Strand Maximizer Strand Thickening Fibers Review!

I hate, hate, hate my thin hair! For the longest time I did things to it that were very damaging, but temporarily (and I mean like two hours, tops) fixed the problem. My hair is very thin because of all of this damage, so I pretty much gave up. However, when the opportunity to review Strand Maximizer Strand Thickening Fibers arose, I jumped on it!

At first, I expected the fibers to look goofy...after all...they're colored. And as much as I'd like to think I have standard hair color...I don't. I have crazy dark burgundy, so I selected the "Auburn" color. When they arrived, I was hesitant to open the package because I just KNEW it would be a mess. However, I took it slow and used a little at a time, slowly building up to my satisfaction. I must say...I'm VERY happy! This does virtually no damage to my hair, isn't noticeable (color-wise) and gives me that volume that I've been looking for!! I'm so excited to know that I can just throw this into my routine and have thicker hair all day!

The only downside is I like playing with my hair now that it's getting longer. You definately don't want to do that! Just put it in and leave it along. It withstands normal movement...but not sliding your hands over your hair a hundred times in a row!

Don't damage your hair any further and don't pay hundreds of dollars for expensive products that might not work! This is your answer!!

Somnis: Your Answer for Insomnia!

I get SUPER SUPER SUPER excited when I review something that helps me dramatically, changes my life, and that I know can help others! That's EXACTLY how I feel about a supplement that I recently tried to help with my insomnia: Somnis!

Most people are reluctant to try a sleep aid because they can become habit-forming or have dangerous chemicals. Somnis simply uses melatonin and GABA to help you fall asleep quickly and stay that way!

The capsules are SO easy to swallow that they don't bother an anti-pill person like me! There's no bad aftertaste or heartburn the next day and there's also no groggy or medicated feeling when you wake up!

I SWEAR I've never slept better than I have while using Somnis. I was so excited that I offered a fellow insomniac a few to try, and he reported back to me, without knowing my opinion, my exact thoughts!

With all of those negative side effects gone, you've got nothing to worry about except finding enough pillows!

Give it a try! You won't regret it!

Lesser Known Supplement Review: Milk Thistle!

In my product review journey, I've been offered many supplements. As appealing as "free" may seem, I'm very picky about what I will actually ingest as, you know, it's my LIFE! Usually, I will accept fish oil, biotin, calcium, and the like. When offered the opportunity to test a milk thistle supplement for free, I did a little research, and decided that it was something I might want to try.

With any given supplement, there are benefits that one hopes to gain by taking it. In my research, I found that milk thistle is a relative of the daisy, and was mostly used to treat liver issues such as jaundice, hepatitis, and gallbladder issues. Other benefits it had were lowering cholesterol and helping with type 2 diabetes. It is important to realize that there isn't really enough scientific evidence to support these claims. Research is still in the beginning stages.

The main benefit of milk thistle at this point is as an antioxidant. It's basically a liver flush. When you think about all that the liver processes and passes through, it can't hurt to have a little antioxidant. I wouldn't bank on this supplement to reverse liver damage, but a little natural cleansing is definitely not out of the question.

As for VitaPure Products' supplement, I found that the capsules were easy to swallow and didn't stick in my throat. They didn't have an overwhelming odor, the label was written in clear, easy to understand English. It clearly shows the ingredients and the amount. It also provides plenty of contact information for any questions that may arise. Many supplements do not provide this. The label looks professionally designed and graphically sound. The lid was safety sealed to the bottle.

While I have no evidence of actually being detoxed, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I had no negative side effects or issues with taking the supplement.

If you're considering this supplement, please research to see if you're part of the audience who should NOT take this supplement. I highly suggest using WebMD when looking for this information.

Forskolin....What is THAT?

I'm always on the lookout for new things that I've never tried before. One of the reason I started product reviewing was to broaden my horizons in relation to products, brands, and different types of products (especially health and beauty). Needless to say, I was curious about Forskolin when I heard a friend talking about it. Within a few days, there was the option to receive a bottle free, for my honest opinion. Now, I'm not stranger to weight loss supplements, their side effects, and their effectiveness. I knew that this would either work extremely well and quickly, or it would work slowly. Depending upon body chemistry, diet, exercise, genetics, etc. you're looking at a wide margin of results for any given group of people.

