Tiger Nuts - They're awesome - who knew?!

Last night my Tiger Nuts arrived in the mail. What are Tiger Nuts? Hee hee... not what you're thinking!

Here's what Tiger Nuts has for a Product Description:

Product Description

We are Tiger Nuts, and we are NOT Nuts!

Actually Tiger Nuts are probably the "Healthiest 'single source' snack food on the market", and they have been that way for over 4000 years and they are a Tuber, which makes them Vegan, but taste like a nut.

Tiger Nuts are 100% Gluten Free, 100% Organic, 100% NUT FREE, 100% Dairy Free, 100% Allergens Free, High Fiber (33%), Low in Calories & Fats, High in Nutrition and taste great too!

The people that like Tiger Nuts are into health and well-being, paleo, working out, can read the back label of a pack, struggle with celiac, diabetes, weight loss (they curb your appetite) and are generally looking for a snack that will hold them over to the next meal. It is enjoyable, tastes great and does you good too!

And from their website:

So what the....are Tiger Nuts? Well, here’s the shocker! Tiger Nuts are NOT nuts at all! They are tubers and they grow on the ground, much like a potato. They are nature’s way of delivering a natural, great tasting, nutritious, GLUTEN-FREE, ORGANIC, health-snack alternative that gives you that boost of energy you sometimes need. Tiger Nuts are packed with fiber, which acts as a dietary aid, full of vitamins, have zero trans fats, and are perfect for people who are allergic to nuts or are diabetic.  Are Tiger Nuts a SUPERFOOD Wonder Snack? Well, pretty much, YES! We believe that there are no other health-snack products on the market that can offer you all the benefits of Tiger Nuts from one single source. They are the best tasting healthy snack food product that health-minded consumers, just like you, have been looking for to satisfy a snacking desire. ...and the only thing they’re choc full of, is natural goodness! 10 REASONS WHY TIGERNUTS ARE A SUPERFOOD: 1. Tigernuts’ high content in fiber keeps your whole body healthy 2. Tigernut milk (also known as Horchata de Chufas) is a great substitute for cow’s milk 3. Tigernuts are a solid source of magnesium 4. Tigernuts can help control your blood pressure 5. Tigernuts may help protect you from cancer and cardiovascular disease 6. Tigernuts give you a potassium boost 7. Tigernuts are a good non-meat source of protein 8. Tigernut milk can help control diabetes 9. Tigernut rivals olive oil for “heart healthy” oils 10. Tiger nuts Can Help Fight Malnutrition in Under-developed Nations

I am really enjoying munching on these - so much so that I think I'll need to order a few more packages to have on hand! I've been searching for a healthy snack and I've found it!

I tried this elixir a couple of times but found it to be too tacky and sticky for my taste. It left my hands feeling very sticky and was difficult for me to get worked through my hair. I think maybe the addition of shea butter is what causes this. I would probably like it if it didn't have that in it. I am going to try adding it to an argan oil conditioner that I have to see if that helps. 

I have very thin, baby fine hair and think that this product might work best for people with thick hair. 

That said, I think this product has some amazing ingredients in it. All of the ingredients are very nourishing and are fabulous for repairing damaged hair. I'm going to continue to try different ways of using it to see if I can find a way that works for me.

Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer Cream

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I recently received this anti-aging facial moisturizer cream to try out and review. As you know, I'm a rancher and a fiber artist so I spend a lot of time outside in the elements - sun, wind, etc. - and the elements, especially at this altitude (8400+ ft) are brutal, and especially as we age! 

The cream comes in a handy push top pump bottle. The bottle is nice and fat so it is really easy for my arthritic hands to hold and pump - a big PLUS for me! It goes on smoothly and soaks in quickly, leaving my skin feeling moist and dewy fresh without feeling greasy. My face feels SO smooth, even after only a couple of uses and improves with each use. I originally started using it only at night, after using the Vitamin C serum that I reviewed earlier on the blog. Now, I'm using it mixed in with my homemade zinc oxide cream in the morning, as well.

Here is what Insta Natural has to say about the product on Amazon:

The cream isn't heavily scented. It has a dry, herbal scent to it. I can't really place the exact scent but it reminds me of dried herbs. 

I am going to order another bottle of this cream because I really do love it a lot!
