Raspberry Keytones Review

I just had the opportunity to try Raspberry Keytones. These are a supplement designed to help you lose weight. They are said to burn fat and increase your metabolism. Sounds good, right? They are 100% natural, another plus. For anyone who watches Dr. Oz, he talked about these on his show saying they were a good weight loss booster. Of course like anything else ladies, this is just a booster so we still have to do  the diet and exercise, but these are supposed to give you that little extra oomph you need to make you feel like you're getting results.They are 100% natural and made in  the USA. One little added bonus is that these actually smell good haha. Sometimes supplements can have a terrible odor but these smell yummy . I can't wait to see my results...I have lost a couple pounds already, so I'm excited. You can learn more about the company and their products here.  If you want to get this you can also checkout Amazon.

Garcinia Cambogia Review

Garcinia Cambogia is known for increasing your weight loss by two to three times the normal amount you might lose with regular diet and exercise. That's what we all want in a magic pill don't we? It blocks fat production, and turns fat into glycogen, which helps burn the fat. It also suppresses your appetite and curbs cravings.It increases lean muscle mass and increases seratonin, which will decrease the emotional eating a lot of us do. It also decreases cortisol, which is the stress hormone that gives us belly fat. This sounds amazing to me, and all natural..theres no better combination. Also, the company backs the product with a 365 day money back guarantee..so they are pretty confident that this is a great product. I'm using it now, and I have to say ...so far so good. I have felt less hungry, and sleeping better.I need most  of all of the perks this product offers... hehe. Can't wait to see the full results.This product is sold on Amazon here.

Pure Shea Butter by Cleopatra's Choice Review

I was really excited to try this pure shea butter.. Shea butter has many benefits including relief from dry skin, diminishing stretch marks, psoriasis and eczema relief. This shea butter is made from the finest nuts of the shea tree in Ghana.  It is 100% natural and organic. It contains vitamins A, E, and F. It does not clog your pores. It is very moisturizing, and lasts a long time. This pure shea butter can be used to make your own beauty products at home. It's great for your hair and skin. The package it comes in is resealable which is great and it's made from recyclable material. I have been experimenting with my own beauty products from the shea butter and adding fragrance because the product is raw it doesnt have much of a smell, but I have also been using it on my cracked heels and it has helped them become softer in a short time.I would recommend this product. You can find it on amazon here.

Phytoceramides by Purely Holistic Review

I was able to try phytoceramides supplements by Purely Holistic over the last month.  These supplements are meant to reduce wrinkles and improve your skin. They use a rice based formula, which is proven to be more effective than other wheat based phytoceramides. These phytoceramides are said to reverse the signs of aging, hydrate and thicken from the inside out. Dr. Oz called phytoceramides a natural facelift. I've noticed my skin is clear and radiant. I'm hoping to see some great long term results from  using this product. The product is made in the USA,100% natural, and vegetarian friendly. You can find the product here on Amazon.

The Amazing Miracle Cleanse Review

I recieved  a bottle of  The Amazing Miracle Cleanse. This is a colon cleanse, detox and weight loss product. It is all natural and safe. The product's claim is to help with constipation, chronic fatigue,acid reflux,gas, bloating, difficulty sleeping, diarrhea,low energy,flabby tummy, or skin problems. It makes your digestive system more effective and increases your body's absorbtion of vitamins and nutrients. They also say it helps you lose weight and increases fertility. It is supposed to provide results within 12-24 hours, as far as reducing bloating and increaing energy. The product is also a natural laxative. I tried this for the recommended 15 day cleanse, and I thought it was great. I did lose about 5 pounds. I also felt like I had some more energy, and could definately see the reduction in bloating. I was happy with it and I would try it again. If you want to try the product you can find it on Amazon here.

Liebster Blog Award Nomination!

Hi Everyone! So I'm writing today to tell you that I was nominated for the Liebster Blog Award, by Pandahh Report . This award is for new bloggers who inspire others, how cool is that? So part of the fun is answering some fun questions from the person who nominated me, so here we go.....


What inspired you to start blogging?
  I love writing, and I also love giving my opinions..hehe who doesn't? Trying new products, of course is a       perk, and also meeting new people to share ideas with.

