Smart Mouth

 
 
12 Hour Fresh Breath!
 
SmartMouth line of products, was established in the mid-1990s, in St. Louis, Missouri. Its founder, Dr. Marvin Cohen, recognized a need for real solutions to a real problem: bad breath. As Chairman and Co-Founder of Triumph Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Cohen has remained committed to the education and resolution of bad breath.  No other product is able to truly provide fresh breath as long, as only SmartMouth works to eliminate and prevent bad breath gases from forming. SmartMouth's revolutionary and patented zinc ion technology was invented by Dr. Israel Kleinberg, Chairman of Oral Biology and Pathology, at the State University of New York, Stony Brook. With this groundbreaking technology, Triumph Pharmaceuticals has worked to educate the world about this truly amazing breakthrough, providing all day fresh breath
 
 
What is bad breath?
 
Bad breath. No matter how much brushing, flossing or swishing we do, it always comes back. From stale breath throughout the day to the dreaded morning breath, everyone suffers from bad breath each day. Because of this, it is only natural that many people are searching for a bad breath cure. Most of these so-called bad breath cures only mask bad breath or provide you with a temporary fix, lasting only 30 to 60 minutes. To get all day fresh breath, you first have to understand the cause of bad breath.
 
 
 
 
What causes bad breath?
The creation of bad breath is a natural and ongoing process in our mouths each day. There are millions of germs in our mouths which break down protein particles that are always present in our saliva. This results in the production of foul smelling sulfur gas. This gas is what we perceive as embarrassing bad breath.
Though the problem is virtually universal (100% of the population has experienced the problem daily in the form of morning breath, and at least 10% suffer from a more serious bad breath problem), it is a social taboo that can interfere with every relationship.
 
 
How to get fresh breath all day long?
 
The only answer to eliminating and preventing bad breath long term is SmartMouth Mouthwash, for clinically proven 12-hour fresh breath. SmartMouth Mouthwash uses a patented zinc-ion technology to eliminate existing bad breath and prevent it from coming back...for at least 12 hours.
 
 
My Hubby and I recently tried Smart Mouth.
 
 
We bought the 12 hour fresh breath activated mouthwash!
 
100% ALCOHOL FREE!! No Burning!
SAFE FOR DIABETICS!
Will not stain teeth, dentures or crowns.
Dentist recommended
Safe for ages 6 and older.
 
So the hubby and I tried it together.  He has serious bad breath, so bad I couldnt face him when he talked and I have slight bad breath.
 
There are two bottles and a little cup.
4 - pumps of one bottle - green
4 - pumps of the other bottle - white
into the cup.
Swish for 30 seconds, then gargle and spit!
After we did a breath check, I was shocked how well it worked.  I mean he openned his mouth wide, I cringed and prayed, he breathed on me, and no smell.. except the minty fresh breathe.  I was amazed.
 
We both use it once in the morning and once at night. Keeps us fresh all day. 
Now we smoke, so you get a minty smoke smell. 
Its meant to cover bad breath, not smoke.
 
But for those with all day bad breath this is definitely for you!
 
We have used it for about a week now, and boy do I wish we started this along time ago.  I cant believe after a week, our breath is fresh and minty, no smell what so ever.  I believe that long term use of Smart Mouth might cure bad breath all together.. I guess we will have to continue to use it to find out.
 
Smart Mouth gets a high five and two thumbs up!!

Here is what I got!
 
October's Bulu Box
(Weight Loss)
 
What's included:
2 - PowerBar Performance Energy Blends
1 - 14 pill bottle of Shapeology
1- Ripped Cream
1- Erba Vita Acid
3- Zellies Xylitol Gum & Mints
1- Vivarin

$13.59/6 servings
 
 
Shapeology Burn Blend
 
Most Thermogenics just help blast fat. Shapeology sends it running. With Clinically proven weight loss ingredients. Shapeology mimics the effects of high metabolism to help you lose weight fast! Plus, its liquid delivery system means you can feel it working imediately!
I started taking this a few days ago. Felt a little dizzy the first day, but I have been ok since.
I will add in my update as to how much weight lost after 14 pills taken!!
$39.99/60 capsules
 
 
Ripped Cream
 
Don't settle for weak coffee- make it as ripped as you are!
Ripped Cream is the first ever high - protein creamer packed with vitamin D3 and 11 amino acids!!
My fiance tried this one.  He tried it in his morning coffee. We couldnt get all of it to break up, so he was not a fan of lumps in his coffee. Also he wasn't to keen on the flavor.  But he did notice the energy he had throughout the day. Which is a big plus!  He said he was try it again!
$11.99/8oz
 
