Re-Body hunger chews

I received a sample of Re-Body Hunger Chews from Naturally Savvy to try and tell. I am currently involved in a weight loss study and could not try this product by the time I received them. However, my husband and son tried these products and let me know what they thought.

My husband thought that they tasted okay but didn't know if they really worked in keeping him from feeling hungry. It was the busy season at work and he worked long hours between meals, so maybe it was asking too much for these things to work that long.

My son thought they tasted pretty good and would use them when he was hungry but wanted to wait a while before eating. He didn't see any real weight loss happening while using these chews, but he did find less hunger pains occurring.

Teeccino

I received several samples of Teeccino coffee alternative beverages to try from Naturally Savvy. These were free samples and I am to tell of my experiences. However, I do not drink coffee so I had my son and husband try the beverages and let me know their thoughts.

The reviews are mixed. My husband a die hard coffee and caffeine addict did not care for the products. He had some difficulty getting over the fact that there was no caffeine. It also did not have the same flavor as coffee and that is what he was looking forward to tasting.

My son on the other hand, tried the flavored 'coffee like tea bags' and found some flavors that he liked more than others. He thought they were a good alternative to tea and coffee but would take some getting used to the unique coffee substitutes used in these products.

It is a mixed review like I said. It really depends on one's desire to try something new and incorporate the item in their diets.

Teechia

I received a sample of Teechia Blueberry Date and Cinnamon Cranberry cereal from Naturally Savvy for free to try and tell. My husband and I both tried it. Neither one of us was really sold on it. The cereal had a weird smell to it and it lingered in the taste. I am not sure what particular ingredient gave it this taste and smell but it was a real turn off. We both tried several times to eat the cereal and hoped that it would grow on us and well it didn't.

This is a very healthy cereal and provides great nutritional benefit. However, we were just unable to consume a normal portion size of the product.

Oscillococcinum

I received a sample of Boiron's Oscillococcinum from Naturally Savvy for free to try and tell. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to try this product when I had the flu. My son had something similar to the flu in the beginning of November and about a week and a half before I received this product I had come down with the flu. I had all the symptoms that this product would address, the fatigue, headache, body aches, fever, and chills for about 5 days. I had the lingering cough for another two to three weeks.

About the time that the early symptoms left and the lingering cough arrived, I received this product. I went to a physician's appointment about two weeks after the flu about another issue and asked the doctor about this medicine. She uses it and so does her family. She states that it works very well and relieves many of the symptoms quickly.

For now, I will have to take her word for it.

Influenster Holiday Vox Box 2012

I received a Holiday Vox Box 2012 from Influenster on Christmas Eve in the mail. It was a great deal of fun to get a box of goodies on Christmas. I received the products for free to try and tell about them. I am honest in my reviews of the products and some are good and some well, not everything is always good.

My absolute favorite product I tried in this box is the Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal. I received the Cherry Pistachio Almond flavor and I love it. I mean I love it as I have loved few products I have tried for free. I buy at least four of the little containers each week. I love the chunks of cherries and nuts that demonstrate visually and with texture that I have real fruit and nuts in my oatmeal. It is crunchy, oatmeally, and delicious. Yes, I do know oatmeally isn't a real word, but by golly, if you are eating oatmeal, then what else could it be!

The NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine is my second favorite product from this box. I love the clear gloss alone or over my favorite colors. Beautiful.

The Goody Quikstyle Brush is okay but not one of my favorites. It doesn't really help keep my hair straight and it flattens the curls that I have. I like the idea of it more than actually using it.

EBOOST claims it will boost your mood, focus, and immunity with natural ingredients and no crash. I tried it and the flavor is okay, but didn't really feel any great effects. Maybe it was because it was only one serving, but nothing really all the wonderful.

Sole Society provided us a coupon for $25 off our first purchase and most shoes were $50. The shoes are great but not really practical. I like a medium heel and the options were really only 3-4 inches for ballet flats. This was one treat in the box that really did nothing for me. The colors were a little too wild for me and well, I wish them luck but I won't use my coupon.

I also received a book. Hiding in Sunshine by John and Caitlin Stuart. This is a father and teenage daughter duo writing their first book together. To be honest, the subject of the book is not my cup of tea. I am not into   cyber thrillers and the story seems really far fetched. The authors use an awful lot of (!) points in the story, makes reading it seem like everyone is always shouting at me. I read it but it will not be one of those books that I read over and over again. It was difficult at time to follow the plot and sometimes I put it down hoping to never pick it up again. It may be because it is not a story line I prefer.

Well, there you have it, I am really glad I received the Holiday Vox Box from Influenster. Thanks!
