A site worth checking out...

Have you ever heard of the site called Tophatter? I hadn't until recently, but I've really grown to like it & would love to share it with you! 

What is it?


Tophatter is almost like an online garage sale. People from all over can buy and sell items, using an auction style platform. Don't worry if you're not into the whole "bidding wars" scenario. Offering both, bidding and buy now options, you get to decide to take a chance or play it safe! There's even a reminder option (to track your favorites)! Think, Ebay. Only more compact, and much easier.

The items for sale range from brand new to gently used. All listing have photos, and detailed descriptions of the item for sale. There's even a list of similar items for sale at the bottom of the item details page. This makes it so much easier to browse products, and find exactly what you're looking for!

How's it work?


Head over to Tophatter.com, and create an account--- It's free! 

Find an item you love. Bid on it, or buy it. Its super simple, and bidding is free! If you win an item, thats when payment is expected. Each bid extends the auction time by 10 seconds, so there's plenty of time to get your bid in!
Payments accepted are: Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover, Android Pay, Apple Pay, and Paypal.

With Tophatter, you will never pay more than the cost of the item (or bid amount) + any applicable shipping. If you find more than one item you love, click the heart icon. This will allow you to follow the items via reminders, and let you update your bids to win! There are no additional or hidden fees to bid or buy. It's so easy, and with so many deals--- It can be a bit addicting!

This site is user friendly, and offers a great options menu. Once you click the options menu, you see: sell, home, reminders, turorial, account, and search.

What do these buttons do?

This button takes you back to the main page. It's the starting page, that lists current auctions & deals.

Reminders
This button allows you to view and manage all of your favorite items. You can place bids on open auctions, or remove past ones. This button make it easy to track the auctions you're most interested in!

Tutorial
The tutorial button takes you to a one page run down of the site. It also houses a customer service quick link, as well as a FAQ link.

Tophatter is pretty freaking awesome.


I've had tons of fun browsing all of the items available for purchase. In fact, I even bought a few things! The process was ridiculously easy, and rather enjoyable. Where else can you bid in live online auctions, get up to 80% off retail prices, all in 90 seconds?! I'm just saying--- Tophatter.com is definitely a site worth checking out.

Drink this and be skinny...

What it is...
Skinny Teatox is a great way to detoxify and cleanse your system. It contains natural health promoting properties to aid in weight loss & give you a little extra pep in your step. Plus, it tastes great! You're literally drinking yourself healthy, one cup of herbal tea at a time!
 
I was honestly pretty skeptical at first. I knew herbal teas could be great tools for health an weight loss, but I didn't honestly think it would do much good for me. When I opened my Skinny Teatox, I was instantly greeted by the smell of peppermint, and herbs. It was such a tantalizing smell! I kind of had to try it...

As you can tell from my intro, Skinny Teatox is a great way to detoxify and cleanse your system. Yes, it also helps with weight loss! However, it is not a substitute for proper nutrition and healthy eating... I took the 14 day Teatox, and it does work!!! I had a cup of tea in the morning, and a cup of detox tea ever other evening (as instructed). What I noticed was that I had a lot more energy thoughout the day, and my appetite was far less than usual. After 7 days, I realized a 5lb weight loss, and all I did was drink some tea?!? At the end of my 14 days, I am down 12lbs, and I feel amazing!!!

I'm not sure what results are typical, so I can't guarantee everyone will have the same experience as I've had... But, I'm fairly positive that you'll love the extra energy, and I you maintain a healthy diet... You'll be sure to shed some lbs too! Anyhow, if you're like me, you're desperate to lose some weight--- and willing to make the program work for you! So, what have you got to lose... Aside from some unwanted weight...???

A 14 Day Teatox Promotes: 
  • Weight loss

Green Smoothies & Vegetarian Recipes




I've always known that fruit and veggies were good for you, but I didn't know just how good... Or that they had some seriously awesome healing and detoxification properties. I didn't know all about fruits and veggies until I read this book; Green Smoothies the Weight Loss & Detox Secret. This book is chock full of information on the health benefits of different fruits and vegetables. Plus, it contains a vast amount of recipes for health smoothies, made with fresh fruits & vegetables. I love that the recipes are all super simple, and explain the benefits the smoothie offers. I also really like that each recipe contains serving size and fat + calorie counts. This is so helpful for someone who's watching what they eat! I received this EBook complementary, for review purposes. I have tried the smoothies in the book, and my favorite is the pumpkin smoothie! It's absolutely delicious! 






