Warriors in Pink

Have you heard of Warriors in Pink?  It is an organization created  by Ford to  help in the fight  against breast cancer  So how can you help with this cause?    When you buy  Warrior wear and gear, 100% of the net proceeds  goes to Susan G. Komen for the cure or you can  choose your charity  such as  Young Survival Coalition, The Pink Fund, Act with Love.   All of these organizations  aims to fight  breast cancer.  You can find out more about them by visiting fordcares.com.

Warriors in Pink is very generous to sent me   five  items to review.   I received Warrior on Your Side Tee and Strength of the Warrior Yoga Pants.  The  Tee is in size small but it's a little big for me, it can however be accessorized with belt and it would look nice.  The Yoga Pants is  a perfect fit for me.  What I like about the Yoga pants is that, you can wear it even when you are going somewhere, it is very stylish!

I will be posting the items for the kids at my daughter's blog.  Thank you very much Warriors in Pink!

The First Step to Natural Beauty

One thing that I  wish would change from my body is my feet.  I have a very thick skin  at my heels and sometimes they crack which is not  appealing at all.  Sometimes when I want to wear heels, I  always  put it back in the shoe rack because I am embarrassed  of my  thick  and cracked heels.  I have tried a couple of products  to smoothen it out but nothing really works.  But anyhow, I read about the  Tree Hut foot cream from one of the blogs I have visited  who also have the same  issue as me with her feet.  I learned that their foot cream has a  certified  organic shea butter which helps to repair your skin and moisturize it.  It also has a rose hip oil which is  known to have an anti aging property.  I love to try this  to see if it could help rejuvenate my  feet's skin.  I also like to try their foot scrub, as it has a  real and natural sugar that exfoliates  and smoothen your skin.

The  Tree Hut hand cream has Aloe Very and Peppermint Oil and it is  paraben free.   The aloe vera and the peppermint oil is a perfect combination to moisturize  ones's skin.  I dug a little deeper about  the product so I like Tree Hut on Facebook.  You might also want to like them in order for you to get their recent   deals and updates.  You can also  get in touch with them by following Tree Hut on Twitter.  Tree Hut products can also be found at Walmart stores so make sure to check on that.   I will definitely give Tree Hut foot and hand care products a try just so I could   put on  the ensemble that I am thinking below.

Aurorae Yoga

I am very fortunate to have been given a chance to work with some companies that provides fitness clothing such as Aurarae Yoga. They sent me the Synergy Yoga Mat Towel and Fitted Lenzing Modal Tank Top for review. The tank top goes well with the yoga pants that I got from other company. I love it as it is very soft and very comfortable. The yoga mat towel is perfect for me to use with my exercise routine at home. I can even bring t it outside if I want to meditate at our backyard. 

On the other note, I also won a giveaway from another blog which makes my fitness partner very happy, my daughter.  Her's is very different than mine but they do have  the same high quality materials.

Zaggora Pants

Remember the hot top that I reviewed a month ago from  Zaggora   I received another one to review and  this time it is the hot pants.   Thank you so much Zaggora!  I remember on my first  post, someone asked what kind of materials does Zaggora uses for their   clothing.  To answer that question,  fabric woven is  from recycled nano sized  coffee grounds, PVC bottles and Ice Cool Crystals.

What I like about  their fitness clothing is that, you would really sweat when you work out using it.  The good thing  even  when you are sweating is that, it neutralizes odor and keeps you cool and fresh.      If you want to buy  fitness clothing from Zaggora, just visit the link I have provided above.  They have  deals everyday.

I got the small size  which fits perfectly on my legs but the waist part is a little bigger but it wasn't too bad so I use it a lot in doing my work out at home, when riding a bike, or when I do my run.  I even wear it when I do gardening and I tell you, I sweat a lot which is perfect as I am trying to really work on  losing the stubborn tummy fat.  Below is an awesome video created  by Zaggora showcasing  how awesome women are!

Foods That Help Reduce Your Cholesterol

Reducing your cholesterol levels is as easy as changing your diet and exercising. It's important to choose foods that are healthy and plant based. Cholesterol comes from animal foods, and these are the main contributors of high cholesterol. Here are some foods to help you understand how to lower cholesterol in your everyday intake.

My Kids' favorite  snack

Oats

Oats are a delicious food that makes a hearty breakfast. Choose steel-cut oats for the most natural and healthiest choice. Cook oats in a pot of water by following the instructions on the package. You can add a small amount of sugar and fruit to make this meal a little sweeter. A serving of oats has only 166 calories and about five grams of fibre. The fibre in oats is what is responsible for lowering your cholesterol.

Eat Organic Soy

Organic soy is a perfect food for lowering your cholesterol. It is low in saturated fats and high in plant nutrients that your body needs. You can choose from soy milk, soy yoghurts, cheeses and even ice creams. You may want to snack on edamame, experiment with tofu or try protein-rich tempeh. These foods are increasing in popularity, and they taste great.

Eat Your Beans

Beans are a great food to have included in your diet. Black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans and lima beans are a few of the most popular choices. They can be added to soups, stews and burritos. They are a quick meal that packs a ton of fibre, no fat and a lot of nutrients. One serving of beans can have as much as half of your fibre needs for the day.

Get Your Greens

Green vegetables are a perfect food. They are low in calories but high in nutrients and fibre. Spinach, kale and collards are the best choices for heart-healthy greens to get your cholesterol levels regulated.

Nuts & Seeds

Nuts and seeds are high in calories and fat, but they are great in moderation. They contain heart-healthy fats, vitamins and protein. They provide long-lasting energy that will keep you full. Eat nuts after a workout to give your body a boost. Pumpkin seeds are an especially good choice since they are high in zinc. Walnuts have the highest level of omega-3 fatty acids.

Eat More Fruit

Fruit is the no-fat dessert that everyone dreams of. People are often afraid of fruit because it has sugar, but it also has a ton of vitamins you need. Fruit will give you energy and fibre. You can't go wrong with bananas, dates or melons.

When choosing cholesterol-lowering foods, go for plant-based foods in their natural state. Processed foods have hidden fats, nasty ingredients and can increase your weight and cholesterol levels.
