    Have You Tried SmartMune

    “Intelligent Immune System Support”

    I recently got back from 8 weeks of traveling, and spent a good chunk of my time jumping on and off planes. Travelling usually makes me really tired, reeks havoc on my skin, and I usually catch some form of a cold, long story short, my health always seems to suffer. Lucky for me, I received a bottle of SmartMune, and as soon as I read all of the wonderful things it does, I promptly popped one in my mouth before jumping on the plane.

    So what’s SmartMune?? SmartMune is a natural ingredient that is clinically proven to strengthen the body’s key immune responses. It activates billions of innate immune cells that are part of the body’s natural defences without overstimulating the immune system.

    So what does it do exactly?

    • Strengthens the function of key immune cells
    • Maintains energy, vitality and mental clarity, reduces fatigue and tension
    • Activates key immune cells to protect against the harmful effects of stress
    • Supports general health and well-being
    Once swallowed, immune cells in the gastrointestinal tract take up SmartMune and transport it to immune organs throughout the body. While in the immune organs, immune cells called macrophages digest SmartMune into smaller fragments and slowly release them over a number of days.

     What makes SmartMune so special? The biological activity of SmartMune is a result of its unique molecular structure. The molecular difference between SmartMune and other immune products is significant because even the slightest structural difference can affect bioactivity.

    So basically, I never had any colds, headaches, no tension, no fatigue, NADA. I was perfectly fine throughout my entire vacation, despite getting on and off a plane at least once a week. For more info on SmartMune visit their website, there’s also SmartMune for kids!

    stay healthy 🙂

    ps: SmartMune is also free of any genetically modified organisms and is non-allergic.

    Love These!: React by Sof Sole Insole Line

    Did you know that the average person creates over one million pounds of impact to their feet and legs by just walking one mile?! I didn’t, but now that I do I’m making more of an effort to reduce the impact of walking/running on my feet and legs. I recently received two pairs of React Airr Active and React Airr Support by React by Sof Sole, and immediately put them in my running shoes and in my walking shoes to test them out. I noticed the difference IMMEDIATELY. I was able to run longer while at the gym, as my feet were super comfortable, and I didn’t feel that sometimes irritating feeling I get in my feet, ankles and right knew. Magic! Even jump roping (which I love) has become much more enjoyable thanks to these bad boys!

    Then I took them for a walk, and walked all over downtown for about 4 hours, and didn’t feel the need to sit down once, or jump on the next street car just so I could rest my feet. It was fantastic. No pain, no nothing. I’m in love.

    So what makes these insoles so awesome? Well… they have an ergonomic design which accommodates all foot types and the air chamber and polymer gel technologies maximize performance, shock absorption, breathability and comfort.

    The Goods:

    • Polymer Gel Forefoot: Absorbs shock and reduces pressure points during toe off while running of playing sports.
    • Polyurethane Foot Bed: Provides lightweight and durable comfort for the entire foot.
    • Encapsulated Air Chamber: Optimizes cushioning by decelerating impact forces on heel strike and rebounding on lift-off.
    • Contoured Heel and Arch: Designed for athletes with neutral to high arches.
    • Moisture Management: Proprietary technology wicks moisture away from the foot surface and keeps your feet cooler and dryer.

    I’ve been wearing mine everywhere, and if I could put them in my heels I would… hmmm that’s an idea. If you’re looking to improve performance in the gym, when playing sports, or just want to make your walking a more pleasant experience; RUN to the nearest Foot Locker and get yourself a pair. Do it. The React Airr Active is available for men and women for $29.99 and the React Airr Support is #34.99, also available for men and women. Now go and get a pair. You’ll thank me later.

    Thank you to Sof Sole for sharing this with us!

    @makeupshowlive London Event Carnival Weekend

    Yesterday I went to the Cumberland Place Hotel for London’s Makeup Show Live on Carnival weekend. We met with X-Factor’s makeup artist Natalya Nair and she gave us some insight on celebrity makeup tricks for clients like Dannii Manogue. What I really enjoyed is that she simplified makeup for real women to understand and attribute to their personal way of life.

    Of course we can’t go through a makeup event with a little catwalk. These girls have amazing skin. Jelly!

    Along the many exhibitors showcasing new all-natural products, I discovered a gem. Bella Lucce has blown me away with their hand cream. Lemongrass and coconut? OMG. Dying. I don’t want to wash my hands.

    Until next time. Cheers! @missamandachen

    @FoodiesFestival London Event

    When the sun actually does come out, London is absolutely fantastic in the summer. I took a trip to the west and spent the weekend at Battersea Park for the London Foodies Festival. Now, there may not be a patio hanging out on the streets of London, but it appears you can drink literally anywhere outside, including a bus.

    But that’s not all! They even had ice cream chocolate bars. FOR FREE! I’m freaking out. The ice cream Snickers bar gave me a food-gasm.

    But beyond all the free food everywhere, you can actually learn a thing or two about making your own food. This guy had some audience members come up and cook with him. Fortunately I didn’t volunteer or we’d be stuck on a toilet for the rest of the night.

    Did you know that the English love their sausage? I had no idea how many ways they can be made. The selection on street dog stands seriously need an upgrade.

    Oh yeah, one more thing. Forget Strongbow. There’s a massive selection of Magners ciders — my fave is pear! Soooo refreshing.

    If you missed it this weekend, check out the website for more locations near you.

    Until next time, Cheers! @missamandachen

    @TheNailsShow London Event Launch

    I know I can’t be the only girl obsessed with nails, and I finally found a place to call home with @TheNailsShow today at CARGO. For £15 at the door you can glam up your nails with other like-minded divas.

    I got to chat with Nicole, the founder of Total Renewal who created tonights event. She realized the growing need for nail buffs to have a place to shine outside of the salon. As she says, ““Nails have become an accessory, a fashion statement and a part of our regular grooming.”

    This is the first time I witnessed a manicure show-down. With only 20 minutes to design it was as intense as Hell’s Kitchen.

    This is my favourite look of the day. Aren’t they pretty?

    This sure beats mani-dates at the salon! Follow @TheNailsShow to check out who also attended tonight’s event and make sure to mark your calendar for the next one.

    Until next time! Cheers, @missamandachen
