Let’s take a sneak peak

WHEY PROTEIN

Oh, my favorite weight loss weapon! So simple, yet so effective.

I can’t promote this supplement enough. Protein is a major building block in the body and essential for proper functioning of every cell in the body. Your muscles, bones, skin, hair and even blood need protein.

Protein can be found in many food sources including animal (chicken, beef, dairy and fish) and plant (legumes and nuts).

Protein can also be consumed through WHEY PROTEIN, a superior complete protein that contains all of the essential amino acids needed for proper immune function.

Unlike other proteins, Whey Protein is soluble and easily digested by the body.

How will slim & sculpt help boost weight loss efforts?

Incorporating protein to your diet will:

• Boost WEIGHT LOSS efforts*
• BUILD & REPAIR lean muscle*
• Stabilize blood glucose levels*
• SUPPRESS appetite*
• DETOX & BOOST Immune support*

What makes this formula unique?

• slim & sculpt is packed with 18g of Pure Whey protein Isolate

Here’s how I like to incorporate slim & sculpt in my day! I’m an early bird, so I usually workout in the morning for an intense hour. As my post workout nutrition and breakfast, I love throwing 2 scoops of vanilla slim & sculpt in the blender along with some of my favorite nutritious ingredients (kale, ginger and apple). Post workout nutrition is vital for building and recovering lean muscle. The protein shake also keeps my appetite suppressed until my next meal. slim & sculpt is also a great “snack” that I can have between meals or in the evening if I’m really hungry. There are endless recipes that contain Whey protein including oatmeal, protein pancakes or even delicious fruity shakes.

Get smart by adding whey protein into your diet plan and watch your body transform!

I also take a pill 30 minutes before lunch and dinner to help me eat less calories. I’m not caffeine sensitive, so I’m fine with taking this past 5 pm.

STARCH/ CARB BLOCKER

Too much of a good thing can be bad, and this definitely applies to excess carbs!

Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy, so yes… we need them! Our body is an amazing machine that runs on carbs, proteins, fats and other nutrients for optimum function, so it’s our duty to provide it with the proper fuel.

However, by overloading your body with excess carbs, you may start noticing an increase in your waistline… not cute.

All carbs metabolize into glucose in the body to be used by the body for energy or stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen.

Excess carbs however, are converted into fat. To avoid unnecessary fat storage,carb consumption should be monitored.

A great way to help reduce the amount of carb conversion to fat, is to use carb attack!

carb attack is a unique combination of Phase 2™ brand starch neutralizer, Gymnema Sylvestre and Chromemate® brand chromium. Together these three active ingredients work together
to promote healthy and effective weight control by promoting fat
burning, maintaining normal blood glucose levels and neutralizing
the calories from complex carbohydrates.

In a recent double-blind study in humans, Phase 2™ starch neutralizer decreased the percentage of caloric burden from complex carbohydrates by 60%.*

Carbohydrates are needed by the body for energy. Current
research recommends a carbohydrate intake of approximately
130 grams per day for weight reduction. carb attack is ideal
for those whose carbohydrate intake is higher than that.
Excessive carbohydrate intake in the form of empty calories will
be stored in the body as fat. Learning to manage carbohydrate
intake is a key to successful weight loss.

• One capsule of carb attack blocks up to 100 grams
  (400 calories) of starch.*
• Carb Attack is a supplement that can be used strategically to
  support weight loss and weight management
• Carb Attack is vegetarian and yeast free.

