Phoenicia Hotel
A day in Malta, then embark your yacht
Enjoy an orientation tour of the walled, pedestrian-only city of Mdina in the center of the island and a coastal drive around St. Julian's Bay. Continue to Valletta, Malta's capital city and an UNESCO World Heritage Site that is a virtual open-air museum. Ruled successively by the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and the Order of the Knights of St. John (who abandoned the city in 1798) Valletta is one of the most concentrated centers of history in the world.

Aboard Le Ponant
Cruise to Sicily for a visit to Taormina
Go ashore at Giardini-Naxos for a memorable visit to Taormina, described by the German poet Goethe in 1787 as "a patch of paradise" clinging to the cliffs above the Ionian Sea. Known as a popular seaside resort since ancient times, the island entices with views of two sweeping Mediterranean bays and its archaeological wonders chronicling its development from the 2nd century to the Middle Ages. See them on a stroll along the Corso Umberto through Old Town and take a guided tour of the ancient Greek Theatre with its magnificent panoramic views of Mt. Etna and the Bay of Naxos. Do more sightseeing as you wish or return to the ship to relax or swim (weather permitting). Your Mediterranean cruise continues tonight with a sail to Lipari.
Cruise to Lipari and view fiery Stromboli
Travel by zodiac for a shore excursion on Lipari, the largest of the Aeolian Islands that lie off the northern coast of Sicily; vestiges of Lipari's ancient days under Greek and later Roman rule still reign on its rugged terrain, alongside medieval fortresses and other evidence of centuries of struggle for the island's control. Get a guided tour of the island and visit the fascinating Archaeological Museum. Weather permitting, a swim off the stern of your yacht and a nighttime sail by volcanic Stromboli showcase a few of the pleasurable moments of small ship cruising. You are in for one of life's great experiences this evening when one of the world's few constantly active volcanoes puts on its natural "show" – it is unforgettable, and is certain to be a highlight of this Mediterranean cruise.

Tender to shore for a memorable drive along the magical seascapes and an up-close look at the shoreline villages that call the Mediterranean home. Stop in Amalfi, the "queen of the Costiera," for a guided walking tour and a visit to the Duomo, dating back to the 9th century. Then it's off to Villa Rufolo in cliff-top Ravello built in the late 13th century for a prominent local family – the views from the terrace are immortalized in the inspired music of German composer, Richard Wagner. Dine on regional specialties at a seaside restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean, followed by free time to explore Ravello on your own.
Island of Ponza and cruising the Mediterranean
Le Ponant anchors in Ponza, giving you lots of time to explore this largest island in Italy's Pontine Archipelago. Your visual take-away will be the island's dramatic coves and cliffs, the main town's yellow and pink houses, vineyard-covered hillsides, and an 18th-century harbor. Enjoy time as you please before reboarding Le Ponant, where cocktail hour precedes another dinner at sea. Evening sea breezes make nights extra-special aboard Tauck's Mediterranean cruise.
Small ships only in the hidden port of Bonifacio, Corsica
Sail into the nearly hidden Corsican port of Bonifacio with its deep, narrow harbor sitting at the base of sheer limestone cliffs; the entry is so spectacular it is certain to be a highlight of your Mediterranean cruise... keep that camera at the ready! On shore, hop aboard Le Petit Train for a ride to the town's walled fortress area; the fortified 12th-century town is built on the top of the cliffs with great views of the sea. Take a walking tour to see this walled fortress area, stroll along the bluff above the harbor, and see the former barracks of the French Foreign Legion.
Explore Napoleon's Elba & do some wine tasting
Le Ponant arrives pierside on the picturesque island of Elba and the secluded harbor of Portoferraio. Today you'll learn about the isolated life of Napoleon Bonaparte on Elba, who spent a brief exile here in 1814 prior to his daring escape. Visit the Villa San Martino, where he lived for a time; enjoy time at leisure in Porto Azzurro, and savor local wine at a family-owned Elba winery. Your Mediterranean cruise sets sail for France and the Côte d'Azur after lunch.
