Weight Gurus Digital Bathroom Scale


#becomegurus
I recently had the opportunity to try out this Weight Gurus Digital Bathroom Scale. I have to say, I really like it. It's sleek, easy to use and not bulky. I love that it's digital and the numbers are large because it makes it so much easier to read.

This bathroom scale has worked great for my entire family. It's nice having a dependable and accurate scale to use. It's been so long since I've had a good one. The last one I had only lasted a month and it was broke.

This scale, although it's glass seems very durable and strong. I'm a bit on the heavy side so it's hard to find a scale that will hold me and give me an accurate reading. This one has definitely surprised me. It's great quality and does exactly what it says it will do.

It has great features such as:
  • Auto Step-on (turns on when you step on it)
  • Auto off
  • Auto Calibration
  • Auto user detect (great for multiple users)
  • Non slip
  • Scratch resistant feet
This scale was specifically designed to encourage weight loss. You can get a free Weight Gurus app on your iPhone or other smart phone which helps you track your progress. You can use your phone's camera to scan the scales display which will sync it to your phone and help you track your progress easily.

If your looking for a dependable scale with great features I highly encourage you to consider this one. It has worked great for me and my family.

If you would like to learn more about this scale or purchase it for yourself you can do so on Amazon. You can purchase it for $24.99 and it comes in black or clear.

100% Natural Konjac Facial Sponge with Activated Bamboo Charcoal by PurSOL


#pureKonjacSponge
 Have I mentioned how much I love these natural Konjac Facial Sponges? I have tried one similar to this that was more of a tear drop shape. This one is more dome shaped, round on one side and flat on the opposite side.

This sponge is made up of 100% pure vegetable fibers which gently massage the skin and stimulate blood flow. The added bamboo charcoal which contains activated carbon and essential minerals deeply cleanses and absorbs excess sebum, toxins and other harmful chemicals from your skin.

This one is a bit small but it fits nicely in the palm of your hand. It's also a bit firmer than others I have tried. However, it's still gentle and just as effective. I am really impressed with this Konjac Sponge by PurSOL.

After soaking the sponge in water as directed, I rubbed it all over my face in a circular motion with a slight pressure for about a minute concentrating on my most problematic area which is my t-zone. The skin on my nose always feels a bit rough which makes applying makeup horrendous because it doesn't go on very smooth.

After using this product, my rough patches are gone and my skin feels so smooth and polished. It really helps improve the texture of your skin. You don't even have to use a cleanser. I haven't been using a cleanser with this product and my skin has never looked better. I'm having less breakouts and noticing less blackheads as well. I really like the fact that this product helps prep my skin for the various serums and creams that I use. I feel that it makes those products so much more effective.

If you are interested, this product is available for sell on Amazon  for only $10 which I feel is a great deal because you won't be disappointed with this little facial sponge. It truly is amazing in my opinion!

Complete Anti-Aging Moisturizer by Foxbrim


I have definitely reached a point in my life where I need to start using anti-aging products. I'm 26 years old and not only have I been noticing a considerable amount of grey hair but I've also noticed some fine lines that have started to form, especially around my eyes.

My mother-in-law is in her 60's and she has the best skin I have ever seen. She takes really good care of it and highly recommends serums and creams especially ones like this anti-aging moisturizer by #Foxbrim.

This particular product contains only organic ingredients so it is very gentle on the skin. I really like the fact that it contains retinol. I've always heard that retinol was the key to combating wrinkles. It helps strengthen your skin's elasticity and boost collagen production.

This product also helps unclog pores and reduce overall pore size, clear acne and reduce redness and also lighten discoloration brought on by sun and environmental damage.

I'm really glad that I got the opportunity to try this product because I really like it. It's light, absorbs quickly and has a light to no scent. It's non-irritating and will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. I've definitely noticed that when I apply this moisturizer, it really helps smooth out my fine lines where they are not as noticeable. I think with continued use, I should really start seeing a reduction in the fine lines and help prevent new ones from forming. 

I know developing wrinkles is inevitable but I am willing to try anything to help slow the process. I believe that this moisturizer can really help do that.