carb attack Supplement Facts 1 Capsule Contains Chromium (as Chromium Polynicotinate, Chromemate® brand) 100 mcg Phaseolus vulgaris (white kidney bean, Phase 2™ brand) Extract 500 mg Gymnema sylvestre (leaf) 100 mg Other ingredients: vegetable cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose. Chromemate® is a registered trademark of InterHealth N.I. Phase 2™ phaseolus vulgaris is a trademark of Pharmachem Laboratories, Inc.. • Warning: If you are pregnant, lactating, diabetic, or hypoglycemic consult your physician before taking this product. • Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule with water, before any meal containing carbohydrates from starch, or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Here’s how I like to incorporate carb attack in my day! Unless you’re eating lettuce and lean protein all day (which is not fun or healthy), almost all foods contain carbs. I like to take 1 capsule 30 minutes before my main meals, and an extra one if I want to sneak a cookie on the weekend. My oatmeal and fruit contains carbs, my side of brown rice for lunch contains carbs and my medium sweet potato for dinner also contains carbs. On my cheat day, I love me some pizza! So to “cheat” on my cheat day, I pop a carb attack to reduce and inhibit some of the starch in my meal. I have definitely noticed weight reduction and more energy when I began to understand and moderate my carb consumption. Now it’s your turn to see for yourself!

Finally, my best friend the….

GENTLE COLON CLEANSER

There’s nothing funny about colon health!

Many people suffer from improper bowel function from too frequent (diahrrhea) and infrequent visits to the bathroom and constipation (hard, difficult to pass). Not cute….

Leading causes of improper bowel function are dehydration, poor diet, hormones and use of certain medication.

A few ways to help regulate and improve colon health naturally, a person can drink plenty of water, eat fibrous fruits and veggies, reduce stress and exercise.

When all the above fails to regulate your system, try a scoop of smooth sailing!

  and maintain villi*

  the immune system, aid regularity and support the
  production of beneficial bacteria*

  cells*

If you take an extra look at the ingredients, you will notice that this powerful powder contains 6 grams of protein and packed with L-Glutamine (5000 mg) which are both beneficial for building and recovery of muscles. So, I scoop one serving of this fruit flavored mix into my shake in the morning, and head to work! If I don’t put it in my shake in the morning, then I’ll blend it with a tiny bit of juice at night before I sleep. It’s very gentle, and doesn’t cause me to cramp like other colon cleansers.

There’s just something so attractive about a healthy summer glow, but it has to be just right. Not too orange and not too dark. I like to keep my skin from head-to-toe radiant and J-Lo glowing most of the time (plus, it makes my muscles appear more defined).

Since it’s not summer time yet and I can’t get my proper dose of natural sun glow, I have to resort to other options. My options are jumping in a tanning bed or finding the perfect self-tanner.  

Hmm… the tanning bed definitely has its perks. I can jump in for as little as 10 minutes and achieve a that summer tone, privacy is always nice, tan lines are minimal to none at all, and my favorite part… I can dose off and get some zzzs! The negative part of the tanning bed is obvious: harmful UV rays. Exposing your skin to the harmful rays can cause premature aging and skin dryness.

 

I always like take my skin health into account when considering beauty treatments. No tanning bed is worth me looking like a prune in the next 10-20 years, so I’d rather opt for make up and self-tanners instead.

 I’m going to share with you a few of my favorite products that I’m sure you’ll enjoy as well.

 

Let’s start with my favorite self-tanner!

Malibu Hemp Golden Glow was introduced to me through my gym buddy Shaneek AKA Miss Murder. I think we were both discussing tanning and she later offered me a full pump bottle of it to try. Since I adore anything hemp-related (because of its amazing benefits), I gave it a go. I fell in love with it! Not only did the product provide me with a natural summer glow, but it also infused my skin with CoQ10, and ultra hydrating Coconut Oil and Virgin Hemp seed Oil. Malibu Hemp Golden Glow is an all-in-one potion that contains a self-tanner, moisturizer, skin firmer and a wrinkle reducer. Oh.. and it smells unbelievable! Yay! Thanks Shaneek!

Now, let’s talk about my favorite make up!

Depending on the season, I always invest in the perfect shade of bronzer. I like to purchase a light,

peach-colored bronzer for the fall/winter time, and then a darker, more bronze shade for the spring/summer.

Black Radiance bronzers are gorgeous! Apply your foundation of choice, followed by a concealer to cover up any blemishes and then finish it off with this beautiful blend of bronze. They also offer lighter shades of peach for the more fair skin.

 

 

SW Mineral make up eye-shadows are great for creating a subtle brightening for the eye area. I love applying a little bit of the white shade (pure & modest) on the corners of my eyes to make them pop a little more, and a warmer hue on the lid (divine). click here to buy.

