Essentials for a lush summertime
By Carla Snuggs
Summer is one of my favorite seasons! The beautiful sunny days, long summer nights and plenty of time at the beach and pool. There are some lifestyle, beauty and fashion products that I personally don’t want to be without this summer. Here is a roundup of some of my favorite products that I use to stay lush all summer long inside and out.
Floraspring by Revival Point
Floraspring by Revival Point is a natural probiotic supplement, developed by Dr. Steven Masley, host of #1 TV show 30 Days To A Younger Heart. It contains five unique “super strains”, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Bifidobacterium breve. These strains aid in digestion, promote good gut health, support calmer moods, help reduce body fat, and help reduce cholesterol, making Floraspring an effective supplement to help people reach and maintain their weight loss goals.
“I recommend these super strains to my celebrity clients to help them look great on-screen and also on the red carpet. They have seen great results, and not just in the way they look, but also in the way they feel,” said Ashley Hawk, a Hollywood-based nutrition expert with a Master’s in Nutritional Science. “Using these strains is without a doubt the most important thing I’ve given to them.”
Floraspring is available on the Revival Point website and on Amazon.
