Propresser Professional Garlic Presser Review

Hello everyone! 

I am back for another review! I have MANY more reviews coming in video and blog format so make sure to keep your eyes out for pictures and more!

Today I am reviewing the Propresser Professional Garlic Presser by Orblue! As I always tell you I am going to start out with information about the product,then go into my personal experience with the product. This Propresser Garlic mincer and Ginger Press is Stainless Steel and a nifty authentic kitchen gadget! When you order this product from amazon,you will receive a free bonus home Chef EBook as well!

I love how the Propresser looks outside of the box! It is all shined up stainless steel that from the grip of it,feels like it will stand the test of time for a while! It did not feel like it could be easily broken,and I really liked that. I went and found my garlic so I could start getting the cloves out to put this Garlic Press to the test!

The Propresser was not stiff moving the parts,they were pretty flexible. Now I wanted to be honest that I have muscle weakness sometimes from Fibromyalgia,so being able to squeeze a lot does not do my hands well,so I did have a little bit of a struggle squeezing down on it to push the garlic out. I had my 16 year old son do it, and he was able to get it to come out a little easier,but he had a little bit of a struggle as well. Also with this Propresser, you can stick it in with the shell on,and it removes the shell so the only thing pushing through the holes is just the garlic clove you put in!

(this is after the first clove with shell on.It left the shell in the propressor and I pulled it out)

 We did the whole garlic I purchased from the store,and when I cleaned mine out,it was fairly easy to do that as well. I had a little bit of trouble getting the garlic to clear out of the holes rinsing with hot water and scraping,but it was not SUPER difficult to manage or I would honestly say so. I did get everything to come out of it though within a couple of minutes! 

There was no garlic juice squirting everywhere the way I thought it would. It may have been the type of garlic I purchased not sure,but I have a bowl of garlic that has been pressed out to use in my recipes,so I am excited to put my freshly minced garlic to use!

If you like pressing out your own minced garlic or minced ginger manually,this is the product for you. A little bit of advice when using your Garlic Press,put in smaller pieces if you get resistance while trying to press it through if you find the squeezing to much on your hands. Cut your garlic clove in half to make it easier to handle. I highly recommend this product if you want to feel like a fancy chef in your kitchen using this fantastic kitchen gadget! Video demonstration coming soon! Thank you for reading my blog review,and if you have any questions,feel free to email me at GaylenesReviews@aol.com

Adovia Sulfur Soap for Acne, Blackheads and Oily Skin with Dead Sea Salt - 100% Natural Review

Hello everyone!

To start off, I am going to give you the description of what this soap does and tell you what my opinion is right after.

Adovia Sulfur Soap for Acne,Blackheads and Oily Skin with Dead Sea Salt and is 100% Natural.

This soap is specific for Acne prone, oily skin and is not recommended for dry or sensitive skin.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

• - Adovia sulfur soap, is highly enriched with minerals and sulfur from the Dead Sea.
  - Your skin's natural moisture levels are balanced and optimized with Olive Oil, Dead Sea minerals and Aloe Vera extract.
  - Sulfur has Antiseptic, Anti-Fungal and Antibacterial properties
  - This soap thoroughly cleanses your face and body and leaves your skin gentle and smooth.
  - Our sulfur soap has a 3% sulfur content.

Ok,now that I have the facts out of the way,let me tell you about my experience with this soap.....

This soap is AMAZING!!!! This product is unlike any other soap I have EVER used in my LIFE! This is not me over exaggerating or anything like that,it is truly a miracle worker! I honestly looked at it and thought,this is another fly by night soap that is going to feed me a load of bull saying it does all of these things,stick an expensive price tag on it, and just take me for my money and laugh all the way to the bank,but THIS product is worth spending money on!

It looks normal and has no scent to it what so ever,and I will be honest, I LOVE a great scented soap to enjoy,but this soap made me not even think of that. I was concentrating more on the great job it was doing on my skin! I started my evening ritual of washing my face so I can put on my facial serum and moisturizer after a nice clean wash,and I lathered up my washcloth and rubbed the Adovia in really well in circular motions all over my face and neck,and gave a little bit of extra pressure on spots that were problems on my face. My skin was beginning to look a little rough so I did not have my hopes up to what my skin would look like after rinsing this off.

