ENDED-ShaToBu Review & Giveaway: The Tummy Shaping, Muscle Toning, Calorie Burning Workout You Wear

I have discovered a True MUST HAVE: The most incredibly comfortable Shapewear that I've owned, ShaToBu not only gave me a flattering silhouette, it also uses hidden resistance bands to help you burn calories and tone your tummy, legs and derrière! This is a new favorite product of mine and I am overjoyed to have the opportunity to not only review ShaToBu but  also offer a Giveaway for my readers, from this amazing line of toning undergarments. 

ShaToBu - The Workout You Wear - is the revolutionary shaper that helps women shape, tone and burn more calories during everyday activities. The benefits  go beyond ordinary shapewear-Shatobu instantly gives a sleeker silhouette, but women can also see and feel a difference in their bodies with regular use over time. By incorporating resistance bands right into the garment, muscles work a little harder and more calories are burned during daily activities.ShaToBu helps women fit a workout into their normal day, while looking and feeling great.

 

I was given the opportunity to review a product from Shatobu's line of Toning Shapewear. I chose the High Waist to Knee Shaper after much debate. I had tried a similar style of shapewear from another line and it constantly rolled down and was not effective or comfortable.
I am happy to say that Shatobu is the most effective yet comfortable shapewear that I have owned. I immediately put it on after receiving it and I found it to be more comfortable than other shapewear but it also improved my silhouette, allowing me to wear fitted tops without feeling self conscious. I really love that while Shatobu creates the appearance of a sleeker physique, it also helps you achieve an actual sleek physique! Shatobu has been scientifically proven to burn more calories while you are wearing it. Specially designed for optimal comfort, ShaToBu is meant to be worn all day, every day. I can't see a reason for not wearing these every day. Besides the High Waist to Knee Shaper, you can also purchase the Waist to Knee Shaper, plus they offer 3 styles of  Shaping Tights.
Other benefits that I found from wearing ShaToBu were that I actually felt better about myself. I was also more conscious of my posture and made a point to not slouch or slump. I just felt prettier -I also made to dress nicer the days that I've worn my ShaToBu shaper. Those are some of the goals I wanted to achieve with my "From Dowdy to 'Diva'licoious" Challenge so this is a product that is helping me reach many of the goals that I have set for myself. I will be recommending ShaToBu to anyone who will listen! 
Proven Technology:

ShaToBu was developed and tested by doctors and exercise physiologists at the University of Virginia and the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières to capitalize on the shaping advantages of a body slimmer and the exercise benefits of resistance technology.Independent clinical studies proved that women wearing ShaToBu burn up to 12% more calories during everyday activities. ShaToBu helps women achieve their goals of looking great and getting fit, without impacting their busy lives.

ShaToBu was featured recently on the popular TV show "The Doctors" and has been featured & approved by multiple magazines including Self and Redbook. Check out all the buzz on the "Whats New" feature on Shatobu's website.

Win a 30 Day Supply of alternaVites: Keep the Vitamin Lose the Pill-3 Winners Ends 11/05

alternaVites: Keep the Vitamins, Lose the Pill  I was offered the opportunity to review a new type of vitamin, unlike anything on the market. This product has made it possible for me and millions of other Americans who either can't swallow pills or have a hard time swallowing pills, to finally take a high quality multi vitamin on a consistent, daily basis. alternaVites contains 23 essential vitamins and minerals and is in the form of crystals that dissolve instantly when you place them on your tongue. You simply open the packet, pour on your tongue and it completely dissolves in an instant, making taking vitamins and quick and pleasant experience. There is no need for water, no mixing - it is incredibly fast & easy. alternaVites have a sweet berry flavor and they are conveniently packaged in small, stick packets that can be stored in a pocket, purse - virtually anywhere - making them a great choice for people on the go . One of the few things that most people can actually agree on is the importance of taking a quality multi vitamin on a daily basis. For most people, this may seem like an incredibly easy thing to do, but for me and millions of other Americans, it is anything but easy. I can swallow pills usually, but if they are large, like most vitamins, they often get lodged in my throat. If you’ve had this happen to you, you know it is an incredibly unpleasant-not to mention painful- situation. It can take hours for the pill to finally go down. Another problem I have with traditional multi vitamins is their taste and the way they smell - I just can’t tolerate it. Plus, it is difficult to find one supplement that contains all the vitamins and minerals that I want so I would have to take multiple pills, sometimes more than once a day. It would several minutes to sort the pills and put them into an organizer the night before, then it would take another several minutes to try to get the vitamins down my throat. After a few days, I would just quit taking the vitamins altogether.  I have had a box of alternaVites for the past two weeks and I have been able to stick to my goal of taking a daily multi vitamin consistently. As part of my "From Dowdy to 'Diva'licious" Challenge, I wanted to make a real effort to improve my health and with alternaVites help, I am off to a great start !
 The Product:alternaVites™ contains 23 essential vitamins and minerals specially formulated for those who experience difficulty swallowing pills, and for those looking for an easier way to take supplements. This full-spectrum multi-vitamin & mineral offers nutritional support for overall well-being, stress, and energy, Using a proprietary blend of ingredients, alternaVites™ melts quickly in your mouth and tastes great. Available in mixed berry flavor, alternaVites™ is delicious and leaves no vitamin/metallic aftertaste.

