Clear Window Bird Feeder from Yellow Beaks Review #yellowbeaks

What do 51.3 million Americans have in common? The answer is, they've listed bird watching as their favorite hobby. I am included and so is my husband. My sister and brother in law also love bird watching. Even my tween loves watching the birds.

You can imagine how excited I was when I had the opportunity to review a beautiful, clear window bird feeder from Yellow Beaks.  This clear Window Bird Feeder lets you see all kinds of wild birds, right from the comfort of your own home, office, or even a nursing facility. I remember my Grandma used to love going out into the atrium at her nursing facility years ago...there was nothing like the Yellow Beaks clear window bird feeder back then but she loved watching the wild birds outside. It would have been wonderful for her to be able to see them right from her room too. 

This was so easy to attach to our sliding glass door windows. I had it secured in seconds. I picked up some bird seed at our local Home Depot and it was ready to go. The birds found it very quickly. I was amazed at how the birds come right to our window.  It is so cool to observe their beautiful unique markings.  They are so close you can even study their behavior and feeding habits.  We keep our bird bird right by the feeder so we can look up information on the specific birds.
 

Benefits of the Yellow Beaks Window Bird Feeder:
  

• Mounts to any window surface securely --has 3 strong suction cups effective during all weather conditions

• Seamless design that requires no assembly

• Crystal clear design

• Watch the birds peck away from different angles, without any obstruction

• Keyhole design requires no removal of suction cups for cleaning

• Squirrel-proof -Mount the feeder higher, away from trees, branches, and fences. The slanted top design prevents squirrel from easy landing on the roof.

• Comes with perch that birds love - Perch keeps the birds staying around longer, which means more time for you to study their markings.

• Great entertainment for your cat - Cats love to sit and stare at birds, like their own personal Nature's Channel.

 
Dimensions: 9.6 x 5.9 x 6.6 inches
Weight: 1 pound
Accessories: 3 suction cups



I found this adorable Yellow Beaks Window Bird Feeder on Amazon too. It ships quickly and is wrapped securely.

MY Konjac Sponge - All Natural Facial Konjac Sponge with Activated Bamboo Charcoal Review #konjacsponge

Whatever your age, it is always a smart to take good care of your skin. More people like me want to do that naturally. Can you really have gorgeous skin and remain eco-friendly?  I recently had the opportunity to try something new that truly gently cleans the skin and leaves it refreshed. This special something is the MY Konjac Sponge.  Konjac is actually a moisture rich, naturally akaline plant fiber from eastern Asia. I love the idea of using the bounty of the land to keep my skin beautiful with a plant sponge cleanser.  MY Konjac Sponge is the perfect cleansing tool to balance the natural acidity of the skin's impurities and oils. I found it to be an easy and simple way to get my skin super clean and refreshed after a long day or work and a workout.

MY Konjac Sponge is the highest quality konjac sponge in the market. Their whole line of products are proudly carried by Whole Foods Market and other major online retailers. I love Whole Foods but I often shop online too...Amazon is one of my fave spots.  I love that MY Konjac Sponge are made exclusively with the konjac fiber, a pure vegetable fiber taken from the root of the Amorphophallus Konjac plant. I didn't realize that the Konjac plant, also known as konnyaku potato or elephant yam, is a plant that is native to eastern Asia.  The amazing part about this plant is that Konjac root is rich in minerals, vitamins, and it has been traditionally used as a beauty treatment for a long time in eastern Asia. 

The company shared with me that MY Konjac Sponge is made to the very highest of standards. They use only the purest volcanic rock filtered water and food grade konjac. All of their products are hypoallergenic and fragrance free.  That is important to me as well since I don't want to have any irritation or rash issues.  All of their products are never tested on animals either.  They actually carry the Vegan Society logo as well as Leaping Bunny logo.  Those are the highest standard of cruelty-free status in the cosmetics industry. It makes me feel good to use something that is crafted with such high standards.

I love that the MY Konjac Sponge is soft and gentle. My skin can be fussy and sometimes sensitive but MY Konjac Sponge was really gentle. It is effective and gently cleans all skin types! I have been using MY Konjac Sponge all week now. It gently exfoliates my facial skin as it deeply cleanses. I feel like it does an amazing job of getting out those toxins. My skin actually glows after using it. It is soft and gentle though and I haven't experienced any kind of irritation. My skin just feels extremely clean and refreshed. MY Konjac Sponge contains bamboo charcoal which brings carbon and essential minerals to the skin. This helps to more deeply cleanse and absorb oils and chemicals. I notice my pores look tighter too.  

You can find MY Konjac Sponge right on Amazon for convenient purchasing anytime.

