Life & Food Green Coffee Bean Extract Gold Review!

   Hello everyone.This is not something that I often write about, but today I am writing about a dietary supplement. You may see some more of these pop up every once in a while!


About Life & Food

   Life & Food is a company that offers various health supplements. Unlike many other supplement companies, Life & Food does not promise or believe in a "magic pill". Here is a quote from there website. "Our motto is a healthy lifestyle, combined with daily efforts and regular supplementation of high quality nutrients right from our own store. We understand not every product will be effective for everyone, but we guarantee our products are of the purest grade and best quality available." I really appreciate the honesty that there is no supplement that will instantly do anything really. 

My Thoughts

  I'd like to remind you that you should always ask your doctor if you are thinking about changing your diet or adding a supplement!

   The supplement I tried out is the Green Coffee Bean Extract Gold ($16.97-$19.99). If you aren't familiar, green coffee bean is uncooked coffee beans that contain chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid is said to be an appetite suppressant. It is also said to have positive effects on heart disease and diabetes,but of course you should always consult your doctor if you are thinking of starting a supplement.The effect I was most excited about was a boost in energy, which I would love!

   This Green Coffee Bean Extract is non-GMO, gluten-free, not containing soy, and made in the USA. 

   You are supposed to take 2 capsules thirty minutes before eating. You should do this for 2 meals.

   On the first day of trying these, I decided to take one capsule before one of my meals. I also drank a full glass of water with it. Water definitely can make you less hungry, so I'm  sure that helps the filling effect. I also noticed a boost in energy in 10-15 minutes, which is great! 

   These capsules have the caffeine levels of less than a cup of coffee, so that is why you have the energy. Because I felt better energy quickly, I decided that one capsule was definitely enough!

  After testing it out longer, I saw similar results. Higher energy, less snacking. I really enjoyed trying this out and could see a lot of people really liking this capsule!

North Coast Organics Deodorant Collective Review!

     Hey everyone! I have a review of an amazing deodorant I got to try from North Coast Organics. A lot of deodorants are a hit or miss, so I'm hoping this will help some of you!

About North Coast Organics

     North Coast organics is a small Illinois based business that is sold in many different stores across 14 states as well as their online store. It all started when They produce personal care products that are all certified organic, certified vegan, and certified cruelty-free! Their products include deodorant, lotions, lip balms, adorable gift sets, and some really cool t-shirts. 

My Thoughts

      I completely recommend natural deodorants to anyone. Most deodorants in stores are full of nasty chemicals that are known for causing all sorts of health issues including cancer. I won't focus on that in this post because this is a review for a pretty cool natural one! They are all organic and some if not all of their products are vegan.

      Also, I'd like to mention something if you have never tried natural deodorants. They aren't (at least most of them) a dry stick sort of thing. They are more of a smooth consistency. If you are just switching over, it is something to get used to! Also I added a picture above so you can take a look at that!

Naked

      In short, Naked is the deodorant with the least amount of ingredients. It is a simple, yet amazing concoction. It smells slightly of coconuts, which I find really pleasant! I don't like strong smelling deodorants so this is perfect. This is my most used out of the bunch!

Revolver

     I really enjoyed this deodorant! It has a pleasant blend of essential oils that give it a unique spicy scent that isn't overpowering. It is a cedar wood smell that may be on the "masculine" side, but I could see this working for everyone! Also, I'd just like to comment on the descriptions on the website. Here's one, "Revolver shoots down odor wherever it lurks and will never miss its target.  Unholster Revolver today and send odor to an early grave." Oh my gosh, these are perfect, I totally recommend reading the rest on the site, I'll link it below!

Death By Lavendar

     I love the name on this one!!! I think the name really speaks for itself. It's just a really nice lavendar smell. 

Al Sol

    Pone Al Sol is actually North Coast Organics' newest edition! It is the most fragrant deodorant out of the bunch. It is a very citrusy smell, which is pretty unique.

Energy

     I am so excited to talk about this one! This is one of the new Mood Factory deodorants. If you don't know about it, it is a line of products that are all inspired by moods. There is Energy, Serenity, Creativity, Passion, Sassy, Happiness, Renewal, and Tranquility. This one has notes of orange, peppermint, mandarin, ginger, and rosemary. The smell is amazing! It is a very "natural" smell that is really nice.

Overall

      These are some really great deodorants! They work great for everyday odor, but maybe not for intense workouts. To be fair though, I've never had a deodorant last through a workout, so really it does measure up! They are also pretty affordable with the Mood Factory at $12.50 and the rest at $9.99.There is an amazing selection of scents and I totally recommend theses to anyone!
