Vita Sciences Maxasorb B12 Cream Review!

In my product review journey I've discovered a LOT of supplements that have made my overall health better. From energy boosts to focusing to hair growth, I've tried them all. One thing that I was interested in, but not sure of where to start, was reinforcing my immune system. Working around kids leads to sickness...quite often. I've heard of the Vitamin C remedy, but I wanted something more (as I'm already getting Vitamin C through a multi-vitamin). The more I researched, the more I became convinced that B12 is exactly what I needed!

As a vegetarian, there are certain vitamins that I need to get through means other than my food. B12 is one of these, and is highly suggested for nursing mothers, vegetarians, people who drink and smoke a lot, and elderly people.

The most noted benefit of B12 is the energy gain. It allows the body to convert carbs to glucose. Glucose is the sugar in grapes that cause them to be a sudden burst of energy. The body processes it quickly, and puts it to use immediately.

B12 is also fantastic for skin, hair, and nails. When you pick up a supplement for this purpose specifically, you will see it listed. It fortifies hair follicles and gives skin and hair a healthy glow.

The most interesting benefit I found was as a depression-fighter! Who knew that B12 would help to relieve stress and balance out the body? I'm all about feeling better! Along those lines, it also helps with blood pressure, which plays into the entire digestive and cardiovascular systems.

As for my experience with the product, I have to say...it glides on smoothly, is scentless (to me, anyway...my husband didn't report smelling it), and absorbs quickly. I can't say as to my actual blood pressure, vitamin absorption, etc. but I did notice a re-energized feeling the same days that I tested it.

Making Weighing In Fun: Smart Weigh Memory Scale Review!

Let's face it: nobody likes to weigh in. Usually, when you're using one, you're looking for a change. Whether it's gaining weight or losing weight, you're typically not happy with how you are. This gives the scale a negative image. When I received my free product to test, I didn't know how I felt about it. However, when I pulled it out of the box and saw that it was absolutely GORGEOUS, I couldn't wait to have it on display in our bathroom. As silly as that sounds, this scale is truly sophisticated and artistic looking. I couldn't wait to give it a try, despite not quite being happy with my appearance.

When I stepped onto the glass surface (THAT made me nervous but after a few one-footed steps, I gained the courage to trust it), I realized that it would easily hold my weight. The glass surface is smooth and thick, so it's not going to break. The details of the surface are done in mirror glass. It looks fantastic because it will reflect whatever decor is around it.

The digital readout of the scale lit up and displayed my weight very quickly. It's a blue LED color that glows very brightly. It wasn't until I had my husband step on the scale that I realized that the scale stored memories of weights and their changes. A number "02" appeared next to his weight. When he stepped off, I stepped back on and immediately, "01" appeared along with my current weight. The next day, when I weighed in, I had gone down in weight. My weight appeared on the screen, and the difference between my weight the day before and the current day appeared at the bottom next to the "01". So the scale remembered my weight AND told me the difference. I could tell this by looking instantly because the display turned green. The next day, I had gained weight and the scale told me how much. I knew that I had gained instantly because the display turned red.

I LOVE this scale. It's ease of use is unparalleled in that it does all of the math for you, and can do the same thing for multiple people. With its sleek design and sturdy, quality construction, I would highly suggest it to anyone!

Something TOTALLY New: Organic Deodorant Creme by Bella Naturals

Normally, I'm open to trying a lot of new things, so long as they're within the range of products that I've used before. Facial serums, hair growth vitamins, and conditioners are examples of products that I review pretty regularly. When the opportunity arose to review an organic deodorant creme, I hesitated to apply just because I had never tried a creme deodorant. However, I was really interested in the idea of using an organic deodorant, so I gladly accepted my free product.

When it arrived, the first thing that I noticed was how strong the scent was. If I would change anything about the product, I would have much preferred to have it in a floral or fruity scent. The vanilla mint scent is wonderful, but it's not a common deodorant scent. It's very strong, but I didn't find it any more overwhelming than someone chewing a minty gum.

The deodorant came in a small jar that reminded me of a Carmex jar. It has a screw on lid and easily opens and closes. The product inside is a thick, white creme and has the consistency of melted deodorant (I hope I'm not the only one who's left it in a hot car...), but a little firmer.

The only other thing I would change about this product is to have it easier to get out. Now, it isn't an issue, because my container is full (a little goes a LONG way!). When I've used it more, the level will go down, and I'll have to reach further into the container to get to the product. This will be messy, as I'll have to stick more of my fingers in. I think a push-up bottom in a tube would be a fantastic idea for this product. That would eliminate the mess and getting the deodorant all over consumer's hands.

Once I applied the deodorant, I noticed that it had a cooling sensation. I liked it! :) It went on smoothly and evenly.

At this point I have to add: organic deodorant won't work immediately. Non-organic deodorants clog the pores of your skin, so it takes about a week to detox. For me, personally, I decided to detox over spring break because I knew it could get ugly. After detoxing and exfoliating a few times, I tried the deodorant.

My results: as long as I'm not doing anything extremely strenuous, it works perfectly. On days that I'm not active, I noticed that it did a decent job of keeping me from stinking. However, once I ran, I believe it sweated off, and I became a nasty, stinking, mess.

Typical deodorants keep you from sweating or they use tons of chemicals to mask the scent. The concept of organic deodorant is that it fights the bacteria that is sweated out.

The ingredients listed are: Organic Shea Butter, Organic Arrowroot Powder, (Vegan), Organic Sunflower Oil,  Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Aluminum-Free Baking Soda, Organic Peppermint Essential Oil, Organic Vanilla Extract, Organic Tea Tree Essential Oil

So...as a healthier alternative, I will wear this deodorant anytime I'm not running or at the gym. I know that, ideally, I would go straight organic, but mostly organic with few exceptions is much better than having deodorant on 24/7 that contains aluminum! For those days that I have to get active, I'll look for an aluminum-free alternative with a little more punch. Although I know that this deodorant will have chemicals and unnatural additives, I just can't stand sweating the deodorant off and smelling bad.