Matcha De Mark Green Tea Powder Review #matchademark

I love green tea of all kinds.  I guess I just really enjoy the variety of flavors plus the energy boost.  I recently had the opportunity to try Matcha De Mark culinary grade Matcha Green Tea Powder.  Have you tried matcha green tea before? It is a wonderful option to use as a base for  Lattes, Smoothies and even for baking unique desserts. Matcha started to become very popular after that famous nationally known coffee franchise Star-you-know-bucks added matcha to their Matcha Lattes. Yummy yummy but theirs costs so much! You can make it just as fresh and delicious for a lot less yourself with Matcha De Mark culinary grade Matcha Green Tea Powder.

You can use Matcha in tons of ways from cooking and baking to special drinks. Matcha can actually increase the metabolism which can help you to burn calories and fat naturally.Matcha De Mark culinary grade Matcha Green Tea Powder is shipped from a USDA certified 100% organic supplier in China.  I like that the company even shared that they have all the documents showing USDA organic certification.  I love the way the matcha tastes but it makes me feel good to know it is totally organic too!   The supplier is so devoted to teaching the health benefits that they even hosts symposiums from time to time on organic farming methods for international visitors.

Matcha De Mark culinary grade Matcha Green Tea Powder has chosen their supplier for additional reasons as well.  Their supplier has also won numerous awards for taste in China. I was even more excited because when I got my Matcha De Mark culinary grade Matcha Green Tea Powder it came with a complimentary 100 recipe eBook broken into 2 sections. 50 weight loss or low calorie recipes and 50 rich decadent recipes for those special meals, desserts or drinks. They even have a private Matcha Recipe club, that is free to join.  Members submit their best new Matcha recipe and one member each month wins a free 5oz supply of Matcha De Mark Green Tea Powder. The recipe will then be shared with all members.

Matcha has tons of health benefits too. Matcha can now be found in numerous health food products ranging from cereal to energy bars. In 2003, researchers from the University of Colorado found that the concentration of the antioxidant EGCG available from drinking matcha is at least three times greater than the amount of EGCG available from other commercially available green teas.  It has been postulated that the health benefits of matcha green tea is due to the fact that matcha is made from the whole tea leaf.   In other words, matcha delivers a much higher potency of catechins, chlorophyll, and antioxidants.

Matcha has so many benefits.  By weight matcha contains several dozen times more antioxidants (> 1000 mmol/100g more than blueberries (~9 mmol/100g),  wolfberries,  pomegranates,  orange juice, spinach (~1 mmol/100g) or dark chocolate (~11 mmol/100g). Data from clinical trials suggest that theanine, when consumed by drinking Japanese green teas, may help to reduce or moderate mental stress responses. Lordy knows I need stress relief so I have been drinking my Matcha De Mark Almond Latte several times a week.  Sometimes I alternate it with the recipe below. I have noticed I am not as stressed as usual.  Perhaps it is the matcha!

A study by Kao et al (2000), reported the following: “We found that EGCG (found in Matcha Green Tea)…significantly reduced food intake and body weight.” This highlights how Matcha Green Tea works to suppress your appetite through regulating hormones such as Leptin which tell your brain that you are satisfied and full.  Furthermore, a recent publication by the American Society of Clinical Nutrition found that frequent consumption of quality Matcha Green Tea enhances the efficiency of the human body in utilizing energy. The research showed that the daily energy expenditure rate of adults increases 35-45% with regular consumption of Matcha Green Tea.

Do you need some new recipe ideas for Matcha Green Tea? Take a peek at all the yummy recipes that Matcha De Mark has created just for you. I tried a few and they were all delicious. Here is one that I added my own little spin to it.  I always have to be a little bit different!

Total Relief Shampoo and Conditioner Review #totalrelief

My skin can get so dry sometimes no matter what the season. I spend so much time applying creams and oils to help combat that dry skin but what do you do when your scalp gets dry and itchy.  There are so many products out there when you go to the drug store but they seem to all be the same. I recently had the opportunity to try out a Total Relief Shampoo and conditioner. 

This is a novel, OTC shampoo and conditioner with a new kind of ingredient.  Total Relief Shampoo and Conditioner is the FIRST ever over the counter dandruff system to blend effective and gentle cleansers with hydrocortisone. Hydrocortisone has been well recognized for its anti-itch properties for years. Dr. Marder designed this luxurious but effective shampoo and conditioner to help people relieve their itchy scalp.  In addition to relieving  itch, Total Relief products are sulfate free, paraben-free, and safe for all hair types.