Who is the most inspirational person in your life?
  I am inspired by many people and things in my life. My mom is a constant inspiration in my life that no           matter what life throws at me I can still remain a good, honest person, who cares about other people and       is willing to sacrifice for people I love. My dad has always inspired me to continue to learn and soak up all     of the knowledge and substance that I can, and to be proud of who I am. My brother inspires me to          
keep trying no matter how hard things are and how many obstacles are thrown into your path, to be brave     and strong.My step dad inspires me to speak my mind, no matter what people may say or thing hehe. My boyfriend inspires me to love, unconditionally, with everything I have, because there are people out there who actually deserve it..and I have one of them :)

Where did you grow up?
 I grew up in Maine, where my childhood was playing outside with my cousins and my brother, using my         imagination, getting dirty, being creative, and most importantly having fun.

What is your favorite season and why?
There are things I love about all of the seasons, but my favorite season is summer, because the possibilities    are endless, the weather is beautiful, and the sun makes me happy even if I'm doing nothing at all.

What do you like to do in your spare time?
 Haha well this one is interesting because there happen to be so many things I like to do in my spare time, that there are not enough hours to do them all. Painting/drawing, arts and crafts, bowling, writing, reading,browsing Pinterest for countless hours, decorating, experimenting with makeup and hair, singing, and the list could go on forever.


What is your favorite company to work with or who would you like to work with?
 I have enjoyed working with all of the brands that I have worked with. I would be very excited to work with some subscription box companies, because they are my current obsession.

Do you have any children?
  I don't have children of my own yet (fingers crossed), but that is on the horizon in the near future I hope.       My boyfriend has 2 kids:16, and 10.


What is your favorite topic to blog about?
Well I am really just getting started. I hope to blog about many things down the line. I love doing product      reviews but I also love to log about beauty and style.


Favorite sports team?
  LOL...you got me here. I am not into sports whatsoever, hehe. There is nothing I hate more than watching sports ..lol sorry sports fans.


If you could have lunch with anyone famous or not, who would it be?
 Hmm...that's a tough one...there are alot of people that would be cool to choose. It would probably be          fun to have a fun girls lunch and beauty day with some current celebrity comedianne..I'll have to get back      to you on which one lol On another note, I would enjoy lunch with just the people closest to me.


Favorite Food?
 I love Mexican...pretty much any time so that's probably my favorite.




         That's all she wrote...literally..well I guess not literally because I'm still technically writing..lol Thanks for the nomination.

Shandali Travel Towel Review


After getting a chance to try this travel towel from Shandali, I think it's convenient, super soft, and durable. The towel is made of a lightweight microfiber material. It's made to be quick drying, absorbing wetness and drying 10 times as fast as a normal cotton towel. This towel would be great for camping, going to the beach, working out, playing sports, and pretty much any other use you could think of. The material is super soft on your skin,very durable, and super light, taking up hardly any space at all for a great on the go towel. The company has a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied within 30 days of your purchase. I keep this towel in my car so that I can use it when ever I workout or need it on any given trip. The fabric is heavenly, It comes in beautiful rich colors, with a lovely logo, and it even has a handy little loop for hanging the towel. I could think of so many uses for this towel. IT's very handy. If you want to check out the company's website go here. You can get this on amazon here.

Yoga Towel from Shandali Review


I just got to try this yoga towel from Shadali. The towel came in nice packaging and at first touch I was in love. This microfiber  towel is one of the softest things I have ever felt. The towel is made for Yoga, Pilates, or other exercising. This is a huge towel, the size of a yoga mat, so that you can lay it right over the top of your mat. The towel is designed to be super absorbent and quick drying , and anti slip.  The towel rolls up into a compact little roll that you could carry with you anywhere. That is ideal to me cuz I can keep it right in my car without taking up hardly any space so it is on hand for anything I may need it for on the go. I love my yoga towel. It can be washed many times. The company also offers a lifetime guarantee,and also if for any reason you are not 100% satisfied with the product within . the first 30 days just return the product for a no questions asked full refund.

