SHINE Health Unstress® Supplement Review | Social Nature

I was invited by Social Nature to try out a supplement called "Unstress" by a Canadian brand called SHINE Health. With all the stress in my life right now, I jumped at the opportunity!

My Experince:

I have tried tons of stress busting supplements and a lot of them just don't work or I have an adverse reaction to them. I love that SHINE Health's Unstress only contain 2 ingredients, so there is less chance of having a negative reaction of some sort. 

I've been taking these every day for over 10 days now. It was on the 2nd day that I noticed that I was handling the stress in my life so much better! The effect is subtle as it's not like I take a capsule and suddenly feel relaxed. I am just handling all of life's stresses so much better, no longer feeling tied up in a knot like I'm going to combust! My mind in relaxed, and clearer. My sleep has also improved. I still wake up prematurely, but I'm usually able to fall back asleep now. As a result, I am much happier, as are the people around me, and I'm much more productive than I've been in a long time!

I feel that the more stress you are under, the more you may notice results. I've been dealing with a tremendous amount of stress due to serious family health issues and many other factors, it has been quite debilitating for me. But, as I mentioned, after taking the Unstress supplements, I am feeling  a lot less stressed and therefore I'm more productive.

Another thing that I've noticed is that the hot flashes that I had recently started getting have stopped! I'm not sure if it's related to this supplement or not, but I definitely need to look into it. 

I love that you only have to take one per day.  The eco-friendly, compostible packaging is the icing on the cake!

I am completely thrilled with this product and my results! I highly recommend giving them a try if you too need some stress relief. You can either make a one time purchase or you can subscribe to make sure that you don't run out.

Decluttering Series: Beauty Samples Stash Testing + Reviews #challenge

I love getting samples of new products to try but I don't always use them right away as I'm often trying to finish up some full size products that I'm using. Now I find myself in a sea of samples so to speak so I've decided to take on the task challenge of using up all of my samples.

Hair Samples

Face & Body

Other Samples

As you can see I have a lot to get through and these are only the small size sample that I've accumulated. I have given a lot of samples to friends and family when I had duplicates or items that I thought they would enjoy more than I would.

Storage

This is how I decided to store my samples to give me easy access until I finish them up. Oh, the victory I will feel when that day comes! All the hair samples are in the basket and everything else is in the clear zippered bag.

I will use a few samples each week and report back on my experience with the products. Some samples are one time uses and others will give me a few uses and may take longer to finish up. 

I am looking forward to this challenge! 

Here is what I tried this week:

-TreSemme 7 Day Keratin Smooth System- Wow, did I lose a ton of hair using this 3 step system. I lost a lot of hair during each step and I have no idea why. Maybe it's not suitable for fine, fragile, bleached hair, but I didn't read that on the packaging anywhere. I didn't even follow the part of the instructions that tell you to go over each section with the flat iron 3 times, once was enough for me. The end result was dry hair and it only remained straight for the 1st day, after that my waves started to come back. I did not notice any special straightening from this product over using any normal shampoo, conditioner and treatments.. other than a lot of hair shedding!  I have two more of theses samples and they are going straight in the garbage.

-LaCoupe Argan oil Smoothing Shampoo and conditioner- My fine, curly hair was totally weighed down by this products and looked dirty with no style. Maybe better suited for people with coarse hair.

-Garnier Makeup Removing Lotion Cleanser- This worked well at removing my makeup but still required a cleanse after. I prefer to remove my makeup with an oil, Micellar water or wipe over this lotion cleanser.

-Almay Smart Shade- This blended into my skin nicely and had light coverage that evened out my skin tone. I didn't have any irritation or breakouts from it but I found the shade turned dark on my light-medium skin tone. Maybe it oxidized or is the wrong shade. The sample was from a magazine insert and doesn't state the colour.

I hope you enjoyed this post and mini reviews. If you have a lot of samples to use up maybe you'll join me in this challenge.
