S'moo Supplements Review & Giveaway!

 

I have an exciting review & giveaway for all of you girlies who have had issues with hormone imbalances, PCOS and anyone just looking for a good over all daily multivitamin. I am excited to share a brand called S'moo with all of you! S'moo creates a number of multivitamin capsules and powders that target different struggles like skin & hair health or PCOS management. I've been wanting to try out a good multivitamin, so when I came across this brand & was reading some of the benefits it offers I was excited to try it out. I feel very lucky to have been offered the chance to work with them on not only a review, but a giveaway as well. When looking on their website, I decided to go with the PCOS bundle. 

So let's get to the review portion! We all know that sometimes it can be a pain getting proper diagnosis's and help from doctors and things get missed, they won't listen or sometimes it seems like they just don't care. When I was a teen, I had gone to see a doctor about some issues I was having and after bloodwork was told I had a hormone imbalance, but aside from the doctor trying out birth control to balance things out they never offered any more of an inquiry into how to balance things out & that I would eventually balance out as I got older. There was a time when I was prescribed iron pills for low iron & after I gave birth to my daughter I had to have a magnesium drip because it was too low so I know sometimes my vitamin levels are off. I've never been told I actually have PCOS or any other similar issue aside from the hormone imbalance, but I struggle with a lot of the same issues so I figured I would try it out this supplement bundle and see how things went. With so many different products out there, it can be difficult to find products that work for your needs and sometimes hard to find products that actually work. 

I wasn't sure what to expect, or if I'd actually notice a different. Let me say, I am both impressed & surprised! I didn't realize just how much I needed something like this. I've been using these supplements daily for about three weeks now & I feel so much better. My energy levels have increased, even in the mornings after I first get up I don't feel as groggy as I used to. I feel like I might have been holding onto more water weight than I had realized, and have noticed this helping get rid of it. I didn't really think of weighing myself before using the supplements since I didn't think I'd see much of a difference the first few weeks. By the second week of using this I honestly felt slightly crazy, because not only was I more energized but I could swear that one of my trouble areas seemed smaller. It wasn't until a unprompted comment from a loved one asking if I felt like I had lost anything as they noticed a slight difference too that I decided to jump on the dreaded scale so that I could track progress. I had checked again after Thanksgiving and was surprised to see that four pounds had disappeared in a week. The only real difference I had made was taking the supplements & going back to cutting out unneeded bread products. I think if I combine taking these supplements & starting back on doing yoga or a fitness routine that I will finally start to have progress! I've done workout routines before while watching my diet too and didn't see much results even after weeks so I think it was an added, holy cow moment using S'moo and feeling a difference already. I overall just feel better! 

Taste wise it isn't too bad! I mix my daily scoops into a small smoothie in the morning, sometimes I make a more tropical smoothie using juice and other times I'll use milk, bananas and strawberries instead. I do find milk is the best to mix it with, but it isn't too bad with the more fruity juices too. They sell an unflavored powder or you can get a flavored bottle to go with smoothies, mix into yogurt, etc. A bottle has about a months worth in it if you are using a full scoop everyday, they often have sales on their website & if you subscribe to have it delivered monthly instead of buying one month at a time you will get a discount that way as well.

Getting a mammogram is important to help catch cancer early!

Most of us probably know someone either directly or indirectly that has suffered from cancer, it is a silent killer, but thankfully in some cases if it is caught earlier enough it can be treated and many have been lucky enough to beat cancer completely. I recently attended a small "Mom's Day Out" event hosted by SimonMed Imaging that focused on women's health. Did you know one 1 out of every 8 women will likely develop breast cancer at some point in her lifetime? however if caught early it will greatly improve chances of survival.

We all generally lead busy lives, between work, family and finding some time to ourselves many aren't able to take an hour or two out of their day to head to their doctors office to get a mammogram. Did you know you don't have to go down to your doctors office and sit in the waiting room and exam room to get your mammogram? Instead you can visit MOM which is the Mobile On-site Mammography bus by SimonMed Imaging. This bus parks at various business locations such as office buildings, malls and more and offers quick and easy mammograms that take 15 minutes or less! I do not recall if it was the same bus, but where I work has actually had a bus like this come to park to allow the employees access to it, which makes getting a mammogram pretty convenient. During the event we had the pleasure of hearing Clare Colombo M.D who is a breast radiologist who works for SimonMed Imaging speak about mammograms the the MOM bus.

Who should get a mammogram? At one point all women should go in for a mammogram, they generally recommend getting your first at age 40. There is an exception to this and that is the "10 year rule", if you have a direct family member such as a aunt, sister, grandmother, etc take the age they got breast cancer into an account and subtract ten years from it. For example if your aunt was diagnosed with cancer at age 42, you should get one done at age 32 to be safe. This rule does not apply for anyone who was diagnosed with cancer in their 20's, as they do not perform mammograms on teenagers. The MOM bus uses 3D imaging to take four quick scans of your chest which are done right inside of the bus. We were given the chance to take a peek inside of the bus, it is quite comfortable it has plenty of seating, a private room for changing, a office area for the staff member, the screening room, and a small bathroom/kitchen area for the staff. The Hologic 3D mammography they use is FDA approved, the exams help reduce callbacks by up to 40%.

Once the imaging is completed you will receive results in about two weeks, if they call you for a call back there is no need to worry! Many times they just want to take a better look at something they are unsure of, some breast have more fat cells than others, and some have more tissues/glands that all look different on the scans so from time to time they might need a better angle on a image to see everything. Those with "dense" breast that are made up of mostly glands should get at least one ultrasound as well for the best results. After your first mammogram they recommend getting one done once a year to keep up on everything.

It is highly recommended that you do a monthly self check whether you are close to the mammogram age or not just to keep an extra eye out for any irregular changes. If you are in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area or the surrounding areas and want to schedule an appointment/find the closest event near you visit the  Mobile On-site Mammography website or call Catherine Midgette at 480-428-5877.

During this event we were also able to hear two other speakers who present information on different aspects of women's health. The first was Lorina Kormos from Derma Health & Lasers, who spoke about different skin treatments, laser hair removals and more. The second was Debra Wickman M.D who is a board certified gynecologist who specializes in sexual health and menopause. Both provided quite a bit of information on their topics and were pleasant to hear speak. Attendees were also given a nice little swag bag by some local sponsors to celebrate Mom!
