Bondi Band Review

I started the P90X work out in late March. I have wanted to get rid of the left over weight from having my two kids. I also play Kickball every Sunday, not to give my self away but we did win the championship:) I am also training for my first 5K. I have never been a runner, but it is something I am growing to love. So with all that said, I am a very active person. I have been looking for something to keep the sweat out of my face while I am running and have had no such luck.  Enter Bondi Band!!

Bondi Band makes headbands, hats, towels etc. Their motto " No Slip, No Drip" and " Where Fashion meets Function".  I agree with both of these. While I just got the worst hair cut EVER, (It is starting to grow to an acceptable length) I was afraid the headband would not stay in place, or not look some what cute on me. Thank fully, I can make two itty bitty pig tails and the band holds the rest of my hair in place. I picked the " I run like a girl" head band in Neon Yellow, it matches my shoes :) Besides liking the design, it also did what it was made to do!  I can run the whole 5K and the band is still in the same place (regular head bands I would have to fix at least 5 times in my run) and I don't have the annoying sweat dripping in my eye, through out the WHOLE run!

They have a variety of super cute designs, funny sayings, Military, crowns, causes, sports, etc. Check out the Bands here and let me know which ones you like! 

I would recommend these to anyone really! Besides great for running, if you want to keep your hair and/or sweat out of your face this is just a great brand! They are also super easy to clean, I just tossed mine in the washer and let it air dry!

Plus, there will be a giveaway coming up next week, and the winner will win their choice of design!!

It Works Body Wrap Review

Do you have a little extra weight around your mid section that just wont budge? Maybe some cellulite you want to improve for the last few weeks of beach season? Don't have enough for an invasive surgery? Try a natural alternative. It Works, the name truly says it all! 

I am lucky enough to know a wonderful woman that sells It Works and was given the chance to review it. I trust her, but still was skeptical. I had heard from people the moment you eat of drink anything the weight will come right back. Well I would NOT endorse anything I did not believe in. I am more than happy to say that in the last 72 hours I have lost 6.5 inches off my mid section and that is just from 1 wrap!!!

The body wrap stays on for 45 min and you are measured at the waist, tummy and hips before and after. You have the option of putting the wrap back on when you a done being measure. At the 45 minute mark I had lost 3 1/2 inches, I wanted that thing back on!! If I was going to lose that, heck ya I wanted to lose more!! The wrap also continues to work and you will see more results for up to 72 hours! These are my results:

Results at 45 minutes:

Waist: Lost 1/2 inches  Tummy: Lost 1 1/2 inch  Hips: Lost 1 1/2 inches  Total Lost= 3 1/2 inches in 45 mins.

Results after 72 hours: (Total lost up till the 72 hours)

Waist: Lost 2 inches   Tummy: Lost 2 inches  Hips: Lost 2 1/2 inches Total lost from 1 wrap= 6 1/2 inches!!!!

Yes the above results are real, and guess what I have still had my 8 glasses of water a day and eaten what ever the heck I want to in the last 72 hours and I did not gain ANY back:) Woo Hoo HCL is looking good!! 

The wraps are natural ingredients and work at flushing the toxins out of your body. They tighten, and tone and firm the skin. Which was great for me after having to kids my stomach, even with working out was not as tight as I would like it to be. They also offer Chin and Neck wraps, let me tell you the results for this are amazing as well! Check out the website It Works to see the many different items that they sell. They are natural ingredients and work at getting you to a healthier and happier YOU! 

I would also like to say that not everyone is going to lose 6 1/2 inches, but I had guests with a variety of sizes and the least amount lost was 3 1/2 inches after 72 hours! Even if you do not lose a large amount of inches you are flushing the toxins and getting yourself to a healthier place! 

Contact Minda with It Works  and set up your party today! There are also ways to earn FREE wraps by hosting a party! So contact her today and see yourself drop the inches:) 

(Note: I received my wrap for free in exchange for my review. However, I would NEVER lie to you about my own opinions. The above results and thoughts are all true and are my own.)

Restless in Carolina **book review**

Bridget Pickwick-Buchanan has been a widow for 4 years. She is a tree huggin, animal lover, that speaks her mind. She is on a mission to not only get rid of her widow weeds, she also needs to find a buyer for the Pickwick Estate. Will she find love again and finally be able to say the words Happily Ever After, that she cant even read out of a book?

Enter Mr. J.C. Dirk, (the way the author Tamara Leigh describes him, he could make you take a double take) a developer from Atlanta. Bridget needs to find a buyer, and because of her ways, wants to make sure the buyer will develop in a "green" way. Mr. Dirk , owns and Eco Friendly development company. J.C. however has his own agenda, will he take his mission in life too far?

There is ups and downs and family drama in this book.Some people have good intentions and others do not. Read this book to find out all it all concludes! 

This book is such an amazing book. It shows Bridget's struggle to reclaim her faith, while it is talked about through out the book it is not a pushy religious book. I like that, I still get my romance novel, and I get a little faith thrown in there. 

I would recommend this book to anyone that likes romance novels,  is trying to find their way in life, lives a faith based life, or anyone that just wants to read a good book! 

(I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are mine, I really did like this book!!)