Dr. Marder crafted a simple, 2 step system that is proven to relieve itching, flaking, and dandruff after the first use. Total Relief was created by Dr. Marder, a leading Dermatologist based in Florida. Dr. Marder was determined to help people stop itching and suffering. He wanted to create a product that could start patients healing right away so he designed the luxurious and effective Total Relief shampoo and conditioner duo. In addition to controlling dandruff, the shampoo helps promote hair growth and adds volume. The conditioner smells wonderful, adds shine and body.  My whole family has been using it this week.  We had spent last week at the beach and though we are diligent with sunscreen I think the sun and surf really dry out the scalp.  We all noticed it. After using Dr. Marder's Total Relief Shampoo and Conditioner duo all of us felt like our scalps were moisturized and relieved of that persistent dryness.  Thank goodness because the last thing I wanted was to go back to work with a itchy, dry scalp.

You can find Dr. Marder's Total Relief products right on Amazon too so it is super easy to buy them.

Trim Nutrition POWERCELL Review + Giveaway #trimnutritionpowercellrocks

Always check with your physician before starting any supplement product and specifically Trim PowerCell. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or mitigate any disease. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition.  Keep out of reach of children.

**Warning: Do not use this product if pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of allergies without first consulting your doctor or other health care provider. Keep out of the reach of children.

Do you ever notice that your nails break alot? Is your hair dry? Perhaps your skin seems to be sensitive with increasing fine wrinkles? Ugh. These are just a few signs that you may benefit from the doctor formulated, anti-aging supplement called Trim PowerCell. I was recently able to try it out for myself because I have a lot of these same issues so don't feel so awful. Really, and I work out hard and eat very healthfully and have for many years.  I don't feel bad about trying new things to help myself so you should not either. Trim® recently added the PowerCell maximum anti-aging protection to its powerful product line because they recognized that many of us need help in this area.

The simple way to look at it is you have the body’s daily battle:  damage versus repair.  If damage is winning, the body will start to express signs seen easily though the skin, nails, hair. Unchecked, these issues can eventually lead to disease.  PowerCell contain a potent collection of plant extracts called carotenoids along with a host of many other powerful antioxidants. Carotenoids are antioxidants found in abundance in certain fruits and vegetables. Because a majority of the population does not come close to consuming 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day, this product is essential to maintain optimal antioxidant function. Data has shown that carotenoid levels in tissue offer a very strong indication of the over-all antioxidant function. Skin is a great way to test antioxidant levels, most particularly caratenoids, because there is less fluctuation as when testing blood and saliva.  The way to win the battle is to arm yourself with the highest amount of antioxidants to combat damage done by external forces that increase the number of free radicals, molecules that disrupt and inflame the body’s systems at a cellular level. Powercell is a smart and simple way to help your body help itself.

Powercell is a combination of powerful carotenoids, vitamins, mineral antioxidants as well as other antioxidants including; Resveratrol, Co-Q 10, Quercetin, Alpha lipoic acid, Turmeric, and Green Tea, that help keep the body winning the battle against free radical damage.  PowerCell can help your nails grow stronger, faster, and reduce weak hair strands and hair loss. 

My thoughts:  I have tried Trim Powercell for several weeks now. I didn't use it every single day but on the days that I used it I noticed that I felt more energetic.  It mixed up very easily and tasted great too.  I will continue to use it because I need to do everything I can to remain strong and keep up my energy levels. I want to look as good as I feel for a long time to come.

You can buy it easily Trim Nutrition Powercell online and start your healthier lifestyle now and save yourself time.

Train: BULLETPROOF PICASSO Album Review plus scoop on LIVE 1-hour QVCPerformance #Bulletproof Picasso #O2O

One of my old fave bands is back in the game this fall and concerts are in store for all of us as well. I love Train...a really great band and I was excited to hear that they have a new album out called Bulletproof Picasso. It is available for pre-order on iTunes and Amazon too. I can't believe this is their 7th album!  I can remember each time they won Grammy awards over the years too...three different times.  Did you know that Train has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide and 30 million tracks worldwide?  Not to mention (okay, so I will!) platinum/gold citations on their mantle, those 3 Grammy Awards, 2 Billboard Music Awards and dozens of other honors and nominations. You have to hear the album’s first single, “Angel In Blue Jeans” and you will remember how amazing they are and why they have won so many awards. I wasn't surprised to hear that their first single from the album has hit the Top 15 of Triple A and Adult Top 40 radio in only a month.  They have had so many great songs and albums over the years that just catch on quickly with fans...for a reason.

I can't believe they have been around 20+ years already.  You have to hear the video for the new song. It premiered on VEVO on July 15th with Danny Trejo, who starred in the Robert Rodriguez-helmed ‘Mariachi-style’ sagas Machete and Dusk Til Dawn, among others. You know Hannah Simone from the hit TV show ‘New Girl?’ She is also featured in the clip.

