Noxicare™ Natural Pain Relief Cream Review

I was so excited to try out Noxicare™ Natural Pain Relief Cream!  Why?  As many of you know I get a lot of pain in my back and nerves.  I was hoping that this would help.  I tried this out on my hands, arms, legs, feet, and back as well as my boyfriends back.


First before I tell you more about my opinions of this product I want to tell you about the product itself some more.

This cream has 7 essential ingredients that aid in pain relief and anti-inflammation: 

1. Turmeric- is known for being one of the most powerful natural pain relief options out there.
2. Willow Bark- has also been used for natural pain relief and inflammation since ancient Greece and ancient Egypt.
3. Ginger- this helps to relieve muscle pains as well as pains from arthritis and rheumatism as well as also being a catalyst in helping to improve the effectiveness of other herbs.
4. Rosemary Extract- this has been used to relief pain as well as help the regrowth of hair and relieve respiratory systems.
5. Holy Basil- this works as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and an antiviral.
6. Boswellia Extract- is used for pain relief and as an anti-inflammatory.  It has successfully been used to treat Chrohn's disease and other intestinal problems.
7. Alpha Lipoic Acids- this has been used to treat diabetic neuropathy and increasing blood flow to the nerves.

I was really excited when I saw everything that it can do to help out.  It helped a little bit with nerve pain in my hands and feet however all of the pain that comes from the damaged nerves couldn't be reversed.  I also found a lot of help with rubbing it on my back and my boyfriends.  It tasted quite a few hours.   


My boyfriend balked at first because it is yellow and not an all to pleasant color, but I did get him to let me put it on his back and it took me awhile of asking him is it working to find out that it was making his back feel better and he could feel it when it started to wear off.


Overall I have to say that between the two of us we really liked this product and more than likely will be buying more for us to use in the future.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

All Terrain Sunscreen Review

I was given the opportunity to review All Terrain Sunscreen!  I was very excited about this review because I love using natural products and this sounded amazing!  It is non-greasy and has a no slip dry grip sunscreen.  When using this I was very surprised it was even a lot less slippery than lotions are.  It is pretty thick and rubs on easily.  


This AquaSport is very water/sweat resistant and seemed to work well on my boyfriend when he was outside working on the house.   The sunscreen asks that you apply it on every 80 minutes when you are exposed to water or sweat.  I did not have other sunscreens at home to compare this to, but it felt like it was real frequent applications.  However, even if it is the natural aspect of the sunscreen really makes me want to use it more than other brands out there.


Recently All Terrain Sunscreen has been rated by both Consumer Reports and EWG's Skin Deep Sunscreens of 2012 as being "Top Rated" Sunscreen. You can purchase this sunscreen in a couple of various places.  I do however know that many of my readers shop online at Amazon and I wanted to share with you that you can purchase their different sunscreens on Amazon as well.  Buy All Terrain at Amazon!

This post is courtesy of Kim at Bloggity Blog!  She is a real good friend and I wish her the best of luck and I love her review below because it is so completely honest!  Keep watching out because I will be posting a review of this soon as well!  Now go check out the review and giveaway below!  This is something for everyone!

Every since I contracted Leukemia I have been in pain, there has not been a moment in my life that did not have some sort of pain in it. So when I see products like  Noxicare™  I always am willing to try them out in hopes of some relief. I feel too young to be in such constant pain and I am looking to regain my life.

Noxicare™ caught my interest because it is all natural and Noxicare™ Natural Pain Relief is a breakthrough  patented pain relief formula that is a combination of 7 of the world’s most potent natural pain relievers. Best of all there are NO known side effects and you can get it without a prescription. 

Guest Post: Tiger Balm Review/Giveaway

Here is another Guest Post from my friend Kim over at Bloggity Blog! This is another product I feel you will love! I will also be reviewing this in the near future!!!!


When I read Tiger Balm Works Where It Hurts, I was a little skeptical, I have been in constant pain for the last 6 to 7 years. Nothing stops my pain short of heavy narcotics and then, they make me sleep. I have felt like I have been doomed to constant pain for the rest of my life.

**Spotlight Post** LuSa Organics

LuSa Organics was kind enough to sponsor a review and giveaway of Baby Wipe Juice for the Fluffy Butts Cloth Diaper Giveaway Hop!  This Baby Wipe Juice is cloth diaper friendly as well as eco-friendly since you are not constantly throwing away baby wipes instead you are able to use a wash cloth and this mixture which is easy to use.

