100% Pure Cosmetics Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


100% Pure
100% Pure cosmetics are unlike any other cosmetic brand – while other cosmetics are colored with either synthetic dyes (FD&C colors) or minerals, only 100% Pure cosmetics are colored from pure fruit and vegetable pigments.Fruit and vegetable pigments are what makes strawberries red, blueberry skin blue and concord grape skin purple . . . to read more about 100% Pure click here 


I love all the three products I have chose from 100% Pure especially the shimmery strawberry lip & cheek tint and I love that it's 100% natural, 100% vegetarian, gluten free I would only use this as a cheek shimmer for my face here is what the color looks like . . .

I love the pink color tone to it and I will use it lightly on my face near my cheekbone. It also glides on easily.

 I really love the Tinted Moisturizer that I chose in Peach Bisque it blends well with my skin color and I love that it's SPF 20 cause it can protect my skin against the sun's harmful UVA (ultra violet aging) and UVB (ultra violet burning) rays while antioxidants protect your skin. I am gonna bring this with my on my cruise to the Bahamas so I don't get baked out there. 

You can really tell a difference and I love that it has a tan complexion too. When applying on your face - Dot around face, use fingers to blend outwards really working it into the skin. Or use a brush to buff it all around face. Layer for more coverage. I recommend using your fingers and than I have a sponge for cover up.

Benefits for using their Lemon Body Wash - 
  • 100% natural, 100% vegan, gluten free
  • richly foaming formula softens, hydrates, and pampers
  • formulated without detergents, chemical preservatives, artificial fragrances or any other ingredients that can strip or dehydrate your delicate skin
I love trying all sorts of "New" Body Washes some are really great & some aren't so good, but this one is amazing and leaves my skin feeling smooth & refreshed and I love the scent!

Simple Glow Candle Co. Review

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!



Originally founded in 2003, Simple Glow soy candles were our Aunt Suzanne's solution for budget-friendly Christmas presents.  The strong positive response that Suzanne received from friends and family prompted her to make a small batch of candles to sell at a local show . . . to read more about Simple Glow Candle Co click here 

 Simple Glow Candle Co. was generous enough to let me review two candles of choice to review on my blog. I chose Lemon Pucker & Mountain Lake.

I know why I chose Mountain Lake because as kids we went on a lot of family vacations so it just brings back good memories of the lakes and all the great adventures we went on as a family. I'm not to thrilled about the smell of Mountain Lake, but it does smell like mixture of in my view in smells like flowers/laundry soap to me. In Simple Glow Candle website it smells like (smell of wild flowers and fresh spring water fill your home like a refreshing breeze). I will give this one to my pop-pop he loves candles he can put this one in his room. On that note. I love my pick of Lemon Pucker it smells without the doubt wonderful and refreshing. I love lemon scent no matter what, and I will be putting this on my night stand so I can smell the beautifully lemons. Did I also mention that these are Soy candles too.


Other great scents that Simple Glow Candle has to offer maybe you'll fall in love with one like I did (:

Digipals Review

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


I was sent two Digipals to review on my blog. I got a Monkey & Turtle. These are pretty cool they are your very own Cuddle & Clean your own Device. My son has a phone from when we upgraded & we kept it so he plays on WiFi, but unfortunately his didn't fit in the digipals but he still has fun with it and cleans off the smudges once in awhile with his Digipal.

My bad he actually wanted to fit his 3D DS in here, lol.

He still likes his Digipal and cleans his own DS. You can store other belongings in here as well like spare change a few dollars, earphones, small iPods, etc. The looks of these though I don't think teens would carry around only children ages 4-9 yrs of age in my opinion.

Mother's Therapy Organics Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


When I received some products from Mother's Therapy Organics I was really happy to get to try out their products. I've never heard of this company before & I love trying out all different hand sanitizers for myself & my employees too. I got 2 small bottles of hand sanitizers (cucumber melon), 1 4fl oz of Hand Sanitizer (Skin Revitalizing, and Hand Lotion (cucumber melon). I really love the smell of the cucumber melon it smells really good & it's not really a strong scent which is perfect. 

