Puritan's Pride Health Supplements Review

I received the following products in exchange for an honest review.

Puritan's Pride is an online marketplace offering hundreds of dietary supplements. Their mission is Healthy Choices for Healthy Living. For over forty years they have been offering the highest quality health supplements at the best value.

At the time of this review, they are having one of the best sales I've seen, Buy One, Get TWO FREE on Puritan Pride brand products!




International Harvest Organic Raw Mulberries


Certified Organic Mulberries Superfruit have a dried fig-like flavor and chewy crunch. Mulberries are an excellent snack with a similar texture to raspberries. 

Mulberries are a great snack food! They are chewy and a little bit crunchy and really good!

International Harvest Organic Raw Goji Berries

Certified Organic Goji Berries are one of the most nutritionally-rich foods on the planet, packed with vitamins, minerals, protein, and antioxidants. Also known as a wolfberry, they are considered a complete source of protein and an incomparable amount of amino acids, vitamins, protein, iron, and other nutrients.
These Goji Berries taste a little like raisins. I was actually surprised that both my 8 year old and my 4 year old tried these AND liked them! It's very rare that my kids want something healthy, the fact that they like this superfood had me sold right away.

Puritan's Pride Acai 1000mg

Berries from exotic locales have often been known for their healthful properties, and Acai, a little gem from the rainforests of Brazil, is one of the most sought-after berries of all. And now, you can experience Acai in a convenient ready-to-take softgel! Our rapid-release liquid softgels ensure that the Acai is released quickly into your digestive system, so you can experience optimal benefits. Contains 1000 mg Acai per serving (two softgels).
Contains natural flavonoids and antioxidants
Supports overall well-being**
Helps enrich the vitality of your body and soul**

I (like many of you) first heard about the power of the Acai Berry on the Dr. Oz show. While this is not the natural form, its the closest that I can get being that I am not local to where they grow. Puritan's Pride sources directly from Brazil and utilizes Acai pulp and provides natural flavonoids and antioxidants.

Puritan's Pride Blueberry Extract 60mg

Go Wild for the Benefits of Blueberries!
Our Blueberry Leaf Extract is standardized to contain 16% chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid possesses antioxidant properties that may help neutralize cell-damaging free radicals.** So go wild for blueberries, and discover the advantages of one of the world's most celebrated fruits.

Blueberries are great for your health but are not always available to everyone while they're fresh. If you can't get them fresh, or just want an extra boost of this great fruit, supplements are an excellent way to reap those benefits.

Cranberry Fruit Concentrate with Vitamins C and E 4200mg

This product has the benefits of concentrated cranberry without the unnecessary sugar and calories. Each of our concentrated (4200 mg) Cranberry softgels provide the equivalent of (8400 mg) of fresh cranberries plus (40 mg) of Vitamin C and 6 IU of Vitamin E. Adults can take two softgels 3 times daily, after meals.

Cranberries are great for you urinary tract health (among various other health benefits).


Puritan's Pride Black Raspberry 300mg

Freeze-dried
Vegetarian
Our freeze-dried Black Raspberry herbal supplement provides natural components of Black Raspberry in a rapid release capsule.** Puritan’s Pride Natural Whole Herb products utilize ground plant parts to provide the natural components found in nature, while the freeze-drying process maintains the naturally occurring nutrients of black raspberries. Vegetarian formula with no artificial color, flavor or sweetener. Includes 60 capsules.

I have to admit that I was unfamiliar with the health benefits of the Black Raspberry. I'm not sure why, since it is native to my area (and much of North America). After a little research I found they contain antioxidants and anthocyanins which may be anti-inflammatory and help protect blood vessels.


Overall I am very satisfied with all of the products that I received. I live in a rural area and don't get to town very often. After buying fresh produce we have to eat it rather quickly before it spoils and then wait to get more on the next trip to town. Using these supplements my family and I can always reap the benefits of fruits and vegetables.

As always, check with your doctor before beginning any new health regimen, especially if you are pregnant or nursing or have any other medical conditions.

Camo Ring #Review

Thank You to Camo Ring for providing me with their products free of charge in exchange for my honest review. 



I was sent a very generous package to base my review. I was excited when I knew it was on the way, but even more so once it arrived! 




I received the 
Two Eyebrow Rings, a Pink Camo Ring and The Buck Ring to base my review. 

The Buck Ring by CamoRing.com

I have gotten SO many compliments on my jewelry. Living in the country, Camo is something we see everyday. Whether it be the local hunters or just someone in their everyday attire. Camo is in here in Middle TN but unfortunately, camo jewelry is just not something we see on a daily basis so of course I was excited to have came across Camo Ring online. I am a bartender so I see many people throughout the day and get asked quiet often where I got my jewelry. 

