Plexus Slim/Accelerator Review

2013-11-18T12:27:00.000-05:00

When my friend Liz asked me to do a review on her new Plexus Slim product, I knew I just had to jump on it. Plexus, a weight loss supplement, in which you take a pill half an hour before a meal — it does not matter which meal, it can be breakfast, lunch or dinner — and pour the Plexus Slim powder into a 12 ounce glass/bottle of water, stir/shake and drink. That's all there is to it! It does not contain MSG or other proven red-flag ingredients. I took Plexus Slim once a day, however, people who struggle with weight loss or people who have a lot of weight to lose, may find that taking Plexus Slim twice a day works better for them. My appetite is down and I have found that I am not snacking as often.
In total I lost 10 pounds. I chose Mondays as my weigh in day. My first week weigh in was a loss of 3 lbs. Within the first week I could already tell that my clothes were fitting loosely. I must add that although my intentions were to walk 3-5 miles on the treadmill a day, life got in the way and this was not possible. I did watch what I was eating and of course drinking lots of water was key. But I am not gonna lie when I tell you I splurged on Wendy’s for dinner one night.
My second weeks weigh in was exciting…. I lost another 3 pounds. Holy crap!! This is really working!!!! Hmmm, maybe I should splurge on Wendy’s more often, joking! Haha!
Liz’ website information is http://newmombody.myplexusproducts.com/ she has a FB page too… https://www.facebook.com/NewMomBody
She has started to help a friend who is set up to sell this product as well. Jenna Ferguson and she is the Pretty in Pink Drink Lady http://jennaferguson.myplexusopportunity.com/ her facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/messages/#!/pages/Look-Pretty-In-Pink-with-Plexus-Slim/516055318475949
I took both the Plexus Slim and Accelerator+ set. Taken together, as I have read will positively impact and change your life. In addition to losing weight, you will experience more energy and better health. Take control and make a dramatic change in your life today.

My third week results were not as big. I only lost 1 pound. I knew that the honeymoon period would end but a loss is a loss. Plus it really didn’t help that mother nature had paid me a visit. Water retention was a big effect.
I didn’t let the week’s minimal loss discourage me. I went into the next one full force. And I am glad I did. I lost another 3 pounds at my 4th week weigh in.
At the end of my supply, I am fitting into a size 8 banana republic jeans. YAY Me!
My energy level is amazing and confidence has returned.

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Tammy from Cricutmouse's Craftynook.

Hey there! I’m Tammy from Cricutmouse's Craftynook. I was thrilled to have been asked to do another showcase of my blog by Deezy from Deezy Does It blog. I gained many followers from the first time thru back in February (I believe).

I used a file from My Scrapchick seeing as she has been so generous to sponsor the showcase this week.

The file is Card Essentials Vol 2 and they can be found here:
Card Essentials Vol. 2

I made the card for my cousin and his wife to be. Their wedding will be on
October 11/13. I gave them some homemade items for their shower and they were
a big hit. I hope the gift and card are going to be as well.

The poem for the inside I just googled and really liked it. It is fitting for
this couple

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Dory from The Doyle Dispatch.

Hello bloggers! I am so thrilled to be featured for this week's Pimp-Out Showcase! It's been great to find many new blogs this way, so I hope you will enjoy finding a little about me and my blog! My name is Dory, and I am behind The Doyle Dispatch.

My husband and I have recently celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary (and 10th dating anniversary), and we are about to welcome our first babies (twins!) into the world this winter. I started the blog as a way to document our married life together, and what a wonderful journey it has been so far! We started as high school sweethearts, going to senior prom together. We then endured one year of a long-distance relationship while we were in different colleges before I transferred to Virginia Tech. Go Hokies! Throughout it all, we stayed together through good times and bad. We have faced our share of challenges from family deaths to illnesses and tragedies, but our relationship has grown stronger because of it.