I put a small dime size amount on my hand and massaged it through my hands. It felt really good & smooth no sticky residue like other hand sanitizers. I really enjoyed using this product. I can't wait to bring some with me on my cruise on Feb. 1st although I will bring the other small bottle that wasn't opened yet. I can't wait for my employees to try some too we are actually out of it at our register so I will put the big one there for now (:

 If you are anything like me I LOVE personalized gifts! With that being said I got to review a Personalized girls cowgirl buckaroo raglan T-shirt from Zoey's Attic. I was thrilled. My one friend was pregnant at the time she already had her little girl, and she is a true cowgirl and when I saw this for her I knew she would flip about this & boy did she. I wish I would of captured the excitement on her face when she opened this as a gift. Made me really happy.

The onsie I personalized for my friend Megan for her baby girl Dakota Faith.

Zoey's attic was also generous to send me a Pink Bear pacifier by Wubbanub to review as well. I love it it's pink what more can a girl ask for (:

Dakota Faith absolutely loves her new wubbanub pacifier. I can't wait til she gets older and can carry it around like a little stuffed animal. Although I couldn't get a picture of the onsie just yet until she fits into it I will have my friend snap a picture of her wearing it (:

Zoey's attic is a great website & I was very pleased with everything they have quite a collection and more, and I am going to refer my one friend Shannon to this website because she is having a boy and she wants some personalized things for her son!

KMN Home Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


KMN Home - Life Made Better
Although the KMN brand is relatively new, raising our families has not been the only thing keeping us busy these past few years. It all started in 2005 with a couple of friends, who have known each other since Mrs. Beattie's 4th grade class, getting together . . . to read more about KMN Home click here

For my review I picked out these two great products from KMN Home to review on my blog. I picked out the Harmony Trillium Freedom Bag & Microfiber Kitchen Magnetic Towel. I wanted to go with the Magnetic Towel because we are living at my pop-pops house and every time he goes and grabs a towel an puts it through the door handle of the fridge it always ends up on the kitchen floor so it's a pain in the butt sometimes always bending over & picking it up especially for my pops who is getting older and his back tends to hurt. 


What I like about this magnetic towel is that it's super soft & it has a magnetic at the corner where the clear triangle spot is. Also it soaks up 4x its weight in water.

 My pop-pop loves new gadgets I get to review & this is one of them especially for in the kitchen where we spend most of our times cooking. I simply go the Freedom Bag to store grocery's in as well. I like to recycle & not waste so many plastic bags.

Big Grips Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


When I came across Big Grips I just had to write them for a review.  I chose the Big Grips Slim for iPad 2/3/4 for my mothers iPad2. I've never seen anything like this before it is truly an amazing product these Big Grips they are amazing, and my mom loves it. It makes her iPad2 look more big and fashionable at the same time. Although we did have a little trouble getting in on ourselves. I had to ask my step dad for some help in that department. He managed to get it on so hopefully my mom won't be taken it off for quite sometime other than to get it fixed she has a cracked screen but it isn't that bad.

We love hot "thick" the Big Grips are so if you ever did happen to drop your iPad on the ground it wouldn't break nor shatter because well look at the back it is safe & rubbery.

CoverMate Food Covers Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!

The Quick and Easy way to save food!

I was really excited to get my CoverMate in the mail to review on my blog. I have never heard of this company before & I was excited to try it because wrapping your leftovers in Foil or Plastic wrap can get annoying at times especially when you can't find lids to your containers. I was sent a package with 1 Small which is labeled by blue, 4 Mediums which is labeled green & 3 Large which is labeled Red.

This is a Large CoverMate which is really stretchy & big I would recommend using this for your fruit or veggie platter containers that you have at parties this would be great for it!

The small CoverMate I simply use for leftover pasta sauce or pizza sauce I put it right around the can and it's good to go in the fridge for the next day use. Very convenient.

