Natural Zest 5-HTP - Review

Natural Zest 5-HTP

Wouldn't it be amazing if we woke up one day to a natural dietary supplement that treats sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, migraines, tension headaches, fibromyalgia, PMS, ADHD and several other medical conditions?  What if I told you that supplement already exists and it is called 5-HTP?


I was recently presented with the opportunity to review Natural Zest 5-HTP.  I am always very cautious about what types of medications and supplements that I take.  I take a few medications daily so I always check for interactions.  I also have frequent headaches that are often triggered by medications. I am a bit of a nerd in a way.  I like to research and I like to know the way things work.  Before I take any type of medication or supplement I always do my homework. 

Prior to this review offer I was unaware of 5-HTP.  I will admit that I have actually learned a lot since starting this adventure.  I started this thinking it was going to be a fun little hobby and it has turned into a lot of work but I am really enjoying the opportunity to learn about new things and the chance to share them with my readers. 

5-HTP works by increasing the production of serotonin in the brain and central nervous system.  Serotonin affects so much in our bodies.  It is believed that serotonin plays an important role in depression, insomnia, obesity, mood disorders and countless other conditions.  Given this information you can see why 5-HTP is an excellent natural and inexpensive option for people suffering from these and many other conditions.

Several trials have found that daily used of 5-HTP can improve symptoms of depression.  Additional studies have shown that 5-HTP appears to improve symptoms of fibromyalgia including pain severity, morning stiffness and sleeplessness. (WebMD)

 After researching 5-HTP I was very impressed and couldn't wait to try this supplement. I was told by 2 doctors that I have fibromyalgia.  I didn't like that diagnosis so I'm currently with my 3rd doctor.  I have issues with sleeping and by that I mean I don't sleep.  I  have some "mood" issues but that's just the don't sleep cranky  mood. So, as you can tell I am the poster child for this supplement :)

Once the supplement arrived, I began taking them that night.  They are the size of an average capsule.  They don't have a strong smell or taste, it's just an average, normal capsule.  The dosage is 2 capsule daily.  I'm very sensitive to new things so I did 1 capsule for the 1st two days.  I didn't have any type of a reaction to them, that is just something that I always do when I start any kind of new medication because I know how I sometimes react.  The first 2 days was fairly normal for me.  On day 3 I started taking 2 daily.  I did notice that I had more energy throughout the day.  I wasn't hyper or anything.  I just felt good.  I didn't even really notice it until the end of the day when I looked up and noticed I had cleaned more than usual.  That night I laid down and went to sleep around midnight.  Most people would say that's not so great but it's usually around 2-4 before I manage to get to sleep. 

It's only gotten better since then.  I haven't had a burst of energy like you get from a diet pill. I haven't crashed at the end of the day.  I just feel good.  These supplements really are the real deal.  I sleep better than I have in years.  I am amazed at the difference I felt after only just a few days.  The change was drastic.  I didn't have to wait weeks to see results.

An Open Letter To Gillian Relf

I have read your story.  I have read it over and over and I can't seem to wrap my head around it.  Personally, I could never abort a baby..sick or not, that is not something I could do.  How is their life of any less value than that of a healthy child? Why is it acceptable to end the life of a sick unborn child but not of a sick born child, teen or adult? In my opinion it's the exact same thing. 

I am a special needs mother.  My days aren't easy. I have more stress now than I ever have.  Instead of having a doctor we now have specialists.  We have therapies. We have tests. We have evaluations.  We have prescriptions.  We have rare.  We have high risk.  We have unusual.  We have delays.  We have disabled.  We have labels and judgment and opinions and advice.  We have good days and bad days.  We have schedules and routines. 

Your nice little article that was suppose to be an honest, heartfelt expression of how difficult your life has been was nothing more than a demonstration of your lack of motivation, determination and desire to put forth the effort and work necessary to change your life.  YOU are the reason that your life has been hard.  YOU are the reason that your marriage has struggled.  YOU are the reason that you have spent years being unhappy.  You are laying blame on your child for something that YOU created. 