Age Defense Eye Cream by Body Merry Review



I tried a new under eye cream recently called Age Defense Eye Cream from Body Merry. This eye cream is formulated to work for several eye concerns inclusing, dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness, crow's feet, fine lines, dryness, and saggy or baggy skin. I don't know about you but I definately have a problem with a few of those. The company doesn't use any harsh chemicals, and instead only use natural and organic ingredients, and in times like these where everything seems to be harmful to us, that is like music to my ears.  The product contains peptides, and ocean based retinol, and  hyaluronic acid. it's also full of antioxidants, organic vitamins and minerals, pure plant oils, and botanicals, like: aloe, witch hazel, coconut oil,  cocoa butter, vitamin C, Cucumber, Beeswax, Jojoba Oil, Tamanu Oil,  Green Tea, Licorice, Eyebright, Avocado Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Rose Hip Oil, Lemon, Lemongrass, Vitamin B5, Lavender, and Chammomile...plus many more. I think the list of ingredients speak for themselves. I love putting all natural products on my skin, as far as I'm concerned it could do nothing but good. The cream is said to be good for all skin types, making your skin feel firm, plump and ding ding ding "YOUNG"!! Love that don't we ladies? I have used the eye cream, and my first impression was that it comes in a pretty little bottle that lets you know also, that it is made in the USA, and it is not tested on animals. Two great things in my book! The bottle has an easy little pump action, but don't press very hard because you don't need much at all. It smells heavenly, like citrus, and  feels creamy, and your skin soaks it right up. I have sensitive skin and it gives me no problems at all. Now I'm just sitting back, waiting for the magic to happen, while I put great ingredients into my skin and smell divine:) I would recommend this product to anyone who loves natural skincare. You can get it on amazon here. You can also check out the company's webpage here.

Magnetic Screen Door from iGotTech Review

I just installed this magnetic Screen door by iGotTech. I have never seen one of these before, but basically what it is is a screen attached to your door frame by velcro and it is split into 2 pieces which connect by magnetic strips that run down the center of each piece. the magnets close the screen curtain to make a solid screen door, but the cool part is that you can just walk through it to open the screens, which then just magnetically join back together once you are through it. This is pretty cool,  I think. You could potentially use this for a door that pets can go in and out of to get outside, while getting some air circulation in the house and keeping out bugs all at the same time. It also works great for bringing in groceries and not having to fight to open and close the door with each trip when you have your hands full of bags. The packaging says that it's made from the highest quality durable mesh, and a tight magnetic seal. I found it very simple to install, just a matter of sticking on velcro and then adhering it to your door frame and Voila!  I would recommend this product to anyone. i think it works great and it even comes with some extra tacks just to make it even more secure. If you want to find out more visit the company's website here. You can also get it on amazon here.

RocksBox Review

Hi there readers, I just wanted to tell you about a subscription box I tried recently. Rocks Box is not your typical subscription box. As a member of Rocks Box you pay $20 a month and what happens is, you get a box with 3 pieces of designer jewelry. These are chosen by a stylist based on a quick style quiz that you take on the website, designed to get to know what kind of pieces you like. So you get your 1st box, and you can decide what you like , wear it for as long as you want...you return it whenever you are ready, so long as you are paying your monthly fee. You can also decide to buy any piece that you love and just can't live without. Your 3rd option is that if you don't like something or if you wore it once or a couple times and now you want something else, you just send it back, they give you a prepaid label to stick right to the envelope the box came it, it is super simple. Also, on your account page you can rate the pieces that they sent so that they can fine tune their picks for your next box. As soon as they get your jewelry they ship you out new pieces to try. You can potentialy exchange as many times in a month as you want to. It's pretty cool. I got my first box with a free trial code, and when my box came I liked all 3 of my pieces...a necklace, a bracelet and a pair of earrings. I wore them out, and now I am sending them back to try 3 more. I want to see a bunch of things my first month so that I can see if continuing the box will be for me, so far so good. The service is super easy to use. The jewelry is beautiful, and they seem really easy to work with. If you have a problem and something gets broken, they say just return it and they will take care of it. I wish I had thought of taking pics before I sealed up my box, lol but I guess you will have to take my word for this one. So far, I'm loving it. If you want to check out Rocks Box just head over to their website.

V3 Life & Food PURE PREMIUM RAW ORGANIC YACON ROOT SYRUP Review


I am always looking for sweetener alternatives that are not terrible for me. I have used stevia, and agave and recently I got to try Yacon Root Syrup.V3 Life & Food's Yacon Root Syrup is made from naturally grown Yacon fields in Peru. Yacon is low in calories and low on the glycemic index scale. Yacon is ideal for diabetics, and it's a great alternative to conventional low cal sweeteners. Yacon root syrup has been shown to help with weight management, increase fiber intake, and promote bowel function. It is also a powerful antioxidant. It also has no add4ed preservatives. As far as the flavor goes, I found it to be similar to agave. If you have not tried agave , then it is comparable to honey in texture and flavor, with a little stronger flavor. I like it. I added it to my smoothies, and tea. It works great as a sweetener, and you have the added peice of mind of knowing that you are boosting your metabolism, and putting something healthy into your body. You can get the product at Amazon  here. To find out more about the company you can check out thier website here.

