The Benefits of Superior Source MicroLingual Vitamins for Good Health Plus a Giveaway

 Disclosure:  I received the product mentioned below complimentary for the purpose of this review.  The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product. Always check with your physician before starting any supplement product and specifically Superior Source MicroLingual supplements. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent 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.



I am a big proponent of vitamins.  Even when you eat a super healthy diet it is a challenge to get all the proper nutrients in there on a regular basis.  Vitamin supplementation helps you make sure you are getting all the necessary nutrients to your muscles, bones and cells on a regular basis.  Some vitamins might be better than others for various reasons. Consider this: Superior Source Vitamins are MicroLingual.  This is a big ole word but what it means is that they go under the tongue and are absorbed super fast. Because they are absorbed quickly you don't have to deal with swallowing any big pills. That is something different, right? 

I never realized that when you swallow supplements, up to 50% of the potency is lost in the high acid environment of the stomach. You can totally avoid that issue with Superior Source Vitamins.  Superior Source is offering a few excellent deals to start your journey to health right now too.  They are providing me with an opportunity for one of my readers to win a  LIVE HEALTHIER" Family 6-Pack ($86 Value) plus everyone wins with a very discounted product deal below!

A little about Superior Source lettered vitamins and supplements:

B-12 1000 mcg: This 60-tablet bottle is brand new and is a combination of activated B-12, activated Folate and B-6, which are three critical B vitamins required for control of elevated homocystein levels.
Why control homocystein levels? High levels of homocystein have been linked to cardiovascular disease.  No sugar added in this vitamin either.

Just Women - Iron : Superior Source provides optimal levels of iron in our Instant Dissolve MicroLingual Tablets for efficient nutrient delivery. Ferrous fumarate helps restore iron levels in the body when levels are low. The ferrous fumarate salt may help reduce the chances of getting gastro-intestinal problems which are sometimes associated with other iron salts.

Vitamin D 1000 IU: Vitamin D works in conjunction with calcium to promote the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Superior Source Vitamin D products are D3, the finest source of Vitamin D available.

Vitamin C Sour Cherry Melts: Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that cannot be produced by the body, therefore it must be replenished daily. Vitamin C also provides support to the body's immune system, very helpful in a season where people catch colds and flu. No sugar is added, these products are only sweetened by stevia; this is preferable to most 'chewable' vitamin C products that are typically loaded with lots of sugar.

Children's B Complex with Vitamin C: Children's B-Complex with folic acid, calcium pantothenate and biotin is formulated to provide the nutrients that support optimal health for the production and maintenance of new cells and supports nervous system health, energy metabolism, and healthy heart function.

Biotin 5000 mcg: Helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, promotes nail and hair strength and supports cell growth, metabolism of fats, amino acids and the production of fatty acids. Sugar FREE!

Making Hamentaschen for Purim: Holiday Baking with the Kids

We thought it would be fun to make Hamentaschen for Purim this year. We have baked them before but I think we skipped a year last year. I had so much going on with my family it was a crazy time.  Thank goodness everything is wonderful this year and I pray it continues that way.  My daughter received a great kid's cookbook a few years ago that we have We used a recipe from the Children's Jewish Holiday Kitchen by Joan Nathan. It has some great recipes that are fun for kids and adults alike.  We have made this recipe before and it is easily adaptable with your filling of choice.
She is getting so big she mostly did everything herself.  I love it...just a bit of help from mom here and there. Sifting ala Julia Child....err, I mean Joan Nathan below!
She had everything creamed, mixed and blended and we have our dough in 2 cylinders ready to be chilled. 
Next step is cutting, rolling and filling them.  Then shaping them into triangles mimicking the shape of evil Hamen's hat. A perfect treat for the Purim holiday.
Yummy and all baked up below.  I think she did an amazing job. Lots of fun too.