Baby Wipe Juice comes in a nice 8 fl. oz bottle that when combined with water makes two gallons.  You do not have to mix all 2 gallons at once although if you want to go ahead!  It takes 1-3 tsp. of Baby Wipe Juice and one cup of water to last you approximately one weeks worth of wipes!  You can use either wash cloths or paper towels.  


This product is all natural and contains some certified organic products in its ingredients.  All of LuSa Organics products are natural and organic.  I really loved this Baby Wipe Juice and I believe that it would work great on babies however I just used it on myself.

LuSa Organics has many other baby products!  Head on over and look at them and see if there are any that sound like products you would like!  I would love to hear what they are!

CJ's BUTTer Review

I was recently given the opportunity to review CJ's BUTTer®. These products were created by CJ S. Miller out of her kitchen because she was determined to make a cloth diaper friendly diaper cream for her children.  This Original BUTTer® formula she created turned out to not only be known internationally as the best cloth diaper cream, however with its all natural ingredients   it has been found to have great healing qualities.

It has been known to treat such troubles as:

Eczema	Sunburn pain & peeling
Psoriasis	Allergy rash & peeling
Rosacea	Wind burned cheeks
Very dry/chapped skin	Alligator elbows
Mechanic’s hands	Incontinence protection
Hang nails	Hemorrhoids
Cuticle’s	Circumcision care
Dry, cracked feet	Itchy pregnant tummies
Bug Bites	Severe diaper rash
Scars	Cradle Cap
Cold Sores	Stretch marks
Hair Conditioning Treatments	And more uses are found all the time…

The first product that I tried out was The Original CJ's BUTTer®.  This product came in the 1/2 oz sample size.  I have been using it for a couple of weeks now and I have not used even half of it.  I have been applying it behind my ears and around my eyes once or twice a day.  This product has been really helping me out in reducing inflammation as well as the flaky, scaliness that comes with eczema.


I was also provided this in additional scents from just the Original CJ's BUTTer®.  These scents were Bergamot Coriander, Sensuality, and Intrigue.  Sensuality is a blend of ylang, ylang & myrrh and Intrigue is a blend of orange, lemon, & petitgrain.  I absolutely fell in love with the Bergamot Coriander which of them is going to always be my favorite.  My second favorite would have to be Intrigue.  Sensuality is a nice scent however it is a little strong for me.  I also prefer sweet and fruity scents while the Sensuality is a flowery and spicy scent because of the myrrh which is spicy and the ylang ylang which mixes in a flowery scent.

The second product that I sampled was the CJ's BUTTer® Spritz Unscented.  This has multiple uses.  I tried using it as a spritz spray on my skin after my shower and felt my skin much softer and much easier and faster than putting lotion on everywhere.  I also tried this on my boyfriend's unruly frizzy hair.  It seemed to help it be a little less wild though we still have not found anything to reduce the frizziness or curls.

The third product I tried was CJ's Carcass Cleaner Tea Tree Scent.  This comes in a foaming pump like many hand soaps can be bought in, however because it is a natural product and does not contain the sythetic lathering agent it does not lather.  I am a fan of Tea Tree oil however I felt this was a very strong scent.  I used it on my hair massaging it into my scalp which seemed to help a little with the dandruff and dry scalp.  I have been trying to stop using products like Head and Shoulders so I just used this and than Shampoo'd with my normal Shampoo.

The fourth product I sampled was CJ's Peppermint Cream Lotion.  This cream has been amazing with the fluxuating temperatures that we have been having here in Michigan.  It creates a cooling soothing sensation on tired and aching feet and legs.  In addition to my feet and legs it helps a lot with my hands since in the warmer weather my nerves in my hands and feet go haywire and this cream really helps to bring them back to a neutral temperature which helps relieve achiness and tiredness that often occurs.  It also helps my hands because when they are hot I have less grip and weaker hands so it helps me to regain the strength that I do have left in them.

The final product that I sampled was two different flavors of CJ's BUTTer® Lip Balm.  These two came in Unflavored and Lip-tricity which is brand new and made with essential peppermint oil.  During most of the day I use the Unflavored which is what I normally prefer, but when I need something nice to smell the Lip-tricity is great!


