My Review:
Get beautiful skin without the use of harsh chemicals or preservatives with boscia! When I was younger I remember using a few facial products that would tingle and burn when I applied them to my face and I thought that was good because that meant they were working.

My skin looked extremely radiant for several days after use and I absolutely love what this product did for my skin!

Clear Complexion Cleanser by boscia is fabulous! I'm know on Instagram as The Queen of Cardio and as such I do a lot of sweating.

I love that Clear Complexion Cleanser by boscia is a gentle cleanser but an also an extremely effective one. It removed ever trace of makeup with ease revealing clean smooth skin.

Get Regular Bowel Function and Improved Digestion with Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support from Vibrant Health!


Our Mission  Optimum Health
To assist through supplemental nutrition the healing of illness and the establishment of optimum health.  To design and market the most efficacious Nutritional Food Supplements for the benefit of all men, women and children.

Our Position  Ahead of the Times
As a ground-breaking and modern company, there is always something new happening at Vibrant Health. When you aim to design evolutionary formulas you need smart minds capable of independent thinking. There’s no doubt that we think differently from the rest of the nutrition industry. We don’t wish to be seen as a traditional nutraceutical brand. We wish to be seen as a brand built “on” science and “by” the efficacy of our formulations. And that’s why we must use these principles and practices as lamp posts to guide our decisions and to keep us focused on our Mission:  To assist the healing of illness and the establishment of optimum health through supplemental nutrition. To design and market the most efficacious dietary supplements for the benefit of all men women and children.

Our Practice  Formula Obsolescense
The relentless pursuit of knowledge results in new discoveries in biochemistry, clinical nutrition, agriculture and botanical medicine. It makes nutritional science a dynamic field. What we know today, or think we know, can become obsolete tomorrow. Plant science and organic chemistry have also brought us a legion of new biologically active substances that can be put to work supporting optimal health. This ever-changing milieu of science and evolving raw materials feeds the formulation of dietary supplements. We dare not presume that any dietary supplement designed today will remain the best into an endless future. For that reason, every Vibrant Health product is expected to change as new discoveries in science come to light, and as new raw materials become available. Vibrant Health products are dynamic, designed to stay at the forefront of nutritional science. They are dynamic by design.

Our Creed  Truth. Trust. Transparency.
You have our respect. You are the person we serve. You deserve to know precisely what is in each dietary supplement you buy. That is why you will find NO misleading proprietary blends in any Vibrant Health product. We’ve used full disclosure labeling since 1976, and always will. It’s your right to know!


WHAT IT IS:

Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support combines fermentable fibers, probiotics and a group of specific ingredients all carefully selected to improve bowel health. The ingredients include botanical extracts, amino acids, calcium and magnesium butyrates. Together, they nurture normal and healthy cell function.

WHAT DOES VIBRANT FLORA: IMPROVED BOWEL SUPPORT DO?

Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support should help fuel the regeneration of healthy mucosal cells in the lining the large intestine. It feeds healthy gut metabolism and may help healthy and normal bowel function. Side benefits could be more regular bowel function and improved digestion. With the latter comes improved nutrient absorption, enhanced overall health, and efficient healing.

WHAT’S IN IT?

Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support is your all in-one product to promote regularity and digestive health. Ingredients that support intestinal health are:

8.5 g of fiber – The intestinal lining replaces itself every seven days. Certain plant fibers, acacia gum, wheat grass, and psyllium seed among them, stimulate healthful renewal of the lining of the intestinal tract. They provide food for cells of the intestinal mucosa and support normal cell replacement. Wheatgrass leaf powder, psyllium, and acacia fibers are fermented by the strains of probiotic bacteria in Improved Bowel Support to generate short chain fatty acids (e.g. acetic, butyric and propionic), a primary fuel for the growth of healthy cells in the intestinal lining.

100 billion probiotics – Such a powerful serving of the right probiotics are often required to reverse the course of intestinal dysfunction. The eight strains in VIBRANT FLORA Improved Bowel Support are precisely the probiotics identified to deliver a successful outcome.

Calcium butyrate and magnesium butyrate – These two compounds are buffered sources of the short chain fatty acid, butyric acid, one of the fatty acids that serve as food for cells lining the colon. It helps new, healthy cells grow and develop quickly.

Amino Acids – Cell proliferation is further supported by three amino acids, L-glutamine, L-arginine, and Propionyl-L-carnitine, which are integral to the process. L-glutamine and L-arginine serve directly as additional fuel for growing cells. Propionyl-L-carnitine plays a key role in short-chain fatty-acid metabolism including butyrate and propionate, two of the fatty acids that are important energy sources for developing intestinal cells.

