The THRIVE Experience is a combination of our THRIVE Premium Lifestyle Capsule, THRIVE Ultra M

I received a 3 day "mini" experience (through contacting a Thrive representative via a product review site) that contained 2 lifestyle mixers (vanilla & chocolate), 3 packages of capsules (2 capsules per package), and 3 DFT patches. Also included was a card with my representative's contact info. and instructions on how to start the "mini" Thrive experience.

Lewis: (281) -865-4004 https://TMZthrive.le-vel.com

The capsules (2 per package) are easy to swallow and do not have any taste or aftertaste. They are to be taken on an empty stomach, with a full glass of water. I did not have any adverse effects from taking this supplement.

The vanilla lifestyle mixer has a great taste, although it would be best suited mixed with fruit or made into a smoothie, as it is a bit grainy/gritty by itself. The chocolate lifestyle mixer tastes terrific (and I'm not too much of a chocolate fan) and does not have any grainy/gritty texture. Note: Le-Vel just came out with a strawberry lifestyle mixer, and I can't wait to try it! (strawberry is my favorite flavor out of the three). The mixers are to be taken 20-40 minutes after you take the capsules. They can be mixed with water or milk. I mixed both of mine with milk, and they had great flavor!

The Derma Fusion Technology (DFT) patches are to be applied after you have taken the capsules and shake. The patch can be placed on bicep, forearm, shoulder, or the top of the hip. The instruction card says to replace every morning, however I wore mine from approximately 10am - 11:30pm, and removed the patch before going to bed. The first patch I tried, was placed on my shoulder. When I removed it at the end of the day, I felt a slight tingling/burning sensation - like a very minor sunburn.

The next day, I tried the patch on my other shoulder (to see if maybe this was a random thing). The same results occurred. On the mornings after I had placed the DFT patches on my shoulder, when I showered - I could definitely feel the tingling/burning sensation accentuated by the warm water. On the third day, I placed the final patch on the middle of my thigh (for the same duration of time). When I removed the patch, there was a very slight tingling/burning sensation - but nowhere near to the extent that it was on my shoulder. I also noticed an intermittent "tightness" and itching sensation on all the days that I wore the patch (no matter the location).

During the later part of my 2nd day and after my 3rd trial day was over, I did notice that I had a lot more energy, motivation, and "drive" (for a lack of a better term) - wanting to accomplish things that usually leave me tired. I am partially disabled and have numerous heath issues, which leave me in a constant state of pain and fatigue. With the Thrive, I had energy to do household chores (such as scrubbing/cleaning the shower) and yard work (mowing approximately 1 acre of land without taking rest breaks - except for water - when usually I divide the yard up into segments), without feeling drained of energy and exhausted afterwards. I can only imagine the positive results I would see after a full 8 week session.

In retrospect, I think I would opt out of the patch (just because of the way it felt), even though it is part of the program. Other than the patch, my experience with the Thrive supplements were quite positive and I'm looking forward to ordering the product when my budget allows.

I would like to thank my friend, Rebecca C. for introducing me to this great brand and product!

I would also like to thank Lewis for his time, generosity, and allowing me to test/review the product.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I am very pleased to announce the Pet Gift Box - Dog & Cat Subscription Box.
This company can be found at: https://petgiftbox.com/

To receive your first box for 50% off, go to: https://gr3f.co/c/78/IB6FM and choose from a variety of subscription options and payments.

As you can see, Pet Gift Box (PGB) has numerous options for your fur babies and they are also very budget friendly! PGB is one of only a very few pet subscription companies that allows you to enter personalized pet information such as: name, weight (goodies are tailored to weight class), and also gender specific (where applicable).

PGB also allows you to enter information if you have multiple pets - male and female - an option that I've not seen on any other subscription service!

As I mentioned above, PGB is very budget friendly, especially when you choose a long term plan. When you choose a yearly plan, they are even cheaper than most human snack subscription services!