Overall I loved all of the products that I was sent and I am very satisfied with them and would recommend them to other people.  I do know that the peppermint items have been known to help reduce migraines however I was unable to test this as my boyfriend has not had any since I received these products.

**While I love this company's products and do highly recommend them I wanted to make note that I received these products in a timely manner however over the past few weeks I have made multiple attempts to contact them and to no avail I have had no responses.**

I was given two different products to review and was very excited.  I have a pretty large dog, Kratos, a black Labrador and even though he is going to be 6 next month he still has the energy of a 2 year old. I admit he can be a handful and a HUGE baby, but he is my baby.

The first product I was given was the Sleeytime Tonic.  This was a product that I wanted to try since it is a Herbal elixir that is supposed to help calm your nervous, anxious, or overactive dogs.  This has seemed to help him out by relaxing him some and making him not so anxious when we are gone.


The directions are to put a couple of drops into water, or directly into the mouth.  I tried a few different ways from putting it on his food and tongue.  He preferred on his food.  I couldn't put it in the water because I was unsure what the affect would be on my two cats that drink from the water dish.

The second product that I was given was this All Natural Kissable Toothpaste and brush for my dog.  I had never brushed his teeth before now and it went really well.  My dog lets me do a lot of different things to him from playing with his toes to now brushing his teeth.  It did take a little practice getting him to stay still and get all of his teeth brushed, but there was a significant change in his breath with the use of this toothpaste.


Ingredients:


Kaolin- polishes teeth
Tea Tree Oil- Antiseptic and antifungal properties plus, leaves breath smelling fresh
Stevia and VanillaStevia and Vanilla- Natural sweeteners create a great taste without raising the dog's glycemic index
Tetrasodium & Tetrapotassium Phosphate- Reduce tartar build-up

Personal Review: 

Heather from Full Price? Never! had the pleasure of reviewing the Shaklee cleaning and laundry line of products. Here are her thoughts... "I was excited to try Shaklee's products. I had heard of them for years, but never had the chance to use them till now. When I opened the package I was a bit shocked to see the small amount of concentrated cleaner that the different products used. I received a large bottle of the concentrated cleaner, but only had to mix a small amount. After using main stream cleaners, I am used to having to use LOTS of chemicals in order to get the results I wanted and with Shaklee products you only use a very small amount of leaner to get fantastic results! I thought to myself that there was no way that such a small amount of cleaner could be effective. I waited 'till after cooking dinner, when my kitchen counters were messy to test the Shaklee all purpose cleaner... the results were great! I really appreciated that a little goes a long way with all of the products that I tried. Another notable point... no harsh chemical smell... no heavy scrubbing either. The products just work! Ever since we made a decision as a family to consider the environment and our health in general in our everyday choices, my eyes have been opened to how important it is to make sure that we know what is in {and what is not in} the things we purchase. Shaklee understands how important this is. Two thumbs up to Shaklee!

Applegate Chicken Nugget Review

Applegate naturals was kind enough to send me 2 bags of Chicken Nuggets to review.  These chicken nuggets are all natural.  There were no antibiotics used and the chickens were all humanely raised.  These chicken nuggets also have no nitrates or nitrites added to them and are casein free.  

Each package is 16 with approximately 36 fully cooked nuggets which is about 5 servings per package since one serving is 7 chicken nuggets.  The instructions are really simple and easy to understand.  You have the option of microwaving them or cooking them in the oven.  I opted to cook them in the oven.  I preheated the oven to 425 F and baked them for the suggested time of 12 minutes with 6 minutes on each side.

They do have two other suggested uses for the chicken nuggets however I did not use them.  I felt that these were cook enough to eat without any dipping sauce or anything like some chicken nuggets to eat.  The two suggested uses were to make kebabs and tacos both of which they gave directions on how to make these.

Overall, I really enjoyed these all natural chicken nuggets.  It gave us something to eat and we were able to get five meals out of them for the two of us.  I think that if you or your children like chicken nuggets these are a healthier option for your family.

You can find their products on their website or in your local grocery store.

*The sponsor gave me the product to review and I was given no monetary compensation for this review.  The opinions here are 100% mine and are in no way influenced by the sponsor.*
