Hydrate with Detoxwater




For busy moms, health can sometimes be put on the back burner. Often, moms never drink enough water and don’t have time for their everyday beauty regimes. 
Detoxwater, can now be used as your secret weapon for both! It is filled with electrolytes and vitamins, such as vitamin C and a full range of vitamin B. This aloe infused water is a delicious, healthy way to keeping hydrated without feeling guilty – as it only contains 15 calories per serving.
Aloe is used widely in many beauty and health products today, and has a plethora of benefits when ingested. It promotes skin health and aids in anti-aging as well as inflammation.

My Thoughts
This was my first time trying water with aloe in it. I liked the label the most for the Detoxwater because it was low in sugar. Many times "health" drinks are packed full of sugar, but not Detoxwater. It had 4g of sugar per serving. Each bottle was 2 servings, so if drinking the whole thing it was 8g total and 30 calories. Not bad at all.
The term detox made me think this was going to have a detox effect on me. I didn't notice any difference while drinking this or the days after. It didn't cause me to have to use the restroom more or anything like that. It was just a good smooth drink.
My husband and I both tried it, and the liquid being smooth is the first thing we noticed. It went down easy and was refreshing. The Mangoaloe was my favorite, and Original coming in at a close second. I like the PinaMint too and I didn't think I would because I'm not a pineapple fan. However, this wasn't strong in fruity flavors. 
The drinks were refreshing. I usually try to drink water all day but being able to add this in as one of my drinks was a big plus. I really enjoyed the samples I received and would love to get more Detoxwater in the future.

Digestic by Mimonis Review- A 100% Natural Herbal Remedy.




DIGESTIVE DETOX:
Non habit-forming Digestic relieves constipation and boosts overall digestive health naturally

It’s a topic that’s largely missing from the national health conversation.  But constipation can be just as uncomfortable and disruptive to daily life as more talked about issues like headaches, congestion and insomnia.  And it’s practically as common, as constipation affects over 80 million Americans.

Left untreated – or unsuccessfully treated – constipation can become chronic, magnifying the accompanying bloating, pain and generalized discomfort.  Enter Digestic, an all-natural herbal supplement formulated to ease digestion, regulate metabolism, relieve the symptoms of constipation, and most importantly help strengthen and support the digestive system.  Digestic’s proprietary formula is non-habit forming and uses five key all-natural, organic plants and herbs sourced from the globe’s finest purveyors.  These are carefully cultivated, then picked and processed at their peak to maximize their efficacy.

Digestic is manufactured by Mimonis, Inc., a Hackensack, New Jersey-based family-owned business dedicated to studying colon health and developing natural, alternative solutions.   The formula draws upon years of research, incorporating both modern science and ancient remedies that blend herbs and plants known to help digestion and detoxification.

“Digestic provides immediate relief from constipation, gas and bloating, but unlike a laxative, it is not just a Bandaid solution,” says Dr. Joe Raphael, an integrative lifestyle medicine specialist and consultant to Mimonis.  “It works to restore equilibrium to the intestinal eco-system, instead of merely cleaning it out.   As such, it is a powerful integrative lifestyle solution and an alternative to habit-forming laxatives and prescription medications.”

Following are the active ingredients featured in Digestic:



  • ·         PAPAYA is rich in vitamin A, C, E, and K, and a good fiber source. It is also filled with digestive enzymes that help break down waste and reduce inflammation.
  • ·         FENNEL is naturally high in fiber but also contains essential oils that help digestion, break down gastric juices and aid in the excretion of the stool.
  • ·         ALOE works as a lubricant to help stimulate bowel movements, and also fights free radicals, which cause inflammation.
  • ·         TREE WORMWOOD is a Mediterranean medicinal plant proven to relieve constipation, indigestion and related pain, heartburn and flatulence.
  • ·         CARDAMOM is rich in many vitamins, as well as manganese.  It has antioxidant properties that help promote digestive health.


Digestic is gluten-free, vegan, non GMO, certified kosher and uses only organic ingredients.  Users should begin by taking two capsules daily, with dinner.  If needed, dosage may be increased by adding two capsules before breakfast and or lunch. Daily dosage should not exceed six capsules.

My Thoughts:

I've always been intrigued by herbal remedies. Even in college, I've taken courses to see how they affect the human body. With detoxes becoming popular in the health and wellness world, I was interested in giving Digestic a try. After doing my research, I saw that there was nothing but herbs in the supplement. Some of the ones included I've even used before. My mom decided to try this detox with me as well. I was excited to have a girl's health pampering with her! 


The supplement arrived in an adorable bag with information pamphlets attached. My mom and I also made sure to read the back of the bottle as well to see the serving size and ingredients. We saw that the regular serving size was two. The amounts per serving size were: Fennel- 282 mg, Papaya- 235 mg, Tree Wormwood- 141 mg, Cardamom- 141 mg, and Aloe- 141 mg. After finishing up, mom and I decided it give it a try. 

I can honestly say her and I both felt a difference after our first dose of Digestic. It's recommended that people who do not have severe irregularity or negative digestive symptoms should start out slow. I decided to stick to one before moving on to two. After taking only one supplement, I actually felt my stomach muscles contracting. It was the oddest feeling, but it was also pretty cool!

There was a decrease in my normal bloating and I also felt lighter right away. I did not need to take Digestic every day to continue seeing a difference. If I did feel a little extra bloated, I only needed one to help with that. My mom needed to take a couple a day, but she was just as pleased with her results as I was. This was a wonderful cleanse for us!