I rinsed the soap off my face,and the darker spots on my skin were almost gone from just using this soap one time! I can about imagine after using it for a week,what my skin is going to look like! It gave me a fresh clean complexion on my face and neck area,and I was VERY pleasantly suprised! No more embarrassing dark patches,because I used mud mask,clay mask,facial scub with scrubbing microbeads and more and nothing seemed to help,and then along came this bar of soap that has changed my LIFE! If you have dark spots,acne,blackheads,oily skin, and more,this is the product you want to use to get rid of those types of skin issues! 

Oh I forgot to mention that this soap can be used on your entire body! I plan to sit back in a nice hot tub of water and use this soap on my skin to see the magic happen all over me! Purchase this product,you will NOT regret it!

Garcinia Cambogia Supreme 1400 Mg with 80% HCA Review

Hello everyone! 

This is my review on Garcinia Cambogia Supreme which is 1400 mg  with 80%  HCA and considered a dietary supplement. There are 180 capsules in this bottle which on the directions tells me I can take 2 capsules once a day,and for maximum strength take 2 capsules twice a day. For best results take 2 capsules 20-30 minutes before a meal with 8 oz of water or as directed by your physician, and do not exceed 4 capsules within a 24 hour period. I mention these details so you can decide on how much you want to buy and more.
This is a clickable link to the site listing to check them out as well! : 
http://www.lifefoodpro.com/garcinia-cambogia-extract-80-hca-maximum-effect-1400-mg-180-capsules-third-party-tested-approved-hca-concentration/ 

The Garcinia Cambogia Supreme with 80% HCA(also made in the USA) has no preservatives,and is a weight loss supplment extracted from genuine Indian Garcinia Cambogia fruit rind,it has been shown to help reduce body fat and suppress the appetite while safely raising "feel good" serotonin levels. This product also contains no artificial flavors,soy,wheat,shellfish,peanuts, and dairy! It was also made in an FDA registered facility! I have put up a picture below of the warnings for not giving to children under 18 etc., so it is very important to consult your physician before taking these to make sure you are not taking something to cause you issues or anything. Not saying it will,but it is always safe to check no matter what you start taking.

As you can see in the picture below that the capsules have a light tan color to them,and I love to know everything about what I am taking so I try to read up the good and bad on a product,and personally talk to people if possible about their experience.

 One thing you must definitely watch out for when reading reviews is the company representing most of the bad reviews. You cannot knock one down for making the same product with a different in how they make it,potency of the product and more, so when you read up on this product,there are multiple companies out there making something similar,but there is a difference between their products. The person could have easily gotten a hold of a product that was so poorly made,it did nothing for them and label all Garcinia Cambogia bad and unaffective,which is what I read on quite a few postings,but I did not see any bad reviews for this particular company I am doing a review on which is Life & Food. Their website to check them out more is www.lifefoodpro.com 

I have been taking this product for a few weeks now and so far so good! I feel I have been losing a few inches and pounds after taking this! I have not lost a bunch of miracle weight(as it takes quite some time for medication to get into my system and start working like close to a month or so),but I have to take it easy due to the fact I am on medication so I am on the lowest dosage which is taking 2 capsules once a day. 

I will be talking to my doctor and asking if I decide to go to twice a day(which can be done according to the bottle directions) will it affect me in a bad way,because I do not want to over do it. Just in case I need to go up and it feels like I am needing a little extra. I have felt a little loss of appetite(but I am a plus size woman so it may take more or just my body adjusting to it better) and I love to make home cooked meals,which are not always the healthiest,but I LOVE to cook.

 I usually can get a little more then I have been eating and I have not wanted to go back for seconds or snack as heavily as I used to. I cant wait to go back to the doctor in about 2 more months to get my weight and see where I am at and how much I have lost!

I have a scale at home,but I feel the doctors office is more accurate due to I always end up getting mixed scale results between the doctors office and home. I am slowly but surely getting the weight off,but I am definitely not expecting a miracle to lose 30 pounds or more in 30 days. I was told if you lose to much weight to fast,it can go back on equally just as quick,so I am careful on how much I am losing. I am more then happy to take the weight off gradually then rushing it off.

