Nutribiotic Super Shower gels is an all over moisturizing, hypoallergenic soap free gel that moisturizes your skin and hair
it comes in fragrance free fruit or Vanila Chai scents This product has Grape Fruit Seed Extract in it. I do like this product very much
It is free of sodium lauryl sulfate it is free of chlorine derivatives colorings and paraben preservatives
It has plant moisturizers in it. If you do not like the whole idea of shampoo bars this is not one . It's an all liquid gel that has 12 oz. and is super moisturizing for an all over head to foot spa like feel to it
The website is www.nutribiotic.com
Once you go on the website go to the heading of Body Care then go to The Nutribiotic Shower Gels
I chose the Fragrance Free Shower Gel since I am usually allergic to everything that has a scent to it. I can have a few products that have scents in them but not many
I tried it out on my hair it was very nice it lathered very well and my hair was soft shinny and so far no reaction, always a plus with no reactions
I am impressed with this product it did a great job and it is also all natural .
I like once again a product that does everything all in one.
I think you will be amazed with this product.
They also do have regular moisturizing shampoos and conditioners but they are not fragrance free
Once again the website is www.nutribiotic.com
I just tried the Nutribiotic Fruit Conditioner and it was fantastic.
I had done a Henna coloring on my hair and my hair from it was a little bit fried from it I tried the conditioner and instantly my hair was like it just got a jolt of steroids it was soft and full of volume. I did not leave it in for very long it was just a rinse through the difference was like night and day. The shine to it is amazing and with the Henna the highlights are stunning you will love this product.
The Nutribiotic Shampoo Gel and Conditioner are like having a powerful boost in hair care . The combination is like a knock out punch your hair is clean soft manageable and full of volume and shine all the aspects of what you want in hair care . T.he best part is that it is all natural
Thank You

UPDATES ON PRODUCTS THAT I HAVE REVIEWED
08/30/2011
Canyon Bake House Breads are finally coming to Pennsylvania
The company found a distributor for the Pennsylvania area
I ordered a case from Holly Hill Health Food Store
they are located at 1200 Welsh Rd
North Wales Pa 19454
215 361 7770
Their hours of operation are Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Saturday 10-6 Thursday and Friday 10 - 9 and Sundays 11:00AM - 5 PM
The Canyon Bake House San Juan Bread will be at Holly Hill Health Food Store on Thursdday afternoon of this week
This bread is outstanding it is soft like real bread and it is almost the same size as real bread this is my ultimate favorite gluten free bread
Holly Hill Health Food Store at the Montgomery Coomons Shopping Center is trying out this bread in their store so let them know you want it . This is the only store in Pennsylvania that is carrying this bread
We have to let them know we want this bread so that it can come into other stores.
If this store is not close to you please find a health food store that is close to you call that store ask them if they would try bringing in this bread
If they say we do not have a distributor to bring it in Pennsylvania all you have to do is let them know that a fairly new distributor company has come in and they do carry the bread. The name of the distributor company is Garden Spot Distributors. they are located in New Holland PA, their telephone number is 1800 829 5100
The store that you have called will ask you if you want a whole case in most cases you will not have to buy a whole case just tell them up front you only want 1 loaf in most cases they will say that they prefer you buy two loaves. this is not bad you figure if you had it delivered it would be more money then the two loaves
I am so excited that we can have this bread in Pennsylvania
The website www.all-gluten-free.com has many specials and sales and some of them are free shipping so when you place order for them always look at their items that are on sale you might see free shipping for the item you want
I also wanted to let you know that their gluten free lipsticks are fantastic . They ware very well and last a long time and they can be used as a blush also just put a dot or two on your cheeks and rub in You have instant blush
www.southlandsoap.com has come out with a Reality Conditioning shampoo bar you have a choice of having it with a coloring Henna bar or just a very rich herbal Conditioning bar. I chose the Reality Herbal
conditioning shampoo bar and it was great. they also have a leave in conditioner called Smile which I really love It is a very rich moisturizing leave in conditioner that you put a tiny dot in the palm of your hand rub it in your hands after you towel dry your hair depending on how long your hair is and massage it into your hair.
My hair came out soft shinny and full of volume from both products
www.daddyjaxsoap.com Still my ultimate favorite soap company you have got to try this soap my skin is back to normal and looks new again. I also like this company because they do have an option for shipping that is free of charge so the only cost is the cost of the soap which is 6.95 plus tax. I do not know of any company that has this option. The soap feels like you are bathing with a soap and a cream. I also use this soap as a shampoo and conditioner. It is so nice to have one product that takes care of all my needs
I will be doing some more reviews on some new products this week and will let you know about them
Thank you

