Herbalife


A friend and ex coworker Elizabeth has been using Herbalife products. She has loved using them so much that she is now selling them. She does not go into things lightly. She does her research and wouldn't be pushing anything she hadn't tried herself.

I know her personally and have seen her grow from a teenager into a wonder mother who also continues her journey in learning, while helping others.

I will be getting a sample in the mail from her to try out for myself but I want those who might be interested to take a look at what she has to offer over on her site Herbalife.

Below is a recipe that got me interested and one I would like to make when the sample comes in.


Pina Colada Macaroons
4 cups dried shredded coconut
6 scoops Pina Colada Formula 1
¼ cup coconut milk (in a can)
¼ cup coconut milk powder
¼ cup raw honey
¼ cups coconut oil
2 Tbsp. cashew butter Sift and mix dry ingredients together: coconut, formula 1, coconut milk power. Set aside. In a small sauce pan, on low/medium heat, melt coconut oil, honey, cashew butter, and coconut milk until smooth. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and form into any shape. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 or more minutes. Enjoy!

Garnier Whole Blends



Recently I was able to try out some new products while sharing samples with friends and family. Three new products from Garnier Whole Blends. I was sent packages of shampoo and conditioner in these three blends.
Coconut Water Vanilla Milk
Coconut Oil Coconut Butter
Honey Treasures


 Here I am after washing and letting my hair dry naturally. It is soft but still has some frizziness. I used the Coconut Water Vanilla Milk.

I then used the Coconut Oil Coconut Butter and found that this tamed my frizziness perfectly for several days.


Last but not least I used the Honey Treasures. This is a repairing shampoo and conditioner so I have decided to back and forth between the Honey Treasures and Coconut Oil Coconut Butter for the perfect mixture for my hair care needs.



Lightly scented not overwhelming, does a great job, affordable, although coupons combined with sales would be when I would purchase this. Every cent counts in our family. I recommend this product for those who want more soft hair, or less frizzy hair, or need a product that will help restore and protect their hair. I am 43 with natural hair, no greys yet and want to keep my hair that way as long as I can.

Some of my family that was able to try out the products.

Family charger



If you are like me and have a family with several tech products then they all need a place to charge their items for the next day. This is a great item that you can plug in regular items as well as usb
items. This works great for both our laptops, ipads, ipods, etc. We made one area where everyone charges so there are no more lost cords, which cuts down on how much money is going out of our home, and insures our children are not going to bed with their tech.

My husband would actually like to see this with few extra plug in spots to be perfect for him, but until one comes along this fits our family quite well.


This Charger can be found on Amazon.

Amber Tick and Flea Collar


First things first our Saint Bernard is accustomed to jewelry not collars, they are really the same thing, she just likes jewlery better. Matter of fact she is due for shots in the next few months and will get another charm to add to her necklace.

She was super excited to let us put this one her. Like I said Princess Goliath loves her jewelry. What I like most about this collar is that it helps keep ticks and fleas away from the scent and static is caused in the fur.

This is awesome and with Princess getting older I try to keep as many chemicals away from her as possible.

As a family we are trying less toxic products and even our pets are on the wagon. These collars or jewelry come in sizes.8"-10"  10"-12"  12"-14"  14"-16"  16"-18"18"-19.5" 19.5"-21.5" 21.5"-23.5" so these can be used for both cats or dogs.

Amber tick and flea collar can be found on Amazon.

What Baltic Amber has to say about their product.

AMBER CROWN is proud to present the highest quality handmade certified raw Baltic Amber product :
Amber Tick and Flea Collars for Dogs and Cats

This product is a chemical-free tool to protect your pet from ticks and fleas. It has helped thousands of pet owners to draw back from chemicals and keep their pets safe from ugly and sometimes deadly parasites.

It works in two ways:
• When worn on pet the friction from the fur releases aromatic terpenes from amber that repels ticks and fleas.
• Static electricity generated when amber is rubbed against the pet's fur makes parasites uncomfortable and unable to cling to hairs.

- It is waterproof, odor free, safe for humans and animals, no secondary effects on your pet, family or house. 
- 100% chemical free, non-toxic, no insecticides.
- Can be used for dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, even if they are allergic, pregnant or nursing. 

No need to worry about the size: we offer eight different sizes to fit all pets.
