Books we couldn't put down...

Picture
Not my typical read... When I opt for women's fiction, I usually go for the ones with a tad more humor. That said, Everything We Keep gets Great Books Great Deals "must-read" status because it surprised me by being different. If you like a dedicated and strong female lead, who's not so strong she becomes unlikable, you'll love Aimee as she tries to rebuild her life after losing her fiancé. 

For more info, visit Amazon.com!

All of our readers LOVE young-adult books. Not cheap gimmicky young-adult books, but books that focus on real-life situations that many of us have experienced at one time or another. 

If you love a heart-felt, slightly humorous story featuring a cast of characters with a wide array of disorders, this book is a must-read!

Favorite Health find in my 34 years of suffering with acne and sinus infections!

Picture
We know. We know. You've heard it all before, but did you know garlic is a natural antibiotic for acne and sinus infections...? I learned about this amazing drug a year ago, and I, the woman who used to get three to four sinus infections a year, haven't had one. And my adult acne, that I'd tried EVERYTHING, for decades to get rid of ... GONE! So, buy garlic for what it says it does for your health, and maybe experience a few extra side effects like I did.*
Note: I don't use fancy, expensive products, and ZERO acne products. Just a simple cleanser like Purpose, Followed by a toner with gycolic acid like Neutrogena. (Hint: don't use a cotton ball. Pour a bit into your palms and smooth it all over your face, neck, and hands. Then lastly, apply a moisturizer like Ponds. You don't need extravagantly priced skin care products to have radiant skin; you just need to find the drug-store brands that use the same proven ingredients. :)

Beauty Products we LOVE!

Picture
Love gel manicures, but don't enjoy paying $35 every two weeks, when really only two or three of your nails need repainted...? Nope, our hands aren't as steady as the professionals, but we do well enough to get a few extra weeks. Practice makes perfect. For more info, visit Amazon.com! 
Picture
Hints: Apply Daisy Ultra Bond first for a manicure which will last weeks longer. Also, buy your favorite color, and take it with you when you get your nails done professionally. Many nail salons have a habit of thinning their polishes! That way you'll have the exact color when you do yours at home. Our favorite color: I'm not really a waitress.

Picture
Bar none, one of the best hair straightening products, EVER! Going on five months, and still little to no frizz, and my hair is healthier because I haven't had to use a hair straightener several days a week. For more info, visit Amazon.com!
Picture
I highly recommend the three-step follow-up care products. They not only help prolong the treatment, they work great and go a long way. Bought five months ago when I did the Brazilian Blowout, and I still have enough for at least another month. Find the set on Amazon.com!

Keep Your Diet on Track with these HITS!

Picture
Whether you are on a low-carb, low-calorie, or low-fat diet, Joseph's Pita Bread is a DIET saver!

I use them for egg sandwiches at breakfast. Cold-cut or Meatball Subs at lunch, and Personal Pizzas for dinner. 

Sadly, Amazon doesn't have the best price on these, so you might want to ask your local grocer. Find calorie and net carb info here.
Picture
ParmCrisps are great for low-carb diets! While a tad strong, if you love the taste of REAL parmesan cheese, and miss the crunch of a chip or cracker, you will certainly enjoy these.

We love adding a few next to our pita sub, as a crouton substitute on salads, and they pair perfectly with a glass of chardonnay. We enjoy BotaBox wine, as we've found it to be the lowest in calories and carbs.

Again, Amazon doesn't have the lowest price on ParmCrisps; the lowest we've found is Sam's Club, but if you can't get there, check them out here. 

This FREE App is AMAZING!

Picture
Not only is the MyFitnessPal app easy to use, it offers challenges and rewards to keep you and your health on track. 

Practically every food item is listed, but if you can't find an item, you can easily add it in via the UPC code. Or, add your recipes in.

I have personally purchased all of the items listed above and have personally used them with great results. Your results might differ, of course. These are only my findings that I wanted to share with my subscribers.

    About this page...

    This isn't all we've read / watched / used, but we're adding products little by little, so as not to inundate our readers. Also, we rarely post actual reviews, but if we post a product here, it means we liked it. We don't review or post books or stuff we don't like. So if you like reading bad reviews, sorry, we post very few three-star reviews and never one- or two-star ratings. If we don't like something, we get rid of it. There are too many great toys / books / movies to waste our time reviewing ones we don't like. :)