If you are interested in learning more about this product or purchase it for yourself, it is available on Amazon for $17.95 and you get a money back guarantee! Also if you are interested in seeing what other products Foxbrim has to offer, check out their website here

Deep Cleansing Facial Oil by InstaNatural

So far I have been loving the products I've tried from #InstaNatural. However, I will have to admit I was a bit apprehensive about this facial oil at first. The thought of adding more oil to my face kind of scared me a bit but I was pleasantly surprised.

What this oil does is melt away dirt, impurities and makeup without stripping the skin of it's natural oils or disturbing the natural pH balance. I know from experience that when I use a sudsy type soap to wash the makeup off my face, my skin is left very tight, dry and itchy. I'm guessing this is due to the stripping of your skins oils which is obviously not good.

What I like about this product is all the awesome ingredients it contains such as Jojoba Oil,Olive Oil, Lavendar Essential Oil, Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil, Tamanu Oil, Hemp Oil, Sea Buckthorn Oil and Geranium Essential Oil. These oils really help moisturize and soothe the skin.

I really liked how gentle this product is and how effective it was at removing my makeup. I always have the hardest time getting my mascara off and I end up scrubbing to the point I leave my skin irritated and red. 

I pumped a few squirts of this product on a washcloth and swiped it all over my face and eyes. It didn't take much to successful remove my entire face of makeup including my eye makeup. I was very surprised at how well it worked. After I rinsed my face, my skin was left feeling soft and smooth. You could still feel a tad bit of oiliness to the skin but it wasn't excessive or bothersome. It actually felt a lot nicer than that tight itchy feeling I used to get. My skin felt soothed and moisturized.

I am very pleased with this product and will continue to use it, especially as a makeup remover since it was so effective. It also great for soothing the skin after shaving or sun burns.

If you are interested in learning more about this product, please check out InstaNatural's website here. This product is also available for purchase on Amazon for $19.95.

Braun ThermoScan 5 Influenster VoxBox

I'm so excited! I received my second voxbox from Influenster. This time it was the Braun ThermoScan 5 Ear thermometer. I was very eager to try it because I also have the Braun Forehead thermometer and I absolutely love it!

I was not disappointed with this one either. It was very easy to use, so simple and accurate. I compared it with the forehead thermometer to see if there were any variations in the results that I got but they both read pretty much the same temperature.

I have two young boys, one who is in school and always bringing a bug home to share with his baby brother. Just the other day he was not feeling well and I noticed his skin felt hot so I got this thermometer out right away and took his temperature and sure enough he had a fever. It gave me a read within seconds which is so much better than the traditional methods of temperature taking. My oldest son never liked having a thermometer stuck under his arm for five minutes waiting not so patiently I might add, for the beep.

I also really like that the tip is designed with pre-warmed tip technology which helps minimize the cooling effect of the tip inside the ear canal. Having something cold stuck in your ear would not be comfortable especially for an infant so I really appreciate that aspect of the product.

Thankfully I haven't had to use it on my youngest son, although I did try it out just to see how it worked. The only thing that I could complain about is that it is a bit frustrating and time consuming to carefully place the tip in the ear when you have a squirmy baby who keeps trying to turn his head to see what your trying to do to him. It is also a bit pricey for the product itself and to have to buy replacement tip covers. Other than that, I really like the thermometer because it gives you quick and accurate results that you can depend on.

If you are interested in this product it is available on Amazon or drugstore.com for about $42-$45. It's definitely not the cheapest of thermometers but if your looking for a superior product that is going to give you fast and accurate results every time then I would highly recommend you try the Braun ThermoScan 5 Ear thermometer. I really don't think you will be disappointed.

Note: I received this product free from +Influenster for testing purposes.

#adovia
Here is another great product from Adovia Mineral Skin Care. This Natural Sulfur Soap is enriched with minerals and sulfur from the Dead Sea.

The sulfur in this soap has antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. So it's going to give your face and body a thorough clean without being too harsh or overly drying.

I get acne and blackheads from time to time so this is a great product for me because not only am I getting clean but I'm combating my skin issues at the same time. When your skin is in a delicate state it's better to use a soap such as this one, that is gentle and will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth and not irritated further.