NATURAL CLOTHES DETERGENT
08/25/2011
As you know in the past I have posted a lot about being very sensitive to soaps and shampoos..
This time I am writing about that I am also very sensitive to clothes detergents
I even tried the fragrance free store bought detergents that are out there but in about twenty minutes after doing the laundry and putting a shirt on I would have a reaction to it.
I would be scratching and have tiny red bumps all over my shoulders back and arms..
I finally had solved my problem with soaps and shampoos now I realized I had to do something better with getting a more natural clothes detergent
Using an eery day store bought fragrance free detergent was not working.
I was thinking now where can I find a natural detergent .
On my blog I saw that someone had posted a comment about my blog saying how much they liked it
I never saw the website before and decided to take a look at it
The website was www.all-gluten-free.com
I was redirected to a website called No Gluten Natural Girl
They had sub titles on the left hand side and pictures on the right hand side of Make up soaps lipsticks shampoos detergents mouthwash tooth paste and of course all gluten free. It is nice to have a website that has everything right there to get all your personal items and cleaning items that are gluten free.
The sub titles on the left hand side say things like
Girls stuff
Guys stuff
House hold Stuff this is where the detergents and the house hold cleaners will be
I tried out their detergents and loved them
The clothes came out very soft of course these are all natural and fragrance free
Some how the clothes looked better they looked new again when they were not
The clothes looked brighter and I really could not believe how soft they were
The true test I put one of my shirts on and after about an hour I realized no reaction
The cost of it is $15.00 for a 2lb container and I know you say to yourself this is just to much money but it is really not because it is so concentrated that you use far less then you would with the regular detergent that you are using and it really cleans much better and best of all no reactions from using the product which is half the battle
I am finally beginning to feel like a happy camper again no skin issues from soaps and shampoos, no issues from using a clothes detergent.
They do have everything there for you in one spot I have not tried all the products but it is nice to have everything there to figure out what you need in one spot to get your personal items for when you have skin care issues with allergies
Remember this website and try them out to see for yourself how your skin will come back to what it should be
The website again is www.all-gluten-free.com
1 more thought I thought I would say to you about the detergent, I make my very own crocheted all cotton natural dish cloths.
The dish cloth I was using was grungy and really dirty after doing all the dishes that I did. I decided to see how it would do with getting out the stains on it
I was doing a lot of pots and pans so it was really quite dirty.
I put it in the laundry that i was doing and when it came out it was as white as it was after I first made it
You would have never known that I had just done all those pots and pans it looked new again
Thank you

CUSTOM CHOICE CEREALS
08/21/2011
I thought I had posted a post about these marvelous cereals, but I just checked my records and I have not
These cereals are amazing and the concept for these cereals is amazing too.
It is perfect for kids and adults with Celiac disease or for people with allergies.
The website is www.customchoicecereals.com
When you go onto the website there is a three step process to form your very own cereal concoction that at the end you name which is great for when you have children with celiac disease they get to name the cereal that they have made
First you have a choice of what type of base you would like to have such as a couple different types of flakes or granola
Then you pick out what type of dried fruits you would like in the cereal and if you would prefer it to be organic
When you make your choice to have it organic or not there really is not much difference in price if you want it to be organic
Then you pick out what nuts or seeds you would like
There are many different choices to choose from for the fruits nuts and seeds and you can put together any combination yu would like
At the end you get to name your very own blend of cereal and also on the package after you have made up your choices it has all the nutritional values that are in your cereal
I can not give you a cost for this since it is going to be what you come up .
I love love this company everything is all natural and it is so nice to be able to form a blend that you would like to eat for a snack or for a meal
It is also nice to be in control on what you are eating instead of having it that the disease has the control I can imagine when you are a child and you get this disease suddenly all their control on what they want to eat is taken away saying sorry you can not eat that and seeing other kids eating it. I know when I was little I became a type 1 Diabetic and I had to do a total change in what I was eating and how to control my Diabetes. It was very difficult my brothers and sisters were eating everything I used to eat and I could not I had no control with what I was eating. The children do have control they get to pick out what they would like and best of all if they are a Celiac and a type 1 Diabetic this is good for both conditions
I wish there was something like this for when I was little I think it would have made it a little bit easier on me and my paarents.
This approach kind of makes you feel special since it is something that you or your child made up and there is so much to choose from you will never get tired of it
Since you are dealing with Flakes Granola Nuts Fruit Seeds you are getting a bountiful of fiber which is great for us Celiacs and for that matter type 1 Diabetics
The owner of this company is amazing that he thought up of this philosophy.
He is not a Celiac but he had Celiac friends that had told him that there was not much out there that tasted good and that it was good for them
He came up with this idea and it is now an online business to help out people with Celiac Disease
Once again the website is www.customchoicecereal.com

