Review and Giveaway for Dr. Song Vitamin C Serum

I really enjoyed trying this serum. I saw a new brightness and even skin tone. It wasn't greasy and it felt like a high quality serum. The aloe vera makes it particularly smooth. 
The  money back guarantee offer let me know that they stand by their product and my personal results were really good. I'd definitely recommend giving this serum a try. 
It's made in the USA and is a good size at 1 oz. I'd probably buy more.

Win a bottle for yourself!

I am incredibly impressed with my brown stingray leather cuff that I got from Tom Barrington. When I think about holiday gifting, there are always a few people on my list that I want to get a particularly quality present for, but end up disappointed at most local stores. I am happy to report that I now know where I'm heading for several special gifts as the holidays roll in.
I think anyone would probably really love one of their cuffs or wallets! Particularly the men in your life that would wear accessories if they were tough enough to last. 
This cuff is a men's accessory, but I think it can be unisex. I personally think it is a gorgeous accessory for either gender. Warning ladies, if you buy this for your hubby, you might end up trying to steal it back later to go with your own things. :)
It is quite durable and incredibly well made. The craftsmanship is evident from the moment you open it's package. The buckles are easy to use, but also very secure. It is adjustable between the wrist sizes of 7"-8.5". It has a width of 2 1/4".
I loved the effect of the stingray leather. It looks so different and I got compliments wearing it out. As an outfit idea for a girly girl, I wore it with a pastel dress and chocolate brown boots. My man loves it on him, as well.  It looks great on a guy for a rugged, but classic look with his favorite jeans and a nice shirt.
Stingray leather is very hard to work with for any manufacturer, so it is a generally pricey material.  I think this cuff is actually a wonderful value at it's price for the amazing quality that I have now personally tested. It is my idea of the quinticential gift this season.

Review for Bru Joy Garlic Press and Cleaning Brush

I have reviewed a garlic press before, but I wanted to try a few brands to see which ones cater to what needs. 
This garlic press by Bru Joy has a brush included for cleaning, which makes clean up a breeze! So quick and easy! I love it!
It does a good job and even the hardest clove gets nicely pressed. It is heavier than the other one I have used, but that is sometimes good. I have a tremor and a weightier utensil is helpful  to keep my hand steady. 
This would make a great item for any cook in your life!

Review and Giveaway for Lanza Healing Style Dramatic FX Hair Spray

This hair spray is amazing! I'm hooked on Lanza after trying this. 
I like my hair spray to be a very high quality (usually a salon brand) and will not even attempt an updo unless I have great hairspray to use. My hair is heavy and a good hold can be hard to achieve. 
I tried it out with a 40's inspired updo that needed to stay perfectly in place to look pretty. Lanza's hair spray was everything I needed. It gave me a perfect hold without leaving the hair too hard or forced-looking. It kept the "soft" look of the style's era.
It also smells great and is big enough of a can for many pretty hair options to be made. It's environmentally safe, too, so it can't get better!

Review for Kabuki Make Up Brush

I absolutely adore my Kabuki makeup brush. It is almost unbelievably soft and of very good quality. I love to use it with my favorite blush because it is so soft on my cheeks. It has not lost any bristles in my several uses while I've had it so far. Very impressed!

Whether you are a long time user of coconut oil, or this is your first time hearing of it, you'll want to listen up about this insanely multi-use product.
Coconut oil can be used for many things. One look on Pinterest can tell you that it is a favorite of both beauty and cooking bloggers everywhere. It actually has so many uses that I struggled with which one to feature in this post.
I decided to cook with it in place of butter. The coconut oil by Paradise that I used in this recipe was exactly what I needed, and so much healthier for my family. There was a great sale on asparagus so I decided to try out the coconut oil in my saute pan.
My favorite thing about cooking with coconut oil in a savory dish is that you can avoid burning your food at any heat. Also don't worry, it won't make your food taste like coconuts. With just a dash of soy sauce my asparagus cooked up perfectly and had an amazing flavor. There were NO leftovers!
It is a good size and will serve many recipes and help me make several homemade beauty items. I very much recommend you get some of this great substance. It's perfect for the health conscious foodie or anyone looking to try something different.

Buy yours on amazon!

Review for Ageless by Thera Vita

8/19/2014

0 Comments

 
This wonderful serum by Thera Vita is a great sized anti-aging product. I am always looking for a multi-benefit beauty product so that I can save money, and time. One or  two pumps will cover the entire face. One bottle should last a long time. 
The texture is very similar to aloe vera, and the serum's scented with witch hazel, aloe and lavender. Those ingredients are what gives the serum its skin soothing properties. 
Even after the first application there was a noticeable difference in the softness and general appearance of my skin. Ageless helps provide less spots and wrinkles in a quick and effective one step a day treatment.

Review for King Athletic  Speed Jump Rope

This is my first time ever using a speed jump rope. It is very different from a traditional jump rope we all know from elementary school. The speed jump rope is designed for fitness. It is large enough to be used by an adult of 6 feet, or perhaps even taller. (As tested by my fella) It is too large for indoor use. The material is very high quality. As it is a cable one should be very careful with it, and keep it out of reach of young children. It has a length of 10 feet. I think it is a really cool way to incorporate cardio with fun.

Review for TheraRelief by TheraVita

As you may or may not know, I have a torn ligament in my wrist and it is very, very painful. This product arrived at the perfect time for when I needed it. TheraRelief is a cream that is easily applied to whatever area is being affected. I have been applying it under my wrist brace to reduce inflammation and aid in recovery. Every little bit helps.
It is a small jar, but it will go a long way. 
If you're looking for relief this is a good product to look at and if you have a sensitivity to anti inflammatories this is a good way to bypass it. I, personally, can't take an aspirin but I can use this cream to slow down the inflammation surrounding my injury. This allows me to be just a little bit more comfortable.

Review for VoilaVe Triple Action vitamin C Serum

I received this item for free to review. My opinions are my own. 

Please forgive any mistakes as I am using a text to speech today and that will make things a little bit different. There might be errors but my wrist is injured so we will see how it goes. 
This vitamin C Serum from VoilaVe  is a little bit different from others I have reviewed. 
It's unique because of it's lack of dropper design. Instead it uses a pump. This makes it very easy to use. There are less messes. 
It has a money back guarantee for a reason. The results are impressive. It is a great buy if you want smooth radiant skin. I loved the way my skin left after an easy application. It is also safe on acne prone skin, as I had no breakout trouble while using it.