What I love about Digestic is that there are no additives like many supplements on the market. The only other ingredient besides herbs is the veggie capsule the herbs are kept in, making this nonaddictive. They're soft and easy and swallow. What is also wonderful is that Digestic is non-GMO, organic, vegan, kosher and gluten free. From being able to do this test with my mom, I can say that it is important to start Digestic out slow, learning what works best for your body. I personally only needed one to see results, while my mom took the normal serving size. What works best for one may not work best for another, so take your time learning how much or how little works for you!

Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to do a safe cleanse and/or naturally help their digestive health.

Oil Pulling with GuruNanda



GuruNanda Pulling Oil (www.gurunanda.com/oil-pulling)

Until now, consumers who practice oil pulling have routinely reached for something that's already in their pantry -- for example sesame oil, sunflower oil, or coconut oil. But this new product -- which contains a proprietary blend of all three, plus peppermint oil -- is specifically designed for oil pulling, and it harnesses the individual benefits of all three for a more balanced and effective approach.

In short, oil pulling works to rid the body of toxins that build up from poor diet, environmental factors, sedentary and stressful lifestyles, lack of hydration, etc. These oil soluble toxins get "dumped" into the mouth through the salivary glands, and the pulling oil (which is swished for several minutes and then discarded) takes them out. The result is not only cleaner, whiter teeth and fresher breath. Many users report systemic changes that range from weight loss to increased energy and decreased pain.



To read more about the Ayurvedic principles behind oil pulling, and learn more about how this "detox" can contribute to overall wellness, you can visit www.gurunanda.com/oil-pulling.

My Thoughts

Oil pulling is not new for me. I've done it in the past with just coconut oil, which usually made me want to gag when I first placed the thick oil in my mouth and it had to melt down. When I used it, I was always pleased with the results, but hated the beginning part. GuruNanda pulling oil is in liquid format and comes with some peppermint oil for flavor and I'm sure added benefits.

It's recommended to swish the oil through your mouth for 15 minutes. I usually pull while I shower because I am occupied and not really thinking about it. It had been a few months since I'd oil pulled, so I was excited to use this product. The taste was pleasant, though I didn't like the smell. It somehow reminded me of a dentist office.

I used it several times a week and I did notice the same benefits as when I'd used just coconut oil. My teeth began to whiten and places that had been sensitive in the past, were now not as. If I keep it up, my sensitive teeth will no longer be bothered by cold liquids.

GuruNanda oil is made up of sesame oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, and peppermint oil. This is a product I will keep on hand to use.

I was also sent their convenient travel cups which are a little smaller than a K-Cup.

My Thoughts
I was sent several of their products to review. 

Detox "ahhh"


Eliminates toxins*
Gentle internal cleansing*
Supports liver function*
Naturally Gluten-free & Vegan
30 Days Supply
Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules after a meal once per day as a dietary supplement. For 2-day Detox Program: Take 4 capsules after a meal once per day for 2 days

My thoughts:
I used this product in the 2 day detox program it suggested where I took 4 capsules 2 days in a row after a meal. I choose to take them after dinner time. Next time, I might choose to do it after breakfast. The day after I took the first pills, nothing happened. I took the second dose on day 2 and was a little discouraged nothing was happening. But then during the night, I woke up and my body was ready to detox. I spent a lot of the next day in the restroom and the first part of the next day. Not all day, but several times during the day. After I was finished with the detox, I felt a lightness in my body. Unlike when I've taken a laxative before to clean me out and I didn't potty for a few days, this one didn't mess up my bowel movement schedule.


Belch Digestion


Reduces bloating & gas*
Relieves stomach discomfort*
Naturally Gluten-free & Vegan
30 Days Supply
Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules 10 minutes after a heavy meal as a dietary supplement. Can take up to 4 capsules within 24 hours, if needed
My Thoughts
This was a lifesaver the nights I over indulged in pizza. I'm a clean eater, but every now I then I throw caution to the wind and have some greasy food. I always spend the next day with stomach issues as my body wonders what the heck I did to it. Taking the Belch pills helped a lot. I was still a little gassy, but not the kind that gets painful.


Boing Energy


Boosts energy*
Enhances energy without stimulants*
Naturally Gluten-free & Vegan
Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules after a meal once per day as dietary supplement
My thoughts
I used this product a few times.I did notice a bit more energy when taking it. Perhaps because it's stimulate free, I didn't get the jolt I was expecting with other products where I had the energy to get up and get moving. Instead, I just didn't feel tired while taking this product. I had best results when I took it with lunch so I'd avoid the 3:00 crash I usually feel when I start looking for my BComplex vitmain or some hot tea.


Huh? Mental Focus




Boosters for mental clarity*
Supports concentration*
Naturally Gluten-free & Vegan
30 Days Supply
Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules after a meal once per day as dietary supplement
My Thoughts
I had my husband use this one. He often complains about his lack of focus at work. He reported back to me that he did have a but more clarity and focus while taking this product for the recommended 2 weeks.


Sleep...ZZZ




Relieves occasional sleeplessness*
Promotes restful sleep*
Naturally Gluten-free & Vegan
30 Days Supply
Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules 30 minutes before sleep. Do not use for more than 7 days continuously. Stop use for at least 2 days
