Foxbrim Hyaluronic Acid Review

I recently got to experience Foxbrim's hyaluronic acid. This is a skin care product that is safe for all skin types, and is made to make your skin glow, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. The serum ingredients include hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, jojoba and green tea. y impression of the product is that it has a cute logo, and a pleasant scent. The product is a little sticky at first but quickly blends into the skin. You can use it under makeup, so it's good for everyday. Although I'm partial to a pump bottle, the dropper top on this bottle is just as easy to use. The hyaluronic serum is all natural and I can't wait to see the long term effects it has on my skin. As of now my skin is clear and soft. This product has so many wonderful natural ingredients that I'm sure it can have many positive effects on my skin. I love the idea that there are no harsh chemincals. If you want to try this product you can get it onAmazon .

Vegetarian Weight Loss by Jonathan Vine E-Book Review

I recently read the ebook Vegetarian Weight Loss by Jonathan Vine. This is a great book for vegetarians who want to lose some weight but have no idea where to start or the right foods to eat.
It explains the health benefits of being a vegetarian, and how it helps you lose weight,  sources of vitamins and protein, and foods to eat and avoid. Also, there are 50 great recipes to try that are geared to help you lose weight. I think the book is a great resource and there a bunch of recipes that I would love to add to my diet like, mushroom chili, Italian vegetable hoagies, Mediterranean  roasted tomato soup, apple cinnamon French toast, and waffles with cherry sauce. If you ask me these don't sound like diet food. They sound amazing. I'm looking forward to trying some of these very soon. You can find the book on Amazon. It's definitely worth a read.

Stainless Steel Measuring Cups by Kitchen Made Review

I recently had the opportunity to try this set of 6 nesting measuring cups, made of top quality polished stainless steel. The cups are engraved on the handles and sides of the cups so that the markings will never rub off. The also incorporate a pouring lip that makes them suitable for wet or dry ingredients. I found these measuring cups to be very sturdy, and easy to use. They are a nice looking set, that are designed to fit inside each other so they take up very little space. They are very functional, convenient and attractive. I have used them with both wet and dry ingredients easily, and they fit neatly in my silverware drawer. The material is very durable, and I can see the measuring cups lasting a lifetime. I'm looking forward to plenty of baking with these in the future. For more information about this company, visit their website . You can purchase them on Amazon for $17.67. I believe that if I'm right and they will last a lifetime, then they are worth that small investment.

Natures Best Vitamin C Serum by Mystelic Review

Nature's Best Vitamin  C Serum by Mystelic is know to stimulate collagen and reverse the effects of aging. The company's claim is to be the highest quality vitamin c serum on the market. They say the serum will remove toxins, create collagen, and diminish fine lines and wrinkles. The product is made with organic ingredients, and it is  great for all skin types. It's said to reduce the appearance of acne and scars. I got to try the product for free for my honest review. My impressions were that It has a pleasant scent. A little goes a long way, if you put it on lightly then it absorbs into the skin quicky and does not leave a sticky finish. I have tried other brands on Vitamin C Serum, and the one thing I might change is that I prefer the pump bottle to the dropper bottle, but I think that is a matter of preference. This bottle which has the dropper top is also simple to use.I have used the product for a month and I think that my skin feels clear and smooth..with long term use I'm excited to see some wrinkle reduction. I love that its all natural, and I'm not putting any chemicals on my skin. That is harder and harder to find these days.The company also has a 45 day guarantee. If you're unhappy with the product within 45 days you can receive  100% of your money back. You can find the product at Amazon. You can also find out more about the company on their website.

Adovia Exfoliating Facial Salts Review

I was able to try Adovia Exfoliating Facial Salts for free for my honest review. My first impression was that they give you a massive amount, well worth the $19.00 price tag at Amazon , these will last forever. This is basically a microdermabrasion treatment/exfoliator. My usual problem with exfoliators is that whatever the ingredient in them that is meant to do the actual exfoliating, the rough textured ingredient, it is never strong enough. In this case that is not a problem. This is basically straight salt and so they have a very rough texture. You can wet your face and apply them directly to your skin. and massage. The product description boasts using it will give you more radiant, clear and beautiful skin by gently exfoliating dead skin cells . They also say it's designed perfectly for acne prone and oily skin, but by adding the product to a gentle cleanser or olive oil it can work great for skin that needs extra moisture too. The salts impart special minerals in the skin while stripping away dead cells to leave skin looking radiant, smooth and refreshed. Salts also naturally remove bacteria and excess oils.  Since I started using them, my skin feels great. I have had no excess dry skin like usual and my face is clear and soft. I will definitely continue to use this product, and I'm very glad I got to try it.

