Review: My Konjac Sponge


Go for It!

First I would like to say, I make a lot of my own clay face masks and beauty products so, I know quality ingredients! Activated Bamboo Charcoal is one of nature's miraculous wonders! "ABC" pulls out toxins. What are pimples? Infections. What do infections have? Toxins! When first using this product to treat a toxic warfare on your face you can expect to see some unsettling disturbances. This is all because your toxins are being drawn out. After frequent use your skin will begin to neutralize and heal. When it comes to anything related to beauty patience is a virtue keep this in mind before giving up and tossing in the towel. Choosing the right sponge is important see the sensitive skin version here

What is Konjac?
Konjac is an Asian plant believed to be medicinal. The sponge is made from the plant's root.

Review: BeeSili Ice-Pop Molds




Absolutely Go for It!




Why I want you to buy this particular brand: Peak Life Gadgets' Elizabeth Harris, branched out into the online product arena to raise funds for soldiers suffering from PTSD. I have many family members that were active duty and suffer from this, so I can really relate to how it affects our country's men. Elizabeth created a system over a decade ago called Brain Feng Shui that helps erase pictures and emotions related to PTSD memories. Pay it forward to our military  members!

I received these yesterday afternoon and I have to say I was more than thrilled. I've been wanting a fully functional product like this for quite a while. I washed them and my family immediately got to work. We used a food processor to blend our own handpicked raspberries with Greek yogurt. An other blend was frozen concentrated grape juice with warm water. My kids were ecstatic and couldn't wait for them to freeze. After 2 hours they dug in telling me they were their new favorite pops and we must buy more! I definitely recommend them! They are an amazing value, very universal and a joy to use.

OTHER USES:
Carry loose tea & coffee
Traveling- Fill with shampoo/conditioner/soap
Portion control- Just big enough for small servings of nuts, candies, sunflower seeds etc.
Lunch boxes- Condiments &Spreads travel well in these
Ice Packs- Awesome for icing puffy eyes in the morning or for the kids bumps and bruises
Baby Bag- Formula, Dirty tissues, keep medicine droppers clean
Possibilities are endless!

Review: MIRACALIS Anti-Aging Cream



I have been using this product twice a day for nearly four days. It has left my skin glowing and maximally hydrated. I can not yet reveal my full results because results are gradual. I'll update every one in three and a half weeks!
UPDATE 9/29/2014:
Compared to my favorites I'm giving this an average rating. Why? I'm still in love with my Repechage Hydra Dew Collection that I've preferred to use since 2009. There are so many products out there to compare so it is hard to chose what deserves  4/5 stars. I noticed mineral oil and aloe as ingredients, that didn't impress me since both are low cost and easy to use as fillers. Moving on to my review-->
I'm a cosmetologist and I was sent this to test. So far, So good! I've been using this for 3-4 weeks. I've noticed that my skin is much more supple than with my average store bought moisturizers. Compared to Big Box and Drug Store products this one is mega hydrating, smooth and rich. Aside from being anti-aging it is great for use as a primer before makeup application. If you're not quite ready to hop on the pricey moisturizer train this one will certainly do the trick and is a good bargain. My morning routine consists of 1) washing with a konjac sponge and foam cleanser 2) Toning with toner 3) Using Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid serums 4) Moisturizing with a cream/lotion. My night time is about the same except I substitute 3 with a rose hips oil and skip step 4.

Review: PURE BCAA

Go For It!!




This one also got the green light! And here is why. Purity. No sand and unpronounceable fillers. On top of that? You really can't beat the price!

JUNKLESS BCAA. Could it get any better than that? For an ultra low price and insane purity of ingredients this kicks competitors to the curb. VEGI capsules are virtually odorless and petite in size making them easy to swallow. It's also made in America making diet standards one of my new go to brands. This was definitely a treat for my health obsessed self. Thanks Diet Standards for including me in the promotion!

