Twin Lab Diet Fuel Forskohilii Review


If losing weight is on your to-do list for the new year, you might be curious about diet supplements that can help you along with that process. But do they work? I know I always wonder that when I walk by diet supplements in the store or my local GNC.

I was sent a 30 day supplement of Twin Lab Diet Fuel Forskohili to try over the holidays. Diet Fuel combines clinically-tested levels of three weight management nutrients to help you lose weight and gain energy.* 
  • Coleus Forskohlii: Support weight management with this traditional ayurvedicherb.* 
  • Green Tea Extract: Boost energy and focus with this powerful thermogenic.* 
  • Chromium: A critical trace mineral that helps you burn fat.* 
* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

The instructions tell you to take one capsule twice a day 20-30 minutes before a meal. Now, I don't know about you but except for dinner, I have a hard time knowing a full 30 minutes in advance of when I'll be eating. My toddler keeps me on my toes and our schedule stays pretty flexible. The best I was usually able to do was 15 minutes before. And this might be why I saw no change in my weight over the 30 days that I tried this supplement.

Knowing that I had a hard time following the instructions exactly, I won't blame the lack of results on the supplement. This may be a key point, though, to those considering trying it: If you have a hectic life and will struggle to have 30 minutes advance warning that you will be eating, this might not be for you.

Other reviewers online have said they saw changes and one reviewer on the GNC website said they lost 10 pounds while taking it. If you're game to try it out yourself, GNC has a coupon code that will get you $3 off your purchase of Twin Labs Diet Fuel. Just use coupon code *20376* when you check out.

I received free product in exchange for this review. All opinions are 100% mine and do not necessarily reflect those of the manufacturer or vendors of this product. Please see my complete review policy for additional information.

Lullaby Organics Jammy Sale and Review

Don't you just love the feeling of a new set of snuggly warm jammies? And there are few things more adorable that kids all jammied up and ready for bed.

Which is why I was really excited to work with Erin from Lullaby Organics to showcase some of the awesome organic cotton jammies she has in her shop (many of which are on sale through the end of March!)

The set she sent for my little man is this adorable set of dinosaur jammies by Frugi. Not only are they organic cotton, which I love, but they are super adorable, too!  My little guy had a blast running around in them.

Because organic cotton is not treated with all the harsh chemicals that keep conventional cotton from shrinking, there is some shrinkage that's going to happen but the Frugi jammies are cut generously in order to accommodate. No need to buy a size up! The bum is also cut in a way that will fit both cloth and regular diapers (score!).

Why should you check out the Organic Cotton Jammies at Lullaby Organics?
  • They're adorable! Lullaby Organics has different jammy styles and prints available for kids of all ages and sizes. (Check the selection out here)
  • Organic cotton means less icky chemicals near your kiddo AND less icky chemicals in our enviroment. (want to read more about why organic cotton is better, go to the Frugi site here)
  • These jammies are durable. The pajamas from Frugi that K is wearing are really well made and I can tell they will last for way longer than he will fit in them. I know Erin personally selects all the items for sale in the Lullaby Organics shop so you can trust anything she's selling will stand up to her high quality standards.
  • Stake out your faves to get ready for the sale! Some of her PJs are on sale now but the biggest sale is going to land in April. Stake out your faves now so when the sale drops, you can swoop in and buy your faves for a great price!
We love our new Frugi jammies and I'm sure you'll love all the awesome organic products for sale at Lullaby Organics (they sell way more than pajamas PLUS they have a sale section that has some things for a downright steal). Check them out today just in time to stock up are great kid gear and toys that will last for Easter!

I have received compensation including free product from Lullaby Organics for posting this review and linking to their site. All opinions expressed in the review are 100% mine. I was not paid to give the Frugi pajamas or Lullaby Organics a positive review. They earned my praise by being awesome.
