Review: GOGO by Therafirm Footless Tights....

Yes, your Diva has started work out. I looked at the calender and saw that my kids will be 6 in August....and I will have been the same size since 2004. This is not about a diet or losing weight, but renewing my life and making wise lifestyle choices.There so many products to aid a person on a fitness journey and being the product junkie I am...I wanna try them all.:)

The good people over at GOGO by Therafirm sent me a pair their footless tights to try and review!

I've started going to yoga twice a week and I've become quickly obsessed with perfecting my poses. I'm plus size girl so there is a bit of tweaking I have to do( ex: I put a rolled up towel under my lower back when we do the on the back floor poses...works like a charm). I wore the footless tights under a pair of capri-style cotton leggings and I was able to get an extra stretch in all my poses.

The tights contain micro fiber yarns and Lycra that aid in improved circulation and reduce swelling. They also assist in moving blood to your heart and gives you more energy. I can tell the difference in how my legs felt after wearing the GOGO footless tights on a 20min treadmill run. My legs were not crazy tired!

Review and Giveaway: My Lip Stuff....***CLOSED***

Hey Everyone!

A true beauty addict will keep searching till they find perfection in a wanted product. From end to end, we will test every conditioner for the perfect softness to the best of best foundation for our skin tone. In my case, the search for a great lip balm has been elusive. Lip Balms so important because they are necessary to the health and shape of the delicate skin on your lips. I recently came across, My Lip Stuff, a eco-friendly lip balm company who uses amazing recipe of sunflower oil, beeswax, cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, and aloe vera to soothe the tender pucker. They also smell and taste amazing!!

I received to review Maple Walnut( smells like cake or warm muffin, Yum!), Jack Frost( Minty and nostalgic reminds of my 1^st lip balm) and Rainbow Sherbet( like eating lemon Skittles, Double Yum!).

I like the buttery feel that got as applied them. I left one sitting under a lamp by mistake and when I applied it, it looked like a natural colored gloss. I felt finished after I applied it with a bit of mascara on my lashes ( picture above). The only con is I might eat the Maple Walnut lip balm! Help me! It smells divine! LOL!

Traveling Beautiful: Top 5 Beauty Products For Travel.....

Hey Everyone!

I have enlisted my soror and global travel muse/inspiration, Meredith of Around The World with Meredith, to give me her top five beauty products she takes on all her trips, like Japan, Jamaica, NYC, Dominican Republic, and most recently Key West Fla and Cozumel, Mexico.

#1- Moisturizers with SPF

(At the moment I use Equate Firming Moisturizers and Neurogena Ultra Mist SunBlock SPF 100)

#2- Mascara and Bronzer(or blush)

(At the moment I am using L'Oreal Extra Collagen in Black Waterproof and Black Radiance Golden Shimmer)

#3- Witch Hazel

( At the moment I use Beyond Belief Witch Hazel)

( that's Meredith as a Geisha in Japan! Check out her Japan posts on her blog:))

#4-- Baking soda: I love it b/c it is multi-purpose. After a day of bugs and birds on the safari in DR, a baking soda mask did the skin good. Not only did my skin feel smooth, but it relieves a few insect bites. Forgot to pack mouth wash? Gargle with baking soda. Ate too many Octopus balls and stomach is sour? Sip a little soda water( if you have Hypertension not a good idea).

#5-Water- In the past, I have packed every piece of makeup I've owned and only used the same 3 things. Reality is when I'm traveling, I want to be camera ready at all times with little to no effort. From laying on the beach all day and needing to stay hydrated to sampling greasy street food and needing a good "flushing out" water is essential. Water also minimize puffiness and swelling that make occur after a night out on the town.

Great products for a successful trip. All of the products Meredith brings are budget friendly and fab! Be sure to go ( RIGHT NOW) to check and follow her travel blog, Around The World With Meredith. Its filled with beautiful pictures, fun videos, and thoughtful commentary from the travel bug who has the bug for travel herself!

Thanks again, Soror Meredith XOXO!!
