My husband and I have been taking 5-HTP for at least 2 weeks now and I have seen an imporovement in my mood levels like when I take St. John's Wort. I took 1 or 2 capsules with water right before bed. It didn't make me feel drowsy and there was no weird taste. Serotonin plays such an important role for our bodies so I'm excited to see how this product continues to work for us long term.
5-HTP is a substance extracted from the Griffonia Simplicfolia plant, and is a natural substance that increases the production of Serotonin. Serotonin plays a great role in our bodies when it comes to our sleep pattern, pain sensitivity, and appetite. When Serotonin is released, we have the sensation of well being, serenity, and fulfillment. In addition, Serotonin controls our anxiety and suppresses our appetite by making us feel serene and satisfied.

Pound Foolish | Book Four in the Windy City Neighbors series by Dave and Neta Jackson
This is the second book I have read from the Windy City Neighbors series. "Pound Foolish" is about the Singer Family-Greg and his wife and two children.
I had mixed feelings about this book. I really liked it, but it wasn't a "happily ever after" or "escape from your own troubles and read a happy book" kind of book. It was very well written and kept my interest, but it was sad (and a little close to home) to read about the struggles and misunderstandings with jobs, money, kids etc. Real life struggles-which is why I continued to read the book to the end because I wanted to see how things would work out.
The story line and character struggles felt real but good advice from friends and earnest prayer to God was sought out, so in the end, the book finished well. I enjoyed "Pound Foolish" and would recommend it! Can't wait to read more from this series!
About the book: Pound Foolish | Book Four in the Windy City Neighbors series (Castle Rock Creative, October 2014)
Greg Singer coordinates consumer sports shows for powerboats, four wheelers, snowmobiles, and jet skis---macho toys for outdoor men like himself. But the job puts tremendous stress on his marriage with Nicole, who for the first time notices the handsome lawyer at the end of the block. "Greener pastures?" When the recession hits Greg's industry, he thinks the crisis is merely an opportunity for God to bless him with unmatched prosperity, a promise he hears preached each Sunday, and he steps out in bold faith . . . But is he being "pound foolish"?
The fourth in the Windy City Neighbors series, Pound Foolish explores the economic upheaval and uncertainties challenging every family. Intersecting with Penny Wise (book three), the Jacksons employ the innovating storytelling technique of "parallel novels." Though each book follows its own drama and story arc, the characters' lives become intertwined and affect one another. Pound Foolish returns us to Beecham Street---a typical American neighborhood . . . where a growing friendship brings new meaning to prosperity.
About the authors: Dave and Neta Jackson are award-winning authors living in the Chicago area where their parallel novels from the Yada Yada House of Hope and Harry Bentley series are set. As a husband/wife writing team, Dave and Neta Jackson are enthusiastic about books, kids, walking with God, gospel music, and each other! Together they are the authors or coauthors of over 100 books.
I was given this book complimentary from LitFuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.

Omega 3 Fish Oil Pills 600mg - Supreme Premium Pharmaceutical Grade Essential Fatty Acids - by NutriRevolution REVIEW
I have been taking these Omega 3 Fish Oil supplements for over a week now and so far I've been very pleased! I've heard alot of positive things about Fish Oil but I've always been scared to try it because I don't want to take a supplement that tastes "fishy" or leaves a weird taste in my mouth.
These supplements by NutriRevolution are easy to swallow; they smell a little fishy in the bottle but not in my mouth. I have noticed I've been alot more clear minded and less anxious at work than I have been lately, so that's a big plus! I would recommend these and I will continue to take them long term.
Product Description
Why is our Omega 3 Fish Oil the hottest diet supplement on the market these days?
Omega 3 Fish Oil has seen an amazing increase in popularity as the most important vitamin a person can take for the best health possible.
How Omega 3 Can Improve Your Health
Decreases your chance of heart disease by 32%
Decreases your chances of a heart attack by an astounding 70%
Reduces the pain from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
Reduces the risk of pneumonia by 35%
Reduces the odds of developing Alzheimer's
Reduces the suffering of post-partum depression by up to 51%
Studies now show that DHA is a critical part of a fish oil supplement routine.
NutriRevolution is able to provide the 100mg DHA and 160mg EPA in a softgel that has been molecularly distilled just as medical guidelines recommend any omega 3 fish oil supplement do.
Molecular Distillation vs. Enteric Coated Capsules
The process of molecular distillation is what makes our superior softgels burpless, extremely purified and able to break down in the stomach, so it can be more readily absorbed into your body's system. Enteric coated fish oil supplements, meanwhile, have a layer that protects them from stomach acids, so they don't normally break down before they have reached the gastrointestinal tract, where it's too late for your body to release the fats and oils needed in order for it properly absorb the fish oil.

EPA and DHA are famous for their advantages in reducing horrible cholestrerol levels and triglyceride levels, and improving good cholesterol (HDL). They also help cardiovascular system health and normal blood pressure levels, boost blood circulation and also improve the body's defense mechanisms.
