100% Natural Garcinia Cambogia, 180 Capsules


Source
I am always trying to find something to help  me loose weight whether it's a weight loss shake or supplement. I need a product that will help curb my appetite.

This product contains the following ingredients:
  • Calcium Carbonate
  • Potassium Chloride
  • Chromium










Origin

Ayurvedic medicine traditionally utilized the sour fruit to activate digestion and stimulate the metabolism. The science lies in the fruit’s rind, which contains the active ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid, HCA, which is believed to boost fat burning and suppress appetite. HCA may also block a fat building enzyme called Citrate Lyase, and control insulin levels. Our supplements provide the optimum portion of natural HCA which, when accompanied with a wholesome diet and exercise, will lead you towards a healthy life and body.

Suggested Use 

As a dietary supplement take two (2) capsules twice a day. For best results take 20-30 min before a meal with an 8oz. glass of water or as directed by your health care professional.

I tried this product and although I did not experience any crazy side effects I didn't really notice that much of a difference in my appetite. I was hoping that it would help curb my appetite so I didn't feel hungry all the time and always wanting to eat.

Many people swear by this product but I don't think it will work the same for everyone. Everyone's body is different.

I was hoping that this product would be some sort of cure all or miracle for me but it just wasn't.

If you would like to learn more about this product and see if it might work for you check it out here. It currently sells for $14.95.

Perfective Ceuticals Divine Age Guardian Serum with Growth Factor


source
I love trying new skincare products. Which is why I was so excited to try this serum by Perfective Ceuticals.

 I'm no expert but I strive to get a more smooth and even skin tone as well as texture. I have combination skin and large pores. I struggle with blackheads but have very few breakouts.

The texture of my skin is what concerns me the most because when I apply makeup it clings to every bump and looks horrible.

Fine lines are also a huge concern for me. I have started to notice a few so I've been trying to find the perfect product to help combat and reduce them.








Product Description:

Divine Age Guardian Serum with Growth Factor is an intense wrinkle serum that features an unparalleled combination of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Amino Peptide. Each ingredient interacts synergistically, signaling cellular activity for renewed collagen, elastin and other skin proteins. In all, it reduces fine lines and wrinkles and imparts a more vibrant, youthful appearance. Incorporated with a cocktail of powerful anti-oxidants and the moisture binding Sodium Hyaluronate, it also restores radiance and suppleness and boosts the skin's immune function to shield against future aging. The result: Divine Age Guardian Serum with Growth Factor gives the skin instant gratification and lasting anti-aging results. Non-comedogenic. Fragrance-free. Scientifically proven.

My thoughts: 

This product cost $128 on Amazon so I figured for that price this stuff must work like a miracle but I was a little disappointed to find that it didn't work any better than other serums that I have tried that cost between $10-20. I was hoping for smoother skin, faded lines and more youthful appearance but I honestly didn't get any noticeable results. I can so however that it did make my skin feel smoother while using it but it did nothing for my fine lines. Keep in mind that this is just from a couple weeks of use. I gave up after the two weeks. But perhaps it takes longer to see results?

Although this product was not work like a miracle I still think it would be worth a try. It has some awesome ingredients in it and if you have the patience to use it daily for a extended period of time you just might see the results you are hoping for.

Dental Hygiene Kit by Majestic Bombay


I received this dental kit to try out by Majestic Bombay. I have to say I really love the quality of this set. I was expecting some cheap flimsy tools but these are stainless steel and really sturdy.

I have to admit I don't really take care of my teeth as well as I should. I usually leave the deep cleaning to the dentist....the "professionals." Besides brushing, flossing and rinsing there is really not much else I do but then again I never really had the tools to do much else.



With this kit I can clean my teeth thoroughly. It comes with 1 Dental Pick, 1 Scaling instrument, 1 Dental Mouth Mirror. The dental pick and scaling instrument are both double sided. I had to do some research on these tools to understand how to use them. The scaling instrument is used to scrape plaque off the surface of your teeth. The pick is used in a similar way as dental floss, to remove plaque from between your teeth. 

The quality of these tools are fantastic. I will suggest cleaning them with soap and water and boiling them for about 10 minutes before use. I also suggest talking to your dentist before using these products to make sure they are right for you and the proper way to use them. If not used correctly they could damage your teeth. 

If you would like to learn more about this product or others by Majestic Bombay you can visit their website here. This product is also available for purchase on Amazon for $14.99.