Psst.. here’s another trick: Take the warm/bronzy color shadows and apply a touch to your arms and legs and even on your hair for an additional touch of glow.

Voila! You’ll instantly look radiant, healthy and glowing without the damage of the tanning bed.

My mommy always preached that a woman should always look good.

A woman should act proper and ladylike, cook well, smell good and always apply makeup! Oh.. and respect herself of course.. you know.. the cow and free milk lecture that every daughter gets.

She would say “Thank God for makeup, because we would never have husbands!”

I don’t think men care about the make up as much as the … you know what…  Animals! Just kidding.. 

Suffering from acne and uneven skin tone most of my life, I was forced to apply makeup to cover up my crazy pizza face. Through trying many varieties of foundations, I fell in love with the properties that mineral powders offered. It helped even my skin tone, didn’t clog my pores, and provided a natural sunscreen to help reduce everyday sun damage.

I was exposed to Bare Minerals and became addicted but not to the price. I was very disappointed at how much profit was involved in loose powder, so I decided to do the research and create similar products at a more affordable price. Everyone deserves to try great products without breaking their budget.

Makeup application was always a fun time for me. I felt like a painter and mixed and blended all my colors and foundations to create my own unique look. I always got complimented on my skin, but if they only knew what was underneath.

I started getting offered to do makeup applications for weddings, proms and other festive events. I couldn’t claim to be a master make up artist, but I could say that I loved anything that revolved around make up!

Instead of spending so much money on purchasing name brand makeup, I decided to venture and create my own. After a few years of hard work, I finally completed Smallworld Beauty Cosmetics, a line that was created so that you can also be an artist.

Be a Picasso with these12 Multi Purpose Vibrant Powders.

 

Smallworld Beauty Mineral Powders can be transformed into Eye shadow, Eye liner, Lip color, Hair tint and more!

Here are some examples of how you can become a painter and produce a beautiful masterpiece on yourself and others.

EYE SHADOW: Dip your brush into any of the beautiful hues of powder and apply away!

EYE LINER: Using a thin brush, dampen the tip and dip into your powder of choice. line away!

LIP COLOR: Dip your lip brush into your sexy color of choice and apply on your lips. Apply a clear gloss or shimmer lip stick on top. Once again, mix and blend the colors to create a unique tone to fit you.

BODY GLITTER: Sprinkle a little powder into your palm and add your favorite body lotion. Blend it well and apply all over your arms and legs for a sexy evening look.

HAIR HIGHLIGHTER: sprinkle a little of the powder on to your hands and streak away. Mix a little of the sparkle/glitter one with some of your favorite gel and apply all over. Watch your hair shine.

I would love to hear how crazy and creative you can get with Smallworld Beauty Cosmetics.

Visit the shop and check out the special offer.

If you are curious on how Smallworld Beauty got started, then feel free to read more below:

I researched all there was to know about Mineral Makeup from the manufacturing process, to eye catching packaging. I ordered bags of mineral powder, thousands of jars from china, and custom labels. As soon as my inventory arrived, I designated work to my family and spent hours on end in the basement producing the final product.

My eldest bro Mo (Picture) took on the title and duties of my marketing manager. Using his artistic talent, he created the look and image of Smallworld Beauty products, logo and web site design.

 My younger computer genius bro built my web site and taught me how to run it. My mom made sure we were well fed.

During this time, I realized that after putting up all the money for inventory and supplies, Mineral makeup really did not cost as much as the major companies were charging.

Including materials and labor, my make up only costs a few dollars to make. I did not feel right selling something so cheap at such a high price. I began promoting and selling my makeup line for under $10, almost 50% cheaper than other lines.

In addition to being affordable, Smallworld Beauty mineral makeup is comparable to the brand names. All mineral makeup contains the same basic ingredients of mica, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Mineral Make up offers anti-inflammatory properties to help with reducing redness, and is free of irritants, dyes and fragrances.

I look forward to you trying the product!
