Ancient Nutrition Multi-Collagen Protein Stick Packs

I didn't know much about Collagen except that it was good for joint health and your skin, so I was very excited to try out Ancient Nutrition's Multi-Collagen Protein Stick Packs.  The first thing I did was educate myself on exactly what Collagen is: a protein that your body produces and that can be found in certain foods, it's the main component of our connective tissue.  Then, I learned how it can benefit my health: everything from supporting bone mass density to dental health, helping metabolism and supporting cartilage, not to mention helping me stay looking young! 

This seemed like a great variety of benefits for simply adding a packet of collagen to foods I already eat.  I began with adding a packet to some of my baking, I just threw in a packet with the dry ingredients and had muffins with collagen.  There was no difference in taste or texture.  Next, I tried adding collagen packets to drinks.  I had much more success adding collagen to smoothies or warm drinks to get the texture to even out. I had less luck with adding a packet to just juice or water, I couldn't really get the texture right even after a lot of stirring.  I really liked the convenience of the stick packs.  These were easy to take to work or on the go and add to drinks.  Over the course of using collagen for two weeks, I have noticed a difference in my post-workout resilience, which is great!  Overall, an easy way to boost muscle and bone health.  

Thank you to Tryazon for the sample packs!

Jergens Enriching Shea Butter Oil Infused Body Wash provided a lavish experience.  The body wash is rich and moisturizing, leaving my skin feeling great.  The scent is light and pleasant with  mild shea and cocoa ​notes. The wash was easy to use working well with a shower pouf or just bare hands.  It is also pH balanced which helps with keeping skin moisturized.  What I liked most was that I could feel good about using this wash since it is dye free, paraben free and is not tested on animals.

The Ritual of Sakura

The Ritual Of Sakura Renewing Ritual Gift Set includes four items: blossoming hand wash, celebrate each day body wash, magic touch body cream and zensational foaming shower gel.  Before I even opened the gift set to use the products, I noticed the beautiful box, which I will definitely be re-purposing once I am done with the items.  I also noticed that the packaging inside is 100% compostable, a big plus in my eyes.  As soon as I did open the gift set, the pleasant fragrance of of organic rice milk and cherry blossoms wafted out.  I love this scent as it is not overpowering and is a very natural and feminine smell.  I love that the Rituals brand is all about slowing down and appreciating the moment that you are in.  Their products encourage just that by setting up a bath time ritual that goes along perfectly with the fresh and relaxing scent. The first step is cleansing with the zensational foaming shower gel.  This shower gel produced a rich, silky lather and I didn't need much in order to cover my whole body.  Next is exfoliating with the celebrate each day body scrub.  I love body scrubs and this did an amazing job of smoothing out my skin and left me with a mild cherry scent.  Lastly is nourishing with the magic touch body cream. This rich and luxurious cream was the perfect ending to a great bath time.  I happened to spend about half and hour luxuriating in this ritual, however, it can definitely be done in a shorter time span.  The blossoming hand wash is  a great reminder to slow down and take a breath in between bath times.  This is an absolutely wonderful gift scent that anyone would enjoy and feel good as good about using as you feel about gifting.