Bulletproof Picasso was produced by previous Train collaborator Butch Walker. The lead singer Pat Monahan really sums up why the band continues to deliver amazing music and connects with people like me.  Pat recently said, “I’ve always wanted to emotionally connect with people through the songs, but I also want to get into people’s lives with this album. We’re very excited about Bulletproof Picasso and we’re looking forward to performing some of the new songs for all our fans.”  Aww, Pat is so sweet.

Train will be showcasing some of their new tracks in celebration of the album’s upcoming release in September with shows in Los Angeles, New York, and their hometown of San Francisco. Even better, several summer festival and one-off dates have also been unveiled so keep reading!  A few that are definite are Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, CO, Sturgis Buffalo Chip Bike Rally in Sturgis, SD and V Festival in the UK.  They are just all over to share with their fans around the world.

There are so many amazing songs on this new album including the title track, “Bulletproof Picasso,” “Cadillac, Cadillac,” “Just A Memory,” “Give It All,” and “The Bridge” and more. See the whole listing below!  Just a Memory is my current fave after listening to the whole album...I was lucky enough to get a copy so I could listen early. I think this one is going to be a home run....I have been hearing a lot about Train on the radio so I think everyone is excited about it.

Train has a real gift for delivering memorable songs that really stick in your mind.  Their most recent album, 2012’s California 37 spawned the hit “Drive By,” among other songs, a multi-platinum single that reached the Top Ten in 13 countries, adding to the prolific Train set-list which already includes multiple signature smashes such as their Grammy winning classic “Drops Of Jupiter (Tell Me),” the chart-topping “Meet Virginia,” and “Calling All Angels.” The band grabbed another Grammy in 2011 for their global smash “Hey Soul Sister,” (the #1 hit and biggest selling single of 2010) from their 2009 multi-platinum album, Save Me, San Francisco.

Train Band Members:

Pat Monahan (vocals)

 Disclosure: I received your free Healthy Choice® Greek Frozen Yogurt product from Smiley360. 

I was interested to try a new frozen yogurt product that recently came out from Healthy Choice. Healthy Choice® Greek Frozen Yogurt is a totally new idea that is a special treat that you can enjoy anytime free from guilt. Why?

It’s a perfectly cool treat on its own or in simple recipes.  Think about all the possibilities...you can use it to create your own Greek Ice Cream Bars on sticks like we did or you can set up a fun sundae bar at your house.  Think about how much fun that could be out back or on the deck...perhaps by the pool?

Everyone just loved Healthy Choice® Greek Frozen Yogurt from the tiny tots to the big kids and adults.

Listerine Naturals Mouthwash #NeedTheNatural #ListerineNaturals @Crowdtap

Disclosure: I was recently chosen to sample new Listerine Naturals Mouthwash Herbal Mint product through Crowdtap. I received a complimentary sample in exchange for my honest opinion.  

I am a clean, healthy white teeth kind of girl.  I brush with my Sonicare, floss and use mouthwash every day at least twice.  Did you know that when you brush your teeth it misses up to 75% of your mouth? That is a fact...brushing alone is not enough.  You need more.

I was excited to try this new Listerine Naturals mouthwash and see how it worked. I have to say, you can feel the difference with Listerine Naturals Mouthwash..it cleans your whole mouth leaving you with fresh breath...naturally.  It tastes good and your mouth feels clean. Forget those endless mints and gum...that is just covering up the problem.  Listerine Naturals Antiseptic Mouthwash kills those icky bacteria that brushing alone misses!

I've tried a variety of mouthwashes over the years including traditional Listerine and this is one of the best options I have seen on the shelf in a long time.  It is refreshing to boot and I love the fact that they removed some if the unnatural stuff in there. I like that it is clear too...who needs dyes in their mouthwash? Not me.

Listerine Naturals is a nice improvement in that the company made some important changes that are a big step forward. Yes, it still contains alcohol, but the alcohol they use is derived from corn. It’s a naturally derived ingredient. They have removed the artificial flavors, sweeteners and ta-da....all the dyes.  Listerine Naturals is crystal clear and tastes fresh.  

I noticed a common preservative in Listerine Naturals that I don't love but I can live with: sodium benzoate. It is the last ingredient on the list so obviously the smallest ingredient of all in the mouthwash.  I would love if they could remove it totally. 

The active ingredients In Listerine Naturals Mouthwash are Eucalyptol, Menthol, Methyl Salicylate and Thymol. Stevia is the natural sweetener too.  Some nice improvements that I love. The best part is that it tastes great...very refreshing. It leaves your mouth feeling clean for a long time too. Let me know what you think.
