:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I'm not really a hat person, but if it looks cute & is comfy I'll wear it, so I was given the opportunity to try out some of there products that CoverYourHair has sent me. I got to review the Solid beautiful raw silk headbands with tails & The fur neck scarf. my first thought when I had gotten the fur neck scarf I literally didn't even know what it was until my son put it around his head, lol. I had gotten that during the summer-time as well so I couldn't try it out, but I will when it comes winter-time! As for the silk headband it was a little to big for my head so therefore it wouldn't stay on right it would be to loose. I didn't really like it to be honest.


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I would of loved to try the Elegant Shawl it comes in 6 different colors. Black, Purple, Brown, Red, White and Gray.

I was given the opportunity by VivoDerm to send me out some samples what they gave me were Anti-Aging Facial Mask, Intense Moisturizer, Zinc Repairing Cream, Chamomile Body Butter, Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream, Anti-Acne Facial Mask, Toner's, Cocoa Butter Foot Cream for review.


When I first got these little samples they were very cute, but very little which I don't understand why they didn't just give me the full-set of stuff & working with only a little bit of product is hard, so I am not old I am only 26. I gave the Anti-aging facial mask to my mom to try out if she wanted to & the zinc repairing cream as well as the anti-wrinkle eye cream & toner's. My main concern was the Anti-Acne Facial Mask & the Cocoa butter foot cream which smells so good & leaves me feet smell so wonderful the Anti-Acne is still a process for me I don't really see any difference, but who knows I am still using the product.  

Directions of the Anti-Acne Facial Mask:


I was glad this came in a little bit bigger as for the other mini products I got.

WHAT IS ACNE?

What is acne and what causes it? Simply put, when tiny holes on the surface of the skin called pores become clogged, acne occurs. Each pore is an opening to a canal called a follicle, which contains a hair and an oil gland. Normally, the oil glands help keep the skin lubricated and help remove old skin cells. When glands produce too much oil, the pores can become blocked, accumulating dirt, debris, and bacteria. The blockage is called a plug or a comedone. The surface of the plug may be white (whitehead) or dark (blackhead). If it ruptures, the material inside, including oil and bacteria, can spread to the surrounding skin and cause an inflammatory reaction. If the inflammation is deep, the pimples may enlarge to form firm, painful cysts.
Acne commonly appears on the face but may also occur on the shoulders, trunk, arms, legs, and buttocks. Acne is most common in teenagers. In fact, three out of four teenagers have acne to some extent. This is probably caused by hormonal changes that stimulate oil production. However, acne can occur at any age, even in infants.
Acne tends to run in families and can be triggered by:
  • Hormonal changes (related to menstrual periods)
  • Pregnancy
  • Birth control pills
  • Stress
  • Greasy or oily cosmetic and hair products
  • Certain medications (such as steroids)
  • Overactive oil glands
  • Blockage of the skin pores
  • Activity of normal skin bacteria
  • Inflammation
  • Normal Follicles

I was so excited to try Jake's products they sent me Jake's Original Mild BBQ Sauce & California Chipotle Magic Dry Rub for a review, I am sad that summer has ended because I love the smell of BBQ's during the summer-time. I love trying different BBQ products that are different & unique. Something that leaves your taste buds wonder in a good way. The bbq sauce was thick & coated well. It was sweet on the front end & finished with a fantastic kick of heat & just the right amount of it! The balance of flavor was great. I even like the bbq sauce as a condiment. It has a great smokey quality to it, that you can really taste. I love to use my barbecue sauces on chicken as a dip :) With this versatile sauce it has made making some dinners easier (and tastier).

