5KTape from SeventyFiveDegrees Review #FiveKTape





Have you heard about kinesiology, also known as the science behind muscular and skeletal movement?  kinesiology taping, Japanese chiropractor Dr. Kenzo Kase, a Japanese chiropractor is the inventor of kinesiology taping. He developed it as a muscle treatment back in 1979. He named it the Kinesio Taping Method. It gently lifts the layer of skin and attached tissue covering a muscle so that blood and other body fluids can move more freely in and around that muscle.  A really fascinating but so simple idea and it really works for athletes and even everyday peeps like me that workout a lot. The fact is that we know that keeping muscles active helps to improve circulation, reduce pain and speed healing. 5K Tape helps you do that. Kinesiology tape is designed to stick beautifully but it takes a few times to get it just right. If I can do it, so can you. You can shower with it on and leave on for a couple of days too which is super convenient.








The 5K Tape is effective because it works in multiple ways:
  • Supports muscle-Correct taping improves even damaged or weakened muscle's ability to contract. It reduces pain and fatigue and protects muscle from cramps, over-extension and over-contraction.
  • Allows body fluids to flow freely-Kinesiology tape improves blood and lymphatic circulation and drainage.  The lymph drainage also reduces inflammation and promotes elimination of chemicals.
  • Activates the endogenous analgesic system-In other words this activates your own body's pain relieving system. The tape helps your body to heal itself. 
  • Aid joint problems-Improves range of motion and adjusting issues that result from tightened muscles.

5K Tape is really easy to use too.  If you have muscles that are injured or overused, and you need relief and healing from pain and tightness you just apply the tape with no tension. You start at the tendons that hold the muscle to the bone and extend out towards the origin of the muscle.  If you have chronically injured or weakened muscles and need support and full range of motion you just apply the tape with light tension. You start at the origin of the muscle and extend out toward the tendons that hold the muscle to the bone.

After you've placed the tape in its final position, you rub the tape for a few seconds to activate the adhesive and ensure it stays put. Always rub the tape for activation. Do not forget this part.  After an hour, the adhesive sets and seals, and should be adhered enough to stay put for three to four days through all your daily activities, including exercise and showering.


5K Tape is premium kinesiology tape. You can find it conveniently on Amazon and it comes in two shapes too: Black 2 in.X16.4 ft pre cut, I and Y shape.  It is waterproof and latex free as well as hypo-allergenic.  It is the perfect sports and athletic tape for anyone. It provides some serious stability and support to the muscles but it is easy to use and I like that there are no pills involved. I prefer to do things naturally if I can and allow my own immune system to do its job whenever possible. Of course if something was serious or not improving after a day or two, I always head to  my doctor pronto to check things out. I find 5K Tape really reduces pain, inflammation and promotes circulation especially for my calves where they get super tight. It has made a huge difference for me and I am going to keep using it.

Kinesiology is something that is beneficial for everyone from teens to grammas. Many people besides athletes use it. It is ffective for the elderly, children, and everyone in between!  5KTape can be used on shin splints, back pain, shoulder, knee, and ankle injuries, plus many more sports and everyday aches and pains. Works great on sore muscles and bruises too!

Oleavine Konjac Facial Sponge 100% Plant Based infused with Activated Charcoal Review #beautysponge




Whatever your age, it is always good practice to take care of your skin properly. How can you do that naturally and make sure you are really cleaning your skin?  You could spend a bundle on one of those ultrasonic cleansers but that isn't always a reasonable or eco-friendly option. Oleavine is a leading Anti-aging and Skincare Beauty Company that just launched a 100% natural, eco-friendly and biodegradeable Konjac facial sponge. 

There are other Konjac sponges out there and Oleavine did extensive research prior to placing their name on this little magical item.  The Konjac fiber for the Oleavine facial sponge is grown on the pristine volcanic plains of Jeju Island in South Korea, free from chemicals, pollution and irritants. The sponge hydrates quickly, and lasts longer with proper care than others that they tested extensively.

This Konjac Sponge is my little beauty secret these days. It is luxuriously soft and comfortable to use. It is unbelievable how gently it exfoliates and cleanses.  Oleavine shared with me that it is naturally pH balanced as well.  They also revealed that the secret is in the activated bamboo charcoal.  It absorbs toxins, fights bacteria and excess oils. I find it leaves my your face looking refreshed and radiant each time I use it no matter how little sleep I got the night before. Trust me, the past few weeks I have have had so much on my plate sleep is the last thing I am getting. Thank goodness for this little helper! I find that it cleans so well that my skin really absorbs my creams and serums.  Every little bit helps.
 
Oleavine tells me that their Konjac Facial Sponge is even soft enough for a baby's skin while still providing effective exfoliation. This is a beauty tool that you can comfortably use every single day even on the most sensitive skin. No more irritation caused by harsher rough exfoliation or those expensive electronic scrubbers.  You can even save because facial cleanser is optional with the Konjac Sponge. I find my skin looks clearer and I have not seen any breakouts recently...even though it has been so hot and sticky here...no zits.


I have petite hand and I find the teardrop shape is easy to hold.  You can use the Oleavine Konjac Facial sponge on the face or body. The ergonomically designed teardrop shape easily fits in the palm of your hand and you can use the soft rounded point to gently exfoliate sensitive hard to reach areas around your eyes. This sponge is the ideal shape for the contours of your face but still large enough for your body.  I find it works great to clean my body after I have been outside all day with my sunscreen. My skin feels so clean after.

The Oleavine Konjac sponge is:
  • Free From Chemicals, Pollution and Irritants
  • 100% Biodegradable and Sustainable (You can even plant it in your flowerbed or compost when you want to retire it)
  • Not Tested on Animals, and Vegan Friendly
  • Has NO Added Dyes or Colorants
I buy more and more on Amazon just for the pure convenience from my paper goods to my beauty tools including the Oleavine Konjac sponge. Let me know what you think.

TheraRelief Pain Relief Cream Review #theravita

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Always check with your physician before starting any supplement product and specifically TheraRelief. 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.
 

Do you have aches and pains from time to time? Who doesn't?  I work out hard and sometimes I get sore calves or even my back aches the next day. I like to take care of my pain naturally if I can. TheraRelief lets me do that.  It does NOT have a strong "menthol" smell. It is odorless, does not burn, won't leave you greasy and does not have any known side effects. If you need a natural pain relief cream this is a great option.


I love how TheraRelief works so fast too. I just rub a little bit in and I feel relief within a few minutes. I feel like it is helping my body help itself too. TheraRelief provides instant pain relief while helping the body fight inflammation in joints and muscles with all natural ingredients that are free of dangerous chemicals such as parabens. It includes over 27 deep penetrating clinically proven compounds including Glucosamine and Chondroitin that will help your body heal and recover, rather just mask or cover up the problem.

TheraRelief has almost no smell at all. It is just about odorless and feels comfortable on the skin too. It does not burn and won't leave you feeling icky or greasy either. The ingredients do not have any known side effects. I always suggest checking in with your doctor or health practitioner first before trying anything new though. Never stop taking any medicines that your doctor or health practitioner has prescribed without their knowledge either. TheraRelief can help you fight inflammation naturally while soothing joints and muscles affected by arthritis, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, overuse pains and other strains.