Something else important that I was told to look at is looking for 50% or more HCA, and this product has 80% HCA so that is a very good thing! HCA stands for hydroxycitric acid and is extracted from the rind of the small tropical fruit garcinia cambogia. Once extracted from the rind,it serves as an effective dietary supplement that has been show to suppress the appetite and block the storage of fat in the body. In addition to its weight loss purposes,it has also been used in traditional Hindu medicine for the treatment of stomach disorders,rheumatism,intestinal worms, and more.

I will be doing an update on my weightloss and affects this has on me in another few weeks so stay tuned for more to come,but from what I have experienced so far,this product is great and on its way to making a new healthy me! Highly recommended to anyone to start out. Just start out on 1 pill if you have to and work your way up to make sure you do not go over your tolerance level.

My Influenster Vitality VoxBox Review!

I received these products I am about to review for free from Influenster in exchange for my review! My opinions expressed are 100& solely my own.

I wanted to also mention this is my first VoxBox! I have received a couple of coupons from Influenster to go to the store and get a product to review,but no boxes yet until now! EEEK! I am so excited and looking forward to hopefully receiving more!

This is the Vitality VoxBox with hashtag #VitaVoxBox to find out what everyone in this campaign received in their box. I received the following products:

1.First Degree Advanced Burn Cream-Retail price ranging between $5.97-$8.99  #BurnsHappen

2. Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Tampons 16 count- Retail price $3.99  #PlayOn

3. Elizabeth Arden Flawless Future Powered by Ceramide Caplet Serum-Retail Price $60 for 1.0 fl oz #FlawlessFuture

4. Pure Leaf Ice Tea-Retail Price $ Unknown-(at my local Kroger I saw them for a couple dollars) #loveofleaves

5. Softlips Cube-Retail Price $3.49 #GetCubed

6. Bikini Ready Energy Gummies-Retail Price $14.99  #bikinireadylifestyle

This box was so awesome with so many different things to help with health and more covering bases for burns,weight loss,energy and just all the Vitality you can use!

I will start out with the First Degree Advanced Burn Cream-

Not only does this product help heal burns,it helps with cuts,scrapes and more! I received a cut in the kitchen,and it removed a little bit of skin and my husband got burned at work by accidentally having deep fryer grease splash on his hand. It was only there for a very short time,but it was long enough to create some burn marks on his hand. I used this cream on his hand after trying another one first,and it was taking FOREVER to heal and just did not seem to work! I told him I had cream he should try that is for burns and more,so I put it on his wounds and within a few days it was pretty much gone! Now when you look at his hand,you cannot even see where the burn was at!

When I get hurt like a cut or burn, it takes a long time for me to heal for some reason. I put the First Degree Advanced Burn Cream on,and my scar is over 90 percent gone,and I have only been using it a few days! Amazing product! Highly recommended to anyone looking to quickly heal!

Now onto Playtex Sports Fresh Balance Tampons-

The small sleek design and applicator are very smooth going in with no uncomfortable feeling all day long until you are ready to change again! They feel so light and flexible,you almost forget they are in,which is a definite plus due to how other tampons feel very uncomfortable which is why I switched to pads for the most part in the past. This is a tampon I can wear with confidence that will fit to my body and has odor protection which many women can appreciate! Highly recommended for tampon lovers everywhere!

Next is Elizabeth Arden Flawless Future Powered by Ceramide Caplet Serum-

This is not like any other serum I have ever seen! The first thing that I notice is the bottle  with pearls in it surrounded by clear liquid. That is when I knew I had the chance to try something extremely special,and I was so happy I was selected to be one of the people to do so! I pushed down on the pump attached to the top and it comes out with a shimmering pearl color,yet clear and does not go on your face looking like glitter either. It looks like a clear pearl cream that rubs into your skin smoothly. I felt like I was taking liquid pearls and rubbing them across my skin! It is a must have for any woman wanting to start on early age defying methods and even for those that are already there with fine lines and wrinkles,this product helps improve that all, Smooth even skin tone and texture with more suprises,how can you want anything more! Go check it out ladies! You will not be disappointed!