Infernal Innovations Magnetic Car Air Vent Mount for Mobile Devices


I got to try this device out recently. It is a magnetic air vent mount for mobile devices. It can also be used a desk stand for your phone. It's a great concept because it allows you to use your phone hands free while driving.

The product seems to be made very well and the magnetic plates are very strong. It rotates 360 degrees. It has a rubberized head so that your phone doesn't slip or get scratched.





The only problem I have found with this product is that when I installed it onto my air vent it and stuck my phone on it, it was so heavy that the vent slid down and would not stay up.This was inconvenient because I was not able to position it well enough to where I could see the screen as easily. It was pointing down.

Maybe it's just the way my vents are made that they slide up and down so easily but this product just did not work for me. The product itself seems fine and made well. It comes with everything you need for easy installation but if you got vents that slide up and down easy then I don't think this product will work for you.

If you would like to learn more about this product or try it out for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $12.99.

100% Pure Organic Jojoba Oil by Leven Rose


Here is a great product for your skin and hair. It is 100% pure organic jojoba oil.

This is a natural beauty product that is healthy for the skin. It doesn't contain any harsh chemicals or perfumes. That's why for the past couple of years I have been more interested in organic products. My skin can be sensitive so I don't like to use anything that has a lot of fragrance in it. It tends to burn and irritate my skin.

This product is very gentle on the skin and does not have a smell. I like to use it on dry areas of my skin like my elbows and legs, especially after a shower. I also like putting a couple drops on the ends of my hair to helps cut down on frizz and split ends which I get quite frequently.





I really enjoy using this product. You can use it for many different things such as for your hair, makeup removal and on your skin. You can also use it for many DIY's. Pinterest has a lot of great ideas.

If you would like to learn more about this product or other's by Leven Rose check out their website here. You can purchase the product on Amazon. It currently sells for $13.27.

Paracord Braclet and Paracord Grenade


I was very eager to review this product....okay actually my husband was very eager for me to review this product. He is very into "survival" stuff.

I will say though that these two products are pretty neat. They would really come in handy if you were to be in a situation where you were stranded and would be out in the wilderness with no tools on hand.






The bracelet came equipped with a fire starter and sharp eye knife/striker. The grenade came with a carabiner, blade/striker, paracord, tin foil, fishing line, 2 fishing hooks, cotton, snap swivels, 2 lead weights, magnesium bar, 2 small floats.

They come with everything you would need in an emergency situation. What is great about them is that you can attach them on your person so that if something happens you won't lose them easily.

The only thing that I did not like about the product was how difficult it is to put back together. You can reuse the product but it would take forever to reassemble it. It's possible though but I wouldn't want to have to do it.

Overall though I would say that this product would be a necessity especially for those who hike, camp or spend time outdoors in the wilderness.

The company has a website but is currently under maintenance. You can find the website here.

They are also located on Amazon.

Pocket Disc


Pocket Disc's are a fun versatile toy for everyone! I got to review this little guy and although he don't look like much, he can be pretty entertaining.

These disc are 100% cotton and handmade in Guatemala. They make a great toy for the whole family even the dog.

They come in a variety of different designs you can choose from and different sizes. The smaller disc like the one I have is great for indoor use. The bigger ones are best for outdoor use. The disc's are made very well and are so versatile.

They make a great alternative to a Frisbee. Frisbee's can be hard and dangerous especially for kids. The pocket disc is made of soft material so you don't have to worry about any injury's.

I'm pretty satisfied with this product. It's a unique and fun toy for everyone.

Baby Comfy Nose Nasal Aspirator


This is a neat product. If you have ever dealt with a child that had a stuffy nose you know how hard it is to get all that gunk out. Those bulb syringes are not that effective. They only get out a little at a time and you have to keep doing it over and over. By that time your child has done had enough.

With this nasal aspirator you use the power of your own lungs to suck out all the gunk. You have to place a tissue inside the egg shaped part, this is what helps filter everything so that your not sucking snot down your lungs. It seems like kind of a gross process but it so very effective. I couldn't believe how much gunk I got out of my babies nose the first time I tried it.




It comes with two different nose tips; standard and newborn. It also comes with a mesh pouch that you can store the product in and helps keep all the pieces together when you place the product in the dishwasher for cleaning.

I'm really impressed with how effective this product is and easy to use. The only thing I worry about is how sanitary it is. For instance, when my baby is sick I feel like I'm sucking that sickness into my lungs. I'm not sure how safe that is or if that would make me sick? Not real sure on that one. You would have to do your own research or ask your doctor. But if your desperate and nothing else is working give this product a try because it is definitely effective.

