Regulat Review

Regulat is a whole food concentrate made from over 20 organically grown fruits, nuts and vegetables. It helps support our bodies immune system, providing enzymes that our needed for overall health and wellness. With all the over processing, food additives and questionable agricultural practices our food is losing much of its vital nutrients. Regulat contains whole food enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are easily absorbed by our body at the cellular level promoting overall health from the inside out.

 

Regulat also works as a detox to get rid of toxins in your body and neutralizing free radicals.
Some of the benefits of using Regulat include; better digestion, improved metabolism, stronger immune system, increased energy to name a few. You can find out more about the science behind Regulat and the benefits by visiting the Regulat website.

I was given a 12 day sample to review. While the suggested usage is for a 3 month period I did notice after just a couple of days that I had a lot more energy. In fact, I recommend not taking Regulat too late in the evening as I had a hard time falling asleep when I did. I just felt better overall while I was taking Regulat and it made me want keep using it. I am planning on purchasing some and using it regularly to improve my overall health.

OK now for the only negative I have about this product, the taste. The product is fermented so you can imagine it has a strong bitter sour taste to it. It was described to me like that of Kombucha. I was told I could mix the 2 teaspoons twice a day, that is the standard dosage, in a 1/2 cup of water or fruit juice. My first dose I tried in water, it did not help and I had a hard time drinking it without gagging. The second dose I decided to mix in fruit juice, which was equally bad. I finally decided to just take it quickly like a shot of alcohol. This worked for me. It was easy to swallow and I got very little of the fermented taste doing it this way. I also thought it was pretty funny to see my family give me weird looks when they saw me drinking out of a shot glass at 8 in the morning.

One 12 oz. bottle of Regulat costs $72.00 and can be purchased online.

eos Basket of Fruit Lip Balm Review

 

I know I have said this before but I will say it again, I love lip balm. I am one of those girls that is always rummaging through my bag to get my hands on some lip balm. What can I say I like having soft lips. Recently I was introduced to my newest lip balm love, Smooth Sphere lip balms by eos. Where have these been all my life? I was sent a limited edition 4-pack "Basket of Fruit" Smooth Sphere Lip Balm collection for review.

 

Aside from these little balls of lip balm being so adorable they work amazing and come in delicious flavors like Fresh Watermelon and Strawberry Sorbet. They are 100% natural, enriched with shea butter and jojoba oil and leave your lips feeling super smooth. They are also the perfect size to throw into your purse. Since I received a 4-pack for review I had to share the love. I gave one to my daughter, one to my sister, and one to my mom and they all have become new Smooth Sphere fans. Stars like Cher Lloyd and Miley Ray Cyrus are also puckering up to these lip balms.

 

So where can you get some? Head on over to your local Target store or visit evolutionofsmooth.com to purchase online. The limited edition Basket of Fruit 4 pack will only be available until October 2013 so hurry.

EO recently launched a new brand to their line of bath and body products, EO Everyone. Everyone products are gentle enough for the entire family. The EO Everyone brand includes; Everyone for Kids, Everyone Soap, Everyone Lotion, Everyone Lotion for Men, Everyone Soap for Men, Everyone Face products.

 

I was sent Everyone Lotion and Everyone Soap in Lavender and Aloe for review.

 

Everyone Lotion comes in a 32 oz. bottle, more then enough to share with the entire family. It is a 3 in 1 lotion- light enough for your face and hydrating and moisturizing enough for your hands and body. It is pure and natural so even the most sensitive of skins can use this. Both my husband and daughter have sensitive skin and they have been using this stuff with no problem. We all love the light lavender scent. It does a great job of moisturizing dry skin, and for only $9.99 for this big bottle of lotion my family of 3 is saving money by not having to buy different products for each of us.

 

 

Everyone Soap also comes in a 32 oz. bottle and because it is a 3 in 1 product shampoo, body wash, and bubble bath there is no need for extra bottles crowding up your shower. I love that this is gentle enough for my daughters hair and skin and every time we use it in the shower she feels the need to let me know it smells good, I mean every time. This big bottle will go a long way because all you need is a small amount and it lathers up a lot.

 

These products also come in Coconut and Lemon, Citrus and Mint, and Unscented. You can purchase them online or in many natural food and specialty stores nationwide.

Gift for Him- Nautica Aqua Rush Gold

OK so I admit, I had planned to have this review posted as a Fathers Day gift idea but with our recent move and trying to catch up on posts, I failed. No worries though, there's always a birthday or why not surprise your guy with a gift just because.

Nautica Aqua Rush Gold celebrates the strength and masculinity of the active man with notes that include a fresh burst of Lime, Pitanga and Seaweed Accord. These top notes combine with Pink Peppercorn, Waterlily and Jasmine Flower which dries to a blend of Vetiver, Amber and Sandalwood.

My husband Chris is big on cologne, he loves to smell nice and I have to say I love it too. He actually owns a lot more scents then I do, in fact I have never really been big on perfumes but since being with him I actually have several to choose from and even wear them occasionally! He already had Nautica Aqua Rush on our bathroom counter so when I saw this Nautica Aqua Rush Gold I knew he would be dying to try it. He loves the fresh clean scent. It is now in his regular rotation of colognes he wears. That's right the man has several that he rotates between! I also love the smell, it is manly without being overpowering. Nautica Aqua Rush Gold is available at Macy’s and other fine retailers nationwide. Price: $65 for 3.4 fl. oz.
