As far as I can remember I never liked any physical activity because I was overweight and didn't like to go walking, ride a bike, run or even gym at school. You name it I didn't want to do it. Until now that is because I lead a more active lifestyle by walking, working out,running and eating healthier and have lost 100 pounds because of it! I don't know about you but it's the little things that can make me want to get out there and move such as sporting a new outfit such as this one I received for review from ActivewearUSA  !  Founded with a goal to offer with high performance stylish footwear, activewear, accessories for women with over 110 different brands that are perfect for fitness, workouts, kickboxing, Zumba, yoga and most importantly you will feel great and look oh so fabulous while working out!  From the moment I opened the package and tried it on I fell in love with the outfit!

I love flax seeds in products such as cereal, granola but have never tried flax milk. So when I came across  GoodKarma  flax milk on the web I just knew I had to try it for review!

My all time favorite drink in the summer time is lemonade! It's so refreshing and tasty especially when the temperature is at it's all time high, but is way too sugary. So when I came across Make a Stand  on the web I just had to try them out! I was then sent two flavors for review on my blog! I like how the bottles have an old fashion look to them and also that they have cute little charms around the bottles! They make the perfect gift!

I love to paint my toenails once in awhile, not only does it add some color to my nails but it's also nice to just kick back and pamper yourself.  When I was browsing on their website and saw all the beautiful colors of nail polishes I just knew I had to review them especially when I came across the pretty purple one!  How awesome that I got to pick my own products for this review to! I ended up picking out the purple shade which actually is called Another Beautiful Day in LA, a clear coat and also a lavender polish remover! Nail polish remover:  made with soybean oil and lavender. What's so unique about this nail polish remover is that it doesn't offer an overpowering smell as soon as you twist the cap off like other brands do. I love the smell to it too!

Ok, now this review is a bit different from all my others, because they are feminine care products.  I was sent these items for review and couldn't wait to try them out to see if they are better and different from the average products we all know and use. Natural Panty liners: One thing I hate sometimes when I wear panty liners or even pads is that they don't stay in place in underwear especially during the night, which as we all ladies know is uncomfortable. I liked how they didn't shift, they didn't offer any perfume smell to them and also I felt cleaner and more confident in wearing them for the time of the month. Gynecologist advise women to wear all natural,panty liners to in fact reduce the contact of chlorine bleaches, synthetics and superabsorbents that are made with petrochemicals.   What makes natracare  feminine products different: All natural Parable free Chlorine free Clinically tested No synthetic preservatives  Alcoho...