 This is what I mean by one of those containers that you have no lid for. Simply cover one of your CoverMate colors on top of the container & your good to go. I think these are so much easier you could possibly re use them two or three times if you wanted to just make sure to clean them after each use if it tends to get dirty, etc.

Want to try CoverMate simply print out a coupon and take it to your local Wal-Mart store and get .50 cents off , CLICK HERE

Shaking Behind the Microphone, Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking Review + Giveaway


Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. 


 
 I got to review this book from Tomoson called Shaking Behind the Microphone, Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking. I don't know about you but I remember in Middle School all the way up to High School. I would HATE getting up in front of my class and doing a project or book report, etc. I don't know why because some students in their were my friends, but I just had this fear of doing any presentations in school, and I would not even do the assignment because I didn't want to stand in front of the class. For some of us that is really hard on us especially so young & in school some students are really comfortable while most aren't and sadly it's one of me too. I still don't like doing it til this day I mean I was casually okay with it when I was in a institute for web design because something I liked to do & it wasn't a big class. Here is a little bit about the book. I've been super busy and unable to read it but I will defiently take this along on my cruise read it on the airplane keep me occupied other than on my phone.

 
"If you suffer from the fear of public speaking, you will find hope and encouragement in Shaking Behind the Microphone, Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking." Dan Nainan, professional comedian, and author of The Best Book on How to Become a Full-Time Stand-up Comedian

Do you suffer from the fear of public speaking? You are not alone. In the book, Shaking Behind the Microphone: Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking, Jill Vanderwood shares her story of being terrified to speak in public. She now speaks to groups and teaches workshops without fear. You will read about others who struggle with this common fear; those who had a choice to either learn public speaking or risk losing their job. Learn tips from experts; read about kids who learned public speaking at an early age, and stories from performers who tell others how to perform without fear. You will also acquire untraditional solutions for overcoming fear and anxiety. Taking steps toward overcoming the fear of public speaking will put you on the road to living a better life.

 
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Studio Gear Review

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


I was sent a cosmetic clear bag with a Impactfull Pro T.L.S Mascara & Prime Objective Skin Perfecting Face Primer for my review from Studio Gear. Although I wanted to review something different than this they offer this for every blogger. Anyways . . . I don't usually use mascara buy my friend does so I gave that to her and she said that she loves it any new mascara is worth a try for her and she ended up throwing almost all of her other mascaras away for this one which is great news!

 She also loves that it isn't to clumpy most mascaras she owned were clumpy!

Now the Face Primer I usually don't add to much of make up on myself but I wanted to give this one a try because I wanted my face to feel more bright than usual. I also was curious to what my skin would feel like after using this product. It not only feels smooth but it does give off a really nice complexion too. So here is a picture.... I do put the face primer on before I put on my other make up.


I think my face looks about brightened up! I love make up. I think I own quite a few collections of everything. I like to try out different stuff, but mascara isn't my favorite I would say that is the most least favorite of mine. I love lip gloss & foundation & bronzer.

I was one of the many bloggers from Tomoson to be picked to do a review for Mia Mariu's retailed value $42 of a full size product. I picked out one of their men's products called Caoba. I simply got this for my husband because he doesn't quite have a collection of cologne & I want him too because I am tired of him using the Axe stuff from Wal-Mart not saying it's a bad thing but I want him to use quite a few collections from different places. For Christmas I got him Michael Jordan small bottle & he lost it already so now he has this great Caoba for men, and quote "he said he loved it" (:

“sophisticated, passionate, romantic....real sexy confidence”

This rugged, refreshing, strong and sensual fragrance has top notes of citron tonic, violet leaf, dew grass; middle notes are red saffron, crushed nutmeg and fresh vetiver; base notes are creamy sandalwood, vanilla absolute and vintage suede. Caoba’s modern smooth scent creates mystery and sexy confidence.

 He's one happy man that he got his own cologne from Mia Mariu's...