Vitamin C Lotion by Foxbrim


The one thing I'm bad about is not using a moisturizer daily on my skin. With the cooler weather and wind it brings dry, itchy skin for me at least. I was pleased to try this lotion because it's made of natural ingredients and claim to do the following: 

 • Effectively lighten spots and discoloration.
• Reduce wrinkle formation and existing wrinkles.
• Prevent collagen breakdown.
• Refine and even skin texture.
• Reduce overall pore size.
• Promote skin cell turnover.








What I really like about this lotion is the quality ingredients that it contains. It contains the following:

 + Vitamin C - Increase collagen production and prevent wrinkle formation.
 + MSM - Aids in maintaining youthful, glowing and healthy skin.
 + Jojoba Oil - Exceptional for replicating skin's natural moisture and creating even tone.
 + Green Tea - Effectively inhibits the enzymes that break down collagen and elastin.

These are wonderful ingredients for the skin. You can use this lotion on your face or body. It works great on the face. I feared it might be too thick for my preference but it was not that bad at all. It absorbed quickly and left my skin feeling soft. It didn't feel oily at all for me.

I also like using this on my hands and legs. There really is not a whole lot of product in the bottle for all over use but it works if you need it.

It doesn't have much of a smell. The scent is a very light organic smell. Sometimes you get a lotion that has so much perfume in it that it's overpowering and burns your eyes but this one don't. It's very gentle.

If you would like to learn more about this product or others like it you can visit the company website here. If you would like to purchase this product, it is available on Amazon and is currently selling for $18.95.

100% Pure Lemon Essential Oil by La Lune Naturals


I absolutely love essential oils! They have so many uses it's unreal. I particularly like this lemon essential oil by La Lune Naturals.

It is a therapeutic grade, unfiltered and undiluted with no fillers, no alcohol or other additives. It is a great antiseptic and disinfectant. It can be used to freshen the air, for cleaning and removing gum or oil or grease spots. 

I personally use it for cleaning purposes. Lemon is such a wonderful uplifting smell. It smells clean so I use it in my kitchen and my bathrooms. 

What I did was fill a spray bottle half way full with vinegar and the rest with water and add about 10-20 drops of the lemon oil, depending on how big your spray bottle is, mine was 28 ounces.  


 

I give the bottle a good shake before each use to help the oil be more evenly distributed. It makes everything smell and look so clean. I even add a couple drops in my dish washing wand to help improve my dish soap. I buy cheap dish soap so I feel like when I add the lemon oil it gives it a boost and helps my dishes be more sparkly. I've also added a couple drops to my dish washer right before a cycle to help freshen things up in there. Works great! 

So many different ways to use lemon essential oil. I am so glad that I discovered them. Since they are all natural I feel that they are much more safer to use around the house. I have little ones so this makes me feel good. 

If you would like to learn more about this essential oil or purchase a bottle for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $13.89 for a 4 fluid ounce bottle. It doesn't seem like a lot but a few drops goes a long way!

Ultimate Smile Professional At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit


I love trying teeth whitening products. I'm always looking for ways to whiten my teeth. I drink a lot of teeth so my teeth always seem a bit dingy.

This teeth whitening kit comes with two mouth trays, and two syringes containing 10ml dental carbomide peroxide teeth whitening gel, and retainer case for the mouth trays. 

The instructions were printed on a sheet of paper that was in the package. They were not that specific. The mouth trays have to be placed in 100 degree water but it didn't say for how long. 

When I did it, I left mine in for about 15-20 seconds and the mouth tray shrunk up so small I could barely get it in my mouth and parts of it folded in on itself and got stuck. 

It was a bit tricky but I finally got it to work. I then squirted about 1 ML of gel in each tray and placed it in my mouth. As soon as the gel hit my teeth and gums I could feel it starting to bubble. To be honest, it burned quiet a bit when the gel touches your gums and kind of left them a bit irritated. 

As far as results, I left mine in for 15 minutes and I could definitely tell a difference. My teeth were at least one shade whiter. I forgot to take a before picture so I can't really show my results but it did work. This kit would be great to use if you need to quickly whiten your teeth for a special occasion or something. It's not something I would use very often because it is very irritating to the gums. 

If you are interested in learning more about this product or purchasing it for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $24.99.

100% Pure Organic Argan Oil by NorthCoast Products


I recently tried this Argan Oil by NorthCoast Products and I have to say I really like it.

I never really thought about using oils for hair or skin until I learned just how beneficial they are.

