Premium Garcinia Cambogia with Green Tea





What is this Garcinia Cambogia?

Garcinia cambogia is a small, pumpkin-shaped fruit, sometimes called tamarind. Though native to Indonesia, it is also grown in India, Southeast Asia, and West and Central Africa. It has long been used in traditional South Asian dishes, including curries and chutneys. Many also use the fruit for curing fish and preservation.

Adding this ingredient to meals is considered to be effective in making meals more “filling.” As a supplement pill form it's convenient for our busy life now a days.

I've been only using this for a few weeks and have not yet seen any results on loosing weight but I've seen a change of my mood and appetite. I have more energy, I feel satisfied with anything I eat (not junk food) Although I still get cravings, it's not as much as I used to. 

My first impression of this product is this will not work overnight but with the right diet and exercise this will be a good start on loosing weight.

V3 Life & Food PURE PREMIUM RAW ORGANIC YACON ROOT SYRUP


V3 Life & Food PURE PREMIUM RAW ORGANIC YACON ROOT SYRUP



  • 100% pure organic Yacon syrup has shown to assist in weight management, increase fiber intake and promotes good bowel function.
  • Other benefits include: Lowers blood sugar. Prevents and controls hyperglycemia (over activity). Restores renal activity. Good source of antioxidant.
  • High in prebiotics and probiotics, this syrup contains up to 50% of FOS (fructooligosacharides). It has been found that consumption of FOS does not increase blood glucose, and helps boost your bodies metabolism.
  • Naturally grown and sourced from the fields in Peru. Certified Organic ingredients from one of the best Yacon farms in Peru.
  • 100% pure raw organic syrup formula with no added perservatives. Bottled and tested in a FDA certified GMP facility in the USA

I was anxious to try Yacon syrup to help with my weight loss goals. After three weeks of use, I can say I have noticed a decrease in my appetite without changing any of my eating or exercise habits. I take three teaspoons every day before each meal, and I also use it if I have tea in the morning as a sweetener. I like the taste, and I think I am even starting to like it more than honey. It has less calories than honey making it a really good substitute. It reminds me of molasses. If I had to describe the flavor, I would say it tastes a bit like raisins.

100% Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract


100% Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract 



"Green coffee" refers to the raw or unroasted seeds (beans) of Coffea fruits. Green coffee beans are cleaned, dried, roasted, ground, and brewed to produce coffee. Researchers claim green coffee bean extract can help with weight loss, and the supplement has generated a lot of buzz.

The most recent study on green coffee bean was published in January 2012 in Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity. The researchers followed a group of 16 adults who supplemented with a special green coffee bean extract of chlorogenic acids at different dosages (either 700 or 1050 milligrams per day) for 12 weeks. All 16 adults were considered overweight, as demonstrated by a BMI of greater than 25. The subjects lost an average of almost 18 pounds – this was 10% of their overall body weight and 4.4% of their overall body fat.

I received this Green Coffee Bean Extract to try out, and while I have only been taking it for a  month, I have experienced increased energy without the jitters of some caffeine-based weight-loss products. These capsules contain 200 mg of caffeine, which is less than half a cup of coffee; I typically drink 2 cups a day, so this little amount of caffeine doesn't have much effect on me, especially if I cut down the amount of coffee I have while taking this. I have not seen a major decrease in appetite, and I have not been taking it long enough to notice any significant weight loss, but I will update this review once I've tried it for a longer period of time.

Adovia Exfoliating Facial Sea Salts- Dead Sea Salt Exfoliating Crystals Review


Adovia Exfoliating Facial Sea Salts- Dead Sea Salt Exfoliating Crystals



  • Natural facial salts improve our complexion, refresh and firm your skin while leaving it thoroughly cleansed.
  • These salts will infuse your skin with Dead Sea minerals while removing dead skin cells, leaving your face radiant, smooth and refreshed.
  • Eliminates Bacteria and excess oil
  • Exfoliates dead skin cells and pore clogging particles
  • Revitalizes and refreshes skin, revealing a new, healthy layer.
  • Stimulates facial skin circulation and tightens pores

Apply salt to a clean wet face and massage gently. Rinse off with warm water. Follow with Adovia Moisturizing Cream or Nourishing Night Cream.