Disembark in Nice and on to Monte-Carlo
Disembark Le Ponant in Nice, France, where your Mediterranean cruise comes to an end; a brief sightseeing tour provides a view of the seaside Promenade des Anglais, which borders some beautiful beaches along the French Riviera, and time to explore on your own. Later, it's all about Monte-Carlo as you arrive in Monaco in mid-afternoon; join us for a visit to the palace and gardens, schedule permitting. Your hotel is located in the heart of glittering Monte-Carlo, close to the famed waterfront casino.

There are bound to be questions when travelling. Information on everything from weather to internet connections can be found below.
Cruise prices are per person in U.S. dollars. All hotel and cruise ship accommodations, motor coach transportation, port charges, land excursions, admissions, entertainment, sightseeing, special dinners, porterage, and the services of the Tauck Directors, hotel and ship staff, and local guides and drivers are included. Bar & restaurant beverages are included throughout the day aboard ship, including house wine & spirits. Transportation from Malta International Airport to the Hotel Phoenicia Malta is included, regardless of the time you check in to the hotel, provided you have furnished us with accurate flight arrival information at least three weeks prior to the start of your tour. Transportation from the Fairmont Monte Carlo to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is also included when you check out of the hotel. Transportation to and from airports may be shared with other Tauck guests.
Checked Luggage – General
Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).
Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.
Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.
Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home!
Carry-on Luggage - General
Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.
For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.
If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally, you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey for entry into France, Monaco, Italy and Malta; however, you will not need a visa for the short duration of this tour.
If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally, please contact a consulate or embassy of France, Monaco, Italy and Malta to determine what travel documentation is required.
Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation.
You will be issued a boarding card, which you must present before embarking the ship in each port. This security measure also ensures that only Tauck guests are permitted onboard.
We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.
Transportation to the tour departure point and from the tour ending point is not included.
Your Tauck Director will assist you with airline and other carrier communications, but has no inside contacts to guarantee or expedite recovery of lost luggage. All recovery costs, including the communication costs, are your responsibility. Check your travel protection details for covered expenses.
Personal Expenses such as phone calls, room service in hotels, alcoholic and other beverages not specifically included, laundry, dry cleaning, airline excess luggage charges, vaccinations, visa fees and services, airport arrival and departure taxes, individual airport transfers (when applicable), and other optional or incidental extras are not included and may be significant.
You may settle your on-board expenses using American Express, MasterCard and VISA or U.S. dollars and euros. The euro is the official currency used on board.

When making flight arrangements, please allow sufficient time to claim luggage and clear customs in order to join the cruise on time. We will provide transportation from the Fairmont Monte Carlo to Nice Cote d'Azur Airport on the day of your departure; your tour ends the Fairmont Monte Carlo. Each carrier and each airport has different rules regarding how early you must arrive for flight check in. Please contact your individual carrier for this information.
We understand and appreciate the value of instant communication when we travel; it keeps us in touch with friends and family, and it's a reassurance in the event of an emergency. However, the use of cell phones can be disruptive to a tour and to other guests who are enjoying their vacation. As a courtesy to others, we ask that you refrain from using your cell phone while on the motor coach, during group functions, when sightseeing and when your Tauck Director is addressing the group as a whole. There will be many opportunities to make and receive calls at times when it does not affect others.
Please contact your cell phone carrier to determine if your service extends to France, Monaco, Italy and Malta.
While a cruise on the Mediterranean Sea is very relaxing and the pace is leisurely, to enjoy this cruise, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven surfaces. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. There is a moderate to significant amount of walking during our onshore excursions. For the most part, however, the amount of walking you do is at your discretion.
If you choose to visit the Museum of Archeology on the Aeolian island of Lipari, you will have to negotiate a very steep hill.
Some ship to shore transportation is by Zodiac (capacity 9 to 12 persons) or local tender. Occasionally you will get wet with spray.
Le Ponant has four decks and no elevator.
Le Ponant has a licensed and registered physician onboard for professional and emergency services, which are available at customary charges. The ship's small infirmary is designed to provide medical care for certain temporary illnesses and accidents, and is not intended or capable of providing on-going treatment of pre-existing medical conditions.
PLEASE NOTE: We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs. The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.On board the ship, certain outer decks have been designated as non-smoking areas. There is no smoking permitted in the interior of the ship.
