GuruNanda Pulling Oil
* I was not compensated for this post. I received a complimentary sample for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
I recently heard about pulling oil from a close girlfriend and she had only good things to say about the whole idea. So when I was contacted about sampling and reviewing pulling oil, I was very intrigued to try it out. I received a bottle of GuruNanda pulling oil and immediately checked the ingredients: sesame oil, sunflower oil., coconut oil and peppermint oil. The directions stated: Shake well. Place 1 tbsp. or less in mouth. Gently swish oil in mouth, pushing the oil between teeth for 2 to 3 minutes. It took a few days to get used to having oil in my mouth but after a couple days of this routine, it has become a part of my morning regimen. Pulling oil is typically used to promote overall oral health and hygiene. I have been using the oil for about a week now and am interested to see the results in another week.

When practiced regularly, Oil Pulling is capable of reducing inflammation because as toxins in the toxic fat reduce the body withdraws water around them reducing inflammation. In addition, Oil Pulling can help improve oral and systemic health, which can help alleviate tooth decay, bad breath, headaches, migraines, diabetes, asthma, and acne, as well as whiten teeth.

Alli Friendly Holiday Tips: Healthier Versions of your Holiday favorites from Chef Richard Blais
*Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I was invited to the event and received a gift bag.
I was invited to a luncheon to learn about Ali and enjoy a delicious, healthy holiday meal created by Richard Blais. The holidays can be a hectic and mouthwatering time to upset or setback your weight loss goals. For those who will decide to lose weight next year, solely adhering to a healthy routine and not gaining pounds this season can be a battle. Alli has teamed up with Chef Richard Blais, restauranteur, cookbook author, and winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef All-Stars,” to assist the weight conscious make smart choices minus losing taste. He has exchanged the high fat ingredients in some of our holiday favorites with healthier choices that taste just as great. The dishes align with the alli program which promotes a healthy balanced diet.
Here are some secrets from Chef Blais: *Make health, smart food choices. Swap out the high fat ingredients in your favorite holiday recipes for a more balanced meal with fewer calories. For example, you can still enjoy a slice of sweet potato pie by preparing it with low-fat milk and egg whites. *Use bold flavors. Don’t compromise on taste—this time of year especially spices like cinnamon and cloves go a long way! I sprinkle them on light lattes I’ve made with low-fat, steamed milk. *Get moving. I know it can be tough to fit in physical activity but try incorporating it into your daily routine. You have to find what’s right for you, even if it’s a small way to get moving throughout the season, like parking farther away from the entrance of the grocery store.

Caudalie to the Rescue
*Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I was invited to the spa & received a complimentary mini facial.
The founder, Mathilde & I
I recently had the pleasure to being introduced to the French company, Caudalie and given the opportunity to experience an in store mini facial in their Soho spa. At first, I was apprehensive because the handful of facials I have had have left my face red, irritated and burning. After introducing and explaining the products and how they are naturally derived, I felt more a ease and relaxed in my chair. My "therapist" was very knowledgeable about the products and continued to teach me throughout the treatment. When my mini facial was compete, I could not believe how revived and fresh my face felt plus it didn't burn!!! While basking in my new found facial glow, I actively listened to the founder, Mathilde speak about the history and future of Caudalie. I decided to purchase a Caudalie Favorites gift set which contained Lip conditioner, Hand & nail cream, Divine oil, Beauty elixir and cleansing water. In addition, I purchased the Vinoperfect Enzymatic Peel mask to be used a few times a week. My mini sized Divine oil lasted a little over a week and I immediately purchased the 100mL size that I use daily! My next purchase will be a bigger bottle of the refreshing Beauty Elixir I use to invigorate me throughout the day because my mini size is just about done. I look forward to seeing what innovative natural products Caudalie
has in store!

