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.

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.

WhiteDerm Resurface Enzyme Fading Mask

I love face masks! I used to do them a lot more when I was a teenager. It seemed to be the "thing" at that time especially the ones that peel. As I got older, I stopped doing them so much.

I decided to give this one a try. It's an enzyme fading mask by Mediderm. You can peel it or wash it off. I like to peel it because I feel like it helps pull all that gunk out of your pores as well as lift away any dead skin that you have.




Product Details: 

• Removes blackheads and whiteheads naturally
• Unclogs, minimizes and reduces pores for a more even skin tone
• Peel away pigmentation problems, like dark spots, melasma, freckles and blemishes
• Safe for all skin types
• Paraben-free

I am very impressed with this facial mask. The overall experience was really nice. What I did was steam my face for about 10 minutes. This helps open up the pores. I figured it would help pull my blackheads out a lot better. After steaming my face, I dried it and then applied the mask. It is clear and very very thick! It feels like your putting honey or glue on your face. I put just a nice thin layer over my problems areas mostly which are my forehead, nose and chin. Avoid getting it near your eyes and of course your hair. It took probably 15-20 minutes to completely dry and then I started peeling from my forehead down.

The peeling process is the best part. I feel like I'm peeling my old skin to reveal new fresh skin underneath. (I'm weird lol) It definietly helped my skin look more fresh and less dull. It also made it really smooth! It did help some with the blackheads but not as much as I had hoped. Blackheads are so stubborn! But still yet, I'm really pleased with the results I got. I will definitely be using this again.



If you would like to learn more about this product or purchase it for yourself you can find it on Amazon. You can also visit the company website here to see all the other products they have to offer.

Keeva Tea Tree Oil Acne Treatment Cream

If you suffer from acne and blemishes your going to want to check this product out. It is tea tree oil acne treatment cream by Keeva.

According to the Keeva website, due to it's high potency and purity, Keeva provides a unique combination of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. These disinfecting and soothing properties, unlike other acne treatments, will not strip the skin of its natural oils and cause further damage. Used regularly, Keeva will quickly and safely diminish and eliminate stubborn pimples, persistent zits, unsightly blemishes, and more.

I have been using this product for a few weeks now and I am really surprised with the results I have gotten. I don't really get a lot of acne, just maybe a mild break out once a month. But one thing I do suffer from is oily skin, large pores and black heads.

This cream is highly effective at least for me with keeping my pores cleared out making them appear smaller. I've also noticed less oil since using it. The cream is thick and a little goes a long way when applying it. You can use it for just a spot treatment or use it all over your face at least that's what I've been doing. Depends on what works for you. I will say the cream does have a bit of a smell, kind of like menthol or icy hot. It makes your skin tingle and eyes burn a bit but not too terribly bad. The cooling sensation on the face actually feels nice. However, if you decide to apply it before your makeup, just be sure to wait a few minutes because the cream kind of makes your sweat. But once it's absorbed, everything is back to normal.

I used this product every day for about a two weeks and I noticed a huge difference in the look and feel of my skin. I noticed less black heads and pimples and my face felt really smooth.

Once I got out of the habit of using it, my face went back to being nasty. Oily, pores full of black heads. So I can definitely say that this product made a huge difference for me. I love it!

If you would like to learn more about it or purchase it for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $25.00. I highly recommend, however I cannot guarantee that this product will work for everyone.

Beautiful Hand Painted Wine Glasses by Valentina Paris

Being an occasional wine drinker, I was excited to have the opportunity to try out this hand painted wine glass set by Valentina Paris. For the longest I never had a proper wine glass. I would always just use a any old glass I had in my cupboard. But having a beautiful wine glass really ups the experience.

I was taken a back at first when I opened up my package. These wine glasses are HUGE. I honestly had never seen any that big before. But they are absolutley beautiful. Each wine glass is designed in Paris and each one is mouth blown and hand painted. Each glass is unique in design.

When my package arrived, one of the glasses was broke. I messaged the company and they were super nice about it and has guaranteed me a new set once they get a new shipment in. I love a company that is willing to work with you to make sure your happy!



The only problem I had with these wine glasses is that since they are so big they wouldn't fit in any of my cabinets. I would have to buy me a wine glass rack that would hook up underneath the cabinet. That was the only drawback but easy to fix.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with this wine glass set. I love the design and the shape. They are beautiful.

If you are interested in purchasing a set or two for yourself or as a gift you can find them on Amazon.

Vitamin C+E Serum by Complete Skin Solutions

#VitaminCEFerulicWithHyaluronicAcid

I have reviewed quite a few different Vitamin C serums over the past year or so. Most I've loved, however sometimes you come across one that is just not your favorite. I have to say, this is one of them.

Although this product contains many wonderful ingredients that are so great for your skin, how it sits on the skin is a big deal in my opinion.

This serum was sticky and slightly oily. The sticky feeling lingers on the hands after application as well as on the face.


I thought that after sitting on the skin it would absorb but the sticky feeling was still there. I did not like that at all! I want to be able to apply a serum and go on about my day with no worries. It's kind of hard to do that when your eye lid is sticking and catching when you blink. Not a comfortable feeling at all.

Product Description:

Applying non-prescription Vitamin C to your skin causes up to a 60% reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

It claims to do so much for your skin and I'm sure it would if you could stand to use it consistently. But everyone is different. Even though I did not care for this particular serum due to how it applies to the skin doesn't mean someone else might find it lovely.

If you are interested in trying this product out for yourself you can find it on Amazon for $21.90. It has many great reviews so this product does work for most people it seems. It's worth a try.