Vivarin
 
Driven by caffeine, Vivarin is a safe and effective method to keep your mind and body alert and focused. Use it in the morning instead of coffee or before a workout to maximize efficiency.
I gave this a shot since I like energy drinks.  This packs a punch, but alot slower.  Unfortunately, It made my heart race. That I wasn't a fan of. I thought it was just me, so I had my fiance try it.  His took longer, but he didnt have the racing heart, but he had a crashing point. All he wanted to do was sleep.  Thats not good! 
Now this is our opinion only! Others might not have the same reactions.
$11.90/40 Count
 
 
Zellies Xylitol Gum & Mints
 
Xylitol, found in Zellies Gum and Mints, rids the mouth of sticky harmful bacteria while promoting growth of tooth - protective bacteria.
So far, I have tried only the Spearmint Gum one, and it tastes no different than regular spearmint gum. Which I am guessing is a good thing.
$12.50/100 servings
 
Erba Vita Acid
 
A balanced PH creates a health balance within your digestive system to maximize your metabolism and keep your body happy and regular. Create a feeling of whole body wellness by keeping your digestive system in check.
I am going to take this one after I am done Shapeology. I will post an update on my opinion!
$15.59/30 Servings.
 
Online Training

TheraPearl & Giveaway



TheraPearl is the doctor-designed, drug-free way to relieve pain and inflammation associated with muscle strains and sprains, swelling from surgery, spa treatments and allergies, and a host of other pain-producing conditions.





I was recently sent TheraPearl's Sports Pack for review.  I love TheraPearl.  I like that I can heat it and make it cold all in the same pack.  These little gel beads absorb cold and heat well.  About 30 seconds in the microwave and you have a nice heat pack that last about an hour.  It takes a little longer for cold therapy, freeze at least 2 hours.  But the best thing about it, when TheraPearl is used for cold therapy, it stays smooth & pilable unlike old ice packs that get hard and pointy.

I wanted to review this product, because like most, I am too getting older. My lower back and my knee are only getting worse.  Especially on rainy days.  I was glued to my TheraPearl the first week I got it.  Used mainly as a heat back. It soothes tired achy muscles and makes it easier for me to get around.  It has become a very helpful tool. 

I have said it once, I will say it again, I love TheraPearl.
I give it a 10 out of 10.
Priced Right!
Durable!
Easy to use!
Reccomending to all my friends!



TheraPearl comes in all sizes.  I had received the Limited Time Pink Sports Pack, to support Breast Cancer Awareness!  Only $11.99.

My Favorite Make up!






I decided to do a review on some of my Avon products.  Even though some of the products are discontinued I still love them.
 
First, My favorite, Glimmersticks Eye Liner!!
Comes in a bunch of colors!
I got the sample set for Christmas last year.
 
 
My set includes:
 
Smokey Grey (Which has a green tint on me)
Blue Flare (I marked the picture wrong)
Plum Pearl
Bronze
 
 
I Love Glimmersticks!
This has become my favorite liner. Its nothing like drugstore's liners. I still think its better than Covergirl and N.Y.C.
I love the fact that where I put it, thats where it stays.
I have the blackest black also, which is the darkest black I can find.
Some of the colors I have found out that have a big too much sparkle/shine to them.
Others are perfect.
I do a combo liner with the blackest black and the blue flare.  The blue gives my look the pop look.
 
I never have had any complaints with Avon Glimmersticks!
 
Also in the picture is my favorite, Lip Gloss, Called Hollywood Lights - in Berry.
 
 
I can't rave enough about this lip gloss! I wish they never discontinued it.  Some flea markets and other stores still sell this product so maybe you will get lucky.
Easy to put on. Not Messy. Smooth.
 
Say your at a club, its dark & you want to do a touch up?
Not only does this lip gloss come with a mirror on the outside..
 

 
The best part...TADA  Let there be light!
 

I swear this was the smartest invention.
 
But like I said, sadly they discontinued Hollywood Lights.
 
 
 
Also in the above picture I have my semi favorite, Precision Glimmers Eye Shadow.
I like it but I don't. It takes a few passes (dips) for the color to be dark/bold, but unfortunately, if you press to hard, what you already put on, comes right off.
It is definitely good as a highlight color.
See its got this sponge like applicator, that slides into the bottom where the eye shadow is, it makes sense but doesn't work well.
I like it because of the color. Its a Pretty Blue. After everything I just said, I still put up with all the extra crap. LOL
 
 
Hope you enjoyed a small little taste of some of my favorite products.
Please remember this is my opinion! I do not need yours!