UV Sight's #1 Ultraviolet Blacklight Stain & Urine Detector Review

I recently got to try this product for free for my honest review.  My first impressions: The light is compact and easy to handle. The on off control is easy to use.  There is a convenient carry loop, and it takes 3 triple a batteries. The light is strong, and picks up any abnormalities like pet urine. This is a great product to have if you have pets. If there is a pet urine odor but you can't find it, just click on this compact uv blacklight and shine it around the room and if there are any stains to be found they will shine bright white under the blacklight.  It works by reacting with certain chemicals in urine that fluoresce under ultra violet light . I could not have asked for a better product to outwit my sneaky cats. I'm glad I got to try this product. Although my cats are very clean animals, you never know when you might need this product.You can find this balcklight on amazon here for $14.97.

Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics Review

I recently got to experience the Organic Matcha Gree Tea from Kiss Me Organics. I have heard many great things about Matcha Tea. It is supposed to increase your energy and focus, help you lose weight by boosting your metabloism, improve the health of your skin, and it has 137 times the antioxidants of brewed green tea, one of which is shown to generate new brain cells and improve your memory. Also, this product is 100% Organic What could be better than all of this? This tea comes in a powder, that can be used in smoothies, lattes, and baking. Mine also came with a great recipe guide. The powder has a very strong smell, but don't let that scare you off..It does not overpower your recipes. I used this product most in smoothies,but I am excited to try and bake with it too. It is so simple just to throw it in to anything you're making. It did not effect the taste of my smoothies, and I did find that I was energized, and my skin has been clear. I have lost a few pounds, but I have also been dieting...but I have high hopes that this will contribute to that as well. We will see what happens with long term use, but I am excited about it. I would definately recommend this product and buy it again. This Matcha Green Tea powder can be found on Amazon.com.

Day By Day Beauty Hyaluronic Serum Review


I recieved Day By Day Beauty's Hyaluronic Serum  to try and review I used the Hyaluronic Serum as they advise with the Vitamin C Serum, for about a month. The product has a pleasant smell. To me it does feel a little bit sticky but once the product dries taht feeling goes away. The product is supposed to moisturize your skin and make it look radiant and younger.

The serum also delivers antioxidants to your skin which is always a plus. It has an easy pump bottle, which I like.I have very sensitive skin and it caused no irritation.

Sticker You White Vinyl Personalized Stickers Review and Contest

I just recently got to personalize my own white vinyl stickers from Sticker You.  I am so excited. First of all it was just so much fun to browse through hundreds of art and designs, and colors, and fonts to personalize my own lables for my business. The options on this website are endless. You can choose any kind and size of sticker you could think of, and basically make them look like anything your imagination can dream up. They just have so many beautiful designs. I personally decided on labels for products from my business. The website was super simple to use, very straight forward. If you're like me lol you could browse for hours and get it exactly how you want it, but it could also be a quick easy process if you are looking for something simple. My stickers arrived very quickly and I was so happy with them. They are absolutely beautiful, and exactly how I designed them. I will definitely use this website again, and for all of my future business labels, and probably many other things.  Here is a picture of one of my awesome stickers.

Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror Review

I recently got to try a Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror . The mirror has anti fog nanotechnology.  The mirror came with two anchors that you attach to your shower wall with a peel and stick backing that holds like super glue. They attach very securely. The mirror then hangs onto one of them from a small hole at the top and rests on the other one. The mirror is a good size but also doesn't take up much space because it's very flat, and sits right against the wall. The bottom anchor also acts as two hooks to hang your razors or other items from. I have to admit, I was a skeptic about weather this mirror would actually not fog up like they claim. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. There was no fogging whatsoever. As long as you don't hang the mirror directly in the water stream then you will have a clear mirror for the length of your shower. I love it. Obviously I don't use it for shaving but my boyfriend does and he loves it. However, I do use it for washing my face in the shower, and I think it's great. I was overall very pleased with the mirror. They also have a 100% money back guarantee, no questions asked if you are unhappy with the product.

Adovia Eye Cream Review

I received Adovia Mineral Eye Cream for free for my honest review.My first impression of the product was that a little goes a long way. It's moisturizing and has a cooling effect. I put it on in the morning , under my makeup and at night before bed. I imagine that the product has more of a long term effect, but so far I think I see a small reduction in puffiness and under eye circles. The eye cream contains dead sea minerals and vitamin C, which delivers powerful antioxidents to the skin.The company promises that your eyes will look 10 years younger or your money back. I can wait to see my eyes as the results progress over time. Check it out at Cleopatraschoice.com

Pet Groomer Deshedding Tool Review

I recently got to try this product and I was very impressed. I have a large long haired dog, who sheds her black hair all over my house constantly. It is awful. She also hates to be brushed lol. I tried this deshedding tool on her and it effortlessly removes all of the excess hair very gently. The best part about it is that it has and easy eject button that you press to release all of the hair. You don't even have to touch it. It's really a great tool. Not to mention the company has an unbreakable guarantee, which means that if you break it they replace it..guaranteed. My dog still hates being brushed but she just doesn't like being bothered..lol That will never change. This tool will definately help me keep the black hair tumbleweeds down in my house.