If you are having skin issues such as the ones mentioned above, you might want to give this product a try. I've definitely noticed less breakouts since using this product. I really like that I can clean my face and my body with just one product and not have to use several different ones.

Youthful Radiance Eye Cream by Foxbrim


#foxbrim
If your looking for a simple and gentle eye cream, here is one for you. Foxbrim's Youthful Radiance Eye Cream is sure to leave your eyes looking brighter and  more rested.

This product contains ingredients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Aloe, Green Tea Extract, Jojoba Oil. These amazing ingredients are going to help help illuminate dull and under-nourished skin as well as dramatically reduce wrinkles, fine lines, puffiness and dark circles in just a matter of weeks!

I am very pleased with this product. It comes in a .5 fluid ounce pump bottle. It's very small but a little really goes a long way. It also comes in a 1 fluid ounce size. I really like the pump though. It pumps out just enough product. One pump is probably enough for both eyes.



The cream is very thick but it goes on very light. It really hydrates the eye area and helps you look more rested. The extra moisture that you get when using this cream is going to help plump up you skin and smooth out any fine lines that you have.

I'm 26 years old and just now starting to see fine lines forming around my eyes which is why I have become increasingly more interested in anti-aging products and youth serums and such.

This eye cream is definitely a good one to try and I recommend it to all ages because I believe that your skin can benefit from the amazing ingredients in this product at any age!

Argan Oil Hair Mask by InstaNatural


#InstaNatural
 I am so glad I got the opportunity to try this Argan Oil Hair Mask by InstaNatural. It completley exceeded my expectations!

I'm always a bit skeptical about products that claim to make my hair shinier or softer because I have been let down so many times. But I am happy to say, this product was not one of those.

This hair mask is a deep conditioning treatment is designed to transform dry and damaged strands into soft, shiny, healthy hair. It contains restorative ingredients such as: Argan Oil, Amino Acid Complex, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil, and Vitamin B5.

The best part about this product is that it's made up of organic ingredients so you don't have to worry about putting chemicals on your hair which could lead to further damage.

When I first used this product, my hair was very long and very thick. I was having so many problems with split ends, dullness and just a lack of shine to my hair.

I applied this mask very generously to my hair and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. The recommended time is 5-15 minutes. I noticed that when the product started to dry in my hair it felt a bit crunchy.

When I rinsed it out, I could immediately feel the difference in my hair. It felt so silky between my fingers and smelled very good I might add. The mask smells very sweet like something you would eat. After I dried my hair, I could definitely tell a difference. My hair was much more smooth and less frizzy and it also had a natural looking shine to it. I was very pleased with the results I got using this product. My hair also smelled good for days!

I would highly recommend you give this product a try. If it can work for my hair I know it can work for yours. If you would like to learn more about this product or purchase it for yourself you can do so on Amazon. It currently sells for $17.95. Also, if you would like to visit the company's website to learn more about other products they have to offer click here.

Cellulite and Body Firming Cream by Sieva


I just recently had the opportunity to try out this cellulite and body firming cream by Sieva. I have a lot of trouble areas where I'm plagued with unsightly dimples, also known as cellulite.

In my opinion, no cream is magically going to make your cellulite disappear. Only exercise and eating right can help you prevent it in the first place. But in some cases it might be hereditary.

However, I do think that creams such as this one can help reduce the appearance of it.


This particular cellulite cream is supposed to hydrate, firm and stimulate blood flow leaving the skin tight, elastic and smooth. I have to say, it did help hydrate my skin and make it feel tighter. I applied it on my thighs because that is where I have the most trouble with dimples, gross I know.

The one thing that I really didn't like about this product was the smell. It was not pleasant at all! It reminded me of those cooling gels you put on your arthritis, like icy hot. I was really surprised by the smell. I guess I was thinking it would be better.

However, the smell of a product is not the most important thing. What's important is the effectiveness. I honestly cannot vouch for whether or not this product actually works because I haven't really noticed any difference. I will try it out a bit longer but so far, I'm not impressed.

Although this product did not work for me, it might work for others. Maybe my problems are just too much for this cream to handle. This product has some good reviews on Amazon so I know it does work for some people.

