I have chronic dry skin. It's unfortunate and sometimes a pain, but as long as I take proper steps, I can prevent the itching and flaking that seems to happen - particularly in the winter months. That means moisturizing body washes and plenty of lotion slathered on after I shower.
Sometimes, though, it does not get the job done. So, what am I missing? How can I stop these flakes from appearing in my wake? Exfoliation, maybe? Obviously not often - once or twice a week is plenty with dry skin. I have never tried any exfoliating chemicals or products until recently when I got the Exfolimate. I was desperate. And my desperation has paid off. It will continue to do so as long as I do not exfoliate on a regular basis. That is very important for people with dry skin. Over exfoliating will irritate and dry your skin out even more. When flakes start appearing, that is when you use this cloth. The cloth is not soft. It is abrasive. So, please, use gently. Apply a small amount of body wash on the cloth and scrub your skin. After you get done, apply some lotion. Since the cloth helps get rid of those pesky skin flakes, you want to make sure your exfoliated skin is nice and soft. You can toss this cloth in the washer, but do not place it in the dryer. It needs air drying. I am assuming that this cloth will stand the test of time. It is sturdy. Recommended.

I love the luxurious feeling of body wraps. As I sit in my home, it gives me a sense of being in a spa. The Slimmin Suzie detox wrap does a wonderful job in providing me that feeling. The thick feeling of the clay on my fingers and on my torso was relaxing and comforting.
The wrap itself is made from the same material as ACE bandages. It is stretchy and soft, yet firm enough to hold. I figure after the clay is gone, I can still use the bandages in my first aid kit at home. That being said, there are no instructions accompanying this wrap. But that is not a big deterrent. I determined that all I had to do was add a small amount of water to the powdered clay packs. I went online to their website to confirm. Use more water to cover a larger area and less water if you want to concentrate on one site. It can be used anywhere on your body - tummy, thighs, butt, etc. I used it on my tummy. What I learned after the first wrap - do not leave it on for longer than the recommended hour. I left it on for an hour and a half because I was distracted with other tasks. I found a trail of dried clay behind me as I walked through the house. So, just watch it as it dries. It can create a mess.

I have tried a number of weight loss supplements this past year. Thankfully, all have been made with natural ingredients and the Petite Plus Super Weight Loss is no different. Since beginning this supplement, my weight loss has not been significant. There has been some, but it has not been extraordinary. What I have noticed, however, is a slight increase in energy and a major decrease of stress levels. In fact, that is one of the benefits it touts - stress reliever. I am not sure what ingredient in this supplement makes that happen, but it is a wonderful benefit. I know, as a stay-at-home mom, how much stress can I have? Plenty. Other stay-at-home moms feel me on this one, I am sure. Many days, I do not know how I am going to get everything done. I manage somehow, but at the age of 34, my hair is a combination of white and gray. I leave it up to you to decide whether or not to try this.

I have a confession to make. I grind my teeth - a lot. I've done it my whole life and now, at the age of 34, my teeth are teeny. I had a dentist who once compared them to adult teeth that were coming in. I'm not sure why I do it, but it happens every night in my sleep - much to my husband's dismay. I also do it
occasionally when I am suffering from a low blood sugar. From what I understand, it is a very unpleasant noise. I finally got a NatuerLabs Mouth Guard to help protect my teeth and to help my husband get a more restful night's sleep. I am happy to say that so far, I have no complaints. At first, wearing this mouth guard at night was uncomfortable. There was some slight pinching going on, but I think I just had to get used to it. Also, I am a chronic mouth breather, so I have had to make some adjustments in my nightly breathing habits. So, the mouth guard is not all peaches and cream. However, I am also happy to report that my teeth are no longer grinding together. My husband has not heard any unpleasant noises coming from my side of the bed. This is a good product to get for teeth grinders. Check them out on Amazon. Full disclosure: I was sent this product free of charge in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
As the mother of two children - ages 8 and 2 - carpet stains are a regular part of my life. And the stains are caused by a wondrous variety - spaghetti sauce, lemonade, mud, laundry detergent, clay and even dirty diapers. Sometimes, mysterious stains appear and I have no idea what caused them. No one else knows, either. Funny how that happens, huh?
Last night, I sprayed Spot & Stain Remover on a lemonade stain on my living room carpet. First, I soaked up some lemonade residue, then I sprayed a moderate amount on the stain. Using a brush, I gently agitated the area. It is very important not to scrub the area. I then blotted it with a cloth until most of the moisture was absorbed. After it was fully dry, I then vacuumed it. The results? A stain-free, non-sticky carpet. That alone was enough to sing about. I also appreciate that there is no overpowering scent accompanying this cleaning fluid. There is a very faint smell, but it is not unpleasant. This one is a winner!

I love to try different weight loss supplements - all in the quest to find a miracle supplement that works for me. In my ongoing quest, I tried Zenda Slim. The instructions for this product are very simple - one
capsule taken one to two times per day with meals. As usual, it is recommended to use this product in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise program. I love the ingredients in these capsules - green coffee bean, green tea leaf, apple cider vinegar, grapefruit, kelp, anhydrous caffeine, acai fruit, African mango and resveratrol. I feel clear headed and light when I take these. I don't feel jittery or tense. My brain isn't bouncing all over the place. I have energy to keep up with my two-year-old and eight-year-old. Yes, there is caffeine, but it is the equivalent to drinking half a cup of coffee. I have seen some weight loss results. I would say since I started taking this supplement, I have lost roughly six pounds. I can be happy with that. I recommend trying this product out.