High antioxidant botanicals>– AprèsFlex Boswellia serrata extract, Curcuwin Curcuminoid extract, ginger root, ginkgo biloba, grape seed, green tea, pomegranate and rosemary extracts were carefully selected and combined in order to subdue the production of a wide variety of pro-inflammatory cell-two-cell messengers while increasing the output of some anti-inflammatory cell messengers. These ingredients scavenge free radicals in their own right, help bind damaged tissue back together, resist tissue breakdown, and may help shrink swollen tissue.

Certified organic selenium – Scavenging cells that are part of the natural immune reaction to inflammation, called macrophages, can ironically exacerbate inflammation as they try to clean up the debris from damaged cells. The element, selenium, is needed by macrophages to control their own pro-inflammatory tendencies as they go about doing their good works.

Improved Bowel Support, combined with a good Paleolithic diet of organic meats and lots of fresh cooked vegetables, along with an exercise plan that meets individual needs, can help improve bowel function and discomfort by addressing the cause on a cellular level.

My Review:
Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support from Vibrant Health is an amazing product! The intestinal lining replaces itself every seven days so I though I'll take Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support for at least 7 days and see if I notice any improvement and boy did I. 

Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support should help fuel the regeneration of healthy mucosal cells in the lining the large intestine. It feeds healthy gut metabolism and may help healthy and normal bowel function. Side benefits could be more regular bowel function and improved digestion. With the latter comes improved nutrient absorption, enhanced overall health, and efficient healing. 

I've suffered from bloating in the evenings for some time now and always thought I was getting too much fiber but after taking Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support I no longer have bloating in the evenings. I'm completely amazed at how flat my stomach is now all just because my intestinal lining is healthy. Bloating is extremely uncomfortable so I'm more than thrilled it's a problem of the past. I also noticed an increase in my energy levels and of course Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support helped me to be come regular without any bouts of constipation. 

Vibrant Flora Improved Bowel Support is a wonderful product and I'll definitely continue taking it!

My Review:
Celebrate the Good Old U S of A with Tommee Tippee® Stars & Stripes Line!

I'm a huge fan of Tommee Tippee products and particularly love these Stars and Stripes Insulated Straw Tumblers from Tommee Tippee. The number one thing I love the most about them is that they do not leak. I cannot tell you how many sippy cups I've had that leak even when they say they're leak proof. I also love that they're BPA free and have an insulated base so my kids drinks stay cool even in our Arizona heat. They fit in my sons hand perfectly and he absolutely loves them. If I give him any other cup he points to the cupboard asking for his Stars and Stripes cup. The red, white and blue designs are fantastic and they're also dishwasher safe which is an absolute must for this mom of 4.

TJULA DESIGN - Love the Clothes you Wear!


“How do you pronounce it?” might be your first question when you discover TJULA. We will not only tell you how to pronounce it, but also what it means.

When we were brainstorming what to name this new venture, we wanted something that’s catchy and meaningful. Since this journey is about working towards liberty, unity and equality through lifting women up with fair opportunities, we wanted the name to speak to these ideas and female strengths. After searching through languages, dialects, legends and ancient myths, when we came across “Tula”, a variant of “Tallulah”, bells rang in our heads. We altered the spelling to make it our own unique name.

The original meaning is “leaping water”. Just like water, we envision women to live with freedom. Sometimes their strengths are being adaptive and following the stream, yet other times they can be powerful and forge new paths.

Finally, it reads like “two-la”, with the “j” being silent.


We designed these pants with the intention of making them the BEST pair you’d want to wear everyday, at work, running errands or attending casual socials. They are made to fit well, look good and help you move with ease. We absolutely love the Everyday Pants and hope you’ll love them too.

Front fly with zipper and hook & eye
Side seam pockets for your hands or small personal items
Back pocket flaps for added security and a flattering shape

Wide cuff band for extra comfort above the ankle

Description: color black, 95% cotton, 5% spandex, slim fit, sit at around 4" below natural waist


This lightweight & flowy top is perfect for layering in fast-changing weather. Wear it with a blazer to work, or with a sweater for a more casual look. See reviews by Narrow Collective, Dress Well Do Good, Chic for Good and Two Classy Chics.

Design features
Double-layer to prevent see-through
High back neckline and reduced size armholes for added elegance
Double layer V-shape for a flattering front neckline
Open slit back for a light and cool feel

Description: color white, 100% viscose, loose fit. Please choose the size 1-2" bigger than your chest circumference measurements.


Design features
100% silk taffeta main and lining fabric to keep you comfortable.

My Review:
I'm absolutely in love with these clothes from TJULA DESIGN! 

They're incredibly comfortable and fit perfectly. 

TJULA DESIGN's The Tulip Skirt is extremely flattering and also very functional since it has pockets. The pockets are perfect for storing you keys, lipstick or various other small items. I'm also in love with the length of the Tulip Skirt because it goes to just about my knees which is my preferred length for skirts.

