I am addicted, I am not even gonna lie. It started out with a few sample packs from a friend and then before I knew it I had two boxes, one for work and one for home. First thing I noticed, I wasnt yawning - and I was mentally sharp at 8AM or Noon. I felt 'smarter' - seriously, stop laughing. I felt more organized mentally, not so jumbled - I believe smart folks call that FOCUSED. I was not familiar, until now.
I also noticed that at first I needed 2 a day, one in the morning and one at 3pm when my brain went to sleep but my body kept acting like I was working - now, I drink one around 2pm and I am all set. My performance at work is what I notice the most. I always have had a lot of energy, and always stay busy, don't sit down much, don't watch TV, always ready to "GET ON WITH IT" - however, I have been so scatter brained the last few months, just life has gotten sketchy and it has been hard to sort it all out. I feel more focused, more direct and healthier.
Upside for some is a downside for me: It makes me less hungry. I am a bit scrawny so I cant skip too many meals, I eat before I drink it - that helps me. For those who are looking to eat less and feel better, sustain energy and retain mental focus - this is the drink you are looking for.
I hate fruit juice so I opted for the "Orange" flavor, it taste like tang with a hit of Fred Flinstone. I add the pack to a bottle of water, shake it good and get it down - not terrible by any means. Doable, for sure.
$22-25 per box, I hear it is cheaper to do the tub, however the readily available packets fit my lifestyle right now. I am not a distributor and this is the only product I have tried from the Advocare line, and quite frankly: I am SOLD.
In love and excellent taste,

I am a Product Ho for lack of a better term. I hate to shop, but love to buy good products. If I like it, I tell it - If not, the same applies. If I can get it cheaper somewhere else, done. Enjoy. In love and excellent taste, DforDiva

Crest Professional 3D Whitestrips
First thing I notice about others? Their teeth, not so much their smile. I know I have a HUGE one, and people know me because of it - if you are struggling with teeth whiteners and don't know where to start - here's some info.
I love these, they are the most expensive in the Crest line of whitestrips, but well worth the extra. The others take twice and many applications to do half as much whitening. My suggestion is (if you haven't been whitening already) buy a box and use one set every day until gone, you will see results in 3 days and in 7 days your teeth are gleeming white, but keep going until the box is gone.
In month or however long it takes for the coffee, tea and wine to show up on the surface of your teeth, apply them again, you should reach your maximum whiteness in 3 days. I do it for 3 and then shelve the product for a week or two then hit it again. So each box last me about 2.5 months (after the first treatment)
You can use the cheaper ones, but the results take SOOOOOO much longer and if you are like me you will find yourself getting frustrated at that lack of results.
The professional strength hold better too, a little secret is I wear them on my ride to work - about 30 minutes and I drink coffee the whole ride in, yup I am a rebel like that. They hold so well, the coffee doesn't slide in between the strips and my teeth. The gum irritation is minimal after the first month, and even that was a minor discomfort that Tylenol relieved. Now during my 3 day 're-touch' I have no pain. I suspect you wont either.
Skip the expensive dental treatments unless you have irreparable damage, if it is just deep surface stains - you should be in good shape after a month of Crest 3D Professional (must be the PRO) Whitestrips. You will find them anywhere from $55-59

SHAKE WEIGHT = not for the shy!
I use my SHAKE WEIGHT (in private) about 3 times a week, for 10 minutes, more if I feel like it. I use it for about 15 minutes before I go out at night in a sleeveless shirt - gives me arm pump and looks amazing. I bought mine for $20, I have found them marked down recently for about $15. The idea behind this is to build it up and then keep it up. When I purchased it I used it everyday for a month, then every other day and now a few times a week. I love it. I dont have time for much more. I put on my IPOD listen to about 3 songs and call it quits, show me a work out that is this successful in less time??
If you're not using your SHAKE WEIGHT - pull it out of the closet it and get to it.

MATRIX Biolage Rejuvatherapie Hair Care
Anti Aging Hair Care - Over 40? Yep! You need it!
I love this hair care line, I had been using Paul Mitchell and of course the Marracon Oil line (I still love). I am getting older and my hair was looking dry, lifeless and less healthy - it didn't seem to matter what I was putting on it. I really noticed when I looked at 'younger hair' *sigh*.
Anyway, I bought the shampoo/conditioner and saw a difference after one treatment. I have dark hair so the shine came back immediately, blondes might not see it quite that soon. I love it. I got mine at BURKES outlet for $9 each, that is about $4 cheaper than I saw it elsewhere.