P&G's "Most Loved" brands being celebrated include: CoverGirl®, Olay®, Pantene®, Venus®, Gillette®, Bounty®, Cascade®, Charmin®, Dawn®, Febreze®, Swiffer® and Tide®. I was invited to attend a VIP blogger event in NYC with SheSpeaks to celebrate with P&G and E-News co-anchor Terrence J. The event was truly a celebration of all things P&G and even featured a signature mocktail, "The Best-ini" (pineapple & sparkling white grape juice garnished with 24K gold)! Terrence J was the host with the most and shared his passion for P&G products in his own life: his personal stories, jokes and he professed his undying love for all things P&G. The interactive product experience allowed attendees to chat with beauty, grooming and household care product experts while building our own personalized P&G product swag bag. I was able to chat with experts, ask questions, participate in live demos and grab some of my fave P&G products. There was also a #PGmostloved twitter party during the event; I had fun tweeting with other bloggers, experts & Terrence J all in the same room. P&G products are everywhere and most definitely a part of my everyday life from beauty (Cover Girl, Venus, Gillette), skincare (Olay ), hair care (Pantene ), household (Dawn, Febreze, Cascade, Charmin, Bounty,Tide, Swiffer). I am excited to celebrate and show my continued support to a company that makes products we all know and love!

L'Oreal Paris Magic BB Cream
Everyone knows that I am not much of a makeup kinda girl...I'm satisfied with a little loose powder, eye shadow, some lip gloss and some mascara if I'm feeling fancy. But, I have been willing to try more beauty products to enrich my current beauty regimen. I was selected to be a part of the SheSpeaks Loreal Paris BB Cream program where I would receive a complimentary product to try and review. I was excited to try it because it was supposed to be a multi-purpose product and I am all about simplicity. I followed the instructions and was satisfied with the results: it gave my skin an almost even tone as well as served as a moisturizer. I used this product alone without additional makeup and really noticed a difference, it is definitely a product that I will continue to use daily.

Expert Haircare with Momtrends, Pantene & Echo Design!
I was invited to a Momtrends event sponsored by Pantene Pro-V at the marvelous MPE Penthouse in New York City, to learn all about Pantene's ground-breaking new expert collection. I was sent a few products to try prior to the event and I must admit that I truly enjoyed using them. The shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling silky soft and a bit more manageable.
Dr. Jeni Thomas, Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry and P&G’s Beauty and Grooming Principal Scientist was on hand to clarify how and why these amazing Pantene products work! She explained that the expert line products are created to defend hair from the numerous signs of aging (breakage, split ends, frizz, unruly greys, lackluster color and dryness). The new expert line includes: Age Defy Shampoo & Conditioner, Age Defy Advanced Thickening Treatment, Age Defy Rejuvenating Hydration Masque, Advanced Keratin Shampoo & Conditioner, Advanced Keratin Repair and the Advanced Keratin Spilt End Fuser. Dr. Thomas highlighted that these products are for women who have tried it all: particularly those who have a routine but have observed that their hair has begun to transform and are beginning to detect the changes. Dr. Jeni stated that the expert collection is the first line that treats hair both intrinsically and extrinsically to reveal resolutions to several difficulties such as the change in hair fibers, grey hair, dull hair, frizz, dullness, spilt ends, dryness, and other concerns linked to aging. You can thwart the seven signs of aging by using Pantene’s expert line because it works to multiply hair fibers and offer a thickening advantage to the hair. By using the Age-Defying line which was created with a hair restoration surgeon and that adds 65,000 hair fibers to the head, you can combat the signs of aging. The Keratin formula is intended to restore smoothness and counteract damage before it becomes noticeable as well as reverse two years of hair damage! Several stylists were also on hand to give us mini hair makeovers: wavy, curly or side buns using products from the Pantene Expert line. Many of the ladies walked around showing off their fabulous new dos after their mini makeovers. Although our hair may be maturing and showing signs of becoming weaker, the new Pantene Expert Collection is intended to assist us in understanding our hair and providing us with powerful, reasonably priced products to help heal it. Also on hand were head scarves and accessories from Echo Design: we were styled and shown various ways to tie scarves: headbands, necklaces and even shirts! There was a wide selection of scarves in an array of colors, designs, patterns and material that would be perfect for any occasion. -SD *I was not compensated for this post.