Unlike typical supplement pills that may be hard to swallow, there is no need for water or for any preparation with alternaVites™. Packaged in daily-dose packets, alternaVites™ is extremely convenient and perfect for those on-the-go.
What’s more? alternaVites™ has 0 grams of sugar, and is made with ingredients that are not derived from animals. alternaVites™ does not contain artificial colors, artificial flavors, or preservatives. alternaVites™ has been carefully formulated with ingredients that do not contain the major food allergens (egg, milk, peanut, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish); however, we encourage users with food allergies or sensitivities to consult a healthcare professional before use. Made in USA

ENDED-Enter to Win a Luxurious 3 Piece Set From Tsaleach Bath & Body, LLC Ends 11/03

THIS CONTEST IS OVER AND THE WINNER HAS BEEN NOTIFIEDJust in time for "From Dowdy to 'Diva'licious by December" and our Holiday Gift Guide, Tsaleach Bath and Body, LLC has generously agreed to host a second giveaway for the fantastic readers at Dixie Diva Deals! I know so many of you wanted to win the last set and now you have another chance! These are truly the best bath and body products that I have ever purchased - anyone who has read my blog in the past knows how much I love this company and all of their products. For this second phenomenal giveaway, www.MyTsaleach.com is offering the 3 piece set of Bath and Body products, including the amazing Lotion Bar, Body Butter and luxurious SLS free Shea Butter Soap! To find out how you can enter to win this set and to learn more about this amazing home based Bath and Body Company and their products, please read the details below from my review.

Tsaleach Bath and Body, LLC Review & Giveaway!I am so excited to share with you all a remarkable company that I found a few months ago and now I can't live without it! I began ordering from Tsaleach Bath and Body, LLC in August and since that first order, I have placed two subsequent orders and have another one in the works! Tsaleach Bath & Body is owned and operated by the wonderful Delene, a stay at home mother to 2 beautiful children. To learn how this company got it's beautiful and unique name, visit the Dixie Diva of the Week profile, featuring Delene!
www.MyTsaleach.com sells the most incredible products that are all handmade, mostly all natural and unbelievably affordable. The owner of Tsaleach Bath and Body not only sells these products, she also uses them on her entire family-including her baby girl starting when she was 6 months old. While I love the fact that this home based company uses the highest quality ingredients, I also appreciate that they make their products affordable and many items have more than one use! I can honestly use a soap, lotion bar and body splash and that covers my shampoo and body wash (castille soap), lotion and perfume (lotion bar) and leave in conditioner plus subtle fragrance that lasts all day(body splash). 

While I've ordered many products over the past 2 months, Tsaleach Bath and Body LLC was kind of enough to send me a package containing the items that will be in the giveaway set. The first product is .5 oz Lotion Bar. The lotion bar is an extremely popular item - if not the most popular in Tsaleach Bath & Body's line up.  It is a lush moisturizer that was carefully formulated with natural ingredients to hydrate and comfort dry skin. This is a must have for every mom or modern woman on the go. It is great for men too! This indulgent treat is not only a lotion, it can also be used as a solid perfume, a treatment for dry and cracked heels, cuticle cream and hand moisturizer, massage bar and is suited for all your hydration needs.  I can definitely attest to the fact that it leaves your skin extraordinarily hydrated and smooth. The sweet lili scent - my favorite - is a must have for my purse and I leave one in the bathroom and one in my bedroom at all times. Another use I have found for this versatile little wonder product is for my daughter's hair! It may sound strange but she has occasional flyaways and I put a bit of lotion bar on my hands and run the tiniest bit through her hair to make it shiny, smooth and fragranced. It's also great to keep in your purse so you can moisturize yours and your little darlings hands when you're out and about. The soaps and anti bacterial gels we use on the go dry out our skin terribly and this product replenishes your dry skin instantly. It will be a welcome treat this winter!

The next product is the indulgent and luxurious Goat's Milk Body Butter. It is even more wonderful than it sounds.  This product is a Heavenly whipped souffle that makes you feel so good. After applying this rich body butter, your skin will feel soft and dewy. I love to use it at night before bed. So does my little diva - she has used nearly half my jar! I wish there were words that could explain to you just how amazing this product truly is! Rich, whipped and decadent. It looks and smells good enough to eat! I assure you, once you try this Body Butter, you will be hooked too!


Finally, I want to tell  you about the soap you will be receiving. This isn't just any soap. This is exquisite, hand made soap that is filled with all the finest ingredients. Each soap is supremely moisturizing and they lather lusciously. When you get out of the bath, you have this light beautiful scent and a radiant glow emanating from your amazingly soft skin. I want to go take a shower right now just thinking about it. 


I could go on and on about my favorites and how much I love this fantastic company. I have never experienced such a high level of customer service as what www.MyTsaleach.com has provided. From the questions I posed with my first order to every interaction since then, Tsaleach Bath and Body LLC's owner has been incredibly gracious, professional and unbelievably knowledgeable. I have posted reviews before about my love of  Tsaleach products - I hope that you all will try them soon. They make great gifts but I bet once you get them, you'll want to keep them for yourself!!  


Not only is www.MyTsaleach.com giving a bath and body set to one lucky reader, they have also teamed up with Dixie Diva Deals for a promotion! For details on how to get a discount and gift with purchase on these amazing products, visit the promotion page now! 10% of all sales go to Lamb International, a fantastic non-profit organization!