I went into this with an open mind and (not negatively) low expectations. Forskolin comes from the Indian Coleus plant. Essentially, the plant extract helps hormones carry messages that they need to carry. This can be effective in weight loss. Many are turning to the extract as a way to manage their weight. My personal experience with Supreme Pure's version was positive, but not an event to write home about.

Now, I mentioned that it would either work immediately or slowly work. While I HOPED to be in the first category, I am, sadly, stuck in the second. BUT, that is not the fault of the product. I just have a different body type! What I did notice, that benefited me immensely, were a few things: the dosage isn't outrageous. I've taken natural supplements that called for taking 12 capsules a day. NO WAY! It gets to be a nasty feeling, swallowing pills! You don't have to worry about that here! Secondly, there was no foul odor with this supplement. Some, you just don't want to take because of the smell. The benefit that I most noticed from taking Forskolin was an increase in energy. So, if nothing else, the supplement gave me the energy to get up and do something! I found myself less tired and more ready for whatever the day brought. I was in a better mood because of this. On top of that, I think having more energy during the day caused me to sleep better at night (doing more is more exhausting!).

Although I did not witness weightloss results with this supplement, I know that it has helped my energy levels immensely. Supreme Pure's affordability makes it easy for everyone to try something new!

Have you tried and "hype" products? What were your results?

Zenwise Labs: Hair Growth Vitamin with DHT Blocker!

Hello, guys!


In the spirit of supplements and hair growth, I've decided to review another product that I received a while back. This one is Zenwise Labs' Hair Growth Vitamins + DHT Blocker. That way, you, dear readers, have options and different products to sort of compare and contrast. Compared to my last product, this one is slightly different. Regardless, the benefits, after two weeks of taking the supplement, showed themselves. 

A few things that I loved:


* Easy-to-open bottle. I had no issues getting into it! 
* The small capsule size made it easy to swallow. Some capsules are made of material that easily gets caught in your throat. With this capsule, you don't have that problem! 
*The ingredients are all natural! In fact, here's a list! 

Key Ingredients:
Biotin
MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane)
Grapeseed Extract
Saw Palmetto
Pumpkin (Seed-Curcubita Pepo)(4:1)
Gotu Kola (Herb-Centella Asiatica) (4:1)
Ginkgo Biloba (Leaf)
L-Lysine Hcl
L-Proline
Kelp
Citrus Bioflavanoids
Nettle (Leaf-Urtica Dioica)
Catalase
Resveratrol


 *It WORKS! I noticed significant nail growth within two weeks of beginning the product. My nails were stronger, grew more quickly, and grew to a longer length. In fact, I got to see the progress first-hand when I accidentally slammed off my toe nail! I expected it to take FOREVER to grow back but within the span of a week and a half....it was back! 

*There's no "funky" odor when you open the bottle!

*There's no need to take four or five pills a day as with other hair growth supplements I've used! That was a major plus. You can take one or you can take two!

Overall, I would highly suggest using Zenwise Labs' Hair Growth Vitamins + DHT Blocker if you're looking to jumpstart your hair health or grow it long!

Until next time!

Evergreen Nature, Hair Skin & Nails Supplement Feedback

Hello, again, everyone!! I've got another product review for you, but I first need to clarify something! Yes...I do a lot of positive product reviews. No...I'm not paid to give my good word. If ever the day comes that I get ahold of a truly terrible product, I WILL let the world know!

 The products that I "apply" to test are specific. I don't apply for anything and everything. I only apply to test products that I have a specific need for. If I have perfect skin, for example, I couldn't help a company by reviewing an acne product. It would do no good, because I couldn't give an accurate representation or impression on if the product actually works.

The products that I apply for benefit my life in some way or correct "problems" that I have. Another example: you've seen a lot of hair and skin products on my blog lately. I can honestly say that product reviewing has greatly improved how I take care of myself and these "problems" that I have. I've had issues with slow growing, breaking hair for as long as I can remember. Since I've started testing oils, masks, and conditioners, my hair has shown significant growth over a short amount of time. I'm VERY happy! So when I give a positive review, it's because I have tested and SEEN the product work.