Quick. Easy. Meat free. This cookbook is full of amazing vegetarian recipes that will inspire anyone to eat a little healthier! As I read through the different dishes, my mouth began to water. I never knew some of these foods were possible! They sound amazing and taste even better! I've had a chance to make a few of the items featured in this cookbook, and so far I am thoroughly impressed with what I've tried. I received this book complimentary through a promotional event, to read and review, and I am so glad I did! My family is eating healthier and enjoying it --- all thanks to this cookbook!

SM-165 Finger Pulse Oximeter



This oximeter is very accurate, and extremely helpful. Not only for those who have recently been hospitalized, but for asthma sufferers, people with bad allergies, or even in the event you just don't feel good.
It features a nice LED display, that's exceptionally bright, and super easy to read! The button on top repositions the display, so no matter what angle you're looking at it from--- you'll always be able to adjust it and read it! 


Comfort is definitely a factor that was figured into the creation of this product. The cradle for your finger is well padded, and the fit is snug but not confining. Plus: No pinches --- at all!!! This particular model comes with the batteries included. However, to replace the batteries it's very easy. The oximeter takes 2 triple A batteries, and the housing for the batteries removes easily. Just place your finger on the grooves and slide (with slight pressure.) See? The whole process was created with the user in mind. Comfort, ergonomics, ease of use, even portability... This unit includes a carrying case with lanyard to keep around your neck or where ever you choose to keep it! 
I got this particular product as a sample to test and review, and I highly recommend this oximeter to anyone looking to accurately track your heart rate and oxygen levels.










Weight Gurus Smartphone Tracking Digital Body Fat Scale



I've found the perfect scale!

Ever since I decided to get back on track, living a healthier lifestyle, I've been on the hunt for the perfect scale to help me track my weight loss progress. The hunt is over. I have discovered; Weight Gurus, Smartphone Tracking Digital Body Fat Scale. Yes, the heavens parted, and angels began to sing as a beam of light wafted from the sky to caress the scale, and wash it in a heavenly glow... 

I'm not sure how, but I just KNOW this is the scale for me! 

Weight Gurus literally thought of everything when creating this masterpiece. The Smartphone Tracking Digital Body Fat Scale monitors, tracks, and logs EVERYTHING! And it even greets me each morning with a "Hello."

I must admit, I was a bit overwhelmed at first. I mean, all I really needed was a scale that have an accurate weight reading... So, bring able to track my body fat etc. was a bit unnerving. And the first time I weighed myself, when the QR scan code popped up --- I thought I broke the scale!!! This is definitely a product you'll want to read the manual for, before beginning to try and guess at what you're doing (like I did.) 

So here's the skinny on the perfect scale...

First and foremost, it's modern and stylish.  I LOVE how this scale looks!!! It utilizes a very duty tempered glass, which features a scratch resistant, slip resistant, surface. The 4 sensors are reminiscent or highly polished stainless, and the display is backlit in a beautiful electric blue.

As for functionality...I wanted my scale to be accurate, and easy to read. This scales is just that. Plus, it includes health metrics analysis, and smartphone tracking capabilities.  It's also multi-user friendly, and can monitor and store information for up to 8 users!


Having 4 ultra-precise weight sensors...                    This scale can do some pretty amazing stuff. Including: BIA  analysis for body fat, lean mass, water weight, and bone mass. AND it logs it all for you to track via your smartphone! 
*After each use, the scale displays a QR style barcode for you to scan with your smart phone. This is how it transmits and saves all of the information for you!


The Weight Gurus scale features auto step-on , and auto off functionality. This means that when you step in to the scale it starts working immediately, and after you've stepped off  of the scale, it pauses and then shuts off!  Plus, with a maximum capacity of 400 lbs, just about everyone can benefit from using this scale! It also happens to be the only scale I've ever owned that takes AAA batteries vs the standard flat, round, watch batteries! 

I received mine complimentary, to test and review, and I've decided that this is the end all, beat all for me. I have given my other scales away, and this is now my go-to scale for my weight loss journey!
