A Guts Best Friend - Gutsy Chewy Review


Do you ever suffer from that Queasy, Uneasy, Refluxy Feeling associated with common digestive discomforts?  Sometimes your gut just doesn't agree with you or maybe it was something you ate.  Pizza, chili, spaghetti, anything that is fried....these are just a few of my worst culprits.  Well, there's an app for that....I mean, an all natural supplement!

Gutsy Chewy was invented by a gastroenterologist and a Harvard trained dentist, Dr. Doug Haghighi.  They are gluten free, lactose free and vegan friendly.  Gutsy Chewy contains a blend of papaya, licorice root, apple cider vinegar for heartburn, Xylitol for oral health, plus calcium and magnesium for digestive health.  They are full of good all natural remedies and they are made in the USA!  

I was given an opportunity through Mom's Meet to sample and share some Gutsy Chewy supplements.  Here is what we concluded:  Gutsy Chewy supplements work!  They relieved mild symptoms within 10-15 min. of taking.  They were convenient to carry around and to pick the right dosage size (tablets are scored in the middle so you can easily break it in half if you just need a little boost).  The flavors are good, WildBerry was definitely our favorite, but Citrus wasn't bad either.  They were easy to chew, the texture was a little crunchier than a sweet tart.  If you are looking for an all natural friend for your gut, I would definitely recommend trying these for yourself.

As Dr. Haghighi says, “Be true to yourself and follow your gut feeling. You’ll be glad you did.”

Hello Spring! Hello Hydration!

 I was given an opportunity through CrowdTap with Herbal Essences to sample a cute little 1.2oz bottle of their body wash scent- Hello Hydration.  I have always loved Herbal Essences and especially their fragrances, but I had never smelled this scent before.  It was like a mix of tropical flowers, coconut and cotton candy.  It was deliciously sweet and very refreshing.  Also, the lather was spectacular!  I hate when soaps or washes do not lather up at all, but that was not a problem here.  I felt clean, refreshed and rejuvenated!  I enjoyed the product so much that I made sure to look for it on my next shopping trip and was so pleased to find a giant pump bottle of it on clearance at Target.  Bonus!
If you have not tried this product or smelled this scent, you're missing out.  Give me a whiff the next time we hang out.  I guarantee you'll be jealous.  : )  Do you have a favorite Herbal Essence scent or product?
