Are You Getting Enough of These 5 Nutrients?

Expert: Susan Bowerman Not eating enough fruits, vegetables or dairy products? You’re not alone, and you might be missing out on some important nutrients. Unfortunately, many people are eating too much, yet getting too little nutrition. Many of us are eating too many calories from foods that are loaded down with fats and sugar, but these may also lack important vitamins and minerals. At the same time, we’re not eating enough fruits and vegetables, which are some of the richest sources of vitamins and minerals. Because many of us don’t consume enough dairy products, it’s tough to meet needs for calcium and vitamin D. So, it should come as no surprise that the vitamins and minerals that are often lacking in many diets are the same ones that are abundant in fruits, veggies and dairy products. Are you eating enough to meet your needs for these five nutrients? 5 Essential Nutrients Folic Acid Why you need it.  Folic acid—or folate, which is the form in which it exists in foods—

MY REVIEW: AlgAllure Skincare

Hello Beauties! I was so excited to collaborate with this outstanding sustainable company. I am only going to go over the skincare. But this company makes amazing progress on micro algae for agriculture and the enviroment.  AlgEternal Technologies  do some amazing things with algae. Click on their name and see what I am talking about. Now the products I got about 2 weeks ago. I am a little behind reviewing. I have a video coming soon. I just have got myself connected with nutritional company and Sephora so look for those blogposts soon. I have written several blogpsosts on micro algae and how it is amazing for your skin. It helps fight free radicals, antioxidant and fine lines and wrinkles. It has become a big ingredient in skincare. But what makes this company rise above is that they create theirs in their own facility here in Texas. A local brand. A sustainable brand. I truly love that I know where my source of skincare is coming from. And that it is a healthy brand. Let’s get

My Review: Zue Botanicals

Hello Beauties! I love great clean and healthy skincare. I was sent  Zue Botanicals Exfoliating Scrub  and  Restoring Night Cream . This is a brand that I came across on Instagram.  I have never heard about it but it has some great claims from IG reviewers and bloggers. Zue Botanicals Exfoliating  Scrub is a gentle scrub with micro apricot seeds. Which mean they are only a small amount in the scrub and they are not harsh at all. It is a very hydrating scrub. It is very gentle compared the scrubs I like to use. So if you have sensitive skin this is perfect. What I love about this clean green company it is vegan, not tested on animals, no parabens, no petrolatum, no phthalates, no artificial ingredients, gluten free and has beautiful botanical ingredients in the scrub. The secret lies in their amazing ingredients… Rejuvenates And Improves (Quinoa Seed Extract) Its plant-based peptides support skin’s ability to produce new, healthy collagen, which may improve elasticity