GLUTEN FREE SANDWICH PETALS
08/20/2011
I rediscovered my favorite gluten free flat bread sandwich wrap
These are really fantastic and do not need refrigeration. they can be stored up to a month but I know once you have tried these sandwich wraps they will not be sitting on the counter they will be gone in no time at all.
Your friends and family that do not have Celiac disease will be jealous of you they are that good
I bet if you did an experiment and put these out for your friends or family they would be gone in a second but I would not recommend doing this because you will want them for your self
They are not just good tasting but they are good for you too.
They have 10 Ancient grains in each tortilla
They have prebiotics to aid in digestive health
They have heart healthy Omega 3's in each tortilla
They are also loaded with fiber with all this in them they taste magnificent .
They are also allergen free
They come in three different flavors
My ultimate favorite Spinach Garlic Pesto
Chimayo Red Chille
Agave Grain
These tortillas are also very good if you are also a type 1 diabetic with all the fiber they have in them
They come in three packages for a total of 36 tortillas 12 in each package
The website is www.sandwichpetals.com, their email address is info@sandwichpetals.com
They do cost 25.00 but they are worth every penny you will be glad you tried them
I am working in trying to get them in Pennsylvania stores they are based in Colorado
Thank you

EASY GLUTEN FREE PEANUT BUTTER /CHOCOLATE COOKIES

I love these cookies I saw these cookies online but I changed them a little bit for what I like in a peanut butter cookie, to me you can not have just peanut butter without chocolate
This recipe is super easy and great for when someone comes over unexpectedly and you want something quick and good for a desert.
the recipe is as follows you can double this recipe if you know you are having more people over
1 cup gluten free peanut butter I use Skippy Peanut Butter
1 cup Sugar
1 egg
1 package plain Hershey's Chocolate Kisses
Mix together the peanut butter the egg and the sugar drop by 1 table spoon per cookie onto greased cookie sheet
Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes take out cookies and place 1 Hershey Kiss on each cookie
It will melt into the cookie and it is delicious, it taste like a Reeses candy bar yum
One of my friends suggested occasionally to put a recipe in so I decided to do this one, it is quick easy and really very good
Thank you

DEXCOM CONTINUOUS BLOOD GLUCOSE METER
08/19/2011
I am writing this blog for members that are Type 1 Diabetics
I don't know if you have ever heard of The Dexcom Continuous Glucose Meter but it is outstanding
It is a meter that reads your blood sugars continuously for a week then you have to put in another transmitter on.
This systems helps you out so much what you do is when you get the system you set it up putting in the date and time
Then you charge what I call the control pad initial charging can take up to three hours then you get your transmitter this goes into your stomach.
This device goes in by a inch long needle once it is in your stomach you take out the needle and a Teflon needle stays in for about a week This sounds painful but it is not it just feels like a slight pick that is it at least this is the way I describe it and when it goes in it goes in by an applicator..
Then you put your sensor in and snap it in place, then you get your control panel and push the button that says start sensor this will take about close to three hours to be able to start recording blood sugars
Your Dexcom will beep at you and it will want two blood sugars from your regular meter. You put these in one at a time. It will then start measuring your blood sugars but you do have to put in your control panel what your doctor wants as your high level for instance my doctor wants mine at 200 so if my blood sugars goes over 200 the control panel will beep at me and say check blood sugar with your regular meter to make sure you are truly high. the Dexcom system is very reliable but there is always a chance that it might give you a false high or low blood sugar so if you have an alarm go off for high or low you must test on a regular blood glucose machine to make sure of your results . I have never had it that my device has given me a false reading.
After you have done all this your Dexcom system will read your blood sugars continuously.
In the morning and in the evening you will have to put in a blood sugar to calibrate your Dexcom system.with your regular blood glucose machine .
I love the Dexcom system I can not tell you how much it has helped me. I used to have to test 15 times a day because I had hypoglycemic unawareness and also when my blood sugars were high I did not know it
A couple of times my blood sugars were over 500 and i did not know it I had no symptoms at all . I also had blood sugars that were almost in the passing out stage they were in the 20's still I had no symptoms to tell me I was in trouble..
My A1C's were good they were in the 600's but my doctor was afraid that if someone was not at home to help me out with a low blood sugar I could have serious health issues so he decided that I should be on this device.
Some health insurances are hard to get this approved mine was one of them but I would not take no for an answer.
I wrote letters stating why I needed it and called them every day until it was approved and I really feel that this device has saved my life
Once I got it approved I called my doctor's office to thank him in getting this approved he stated you know it was not me it was you they said no to me it was your perseverance in getting it approved that did it
I also like this company because once you decide to try out this system you call them and say I want to try this out. In most cases they will go to your doctor's office and have you try it out for a week to see if this is for you. When I tried it out I almost cried when I had to give back my loaner. I said to the nurse can't I keep this one until mine is approved and she laughed and said no
You can reach the Dexcom company by dialing 1 877 339 2664 and push option 2 they will take your information and set up an appointment for you to try it out
Their website is www.dexcom.com
This system is the best it lets you know if there is a problem with your blood sugars before it is a problem for instance I have my blood sugar setting for when I am low for 70 so it will beep at me when it goes to 70 which is great it is a lot better then having blood sugars in the 20's
I feel much better
The training is easy, my son I tried to get him one of the systems for his blood sugars he does not test as much as he should
I thought he would not be a happy camper but he did try it out and you know what he loved it
He said it is easy it is almost fun and it makes his college life a lot easier to deal with.
He said this is great I don't have to test accept when I get up in the morning and when I go to bed at night
I also want to let you know that this system will give you blood sugars for about a week then you have to take off the transmitter and put a new one on. You take out the sensor and put it into the new transmitter and start all over again
You do have to charge it probably about twice a week and you have to have the control panel no more then 5 feet away from you or else it iwll beep at you and say that you are out of range for blood sugars
Animus Insulin Pumps are working hand in with Dexcom to have it that they will work together as one
This is already done in Europe but believe me even though they do not work as one it is not difficult at all.to handle both devices
Just to let you know that the control panel is not very big it is probably about 3 and half inches long it is oval shaped . I put mine in my pocket and no one knows it is there unless it beeps
I think you will like this system what have you got to lose you might just like me feel better and have better A1C's for your blood sugar control
To me this system makes it not a job to have diabetes, it puts you in control instead of the opposite so call Dexcom now and try it out, call Dexcom now at 1877 339 2664 option 2

