Worth a Second Look: Organic Burst

Hello Lovlies!

During the second semester of my freshman year I came across some natural supplements that I am excited to try and show all of you. The brand is called Organic Burst. To see the website click on the name anytime you see it in the blog, including the previous sentence. Organic Burst carries their supplements in pill form and powder form if you want to mix them into a smoothie or a shake. Below are the different supplements, their benefits and where they originate. If you need any ideas or recipes for how to make a shake with these supplements or incorporate them into your meals follow them on Instagram by clicking here. The link will direct you straight there. I really recommend that you check out their website. It has more information about their products, why you should choose their products, and directions on how to take the supplements and how many you should take daily.

Yours Truly,

Acai Berry

Organic Burst only sales the capsule form of this Amazon fruit from Brazil. Acai is rich in essential fatty acids omega 3-6 and contains omega-9 oleic acid. It is recommended as part of a daily beauty routine by beauty experts and is great to incorporate into a post-workout shake. Before taking this supplement regularly I would suggest talking to your doctor about Acai Berry because I personally know a few people who have consumed products with Acai Berry and it lowered their blood pressure too low. Acai doesn't effect me in that way and I get it all the time in smoothies. Everyone's health is different, but as a precaution, mention the supplement to your physician just to be sure it's safe for you.



Spirulina

OrganicBurst sells both the powder and capsule form of this supplement. Spirulina is a plant that has existed on our planet for billions of years and is native to civilizations like the Aztecs. Spirulina contains Vitamin B6, iron, Thiamine, and is rich in protein. The Vitamin B6 and iron helps strengthen the immune system and helps support healthy brain and cognitive function. Thiamine contributes to the normal functions of the heart. Spirulina's richness in protein (60-70%) is four times more absorbent than protein. This supplement is a powerhouse, especially for those who do not eat as much red meat and pork. The protein in Spirulina makes up for that and some.





Chlorella

Again, OrganicBurst sells this supplement in both powder and capsule form. Chlorella is a microalgae that contains high levels of folic acid, Vitamin D, iron, Vitamin K, iodine, zinc, and Vitamin B2. Chlorella helps form new cells in your body, promotes detoxification, supports the liver gallbladder, and kidneys, and provides immune system benefits.













Baobab


Organic Burst only sells this African superfood in powder form. It offers a high amount of Vitamin C, iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. The vitamin C helps with alertness and energy, supports the immune system, and boosts iron uptake. Baobab is hydrating and aids with a healthy nervous system due to its potassium content.













Wheatgrass


Organic Burst sells wheatgrass in powder form. It is a rich source of chlorophyll, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, energy-metabolising minerals, and fiber. The wheatgrass powder contains Vitamin A, antioxidants, and a good source of essential fatty acids that help promote healthy skin. It also boosts energy and can aid in weight loss.














Maca
Last, but certainly not least, Maca is known as Peruvian Ginseng and has been used in Peru for many many years. Organic Burst provides this Peruvian wonder in powder form. Maca strengthens the body and helps maintain optimal stamina and endurance. It acts as a caffeine-free energizer and also, just as important, it helps with sexual health. Studies have been done that show that the Maca powder boosts sexual desire in both men and women without any adverse effects on sexual hormones.










All of the information that I have written on this blog came directly from the OrganicBurst.com website. I personally do not advise anyone to take all of these supplements at the same time. I would say that taking 2 or 3 of them would be safe. I would advise you to ask your doctor or an actual health professional about taking these supplement. Again, everyone's health is different therefore everyone will have different responses to these pills and powders. I personally would like to try the Spirulina powder for protein, Chlorella pills for all of its functions, and Maca powder for energy.

Which supplements would you be interested in trying?

Just in Time for the Sun: Ladies

Hello my lovlies! The Spring semester is over. Which means it is time to live it up in the summer time. This year's Summer is going to be totally different. Now that I'm in college and working I have a new appreciation for Summer break and the season of beach trips, spontaneous adventures, and warm nights. To accompany these great adventures and memories, clothes play a fun factor in a summer to remember. I haven't done a "fashion" post since the fall/winter season and I think it's about time I pop a little more color and style into this precious blog of mine. Hope you all enjoy my picks for this year's summer season. ^.^

Yours Truly,

Maxi Dresses
I will admit, I have fallen in love with these and the simplest way to define them is that they are long dresses. When I was younger I refused dresses with a passion. I thought they were too girly. I was so wrong! Dresses, especially maxi dresses in particular, are so light, comfy, and versatile. They can be worn casually or can be dressed up with a few accessories and a nice bag. Maxi dresses are definitely my go to attire. Whether the dress is one solid color or patterned from top to bottom, there is just something about them that won't let me stray away.













High Waisted Shorts
I've noticed that these shorts have risen in popularity and I think they're perfect for the summer. I have yet to where these shorts only because I have doubts about whether I would look right in them. But I definitely applaud those that can rock these shorts right.



















Maxi Skirts
Maxi skirts are my second go to attire. They aren't constricting and can be dressed up or down or anyway you want to.













What are your summer go to clothing items? :)