This one in particular, the argan oil is good for many things such as hair, skin and nails.

When used on the skin it helps boost elasticity, reduce stretch marks, smile lines and bags under the eyes all without clogging up your pores. It can be used as a moisturizer.

When used on hair, it helps to reduce frizz and split ends. It helps strengthen and restore damaged hair.




I was hesitant at first about using this oil because I thought it would leave my skin feeling really oily and sticky. However, I realized that it absorbs very quickly and actually leaves my skin feeling soft without that greasy feeling. My skin gets really dry in the winter time and this oil is perfect to rub on my dry hands, legs and elbows. It really does help soften rough skin. I especially like applying it after a shower to help lock in the moisture.

The best part about this product is that it's 100% organic. You don't have to worry about any harsh chemicals that could just do your hair and skin more damage. This product is gentle and effective. I am pretty pleased with it.

If you would like to learn more about this product or others by NorthCoast you can visit the company website here. If you would like to purchase this product you can do so on Amazon. It currently sells for $19.99.

Elf Star Foam Edge Protector


I was very eager to try this foam edge protector by Elf Star. I have a very active toddler in my home and his safety is my number one priority.

There is one particular shelf that concerns me the most. It is a shorter book shelf that I sit my television on. When my oldest boy was younger he was running around the living room with a blanket on his head. He couldn't tell where he was going and his head hit the corner of that shelf. I figured since he had that thick blanket it probably didn't hurt but once I uncovered him, blood was just squirting out of his head.

It scared me half to death and ever since that corner always worried me. Now that my youngest son is just about the right height to come in direct contact with that edge, I was happy to have the opportunity to try this foam edge protector.

I really like this product because it is customizable. You can use it on edges or corners and cut it to the length you need. It comes with industrial strength 3M double side tape. This tape is pretty sticky so you shouldn't have any problem in that area. However, I will warn you. When I went to take the foam off, it took some paint along with it. So keep that in mind.

You can see where some of the paint came off
I'm pretty satisfied with this product. It makes my home feel more safe for my little one. I don't have to worry about that sharp edge. If only I had it a few years ago my oldest boy could have avoided that scary and painful incident.

If you are interested in learning more about this product or purchasing some for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $8.49 and that's for a 6.5ft roll like you see in the picture above. It also comes in several other colors such as grey, brown, black, off white, green and pink.

NOUVEAU/ORGANICA Ultra Hydrating Facial Moisturizer


This is a 100% organic and vegan facial moisturizer that I got to try recently.

I have to say that it is definitely different than other moisturizers I've tried. When I got it in the mail and opened it, it was liquid. It states on the jar that because of it's organic nature softening can occur. If that happens then you just place it in the refrigerator for about an hour and it will harden back up.

That is what I did. However, once you place
the product against the warmth of your skin it instantly melts.

I didn't care too much for this product in all honesty at least as a facial moisturizer. I just didn't like how greasy and oily it was. Definitely not something I would want to put on my face. But as far as applying it on other parts of my body like my elbows, they tend to get dry so this moisturizer is great for that. You can even apply it to your heels when they are dry and cracked. I like this product for those purposes better. I feel like this product is more for extremely dry skin.

Since this product is all natural and is gluten-free, soy-free and dairy-free it can be used on those who have sensitive skin.

If you would like to learn more about this product or purchase it for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $24.95.

CSCS Advanced Face Serum


I love my face serums. I have so many different ones from hyaluronic acid to Vitamin C. I love applying them to my skin. I feel that each one has it's own unique benefit.

This one in particular by CSCS contains 20% Vitamin C + E and Ferulic Acid. These ingredients help combat the signs of aging and also help with sun damaged skin.

My most major concern is aging. I have begun to notice a few fine lines here and there so I really want to tackle those first and foremost.


I really like serums like this because it helps moisturize the skin which is a huge when dealing with fine lines and wrinkles. When your skin is hydrated, it appears plump and fills in those fine lines. I notice when I first wake up in the morning is when I really notice my fine lines but once I apply this serum my skin plumps back up and you can't even hardly see the lines anymore.

This serum is a great thing to use at night or in the morning. You can use it underneath your moisturizer. It is very light and has no smell to it. It's gentle and feel so nice on the skin. It absorbs very quickly too. The serum is very thin and watery in consistency, but you can really tell the difference in the look and feel of your skin after applying it. My skin felt so soft and smooth.

I highly recommend this product. It works great for my skin. However, I cannot guarantee you will love it as much as I do. But if you are interested and would like to try it for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $19.99.