If you would like to learn more about this product or purchase it for yourself, you can do so on Amazon. It currently sells for $35.

Stainless Steel Ingrown Hair Splintertweeze by Majestic Bombay


Are you tired of those pesky ingrown hairs that are hard to get to with your normal everyday tweezers? Or how about that stubborn splinter you've been digging around on for days?

I have a solution! Stainless steel ingrown hair splintertweeze by Majestic Bombay. These nifty little tweezers are sure to remove even the most stubborn of ingrown hairs or splinters that are embedded deep beneath the skin.

What I like about these tweezers is the sharp pointed tip. This allows for a more precise extraction of hairs or splinters. If you've ever used regular tweezers to do this you know how hard it can be. You end up doing more damage than good.

These tweezers have a wide grip which makes it easy to hold and it comes with a rubber cap to place on the sharp tip which I appreciate. I have small children and accidents can happen so it's nice to see that this company was considerate enough to think about the safety aspect of this product because it is very sharp.

My husband get's quiet a few ingrown hairs that I help pluck which can be a tedious job with regular tweezers. I'm so thankful I got the opportunity to try this product because it's going to make the job so much easier and less painful.

If you would like to learn more about this product or purchase it for yourself you can do so on Amazon. It currently sells for $8.50.You also visit the company's website here to see what other products they have.

Sieva Stretch Mark & Scar Cream


#sievastrechmark
If your looking for a cream to help prevent or even improve stretch marks or fade scars here is a good one. This stretch mark and scar cream is made by Sieva and contains some awesome ingredients such as Shea and Cocoa Butter, Aloa Vera and Olive Oil.

These ingredients are really good for the skin and will help improve it's elasticity which is very important especially during changes in your body that happen during pregnancy or weight fluctuations.




This product claims to:
  • Improve elasticity and firmness skin
  • Reduce discoloration of stretch marks
  • Help rejuvenate, smooth and hydrate skin
This cream will not only help moisturize your skin but help improve it's elasticity which will help prevent future stretch marks. I actually wish I would have had this product while I was pregnant recently. When my skin started to stretch it became itchy and painful. This cream would have really been helpful and soothing to my skin.

The cream goes on a bit thick and takes a bit to rub it in but once it is, your skin is going to feel so soft and moisturized. It has a great smell too. I always liked the smell of Cocoa Butter. It almost has a sweet chocolate smell to it.

I haven't been using this product long enough to really tell a big difference in the appearance of my stretch marks yet but it feels good knowing that by using this product, I can prevent new ones from forming. I will continue using this product to help with stretch marks or scars and as a moisturizer for my skin.

If you would like to learn more about this product or purchase it, you can do so on Amazon. It is currently unavailable at this time but keep checking. They should have some available soon.

Moisturizing Day Cream by Adovia


#moisturizer
Here is another amazing product by Adovia Mineral Skincare. I have tried several of their products and I have yet to be disappointed.

I love that their products contain natural ingredients and not a bunch of harmful chemicals. I feel that these natural ingredients are the best thing for your skin, especially if your skin is sensitive like mine tends to be.

This moisturizing day cream contains an active complex of Dead Sea minerals for natural moisture balance, Grape Seed oil for quick hydration and Chamomile extract and Aloe Vera to calm and
soothe your skin. 

What I like about this product is that it doesn't go on extremely thick and leave a heavy feeling on your skin. It's light and absorbs quickly leaving your skin moisturized and supple.

The cream comes in a 1.7 fl oz jar which is not a whole heck of a lot but a little really goes a long way with this product so it should last you a good while.

The smell is a bit strong for my taste but the good thing about it is it doesn't linger too long. I usually don't care for products that have a heavy scent but I am willing to make an exception with this cream because it comes from Adovia and I know they make superior products.

If you would like to learn more about Adovia and their products you can visit their webpage here. You can also purchase this product on Amazon for $25.95.