I first became a blogger in January 2009, when I started a blog to document my DIY wedding (the blog is http://bridesaver.wordpress.com/ if you are curious), and I loved it! My wedding goal was to get my dream wedding on a budget, and I was able to achieve it! My parents gave me a set amount for our wedding, and I was responsible for managing every penny into making it my dream day. With the Bridesaver blog as a guide, I found success with my tutorials and themed posts, and I loved the freedom that being a blog writer could give. Of course, blogging was just my hobby, as I was also studying for my master's degree to be an elementary school teacher. (By the way, I did have my dream country club wedding on a budget that was less than a typical non-country club wedding for the area. I had a top-notch photographer, dream bride and groom's cake, the Hokie Bird as a guest, and a world-traveled band that has played for Presidents… all on a budget, thanks to DIYing.)

I started teaching in 2009 after getting married, and I left my wedding blog and started Doyle Dispatch. As I continued with my teaching career, I continued blogging, documenting the events of a newly-married 20-something couple. In the summers, I would focus on my DIY projects, and the blog developed. Tim has even written some posts about our goals and successes with getting out of debt and living like no one else. (Thank you Dave Ramsey!) A little DIY, a little documenting, and lots of describing… we can be wordy. With my current pregnancy with twins, I am taking a year off of teaching to focus on bringing my healthy babies into the world. My blog still has the focus on our lives, but I am also taking advantage of my platform to help other Mothers (to be) of Multiples in navigating the differences between our pregnancies and those of singleton moms.

Along with documenting our life, our travels, our financial goals (and staying debt-free), and my twin pregnancy, the blog has also turned into a great place for me to document all of my DIY projects (along with many tutorials). I'm not picky with my projects, as I love them all! I recently started selling some of my personalized work, and that has become a fun side business for me (www.personallyyoursbydory.com).

So come on over to our little space on the web! We will hopefully keep you entertained with some easy reading and interesting content! I can't wait to meet some of you!

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Jenn from My Daily Jenn-ism.

Hey there! I’m Jenn from My Daily Jenn-ism.

Before I even go any further, I’d like to thank my girl, Deezy, for giving me the opportunity to be pimped out on her page.

Thank you, Deezy! Love you!

I’ve been blogging for two years. As a matter of fact, this past July 26^th was my blog-iversary. Deezy was one of the first few bloggers to befriend me in the blogging world and bring me into her part of this wonderful little blogging community.

I’m a married mom of 3. My husband and I have been married for 12 years. I’m proud to say he is the love of my life. We are on round two of “short ones.”

I’m a proud military momma of a 20 year old son, who serves in the US Navy. Our daughter will be 11 in a few weeks and our beautiful foster daughter will be 7 the day after our daughter.

I initially started blogging to exercise my creativity while writing my book. It instead became an outlet where I can help people with the good, the bad and the ugly that life throws at you.

I’ve got a little bit of everything in my blog from what it’s like to be a foster parent, to living with lupus, to being a survivor of suicide x2, to parenting, to just life “stuff” or total goofiness.

Don’t be scared… It only sounds dark and brooding. Truth is I’m a total goofball who will always seek out the silver lining and just laugh at life.

I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve learned that God really does give you things for a reason – and every crappy moment can be used for good to help another. That has been something that I try to do as often as possible.

…um, make lemonade??

Life is short – so it’s all about finding the good in every second. There’s always something good.

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Dorothy from Scrap Happy in Ohio.

Hello fellow bloggers! I am so excited and thankful that Deezy is showcasing my blog. My name is Dorothy, and I am Scrap Happy in Ohio. I am a wife and mother. My husband and I have been married for 8 years this October. He brought a beautiful daughter into the marriage who is now 14. Our son will be 5 in November, and we just had our daughter in May.

I started crafting as a child when my Grandma taught me how to sew. From there, I moved on to cross-stitching, crocheting, and found my love of paper-crafting in high school. I started with scrapbooking, but have since found card- and décor-making.

A few months ago I decided to try my hand at blogging, and so Scrap Happy in Ohio was born. Mostly, I blog about the projects I create, some of the photography that I take, but I also about my life in general.

Today on my blog, I am explaining the door hangers I made for our kids' doors. Here is a sneak peak. I hope you enjoy reading about my family and projects.

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Lucy from A Peek Into My Paradise.

Hello blogging friends! I am so excited to be the spotlight this week for the Pimp-Out Showcase! My name is Cathy and I am the owner and author of A Peek Into My Paradise. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and just celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary. We are recent empty nesters rediscovering adulthood after 27 years of being a family of four.