There are so many of us out there that don't get enough sleep, for any number of reasons:Your husband likes to watch tv at night,you suffer from insomnia, you work nights and have a hard time sleeping during the day. This bedtime bliss sleep mask is great for these kinds of problems. This contoured sleep mask completely blocks out all light which is the best sleeping condition you can hope for,also the mask is designed so that it does not lay on your eyes, you are free to move and open your eyes , therefor it feels less oppressive. It has an adjustable strap to fit all head sizes without being tight.You also get a pair of earplugs to block out the sounds, and a nice little bag to use if you travel with them. The eyemask itself is very soft and squishy and surprisingly easy to sleep with. It is not tight, and does not feel constricting or uncomfortable. Not an ounce of light gets in. I found it to be really helpful and relaxing. I would recommend it to anyone who has trouble sleeping.The company also guaruntees your money back if you're not happy with the product, which is a good sign they 100% believe in the product. You can purchase this product on Amazon here., or on the company's website here.

Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter Review and Giveaway

I recently recieved some raw organic unfiltered shea butter from Beauty by Shea to try an d review for my honest opinion.  To make sure it is the purest it can be Beauty by Shea's shea butter is double filtered, first in Ghana, and then at their US Lab where it is manufactured into  1lb bricks, packaged into heat sealed bags, and sent straight to Amazon thereby preserving the natural richness, and purity of the shea butter for their customers.The shea butter is 100% pure with no added ingredients.It is naturally rich in itamins A, E, F, and K to nourish your skin.It's perfect for use on skin and hair, and it can be used in homemade beauty products like, lotions, soaps, conditioners and more..the sky is the limit here.  I tried the shea butter on my cracked heels and it worked as a great moisturizer. Also, my boyfriend works very hard and has very dry and calloused hands..so I have started using the shea butter on them. He loves it.I also used it on my chapped lips with great results.
My first impression of the product was that it had a simple pretty and natural packaging and when I opened it, the texture is wonderful, but the smell is not really pleasant,or unpleasant..but it makes a great base to add your own fragrance to make your own products. I am experimenting with all sorts of ways to use it and make my own products with it.My boyfriend even tried it to grease the inside of our bedroom door so it would not stick..lol. 
  I'm excited to see what combinations I can make out of this great natural base.You can find the product on Amazon here.

Gecko Monitor Review and Giveaway

I'm excited to tell you guys about this program I recently have been able to try. Gecko Monitor is a computer program that lets you monitor what is going on on your computer while you are away or while someone else is using it. This is great for parents who want to know what their kids are doing online, and also for bosses who want to keep tabs on their employees, or any other use you can think of. I think this is a great idea for parents to know what their kids are doing. We are in the age of technology and if you are a parent whos kids are allowed online you definatly need to know what they are doing, who they are talking to, what sites they are visiting. I would recommend this product to any parent. Some of the great features of this product are:

Colors of Awakening: Into the Mists Ebook Review

I just read this wonderful book by O.N. Gandelman  and now I am hanging on the edge of my seat for the next installment. I would recommend this book to teens, tweens and adults alike. It has something for everyone. This is a story with  fantasy, magic, friendship, mystery, love, and adventure. It definitely has a Harry Potter feel to me, bringing you inside a world of magic and mystery. The author paints a vivid picture of a magical world and all of it's unique characters while taking you along on a magical adventure full of one surprise after another. I loved the imagery and getting to know the great characters.
   This is a story of 3 girls with seemingly normal lives, connected by friendship, but right off the bat it catches your interest and making you wonder just what is going on, and before you know it the girls are whisked off to a magical world where they themselves discover powers they had forgotten. How will they react to all of these changes and what adventures and crazy situations will they end up in. I won't give anymore away. You will have to read for yourselves in this great story. I suggest you do. I loved it. Theres nothing I love more than letting a story sweep me away, and feeling like I am right there in this magical world myself. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. You can see for yourself on Amazon here.
