How could you not love a glowstick party?




How could you not love a #glowstick party? Well thats what my kids and I had with these. They invited some friends over and once the glowsticks came out so did the squeals! They spent an hour shaping and configuring their ideas. Changing and rearranging. Adding and maneuvering. And when they were done they put on a show! It was amazing to watch their minds work knowing in the dark thing would look different. I even got in on the fun making braided bracelets. I suggest every adult who needs to find their inner child get these.

Live Infinitely Infusion Water Bottle Review



I'm not a big water drinker but recently I was given the opportunity to review the Live Infinitely Water Bottle. Living in the heart of strawberry country it was a natural choice for my first use. I chopped them and dusted them with sugar, like my great granny always did, and stuck it in the fridge over night.

Like usual I took the kids to the park after school. They brought their juice and I brought my bottle. It was a little different but sweet with strawberries! The kids even wanted some. I think next time I will try oranges and lemons, or maybe some pineapples. Its definitely something I'm going to add to my park  routine.

Product Testing with Radha Beauty

Professional Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum




















Radha Beauty has a 100% pure & natural oils line and a natural skincare line. They combine high performance with natural and healthy ingredients and partner with earth-loving, women-empowering organizations, use Eco-friendly packaging, and they never stop striving to improve their products and our impact on the world. Radha Beauty embellishes beauty with the earth’s most natural oils and a natural skin care line.

The Skin Clearing & Anti Aging Serum is for face, wrinkles, acne & blemished skin with Vitamin C Serum 20%, Retinol 2.5%, Salicylic Acid 2%, Hyaluronic Acid, Rosehip and Lavender Oil.

I'm only 35 and never considered needing an age-defying product. But for the last week I have been using the Radha Skin Clearing Serum along with my normal skin care routine which includes a derma roller. Until now I have considered my current products harsh, assuming they are for the most benefit. With my sometimes sensitive skin my face is often left looking red and flaky. The serum does not contain fillers or harmful fragrances, dyes or parabens which is why I love it. 

Since adding this additional step my face hasn't felt as tight and I've noticed a softness I hadn't in years. I can only imagine the difference moving forward. And the best part is that the serum is cruelty free and manufactured in a State of the Art FDA Approved facility in the US!

I highly recommend you head over and get some to include in your routine:

Product Testing with #Puruskin


Puruskin 3 In 1 Interchangeable Derma Roller Kit


I have been testing the #Puruskin Derma Roller Total Body Kit. It comes with three attachments designed to cover a specific area of the body. It is designed to exfoliate, stimulate and increase skin absorption.

I have to admit the needles are very prickly. But after a few days you become used to feeling. I experienced a lot of redness in the beginning as my face was adjusting to the needles. I opted to use Argon oil as a base for derma roller. Over the last week I have noticed my acne scars I've had for years are fading and my skin looks fresher. I intend to continue using my derma roller on other areas of my body such as stretch marks and childhood scars.

If you are interested in changing the appearance of your skin go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b00ulz5mam or visit the website http://puruskin.com

Product Testing with Cassani


NEWLY DESIGNED! Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror A Perfect Shave Everytime


I recently tested the #Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror. It has Anti-Fog Nanotechnology to repel fog and its shape is contoured to the face. It comes with a stainless steel wall mount to hang the mirror. After preparing my shower wall surface it only took me a minute to install. Included is also a similar mount to store your razor.

Although this mirror is geared towards facial shaving and the benefits of doing so in the shower I found it perfect for my in shower facial routine. With most mirrors you have to constantly wipe and move to see your reflection and are left with that ring of mascara or remnants of a mud mask. I tend to shower in very hot water causing steam which leads to the fog on mirrors. With the Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror I was able to see my face in its entirety from beginning to end of my shower. I even started my shower before I was ready to see if it would fog up before I got in. It definitely lived up to its name.

Montagne Jeunnesse Manuka Honey Peel Off Mask

#MJPeelOffs

I have very sensitive skin and after a patch test on my hand without reaction I applied the mask to my face.


I  was immediately taken aback by the smell. And don't let the name honey fool you. Although it is liquidy it did not run like honey. When I kill the mask off I'm using noticed a difference in the appearance of my skin it looked very freshed, clean and smooth. My pores were opened and it felt good.

Unfortunately when I woke up the next morning I noticed a lot of redness and irritation on my face. As much as I enjoyed the project and its results due to the sensitivity of my skin unfortunately this is not a product I can use often.

Pure & Essential Minerals™

Deep Sea Mud Mask

The minerals found in Dead Sea mud mask have proven beautifying benefits and also have therapeutic effects. Since it is a natural skin care product, Dead Sea mud mask is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. I have a very sensitive skin I was not bothered at by this product.

There are three benefits of the dead sea mud mask:
1~Removes Dead Skin Cells~the natural silica found in the black mud hardens on the skin once you apply the mask. This step allows the mask to extract toxins and impurities located deep in the skin layers, and also to attach to dead skin cells. After washing it all off the result is clear looking skin, with clean pores and even skin tone. 
2~Helps with Acne~thanks to its therapeutic effect, this mask is a real life saver if you suffer from acne, black heads and breakouts. Pure & Essential Minerals Dead Sea Mud Mask contains natural minerals like magnesium, calcium, sulphur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc and potassium, which are known to treat, detoxify, and cleanse the skin.
3~Stimulates Circulation~when blood circulation is poor it leads to an uneven skin tone, patches on the skin, and may even cause wrinkles. By applying a weekly facial mud mask you can dramatically increase blood flow to your skin cells and achieve a healthier and plumper looking skin.