Le Ponant is registered in France. Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.
If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.
If you are a resident of the U.S., no vaccinations are currently required for travel to France, Monaco, Italy or Malta; however, an International Certificate of Vaccination for Yellow Fever is required for entry into Malta if you arrive in Malta within five days of leaving a country where yellow fever is endemic. For complete vaccination and inoculation information, contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. The Travelers' Health Section of the CDC operates a 24-hour "Travelers' Health Hotline" at 800-232-4636 (toll-free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC website by clicking here.
If you are a resident of another country, please contact an embassy or consulate of each of France, Monaco, Italy and Malta to determine what vaccination(s) may be required for you to visit.
If you are traveling from the U.S., the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that your name, as it appears on your domestic or international airline ticket, must precisely match your name as it appears on the government-issued photo ID (i.e., passport or driver's license) that you present during security screening. The ID name must also match any additional airline data, such as frequent-flyer information. For example, if you present your driver's license to security and it says John T. Smith, your ticket must also say John T. Smith, not John Thomas Smith, Jack Smith, or any other variant. Your date-of-birth and gender information provided to the airline must also match your passport.
If you make your air travel arrangements through us, please ensure that the name you provide us precisely matches your name as shown on the identification you will use while traveling. If you make your own airline reservations, please ensure that the airline has the correct information.
For more information on the TSA's requirements, please visit their website by clicking here.
If you are traveling from an airport outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., you will need to determine what travel documentation and identification is required for that particular airport.
Due to heightened security regulations, certain items such as a metal nail file, pocketknife, cigarette lighter, or tweezers, and some liquid, gel, or aerosol items may not be permitted in your carry-on luggage. Please call your airline prior to departure to obtain current information on non-permissible carry-on items and recommended airport check-in times.
Southern France and the coast of Italy in summer have very warm, if not hot, days and warm evenings, though at sea the evening breezes do provide cooler temperatures. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is flexible and allows for layering. Casual, cotton clothing is always advisable. A light jacket or sweater for the evenings on deck is also recommended. Comfortable yet sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in are a must, as many of the sites visited were built in antiquity and have uneven surfaces, some steep inclines and many steps. For the welcome and farewell receptions, casual resort wear is appropriate; formal wear is never required for dining with your fellow guests at a Tauck provided dinner. When traveling abroad, you may have the opportunity to dine at an upscale restaurant on your own, which may require men to dress in coat and tie, and women in more elegant eveningwear.
Shipboard attire is casual and informal. The usual dinner dress aboard Le Ponant is also casual and relaxed; while a jacket and tie are not required, shorts and bathing attire are not appropriate at dinner or other meal times. The Captain's dinners aboard Le Ponant are occasions for festive attire.
Valet laundry and dry-cleaning services are available for a fee at all the hotels on this itinerary. On board, valet laundry and pressing services are available for a fee.
We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed. No medications are sold on board the cruise ship other than those prescribed and stocked by the ship's physician.
Hairdryers are located in all hotel rooms and shipboard staterooms. Hair curling and clothes irons are not permitted onboard Le Ponant for safety reasons.

Le Ponant, a three-masted schooner, cruises to small islands, hidden harbors and exclusive ports of call in the Mediterranean with only 60 guests aboard. She was specially designed for cruising to remote destinations that are accessible only by small ship.
Overall Rating:
Treasures of the Mediterranean was a fabulous trip on Le Ponant and was a wonderful experience for us. Tauck saw to every detail and added some very special memories for us. Our guides Terry and Erica were superb! They provided us with just the right amount of guidance and just the right amount of time on our own to explore. Memories to cherish!
The first time the sails went up on Le Ponant..... classical music was playing and we were on the top deck as we sailed away from port. It was so beautiful and the best way I can describe it is to say it was a spiritual experience.
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?Definitely
Carol Sauers
This was hands down our favorite trip. It was just plain fun. Rob & Bill were top-notch, ports of call were fascinating. We were sorry to have missed the Amalfi coast (storm) but loved Pompeii (Tauck adapts very quickly). Full of little gems: Malta, Elba, Taormina, Lipari, places we probably would never have seen otherwise.