Hydroxatone. We have all heard the commercials on the ride to work.
Okay Ladies, I am not even gonna sugar coat this. These products WORK. I have been using them for almost 5 months and I can tell. My skin is clearer, less discoloration (sun spots), firmer (my neck alone shows huge improvement), it's brighter and I love love love them. HATE THE PRICE!!!!
Okay, I use the AM/PM in the morning. I am too lazy to wash my face at night, if I used these products AM and PM the results would be TWICE as good - why cant I remind myself that as I lay my whooped body down for bed at night? I don't know either.
I use the Declatone on my neck and I can really see a difference, I had the spot right below my chin that was drooping and my neck was looking sun damaged and wrinkled. I didnt actually notice, but I have a pic I can show you and THAT told me all I needed to know (pic #1). Now, toner, prettier and no sagging (pic #2).
Instant Effect - I didnt start using it until a few weeks ago and now I cant live without it. The results last 8 hours, if I need more time, I keep one in my purse for additional applications. I know what the instructions say - but I do it like this: Add 2 squirts to my moisturizer, go lay on the bed, head down, keep my face perfectly still for 2 minutes, get up and NOTICEABLY tighter, firmer and younger looking skin. If your skin looks like paper when you get up, you used too much - cut back next time, and this time add more moisturizer or if it is the eye area, more eye cream.
The price = OUCH! I ordered mine from the site for the first few months but it came to the tune of $180.00 per month. Found it on EBAY for 1/2 the cost and twice the product. Now I just order from EBAY - just as happy, easy and no monthly account and no auto ship/auto bill hubbub.
If you're struggling with a sound product and shun this product due to the price...."I hear ya" - order it from EBAY and trust me, you will thank me later.

Purex Crystal Fabric Softener

For those of you that know me, know that I am a laundry Nazi (for lack of a better term, again). I am so picky about my laundry, it is best nobody try to help me out - "I pity da fool". I have pre-treatments, Tide w/ bleach, w/out bleach, straight bleach, pre-wash, etc. I separate my laundry into too many piles. Towels never get washed with anything else, sheets are loners...dont dry my bras or bikini's....you get the picture.
I drive myself and those who live with me silly over the laundry, but in my defense I have clothes from 10 years ago that look brand new. My oldest son got married and I gave him 1000 ct sheets I had for 10 years as a warming gift, they were his favorite and they were hand embroidered, etc. He had no idea, nor did his wife that they were practically heirlooms - due to my fanatical laundry ability. They were bright white, crisp as a spring day and soft as a baby's boom boom. They raved about them.....you know me, I told them how to launder them to keep them 'Just So'.
In my laundry craziness I sometimes come across a product I love and that makes my laundry insanity easier for me to feed. This product is just that. Purex crystals. Throw them over the laundry, shut the lid and walk away. When you open the washer to transfer to the dryer, take it in.....ahhhh FRESHNESS. And 2 weeks later when you pull that towel out of the closet, or those sheets out, or those jeans - there it is again, FRESHNESS.
Much cheaper than it's Downey counterpart. No need to chase the rinse cycle, clean the goop out of the softener tray, etc. I love this product. I have cut the initial amount per load down, I was using too much at first - a full cap is too much unless it's for a large load of towels.
To my fellow laundry crazies....enjoy! Scratch here to smell the FRESHNESS! Just kidding. LOL. I kill me, ha ha ha.

Any of my friends and family following my FACEBOOK have heard me ramble on about these scents. If you haven't purchased a sample after my continued weekly prodding, you must. I have Eau Fling (seductive, he wont know what hit him and hopefully you too ladies), Eau Flirt (so summery and sexy, fruity and sultry), Ageless (a must have for any of us over 40, as soon as I smelled it - I added 10 women to my Christmas lists - they ALL must wear this) and today, I am wearing Coupling (so fresh, the cucumber bottom notes are the hit to this wonderment).
Men, looking for a gift for your special woman. Order her the Mini-Mini's for $12 each she can choose her favorite. My suggestion: Stick with any of the above mentioned.
Ladies: "Just do it.....thank me later"
In love and excellent taste,