UNi 100% Organic Pure Moroccan Argan Oil


I recently got the opportunity to try this Argan Oil and I have to say, I'm not disappointed at all. I've been hearing a lot of hype lately about how good this stuff is for your hair and skin so I had to give it a try. This product can be used in many ways. It can be used for the following:
        • Face Moisturizer
        • Leave-in Conditioner
        • Face Mask
        • Cuticle Softener
        • Deep Conditioning
        • Hair Shine
        • Body Oil
        • Anti-aging skin care
        • Hydrating Toner
        • Sun protection
        • Exfoliating Mask

This Argan Oil comes in a 2 fluid ounce bottle with a dropper so it's very easy to use. It doesn't really take a whole lot of product to get results. I have very thick hair so I probably use a half a dropper full for my hair.

I put this oil on my damp hair after my shower and it really helps tame the frizz. My hair is the worst about split ends and frizz but when I use this oil it really helps bring out the shine in my hair and keeps it from looking so dry and brittle.

What I really like about this oil is that it when you apply it, to your hair or skin it's not excessively greasy. It absorbs very quickly and doesn't have much of a smell. When applied to the skin, this oil can help reduce age spots and boost skin tones. I haven't really tried it on my skin per-say. I've mostly been using it for my hair but when I first received it, I did rub a little bit into my hand and it did absorb quickly and made my skin feel soft and silky.

I love organic beauty products! You don't have to worry about all the chemicals that can be damaging to your skin and hair. That's what makes this product so great because it 100% pure and natural. You cannot go wrong with this stuff. It's great for sensitive skin and is sure to help improve the look and feel of your skin and hair. It's also great for nails too!

If you would like to learn more about this amazing product or purchase it for yourself you can do so on Amazon here. This product currently sells for $14.49. Check it out!

Hydracentials Sporty 25 oz Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

What a wonderful water bottle! This water bottle is made of stainless steel and is double insulated. It comes with a flip cap and straw and the best part is, its BPA free and Eco friendly.

This bottle holds a good 25 oz of fluid which is a lot! It's perfect for the gym, camping, road trips or even just around the house. It's going to keep your beverages cold for a long time.

I tested it out as soon as I got it after I gave it a good wash. I filled it up with water and put 2 or 3 ice cubes in it and just left it out on the counter. I wanted to see just how long it would keep the water cold. The ice melted after about 3 or 4 hours, but the water stayed cool for 24 hours!

Another great thing about this water bottle is that it doesn't leak. That has always been a huge problem, trying to find a water bottle that wouldn't leak all over the place. I shook it and flipped it and it didn't leak one bit. Perfect!

I highly recommend this product. It's great for indoor use or outdoor. If you would like to learn more about this water bottle or purchase it, you can do so on Amazon. It currently sells for $27.97.

Olevine 100% Plant Based Konjac Sponge infused with Activated Charcoal


#beautysponge
All I have to say is wow! This is the best thing I've ever used for my face. When I first took the sponge out of the package I was like how in the world is this hard sponge going to exfoliate my skin without ripping it off? But then....I got it wet. This little sponge soaked up so much water and became so soft and fluffy! I massaged it gently over my face for about a minute or two. I couldn't believe how gentle it was. It felt so good on my face.

I patted my face dry after using it and I was amazed at how soft my skin was. It literally felt like every rough patch and bump was smoothed away. How could this soft little sponge be so effective? It has become my most favorite beauty tool!




Here is a little bit about the product:

The sponge is 100% natural and made up of konjac fibers which are grown on the pristine volcanic plains of Jeju Island in South Korea. It is free of chemicals, pollutant and irritants. The activated bamboo charcoal absorbs toxins, fights bacteria, and excess oils leaving your face glowing, refreshed and radiant. It even preps skin to boost the absorption of your favorite serums and creams.

What I like most about this product is that you don't even need to use a cleanser if you don't want to. I haven't used a cleanser yet and my skin has never looked or felt better. I really like the tear drop shape. It fits into the palm of my hand comfortably. It also has string threaded through one end so you can hang it when your done. This allows the product to dry between uses.

I use this sponge when I wake up in the morning before I put on my daily facial serums and at night before I go to bed. I have had fewer breakouts after using this product. I honestly feel it helps keep acne at bay. I couldn't ask for a better beauty tool.

I highly recommend this product to everyone, men and women. You will not be disappointed! If you would like to learn more about this amazing product or the company that make it, you can visit their website here. It is also available on Amazon. It currently sells for $12.45.
