it look great on but it pulls your hair back helping you create your ideal hair style. The Flexi Clip comes in 7 different sizes from Mini to Mega so that you can get the perfect fit for your hair length and the style you wish to achieve.
