Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil Review & Giveaway

I was so happy to do a review on Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil. The first day I received Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil I was eager to try it out. I replaced my cooking oil with Gold Label coconut oil and sautéed shrimp for dinner. I really was impressed with the high cooking point it had. I like it better than the oil I use. It didn't have a strong coconut taste either.

I was very eager to try this out in my banana bread so I replace the shortening for coconut oil and it was a hit with my boys! ( That is the true taste test)

You can use it for frying, baking or add it to drink mixes, it is so versatile and easy to use. My husband and I add a tablespoon to our oatmeal and our protein drink daily.

My Review on L'Oreal Sublime Glow Daily Moisturizer

I recently bought L’Oreal sublime glow and I'm really impressed with my results!
 Now that it is spring I love to wear dresses and skirts but my legs haven't seen the sun in months and I wanted some color.
 The Sublime Glow enhancers specifically designed for medium skin tones work with your body's unique chemistry to gradually deepen your skin's natural complexion giving you the perfect dose of healthy summer color.
I will tell you I got many complement on my legs! I was told that I had beautiful glowing tan legs with some shimmer effects. Most people just thought my skin tone really was natural I so like that. I'm sold on this product that I will use it daily & year around its so much safer then soaking in the sun.
Here are my before and after pictures

"Simple" a New Line of products

I received a package of Simple products from Klout.

In my package I got to try out Simple cleaning

facial wipes and Replenishing rich moisture. The Simple products are kind to your skin so if you have sensitive skin you may want to check these products out.

They contain no perfume & no dyes.

I have tried out the Simple facial wipe and as like most women sometimes we don't really want to wash our face when we are tired at night so these facial wipes come in handy a fast way to clean your face before bed. I love them! They take off a great amount of make-up including masacra.

Also the replenishing rich moisturizer is nice its not greasy easy to apply and I think it aslo helps your make-up look even better.

I give these products two thumbs up!

You can go to their website to check out all their products.

My Own Workout Program

I have been so very busy since my last post. I want to let you know about my four week workout I was testing out.

Well it was a hard workout but I made it through three weeks and I decided that it wasn't what I needed.

First of all some of the excerises I couldn't do at home you need a gym. The food intake was way to much for me to eat daily I felt over stuffed before I even ate 3/4 of each meal. I would say that the workout is for someone who was already fit and just need to get back on track not for someone like me who needs to lose weight.

I have always workout on and off for many many years losing & regaining weight like most people. My diet was to eat less calories which did help me lose weight but my abs still were flabby. This year is different for me I started to eat clean and what a big change in my abs already though I still have a ways to go.

I started my own workout program on Jan 29,2012 I started walking at 4.0 on my treadmill 3 times a week for 30 mins and weight training 3 times a week for the first 2 weeks. Then I started running at 5.0 for 30 mins & walking at 4.0 for 30 mins 6 times a week & weight training 3 times a week. I have gotten stronger I can see muscles and I'm happy to say I lost 5.8 lbs so far my bodyfat is at 26.6 down from 30 I have lost 3" from my waist. I do use an app called myfitnesspal it helps me to keep track of my daily intake & more. I'm posting a pic of me before I started my own workout & will post another one when I reach my goal,

Today April 8th I'm so happy to say my body fat drop down to 22.6 wow! I have been clean eating and having a protein shake daily adding in it a tablespoon of TT's coconut oil & a tablespoon of flax seed. I feel reallly great more energy to get through my workouts.
I still have a flabby belly so I haven't reached my final goal. I also bought The Eat-Clean Diet cookbook2 to add flavors to my new eating lifestyle. I'm really excited to begin cooking.

UPDATE - To My New Years Resolution to get Fit (AGAIN)

Wow I can't believe it! I made it through the 1st week and I'm so proud of myself.
I haven't been working out since Oct 4 2011 what a difference it is to stop working out for such a short period of time and putting the weight back on. I'm so out of shape, this whole week had been really hard.
I get up at 4am to start my workout by 6am I'm done & showered & dressed for the day. I really like that. My workout is out of the way I have my whole day for other things.
Let me talk about the workouts I was sore after the first three days but then it got better and I started to add more weight what a powerful feeling I got knowing I can lift heavier. The workouts really get you sweating & your heart pumping.

I have also been following the daily meals it has been hard to eat all that food. I eat every 2.5 hrs to get my six meals in. I did tend to find that when it was close to 2.5 hrs I was hungry. I make some of my foods ahead of time so all I have to do is reheat it that saves me so much time as I can't be always cooking.
Most of the meals I really don't mind but the 99% fat free ground turkey its so dry its like eating rubber I don't like it.

I'm starting my 2nd week and will post more next week. I didn't give you my measurements before I started so I will give them now
weight 124.4
waist 32"
arms 11.2"
thighs 21'
body fat 30%

After my first week I'm only giving weight & fat
weight 123.3
body fat 27.8

My New Years Resolution to get Fit (AGAIN)

Yes, like most people I made a new years resolution to get fit, to eat better, to be healthier for life. Over the holidays I ate whatever I wanted, didn't workout and because of that I gained about 15 lbs!
Ouch! I'm feeling so bad about myself and my eating habits and lack of get up and go.I did start eating better & doing some exercises on Jan 2nd but I wasn't really pushing myself as much I needed to.When I was at the super market I decided to pick up the new Mucsle & Fitness Hers Jan/Feb 2012 magazine. As I was reading through it I saw an article that caught my attention its called "Four weeks to Fit (again)"Okay I thought this article is for me, getting back in shape once again.So I took out all the pages for the workout and taped them up in my workout room. I took the meal plan out and went shopping.
Today is Sunday Jan 8th, I have read what workout I will be doing tomorrow (Jan 9th) made & prepared my meals for the week also wrote what times I will be eating each of the six meals which wasn't so easy to figure out for me because I'm a school bus driver and my hours are throughout the day.(My work hrs go like this 6:30am to work done at 8am back to work by 11:20am done at 12:30pm back to work at 2pm done at 4pm)Now I have to figure that some days I can workout at 4:30am & others times will be at 6pm depending on my husbands work hours we have only one car & I need it throughout the day, so that means I have to take him to work & pick him up I have two boys that I pick up whenever there sports are done and put my Mom is there also she doesn't drive so I take care of her too.
I have to tell you this isn't going to be easy for me to do but I want to be fit & not just for a few months any longer I want this for LIFE!
I will keep posting throughout the four weeks. If you want to find out more about this Four Week to Fit (again) plan or have any questions go to one of these links.

Is your child a bedwetter?

I have a child who is a bedwetter. I have tried many things to help him stay dry but nothing seems to work. His doctor said " he would grow out of this" now 12 years old it really needs to stop for his own state of mind.

I ordered a product called Rodger its a bedwetting solution. My child has been using it for about a week now.& so far I like it.

It's a wireless alarm. When he starts to wet the alarm will go off and your child will have to get up out of bed to turn the alarm off and while he is up goes to the bathroom to empty the rest of his bladder.

I will keep you posted as time goes. Here is the link where you can find out more about this product.