Beauty Box 5 Spring Cleaning March 2014 Unboxing Event @beautybox5

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample of the product for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.
Have you heard of Beauty Box 5 yet? Beauty Box 5 is a subscription beauty box sampler that is delivered to your doorstep (or mailbox) filled with a combination of 5 brand new cosmetic samples monthly, quarterly or annually. It is a very reasonable $12 a month. It is a great new way for anyone from teens to moms to sample new cosmetic products and see what works for you. They include tips and tricks for the products on the back of this little card below to help you get the most out of your beauty samples each month.
Beauty Box 5 shared with me that they are always looking for the inside scoop on hot new items to make the best matches for your own personal taste and lifestyle.  The prices are reasonable too. You can get a Beauty Box 5 monthly for $12, quarterly for $30 or annually for just $99.  Shipping is always free.  A fun way to check out lots of the new beauty stuff out there without a whole lot of $$ investment. The great part is that if you like something, you can just up and buy the full size item, right?  Much better than buying a full size you-know-what-beauty-item and paying a fortune and then it sits in the makeup bag gathering dust because it doesn't work for you.

Beauty Box 5 mixes it up with their brands and keeps things adventurous. They source from a mix of niche, luxe, regular drugstore, vegan and eco-conscious brands.  One month you might get hair care, nail care, makeup, skin care, fragrances or even beauty accessories or a mix of any of the above.  I love the suspense!  You will get a carefully curated blend of travel, full-size and deluxe samples from their most current collection.

I just received the March Spring Cleaning Box.  Like all of us they are making room by tossing old makeup and ending those bad habits.  Think about focusing on the top beauty goal:  clean, gorgeous skin. Here is the scoop on the fresh goodies that were in this cute little box:
The first item in the pretty little box was Tree Hut Shea Body Butter in Coconut Lime. I love that it is certified organic Shea Butter with natural lime and coconut extracts. The tropical scent just takes me straight to a vacation on the beach in the Caribbean. AMAZING!! The 2oz size is perfect for traveling or stashing in your purse. Smells absolutely heavenly and moisturizes like crazy.  You must try this one. Excellent if you like a well scented product.
Jane's Pick All Natural Handmade Bar Soap was a new to me item. It was neatly wrapped in cellophane and a perfect size for a weekend getaway. Full of shea butter, hemp seed oil, coconut oil, palm oil, avocado oil and essential oils.  Smells light and clean and very moisturizing. I loved the fact that it is made in the U.S.A.  You know I love to support our own economy.
Have you ever tried h2O+ products?  They are amazing!  We all need something to get our hands back in shape after this harsh winter and this is another perfect product to help with the cause.  h2O+ created a super moisturizing Targeted Cream for hand and nail care. A travel size perfect for the purse or a weekend getaway. You can even stash this one in your desk drawer at work.  Use it before a client meeting so you can shake hands with confidence.  It feels great but the scent is not as exciting as I would like. On the other hand, it is good for work because the scent is very light and not overpowering. Good for times when you need moisture but you don't want a heavy scent.
We all need a little help here and there right?  The BellaPierre Makeup Base is just the perfect solution.  I always need a little extra in my eye area to camoflage my lack of enough sleep (another bad habit!)  BellaPierre is a London based company that is new to me.  It evens everything out and gives you a bright clean start to every day. I used it several times this week and it worked well to quiet down those under eye circles.  No discernable scent and very nice coverage.
Swissco has been around just forever and they have excellent tools for face and body care.  I really like them. This Dual sided Facial Pad is from their spa collection.  Perfect for removing all the day's makeup and getting a fresh start before applying all your creams, potions and lotions...maybe those serums too.  They seem to absorb much better when you really have a clean face. Perfect size to get your hands around as well. This was easy to used and helped get my face fresh.

It has been a challenge to find great looking socks and hosiery that provides some good support. Who wants to look 95 years old when you work so hard to keep fit and eat a healthy diet?  I was excited to hear about SOXXY AIR.  They are a new brand that insists on providing fashion and support for everyone.  This is a company that has created a line of gorgeous, fashionable and supportive footwear for casual and dress.  Soxxy has a whole line of ankle sox, leggings, thigh high sox and compression sox.

Soxxy founder, Sarah Stabile is part inventor, entrepreneur and marketer.

Things progressed quickly to fashionable stripes, spots and metallics in a variety of hip colors.  Appropriate sox for fitness, fashion and fun are now something totally doable now.  Soxxy takes ho-hum hosiery and combines performance and high fashion to bring it all to a new level.  Their unique patented XO Grip holds your socks where you want them all day long.
