14-Day Detox Tea To Jumpstart Your Weightloss

This 14-day detox tea from Hint Wellness tastes great. I started using it about a week ago and I have about a week left to go. While I do not know if it works for weight loss, I do know that the ingredients are well known to help stimulate weight loss.

The ingredients are: honey bush, senna leaf, goji berries, rosehips, lemongrass, dandelion, sarsaparilla, ginger, orange peel, plantain, milk thistle, lemon balm, fennel, and natural flavoring.

Dandelion and milk thistle are liver detoxifiers and tonics. Ginger helps with inflammation. Senna is a natural laxative. I am not super familiar with the effects of the rest of the ingredients except that they taste good.

The manufacturer claims that this tea detoxifies your body and helps you to lose weight. I know the herbs in the tea will help detoxify, and possibly help lose weight, but the natural flavoring is one that I am not very comfortable with. It is a generic term and can be harmless, or it can hide many bad ingredients.

This detox tea can be used for both men and women.  But I have to admit it is kinda tricky to make the tea. It comes loose leaf, so you have to either have a tea infuser or a specific type of tea kettle, or a French press. I had a tea infuser that I used. But it was still difficult to get the loose tea in it, and on the 3rd day, I ended up breaking my tea infuser :(



Since then, I have been using my French press. The French press is easier to get the loose tea into, but it means I have to clean it out after each cup, which is a chore. I just want to share my experience. It DOES taste great, and I love a good cup of tea, especially at night before I go to bed. I can try to relax (I am still working on this whole "relaxing" thing) and sip the herbal tea.

Crystal Wash: No Dyes. No Chemicals. No Perfumes. Clean Clothes - GIVEAWAY!

GIVEAWAY -- To Enter To Win a Set Please Scroll To The Bottom!

This is NO JOKE. These Crystal Wash "balls" are AMAZING. I could not believe it myself, not at all. I mean, it is hard to think that we can get our clothes clean without any soap at all, right? But we can!

How does it work? How does a "ball" with little crystals inside make a difference? 

 

 

It's all about the pH!

The pH level of laundry water affects how your clothes get clean. If the water is either overly acidic or overly alkaline it can damage delicate articles of clothing, cause bright colors to fade, and cause clothing to still seem dirty even after washing (the "tinge"). Most detergents on the market have a pH level between 6.5 – 9, but they have to use chemicals to achieve these levels.

The logic behind Crystal Wash is that the Bio Ceramics provide two key benefits in the laundry water...





1. Deep Cleaning: They produce far infrared rays that effectively reduce negative ions in the water of your laundry machine, which raises pH level to 8.5 or greater. This process shrinks the water molecule clusters to a size that allows dirts and soils to be soaked free naturally.  

2. Disinfecting: Additionally, the Bio Ceramics create Hydrogen Peroxide which disinfects the clothes, kills bacteria and odor. 

These special Bio Ceramics were developed using various minerals with very effective antibacterial and anti-oxidant properties.

I was able to successfully clean my clothes! Both my whites and my colors! I was amazed. I have been using my homemade laundry soap for years, and while it gets the job done, it isn't anything amazing. I also used soap nuts and they worked decent, too.

But these Crystal Wash Balls got minor stains out (we really don't have many stained clothes to try it out on) and boy oh boy did it get the smells out! Everything was fresh and clean.

I have a Norwex cloth that I use in the kitchen, but it tends to always have a musty smell, even after washing. It was the first thing I smelled when I took the load out of the dryer.... and it smelled AWESOME! No funky smell to it. I am sold! (I use dryer balls, not dryer sheets as the dryer sheets are super toxic).

Definitely a way to save money!

They are only about $50 and they last for 1,000 loads. For me that is almost 5 years!

This is great for:

• Those with multiple chemical sensitivities or allergies to detergents, such as babies who get rashes due to the laundry soap used on their clothing
• Folks who want to live a cleaner lifestyle with less toxins
• People who want to be environmentally friendly
• "Preppers" who want a re-usable way to clean laundry off-grid
• People who want to save money!

 

Time for a GIVEAWAY!!

If you would like to enter, all you have to do is comment below telling me how many loads of laundry you do per week, and then visit their Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/CrystalWash2.0 and "like" it. 

We will choose a winner on March 7th (Saturday). Good luck!!!

Totally Amazing Natural Deodorant - GIVEAWAY INCLUDED!

(Scroll to the bottom to enter to win!)

 Purelygreat is a Canadian company that provides all natural handcrafted products. I was able to review their deodorant -- an unscented variety and the lavender cream scent.

There are only three ingredients used in this deodorant, and then the added essential oils for the ones that are not unscented.

One of the things that will probably be the most unusual for you is the application. It is not in a normal deodorant stick -- you have to use your fingers to apply. That is fine by me!

I have not used anti-perspirant for years, because of the toxic ingredients that can cause increased risk of breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease (the aluminum!!)

So I have been using either the mineral spray (without alunimum) or the Pit Stick from my friend who makes it. I also have done just plain neuralizer gel with essential oils (also using my fingers to apply), and even using a squeezed lime (which works surprisingly well!)

What I have found is that Purelygreat deodorant WORKS....  Here is my experience:

1. I put it on before using far infrared wraps that make you sweat like crazy. I did sweat a lot, but DID NOT SMELL!!

2. It has baking soda as an ingredient, but even after shaving, I have no irritation at all.

3. I smell my armpits in the morning (truly!) and found that I can put this on every other day! (Sometimes I shower every other day, but sometimes I do shower twice a day, like yesterday when I showered in the morning, and then showered after I did the far infrared wraps).

4. It actually smells GREAT! I have used the lavender scent and will have my husband try the unscented kind, and if that works, I will get him the men's version.

5. You only use a tiny bit! It spreads easily.

6. You want to stir it with a tiny spoon or stick (toothpick or skewer?) first, as it is all natural and sometimes the ingredients tend to separate without any toxic binding agents.

7. You still will sweat, you just won't smell

8. It doesn't stain your underams in your shirts!
