When I was first told about AgroLabs, I didn't know what products they have available. I've read more info about it and learned about the health benefits that these liquid dietary supplements provide. I was given the opportunity to try out a few samples: Wheat Grass Boost, 12 Hour Detox, and Peaceful Sleep.

The holidays are the most magical time of the year; but between running around to buy the best gifts, having guests over and holiday parties to attend, it’s easy to forget about taking care of you. Maintaining a health digestive system and immune system is important.

Below are just a few of AgroLabs products to try:



Wheatgrass BOOST – A Hollywood favorite, AgroLabs brings all of the nutritional benefits of the popular wheatgrass ingredient to the market in an affordable, convenient and delicious shot format. Wheatgrass juice is popular for its 46 nutrients and trace minerals, including Vitamins B3, B6 and B12.





12 Hour Overnight Cleanse & Detox – AgroLabs 12 Hour Detox helps you to help you feel refreshed and rejuvenated after the stressful and over-eating holiday season. The kit comes in 2 bottles: one is the Acai Triple Strength Cleanse that you take at night, and the other bottle is the Green Envy Triple Strength Detox that you take the next morning. The revolutionary shots require a simple two-step, 12 hour process that allows for effective cleansing and cellular detox without disrupting the normal daily routine and without enduring a 15 or 30 day regimen.

The first shot combines all the best from the acai berry, pure young green coconut water, green tea, aloe vera, hibiscus, ginger, senna, and milk thistle. When proper intestinal and colon function is achieved, you feel lighter, free to move, and more energized. The second shot consists of a premium blend of natural superfoods that aid in total body cellular cleanse, supporting digestion, metabolism, and a healthy immune system. Ingredients include barley grass, wheat grass, green tea, broccoli, spirulina, chlorella, cucumber, spinach, kelp, and parsley.

I'm loving the new Bosch Tassimo Single Server Coffee Maker that the hubby bought. It was on sale at Future Shop for $99.99 (regular price $199.99). I can make lattes, coffee, hot chocolate very quick and easily.






Bosch TASSIMO on-demand hot beverage system is the only on-demand brewer that uses smart, barcode technology. This patented technology reads each TASSIMO T DISC and tells the machine how to perfectly brew the selected beverage, with a simple push of a button. Whether you want a milk latte, tea, hot chocolate or Starbucks, TASSIMO delivers a perfect café-quality beverage.

TASSIMO is very easy to operate, brewing a perfect cup with consistent taste and temperature every time. All you have to do is choose a beverage T DISC from more than 25 varieties of premium coffee house quality beverages. Simply place the T DISC in the machine, press the button, and TASSIMO does the rest. Each T DISC displays a barcode which tells the TASSIMO the precise water temperature, water level and pressure to use for each hot beverage type, and it's ready in seconds - with no taste transfer.

In fact, the toughest part of using the TASSIMO is choosing what beverage to make. TASSIMO brews a wide selection of coffee, latte, cappuccino, crema, espresso, chai latte, tea and hot chocolate from leading brands including Starbucks Coffee, Maxwell House, Nabob, Twinings, Kenco, Gevalia, Jacobs, Mastro Leorenzo and Carte Noir.

What is Vapur? Vapur is a stylish, fold-able, reusable water bottle designed to go anywhere you go. Unlike traditional rigid bottles, Vapur is flexible, which means it stands upright when full and can be rolled, folded or flattened when empty. It easily fits into pockets, purses, packs or briefcases. The highly-durable bottle is freezable and dishwasher safe and can be safely reused again and again. The attached carabineer allows you to clip it anywhere you go.




I was given the opportunity to try this out and received the original orange Vapur. Other colors available are green, purple, blue, pink, and smoke.








When I'm finished with it, I can just roll it up and put it in my pocket or bag and don't need to think about throwing bottles away. I'm an eco-friendly mom who's always looking for ways to save money, reuse, and recycle. Before, I used to use an aluminum bottle filled with filtered water all the time. I don't bring it out very much because I'm already carrying a heavy diaper bag. Now that I've been introduced to Vapur, it made my life more convenient. Drinking enough water is important for your health and this has motivated me to drink more water wherever I go. I think Vapur is a great idea and it saves space!






BUY IT
Vapur can be purchased directly from their online store at a reasonable price.
