My Product Recommendations

For Health & Fitness

This powder is to add to drinks (or food). I hate Gatorade, so I use this in Crystal Light. I use the pitcher packs of Crystal Light and keep pitchers in my fridge. Just realize that it adds some punch to the flavor (salt), which is good for fruit flavored things but I didn’t like it in my tea. I use this daily because a few years ago I found out that I was basically low-grade dehydrated a lot of the time, and it was affecting how I felt and my energy levels.

This powder is to add to drinks (or food). I decided to start using this for both fitness (muscle building and a protein source) and for hair health (I was losing hair). I also add this to my pitchers of Crystal Light, along with the Electrolytes. This would also be good added to shakes or food. I really love that I get 10 grams of protein per 20 oz. of my Crystal Light, so it is a good way to increase my protein intake.

This is the protein powder I use to make protein shakes. I love that it has a vanilla flavor. You can also get it unflavored. I use it to make two types of shakes: Chocolate and Strawberry. So the vanilla flavor helps in both. I use Ghirardelli Chocolate powders to add the chocolate flavor, and for the strawberry I use both frozen strawberries and about half a stick pack of Wild Strawberry Crystal Light (the packets for water bottles). That gives it enough strawberry flavor.

I have added Juice Plus+ to my every day diet because I don’t each vegetables and not enough fruit. I also take the Omega capsules and the Berry capsules for brain health. I am not going to tell you that I saw some kind of measurable difference in my health, but I take them because I need to and I know they are good. Other supplements are not regulated, but because these are actual food, they are regulated by the FDA. Bonus is that you can get your kid’s capsules or gummies free with a paying adult!

For Self Care

This is expensive (over $400), but it has been worth every penny. After using it for about a year and a half, I can verify that I have not used it for the past 5 months and I might see 10 rogue hairs on my legs. I have truly killed the hair follicles on my legs and I am so happy. If you want my full review, click over to this review I wrote the first year after I got it.

Also expensive but worth it, and the tube does last me 6+ months. This actually works. My lashes were pathetic. I used this every day for 6 weeks and saw growth. 3 months and my lashes were amazing. After that you can just use it a few times a week for maintenance.