I am always doing something, I just don't know how to sit still; even when watching TV or a movie, I have to be doing something! I have always had a passion for crafts. For years I loved to sew; even making clothes for my children when they were elementary age, until it was no longer cool to wear clothes mom made. Then I dove deep into cross stitch. When I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel in 2001 and hand intensive crafts were impossible and I was on disability for years, I became really involved in scrapbooking. The craft was all the rage. You could say "everyone was doing it!" Scrapbook stores were everywhere. I have been a shutterbug since I could hold a camera so scrapbooking was the perfect blend of pictures meets crafts. I have completed over (20) 12 x 12 albums. I have slowly converted to digital scrapbooking the past few years and love My Memories Software.

I have two grown children, Kimberley and Bobby. Kimberley got engaged in the summer of 2010; with the wedding in July of 2011. With finances being what they were, a long guest list and my one and only daughter having visions of her dream wedding; mom took on a new role, hands on wedding planner/maker. Now, I have been in charge of week long Girl Scout Camps with over 400 girls attending. I was a Girl Scout Troop Leader for over 10 years. However, there is no other event that tops planning and hand making your daughters wedding. From table centerpieces complete with live goldfish, hand painting a personalized runner, all the bouquets and flowers, a set of guest books with a question on each to a huge cinnamon roll in place of a wedding cake. My daughter loves all things bread and cinnamon; she wanted a cinnamon roll as her wedding cake, so mom made it. For a year, I ate, slept and lived, making and preparing for the big day. Over the next few months I will be sharing our daughters handmade wedding.

For years friends and family would ask me, "How did you make that?", "YOU made that, how?", "Oh my, I want the recipe!". You could say Kimberley's wedding was the question that broke the crafters back. Where could I share my ideas, recipes, my pictures and passion for photography, the crafts I made with my friends and family? On a blog!

My first post was live in September of 2012 and what began as a simple vehicle to share has grown into a passion! There has been a new post at A Peek Into My Paradise every day since. As I approach my one year blogaversary, reflecting back, I smile, thinking of the ladies in the blogging community who have become new friends! Yes, I love sharing my recipes, crafts I have made, tips of life such as DIY, organizing, honestly whatever moves me. I invite you to visit A Peek Into My Paradise and if you like what you see I would love for you to be a friendly stalker! Leave me a comment if your a new follower - we bloggers love comments - if you are a blogger I will visit you too!

You can stalk me your favorite way ;=) or two...

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase is a little different. I have been showcasing different types of blogs created by some awesome ladies since February and I figured it was time to tell you a little about me, aka Deezy from Deezy Does It!

Hi there!! My name is Wanda Hornung, a.k.a. Deezy from “Deezy Does It!”. I am a mother of a beautiful yet fearless 7 year old boy, Branden.

My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been together for 19 yrs (married 13).

I first got into crafting right after we purchased our first home. My husband just said “Let’s get what you need”. I still have the receipt of everything we bought, which it is ½ faded.

3 years later and I have one small corner in the Carolina Room. I own three die cutting machines to help with my crafting, a Cricut Expression and 2 Cricut Imagine, with about 40-50 cartridges. My specialties are 3-D items and cards and as of recently personalized anything. I have yet to master creating lay-out pages for scrapbooks, but do dab a bit in it (and by bit I mean very little).

Cards created for very special moms this year

File template is from svg attic

Close up of the flower

Template is from svg cuts

Personalized items

"Noah" personalized 16oz tumbler with motorbike, template from treasure box designs

"Master of Krazy" personalized 16oz tall beer glass

Personalized candy jar

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to BreAnne Lee from The Pinspired Mom .

Hello, Hello!! My name is BreAnne Lee and have become known as The Pinspired Mom in the blogging world. I am the wife to an amazing man who works his butt off at Halliburton so that I can stay home with our three beautiful daughters. They are 8 years old, 4 years old, and 7 months old, and quite honestly the coolest kids I know. Up until a year ago we lived on the Western Slope of Colorado, but now reside in Houston, Texas.

Before we moved, I was not exactly the best housewife (Then again, who is?) But, I rarely cooked, hated to clean, and just had no desire to do household chores that needed to be done. I would let things pile up and do them all right before company came over or right before my husband came home from a month long hitch working overseas. Then we made the decision to move, and my husband no longer went away for months at a time. About the same time I was introduced to the treasure trove of ideas that is Pinterest.