5 Hour Energy



About 5 hour Energy

ORIGINAL 5-hour ENERGY® SHOT

Now in five flavors!

Grape, Pomegranate, Berry, Lemon-lime and Orange!


Original 5-hour ENERGY® was introduced in 2004. Light, portable and effective, 5-hour ENERGY® shots quickly became the no nonsense way for working adults to stay bright and alert*. It’s packed with B-vitamins and amino acids. It has zero sugar, zero herbal stimulants and four calories. 


5-hour Energy comes in a long line of different kinds,

including decaf and extra strength!!



RECOMMENDED USE: Drink one half (1/2) bottle for moderate energy. Drink one whole bottle for maximum energy. Do not exceed two bottles of 5-hour ENERGY® shots daily, consumed several hours apart. Use or discard any remainder within 72 hours (three days) after opening. Refrigeration not required.

CAUTION: Contains caffeine comparable to a cup of the leading premium coffee. Limit caffeine products to avoid nervousness, sleeplessness, and occasional rapid heartbeat. You may experience a Niacin Flush (hot feeling, skin redness) that lasts a few minutes. This is caused by increased blood flow near the skin. 


Do not take if you are pregnant or nursing, or under 12 years of age. If you are taking medication and/or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before use.

 
Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine. 





A few days ago, I had received my 5-hour energy product in the mail, to try out and write a review.  I waited for a day like today where I was extra tired from lack of sleep to give this thing a shot.


Boy was I surprised, It actually worked!


Took about 20mins for it to cycle threw my system, but I felt alive and awake. I wasn't sleepy at all.   Now I didn't time myself, which maybe I should have, but each persons body system is different. Mine, well I'm guessing the shot of energy lasted me a little more than 5 hours.  Not by much, but a little.  I never hit a crash point.  I never felt the need to take another.  Which was what I was worried about.  In the passed, I have had repeated bottles of like monster or rockstar, just to last me through the day.  There was no need for any of that.  I like how convenient it is. I carried it in my pocket until I hit that point of either this or sleep. :) I'm glad I chose the energy shot.


The flavor I got was pomegranate.  Has a sweet but interesting taste.  No after taste at all.  I love pomegranate anything, but i think this was a little too sweet.  I think next time I have a 5-hour energy that I will go for like the orange or lemon-lime.  Give that a shot and hopefully it won't taste like it did. 

It wasn't a nasty taste, just sweet.

I have already told my friends to definitely give 5-hour energy a shot.

Most have come back and told me that it worked for them too, instead of energy drinks themselves.


The best part about it all, you can buy them just about anywhere.

Wawa, 7-Eleven, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Walmart and many more.


Definitely recommending this product!!!

Mayesa Cacao ~ Healthy Chocolate Drink

Mayesa
"A Healthy Chocolate Drink"
 
 
I’m Abby and I have a passion for all things healthy!  From fitness to nutrition; to wellness of body, mind and spirit…I’ve studied it, I’ve lived it and I’m excited to pass it along. To learn about Mayesa, Click Here!! 
 
 
 
Mayesa is a dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free beverage made from organic cacao (the purest form of dark chocolate).  Full of Cacao, Protein (Non-GMO) and Cinnamon for not only great taste but to help stablize blood sugar. Great for Diabetics!
 
 
I recently received 2 of  Mayesa's Cacao Original Healthy Drinks!  I was extremely eager to try this being that I am Lactose intolerant.  Not fun, but very happy to try something for once with NO Dairy!!  I had my first one in the morning to replace my coffee.  Very tasty and much better for me than my morning routine. Gave me energy that lasted most of the day. After only one of Mayesa's drinks I was more awake, than my 4 cups of coffee through out the day.
I still can't get over the taste.  Its like a chocolate explosion in my mouth. lol Sounds weird but true!
One my second day, I used it as a meal replacement.  Well sort of.  I didn't have a full lunch is what I meant. So instead of my usual salad with chicken and nuts and spinach, I ate a Clif nutrition bar and drank my Mayesa shake.  I drank my shake first and I was quite surprised that after my shake I wasn't really hungry any more.  Thats a plus!!
 
For Taste:  I give it a 4 out of 5.
Only because after I drank the whole thing, i notice a slight left behind after taste, but it won't stop me from drinking more of them.
Size:  5 out of 5.
Perfect Portion!
Price: about $4.00 in store or $36.00 for case of 18.
Not bad at all.
 
Waiting to try the Mint Flavor they have!
Looks Delish and I love Mint!!
 
If your insterested in trying Mayesa
 
 
 
 
Wegman's currently sells Mayesa Cacao!