Nick Chavez

About Nick

As a young boy from Yuma, Arizona, Nick Chavez dreamed of one day having an exciting, glamorous life. Being the second-oldest of seven children, Nick was no stranger to hard work as one of the family’s ranch hands. But it was his skill at grooming the family’s horses and his determination and confidence that led him to grow. Armed with just his scissors (and a fierce sense of style), Nick took his natural talents to the next level by creating hip, trendy hairstyles for his siblings and members of his extended family.
After honing his talents on his now very receptive relatives, Nick made the jump to California,. . . read more click here please
::: I recently received 4 products from Nick Chavez :::
When I first tried the Shampoo & Conditioner it sorta made my hair like dry & I just didn't feel like I really liked it when I had gotten out of the shower & combed my hair & it just felt weird to me like most other shampoo's & conditioner's don't leave your hair feeling that weird dry feeling my opinion anyways. As for the styling cream that worked wonders on my hair I would use a little bit as my hair was wet & scrunched it as I always do on all my other styling products. For the Hairspray I LOVED IT it smells so good I would have to say that I liked that the best out of the 4 products I received from Nick Chavez :)

JUMPSTART


Active people looking for added endurance and increased energy, alertness, focus, improved mood, and enhanced immunity, will find it all in this natural and safe herbal energy pill to boost physical and mental performance. JUMPSTART provides a powerful boost of energy, mood elevation and general health enhancementwithout the unwanted side effects found with most stimulants. Its ingredients actually increase energy, enhance immune function, improve cellular function, and fortify the body without jolting your system with high doses of caffeine and synephrine like other supplements. It is a healthy boost to body, mind and spirit, and is a powerful stress reducer. We guarantee you'll love it and your body will thank you.



JUMPSTART Produces the Following Effects:

Increased energy boost in correct balance with your body
Superior mental clarity and sharpness of focus
Enhanced stamina and performance
Sense of health and well-being
Waves of pleasure, raised disposition
Feelings of confidence & positivity
Reduced stress levels
Increased ATP production
Stimulates carbohydrate conversion into energy
Increases oxygen utilization
Supports adrenal function (most important.)



MY THOUGHTS:

(me & my friends tried out the Jumpstart pill & we each took 1 pill before we even ate anything & it really didn't do anything to us, so than we took another as it says to take 2 pills but we didn't all take it together at once at one time we took one in the morning/dinner time, and we did this for the next week or so & it didn't seem to do anything really to us so therefore I think these kinda pills are just all "talk" hopefully other people feel different about the product as many other people have different opinions.)



    The unique JUMPSTART effect:
NOTE: If you're buying a stimulant or herbal energy supplement purely on price, please consider that JUMPSTART is much more than just an energy booster or caffeine pill -- it contains potent extracted and concentrated pharmaceutical-grade ingredients for mood modification along with stimulants, vitamins, adaptogens and thermogenics that combine to powerfully enhance one another in an intelligent anf health-enhancing way.
Here's a sad truth: most energy pills are not good for you and, are simply no healthy way to get energized.

This formula was scientifically precision-engineered to produce optimum resultswithout harming the body -- it is NOT simply a collection of pedestrian stimulating herbs and vitamins like most herbal energy products. It is NOT just another cheap happy pill or mood pill! This is an expensive-to-produce formula utilizing the highest grade of extracts and ingredients, but that's what it takes to really work well. You'll notice the difference as soon as you take it and your energy and spirits start to soar and that trademark JUMPSTART smile speads over you. This powerful stimulating health formula is not a single blast of energy from one form of caffeine or another, but an intelligent energy and mood balancing synergy that maximizes your metabolism & CNS while normalizing your adrenal system and boosting general health and focus. (Please note that for some users, it may take an adjustment period to have its full range of effects - especially if you are a regular caffeine or stimulant user. Take it alone over at least a week and see how it makes the difference.)
For most people, just one dose (two capsules) and you'll feel fully charged and ready to be your best. Most importantly, your body will feel good without the jittery feeling so common in energy supplements and stimulants. This is a perfect case where the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts - or ingredients. Give your body an intelligent lift that won't do more harm than good.

(from website)




I was given the opportunity to review Manna Organics from there company they sent me 4 different kinds of breads/lofts. I have to admit I wasn't a fan of them. They seemed to be different than a lot of different brand breads/lofts. I guess I just didn't like the texture as if the breads were really "hard" I guess that is how its made, but I just didn't like this sort of product at all. That is just my opinion.

The flavors I was given were:




* Fruit & Nut


The Whole Rye wasn't that bad, but just not a fan of the products. I will probably give some to my mom mom & my mom that would maybe try it & like it. Who knows!!!!