I am absolutely in love with this product. I did a skin test on my hand and immediately noticed a difference so it's no surprise when I applied it to my face all the qualities listed above let their colors shine bright through the mud. having sensitive skin there's not much I can do in the area when it comes to treating my face however after 7 days I have noticed a difference in my skin tone and texture and haven't had the first irritation. I suggest you run and get yours today so you can enjoy all the benefits of the Deep Sea mud has to offer.

Ibotta ~ Better than coupons

In my quest to save money I use all resources available.I watch the ads, I clip the coupons and most importantly I use rebates apps. My favorite is Ibotta in addition to sales and coupons I can get rebates on everyday shopping trips from something as simple to a loaf of bread all the way to making an electronic purchase online. Ibotta is my favorite because it adds new offers frequently. 

It's so simple to use. You find rebates you want, complete a simple task, purchase the item, scan receipt and money is added to your account. Once you have reached $10 you can cash out in many ways. You can transfer directly to your bank account, a PayPal account or purchase gift cards. Some offers even have a bonus for purchasing it more than once during multiple trips or a series of items from that brand which also includes a monetary rebate. 

In addition to getting rebates for everyday purchases and bonus offers every month they have a teamwork bonus. When linked to Facebook you can add additional people to your team. When your team spends a certain dollar amount as a whole offets are unlocked. Once you reach a certain dollar amount as an individual along with the team work there is another bonus. 

Since starting this app last November I have made $175 which really does make this app better coupons.

#RefreshVoxBox Unboxing

I finally had an opportunity to open and go through my #RefreshVoxBoxbox #Influenster Inside were:

1~Beanitos Chips Nacho Cheese & Restaurant Style~They are made from beans so they are naturally full of fiber and protein. The Nacho Cheese tasted like you would expect any chip of that flavor to be. So they really are #AllThatInABagOfChips

2~Covergirl #UltraSmooth Foundation~This foundation is designed to minimize the look flaws and fine facial hair and comes with an applicator design to achieve that look. I, however, found the process a little odd. When the applicator runs low of foundation because of its rubber like materials it rubs the face in an uncomfortable way. The foundation itself is average in performance. I did not notice the difference from my normal brand.

3~Montagne Jeunnesse Manuka Honey Peel Off Mask~The mask is designed to naturally plan your pores. I myself personally have sensitive skin so I did a test area without issue. The mask was very easy to apply and just as easy to peel off. Unfortunately the next morning I noticed a lot of redness mutation on my face.

4~Listerine© Pocketpaks©~These thin strips are placed in the mouth and give a fresh breath feeling on the go when you can't brush.

5~L'Occitane Shea Butter Light Comfort Cream~A product of France the Shea Butter Cream is made to wear daily to keep your skin soft. I don't normally use creams like this because of the heavy feeling but I was impressed.

6~Orgain© Certified Organic Nutritional Shakes~Created by a cancer patient looking to create a better diet full of organic nutrients and flavor.

7~Dentek Fun Flossers & Comfort Clean Floss Picks~My kids were actually willing to floss when seeing the kid friendly flossers. After a while I did have to take them back and explain they weren't toys though. The floss picks and my not so straight teeth didn't get along. going down between and flossing was easy. The hard part was wiggling it back out.

8~Skinnygirl Tasty Nutrition Bars~Indulgence is finally a good thing. Feel guilty if you haven't tried one.

Product Testing with Dove


Dove Clear Tone Skin Renew Dry Spray Antiperspirant



This was my first time trying an aerosol deodorant from Dove. I am picky on scent followed by endurance when it comes to this type of product. However, I couldn't get past the scent of this spray in order to test its abilities. I was able to gift it to my mother in law who usually can not afford name brand products and she loved it. She works outside all day in the hot Florida sun and said she never felt like she needed more deodorant.

After posting my review Dove did comment for me to reach out to them.

Product Testing with BzzAgent

Charmin Basic 


 As a member of BzzAgent I get to test products for free. I was recently given the opportunity to test Charmin Basic.

Now my husband has always been a fan of a different brand and questioned why I had not purchased our normal rolls. I told him give it a try and we'll go from there. A put a roll in my children's bathroom and mind you they go through a roll fast!

After the first week I noticed both bathrooms were still good on supply and I also realized we were getting just as clean with less usuage. 

My mother in law was so impressed she asked if I had an extra roll.

When it was time to buy more I purchased our normal roll. Which now seems like a waste to purchase given its thin 2 ply rolls. My husband wanted to know where the other stuff was because he liked it better.

Needless to say, given quality, performance and the ability to last longer our family is switching brands!

Coupon Obsessions

MY COUPON BINDER IS MY FRIENEMY

My current obsession is my coupon binder. I have decided it is the best option for me however determining the layout and filing method taunts me. I don't store hop so I organized my coupons according to my shopping pattern in my frequented store, Wal-Mart. However, I still find myself flipping and flopping back and forth through tabs which never seem visible when the pages are laying flat.

I don't have a printer so I clip my usual 10 inserts a week. It works for me. Aside from inserts I get coupons from samples I request via a list of places I picked up on while I worked for the Post Office, peelies and websites I've found along the way. I will share my favorite later.

Hoarding is not my strong suit even though I tend to be a pack rat. That's why I limit the amount of inserts I get. I don't do large hauls but do get a rush from my accidental hauls.
