Adovia moisturizing day cream- with dead sea mineral

I received the Adovia moisturizing day cream- with dead sea minerals for review purposes. I have been using this moisturizer every morning after I cleanse my face and before I apply my sunscreen and
make- up.
 

The websites claims are-

    - It continues working throughout the day by improving your skin's ability to regain it's natural moisture and better retain it's moisture levels. People will wonder why your skin has than new, natural "glow".

 I am really enjoying this product. It comes very nicely packaged in a jar and you get a good amount of product also (1.7 fl oz). It is very creamy and hydrating yet light and non greasy. It absorbs very quickly and leaves skin feeling soft and supple. I also didn't have any issues with it breaking me out.  I love the fact that it is all natural and has no harsh chemicals. I know this review seems short, sweet and to the point, but I honestly can't think of anything bad to say. This is a very nice moisturizer that serves its purpose and has wonderful benefits.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and Thank you Adovia for allowing me to try your product.

Kiss Me Organics- Matcha green tea poweder

So I was contacted by a company to try for free for an honest review the kiss me organics matcha green tea powder.
I will admit at first I was a little skeptical. I mean it claims to do ALOT and well we all know sometimes things aren't as good as they claim. 
However with this product I will say it seems to stand up to its claims. Some of the claims are as followed. 
- All day energy
- metabolism boost
- antioxidant boost 
- skin health

So first off lets talk about how much energy I had. You can ingest this in many ways, we will get to that in a bit. I chose to just drink it like a hot tea with a little raw honey for sweetness. I have five daughters as everyone may know and we homeschool. So I am always looking for natural and healthy ways to boost my energy levels and this by far is the easiest and best way I have found to day. I drank this each morning for a week in place of my normal cup of joe and it kept me on task and focused until the evening, with out any jitters or crashes. I of course am continuing to drink this but I gave the week time line for testing purposes. 

Next, is metabolism. This one is tricky because I have been on a weight loss journey for a little over a year. So I am already loosing on a regular basis. I will say however I did loose 3 lbs that week. and I had only lost 2 lbs the week before and didn't change anything in my diet and work outs except for the tea. So I can't say at this point if its a huge metabolism booster but I will say I noticed something. 

Then, we have the antioxidant boost. We all need a boost of antioxidants. No matter who you are or where you live everyone needs a little help against free radicals and the harmful things in the environment that can wreak havoc on our bodies.

Finally, we have skin health. I have pretty decent skin, you know no breakouts, minimal fine lines and wrinkles on my face. I am only 33 after all. However I have always fought dry skin and uneven skin tone (my fault due to years of tanning with out proper skin protection). I did notice in that week that my skin appeared softer and not as harsh.  It also seemed plumper (ok that isn't a good word) maybe I should say not as saggy like it was toning a bit. I have lost a extreme amount of weight, almost 100 lbs in a year. So I have some skin issues and I noticed that my legs and chin area was firmer. Again it could be that I do work out and I also drink a gallon of water a day. However, it seemed odd that I noticed these changes after I started religiously drinking this tea. 

So how much did I drink and how did I drink it to achieve these changes, you ask? 
Well I swapped my morning coffee with a cup of this with some honey and also made a glass of "iced tea" in the afternoon doing pretty much the same thing except pouring it over ice for a refreshing afternoon treat. Thats it 2 cups a day for a week gave me the changes I listed above. 
However, you can uses this matcha powder in a variety of ways. Some of those ways include baking with it, adding it to smoothies, or making it into a drink. Since its a fine power the usage list goes on and on. 

All in all I am impressed. Its a quick and easy way to get some antioxidants and good stuff in your body with out much effort or having to add another pill to your daily life style. I will continue to use this product, as I have noticed a difference and am happy with that difference. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and Thank you Kiss me Organics for allowing me to test this product free of cost. Have a wonderful day.