Here is a bit more about their budget friendly pricing:

Not only is PGB budget friendly, they give you plenty of subscription options! You are not "leashed in" on any long term contracts. What I really like about Pet Gift Box is that even if you choose a long term subscription, you are not charged up front and all at once. This is a great freedom knowing that your money is not tied up on something that you have not even received yet. It also gives you the flexibility of changing your subscription plan if you need/choose to!

Here are a couple more reasons to join PGB:

1. Customer Service

I can vouch for the customer service, as I have been communicating with Ms. Alexandra Kazma since the end of January. Every email communication I have received from her has been professional, courteous, polite, informative, and EXTREMELY helpful!

2. Awesome Themed Boxes:

3. PGB Gives back to the community!

As you can see, part of the proceeds from the sales of Pet Gift Box goes to America's VetDogs, helping our veterans with disabilities. This is a very noble cause!

PGB also has a program called the "Pawtnership Program". This program is for shelter or rescues who sign up to be partnered with Pet Gift Box. For every subscription box that PGB sells that has the shelter or rescue's unique code identifier (varies depending on rescue name) through the https://petgiftbox.com/ link, PGB will give that shelter or rescue $15!!

If you would like to do several good deeds with one action, and get some amazing goodies for your fur kids, here's how:

1. Go to: https://gr3f.co/c/78/IB6FM and sign up for a box of your choice. You will receive your first box for 50% off! If you choose a year subscription, this will make your first box approximately $9.50! - Unbeatable!

2. Your same purchase you just made will also send funding to America's VetDogs automatically. How great is that?!

3. Sit back and relax, knowing you've done your good deeds for the day, and await your PGB goodie box to arrive!

PGB Box Unveiling! - May 2016

The moment you all have been waiting for now that you know all about PGB!

This is the only pet subscription box that I have seen that not only hand writes your pet's name on the "gift tag", but also addresses the box to your pet as well. :) A very cute feature that places the importance on your fur baby!

The theme for this month's PGB is "Basic Training"

Product Descriptions:

1. "New Recruit Crinkle Toy" Seargeant Paw-towsky reporting for duty! An Army Strong mini boot camp for your pup - good for chewing and chasing all day long. MSRP $7.99

2. "Troop Treats" Watch Fido do flips for our original Green Little Gingerbread Men. Made in the USA with only the finest ingredients. MSRP $8.99

3. "Military Fatigues Bandana" Let Fido show his/her support for your brave men and women by sporting this military bandana. MSRP $5.99

4. Plush Eagle. - I don't have a description on this toy, as I received the "small dog" card in my box on accident. My card has "Battle of the Bulge" which is a slow feeder for small dogs. I have a German Shepherd/Border Collie female, who is 65 pounds or so. ;)

5. "Camo Knotted Ball" Gnaw-happy pups will love sinking their teeth into this Knotted Ball Dog Toy. Cotton rope is twisted and knotted into a fun ball that's just as much fun to fetch as it is to chew. MSRP $3.99

The pricing may be a little hard to see, but in the lower left hand corner it states: "The retail value of your box is $35.95 This box is a steal if you chose the 12 month plan, making it only $18.99 /mo.

The quality of the toys and the size of the treats make this box well worth the subscription price. No matter what plan you choose, you are getting more of a value that what you paid for the monthly subscription price.

After reviewing this box (and receiving two previous), I would highly recommend PGB. They offer several subscription options that are all budget friendly, and they allow you to input different options regarding your pet(s). I love how the box comes addressed to your pet in the shipping label and handwritten on the box! The wrapping paper and toys are adorable! The quantity and size of the dog treats is top notch, not to mention made in the USA! Customer service is outstanding - fast, friendly, helpful, and informative! Your purchase helps give back to America's VetDogs. You can feel proud about doing a good deed with one small purchase, that will give happiness to your own pet(s) as well as others across the U.S. It is a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Ready to order? Visit: https://gr3f.co/c/78/IB6FM and receive your first box for 50% off!
