I can hardly contain my excitement in getting to review a box from Try the World Subscription box. I just love culture, diversity, and meeting new people. When I started college years ago I had plans to become an archeologist. I went as far as taking cultural and linguistics anthropology, and several archeology classes before I realized that it wasn’t going to be easy to mesh a family, and a career in archeology. Try the world Subscription is an awesome idea that meshes different cultures into a subscription box that educates, and entertains. Every two months you can expect a new box delivered promptly to your door. You get a…

Eating healthy, getting fit, and taking care of myself has become a mandatory self care routine since starting graduate school last year. But before doing all of that I was having food allergy issues so severe that I never knew how my meal was going to treat me. I could eat steak today, and be fine, but next week steak could set me into a a week long hell trip to the bathroom. Sorry to be gross, but there is no other way to explain it. I heard about colon cleanse, and decided to give it a try. I decided on using Coconut Colon Cleanse by Island Vibrance. Naturally cleanse…

Recently I started thinking more about losing weight since my current weight is out of control. I am not convinced that a low fat diet is the right way to go, but decided to try PB and PB with Chocolate (cocoa powder added). These products are peanut butter that is powdered and virtually free of fat. made with the highest quality peanuts that are slow roasted and then cold pressed to remove the fat and oil. Many people like the taste. I have to be honest and say I was not a fan when I used it for regular peanut butter. When I used it for making cookies, and in…

I have heard great thing about resistance training so naturally I wanted to look more into it for weight loss, and getting more physically fit. According to research, resistance training works just as well, if not better than weight lifting to build definition, and better muscle tone.

I received a set of Home Complete Exercise Bands for Resistance Training for review, and to aid in my fitness goals. I am very excited about using them to help built muscle tone. I received a set of resistance training bands that came in different strength, from easy…
