Immortal Sleep Deep -Sleep Formula Review


Do you have trouble falling asleep? Most people do, including me. Some nights when I have trouble falling asleep I need help and I don't want to take something that is habit forming. So when I had the opportunity to try something all natural, I decided to give it a chance. I just took 3 capsules of Immortal Sleep 30 minutes before bed and I had a great nights sleep. I did not experience any side effects and woke up felling great. I am glad that there is something natural that I can take when I have trouble sleeping. 

Immortal Sleep Deep-Sleep Formula is 100% natural and formulated from the finest wild-grown Chinese herbs with no filters. This product will give you a great night's sleep without any side effects or next day drowsiness. 
This all natural sleeping pill contain zizyphus which has been used for centuries to help people fall asleep. It is well suited to those who are stressed out and experiencing symptoms like irritability, agitation, and racing thoughts. Zizyphus is used to get the body to sleep more soundly.

For deep peaceful sleep you need to relax the body and mind. To achieve this this sleeping pill combines L-theanine with  herbs. L-theanine promotes deep relaxation, stress relief and calmness. L-theanine is not a sleep aid itself but allows the body to enter a state of calm relaxation so the herbs may be more effective at getting the body into a deep state of rest.



Most people will suffer from insomnia at one time or another. Often due to stress and anxiety and the inability to “shut off the mind chatter.” Insomnia can quickly inhibit your body and mind’s ability to function at optimum levels. Sleeping pills can be helpful when all other efforts have failed. Our natural herbal sleep aid is not only effective but also safe, non-habit forming and all with no next day grogginess.

If you have trouble with sleep and want to avoid the side effects of other sleeping pills, taking Immortal Herbs’ specially developed herbal sleep formulation will help you to regain the balance needed to ensure a deep peaceful slumber. Deep quality sleep is essential for your health and well being and allows your body to restore and renew. This herbal remedy is extremely safe and will allow deep relaxation and calm.

Unlike other sleeping pills, Immortal Herbs‘ sleep blend may provide your body with benefits beyond that of a good night’s sleep. Immortal Sleep™ contains the time tested herbal remedy long ago introduced into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In TCM all of the remedies focus on bringing the body back into balance. Traditionally it was used for “replenishing the blood and Yin” and to “strengthen heart functions.” People needing this treatment exhibited symptoms such as heart palpitations, irritability, restlessness, forgetfulness, and night sweats. Today, the herbal remedy is commonly used by Chinese doctors for insomnia associated with palpitation, amnesia, and anxiety.

Ozeri 4x3runner Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer Review


I am a runner and run about 5 miles a day. I was looking for a way to track my progress so, when Ozeri asked me if I wanted to review their Ozeri 4x3runner Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer, I said "yes." The Ozeri 4x3runner Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer is a cool product that tracks a lot of things like steps, miles, time, and speed. It also has walking and jog modes which is a cool feature. When you first set up your pedometer, you put in your weight and height so you can track calories burned too. I like that this product is water resistant as I sometimes get caught in the rain while I am running. The Ozeri 4X3runner Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer is lightweight too. That is a plus to me as I don't want anything weighing me down as I run. It clips easy to anything and there is also a wrist strap, if you prefer to wear it that way. I clip this to my waist pack and it stays secure while I run.
 The pedometer comes with easy to read instructions to help set up the product and understand how to use it.  I am still getting used to using the pedometer while I run but I am amazed at how many steps I take while running. The Ozeri 4x3runner Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer  will help motivate me to workout better while I train for races. This product comes with a 100% satisfaction guaranteed and is priced very well at $28.95 at AMAZON
 To get more information about the Ozeri 4x3runner Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BCR4V0K
 So tell me what function of the Ozeri 4x3runner Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer you like best? Mine is the miles as I am trying to increase my mileage to run a 10K.