I became a pinning addict!! I started with kids activities and crafts, then moved on to recipes, and then cleaning tips, followed by pregnancy and baby stuff, which of course resulted in the fitness pins for after baby, and at this point, I pretty much pin everything. I have such a wide range of pin boards that I can find an answer to pretty much any need that may arise. You can see my Pinterest boards and follow me here. And because of the wide range of pins and inspiration, I have become a better housewife and stay at home mom. I cook dinner most nights (usually, a recipe I've found on Pinterest), the house is so much tidier and cleaner that it was before we moved, and my girls and I do so many more crafts and fun activities. I am truly Pinspired.

I began blogging about my trials and errors of Pinterest and motherhood right around the time my youngest daughter was born. Life with three kids and not knowing many people in the area (which has changed since I first started blogging), resulted in the creation of my blog, The Pinspired Mom . I use it as an outlet for my thoughts and hopefully as inspiration for others. I share my pin fails and successes and blog about my family's adventures and projects. Hopefully you'll come join me! I can be found at The Pinspired Mom, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and of course Pinterest.

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Tammy from Life-Up, Down and Sideways.

Hello Everyone, this is Tammy from Life-Up, Down and Sideways.

I started blogging my crafty creations just over two years ago when I created Cuttin' and Stampin'. It was my way of sharing some of my crafty creations to a larger audience and sell some crafty goodies to others. In such a short period of time, the original blog has developed a life of it's own with a Design Team and weekly challenges. This world wide web has allowed me to meet and get to know so many wonderful people and make some truly life long friends. You may not believe it, but I have a real hard time speaking with people in public places. I get all tongue tied and embarrassed about every word that comes out of my mouth.

When I'm not working or crafting, my husband and I do quite a bit of traveling on the back of a GL1800 Goldwing. It's an amazing way to see the country with the wind in your face and being exposed to all the elements. We take long trips that provide me with tons of great pictures to scrap and lots of jounaling to do. We have one son that I used to arm wrestle with to see who got to ride with dad this week. Now he has reached an age where he can travel on a bike of his own. We have a really close knit family an it's great that we can enjoy the road together.

In my excitement, I decided that I wanted to use this opportunity to try something new. I've been watching all of these wonderful videos on making mini albums and keep thinking "How hard can this be?"

I really need to give credit to Angle Wings 14100 off of YouTube. She created an awesome video with great instructions. You can access them here - Tutorial Video

I made my share of mistakes, so give me a little leeway on the creation of my first mini. I started with some Bazzill Kraft card stock and created my cover and all the pages. Then inked around the edges .

I used the He Said She Said Paper packet from Teresa Collins. There was an additional elements package that contained mini file folders and I tried to make them fit in too.

So here's the front cover of the album. The diagonal card is in a pock and can be changed out. The flower is hooked onto a magnet for the closure. It's pretty plain but with some time to think about it, I'll probably keep adding to it.

So when you open the front cover. There's a pocket on the first page with one of the file folder elements added as a tag. The flap on the right side is also part of a file folder.

Here's the flap opened up.

Here's the second pages of the album. I left the big square to hold a nice size photo. The tags on the right side are removable and can be used to mount pictures on the back or do some journaling.

Flip up the page on the right and here's another great spot for a large picture. There's another large photo and journaling spot on the tag that comes out of the pocket. The bottom section is a third page with a magnetic closure.

Here's how the page opens up.

Once you fold the page down I used another file folder to create an added spot. Then I used three celo bags that are 3" x 6" to create a section of clear picture or tag pockets.

Then there's another large spot for a picture

I hope you enjoyed my first mini album. It's was an interesting project and I've definitely learned that I need to take a little more time and make sure I have all my folds right before I start gluing things down.

Until next time,
Happy Crafting
Tammy

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Lucy from Love 2 Create.

Hello! My name is Lucy Kelleher and I am so excited to be a here at Deezy Does It!! This is such a fun blog!