Many: Stromboli at night (in a storm), locals catching octopi for dinner in Elba, Joe (the taxi owner/driver) on Ponza, getting in and out of the Zodiacs, sailing along on Le Ponant.
Bill Fenniman
A spectacular small ship cruise with beautiful scenery, historic stops, and magnificent guides. Our Tauck guides were well informed and so well organized that everything went so smoothly. The local guides could not have been better -most informative and with great senses of humor. Our guides even arranged perfect weather!
A sunset dinner anchored off of Stromboli Volcano where we could see the red lava flowing dow the side of the mountain
My fifth Tauck trip and favorite so far. Very relaxing, but quite a bit to see as well. The tour director and ship's crew were both outstanding. I did the first northbound tour of the season, and we did have a couple rough nights, but strangely enough I think I actually kind of liked it! The only weather disappointment was having to miss Stromboli.
I absolutely loved Ponza! And just lying on the deck taking in the amazing views.
Excellent trip , wonderful guides, would recommend it to all. The ship was lovely with a very professional crew.
The sites chosen for touring were lovely , difficult to chose one.
We loved it all. Ponza was a surprise we were not aware of it prior to the trip. However the wine tasting in Elba stands out as particularly outstanding- good wine, pretty venue, and music.
We had a great time! The boat was great and the people who we met on our trip were fantastic! Tim and Elise (our tour directors) were very knowledgeable and very organized. We'll definately do another Tauck trip.
Drinking wine after dinner on the top deck of our boat as we watched the volcano erupt in Stromboli.
We recently took the Le Ponant Mediterranean cruise from Nice to Malta. The weather, facilities on board and fantastic shore trips were all excellent! The Tauck staff did a first class job in making this trip, our sixth with a Tauck, one of our best trips ever. We recommend this holiday adventure without any reservation.
Our visit to the island of Ponza. Wow!
My expectations of this trip were so incredibly high that I wondered if I may be left feeling a little disappointed, but, I loved every minute! The beautiful yacht, the wonderful crew, the enchanting small ports, the spectacular scenery and the delightful people, all seamlessly coordinated by fabulous Tauck directors. It was just fabulous!!!
The thrilling zodiac ride around Le Ponant as she sailed towards Stromboli, her white sails contrasting magnificently with the clear blue sky and the deep azure blue of the sea then swimming in the crystal clear, kingfisher blue waters in the shadow of the volcano. The itinerary a perfect mix of organised activities in charming ports and relaxation
This trip was truly amazing. From the sleek ship, Le Ponant, to the friendly accommodating crew, to the best tour directors ever, to the most incredible scenery and charming itinerary stops, this trip just wowed us the whole time. Perfect weather every day. Our only disappointment was the food. Ship food was fair, but the hotel food terrible.
Diving off the back of the ship into the beautiful Mediterranean after seeing the amazing waters and caves in Ponza! Also, eating gelato in Elba--the best we ever had! Elba was surprisingly our favorite destination.
We are delighted you enjoyed your journey nad returned with so many wonderful memories!
-The Tauck Guest Relations Team
It was our best trip ever! LePonant was magnificent! The views from the water were breathtaking! The service, food, entertainment and accommodations made us feel as if we were on our own personal yacht. Tendering to new ports each day in anticipation of a new place to visit added to the fun. A perfect itinerary, great directors made this trip a 10+
Our last night on LePonant was incredible. We shared an exquisite dinner with new friends. Later that night, the head chef and piano singer gave us a moment that we will cherish forever as they joined together to sing a very heartfelt song. The song captured all the beauty and joy of our wonderful trip.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us and we are delighted you enjoyed your journey!
Loved sailing on the Le Ponant. Capt. and crew were wonderful, food just fine, destinations excellent.
I would suggest an option for those who don't love the shopping part (mostly husbands) so they could return to town or ship earlier or another option.
Overall a totally wonderful trip.
Being in the Zodiac and trying to get pictures of the sailing ship--sails up, calm sea.
Elba and Ponza were outstanding as well.
Thank you so much for your feedback and we are so pleased you enjoyed your journey!
