As I've told you before, Vitacost can be your one stop shopping place for items that are not only healthy, organic, and good for you, but may be hard to find in your local stores!

I was recently given the chance by Vitacost to review 3 different types of items from their very varied inventory! I was eager to show you what different types of products they offer, so I picked some that would be perfect for the Summer months ahead!

mauna loa gold sunrise coffee bagSummer means iced tea or iced coffee to me, and since the folks lived in Hawaii, one of my preferred iced coffees is a bag of Kona coffee, and I was eager to try the new Hawaiaan Gold Mauna Loa Sunrise Breakfast Blend coffee!  The Kona coffee is grown on the Mauna Loa island on the Perry Estate, Kona Gold Coffee Plantation on the slopes of Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano. The coffee is roasted in  Palm Beach, Fl., giving it a Southern link. The Kona Gold Coffee Plantation has a mission to grow quality coffee under an agro-forestry system, with a high level of biodiversity,ensuring the conservation of natural resources through good agricultural practices.They have even been certified by the Rainforest Alliance! This blend of Hawaiian Kona and other high mountain estate grown arabica coffee results in a smooth, full bodied, very mild acidity level, aromatic, mixture, that is perfect as a wake me up, or served as a ice coffee. In fact, I took it to work and substituted it for a local blend, and the guys agreed that is was very nice indeed and one that they could have every day!


Anti Monkey Butt Lady Anti Friction PowderSomething else that is needed down here in the South during Summer, is Anti Monkey Butt Lady Anti Friction Powder. This specially formulated powder provides the best solution to the discomfort that women often experience when using exercise equipment, running, driving, cycling or just walking, especially in our very humid South! Its unique ingredients , which include Calamine, work quickly to absorb sweat and provide cooling effective relief of irritation on the inner thighs and other areas of the skin prone to rubbing.

Once you try it, you will wonder why you haven't been using it, and it will be a staple in your bathroom too!

Something that is was totally new to me was Acure Organics Moisturizing Root Repair Argan Stem Cell + Mint hair maskThis 'where-have-you-been-all-my-life' deep conditioning treatment  restores moisture, manageability, shine and strength to your hair in only ONE treatment. With nourishing organic Argan oil and CoQ10, this acidifying treatment will protect the hair cortex, locking in moisture and color, while Argan stem cells dive into the follicle to strengthen, nourish and regenerate hair at the root. Great for treated, mistreated, blown out, blown up, limping-to-the-finish-line hair of all sorts.Since Summer is the mis-treatment era of hair care between flat ironing and chlorine from swimming pools, you know you need this stuff NOW! get your hair in shape and then keep it in shape! I was totally AMAZED at the difference in my hair in only one treatment, It was softer than any treatment I've EVER used, and was much more manageable without having to straighten it. And the shine was WOW!

It is very easy to use to:  you apply a small amount to wet scalp and comb through to those dry ends. Allow to penetrate for 5 minutes, rinse well, then off you go. Simple ans easy, and the smell of the mint is SO invigorating! You can use the hair mask 1-2 times a week, in place of your daily conditioner. SO far, once a week seems optimum for now, Once Summer hits in earnest, I'll switch to using it 2 times a week. I can't recommend this mask enough- it is super restorative to damaged hair!

I hope these 3 products have got you thinking about how Vitacost can help you find the items you need to survive the upcoming Summer months! They will be making our Summer a whole lot more pleasant!

Thanks Vitacost!
