Savvy Sampler R.W. Knudsen all-natural Lemon Lime Spritzer Review



Naturally Savvy had so many complimentary goodies included in my box...one of them that I was particularly excited to see was from R. W. Knudsen.  They included a sample bottle of their Lemon Lime SpritzerLemon-lime is one of my favorite flavors too This is a refreshing, sparkling beverage that is all natural with no sugar added. There aren't any artificial sweeteners added either. How refreshing---really!! It is also gluten free.

I have to say the spritzer went down easy and it was really refreshing.  I liked that it also contained 60% juice.  I would look for these the next time I went shopping.  Nice to have for  little refreshing treat sometimes.  I can also see using these as a base for summertime cocktails. Sometimes Glamamama just need a little fancy cocktail on the weekends to relax a little after a hectic week.

Savvy Sampler Oscillococcinum Flu Remedy Review and COUPON!



I was pleased to see a box of Oscillococcinum included in the box of goodies from Naturally Savvy.  It is always good to have an extra box on hand.  I have been using Boiron Oscillococcinum since I was in college and living in Italy. It really helped me through one bad fall episode of flu when I lived abroad. It was my first introduction to homeopathy and it really was a positive one! 

I have used Oscillo so many times for myself and for my family to help us get through the flu. It really seems to help reduce the severity and get us back on our feet sooner!  I keep a little "Flu Emergency Kit" in my home including tissues, Tylenol, Advil (kids and adults), a thermometer and Oscillo so we are prepared for any event.  Let me know if you have any other ideas to add to my emergency kit.  We have been lucky so far this year but so many people have been hit you can be sure I have Oscillococcinum ready in my medicine cabinet just in case.  I have my fingers crossed but as a mom, you always need to be prepared. 

Oscillococcinum is a trusted remedy for helping to reduce the severity and duration of flu like symptoms including body aches, headache, fever, chills and fatigue.  It is non-drowsy, no side-effects, no drug interactions and it works naturally with your own body.  There are formulations for adults and children alike.  Boiron has been a world leader in homeopathic medicines for years now so you can trust them too.

Oscillococcinum is indicated for adults and children 2 years of age and older. Always consult with your doctor as well.  There is even an offer right now for a $1.00 off coupon on your next purchase so hurry on over and stock up on your Oscillo.

Savvy Sampler RE-BODY Hunger Chews Review


I was kind of fascinated by the RE-BODY Hunger Chews that I received complimentary from Naturally Savvy.  I eat very healthfully and exercise at least 4 times a week but even I, Glamamama, get those unearthly cravings from time to time. Unfortunately, this time of year is rife for those G-dforsaken, never ending tiny little sporadic desires to nibble like a mouse here and there. Maybe this can help me. RE*BODY is an appetite control product that the manufacturer says can help:
  • Control hunger and overeating*
  • Curb sugar and snack cravings*
  • Help inhibit emotional eating impulses*
  • The active ingredient Satiereal Saffron Extract 88.5mg
  • No fat
  • 20 Kcals per serving
  • Mandarin Orange  flavor chews
The manufacturer suggests taking one chew twice daily before meals. They do also suggest you combine REBODY with a healthy diet and moderate exercise so I am hopeful.  I do all this.  I tried several chews and they tasted great.  I haven't had any of those tiny little desires for a nibble so I am hoping this will keep up.  I will let you all know.

Late December update: i am just getting around to my December magazines and i read a fascinating article in the December 2012 issue of Shape Magazine. on page 108 they did a nice profile on the founder of Re-Body, Naomi Whittel. you should definitely read it. it adds a lot if credence to this product and makes me more confident in the long term efficacy!