"These opinions are my own and I was sent the above mention product from Ozeri to review."

nuNAAT Garlic Magic Collection


I love nuNAAT products as they not only smell wonderful but do wonders for my hair. I was excited to try their new Garlic Magic collection as it is a natural remedy for slow to grow hair. I tend to lose a lot of hair after washing my hair as after I comb it, there is plenty of hair in my comb. I know what you are thinking, shampoo that smells like garlic? That is not the case. This shampoo and other products smell more floral but has the benefits or garlic. Here are some facts about this product:

This line works its magic at the roots, leaving hair with a fresh, clean scent and intense shine.
Formulated with garlic extract, it cleanses the scalp of impurities and strengthens hair follicles
to promote growth, health and a beautiful shine. It prevents dandruff, excessive oiliness and
hair loss.
Benefits
 • Restores hair to a strong, healthy and natural state
 • Formulated with garlic extract
 • Fresh, clean scent (no garlic smell)
 • Fights dandruff, excessive oiliness and hair loss
 • Suitable for all hair types. Ideal for slow-to-grow and fragile hair.
NAAT Treament Presentations:
Retail Size: 500ml/ 16.8 fl oz | 300ml/ 10.5 fl oz | 500ml/17.6 fl oz
NAAT Garlic Magic Collection Includes:
 • 500ml/ 16.8 fl oz Shampoo
 • 500ml/ 16.8 fl oz Conditioner
 • 300ml/ 10.5 fl oz Styling Leave-in
 • 500ml/17.6 fl oz Intense Hydration Hair Mask


This is how my hair looked before I started using nuNAAT Garlic Magic Collection. I used the products for two weeks. I used the shampoo, conditioner, and styling leave-in every time I shampooed. The Intense Hydration Hair Mask I used every other time I shampooed. The results were amazing! I noticed less hair in my comb after washing and my straight hair developed a nice wave to it. I think my before dry hair needed the moisture to get that nice wave. My hair is also ready for a hair cut. I am amazed at how my hair is fuller. My friends thought I got a perm. They are shocked when I tell them this is my natural hair. Please don't expect this product to give you curly hair if you have never had curly hair. My hair use to be curly but when I moved to the desert, I lost that curl.

Coupon Policies For Stores- Great Info


Many of my friends know that I love to save money and using coupons is one way I do. I try to follow the rules when using coupons and it frustrates me when stores don't make up their own rules or don't even know their policies.
So I made a list of websites where you can see and print the coupon policy for different stores. Print a copy of each policy and carry it with you so when you run into problems you can show it to the cashier. These are the only stores that I know that have a coupon policy. If you have any other links please add them in the comment section and I will update this list.

ORGANIC MATCHA - GREEN TEA POWDER THE ANCIENT SECRET TO BEAUTY, HEALTH AND LONGEVITY By KissMe Organics Review



I had a great opportunity to try and review a green tea powder. I have heard green tea powder is wonderful to give you energy and boost your metabolism. I was sent a package of Organic Matcha green tea powder made by KissMe Organics. I was skeptic at trying something that made my food green but I gave it a try because of all the wonderful health benefits like All Day Energy, Metabolism Boost, Increase Focus, Improve Skin Health, and 137X Antioxidants of Brewed Green Tea.

 I eat yogurt every day, so I put the recommended daily dose of 1/2 teaspoon into my plain yogurt with a little bit of sugar. I was surprised that it had a pleasant taste. I could taste the green tea but it was a good taste. I love that I found a product that will give me the great benefits of green tea and tastes good too.



Here are some of the product's facts:

ALL DAY ENERGY WITH INCREASED FOCUS

Matcha provides 4 to 6 hours of mild steady energy as it acts as both a stimulant and a relaxant. This is ideal for focusing on whatever the day throws your way.

METABOLISM BOOST

Consuming matcha green tea can increase thermogenesis (the body's own rate of burning calories) from a normal 8%-10% of daily energy expenditure, to between 35% and 43% of daily energy expediture.

IMPROVED SKIN HEALTH

​Scientists have discovered that Matcha Green Tea helps protect the skin from harmful UVrays, while improving blood flow and oxygen levels lifting the overall quality of the skin.

137x THE ANTIOXIDANTS OF BREWED GREEN TEA

Antioxidants are essential as you age to boost your body's natural defenses against oxidation. Researchers have found that a high level of dietary antioxidants can prevent many age-related diseases.

Organic Matcha- Green Tea Powder By KissMe Organics can be used in many ways from smoothies to even baking. Here is a LINK to some wonderful recipes. To purchase this wonderful product go here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DDT116M

My Curtains I Made Using Valances


I have been busy replacing all my mini blinds with curtains. I did not find anything in the stores that I liked for my bathroom, so when I took these valances from my bedroom down to put up the new curtains, I decided to try them as curtains in the kid's bathroom. I bought two spring tension curtain rods and hung them up one over another. I liked that I did not have to do any sewing and I saved money!