I have been blogging since May 2009 at Love 2 Create. (link: http://love2createitall.com). I live in Southern California with my amazing husband of 12 years. We met while training in Aikido, a Japanese martial art almost 20 years ago. We now own our own Aikido dojo (school) where I teach our children’s classes. I became a trial paralegal right out of school but decided to change careers about 8 years ago. I went back to school and became a teacher. After 5 years of teaching 3^rd and 4^th grade students, I am now a full-time Close to My Heart consultant and LOVING it! I have traded in teaching my little guys for teaching and creating memories with my “big” kids.

Here's a banner I made:

And matching cards to go along with the banner above:

I have to admit that I was never particularly craft growing up. I always wanted it to be “perfect” the first time I made something. Hardly a stress-free activity! I began crafting over 12 years ago when I saw a mother of one of my students working on cards in her car while waiting for her sons to come out. She invited me to a card workshop and I have been absolutely hooked every since. I have been with Close to My Heart for a little over 7 years now and am always amazed at all the new products they come up with every year. Every new Idea Book inspires me. Even though I have only been in the blogging world for a couple of years, I just LOVE posting my projects and ideas and getting feedback from others. I am a firm believer that there are really no “mistakes” in creating. ANYTHING can be fixed! Absolutely anything! (If you could only see the things that didn't make it to the blog - of course, they were fixed so you can't see them!).

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Diana from Nanny to Mommy.

Hey everyone! My name is Diana and I blog over at Nanny to Mommy. I started blogging originally in 2003 on Blurty, does anyone remember that? I was an angst teenager with so much pain that I needed to get out. Or I was just looking for something to do after band practice.

Haha.

Things aren't that dramatic anymore. I blog about my life as a stay-at-home mom who thought I knew

everything about taking care of kids, until I had one of my own. I make mistakes in parenting so you don't have to.

I started my blog in 2010 to keep track of my pregnancy. I started on Tumblr and was going to write about our TTC journey, but life had different plans for us and we got pregnant right away. I continue sharing our story through my father's death that year, my life insurance drama, and my identity theft fiasco only to have my beautiful SweetPea in December and make that terrible year worth it.

I complain about my unsupportive mother-in-law and my husband who never helps. I share my journey through PPD, breastfeeding an infant with lip tie, and my weightloss journey. I may make you laugh, or cry, or you just may feel sorry for my writing skills and over use of smileys.

Either way, ENJOY! :D

I'm a bargain hunter and frugalista, so I share freebies on my facebook fan page Diana's Deals as well as on Twitter and Instagram

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Laura from Laura Lee's Dream.

Hi! It's Laura here at Laura Lee's Dream! I have to thank Deezy for inviting me to be her guest. My blog is Laura Lee's Dream because mostly I share about my passion, which is scrapbooking, stamping and making cards. I love to own scrapbooking stuff... I am a paper addict but it's all good because I am a Design Team Member for Creative Kuts and when Cheryl sends me a file I can pick through and find the perfect paper. We do BAP's (Build A Project challenge) every week and also Crops On Line.

I have a Cricut which my granddaughters love to use and I am teaching them to use it themselves. I have an Imagine which I love also. My new love is my Silhouette Cameo. As a Design Team member for Creative Kuts I was hand cutting all the files but now I have my cameo I can do anything. I have 3 children, all over 20 and my youngest daughter is just starting to getting into crafting. She does not scrapbook or do card making but she loves to color digi's and she does a great job... I also have 5 grandchildren... the girls love to craft anything. They make cards or color or whatever they can get their hands on. Today I have chosen to show you my May Creative Kuts project for the Design Team....

It is called Treasured Memories... I had a blast with this one....

I also want to show you a project I have already shown but it is my very favorite file from Creative Kuts, Swinging Into Spring

My Daughter, Emily, worked on this digi from The Stamping Chef.

This is her second time using copics. I thought she did an amazing job for her second time. I think she is hooked, so it could be trouble! Her first image is good also but I really like this one... We are planning on making it into a card...

Thanks for joining me today and have a great day!

At Deezy Does It we are going to start a Monday inspiration post. Today we are doing all things vinyl with Teacher Appreciation and Mother's Day in mind.

My son is in the first grade this year and given the year we have had, he wanted to gift his teachers with something very special. It's been a rough year. Never in a million years did I ever think we would be dealing with the "bullying" topic at such a young age. After countless meetings with teachers, school's staff and even the nurse we believe we have reached a common ground. Anyways, back to the inspiration part.

