Lipton Publicity

A couple weeks ago, I shared about Part One of my food intolerance testing with York Test Labs. Quick summary: I was given the opportunity to take an at-home food and drink intolerance test. I sent two little cotton swabs of blood to be tested for over 200 common intolerances. Note: this blood test checks for intolerances (some are possible intolerances), not allergies.

Disclosure: Lipton Publicity provided a sample, and the opinion I express is 100% my own.

I’m back to share my results with you! Via email, I received these results:

The top red ones (in the first photo) with the black dots are what my blood reacted to. The only one I’m sad and surprised by is the cocoa bean! I’ll definitely have to get more info on the specifics of that. If I can’t have chocolate ever, what kind of life would that be?! 😉

I’m not surprised by the milk and eggs (including yolk). I’m bummed about beef, because I love a good cheeseburger. With the eggs, it’s funny: exactly 5 years ago, I started eating food that only felt good in my body, even though some of the foods I couldn’t eat were considered healthy. Here’s the post:

That post was specifically talking about eggs! Eggs have always made me feel bloated, despite never feeling full. It felt good reading these results and knowing it wasn’t all in my head.

The yellow food/drinks with the black dots are things my blood sort of reacted to. Those are possible intolerances, but not a “for sure.” Everything else, I didn’t have a reaction to! Pretty awesome.

Had I taken this test a year ago, I’d be so sad about the intolerances to wine. But, luckily, I no longer drink, so it’s not a big deal to me.

After receiving the results, you’re given a phone number to call and schedule TWO 30-minute nutritional therapy sessions! You’ll talk with a professional to better understand your results and ask any questions. You’ll also receive a food diary and guidebook.

I feel extremely satisfied with the testing process with York Test Labs, and the results I received. I highly recommend checking out their website to learn more, & to purchase your own kit! There’s nothing more important than your health.

I’m maid of honor in my best friend’s wedding this Friday, which is super exciting! I’ve been getting “wedding ready” … you know, figuring out hairstyles, deciding which makeup to use, spray tan, and of course, a pedicure! Pedicures are awesome. My favorite part is when they shave the dead skin/callouses from the bottom of your feet. It sounds gross (and kind of is), but if you’ve ever had a pedicure, you understand how great it is. This is where Emjoi’s Micro-Pedi comes in handy.

Disclosure: I received an Emjoi Micro-Pedi for product testing from Lipton Publicity. No monetary compensation was received. All opinions are 100% my own.

Pedicures can be pricey. They generally last one month. If you have $40+ to drop that often, then that’s great! But if you’re like me, you don’t. So I choose to do my own pedicures. 🙂

First, I use a foot bath. I like the Conair Foot Spa with Vibration and Heat (affiliate link/photo shown below).

Then I use Earth Therapeutics Tea Tree Oil Footsoak (affiliate link/photo shown below).

I soak the skin on my feet with the foot bath, exfoliate with the tree tea oil scrub, dry off my feet, paint my nails, and then use the Micro-Pedi.

It’s incredibly easy to use, and my feet feel like a baby’s bottom when I’m done. It doesn’t hurt (though sometimes tickles); just make sure not to keep it in the same place for more than 3-5 seconds. You simply move it back and forth over the desired areas, and voila! It feels just like it would at a nail salon.

Also, it’s much safer than the metal scrapers they use at the salon. So that’s a big plus!

According to the American Podiatric Medical Association website, “Your feet must last a lifetime and most Americans log an amazing 75,000 miles on their feet by the time they reach age 50.”

Great looking, smooth feet are youthful, more alluring, comfortable and imperative for health, sports participation and grooming.

Here’s my left foot before using the Micro-Pedi, and after ONE USE!

Pretty amazing, am I right?

The Emjoi Micro-Pedi costs $39.95 on the Emjoi website (with free same-day shipping), or you can get it for $14.95 (with Prime shipping) on Amazon (affiliate link).
