I was sent this product complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

I’m not a salsa person, but my husband and oldest son are, so I knew they would LOVE to try this out!!

Here’s what they said:
Salsa Serrano is rated 6/10. My son who packs his lunch everyday for school, started including it in with his lunches because he loved it and so did his friends. It is medium spiciness with the great taste of sweet corn included. Very good without unnecessary ingredients. My son said “it’s tangy and perfect with the right kind of chips”.

They would like me to buy it again once we run out!

I received this dvd complimentary from ABX for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

This is not a workout dvd that I typically do, but I was intrigued by the mind/body/breathing techniques that were mentioned in the product description so I decided to give it a try!

Erin Buchanan is very motivating, likeable, and upbeat. She does a fantastic job explaining the exercises and breathing techniques through out the 60 minute workout dvd. I would describe this workout as a yoga/cardio/core workout.

I do want to mention that the wooden bar used for this workout dvd does NOT come with the workout, so I feel like the price of $34.97 is too high for a single 60 minute workout. I also wouldn’t consider this a “family friendly” workout dvd-I have 3 boys at home and I felt uncomfortable doing this dvd around them because of how Erin was dressed. Because of that, I would only do this workout by myself when they aren’t around.

If you like low impact, yoga moves, or working your core; you will love trying this dvd. It’s not for everyone. It took me two times doing the dvd before I really got the hang of it and my breathing. I enjoyed trying this dvd from ABX and I liked the added component of using a wooden bar during the workout.

**You took the first action step and ordered the Dvd. Your next action step is to get your Active Internal Resistance (AIR)Bar. It is simply a standard 40″ dowel rod available at any hardware store (Home Depot etc.) Usually the diameter is 7/8″ to 1″. The bar will feel heavy at points during the workout when you are getting started, so the longer the bar and the larger the diameter — the heavier the bar. Also, Oak is heavier than Pine. The usual cost is only a couple of dollars for Pine, depending on your location.**

I thoroughly enjoyed this book 1 of “Amish Brides of Pinecraft” by Shelley Sherpard Gray! To be honest, sometimes I have a difficult time reading Amish fiction because of the different words they use, but this book was easy to read and follow. I loved the main character Leona and I applaud her for thinking through life changing decisions and not being swayed by other people’s opinions. The story line was mostly set in sunny Florida during her vacation instead of her hometown in Ohio, which made the book fun and inviting. I can’t wait to read more about the other “Brides of Pinecraft” which is the town in Florida where Leona visited with her friends.

I would highly recommend this fun, romantic, clean, Amish fiction book!

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.

About the book:
The Promise of Palm Grove

Leona must decide: Does she follow the path set out before her? Or take a chance with only the promise of what could be to guide her?

A young Amish woman finds herself torn between the man she’s pledged to wed and the man her heart desires in this heartwarming story of chance, duty, and choice in the face of love—the first volume in the beloved New York Times bestselling author’s new Amish Brides of Pinecraft series.

Amish bride-to-be Leona is thrilled to be in Florida, on a mini-vacation in the pretty town of Pinecraft. Her girlfriends think she’s happy because she’s away from the stress of wedding planning. They have no idea that Leona’s real joy is in being away from her fiancé.

Edmund is a good man, and will make a decent husband . . . just not for Leona. The more time she spends with him and his overbearing ways, the less she wants to be his wife. Her cousins are sure Edmund is the right man for her—and their certainty makes Leona begin to doubt herself. But when a chance encounter with a wayward cat brings her face-to-face with a handsome, fun-loving Amish man named Zachary Kauffman, Leona’s faced with two vastly different futures.

About the author:

This book written by Haylie Pomroy, has 3 eating plans that can assist you if you suffer from inflammation, digestive, and/or hormonal complications. She addresses how all three of those issues can halt your weight loss and what you can do about it. I know I could benefit from following any or all of these eating plans, especially the digestive plan.

When I reviewed the eating plan and grocery list for the D-Burn Digestive Intervention, I was pleased that it listed “normal” clean foods on the list, so I won’t go broke buying a bunch of weird detox food. My only concern is that she suggests having one cup of cooked fruit one hour before bed.

I can’t wait to continue reading this book and apply some of these ideas and principles to my every day life! I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

Amazon book description:
In the #1 New York Times bestseller The Fast Metabolism Diet, powerhouse nutritionist Haylie Pomroy showed readers how to heal a broken metabolism with the strategic use of macronutrients. But even in the best running systems, inflammation, digestive dysfunction, and hormonal imbalances can all hinder weight-loss. In The Burn, Haylie breaks new ground and gives anyone trying to lose weight new tools for busting through plateaus. Using targeted micronutrients to incinerate weight-loss roadblocks, Haylie will help you remove the problem—and lose up to 3, 5, and 10 pounds in as many days!

The Burn offers three eating plans, therapeutically designed to achieve highly specific results. The I-Burn targets the body’s inflammatory reactions to food and flushes out toxins and subcutaneous fat, producing prominent cheekbones and a glowing complexion in three days. In five days, the D-Burn unblocks the body’s digestive barrier and torches torso fat, to create a flat belly and tighter waistline. The 10-day H-Burn addresses the hormonal system, repairing and facilitating the proper synthesis of hormones to reshape lumps and bumps into gorgeous curves, sleeker hips, and thinner thighs.

The Burn also unveils:
· I-Burn, D-Burn, and H-Burn eating and living plans, complete with detailed grocery lists and daily menus to keep the process simple and easy-to-follow.
· Dozens of delicious recipes for meals in a flash.

I was sent these two products from the company complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

I have been using Garcinia Cambogia and a cleanse supplement off and on for months now and when I take them consistently, I know that it works! Both of these bottles contain 60 supplements, so if you use as directed, they will last you for one month. I liked that the Garcinia supplement was a coated gel supplement which makes it easier for me to swallow; the cleanse supplement was not. They are more “vitamin coated” and larger so they were hard for me to swallow. When used together, I see an improvement in “being regular” in the bathroom as well as not feeling the need to snack when I’m stressed or bored.
