Skinny Jane Fiber Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

For this review, I was given a week supply of the Skinny Jane Fiber! As part of my 7-day challenge, I was given 4 flavors of the shake mix (which comes in Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Banana), The SkinnyBurn capsules, the SkinnyCleanse capsules, and a diet plan.

With that being said, I did NOT follow the diet plan. I was having a very busy and unusual week and was unable to follow the diet plan. Even though I didn't follow the diet plan I DID lose 4 pounds in the week I used the Skinny Jane product! I was shocked!!! I couldn't believe that even though I didn't use the diet plan, I STILL lost 4 pounds in a week!!! I can just imagine if I would have followed the diet plan!!!

Now, I do want to talk about the shake mixes.... I was very surprised at how good they actually tasted. My favorite was the chocolate shake mix! I did NOT try the banana shake mix because I can NOT stand bananas. However, my husband did try it and, being as picky as he is, he even liked it!!! I would definitely recommend this to anyone trying to lose weight and get healthy! I enjoyed the flavors and it was easy!

Hey 4 pounds in a week without changing my diet or exercise routine!!! Who can beat that?

Book Review: Lost Civilizations

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I was lucky to be one of the few people chosen to receive this product for free to review! I am interested in history and I always love reading about ancient mysteries. The book I was sent is called:

LOST CIVILIZATIONS: 10 Societies that Vanished Without a Trace
By: Michael Rank

As I began reading this book I was unsure if I was going to like it or not. However, I was pleasantly surprised by it! It was a very quick and easy read. Now, don't confuse "quick and easy read". This book was full of information and facts. I like how the author goes over 10 very different societies....some of them not even proven to EVER exist. I really enjoyed reading this one and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading about history and lost civilizations.

He is a quick description of the book off of the back cover:

"From the #1 bestselling author of History's Greatest Generals comes an exciting new book on the greatest societies in history that vanished without a trace, and why their disappearance still haunts us today. 

Whether it is Plato's lost city of Atlantis, a technological advanced utopia that sank into the ocean "in a single day and night of misfortune"; the colony of Roanoke, whose early American settlers were swallowed up in the wild forest lands of the unexplored continent, or the Ancient American Explorers, who managed to arrive to the New World 2,000 years before Columbus, the disappearance of these societies is as cryptic as it is implausible. 

This book will look at cultures of the 10 greatest lost civilizations in history. Some were millenia ahead their neighbors, such as the Indus Valley Civilization, which had better city planning in 3,000 B.C. than any European capital in the 18th century. Others left behind baffling mysteries, such as the Ancient Pueblo Peoples (formerly known as the Anasazi), whose cliff-dwelling houses were so inaccessible that every member of society would have to be an expert-level rock climber. 

It will also at explanations as to how massive societies that lasted for centuries can disappear without a trace. Did the builders of the pyramids handy craftsmen whose method of transporting massive stones are still unexplainable simply disappear or were they part of an advanced alien race, as conspiracy theorists assert? Was the Kingdom of Aksum really the keeper of the Ark of the Covenant, and did this lead to their downfall? 

Whatever the nature of their disappearance, these lost civilizations offer many lessons for us today -- even the greatest of societies can disappear, and that includes us."

You can order the book in paper back hard copy print or as a Kindle book...here!

My family and I just moved to New York and so we are miles away from our friends and family! The best way to allow them to keep up with my family is through pictures. However, I found that I tend to take way too many pictures, and I am unable to choose between them! LOL! Rather than posting 30 different pictures, I can now add them all together in one collage and just post the one collage!

Designer Tie by PUCCINI

I was chosen as one of a select few to review an awesome Puccini designer tie. I am a women and of courses I don't wear ties, however I have an amazing father-in-law who does wear them daily. Now, not to be mean or anything, but he is kind of a tie snob. LOL. He only likes certain ties of certain qualities and this one passed the test. These ties are very nice and come in any color you could imagine!

This is the tie that I received:

I think it is a gorgeous color and of high quality materials. My inlaws are set to go on a cruise and I knew this color would match my mother-in-law's outfit perfectly so I sent the tie to my father-in-law. I was right the tie matched perfectly.

As you can see for yourself....this tie looks amazing. The best part is, while on the cruise he happened to drop some red sauce on his tie and was worried it wouldn't come out. However, no worries.....the sauce came right out and the tie looks just like new. 

If you want to check out the colors and designs available, you can do so here!

They have ties sorted by color and they have special sizes as well. Even kids sizes too. Not only do they have neckties....they also have bow ties, cuff links, and handkerchiefs! 

This is directly from their site:

NAAT Brazilian Keratin Hair Care

Lucky me! I was lucky enough to be chosen to review the

NAAT Brazilian Keratin  Products! 

I was skeptical at first that these products could be as good as I have heard. I was excited to give them a try though! Much to my surprise they were more work then I thought they would be. LOL! I thought I would just put it in and wash it out and then my hair would look amazing....ha ha that was not the case! For the different products there are different directions for use to get the best outcome! I followed these directions and I can tell you that I am over-joyed about the outcome of my hair! I am much surprised to inform that I was actually completely stunned! lol!

Sun Shadz by Monimay

I am excited to share with you the new product I was lucky enough to get to try! I was able to try the new product called Sun Shadz by Monimay. Sun Shadz is an all natural sun screen for your scalp. I was never truly aware of how prominent scalp cancer is becoming. However, if you truly sit and think about it I think you would agree that most people that use sunscreen tend to use it everywhere on their body EXCEPT their scalp. After all, who wants all that greasy, oily substance in their hair? Well if you are like me then you agree that greasy and oily are not terms that you would like associated with your hair. However I have been recently trying to be as safe as possible when it comes to the sun and my skin. Well that is where this awesome product comes in. Sun Shadz and Hair Shadz are actually sunscreen for your hair that is a powder you apply directly to the roots and scalp. When you buy the product from the Monimay site it comes with the powder and a built in soft bristle brush that allows you to apply it easily and quickly. The other great part about this product is that it is an all natural mineral powder. Which means not only can women use it, men and children can use it as well!

As most of you know I live in Texas and last week we had a few actually HOT days. The sun was out and blaring down on us. I happened to decide to take my kids to the park one day so we could play and have a picnic. We turned out going around 10:00 AM and stayed until about 2:00 PM. I used the clear (shea) Sun Shadz on all of our scalps and then also applied sunscreen to the kids' faces and shoulders. I love how the Sun Shadz didn't make our hair look greasy or matted down. It actually made our hair look fuller and feeling soft. By the time we woke up the next morning, our scalps were all burn free and so were the kids' faces. My face on the other hand was red and tender on my nose and on my cheekbones.

You can order the Sun Shadz and/or the Hair Shadz right off the Monimay website. They sell for a price of $29.95. The Hair Shadz are actually colored in ordered to match your hair color. Sun Shadz and Hair Shadz come in 10 different colors including: Pale Blond (Pat), Beige Blond (Sandy), Golden Blond (Margaret), Light Brown (Anna), Light Warm Blond (Dona), Medium Brown (Chloe), Medium Warm Brown (Marsha), Dark Brown (Paula), Copper Red (Lucy), Red Violet (Gigi), and Translucent Sun Shadz (Shea).
