I've been taking a couple of different pills the last week or so. One is a cleansing agent made with oats, alfalfa leaf, Rhubarb, and some other ingredients. This pill is the cleansing part of the diet kit. It helps you lose water weight (easiest part to lose), which I've lost 3lbs of this week. I take two of these before each meal, or I'm suppose to. I am notorious for forgetting to take pills, that's how I had my daughter 15 years ago! lol....

Anyway, the next pill is the Garcinia Cambogia which I have wrote about before on here. This is a fruit native to Asia, and I'm sure you all know is a appetite suppressant. Can you just take these and lose weight? 

Maybe...at least water weight. But, just like with anything, eating right and exercising is really all it takes. I lost 60lbs in 3 months just walking everyday. I still ate what I wanted. I DID quit drinking sodas and just drank water. But I didn't change my junk food, or much of anything else. Here I am 7yrs later, with all that weight back on though because I quit walking. I've since moved back to my hometown, and I work a lot of hours. So I try to find something like this to help me at least kick start some weight loss so I can get fired up about it! 

Anyway...if you need that same boost of confidence and fire under your ass like I do, you can get this pair at Amazon from Advanced BioScience. I did receive this in exchange for an honest review of the product. You can also check out my video review on the two here on my YouTube channel. Thanks for checking this out, and let me know you're there by liking, or following. My youtube isn't just for reviews, it's full of other videos that my crazy family and I do. 

Velour Towels

I received these super soft hand towels in exchange for a review the other day. I was kind of worried because they're white, and white doesn't stay white in this house. Maybe if it were a single person's home, but not in this home where I have at least three teenagers running around almost all the time. And then you have my husband and son whom I constantly clean up after. So, if I ever had any white towels...they're aren't that way now. 

When I received these, I didn't even want to take them out of the packet, however, how can I do a review without using them? 

Here we go, Now, these towels are 100% cotton, but they have a velour finish to them that makes them beyond soft. That made me think they'd be horrible at drying ANYTHING. But they actually do pretty good. I have two in the teens bathroom and two in mine, and I haven't had any issues with drying hands or faces. Right where my thumb is in this picture, you can see the sewn finish to help keep them from unraveling later on. I haven't owned them long enough to see that it works, but that's what it's there for. I do wish I could've gotten bigger towels. Bath size would be nice. 

I did get to order these on Amazon.com which is where you can get your set of 4 11x18 inch hand towels from Creative Scents. 

National Consumer Panel

As you guys are well aware, I do product reviews. I do them on things I buy, things I get for free in exchange for a review, and just because I feel like it. I have a lot of fun doing them, especially if it's helping someone else out. 
I have recently stumbled across another pretty neat deal, and I wanted to share the info with you guys. It's called National Consumer Panel. And I just started so I haven't really gotten into a whole lot yet, but here's the scoop and the benefits.
"Reward yourself for sharing your opinions with NCP. Joining our panel gives you the forum to tell brands what you think based on what you buy so they can improve the shopping experience for everyone. Plus, you earn rewards!"

Below...is their website and some more information. Basically, for a minimum of once a week, you scan your receipts. You can do it every time you shop, or just one big Wal-Mart trip. Doesn't matter if it's your gas station receipt for candy and pop, or Dollar General for toilet paper. You earn points and rewards. Plus there's little surveys you can do from time to time to get you more points. 

And every month there's a winner of a $500 NCP Visa Pre-paid card! Plus shopping sprees too!