No one promised us that life would be perfect or easy.  No one said that you would live comfortably in a nice house with a new car and have a warm meal every night.  No one promised you a healthy child that would graduate with honors and a scholarship to NYU to only later become the POTUS.  No one promised you anything! Life happens..sometimes it isn't pretty.  Sometimes it isn't what we want. That's when you put on your big girl panties and handle your shit. You don't sit back and have a pity party and cry about how your life is ruined. 

My life isn't perfect.  I spend hours getting screamed at, kicked and punched.  I watch the same show over and over.  We live by the same routine every single day.  Yes, sometimes it's annoying.  BUT I wouldn't trade her for anything and I sure as hell don't wish I had aborted her.  Every life has meaning and value.  If you would step back and stop being so selfish maybe you would see the value in your son's life.  If you would take the time to get to know your child instead of only seeing his limitations maybe you would understand his importance. 

Your comments are disgusting.  No mother that cares for their child could say that they wish they had aborted them.  No matter what point you are attempting to make or what cause you are trying to fight for your comments are sick.  Your child does not need this type of negativity in his life. If your mother had aborted you maybe your family wouldn't have to deal with the backlash of your ignorant comments.  How would you feel if your mother actually said that?!  We have reached a place where society believes it is acceptable to dispose of those that are not perfect.

Your attitude is the cause of your years of misery.  You alone are responsible for it all.  I live right in the middle of the special needs world and yes, there are days that we struggle, but there are many more good days than bad. It is your decision.  You can sit back and feel sorry for yourself or you can accept your life and make the most of it. Special needs kids are different, they are not less desirable, damaged or unwanted.  I have learned so much from my special needs child.  I'm so sorry that your son wasn't born to a special mother.

I have a cabinet full of creams, lotions, serums and everything else you can think of.  I have tried so many product my skin should have fallen off by now.  In most cases, I open the bottle, use it once, and throw it in a drawer.  I don't break out often.  Most of my breakouts happen when I start using a new product.  My skin is very sensitive to chemicals.  I am also sensitive to smells, most smells result in a migraine for me so I have to be very careful when choosing products.  The Berry Merry line is fragrance and alcohol free which is exactly what a person with my skin type needs. 

My biggest problem is small blackheads and pores on my nose.  They aren't even all that noticeable to anyone except for me and that's only when I am standing about 3 centimeters from the mirror.  I also have a few spots that are a little more pink that the rest of my face and a couple of places that are a little dull looking.  It's probably from all of those teenage tanning bed visits.  I don't have many wrinkles..just a few small ones around my eyes.  I do have some dark bags but that's because of sinus issues and the fact that I never sleep.  I mean who has time to sleep??

I have seen great results by combining the Hyaluronic Acid and Retinol Serum.  All of my problem areas are much less noticeable after only a couple of weeks of use.  I can only imagine the results after a month or 6 weeks of use.  I kinda wish I would have taken some before and after pictures but I'm not one to post makeup-less pix :( Sorry internet world, you will just have to take my word on how amazing these products are. 

Body Merry has their products marked down to some amazing prices right now.  It's a great time to stock up.  If you are interested in purchasing these products you may do so below.  These links go directly to their Amazon listings.

AlphaHealthy Probiotic - Review

AlphaHealthy Probiotic
$29.97 Amazon

*This post contains sponsored content*

Have you ever experienced a weak immune system, lack of energy or digestive issues? Do you want just a little jump in your immune system with flu season approaching?  You may benefit from taking a probiotic. 

The World Health Organization's definition of probiotic is  "live micro-organisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host".

Probiotics are popular right now.  There is considerable research surrounding them.  Here are some of the research findings, according to Wiki:

A 2013 meta-analysis of 25 trials found that probiotic supplementation in pregnancy and early life might help with atopic sensitivity in infants.
Some probiotics have been shown in preliminary research to possibly treat various forms of gastroenteritis.
Some of the best evidence in support of probiotic health benefits is in the treatment of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD).
Several clinical studies provide evidence for the potential of probiotics to lower the risk of NEC and mortality in premature infants. One meta-analysis indicated that probiotics reduce all-cause mortality and risk of having NEC by more than 50% compared with controls.
In 2003, researchers found that a combination of L rhamnosus 19070-2 and L reuteri DSM 122460 was beneficial in the management of Atopic Dermatitis.
In 2013, researchers found that administration of hydrogen peroxide producing strains, such as L. acidophilus and L. rhamnosus, were able to normalize vaginal pH and re-balance vaginal flora, preventing and alleviating bacterial vaginosis.