All in all, I thought the "Treasures of the Mediterranean" was well conceived and well executed. Our tour directors were outstanding. The food on the ship was very disappointing. After the first night, we did not have dinner on board. Breakfast items on many mornings were cold meaning the eggs, bacon, oatmeal, etc.. Le Ponant needs new chefs.
Visiting St. Paul DeVence. Highly enjoyable
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?Maybe
We are sorry that some aspects of this journey fell below your expectations. One of our Guest Relations Specialists will contact you to discuss this matter in more detail.
We were looking for a small ship cruise that made port in places large ships wouldn't be able to go. Several years ago while on a cruise of the Greek isles we saw a ship like Le Penant. It was perfect! The food, the staff and the individual attention to the details and passengers was of the highest quality. Superb!!
There were several: visiting Ravelle, watching Stromboli erupt with lava flowing into the sea and visiting St Paul - de - Vance. The more we think of the trip the more memorable moments come to mind.
We are thrilled you enjoyed your trip and we thank you so much for your feedback.
Bart R
Tauck really Rocked on this one! The first night out was a bit rough, but the last one was a Roller Coaster Ride! Never assume that the Mediterranean will be smooth sailing. Never-the-less it was a very delightful experience. Excellent service on board and as always, a fascinating itinerary.
Savoring the Fresh catch-of-the Day: a Swordfish brought on board that morning and Barbecued on deck for lunch. Mmmmm-Good!
We are delighted we were able to provide such an exciting adventure!
Our recent trip, Treasures of the Mediterranean, took us to parts of the Mediterranean , Italy, Sicily and Malta that we had never seen. As usual, Tauck did everything just right from the overall trip planning and coordination down to the smallest detail. Our tour director was one of the best of many Tauck guides that we have had.
During our tour of the Amalfi coast and Ravello, we were blown away by the Villa Rufolo and the views of the coast.
Dear Mr. Olda,
Thank you so much for your feedback and we are very glad you enjoyed your journey.
Edel K
First the very good and well done: Travel Directors, destinations, hotels, food, housekeeping, land tours. Not good:for a "sailing" adventure we hardly sailed, I estimate we motored (w/out sails) for 80% of the trip. And, for at least 4 of the days the ship rolled/pitched so much that you could barely walk on board/sleep. Same wines everyday.
We probably enjoyed Amalfi most but each area/port land tour was very interesting.
We're pleased to hear that both the well-balanced itinerary and Tauck Directors met your expectations. We are disappointed however, to learn that the sailing aspect of this journey fell below your expectations. A Guest Relations Specialist to reach out to you to personally discuss your feedback.
Sailing a super yacht in the Mediterranean!
The crew treated us like royalty and each destination had its own special charm. We particularly enjoyed Corsica and having dinner on the aft deck under a full moon, while the Stromboli volcano spewed lava into the sky. As a sailor, the "open bridge policy" gave me an inside look at sailing Le Ponant.
Hard to pick just one memorable moment. Sailing out of the harbor at Malta to begin our adventure. Sailing into a new port each morning. Stromboli blowing its top, while we watched. Winning a cool million Euros in the Monte-Carlo casino (No. Wait. That was in my dreams...)
Wow, sounds like you had an amazing trip! Thanks for sharing and we hope you'll travel with us again soon.
This was the trip of a lifetime: visited small, uncrowded islands with interesting histories, quaint shops, friendly people & spectacular views. Our fellow travelers were energetic and fun to travel with. The weather cooperated: seas were calm, skies were blue and the temperatures of sea and land were moderate. Would do this again in a heartbeat!
Every day was exciting: one memorable day was at Ponza, where we traveled to beaches, caves and inlets in small boats. The water was intensely blue and clear. Later, we were driven in taxis around the island. The top of the island provided a breathtaking view. Another highlight was swimming off Le Ponant in front of the Stromboli volcano.
Everything about the trip was done up to expectations or beyond. If there was any down side at all, it was connecting through Rome. Our advice: try to avoid Rome's airport. Every single other thing worked like clockwork.
The absolute highest moment was sitting on the top deck of LePonant, lighted with candles, watching Stromboli erupt. The next top-notch experience was swimming off the back of the yacht being carefully watched by the crew. The food each day was interesting and delicious. The yacht's crew as well as our Tauck guides were so friendly and helpful.

