You know me by now.  I am one healthy girl. I work hard and work out hard. I really try to eat a clean diet. It gets challenging sometimes when I am on the go though. Geez, that is practically all the time. I keep a few healthy snacks in my purse and in the car but when I heard about the opportunity to review a new espresso protein drink called CLICK I was thrilled. This seemed like a perfect solution for my busy mornings and afternoons.  Sometimes I just have to get to appointments so early all I have time for is coffee with skim milk. It just is not enough. CLICK would be the perfect antidote to this problem. The reason is that CLICK Espresso Protein Drink®, known as the coffee lover’s protein drink™, is a frappe-licious, nutritious, all-in-one, coffee protein drink mix that boosts your energy, burns fat and curbs your appetite so you can keep CLICK’n or running or whatever your do throughout your day! That works for my busy days which is pretty much every day.


I received a large canister of Mocha Click, a branded shaker and several sample packs of Vanilla Latte this past week and the timing was right. Another craaaazzzy week at work…gee what a surprise. Pre-holiday and post-holiday is always nuts. The other morning all I had time for was that coffee and skim milk. Well, you know what, I added in a scoop of my CLICK and ran out the door. I was really happy because I knew I was doing my body some good to get that healthy protein packed in. Protein helps keep you feeling full longer.  A nice fresh cup of coffee full of caffeine plus CLICK protein kept me going all morning long. I am pleased with my new option that works great even when I am super busy.  I tried CLICK another day when I had a few more minutes to spare and blended it with ice, a frozen banana and a spoonful of peanut butter powder. Think back to those yummy chocolate covered frozen bananas of your childhood. This was super delicious and I made a mental note to try this combo again. Take a peek at the  CLICK fan recipe page which has some amazing ideas. You can try it out with the CLICK-Sample3 pack which includes a sample of CLICK Mocha, Vanilla Latte, and Decaf product.


Nutritionally CLICK is an excellent option for busy people that don't want to go off track.  It tastes great, is low in fat and calories but high in protein. It even has vitamins and minerals too.  Protein helps makes you feel full longer, we all know that too. Each serving of CLICK is totally packed with nutrition. Each serving contains 15 g. of protein, double-shot gourmet espresso coffee and 23 vitamins/minerals and has a decadent taste that is a taste contender with those big coffee house drinks. Way less expensive too when you crunch out the numbers.


CLICK is great as an all-in-one breakfast meal replacement, mid-day, appetite curbing, pick-me-up snack. You can blend it with water, water and ice or add it to coffee or another beverage.  Consider CLICK’s unique coffee protein combination as your pre or post workout support drink.  They even have CLICK decaf for those who are sensitive to caffeine or want to enjoy CLICK as an after dinner, protein-packed dessert drink.  CLICK protein drinks are so versatile, you can drink it hot as well as cold or blended.  CLICK comes in a 14-serving canister and is available in 3 coffee-house delicious, coffee-house flavors; mocha, vanilla latte and new yummy caramel!  You can pick up and buy CLICK easily on Amazon or buy it at tons of other spots around the country and have it at your doorstep in a flash too.

These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

I workout hard. Alot. That means every day I need to eat well to maintain my energy and give my body the nutrients I need so I can keep going through work, family, life, workouts and more. It is a challenge whether you are 22 or 52.  It is great to have supplements that you can be confident support your efforts every single day. There are tons of products out there but NLA for Her is a different line of products that is engineered for my needs as a woman.  NLA's mission is to empower women women through fitness and proper supplementation. Think about it. NLA even has a laser focus with their motto of, "Create Your Own Goddess".  I recently tried NLA Uplift and really need to tell you about my experience.
I received several samples to try out. The Uplift pre-workout energy supplement blends very easily into my beverages like almond milk and water. I felt so much more energetic when I started using them. I noticed it the very next day. Usually I am really sore because I am always changing up my routine and ramping it up my muscles take a beating. I have a hard time getting out of bed the next morning. By adding NLA for Her Uplift into my daily routine I noticed that my recovery time seemed to be much faster.  I pretty much bounced out of bed and my legs were not so sore. Trust me, the workout WAS hard too. I think it was the NLA Uplift that made the difference.

Cetaphil Skin Squad #GentlePower Party

Disclosure:  I received a party package of Cetaphil Skin products through Crowdtap in order to host a party and share the products and my experiences with my guests. As always, my opinions are my own.


I was lucky enough to be selected recently as part of a small, select group from the Cetaphil Skin Squad through Crowdtap. I had the chance to participate and host a Cetaphil Skin Squad party.  It was a fun opportunity to get together with friends and use the Cetaphil products!


They sent plenty to share with my guests so that they could try them and see what they thought. They even included an extra Cetaphil® Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 for my guests to take home and share with one of their friends! Who wouldn't jump on the opportunity to get together with the girls (and guys!)  and have some fun with Cetaphil?


Here are some of the Cetaphil goodies they shared with us:
  • 1 full size cloth
  • 1 full size RestoraDerm
  • 1 full size moisturizer
  • 10 sample cloths
  • 10 sample RestoraDerm
  • 10 sample moisturizers
  • 1 pamphlet
We had a great time chatting about our skin and relaxing with some wine, fresh fruit and bottled water on the deck of our beach house. Please excuse the deck chairs and furniture...our new set as delayed until next Friday so we had to make do!

Ruth was excited about the Cetaphil Skin Care Wipes for both her and her daughter. They are an easy way to freshen up after a long day at the beach. Both of them agreed.  They liked that the wipes are non-comodegic so they won't clog pores or cause acne.  Jane thought the Cetaphil wipes would be terrific for travel or stashing at work for a quick refresh.  She also noticed that the Cetaphil Daily Moisturizer contained SPF 15 to keep the skin protected every single day. She is a skin care nut like me so I was laughing that she noticed it before I even had a chance to point it out!  My husband is not a big fan of scented products. One of the things that he liked about the Cetaphil products is that there is almost no scent.  It is very faint to nothing and he said he would use it because of that.  

You can find the entire line of Cetaphil products pretty much everywhere too.  I have been a lifelong Cetaphil user and always find them conveniently on and off-line in Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and Target.  I have even picked them up on Amazon when I am in a pinch.  If you want love Cetaphil and want to get involved with spreading the love through their Cetaphil Skin Squad you can check out more here.