"Rehab your abs in 30 days" with Bootcamp Tummies by mama mio
So, with two small children in tow, I would love to be in shape...quickly! I have been religiously using mama mio products since my first prgnancy, almost three years ago and I absolutely adore them. I have little, if any time for myself and came across mama mio's Bootcamp for Tummies kit that claims to be "a tummy tuck in a box" in 30 days for just 4 minutes a day, so I decided to order it and try it out.I am also using the Shrink to Fit hip and thigh cream I received it today and I am excited to start tomorrow, May 16, 2012 and document my progress daily through personal logs, measurements and pictures. Stay tuned and wish me luck!

Walking for Heart Health
Jenny Craig Brand Ambassador, Valerie Bertinelli, kicked off the American Heart Association Wall Street Run & Heart Walk on behalf of "Team Jenny" in New York City on Thursday, May 31st. I had the honor to walk with Bertinelli and Team Jenny to raise funds and celebrate progress in the fight against this country's No. 1 and No. 4 killers, heart diseases and stroke. Jenny Craig is a proud National Sponsor of the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk and supports more than 350 walks across the US in 2012.
“Hot in Cleveland” star Bertinelli, who lost 40 pounds* on Jenny Craig in December 2007 and slipped into that famous blue bikini, recognizes the importance of being in good heart health, and owes her mother’s life to Jenny Craig. Back in October, 2008, Bertinelli’s mother Nancy required emergency heart valve replacement surgery. Afterwards, the cardiologist pulled Valerie and her brother Patrick aside and told them that if their mom hadn’t previously lost weight, she wouldn’t have survived. Nancy lost 54 pounds* on Jenny Craig after seeing her daughter Valerie’s success on the program, and got a whole new lease on life.
This is a cause that is near and dear to my heart, as my father passed away last year from heart disease. He too needed heart valve replacement surgery but it was too late when we found out. Although he had started changing his diet and lifestyle the strain was too much. After personally dealing with his loss, I have decided to make a conscious effort to begin practicing a healthier lifestyle which includes a change in diet and exercise that started with participating in my first walk ever! Walking with Team Jenny has given me some resources and tools to utilize to achieve my ultimate goal, which is to be “Heart Healthy”. This experience has encouraged me to get walking on my own and start exercising for myself and more importantly to be around for my boys.
“I’m honored to be here today, and am thrilled to be kicking off the New York City Heart Walk with Jenny Craig,” said Bertinelli. “Losing weight isn’t just about getting into your favorite clothes, it’s about being healthy and lowering your risk for weight-related diseases, so you can live a longer and happier life for yourself and for your family,” said Bertinelli. There is evidence that shows losing 5-10% of your body weight reduces your risk for cardiovascular diseases through improvements in blood cholesterol levels.
In support of the American Heart Association’s healthy-living initiative My Heart. My Life™, Jenny Craig launched My Heart. My Life.™ My Jenny, which focuses on educating the public regarding the significant health risks associated with weight-related diseases, including heart disease and stroke. Through marketing campaigns, PSAs, community programs, education and online activations, the brand is encouraging the public to eat better, move more and live a healthier life.
Jenny Craig’s program is designed to help manage your weight by creating a healthy relationship with food, building a fun, active lifestyle and developing a balanced approach to living. Jenny Craig has more than 3,500 employees and will celebrate their 30th anniversary in 2013! Their mantra is: Eat Well. Move More. Live Life.
The American Heart Association is devoted to saving people from heart disease and stroke –America’s No. 1 and No. 4 killers. They team with millions of volunteers too fund innovative research, fight for stronger public health policies, and provide lifesaving tools and information to prevent and treat these diseases.
