Fembody Nutrition Slim Select contains a breakthrough formula with EGCG Green Tea Extract and Raspberry Ketones, which helps accelerate fat burning and support healthy metabolism. I have been taking the Slim Select for a few days and have noticed a difference in the way I feel.  I feel more energetic and I don’t feel jittery even though the product does contain caffeine (as much as about 1 cup of coffee per serving).  I plan to continue taking Fembody Slim Select as well since I took the Fembody Slim Select to my doctor before trying it to make sure it would be okay and he gave me the green light.  Here are the ingredients:

Fembody’s advanced nutritional formulas are designed to:

I’m so glad I found Made from Earth.  Their products are organic, holistic and chemical free!  Perfect for anyone with sensitive skin or anybody for that matter since it’s so good for your body!

A little bit about Made from Earth from their website:

Our line of organic skincare essentials contain the highest possible levels of certified organic ingredients and fruits.  We have searched the entire USA for ingredients that meet our earth-friendly requirements and are hand-selected to provide you with exceptional skincare.  You will find our ingredients listed prominently on our products and throughout this website. No catchy phrases or deceptive marketing – our ingredients speak for themselves.

I’m so happy I’ve found a product that not only works with my skin but makes it feel better without using harmful chemicals.

I loved the Holistic honey body lotion!  Honey attracts and retains moisture which is great for any skin type.  The natural hydrating and antioxidant properties of honey seal the moisture close to the skin and have amazing healing properties.  Almost all of my dry scaly patches are gone after using the holistic honey body lotion for 3 days.  Amazing!

The Green Tea toxin cleanser is not only organic, holistic and chemical free, it helps rid the body of harmful free radicals which damage your skin and can cause wrinkles!  It contains vitamins A, B, C and E and is non irritating which is a lifesaver for my skin.  I have eczema pretty bad on my face and after using this cleanser twice a day for 3 days and my skin feels wonderful.  I will never go back to products that contain chemicals again.  Made from Earth is my new brand!

As someone with big lips that continuously get chapped, I really enjoyed the Made from Earth citrus fresh organic lip balm with Vitamin E.  It’s antioxidant rich, moisturizing and again, chemical free!  My lips feel soft all day from one application and I love the taste (which I can lick since it’s chemical free and all natural!).

To purchase Made from Earth products, please visit their website www.madefromearth.com

We started out doing a difficult scavenger hunt.  We almost won but we were beat by another team, booo!

Scavenger Hunt

Our first activity was to build a sandcastle into the White House (hard I know).  Luckily I had just been to Washington DC a few months before so it was fresh in my mind that it was a rectangle and had columns, helpful I know.  We got to work!

We won that challenge!  All the teams did an awesome job though.  We took the time to make a garden in the back like the First Lady’s garden and a little airplane for Air Force One.  We also made a gate and Pennsylvania Avenue out front.  We rocked it!

Then it was time for other activities like a race through the water on a float (which was so hard!), hula hooping and a race to see which team could put on a grass skirt, necklace and coconut bra first.  Here’s me trying to move fast doing this:

A big, big thank you to Jambu Footwear for sponsoring this fun event for us.  They have such a wide selection of shoes, some for the active women.  I am really digging JBU300-Barefoot shoe:

Bare Feet Designs is a minimalistic approach to footwear for women on the move. These designs embody the barefoot stride by allowing a wider range of natural motion for your feet and leg muscles. A blend of rice husks and natural rubber make the Bare Feet™ outsoles eco-friendly and sustainable. These breathable flats are versatile and easy to get on and off, making them a perfect shoe for spring and summer.

Please go like Jambu on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.  Again, thank you Jambu!

I plan to use HotelCoupons.com to plan our family vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC this year.  We are also going to visit Pensacola, FL since I had such a great time on my trip there.