Here is a little info about them from their site:

CamoRing.com has been custom coating wedding rings and wedding supplies since 2007. CamoRing.com is owned by Northwest HydroPrint www.Northwesthydroprint.com. which provides camo dipping services for firearms, sporting goods, automotive parts and etc. 

They have many different pattern choices as you can see in the image below, so if you're a fan of Camo, they definitely have something to suit you. Each ring is custom coated to order and takes approximately 4 weeks to ship once your order is placed. 


They have many ring designs and metals to choose from, such as:
Silver 0.925
316L Stainless Steel
Titanium
Tungsten Carbide

They do not currently carry Gold, White gold or even Diamonds.


I am extremely pleased with my products from Camo Ring and will definitely be a return customer to order products for my family.

Ozeri WeightMaster II 440 lbs Digital Bath Scale with BMI and Weight Differential Detection #Review

Thank You to Ozeri for providing me with their products free of charge in exchange for my honest review.

I am a big fan of Ozeri and their products. I have worked with them several times in the past and am delighted at each opportunity I get with them. This time I got to review their Ozeri WeightMaster II 440 lbs Digital Bath Scale with BMI and Weight Differential Detection






It Instantly displays your BMI (Body Mass Index), current weight, and your net weight change since your last weigh-in. It also calculates your net weight change from the average of your last 3, 7 and 30 weigh-ins to help provide a comprehensive understanding of your weight. I really love this feature because their is no need for me to try to remember this information. The scale does it for me!


Accurate Weight Tracking with 30 Day Memory -- By measuring your weight once a day, the Ozeri WeightMaster II empowers you to instantly see how your current weight changes from the previous day (e.g. -0.8 lbs), the average of the last 3 days (e.g. -1.1 lbs), the previous week (e.g. -1.8 lbs), and the previous 30 days (e.g. -5.8 lbs), all displayed on an intelligent LCD with color alert technology.

Smart LCD with Color Alert Technology -- For users who want to focus on their weight trend instead of the actual numbers, this scale displays your weight change in color, with a GREEN illumination for weight loss and RED for weight gain, providing a visual form of intuitive feedback so you can see if your weight is trending up or down day to day, over the last 3, 7, and 30 days.

Immediate and Flawless Results -- Performs and displays all calculations on the scale's LCD without complicated synching or data connection failures common to more expensive wireless and Bluetooth alternatives.

The scale weighs up to 440 lbs with auto-recognition technology for 8 unique users at home, at the office, or at the gym. Automatically calibrates with StepOn technology and auto-powers off. Features a slip-resistant grooved ABS exterior reinforced with a tempered glass interior, and non-slip scratch-resistant feet that won't damage flooring. 

Treated with Microban® antimicrobial product protection that disrupts the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria and helps maintain surface cleanliness. Very important to me because I am a FREAK about cleanliness. Especially in the bathroom where germs tend to linger.

My favorite feature of the scale is the BMI display. Many times after I have weighed I find myself looking online for a BMI chart. When I set up my scale, I entered in my height and it figured the BMI with that combined with my current weight. It has really helped me to stay on track with my weight loss goals. When that information is right in your face, it seems to make you want to work harder to reach those goals. Another plus is that it tracks the weight for up to 8 users meaning that my entire household is able to get use of the scale without interrupting someone else's results. 

Overall, I am extremely pleased with my Ozeri WeightMaster II scale. Thank You Ozeri for helping me stay on track with my goals!

Create your own recipe with Gro-ables

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gro-ables for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Globe Tomato photo 12_MG_Tomato_5506_1209002_V01_zps3fb9ae29.jpg
A few weeks back I wrote about a new product from Miracle-Gro called Gro-ables. They are a pre-packaged seed pod that makes it incredibly easy to grow your own herbs and veggies from seed. It’s designed for the younger consumer, or people who are new to gardening but have always wanted to try growing their own food. They are perfect for the beginning gardener or for someone who has very limited gardening space such as those living in an apartment. 
Since posting the original post my pods have not sprouted yet but I am waiting patiently! I cannot wait to make more homemade salsa this year with my harvest! I have such a simple and easy recipe that is ready in less than 15 minutes. 
Easy Homemade Salsa
3 cups peeled and chopped Tomatoes 
3 Tsp Jalapeno 
Pinch of Fresh Cilantro
Add all ingredients into a food processor until combined, chill and serve! 
This is a huge hit in our home as all of my children love chips and fresh salsa as an after school snack and the best part is, I feel good about knowing that they are eating something we have grown at home. 
Gro-ables makes it so easy to create your own foods. They have 17 different varieties of pods so the possibilities are endless. I have found most of the different varieties at my local Wal-Mart for only $1.25 a pod! 
For more information on Gro-ables check out the informative video below!