Review: Panda Portable Small Compact Washing Machine Spin Dryer XPB36 with Pump

This small yet mighty machine is not for the weak! ::FACEPALM:: I must admit I did not expect this to clean  so well. As I also did not expect such a clatter in my hall. If you hate lugging clothes to the laundromat and can take a serious beating then this may be right for you. There is a lot of arm work involved and you may also need to yank out the good 'ol ironing "system" when you are finished. This particular model has a pump saving a lot of time compared to its siblings. However the hoses still need their extra attention. You need to handle the hoses at least 4 to 6 times per a load. 1 hose you use to manually fill the tank for washing then rinsing, the other you use to drain twice. Trust me, it gets heavy and exhausting! There are 3 knobs 1 for wash time 1 for wash or drain setting and 1 for your spin dry. You set it on wash,fill it halfway add your detergent then clothing continue filling then set it to wash for 3-15 minutes.This is the noisy part the timer is an actual wind up timer so you have the buzz from that and the clatter of the stop and go agitation.After this finishes move on to the lovely drain setting and hold the hose over the sink. You need to lift and lower the house frequently until you have fully drained the machine. You then repeat the same steps as washing with out adding the detergent (I add vinegar for softener in this step but its optional) chose the same time setting as you did for the wash and repeat draining steps until done. Now you hand wring the clothing and move over half of the load into the spinner dryer (if you did a full wash if you did half a load move it all over). Now, spin dry 1 to 5 minutes they will be nearly fully dried,dry them on a laundry carousel or line dry or flat dry. With manual drying  expect the need for an iron :D  In my case this extra work is actually convenient. My kids can not handle a laundromat and I can not have a conventional washer and dryer in my apartment so this is the best I can get for a washer/dryer combo. So, how does it measure up? 4.5 out of 5 stars and I highly recommend it for apartment/RV dwellers. Its small compact lightweight and cleans deeper than other full sized washers that I have used. There is no agitator stemming from the center of the bassin either. You can also soak it for as long as you please before switching it on..To be continued...Stay tuned for video review/photos/more details!

Review: Bob's Red Mill Muesli

GO FOR IT!!!
 

My activity group for spirited children has been accepted as product testers for  Bob's Red Mill Muesli! I have received 20 samples of Bob's Red Mill Muesli each with a $1 coupon on the back. I also was given a full bag for myself and finished it! My favorite thing in this delectable mix is the melt in your mouth coconut shavings. The background of muesli is quite an interesting one.Also to be included in our get together will be gluten free brownies, gluten free steel cut oats, and gluten free pizza all with ingredients from Bob's Red Mill. After our tasting I'll let you know how every one reacted! Stay tuned!
UPDATE: LOVE IT!! EVERY ONE FOUND IT TO BE A CONVENIENT ON THE GO SNACK OR BREAKFAST

Review: Side Solutions Pillow


I was lucky enough to win this pillow in 2011. Forever since, I have not slept with an other pillow I take this baby everywhere! It has a shoulder notch to prevent bunching and unnecessary pressure that a regular pillow causes. It also has 3 awesome ventilated foam inserts that you can remove to adjust the height and thickness of the pillow for ultimate comfort and support. I love it so much that any other pillow feels strange and uncomfortable so I bring it with me when ever I'm sleeping away from home! I put regular pillow cases on it, though they do not fit, you can still make the pillow match your decor! Only thing I think this company needs to do is start selling pillow cases for the Side Solutions Pillow! Over all it measures up to its claims and is definitely recommended by me!

Review: LeapFrog LeapPads

I'll be updating this soon
now with WIFI

                    Buy                                Buy                                Buy                                Buy
 COULD BE BETTER


Santa brought the first version of these hot toys to each of my kids Christmas 2011 and the newest addition Christmas 2012. They have many fabulous features, yet  like any product could use some improvements. The games are unlike any you will find else where, I often want to continue playing the game when I am asked for help on certain levels.
Pros:
ENGAGING EDUCATIONAL GAMES AND VIDEOS
Can add purchased apps to more than one leap pad
Excellent customer service

Cons:
Stylus is as small as a 3ds' (I think it should be chunky with a fine tip)
Not waterproof
Paint wears off quickly
Software Freezes
Not rechargeable
Memory is not expandable
Apps can be pricey

Over all despite the more cons than pros I DO ULTIMATELY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT my favorite is LeapPad2!








Review: Forever Lazy FAILS



DON'T FALL FOR IT

Bought at: Walgreens
I had been putting off for months on buying forever lazy and to say it simply I wish I never caved. Forever lazy is similar to footed pajamas but are footless with a backdoor. The material is thin, flimsy and cheap. The zippers do not stay closed and the box was missing the matching bonus socks! After one wash the zipper's stitching unraveled and now there are holes along the edge of my tush. I'm not one to ever be completely unsatisfied with anything, but unfortunately FOREVER LAZY found their way to my epic fail list! Bottom line- It doesn't measure up to its claims and I do not recommend! If you miss your childhood PJs search "Adult Footies" and a plethora of better made and similarly priced products will flood your browser. My personal favorites are- Undergirl Footed Onsies and JumpinJammerz

Review: My Rants And Raves.... My Toddler won't take these off!




GO FOR 'EM 

My son wont take these off!!! Today I was shopping at BJ's and we have been seeking perfect shoes for my shoe protesting 2.5 year old son. He's always taking his shoes off no matter where we are. Well, Skidders were on the end cap and he wanted them on then and there! We usually don't open packages but I had to try them on him. He refused to take them off! usually 19.99 we got these for 9.99 and they are already winners in my eyes! Durable and Irresistibly cute and flexible I've found shoes that He'll be wearing repeatedly and be replacing until he's 4! And you Can't beat the ease of washing, comfort durability or price!