Here are a few words from Alpha Healthy:

★BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM★. With today's modern diet, we are constantly eating foods that promote harmful bacteria overgrowth inside our intestines. This leads to deteriorated bodily functions, sickness and a depleted immune system. AlphaHealthy probiotics make sure you get the good bacteria that will strengthen & replenish your GI tract, revitalize your immune system and promote a healthier you!

★IMPROVE MOOD & ENERGY LEVELS!★ Loss of energy, irritability and mood swings often result from poor mineral, nutrient and vitamin absorption. AlphaHealthy probiotics will Replenish your GI tract so you can absorb proper nutrients, eliminate waste and feel like you're energetic/vibrant self!

★FIX INTESTINAL PROBLEMS★ 100 Million Americans suffer from gut related problems. There are 10x more bacteria living in our gut then cells in our body. If the ratio of bad bacteria vs good bacteria (Probiotics) is high, it can cause serious damage to your health (such as IBS, IBD, Chronic Inflammation etc.) Doctors have thus recommended the replenishment of good bacteria to restore a natural digestive balance. Get yours with AlphaHealthy Probiotics!

★GET & STAY HEALTHY★ Your GI Tract regulates 80% of your immune system. If at any point your GI Tract is out of sync, it could wreak an absolute havoc on your entire body leading to allergies, autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, dementia and more. AlphaHealthy Probiotics will restore benefical bacteria to help regulate hormones, maintain a healthy immune system and control yeast infections/candida overgrowth. Your health is as important to us, as it is to you :)

♥200% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE!♥ AlphaHealthy Probiotics are carefully produced in our GNP Certified Lab without any fillers, inside the USA. This ensures that we maintain an extremely high standard of quality. Also, if at any point you are not satisfied, we offer an unheard of ★200% MONEY BACK★ guarantee (No Questions Asked!).

Probiotics are known to most people as a treatment for digestive issues.  I have seen the commercials a dozen times but I was not aware that probiotics are used to treat this many conditions. I don't have any major digestive issues.  Nothing I would consider seeing a doctor for. I have never considered taking a probiotic or any other digestive medication prior to having the chance to review this product.  I just assumed that reflux and the occasional full/bloated feeling were normal.  After learning about all of the benefits of probiotics I was excited to begin taking them.

After about a week of taking them I did notice that I had less reflux and that my stomach didn't have the full/bloated feeling as often as it had.  I was also feeling a little better. Nothing drastic, just not as tired and I was sleeping a little better.  Since then I have noticed it getting a little better each week. It isn't an instant cure all but you do begin to see results rather fast.  There is also the benefit of a boost to the immune system with flu season right around the corner. 

I am very happy with with the results I have seen from these pills. I feel better, I have an increase of energy and I am even sleeping better. I intend to continue taking them and hope to see even more positive results.  I think that everyone should at least give probiotics a try.

Clean Food Diet - Ebook Review #BloggerBuzz #GiftGuide

Clean Food Diet
$0.00 Amazon

A few months ago my doctor suspected that I have a gluten sensitivity.  I know, we are always at a doctor and we have a million illnesses.  I think there must be something in our water that's trying to kill us. Well, I came home that day fully motivated to become 100% gluten free and to eat only healthy foods.  I had wanted to do that for a while.  I had read tons of articles showing benefits of gluten free for children on the autistic spectrum and our eating habits aren't exactly healthy anyway.  Well, I did it.  I went gluten free.  Alone.  It wasn't fun or easy.  It was 6 weeks of eating cardboard flavored everything.  A loaf of bread that tasted like cardboard cost $7.00.  I wasn't happy.  I lost almost 10 pounds.  Looking back, it was from starvation.  I would rather eat nothing than cardboard.  I ate a lot of chocolate cereal.  It's my favorite and it's naturally gluten free.  I will puke if I see chocolate cereal ever again.  I have decided I am no longer gluten sensitive.  If I were gluten sensitive I would have found something gluten free that tasted descent by now..I haven't so therefore I must be meant to eat gluten.