Some of the activities we enjoyed on our Brandcation were ziplining and tubing (I didn’t get to tube because of a toe incident) at Adventures Unlimited.  We went a Dolphin Cruise where we saw a bunch of dolphins (one of my favorite animals).  We also went stargazing with the Escambia Amateur Astronomers.  We enjoyed dining at Portofino Island Resort’s bar and grill, and at the yummy Surf Burger in Pensacola.

I will be going to Brandcation again!  I had such an amazing time and a big thanks to HotelCoupons.com for helping make this event happen.

I know I stress exercising and living a healthy lifestyle but that doesn’t mean that you should have fun too!  I love playing bingo!  Onlinebingo.com (sign up now) is my favorite site.   It’s relaxing and just gets my mind off of stressful events from the day.  I recommend meditation but also sometimes you need a relaxing game of online bingo!  Maybe you like playing majong or even chess.  Whatever you guilty pleasure maybe, remember that keeping hobbies is just as important to your mental health as it is to your physical health.

I recommend that you exercise at least 30 minutes a day and eat healthy meals with more vegetables than bread and/or meat.  But, I also recommend that you keep a hobby and work on it at least a few times a week for your mental health.  When we are happy, we are more likely to stay healthy and keep our daily routines.  I suggest having fun and watching your favorite shows or playing online games like I do (Bingo) just to de-stress and clear your mind.  I know a lot of you don’t mediate and that’s fine.  Just make sure you have a hobby where you can let go of life’s stresses and just have fun.

Some fun facts about my favorite online game:  Did you know that Bingo was invented in 1929?  Did you also know that Bingo is often used as an instructional tool in American schools for Math, Reading, Science, and many other subjects? It’s also used to teach English as a foreign language in many countries. Typically, the numbers are replaced with beginning reader words, pictures, or unsolved math problems.  Not only can it be used as something to clear your mind of life’s stresses but it can also teach you new things!

What are some of you favorite things to de-stress after a long day?

You don’t exercise regularly

I’ve been guilty of this.  Exercising 15 minutes one day a week is not regular exercise.  You need to make working out a part of your daily routine.  Make a goal to exercise 30 minutes a day, everyday.  Try to work out in the morning to boost your energy and mood for the rest of the day.

You don’t eat right

Maybe you do exercise regularly but you don’t pay attention to what goes in your mouth.  If you aren’t sticking to your diet, you won’t see results.  Find a diet plan that works for you and stick with it.  I recommend the Body by Vi Challenge.  Read Which Body by Vi kit is right for me for more information.

You need help from a doctor

Maybe you have a thyroid issue or a hormonal imbalance.  It’s important to get a physical at least once a year.  Be sure to bring up your weight loss struggle at your next appointment.  Your doctor can help guide you in the right direction. It’s also very important to see your doctor before starting any weight loss program.

You don’t sleep enough

I used to only sleep four hours a night.  Trust me when I say this put a strain on my weight loss.  I couldn’t get through my workout and my energy level was almost nonexistent.  It is imperative that you get at least seven hours of sleep a night so your body will be ready for exercise the next day.

You’re too stressed

Stress can lead to overeating and it can throw your body all out of whack.  I am a huge advocate of meditation. Meditate a few days a week to reduce stress and keep your mind thinking positive.  I recommend The Beginner’s Mediation Guide.

You haven’t built muscle

Ok, so everyone has muscle tissue.  It is a proven fact that the more muscle tissue you have, the more calories you burn.  Do strength training exercises every other day for at least 30 minutes a day.  I do ab exercises on day, legs the next and arms the next.  Build that muscle and your weight loss will be easier, trust me.

You get discouraged easily

Stop weighing yourself every day!  When you weigh yourself constantly, you will get discouraged and possibly fall back into your old habits.  Remember, you didn’t gain all your weight in a couple of weeks so you won’t lose it that quick either.  Weigh yourself once a week, on the same day at the same time and do it naked.  And be sure to measure yourself as well.  Sometimes you will lose inches but not pounds.

Keep up your weight loss efforts and follow these simple guidelines.  Remember, you can do it through determination and hard work!