Tip for Normal to Dry and Dry skin types: Although this Facial Dead Sea mineral salt were designed for oily skin, a long-time client of ours who has a dry skin type gave us a great tip which she works great for her. She told us that she mixes the facial salts with some olive oil and exfoliates that way with the combination of olive oil and facial salts. She said that she gets the exfoliating effect and the benefit of the minerals going in her skin, and her skin stays moisturized and smooth.

I've been using this scrub for a month now and very satisfied with the results. I have very oily skin and usually breaks out a lot. Since I started using the scrub I feel that my skin is silky smooth, I always use it at nights before bed with the Adovia mineral eye gel.

Adovia Mineral Skin Care: Eye Gel



Adovia Mineral Skin Care: Eye Gel

Adovia's unique Eye Gel specially formulated for the delicate areas around the eyes. This gentle, ultra-light gel absorbs quickly and keeps the eye area hydrated all day. Essential Dead Sea minerals and provide long lasting moisture helping reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Aloe Vera and Sweet almond oil soothes and revitalize the skin leaving it radiant and smooth. Vitamin A and E works to protect the skin from daily damage, for all skin types.

I've been using this eye gel everyday for a few weeks now, so far a tiny dab goes a long way. Since I don't suffer any puffiness around the eyes, I mainly use this for moisturizing my face and keeps my skin hydrated. The eye gel feels light and smooth, absorbs quickly and also doesn't have any distinct smell. One thing to be careful about is if you have sensitive eyes, even though I carefully apply a tiny dab under my eyes, it makes my eyes irritated and tear up, maybe I just have sensitive eyes. 


To maximize results I use this before bed and when I wake up in the morning. I feel that my face is becoming softer and smoother more refreshed all day even though it's 100'F outside, it won't make your face oily or sticky.

Charlie the Cavalier Begs for Attention Children's Book

My 6 year old and I read this book together, the colorful illustrations kept her entertained, the book has nursery rhymes like ABC's and twinkle twinkle little star and her favorite is the knock knock joke "Olive you", she never stops telling that knock knock joke to family members and her friends. It has easy words for toddlers that just learning how to read, even her brother that is 9 years joins in with our reading session.



The book came with the puppet that we cut and put together, we each have one. One day I had to go on a trip for a few days and used Skype, we both read the book with the puppet and made it more fun, we also bring this cute book on short distant travels to keep everyone entertained and use the puppet to accompany the story.

I think this will be our favorite little book for our travels and even bedtime story.

Review: Natures Best Vitamin C Serum



I've been using this Natures best Vitamin C serum for a few weeks now and I do see some changes on my skin, I used it on my hands (1st week) to try it out since I was not sure if I will have an allergic reaction on this serum, on the 2nd week I used it on my face and so far it has great results since my skin is very dry, I apply it twice a day when I wake up and before going to bed, I also use moisturizer to maximize the results,  At this moment my skin feels smooth and refined,I also break out with acne from time to time but since I've used this serum I haven't got any break outs. 

This serum feels light and not oily but I am not a big fan of the smell, when applied to my skin, it smells like a hint of tea leaves but eventually goes away. I plan to continue using this product for continuous benefits to the skin and on my face. 

It is a small bottle (1 FL.OZ / 30 ml) but a few little drops goes a long way.

Hemp Heart Seed for healthy Living.

I've received a sample of Hemp heart this week and was excited to try it since I've never heard of this before. So that night i set up 2 things, I bought some yogurt and frozen fruits for my breakfast the next day, then made salad for that night. First I tried mixing it with the salad and it was tasty, It has a slightly nutty taste, similar to a sunflower seed or pine nut that adds flavor to the salad, I usually just put olive oil and pepper so I can really taste the Hemp hearts seed. The next day I made my yogurt and frozen fruits with Hemp Hearts seed and it was a delightful morning. I feel so satisfied with this product and will buy more of this I know that Hemp Hearts contain more protein and omegas and less carbs than the same serving of chia or flax, also high in fiber. 

