There are many reasons why I love a good activated charcoal. Activated charcoal comes in many forms. Capsules, Powder, Liquid and sometimes even in a scrub. The product sent to me is 12oz of Activated Charcoal Powder.  (Side note: Use gloves when using this product, unless you like the look of a coal miner.)  This container comes with a little scoop to make it easier to use.  First I tried it as a teeth whitener.  Unfortunately, over the years and bad habits (Smoking), I don't have many teeth left, So I tortured my friend with this part.  

(After 2 weeks of use)

Teeth Whitening: So the instructions tell you to place a small amount of charcoal powder on a wet, clean toothbrush and brush as you always would.  Then it says rinse well and use it as often as needed.  So here is my opinion here, we did Two tests.  Hum you ABC's as you brush. Try to Avoid your tongue.  (It doesn't taste good) Let it sit for about 45 seconds and THEN rinse. Gives the charcoal time to do its thing.  As you can see, there is a difference.  Do a charcoal brush before you do any whitening product.  They are so bad for your teeth.  



Pore Cleaner & Blackhead Remover: The whole reason why I wanted this product. Every where you look now, there is someone with a product to help with deep cleaning your pores and removing black heads and dead skin.  Here's the difference between those products and this way.  I can not even pronounce half the ingredients in those products.. and you want me to put that on my already sensitive skin.  I think not.  This way.. Two ingredients.  Activated Charcoal and Coconut Oil.  End of story. Its a wrap.  I see people doing it with Non-Toxic Elmers Glue.  While you can do that too, but there is one thing about Charcoal that they don't tell you on the bottles.  Charcoal pulls out all the water from your face. So unless you are drinking at least (4-6) 8 oz glasses of water during the 20-30 mins that you leave this on, I suggest using a product with the charcoal that helps your skin keep its water. Coconut Oil is an all natural aid in a TON of things I do.  ANYWAYS So Add about a tablespoon of coconut oil to something disposable.  Much easier clean up.  Add about a tablespoon maybe a tablespoon and a teaspoon of Activated Charcoal Powder to the cup and a few drops of water. Mix until its completely mixed in together, no bubbles.. a bursting charcoal bubble is no fun. Using a plastic spoon or brush to apply a thin layer of your new paste mask to your whole face.  Let it fully dry, you can try to peel.. sometimes it will sometimes it wont.  It will be ready to come off when the edges start lifting away from your face.  If it doesn't peel, simply wash off with warm water.   Have fun with you new baby's bottom smooth face and check out those pores.  They are to die for.  :)  This product is great for back acne too!!
(WARNING:  This can be addicting, Only use a charcoal mask once a month and more and you will be killing off the good stuff to your face or body)


There are many ways to use this product. Experiment with it.  Each one has different benefits for your well being.  Achieve your Zen. 

They also sell other natural products too.  Check out their website at Zen Principle

This product is available on Amazon average price $18.95 + shipping.  Click Here

NutriBullet System



Since its been awhile and I haven't posted any new reviews.  I thought I'd start with one I have received about a month ago and I LOVE IT.   The NutriBullet System.  All the good stuff blended up into a smoothie type drink.  We have used this for energy boosters.  No more energy drinks.  We have used it for making sure everyone is getting their daily fruits and vegetables in a sweet and delicious drink.  We absolutely LOVE NutriBullet.

(I received the full system, Free of charge for the purpose of this review only. This is my opinion)


There are many blenders on the market, but there is only one NutriBullet. With its compact size, simple assembly, hassle-free cleanup, and exceptional nutrient extraction power, the NutriBullet is the ideal tool for health-conscious individuals looking to fuel their exceptionally busy lives.
The NutriBullet compact design fits easily on any countertop and plugs into any standard outlet. Its unique Extractor Blade twists directly onto all NutriBullet cups, allowing you to extract and drink from the same vessel, which saves time and reduces additional cleanup. All of the NutriBullet's cups are top-rack dishwasher-safe, and its blades clean quickly with a rinse of soap and water.
Some of my favorite recipes are listed below.  Not only good for you but taste great.   I really could just rave about this tiny machine. 





The NutriBullet has some other great recipes inside too!!

If you are interested in purchasing your own system or have questions please visit, NutriBullet
If your not sure which system to choose, This will help. Compare & Buy

If you have any questions for me, please leave a comment below.  I will respond as soon as I can..

Recently I received my very first Bulu Box for review! I was so excited to try something new!
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
Also One Month Free ($30 Value of Online Training)
 
 
 
PowerBar Performance Energy Blends
 
Fuel for your body before, during and after exercise with natural ingredients like banana's and blueberries! Energy Blends make the perfect on the go boosts. Very tasty I might add.
$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

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!!