Now onto Pure Leaf Ice Tea-

I love a great tasting sweet tea,and this is a tea I have not had the chance to try yet,but I am glad that Influenster introduced me to it by letting me try it for free! It looked in my box and I saw it was unsweetened,and my little flags went off like I already knew I would not like it or something. I have tried other unsweetened teas in the past and it has not been a great experience to say the least. I opened up the bottle to taste it right out of the box due to it felt a little cool so I figured I would not be drinking warm tea. It threw me back a little with tasting the real brewed tea flavor,but it was not as bad as I thought it was! I put the rest of the bottle in the fridge to get cold since I love drinking my ice tea more cold then hot,and when I took it out and drank some more, I LOVED IT! The cool,refreshing unsweetened tea hit the spot! If you are into teas and you love unsweetened teas,this should be on your list to try,and even if you do not like sweet tea, I think this will be something you add to your list of "to drink teas."

Next is the Softlips Cube-

I  received the Pomegranate Blueberry which smells amazing! I love the casing to this product as well! It makes you feel beautiful and girly with a pretty and classy looking lip care case. When I first put it on my lips, I felt a smooth silky feeling being applied and the more I worked it in,the better it felt and began to get rid of my chapped lips. Within a minute or 2,my chapping was smoothed out and completely gone! It looks good,smells great and works well. The only thing I do not care for is having to apply every couple hours. I figured with everything it had in it,that it would give long lasting protection,but it gave a couple hours or a little over of it. Beyond that,this product is awesome!

And Last but not least the Bikini Ready Energy Gummies-

I am always nervous about trying to take a new product like this even when it says it is good for you and all natural,because lets be honest, some companies like. I was nervous about getting jittery and anxious and I definitely do not need that right now at ALL. I need something to give me a natural amount of energy,but not like bouncing off the walls and come crashing down hard later on that day before I am even done doing what I need to do. This is a healthy way to get the energy boost you need with giving you a vitamin B-12  energy boost. It gives you just enough to feel like you drank about a 1/2 cup of coffee.Even though they taste great,they are definitely guilt free to take and slowly paces you through the day. I have taken these quite a few times,and I will continue to do so. It is the only thing I have taken that has not given me the jitters and anxious feeling! I have Fibromyalgia so my exhaustion is pretty extreme at times,and this helps me get through the day to get up and do things I absolutely need to do! Take this for those with exhaustion and needing a boost that is healthy,this product is worth the money!

All in all, my Vitality VoxBox was amazing and gave me everything I could test out and use in life for health,beauty,and physical aspects of burn treatments and more. I will be buying actually all of these products again when I run out,because I was truly impressed! Thank you again Influenster for everything! I also have a video on youtube with a more close up look and more pictures of the products I have just spoken about,so make sure to watch the video for more info at the following link:

Smiley360 Preparation H Medicated Wipes for Women Mission

The New Preperation H medicated Wipes with witch hazel for Women is a must have for any woman who has the problem of hemorrhoids from pregnancy,issues using the bathroom and having issues with Irritable bowel syndrome, and all the in betweens that cause the issues of flare ups! I thought maybe this might be another product that will not work like others I have tried in the past,but it actually gives me a soothing relief and I feel clean in the bum area where the flare ups happen at!

This product catering to women is a definite plus in my eyes,because who wants to smell like medicine smells( like arthritis products etc.) on their body after using this as a woman? I know I do NOT! I love that it has the smell of infused with refreshing cucumber,soothing aloe,vitamin E,Shea Butter,&Chamomile, which gave me a very refreshing and clean feeling after use!

 These are also flushable!

 I did not know after reading up that these can be used for external vaginal care, and can also be used as a moist compress - if necessary, first cleanse the area. Fold new wipe to desired size and place in contact with irritated area for a soothing and cooling effect. Leave in place for up to 15 minutes and repeat as needed!

So, make sure to go out and get yours because I have shared my samples with family and friends(some pregnant,and some not) and they are very pleased with how the product feels and works for them.

I received this product for free from smiley360 in exchange for my honest review and the opinion given is 100% soley my own.

Organic Matcha-Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics

When I first got this product to review, I was a little hesitant due to the fact I know green tea is good for you,but I wondered about being jittery and not being able to get rid of that uneasy feeling,which I do not like at all,that I have gotten from green tea bags over the counter and drank it that way. This product was something very different from what my past encounters have been like with anything to do with green tea.

This is Culinary Grade Green Tea Powder which is meant to give you: all day energy,metabolism boost,increased focus,improve skin health, AND it has 137X the antioxidants of brewed green tea! It is a 4 oz bag which is a pretty decent size. Also this powder is known for burning calories and used for anti aging. After reading more on this product and what it can be used for, I see it can be used in Lattes,Smoothies,and baking recipes!