CelluliteRx: 125 To 149.99
Around 85 percent of women have cellulite somewhere on their bodies. Part of the reason why cellulite is such a widespread problem for women is that the condition can be difficult to treat. The fatty deposits that give rise to that dimpled, orange peel skin lay deep beneath the skin in the subcutaneous level of tissue. Most skin care products are only capable of penetrating the outermost layer of tissue, the epidermis, and never deliver their cellulite-fighting ingredients to where the problem tissue is actually lurking. The CelluliteRx skin care collection differs from these other formulas, thanks to its revolutionary encapsulated ingredient delivery system.

CelluliteRx Customer ReviewsNever Used Anything Like It! - 5/23/2014 11:38:34 AM I'm super skeptical about cellulite products...but I decided to give Celluliterx a try because I saw its sold worldwide so I figured that must be a good sign. The second I put the contour cream on my skin it showed an immediate reaction...after researching I learned that the redness was my fat cells circulating and thats what causes cellulite...i would absolutely recommend this product to any and everyone...I've tried quite a few products and this is the one that actually worked and was worth every cent.WONDERFUL PRODUCT!! - 3/6/2013 8:14:29 AM The best thing about this product is that it actually works!! I have been around the block and have used a lot of cellulite products (some as high as $200), and this is one of the few that actually works (the others are no longer available)! This product will not make you lose weight, but it will dimish the appearence of cellulite. My guess is the smaller you are the better it works! The only major detraction is of course the cost b/c you do have to use it religious for it to continue to work, but so do most things we do for health and beauty (e.g., exercise, hair, makeup). And it does smell awful, but the scent doesn't last so if you can take the initial 30 min - hour your golden, and it's so worth the results!! Try it!!This Stuff Works!! - 7/12/2012 7:16:14 AM This product works as advertised! It has an awful scent when first applied, but the smell goes away and does not remain on the skin. Plus, if you are anything like me--you will deal w/a potentially smelly product to acheive a reduction in cellulite! I am about 20-30 lbs heavier than my usual weight and it still has an astonishing impact, and can only imagine those who are at their ideal size and still have cellulite that this product will make it virtually disappear!Wow - it really works! - 12/6/2011 11:25:07 AM I bought my first set of 3-step CelluiteRx in 2008, since then I've been completely addicted! This stuff realy works! In fact CelluiteRx, together with Revitalash and Lancome's Visionnaire are the only products I've tried and that have delivered what they promise. Belive me - I've tried many! The only negative is that the fragrance, which is not repellant at all when putting in on, but after a while - when it gets on your trousers - gives a kind of slight sour smell. It is probably because of the ingredient that it makes it work so after all it is worth it.Works right away! - 5/1/2011 1:10:38 PM Once rubbing the scrub onto my cellulite areas I feel the penetration immediately. Through this sensation I know that my fat cells are beginning to circulate which means that clumped up cellulite is starting to loosin up making my skin one step closer to have that smooth appearancepretty good creams - 3/26/2011 11:21:22 AM It seems to work, my skin is tighter and my body has a better shape. I have been using the product for a month now. Some customers did not like the smell, I think the smell is not that bad, at least it is not a sweet smell which I would not be able to handle.Worked Great! Recommend it to all - 9/22/2010 3:06:16 PM You can really tell this product works. When I put it on my skin immediately reacted and I felt it working. I was skeptical at first, but after two weeks my legs looked a lot better and the cellulite appearance reduced greatly.Does the job well - 3/2/2010 4:36:01 PM I have been intermittently using the Step three firming cream on my knees, and today I noticed a remarkable difference!! They were all craggy and wrinkled, they are smoother by about 70%! I remember that my mom had the same thing with her knees and it really bugged her, when I saw the same thing show up on mine I was not too happy either. They look so much better. I will now keep it up more consistently so I can continue to see improvement. I do use it on my neck as well. Excellent results. I have now gotten the other two products to try out. (just starting to see cellulite on my behind!)Works for Latinas.. - 3/2/2010 4:06:01 PM I've tried other cellulite and firming products that don't work at all. I noticed the first time I used these that my skin felt warm like they were working. After 1 week my skin is smoother and I have less cellulite.Strange smell and too much money - 1/6/2010 7:27:33 PM I did not like the smell of this product; it smelt like a strange, plastic odor; even my hubby didn't like the smell of it! Although the product did appear to work well in diminishing the appearance of cellulite, the product is too costly and it stinks.

