I really try to eat healthy and do what I can to support my immune system. I was excited to try out something new that is super healthful and can be used in so many ways from smoothies to cereals and even baking and cooking.  Organic Spirulina is an immune powerhouse! The rich, dense green color is the big clue that it is packed with important, organic nutrients that your body needs.

Now we are heading into the season that is a challenging one for me with viruses and the flu at my doorstep. I try to do everything I can to support my immune system. I am excited about the opportunities to use this Organic Spirulina to for yummy smoothies, juices and recipes to give me the nutritional boost my body needs.  I even received a free recipe book with some wonderful recipe and tips on how to incorporate this ultimate superfood into my diet!

The company has shared that Spirulina may help:

Support your immune system: Organic Spirulina is the most nutrient dense food known to humankind. That is pretty powerful. It can help balance your pH and reduce inflammation. This nutritional content can really provide the support your immune system needs this fall and winter and all year long.

Consider how free radicals and aging take place.This miracle superfood has more antioxidant activity than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables and 3900% more beta carotene than carrots.  That is a  powerful antioxidant punch that can support skin health and cell regeneration even in the face of pollution, diet, minor injury, or stress.

Organic Spirulina can help to optimize your health.  It contains over 100 naturally occurring and bioavailable vitamins & nutrients.  Organic Spirulina contains more than 60% protein and is a non-synthetic source of iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium, beta-carotine, B12, chlorophyll, phytonutrients, antioxidants and essential amino acids (GLA, Omega 3, 6 & 9's).

This is nutrient packed USDA Certified Organic Spirulina. It has been called perhaps nature's most perfect food. In fact, if nature were to make a multivitamin, this just might be it

Spirulina can be added to just about anything but is tastes best in smoothies and other flavored beverages.  I like blending it with ice cubes, almond milk, a drop of vanilla, a few pieces of sliced apple and a banana.  Spirulina alone has a strong flavor that works well with a bit of sweetness for balance. You can also add it to vegetable juices or a veggie smoothie. Talk about a benefit....Spirulina contains more protein content than any other food source, and, it is biologically complete. This means it contains all of the essential amino acids needed for human health. Spirulina is also the most planet friendly source of protein? It yields 20% more than soybeans with 25% of the water usage and is 5 times more energy efficient. It is an Eco-conscious source of green protein.  A perfect addition to your diet for vegetarians or if you trying to reduce your consumption of animal products.

Bella & Bear Beauty Products (Eyelash Curler & Hair Remover) Review #beautytools

Nothing opens up my eyes and makes me look more fresh and alert than a quick tap or two with and eyelash curler.  I love this Bella+Bear Eye and Mighty Eyelash Curler.  It is easy to use and makes my eyes look gorgeous. It is a little different than your average eyelash curler because you don't have to hunt from drugstore to online trying to find those elusive replacement pads. None are required. The pads are designed to last for the lifetime of the eyelash curler.  This curler also doesn't pinch me like my old one did in the past. I am an old pro at eyelash curling but every once in a while...bam, pinch, owwww. I like the design of this Eye and Mighty Eyelash Curler better. It is actually easier to hold and grip all the lashes than my old curler.  It really works no matter what.  My special final and personal secret is turning on my hair dryer or hot brush and putting the curler under it for a second or two.  You must check it to make sure it isn't too hot before putting it near your eyes but it makes the lashes curl like crazy.

One other area that you need to consider in the beauty department is hair removal.  Bella +Bear make it a snap with their new Hair Removal Kit.  It is easy to use and saves me money.  Waxes, creams, threading, laser or even electrolysis costs so much money.  You can remove facial hair really fast and save a bundle by doing it in the privacy of your own home. This works on my facial hair and really lasts for weeks because it removes the hair from the follicles. I love that it is totally natural too. It even comes with a pair of high quality tweezers that get even those tricky hairs.  The Kit does it all and it is portable too so you never have to worry anymore.

The Bella+Bear Hair She Goes Hair Remover kit is the bomb. You really need to try it and let me know what you think. I love how smooth my face looks and no worries about the stray hairs anymore. I can even tuck it into my travel bag (it is that small!) so I can feel confident anywhere I go on vacation.

You can find Bella & Bear on Amazon too so you can get all the wonderful beauty benefits right to your door really fast.

180 Cosmetics Pure Swiss Hyaluronic Serum + Oxygen Review #expederm

I am always looking for options to improve the look of my skin.  You have to take care of your facial skin carefully.  I was excited to hear about a novel option from 180 Cosmetics. They have a great serum that they shared can help reverse the signs of aging with the revitalizing power of oxygen.

This powerful serum has several benefits:

• Delivers abundant moisture for smooth, supple, wrinkle-free skin.
• Diminishes wrinkles, fine lines, and the signs of aging, while preserving the skin's elasticity, suppleness, and youthful tone.
• Nourishes, energizes, hydrates, and rejuvenates.
• Contains the highest concentration of the absolute best quality Swiss hyaluronic acid available on the market, and enriched with natural ingredients for maximum results.
• Also contains powerful antioxidants that protect skin from free radicals.

Why should anyone consider adding Hyaluronic Acid to their beauty regimen? As we age, our body produces less and less of this important acid, thus affecting how moisture is stored in our skin. With 180° Cosmetics Pure Swiss Hyaluronic Serum + Oxygen, your skin gets the nourishing ingredients it needs to stay toned, smooth, rejuvenated, and beautiful. In just moments, this amazing serum penetrates deep into the skin, nourishing it from the core.

My experience:  I have been using this serum all week long on my face after cleansing.  It feels good on my skin and I haven't experienced any irritation.  My face looks bright and my skin is super clear.  The pores are starting to look smaller which is wonderful. I think my fine lines look a little softer but I will give it a few more weeks. Nothing works totally overnight and I think repeated applications make a difference.  You can find this hyaluronic serum right on Amazon.

Techno Gears Marble Mania Sidewinder 2.0 Review

We love to solve puzzles and put things together so we were really excited about both aspects of this Techno Gears Marble Mania Sidewinder 2.0.  This roller coaster theme construction set includes over 200 pieces to build and create your own introductory marble and gear run.

Sidewinder 2.0 includes a hand crank to move the marbles through the spiral lifter to the top of the twisting and turning tracks. Once built, kids can watch their marbles drop, spin and roll through their own fun and exciting creation. Ages 6+ years.

My daughter was super excited to check this out.  The directions made it easy but you have to take your time and follow them. There were some pieces like the blue pieces, you had ton put them in the exact correct direction otherwise you won't be able to connect other pieces properly.  

She enjoyed the challenge!  She also pointed out that some of the pieces required strength that some younger kids might not have. If your child is younger it would be a good bonding experience to construct it together with mom, dad, Gramma or Grampa. It was fun to put together for my 10 year old. She did some construction on a Friday and then completed it Saturday morning.  

The directions are pretty much super easy to follow and they showed the matching number for each piece.  That makes it easy to follow even for younger children with supervision. At the end, it would be more exciting if there was a loop de loop or squiggly line too.  Maybe there could be dual raceways or windmills too. That would make it even more fun.

It looks and feels very sturdy. It is a good size, even if someone lived in a smaller home or apartment it will not overwhelm your space fully constructed. We have been having a lot of fun with it this weekend and I would highly recommend it for any child that enjoys construction and gears. 

She has been playing with it regularly and it is fun to play together when you get all the marbles going.  When friends come over they immediately want to check it out and play with it.  They spend time laughing and cranking those crazy marbles through.

You can find the Techno Gears Marble Mania Sidewinder 2.0 right here at the Learning Journey. You can also go directly to Amazon.