I opened the packet,and it does warn you on the attached flyer that the Organic Matcha is VERY fresh,and thus has a naturally strong aroma to it. (which it DEFINITELY does) It says do not be frightened,that is how all antioxidants say hello. It said hello to me alright! lol It had a pretty intense potency to it,but it did not really stink. Just a very strong aroma. I looked down inside,and the color was as you see in the picture below,a medium green,kind of pale in my eyes,but definitely a noticeable aroma to it no doubt.

 Along with getting this product, I did receive a free recipe guide in e-book format that was sent to my email pretty quickly,so I started looking through it to see what I could make when I got my order,and I decided to make a Matcha Orange Cocktail! It was pretty easy to make,and all I did was pray that it tasted good so I would be more encouraged to drink it every day! Recommended dosage is 1/2 a teaspoon to 1 full teaspoon once daily mixed in with whichever recipe you choose. 

So I began to make my recipe by mixing together the sugar and Matcha Green Tea Powder in a bowl,and I had my ice set aside in a glass,waiting for my recipe to be mixed together to add to it.

After I mixed up the sugar and matcha, I added the hot water and mixed it all together.

Then I added the mixture to the ice cubes

Then I added the orange juice on top of that mixture in with the ice cubes.

It left the orange juice sitting on top of the icecubes and mixture so it looked like it had 2 layers the orange layer on top,and green on the bottom which was very pretty to look at! Now comes the tasting of it. 

I really did enjoy the flavor of the whole drink! It was absolutely DELICIOUS! I will be fixing this drink frequently! It gave a refreshing,yet healthy taste to the drink,and I did not have to struggle to get it down. I truly enjoyed every last drop of it. I felt the energy and difference within half an hour after drinking the cocktail. I felt a calm,mellow,yet energizing feeling from it. I was not exhausted and I wanted to get up and do things! I have Fibromyalgia,so this is a big deal to me when you deal with pain and exhaustion all of the time! I did feel a LITTLE bit of jittery,more then likely because my body is not use to having anything like this product in it which is super healthy,so I am just going to decrease from the 1 whole teaspoon I used to maybe 3/4 to 1/2 and I am sure that will knock out any small amount of jittery type of feeling I had. Trust me,it was nothing major at all to worry about. I plan on staying with this product and using from here on out to get myself more healthier.

I am 39 years old going on 40,and I do not want to keep waiting to start getting healthy. I have been neglecting my body,and not paying much attention to what it needs,letting one problem lead to another with depression and more,and I firmly believe after taking this product, I am on the right track. I highly recommend anyone wanting to get healthy,to get on this product and stay with it! You will not regret it! I know I don't! :)

Vacay Water Enhancer Review

Vacay Water Enhancer is all natural,dietary supplement that is meant to relieving stress & anxiety,ease tension,and calm the mind. Mine came in Island Lemonade flavor with enough to make 10 servings (NET WT 15G) It has zero calories, and zero sugar in it as well which makes it easier to swallow (no pun intended)

When I open the pack to look inside and smell the water enhancer,the first thing I think of when I catch the first scent is powdered lemonade mix,but this was so much more then that. You can smell the light natural sweetness in it,and I was so ready to take a relaxing break for my mind from all of the stress I have been under lately with so many things on my plate,and trying to play catch up with them all.

The directions are to mix 1/2 a teaspoon or 1.5g with 8 oz of water 2-3 times a day. I have done this and I definitely felt a difference in the stress and anxiety I was feeling like it took the edge off. That was just after my first serving! I know I would need a little more to make it go away completely,so of course I finished doing my 3 servings for the day,and this definitely gives me a break mentally and helped me to focus more.

 The flavor tasted great,and did not overpower with sweetness. It came through very mellow and you would not think you were drinking a water enhancer that could do all that I mentioned,but it does. I stirred it in and drank every drop that was in my cup. I do recommend drinking with cold water for an even more refreshing and tasty experience.

I would recommend anyone that is needing an all natural product you can mix in your water and take a mini mental vacay,this product is something you want to take on the go,or just sit at home and relax with. It is so easy to do with 3 simple steps and you are ready to drink! What are you waiting for? Hurry so you don't miss out on taking YOUR mini vacay!