Great add on for any RO system Just makes life a litle easier By Brian on 1/28/2014 Brian would recommend this product to a friend Not much to say, it does what it's supposed to. It came with no instructions on how to install, and as of yet there is no video on how to hook it up (HINT, HINT). There's not much to installing it but I did make the mistake of thinking that it was to replace my manual back flush valve, not replace the whole back flush assembly entirely. Another words I missed the whole flow restrictor part of the title. After I figured that out I noticed the valve wasn't opening up for me. Then I realized that I plugged it in before the electronic pressure switch shut off. It needs to be spiced in between the Electronic pressure sensor switch and the booster pump (would have been nice to know). Other than that, it does make a loud hissing noise because of the pressure being squeezed through the restrictor, I welcome it myself so I know when the flusher and RO/DI unit are working and when their not. Just in case I can't hear the booster pump rattling the stud I have it mounted to through the walls of the house.

Integrated Supplements 100% Natural CFM Whey Protein Isolate contains the highest-quality, undenatured whey protein isolate available. The product is not a protein "blend" and does NOT contain whey protein concentrate. Only cross-flow microfiltered whey isolate is used - with the highest level of undenatured (active) whey proteins, and the lowest levels of cholesterol and lactose.
Integrated Supplements 100% Natural CFM Whey Isolate is the highest-quality whey protein supplement available today. The patented ceramic filtration system used to produce CFM whey protein yields whey protein with the highest level of native, undenatured protein, and the lowest levels of lactose and cholesterol.This great-tasting, easy-mixing whey protein is also naturally-flavored and naturally-sweetened, and is made with the highest-quality REAL FOOD ingredients like dutch cocoa, strawberry pieces and real vanilla.All Whey Protein is Not Created EqualIn recent years, as whey protein's popularity has skyrocketed, the price of many whey protein raw materials has increased as well. As a result, many companies have altered their whey protein formulas to include the cheapest types of whey protein they can find, including ion-exchange whey isolate and whey concentrate. At Integrated Supplements, however, we're still committed to providing you with only the highest-quality USA-sourced CFM whey isolate.Whey Isolate Versus Whey ConcentrateIt's generally accepted that whey protein isolate is the highest-quality type of whey protein available. But, to cut costs, many whey protein supplements are formulated with a type of whey protein called whey protein concentrate.Whey protein concentrate contains between 34% and 80% protein, and contains relatively high levels of lactose, fat, and cholesterol. Whey protein isolate, on the other hand, contains 90% or greater protein by weight, and negligible levels of lactose, fat, and cholesterol.Because of the cholesterol and denatured proteins it contains, we feel that whey protein concentrate should be avoided.
Other Ingredients:
Provon Whey Protein Isolate produced by patented CFM Cross Flow Microfiltration method, Crystalline Fructose, Dutch Cocoa, Glycine, Non-GMO Lecithin, Fine Sea Salt, Inulin Fiber, Lo Han Fruit Extract.
Food Sensitivity:
Contains whey protein from milk and lecithin from soy.Gluten free, lactose freeNo Sucralose, aspartame, added casein, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners.

Carolina Panthers T-shirt confuses 2 Carolinas
Published 12:00 am Friday, July 12, 2013
CHARLOTTE (AP) — The people who print Carolina Panthers T-shirts for Nike apparently could use a geography lesson.
The Charlotte Observer reports that the sports apparel maker recently offered a black Panthers T-shirt which includes a blue silhouette of the state of South Carolina, the team's logo inside the silhouette and the letters "NC" in the upper left corner of the silhouette.
A reader told the newspaper that he bought the shirt anyway for $32. The shirt no longer appears on the website.
While the team's name is meant to encompass the two Carolinas, the Panthers play their home games in Charlotte, and their stadium is approximately 10 miles from the South Carolina state line.
Spokesmen for Nike didn't immediately respond to emails seeking comment Friday.