DADDY JAX SOAP COMPANY
08/08/2011
As you can see with my blog I have tried out a number of soaps for my dry skin needs and they were all very good but I just found the king of the Mother load or I should say Father load of Soaps.
I came across a soap company called Daddy Jax Soaps I always look into how they got started and with this company it was because of their son.
They were trying to help him out with his skin needs and decided to try to make a soap that he could use that would not bother his skin and this is how this company came about.
I decided to give them a try and see if this would work for me.
I decided to try the Shea Bar ( Unscented), the Cinnamon Almond and the Honey Bee.
When the package came I decided to be daring and try the Cinnamon Almond first.
I thought this would be a true test since I became a Celiac I usually I can not wear any type of scent in soaps or my skin goes into over drive and I get a fierce reaction and I knew this could happen but I through caution to the wind and thought I would try it.
The scent was marvelous and I became very excited but still skeptical thinking that I will probably still break out or just have very dry skin well quite the opposite happened.
My skin almost came out of hibernation it became alive again.
My skin felt like it just came out of an expensive spa filled with moisturizers and kind of a zen effect
My hands were so soft and supple and they had a glow about them
I really became daring and tried it on my face, usually when I try any of these types of soaps on my face it feels like my face is just cracking in the desert and most of the soaps that I have tried before this were good and moisturized my face but this was way different
The skin on my face looked and felt new it felt like as they say a newborns skin .
My face had a radiance to it my face felt pampered and not just moisturized but nourished from the inside out.
These soaps are more then just natural soaps they are tiny spas in the palm of your hand cleaning and nourishing your skin to sheer blissfulness of well moisturized skin
They are an exceptional treat to your skin
Your skin will go into overdrive but not like I said before in dryness but in sheer delight
They have so many different scents to choose to your satisfaction.
They do still have unscented to which is the Shea butter but they do have some marvelous scents to choose from
CEDARWOOD SAGE
GINGER LIME
CINNAMON ALMOND
HONEY BEE
LAVENDAR W FLOWERS
LEMON GRASS
ORANGE HIBISCUS
PEPPERMINT
SHEA BUTTER BAR ( UNSCENTED )
THE DUDE
VANILLA YLANG YLANG
Their website is www.daddyjaxsoap.com and their email address is daddyjaxsoap@gmail.com

You have got to try out these soaps they are just like being in a spa in your own bathroom without having to go any where and the cost for these soaps are just 6.95 a bar which is a bargain with how great your skin will look and feel.
I also tried the Cinnamon Almond Soap as a shampoo since it did so well on my skin and my hair was beautiful .It had so much shine to it and it had a lot of volume to it. I am so impressed with this company., I hope you try out these soaps and see for your self how they really work to make your skin come a live and become what your skin used to be but even better than before your skin became dry and irritated.
Go to their website now and try these soaps www.daddyjaxsoap.com let your friends and relatives know how great these soaps are so they don't have to suffer needlessly with dry skin