Now that I am full on gluten again I am back on my journey to finding healthy recipes that taste good.  The boy kid eats too many chicken nuggets and the princess eats way too many hot dogs.  It's hard to find a recipe that's healthy and kid friendly.  It even harder to find a recipe that is healthy, kid friendly and that all 5 of us like.  We are picky people.  Almost everyone has acid reflux. I make a lot of bland food and they are all still popping Prevacid.  It's a challenge to feed these people.

I was offered the chance to review the book Clean Food Diet a few weeks ago and jumped at it.  I was very hopeful that I would find at least a couple of recipes that one or two of us would eat. 

Right at the beginning of the book..drop the coke and pick up a bottle of water.  Gee thanks..I know I drink too much coke but dude it's really good!!  I'm addicted.  I give it up for a while but I always go back.  I feel better when I give it up and go to the gallon of water a day but...it tastes so good with it's brown caffeine goodness.  Yeah, I know..coke has to go.  I'm working on that.  I'm down to 1 cup a day.  Much improvement.  I'm trying to cut back on the sweet drinks with the kids.  I'm actually getting more milk into them but not more water.  Progress is slow but it's there. 

On to the cooking.  Clean cooking means avoiding frying food. Yes! I can't stand frying food!  The smell alone kills me.  It also means reducing salt :( I thought I did ok.  Dinner is normally a baked meat, 2 veggies and a bread.  Not horrible right?  Well, not exactly great it turns out.  I could be doing a lot worse but I have room for much improvement.  Snacks are our biggest issue. I really have to work on making healthier snacks for the kids.

The appetizers section of the cookbook is great for snacks.  I really like the Tomato and Cheese Skewers recipe. The kids actually enjoyed it also.  I think it helped a little that they got to stab their food with a stick lol.  Another yum recipe in the appetizers section is the Crusted Jalapeno Peppers, this is not one that I would have expected to find in a clean eating book.  This book has over 50 recipes with instructions and nutritional information for each listed.  There is a recipe for Strawberry Spinach Salad.  My most picky eater is my 13 year old. She has this horrible face that she instinctively makes at anything that is not chicken strips.  She actually ate the Strawberry Spinach Salad and asked for more.  I almost cried.  Chicken strips are another item that make me want to puke, I am so sick of seeing chicken strips. 

I never expected to find so many recipes in this book that we would enjoy.  It is true that you are what you eat.  You really do feel better when you eat foods that are better for you.  We haven't dumped all of our bad foods just yet but thanks to this book we have found several new healthy recipes that everyone in our family love. 

If you are interested in downloading this book you may do so by clicking here.  This book is currently listed for free on Amazon.  I'm not sure how long it will be listed at this promotional price.  It is definitely a great addition to any recipe collection. Grab it up while it is FREE!

Foxbrim Vitamin C Lotion - Review

Foxbrim Vitamin C Lotion
$17.75 Amazon

*This post contains sponsored content*

I don't like to admit that I use 42 products a night trying to turn back the clock to my fake age.  No one wants to admit that they stare in the mirror pulling on this and tugging on that and wiggling something before hitting the recliner with a tub of ice cream, their laptop and the top 10 plastic surgeon's websites for their area.  I don't exactly need a facelift.  Just a little steam cleaning..maybe some ironing to get out a few wrinkles.  Nothing major, until I come across a photo from 10 years ago..then it's major.

I try to follow the rules.  I use sunscreen every day. I wash my face twice a day, moisturize, exfoliate, use a cream for everything you can imagine.  I can't imagine what I would look like with no creams..probably something off one of those freaky Halloween zombie undead movies that my husband and daughter are constantly watching. 

I started using the Foxbrim Vitamin C Lotion about a month ago. At first, I thought that I was just receiving a moisturizer. I wasn't aware of all of the benefits included in this moisturizer.  This lotion contains Vitamin C, which is used to restore skin.  It contains MSM, Green Tea and Aloe.  This lotion works to sooth and moisturize while it also lightens sunspots, reduces wrinkles and prepares skin to face the harsh world.  It's really a magic bottle of anti-aging creaming hidden inside of a lotion bottle. 

