Giveaway Service Promotion: Ignite - Garcinia Cambogia Supplement

I received this sample of Garcinia Cambogia to review courtesy of TOMOSON. I was surprised to receive two full size bottles. Not only am I excited to try this, but I'm also very skeptical of these products that are being marketed on social media as "miracle weight loss drug".  So, I did some research. 

Garcinia cambogia, a tropical fruit also known as the Malabar tamarind, is a popular weight-loss supplement. It is suppose to block your body's ability to make fat and put the brakes on your appetite. It could help keep blood sugar and cholesterol levels in check, as well. So, apparently it is also great for diabetics and people with high cholesterol. Maybe it is a miracle drug?

The Ingredients in IGNITE are:                         

• Garcinia Cambogia (standardized for 60% HCA)
• Brown Seaweed extract (laminaria japonica) (standardized for 5 fucoxanthin)
• Olive Leaf extract (oleaeuropaea) (standardized for 60 oleanolic acid)
• Irvingia Gabonensis IGOB131 proprietary extract (seed)
• Panax Notoginseng extract (standardized for 8% ginsenosides)
• Green Tea

What I liked about IGNITE by OPTINUTRIENTS:

• The all natural Ingredients
• It is NON-GMO, meaning it is not genetically modified and that it truly is all natural
• It gives a mild boost of energy without the shakiness of normal diet pills loaded with caffeine

I like to share some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) to get the most out of your Cup Verdi.

Q: Will Cup Verdi work with my machine?

A: The Cup Verdi was designed to work with the vast majority of the Keurig single cup brewers. The only machines that the Cup Verdi was not designed to function with are the B30, B130, B150 and B155.

Q: Why is my coffee coming out too weak?

A: Weak coffee is almost always a product of the coffee being ground too coarsely. Bigger coffee grinds leaves too much of the coffee that is not evenly exploited during the single serve, coffee extraction process. By reducing the size of the grind, you create more surface area in the coffee grounds and allow water to more fully exploit the richness of the bean. It is also possible that you simply don’t have enough coffee in the Cup Verdi to adequately brew the size of cup you are making.

Q: What coffee works best in an Cup Verdi?

A: The brand of coffee should not matter. However, darker roasts have more surface oils and will tend to build up quicker on the Cup Verdi screen. Medium or light roasted coffee has less surface oil and does not build up on the screen so quickly.

Many coffee connoisseurs  recommend a single origin varietal coffee. Nothing beats the unique aroma or the flavor profile of a specific bean, from a specific part of the world. “Best” is a subjective term and can only be determined by you, and for you. Isn’t that one of the things that makes coffee so great!

Q: How often should I wash my Cup Verdi?

A: The frequency of cleaning depends entirely on how many times a day the Cup Verdi is used. If you use it once a day, once a week cleaning should be sufficient. If you use the Cup Verdi multiples times per day, washing the Cup Verdi every couple of days should adequate. Although the Cup Verdi is dishwasher safe, it is seldom necessary to rely on that avenue in a normal cleaning regiment.

Hold your Cup Verdi up to the light, looking inside of the cup. If you see portions of the Cup Verdi screen that appear more opaque than the rest of the screen, it means that oils and residue have built up and need to be cleaned.

By rinsing the Cup Verdi thoroughly after each use, and immediately after brewing, your maintenance and need for dishwasher cleaning will be minimal.

Note: If you use exclusively dark roast coffee or flavored coffee in your Cup Verdi, consider cleaning it about 30% more often. Darker roasts and flavored coffee contain more surface oils than other types of coffee. Those oils can resist simple rinsing and over time harden in your Cup Verdi screen as well as the filter holder of your Keurig machine.

My 2nd #VOXBOX from INFLUENSTER

#VSSPORTBRA VOXBOX

1st came....

Then came.....

Sooooooo excited I just received my second voxbox. It just happens to be the #vssportbra voxbox courtesy of @Influenster. Inside this box is magic!!!!

Ok so it's more like a fabulousness. Inside my box was 10- 25% off 1 sport item coupons. I shared these with friends and all the ladies at work, because everyone loves Vicky's.

When I received my box I was concerned that maybe I didn't fill out the size right but everything looked great once I put it on. Lol!!! As you can see below. Now to test it and get my workout on!

So my experience with this voxbox was amazing. Not only was the product a name brand that consumers like myself know and are comfortable with, but the product is good quality and made to last. The sportbra was pink :-) lightweight, comfortable and had a little lift. the cropped yoga pants were light, breathable, and made of great material. Overall experience is I will be using my coupon to purchase more items. 

So one of my missions from Influenster was to visit a Victoria Secret Store and review. So I took one of the handy dandy 25% off 1 sport item coupons that I received in my #vssportbra #voxbox and redeemed it at my local store in the mall close to where I live.

I did share the rest of the coupons with the ladies I work with and my children's daycare teacher who is in love with Victoria Secret products.

REVIEW TIME:
I went to Victoria's Secret store. First impression, wow! I wish I looked like the angels who's posters are out front in the window, maybe I can purchase something here and it'll transform me! Lol:-)

My mall's Victoria's Secret is smaller than many. There was limited selection. Thank goodness I'm a size 2 in pants because they don't have many bigger sizes. Anyways I tried on a few things. The ladies who work there helped me with what I was looking for. I ended up buying the new mesh back tank. Thank goodness I had a coupon. A $36 holy no sleeve shirt I got for around $27. I will say I'm in love with the lime green color tho.

So my overall experience was great. I cant wait to see my next voxbox.

This is a sponsored blog post. Influenster provided me with complimentary Victoria's Secret products to test and review as part of a contest.

My 1st #VOXBOX from INFLUENSTER

So, yesterday I received my first VoxBox I was so excited to come home and find it. I prequalified, and got it a week or two later, here is my box.

It's much smaller than I as expecting. But that is fine. I received the #tlcvoxbox from Influenster. Its a site where you use your social media and other things to qualify for free samples to test and review, this also involves tweeting and posting about these products and doing challenges in order to win other competitions and qualify for more boxes. They use you as an influencer. It's a great idea. So I did join this site May 11th 2014 and here I am with my first box about a month later. My influence score is 795 issuing my social media accounts and my scores from the quizzes and interactions on the Influenster site. Which by the way is iInfluenster.com. I received these products courtesy of Influenster to test and review.

So here is the cheat sheet showing what was to be expected in my box....

Here are the products:

#AVONANEW

#NEOREADY

#SUDLIFE

#GELATOLOVE

#PASSTHEPUFFS

#FUELREWARDS

I still have to go get my gelato though but it looks amazingly yummy!! Products received courtesy of Influenster for test and review purposes.