Hemp hearts seed (aka raw shelled hemp seed). is a good way of adding something healthy to your meal or snack.


  • Easy to use - Simply sprinkle Hemp Hearts on salad, cereal & yogurt, add to smoothies and recipes, or eat them straight from the package!
  • Incredibly nutritious - per 30 gram serving, Hemp Hearts contain 10 grams of easy to digest plant-based protein and 10 grams of Omegas.

Review: ME Makeover Essential Lip Addiction

last week when I was browsing Goupon I came across this lip product called Me Makeover Essentials lip addiction. 4 color-tinted lip balm which comes with a retractable lip brush and a  zipped pouch and it's only $7.99 retail for $22.50. I went and purchased it knowing that I never heard of that brand before, after 2 weeks of waiting I got my package and guess what? I am disappointed, I like trying new things and products but I guess you get what you pay for. First when i opened the lip balm it was oily, I know it was hot outside but not 100'F degrees hot! looks like it was melting, then it smells like wax, it doesn't indicate the scent but it smells like candle wax to me. Second thing I noticed that it's small, I'll rather buy the $1.00 lip gloss at Claire's and have a better quality for a buck than this product. Only thing I liked about it is the zipped pouch that I used now to put my on the go kit inside my purse. In conclusion I wouldn't recommend this Lip balm to anyone, there is a lot out there that has better quality than this one.

Everyday K-Cup Challenge

Since my mission is to try every K- Cups out there, last week I started buying a few boxes of K-Cups mixed brands from Target, so far I have some favorites and ones that's OK .  

My #1 choice is the Starbucks Caramel, it really taste like Starbucks coffee from the coffee shop it self.  2.Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee by Archer Farms, you can taste the flavor and coffee also not too sweet. 3 Butter Toffee, French Vanilla and Hazelnut is OK not too excited about it. they all taste like watered down coffee with some flavoring, I had to add a little more creamer than usual. Last but not the least is the Celestial Herbal sleepy time tea, I had the tea bags and this is the first time I had a K-Cup tea, I prefer the tea bags since I like my tea stronger, this K-Cup Celestial herbal tea is only good when you want a few minutes of warmness.

Tonight I will get my next batch of K-Cups to try!

Don't judge the restaurant by it's name (April 28, 2014)

Went to San Francisco for my grandmother's 80th birthday, that night we ate at La Petite Camille Vietnamese Cuisine, sounds like an Italian restaurant right? I was skeptical at first then we went inside the restaurant and ordered. For the appetizer I had the fresh shrimp spring rolls with spicy peanut sauce, it was the bomb! the spring roll has a lot of shrimp meat unlike other spring rolls I had before, the vegetables tasted fresh and they give a decent amount servings. For the main course (Pic 1) Barbecue chicken with a sweet spicy vinaigrette sauce (Pic 2) Boiled pork with a sweet spicy vinaigrette sauce too, they both taste juicy good but my favorite is the pork one. Also ordered shrimp fried rice that I ate most of it, beef fried rice and (Pic 3)beef won ton soup. Got Thai iced tea for my drink. I am very satisfied with this Vietnamese restaurant and will be eating here again when I'm in SFO again.

What's with the K-Cup (April 24, 2014)

I tried other K cups in the past but starting today I will review them all and choose my top favorite of the week.

Hot dog afternoon (April 23, 2014)

Today was craving for some hot dogs, well there is Costco but I went for something new... So I went to Sinbads hot dogs at Silver State Plaza N. McCarran Sparks. I ordered the Polish dog with everything on it ( mustard, ketchup, relish, onions and tomatoes) yes I said tomatoes! I know it was weird for me but surprisingly good, also ordered a chili cheese dog pretty tasty and a regular drink $15.00 for everything, the lady at the counter is really friendly but the place is hot and needed some ventilation. Overall not bad for a local hot dog place since the 80's and will eat here again soon.