This lotion works great. It leaves my skin feeling very soft and smooth.  It doesn't leave a sticky feeling on my skin and my skin does not have an oily shine by the end of the day.  It dries to the touch almost instantly, yet keeps skin moisturized all day.  Fast drying is great for those morning that I am in a rush and don't have any spare time to wait.  I can apply this and then quickly move on to my make up.  I have noticed that my skin tone is more even since starting this product.  My skin looks fresh and brighter.  It's no longer dull and is not as tired looking.  I also love that this product has no fragrance.  I am very sensitive to fragrances.  The faintest fragrance can result in a migraine.  I was excited to find that this product contains no fragrance, that's not always an easy thing to find for me.  I am very satisfied with this product and the price is very budget friendly.

Low Back Pain Program - Ebook Review

Low Back Pain Program

*This post contains sponsored content*
I have a little more knowledge than I wish I did when it comes to low back pain.  My husband had been through 3 spinal fusions by the age of 25.  He had his first spinal fusion when he was 21.  He picked up a small piece of pvc pipe while he was at work.  It didn't weigh anything.  He just happened to pick up wrong and bulged the disc at L5-S1.  I think the neurosurgeon we were referred to needed some quick cash because there was no physical therapy, no steroid injections..there was a spinal fusion scheduled less than a week later.  3 days after the his first surgery PT was helping him out of bed when he felt a pop  in his back and the worst pain he had ever felt.  The following day was spinal fusion number 2.  They removed everything from the first fusion and started over.  The cage that held the bone graft had broken and the bone graft fragments had scattered.  The pain was from pieces of bone graft on his nerve.  They replaced everything and life went on.  Except it didn't get better.  Over the next 2 years he went from a healthy 21 year old man working on an oil rig to having to walk with a cane because he couldn't put weight on his left leg.  2 years of excruciating pain and pain medications, nerve conduction studies, physical therapy and pain management.  All of that ended when he found his current neurosurgeon.  I won't mention any names of the doctors.  I have nothing nice to say about his initial doctor and only sing praises of his current one.  His initial doctor told us that there was nothing else he could do.  He suggested that he see a psychologist because the pain was psychological.  He told us that he did the surgery, he knew what he was doing and he knew that the surgery was done correctly therefore there was no reason for him to be in this type of pain, if it wasn't psychological then it was nothing more than a low tolerance to pain.  Needless to say I was beyond angry.  That was when we found his current surgeon.  We went to the consult with the xrays, mri's, and nerve conduction studies that his initial doctor had ordered months before.  Within minutes we learned that my husband needed surgery because he had what was called a nonunion.  His bone graft had not healed, his disc had been removed and there was bone on bone in that area.  Once in surgery he found several issues.  The screws holding the rod in place in his spine were crooked and were fracturing his pelvis.  There was also a large piece of bone graft lodged beneath his nerve.  He now has permanent nerve damage because this went untreated for so long.  There isn't any repairing this now. 

I'm sure you can understand why I don't dare grace the door of a doctor's office when my back hurts.  It hurts often and I know exactly why. I have a 2 year old with Sotos Syndrome.  I carry a 2 year old all day that is the size of a 5 year old.  She weighs about 5 pounds less than her 6 year old brother.  Think back to when your children were 2 and how often you carried them.  Now think back to how much your 5 year old weighed.  Imagine combining the two.  Bet your back hurts just from the thought of it.  I have my back care routine.  2 Aleeve, a hot bath and a heating pad.  It doesn't cure it but it does make it feel better.  I tried doing a little yoga to strengthen my core but who really has time for all of that?!

I came across the opportunity to review a book several weeks ago that details ways to ease lower back pain.  When I saw it I instantly thought of my husband.  Using it for my back never crossed my mind.  I downloaded the book, read it and called him in the living room to cure all of his pain.  What I didn't consider was that titanium rod in his back that prevents him bending and stretching and doing many things.  I often forget that many things designed to treat back pain are intended to prevent people from dealing with the hell also known as back surgery.  He then had the brilliant idea that I go through the book. 

I know that my muscles are tight.  I had a visit with physical therapy a few months ago when I was having muscle spasms in my back and his exact words were "wow your muscles are tight".  I am known for not liking to be touched which is why massages are out and why physical therapy lasted for a total of 1 visit. 