Day by Day Beauty Vitamin C Serum Review

   I recently was able to try and review Day by Day Beauty's Vitamin C Serum. Vitamin C serum is known for smoothing the texture of your skin, reducing lines and wrinkles, tightening your skin, brightening your skin, shrinking pores, and calming inflamation, all of which I would love to see in my skin and I'm sure all of you would too. Day by Day Beauty's Vitamin C serum is made in the USA, FDA approved, Not tested on animals,No parabens, alcohol, or fillers, and 98% natural and 72% organic.


    I have been using the Vitamin C serum, with their hyaluronic serum for a little under a month. I imagine that seeing big results are a little more long term but, I can tell you what I think so far. My first impression was that the serum was a little bit sticky, but it dries very quickly, and then that sensation is gone.It has a pleasent scent, and an easy pump bottle. I used it once in the morning and once at night, and then put my regular moisturizer on top of it. The first good news is that I have very sensitive skin, and this caused me no irritation. Hooray! You would not believe the amount of products that irritate my skin. It's a curse..lol I found it definately makes my skin feel refreshed and, I think I have noticed a small difference in the size of my pores, and, fingers crossed, a little blurring in the forehead wrinkles. If this continues the longer I use it, then I will be very impressed.

    The product sells on  amazon.ca for $28.95 canadian for a 1 oz. bottle, and on their website  for $29.95 . I'm very glad I got to try the product for free and test it first because that is normally more than I would spend on something that I am not yet familiar with the results. On the plus side, the company has great customer service,they seem to be dedicated to making a healthy natural product that is recyclable , and they also have a 100% satisfaction guaruntee for the life of the product, which let's face it, is pretty much them saying we know you will love our product, or else we don't turn a pofit. This tells me the product is a winner. I'll keep you updated on any more changes I see in my skin, but for now...so far so good. Thanks for letting me try your product Day by Day Beauty.

Charlie The Cavalier Begs For Attention Review

I recently had the chance to try and review a new children’s book called Charlie the Cavalier Begs for Attention written by Lisa Rusczyk and illustrated by  Magdalena Takáčová. This was a very sweet children’s book that would be ideal for children with parents who travel for business or are out of town a lot. It comes with an adorable puppet which u can use to interact with your child via webcam. This story explains that loved ones sometimes have to be away but gives the child reassurance that Charlie is there protecting them. The story has a sweet rhyme scheme mixed with songs and whimsical illustrations. I thought it was very enjoyable, and a great tool to teach a life lesson that is very prominent in many families today.The book will be published in print and digital forms in July 2014, and will be available for purchase on Amazon.

Influenster: TLC VoxBox

Hey guys, So I received the TLC VoxBox from Influenster…Yay! It was packed full of fun little things to try. Let me give you the DL on the stuff I got to try for free.
Shell Fuel Rewards Card- This sounds like a great program, there are lots of ways to earn cents off on your gas purchases..which let’s face it …we all need: shopping online, dining out, shopping out, and shoppin g at shell stations for gas and other things. Unfortunately for me there are no shell gas stations for 50 miles or more from where I live..but for most people this would be great.
Breyer’s Gelato Indulgances-These are yummy gelato mixed with sauces and topping to for one incredibly delicious dessert experience.
Puffs to go- I got the travel or to go pack from puffs. It’s super convenient to carry around with you and the tissues are so soft. It’s great for allergy season, when you are out and about.
Neosporin Neo To Go- This is a great little devise that you can carry with u for boo boos. It sprays on the Neosporin and conveniently twists to open. Unfortunately I did not read the instructions and I took the top off…don’t do this..lol I broke it because the spring that makes it spray with the top on came out. This was my own stupid fault for not reading the directions..lol
Ivory Bar Soap- Ivory is of course a classic soap that I think everyone loves. It’s creamy, swmeels great and makes my skin soft and also smell great.
Avon Anew Reversalist Express Wrinkle Smoother- This stuff seems to actually work pretty good to my surprise.. It doesn’t completely get rid of wrinkles but it does kind of blur them out by filing them in. I use it daily for the unsightly wrinkles on my Forehead.
Well folks that was my second VOXBOX..I’m hoping for many more. It’s so much fun to get a surprise box full of great products to try. I hope this was helpful . Thanks for reading.

Catching Up

 Ok, so I've been away for a long time. I was trying out another blogging site..but here I am back again for an update. I ended up cancelling Birchbox after a few months and going for Ipsy which I felt was more geared toward makeup and the samples were more of what I was looking for. I love Ipsy. As soon as I get back on track I will start reviewing the boxes again. I also got Beauty Box 5 last month with a free coupon code. I didn’t cancel in time so I am got to get it for one more month, but I won’t be continuing after that, the samples seemed smaller and not as much makeup as I wanted, but it’s always great to get to try something for free…am I right? I have some great posts about some awesome bargains I got coming soon too..so please stay tuned! It will take me a little bit to start getting into a routine and blogging regularly. MY mind is somewhat all over the place,there are a million things I want to do lol and only so much time, which reminds me of the most perfect thing I saw on Pinterest that sums me up quite nicely:
34b5f31756d22e237fac42007629c7ac
Anyway, that about sums me up. See you all soon with lots of great random chaos for you to mull over!