I have braved my way into vinyl cutting with my new machine. I mean the old machine does ok when it comes to cutting, it's just those intricate cuts that always seem to put it in the back-burner. I am the savvy owner of a silhouette cameo cutting machine. Let me tell you that when it comes to intricate, this machine knows it well.

When an internet friend created the "I teach...." file and shared I knew this is what my son would love and saw as special for his teachers.

12x12 tile with felt backing for First grade teacher

16 ounce tall glass for TA

After delivering the goodies and having the teachers love them a friend, who has a niece graduating from ECU this year, ordered one from me. Of course, it needed to be purple and gold as those are the schools colors.

Moving on to Mother's Day. What do you get a mother who has everything and lives far away? How about a sentimental gift from Father and Son to my husband's mom?

Again, a friend shared the file created and this time I put a twist in it. I only had the quote to go with and decided to have my husband and my son place a hand print on the tile as well.

12x12 tile with felt backing

After this picture was taken we added my husband and my son's name to each of the hand prints and on the bottom right corner added the year.

I just hope it makes the journey to Ohio. Once there is confirmation it has, I will ship out my parents to Puerto Rico. In this case it has my hand print and of course its in pink :-).

Thank you for stopping by today!

Thank you to all the Happy Silhouette group members on facebook where so much inspiration is shared as well as advice and so much help is given especially to a novice like me.

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Debbie from Bugjuiced.

Thank you Deezy for asking me to be a guest! Hi my name is Debbie and my blog is "Bugjuiced". First let me tell you why I chose the name I did for my blog. When I first started crafting I bought my first die cutting machine and it was a cricut. I was all about the cricut and I was living in Florida (probably on a day the love bugs were out! ha ha) and I thought bug juiced would be a fun name. I have only been crafting for about 4 years. I started when I retired at the young age of 46. I never had time before that as I was a business owner. I owned a granite counter top fabrication shop. I did all the sales and ran the business and it was a successful. I am very ambitious and I give my all in everything I do. I am a tough lady in business even though I may not look the part but I had to be dealing in a man's industry so to speak.

I am the mother of one AWESOME daughter who is now 27 years old. She is my everything and I am so proud of her. I also have been married to the BEST husband around and he is also my best friend. He encourages my crazy (hoarding) craft buying and even takes me without complaining to any craft store I want while on vacation so who can ask for more! I have two awesome fur babies that occupy my time now also.

I have 3 (did have 4) cricut machines and recently bought the Silhouette Cameo. Well the cameo has stolen the spotlight! I love this machine and I am loving the Designer Edition software. I have created my own cutting files to satisfy my inner entrepreneur self!! My style is quirky humorous most of the time. I like to not take things seriously with my crafting because life itself is too serious. I am a very humorous person by nature and you can usually see this in most of my blog post when I have the time to really post.

I knew when I quit working that I wanted to craft. I had always been artistic and creative and this was a good outlet. I originally thought that I would just "scrapbook" pictures of our family etc. and that is how I started but then I got into cards and 3d items and my obsession just grew. Now I don't do much that I originally thought I would but I am loving all the fun I have with it. I have been on some awesome design teams and I am thankful for each and every one of them for the push it has gave me to sometimes think outside the box.

My favorite team has been Timeless Twine. I love the owner and I love the product. I have gotten so many great ideas and definitely not the traditional use of the twine most of the time which gives others ideas of what they can do with the twine besides the typical bow.

Here is a few of my favorite projects:

These two are my original designs and I created the cut files for the crazy ladies!! Also shows some great uses of twine!!

This is a surprise slider card I did.

I love TRUE BLOOD show so I made this awesome vampire card using SVG Cutting Files.

I love Cricut Campin Critter cartridge and I made S’more Pops to put in my box. I loved this project and the pops were YUMMY!

Here is a layout (which I rarely do) using twine in an awesome way! PS I love Halloween!

I love to find ways to make other things with my crafting. Here is a little picture frame I made using Happy Hauntings cartridge. Again….love the Halloween things!

I got probably a little overboard with the amount of projects I am sharing but these are my favorites. So for my last one here is a tri-fold card using SVG Cuts files. This was so time consuming but I loved it!!

