Organic Black Matcha Tea Review + Giveaway #tea

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

You may not have tried Black Matcha Tea yet but you are truly missing out.  I really enjoy it in the afternoons as a pick me up and sometimes I even go for it in the morning instead of the usual ho-hum coffee. I am pretty particular though and I only buy organic black matcha tea. I recently had the opportunity to try a DNA Black Matcha Tea.

This is a Swiss certified organic black matcha tea.  They have tested for heavy metals and it is certified BPA free as well USDA organic.  It makes me feel relaxed just thinking about the quality.

You can get more familiar with the DNA organic teas brand by visiting their website and seeing what all the buzz is about. You can even watch some of our videos to see what other consumers think too.  I really like that Matcha DNA™ tea is organically grown and hand picked. I have made it hot and cold...you can even get adventurous and make tea  lattes, martinis or used in food like green tea ice cream and in other recipes.  Match DNA tea tastes great and has a very rich and pure taste both hot and cold. I saw a ton of tea recipes and drinks when I did a quick search on Pinterest.

Few people know that the current practice of drinking powdered tea in the Japanese tea ceremony is actually from the Song dynasty in China. It dates back to over 1,000 years ago. This practice was carried on in Japan and is now considered a pillar of Japanese culture. Today. once again high quality Matcha is being made in China.

The tea has a slightly different character than its Japanese counterpart. Both teas have a deep green color and thick, savory taste and texture. Both are high in EGCG and antioxidants. However, Chinese MatchaDNA™ is smoother, without the bitterness, and has rich, smooth and fresh taste unlike any other!  You can find it on Amazon so that makes it easy too.

I love riding my bike but you really have to be careful whether you live in the city or out in the 'burbs here like I do. People drive like maniacs and you just gotta be ready for anything. When I ride my bike early in the morning or in the evening I always wear reflective gear but I needed a good little bike light too.  It doesn't have to be complicated though...I recently found the EZ Grip On the Go bike light.  It comes in a pack of two also. It gives me an extra measure of safety to see and be seen. 

This EZ Grip bike light was easy to install...it literally took seconds. No tools needed. They clip right on wherever you like. One light is shines a  strong white light and the other shines a strong red light to make it easy to see where I am going and easy for drivers to see me. It is great because you can choose from different settings. You can choose from Constant, Strobe, Disco strobe or Epileptic Fit Strobe for each light. It makes me feel more confident knowing cars can't miss me. Sometimes I have gone out when it was light and just didn't expect to be out so late. I feel more confident and safe now with my little bike lights. The EZ Grip has these LED lights that have a very high light output and life span. They are even guaranteed for life.

UNi 100% Organic Pure Moroccan Argan Oil Review #arganoil

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I just really enjoy using natural skin and hair care oils. I love Argan oil but I really prefer organic Argan oil from Morocco. I was excited to hear about a new option suitable for hair, body and skin from UNi. 

UNi Argan Oil is 100% pure organic made from Moroccan Argan trees. This is a naturally light scented oil which can be used no matter what your hair type. It works naturally to protect, hydrate, and restore elasticity to your hair. One of the secrets of Argan oil is that it contains a large concentration of fatty acids and antioxidants. These special ingredients help restore the appearance of dull skin, hair, body, scalp and hands. It really reduces frizzy and damaged hair.  UNi is a multi-purpose Argan oil that is also excellent for cuticles.  It really helps prevent cracking and peeling nails. It is gentle and natural so it is great to treat all skin types as well.

This is a very fast absorbing light weight oil too. It is  is smooth, and not at all greasy.  I like the way it feels after I apply it to my hair.  UNi only uses the highest quality oils..they are cold pressed and unroasted. This is naturally rich in Vitamin E (tocopherols) and Omega 6 (linolenic acids) which are great for the skin.  One of the things I really like about this brand is that it has no strong odors. I have to assume it is because of the high quality. UNi 100% organic Argan oil has a light nutty smell and is fragrance free.  I also like that is has USDA and ECOCERT certification means high purity and authentic to me.

UNi Organic Pure Moroccan Argan Oil can be used on sensitive and non-sensitive skin to reduce age spots and boost skin tones.  It is manufactured in the Kingdom of Morocco and packaged in the USA.  UNi Argan Oil comes in a beautiful smooth dark glass bottle with easy access dropper.  UNi Argan Oil are manufactured and bottled throughout the year to ensure freshness and quality. Manufactured date is printed on every bottle with a shelf-life of 36 months.  I was really happy to hear that UNi Moroccan Argan Oil is available on Amazon. It makes it so much easier to keep up with good skin care. You can also get more information on the UNi brand on their website.

Instanatural Luxurious Argan Oil Hair Treatment and Elixir review #arganoilhairtreatment

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I have really been seeing a nice difference in how my hair looks and feels since I starting using Argan Oil.  I was excited to hear that insta natural recently launched a product that is a blend of luxurious organic argan oil, shea butter, coconut, jojoba, olive, grapeseed and sunflower oils.  This luxurious blend of oils makes a wonderful hair treatment and elixir. Argan Oil Hair Treatment & Elixir feels so good on my hair. I find that my hair gets so dry now that I am 40+. I have tried everything to keep my hair looking fresh and hydrated and this product is one of the best.

This Argan Oil Hair Treatment & Elixir  is unique and unlike others in the market.  It can be used as a leave in conditioner or as a heat & damage protectant. There are no chemicals in this formula...just plant oils, Vitamin B5 and shea butter. Besides argan oil, this unique hair treatment formula is compromised of Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil & Grapeseed Oil to name a few.

It's perfect for restoring that shine and luster that's lost over time (read:  over 30 or 40). This needs to be part of your daily/weekly hair regimen!  I worry more and more about what is in some of these beauty products that are stacked up in the aisles of all those local pharmacies. I love that there are no chemicals or preservatives in this product. It makes me feel good to use it anytime.

Insta Natural gave me some ideas on how I can use this product: 

Leave-in conditioner- Massage a few drops of Argan Oil Hair Treatment and Elixir in your wet hair and scalp after shower to hydrate your hair. This is particularly useful for people who have dry hair naturally or due to hair styling activities such as straightening and curling. Argan Oil Hair Treatment and Elixir can also be applied to hair before hair styling to reduce the damage caused to hair, especially if you’re using a hair dryer
 
Frizz remover - Do you experience frizzy and dull hair after you wash your hair? Argan Oil Hair Treatment and Elixir is an excellent frizz remover and de-tangler. Apply a few drops of Argan Oil Hair Treatment and Elixir on your hair paying more attention to the hair ends when your hair is still wet. It will make your hair soft and easy to comb. Along with this, it adds a great shine to your hair and reduces split ends.

Hair / Scalp Treatment - Give an overnight treatment to your scalp with Argan Oil Hair Treatment and Elixir, if you have dry and flaky scalp. The oil will penetrate deep to produce more efficient results. Massage a generous amount on your scalp for 15 minutes and leave overnight. Wash off the next morning with a mild shampoo. Do this twice a week to get healthy, non-itchy scalp. This treatment is beneficial for both hair and scalp at the same time.

I find my is looking so much more hydrated and youthful. I am impressed at the difference and will continue to use this. I like that I can stock up on it on Amazon so that makes it easy too. Let me know your thoughts but I am really enjoying this lovely moisturizer.