TJULA DESIGN's Slitback Tank is incredibly light and airy and looks amazing with just about anything. I love the slitback look of the back of this tank and the wonderful way it feels on my skin. It's incredibly comfortable to wear and has quickly become one of my favorite tanks!

See You Later, Alligator by Sally Hopgood Book Review

See You Later, Alligator
by Sally Hopgood (Author), Emma Levey (Illustrator)

Book Description
A departing tortoise has his bags packed and is almost ready to set out on an adventure, but he can’t leave until he says good-bye to each of his animal friends. The tortoise stops for every last timid mouse and bumblebee, shouting his rhyming good-byes, making you wonder if, perhaps, he’s stalling the start of his trip.

His animal friends appear startled as he suddenly pops up on each page to say adieu—especially the perplexed rhinoceros the tortoise mistakes for a unicorn! With each farewell, the tortoise’s good-byes get sillier and more creative. When will the good-byes end and the adventure begin?

My Review:
My kids love See You Later, Alligator by Sally Hopgood! A departing tortoise has his bags packed and is almost ready to set out on an adventure, but he can’t leave until he says good-bye to each of his animal friends. Each goodbye gets sillier and sillier and you begin to wonder when the good-byes will end and the adventure begin. The illustrations are awesomely entertaining so much so that my kids love just sitting and looking at the book. In my house we love silly books so this is definitely one of our favorites. My kids also love animals as do most so they loving seeing the different animals on each page. I absolutely love the way this book is written and highly recommend you all add this book to your child's library!

I Am So Bored! by Henrike Wilson Book Review

by Henrike Wilson (Illustrator)

Book Description
A little bear is bored and has no idea what to do with himself. He tries to find a friend to play with him, but no one is around or available yet. Dejected, the little bear lays down on the ground with nothing to do but to stare at the sky or the grass. How boring! 

Slowly, though, as he sits still, the world begins to come alive around him and his senses are awakened. The grass and the forest around him and the sky above him seem like a very different place and the bear finds himself full of curiosity. He sees things he hasn’t seen before like the shapes in the clouds and feels things he hasn’t felt before like the vibration of a bird’s wings.

My Review:
I Am So Bored! by Henrike Wilson is an adorable book! I really love how this book teaches kids to slow down and look at the world around them. I also love that it teaches them to enjoy the things around them. My kids are always saying they're bored so just this past week I've been telling them to do what the little bear from this book did and it actually worked. My kids sat outside peacefully looking and the sky and the birds in the trees. They came in from outside and told me about everything they heard and felt. They were actually outside when it began to sprinkle so they loved telling me all about the tiny sprinkles they felt. I Am So Bored! by Henrike Wilson also teaches kids to use their imagination when they're bored which is a great way to play! I absolutely adore the illustrations throughout this book as do my kids. I Am So Bored! by Henrike Wilson  is a terrific book and I highly recommend it!

That's Not the Monster We Ordered by Tara Black Book Review

by Tara Black (Author), Richard Fairgray (Illustrator), Terry Jones (Illustrator)

Book Description
The day the Turner family gets their very own monster is a momentous event in the neighborhood. Everyone gathers for the occasion. The monster can roar louder than a lion, leap down the stairs better than any Slinky, and eat grass so no one needs to mow. Based on the Turners’ experience, investing in a monster seems like a great idea!

Except, the monster that shows up isn’t the monster they ordered at all. Their monster likes to pull pranks and paint murals, and when he eats grass, he gets gas! He isn’t a good baker and he smells! Will the family return their defective monster? Or will the monster find a way to win their love?

That’s Not the Monster We Ordered is a fun twist on household pets but full of enough silly antics to warrant rereads. As in Gorillas in Our Midst and My Grandpa Is a Dinosaur, Fairgray and Jones have blended imagination into the real world, creating an entertaining story everyone will enjoy.

About the Author
Richard Fairgray was born and raised in New Zealand and has been publishing since he was seven years old. He has been working exclusively in comics for the last seven years with longtime collaborator Terry Jones. Their main work together is the ongoing series Blastosaurus. He lives in Auckland, New Zealand.

My Review:
That's Not the Monster We Ordered by Tara Black is an amazingly fun book for kids! It's an extremely fun twist on household pets that is sure to make kids smile. That's Not the Monster We Ordered by Tara Black has quickly become one of my kids favorite books. When they saw the monster on the cover they weren't too sure what to expect but as soon as I began to read the book to them, they were in love! My kids love the silly antics throughout this book and I can't even tell you how many times they bring this book to me to read throughout the day. They even bribe their older sister to read it too them when I can't read it to them. The illustrations are also extremely fun and entertaining. I highly recommend this book as I'm sure it will be a favorite in your home just like it is mine!