I have a new project that is home decor that I will be showing on May 15 so I can't show it here yet and I just wish I could! I hope you take the time to visit my blog and even follow me would be awesome! Thanks to Deezy for asking me to be a guest!!

Sponsor Spotlight and Giveaway (ItWorks Body Wraps)

2013-05-06T15:22:00.002-04:00

I was fortunate to do a Body Wrap review from Michaela Scott's ItWorks company. When I first heard of the "body wraps" I couldn't get my head to understand exactly what it was.

Let me tell you, these things are awesome!!!!
ItWorks offers all natural supplements, a natural based facial line and the first to market site specific ultimate body applicator wrap!! It's really amazing!

I tried the body applicator wrap.

The Ultimate Body Applicator is a non-woven cloth wrap that has been infused with a powerful, botanically-based formula to deliver maximum tightening, toning, and firming results where applied to the skin.

Tightens, tones, & firms
Minimizes cellulite appearance
Improves skin texture & tightness
Mess-free and simple to use
Results in as little as 45 minutes
Progressive results over 72 hours
Made with natural ingredients

I took before and after pics, and although I am very self conscious, I'm gonna show them. hehe!

The day of the wrap, I first took the "before" picture:

I didn't have anything to keep it tight all day (saran wrap) so I used a camisole to help me in that department. Instructions were followed as the packet says. ~ Apply one Applicator to one area of your choice (such as the abdomen, back, sides, legs, arms, or buttocks) and leave on for 45 minutes. Remove and discard. Michaela told me to drink plenty of water and of course I did.

It says that you need to wear it for a minimum of 45 minutes, I wore mine to work meaning all day.

At the 72 hour mark I took the "after" picture:

I see myself every day, so I sent the pictures to Michaela to judge. After she pointed out the toning and the smoothing out I could then see what she meant.

Its an easy process in which I thought it was great. The results are awesome.

Michaela asked me to do a giveaway of her "Ultimate Thermofit package". It is their weight loss supplement. It's a Thermogenic Weight Loss Formula that improves metabolic rate and increases calorie burning by a ton! Reduces appetite and boosts energy and has antioxidant benefits of acai berry.

Enter the giveaway through Rafflecopter below:a Rafflecopter giveaway
Be sure to tell Michaela that Deezy from Deezy Does It! sent you.

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Jodi from Talking Twine and Trim.

Deezy, thanks for this opportunity! First my name is Jodi and I am the happy owner of Talking Twine and Trim found here (talkingtwineandtrim@etsy.com) and Just a Bit of Paper found here (justabitofpaper@etsy.com).

Now like most shops, I have a facebook page and about every other week have a give away. Please come by and like my page. I often showcase my products and have had "guest" designers here and there. Look for talking twine and trim on facebook. Last I have been a member of the Creative team at Scrapbookdoodle.com for years. I love designing for Yvonne who carries loads

of fun scrapbook products and does amazing kits.

Enough of the self promotion let’s talk packaging, events and scrapping. I got into my little shop with "NEEDING" some bakers twine one late night while scrapping. I wasn't happy with my colors I had, so I surfed the net and the next week I was selling it on etsy. I was hooked!!!! I love all things cotton and I love color. It was the beginning of the beginning. I am also a FAN of tags so the bakers twine is just the answer to many of my tag issues. Seam binding came next, yes, I LOVE tying things up I guess. I have dyed it, hand scrunched it and just tied it up. I love seam binding and baker twine combined. Please, don't ask me my favorite color as it changes by the hour.

Next came bags and they have taken me to a little old time bakery on Main St. here in AZ. They were always white so when I saw patterns and colors I knew these were perfect for me. I have made 2 mini albums using these bags as a base. They were super cute.

I "heart" washi. Easy, quick and full of color. Yes I love colors and patterns.

I have been scrapping for 10 plus years. My style is... Well, I don't know. But a few years ago I stopped fighting it and decided to embrace my style. I am happy with it. It is always layered, usually has a tag somewhere and is always attached with twine. I tend to like white and cream backgrounds.

I have four adult kids, 1 fantastic daugther-in-law, and the CUTEST little granddaughter in the world. You may see a layout about her later in the week. I have lived in Arizona most of my life though I love the mountains they are just a few hours away. I have traveled the world and let me say there are loads of places yet to visit.