The first section of exercises listed is limited mobility exercises.  These exercises are used to relieve tension and lengthen tight muscles and joints.  They also help to re-align joints while improving range of motion and stimulate flexibility.  This is not an easy step.  I know from my visit to physical therapy that I have tension and tight muscles and my first attempt at these exercises only reminded my of just how tight they are.  I have been doing these exercises for several weeks now and I am making progress but it is a long, slow progress.  I haven't progressed from step 1 yet.  I am taking it slow because I can see results.  I don't want to rush it.  Over the past few weeks I can feel that my back is beginning to become less tight.  I feels more open and my muscles don't feel as if they are always clenched. 

This book has a total of 5 sections. I have read the entire book on more than one occasion.  My husband and daughter went through many rounds of physical therapy and I recognize several of these exercises from hours spent there and from their homework assignments.  I do not claim to be an expert in back pain but I have many years of experience dealing with it in my family.  It is made very obvious through the writing of this book that the author is extremely knowledgeable on the subject of lower back pain and the treatment of it through exercise.  This book is very well written with simple and easy to follow, detailed instructions explaining how to perform each exercise.  The author explains what the goal of each set of exercises is so the reader knows exactly what to expect. 

I am so happy that I had the opportunity to try this book.  I plan to continue doing the exercises and hope to see even more improvement. I believe this is an exceptional conservative approach to treating non-severe back pain.  If you are interested in learning more about this program you may do so by visiting here.

 I am not suggesting that anyone avoid seeing their doctor if they are experiencing pain.  There are some conditions that can not be treated in a conservative manner and that may be worsened by doing so.  If you are experiencing pain you should consult your doctor.  You should consult your doctor before starting any exercise program.  This post is not to be considered medical advise.  These statements are the sole opinion of the writer only.

Yumi Beautiful Rose Hip Seed Oil - Review #BloggerBuzz #GiftGuide

Yumi Beautiful Rose Hip Seed Oil
$12.99 Amazon
 

*This post contains sponsored content*

Who is familiar with Rose Hip Seed Oil?  I was not before I was introduced to this Yumi Beautiful Rose Hip Seed Oil. I'm not quick to jump on bandwagons however, I am quick to Google.  I Google everything so when I, of course, Googled Rose Hip Seed Oil right off the bat to see exactly what it is. 

Rose Hip Seed Oil contains provitamin A which is mostly beta-Carotene.  It has been said to contain retinol, which is vitamin A however, this is not correct.  Vitamin A is solely made by animals from provitamin A.  Rose hip seed oil is also high in linoleic acid also known as omego-6 and linolenic acid or omeg-3.

I suppose I have been under a rock somewhere since I wasn't aware of it's existence.  I am sure I have probably used a product containing it in the past without knowing it.  It is commonly used in skin care products that treat dermatitis and acne as well as eczema.  My son has mild eczema and I have purchased tons of OTC creams attempting to control it.  I try to avoid using his steroid cream as much as possible.  I'm going to go through our medicine cabinet tonight and see if any of his creams have Rose Hip Seed Oil in them.  It is also used to fight aging, sunburn and brittle nails. There have been positive results seen in using Rose Hip Seed Oil to treat scars and to diminish photo-aging.  This stuff sounds like a little bottle of juice straight from the fountain of youth.  I need to buy it by the gallon and bathe in it nightly.  I should contact the manufacturer about a bulk discount. I will add that to my list of things to do tomorrow.

When I received the notification that this product had shipped I had just started using another product and wasn't sure how I was going to review both.  My timing wasn't working out well for this one and I panicked slightly.  (I'm quick to panic lol) Then I had a brilliant idea..I will use my kids lab rats ha ha.  My oldest is a new teenager.  She has recently developed a small acne issue and we have tried a few things that have helped a little but it hasn't cleared it up completely.  It's not so bad that I have considered taking her to the doctor.  I'm not a fan of prescription medications.  Even acne meds.  You wouldn't know it looking at my medicine cabinet.  I give the kids their daily medications as the doctor says but I don't exactly take mine like I should.  I hate taking medicine.  I do it for the first week or so and then it usually goes in the cabinet until I get around to flushing it.  If it's not needed to keep them alive, healthy or treat a serious condition we prefer not to take it.  Anyway.. I thought this would be an excellent product to try out on her. 



It arrived

 

The day that it arrived I opened it and checked it out before giving it to her.  I wanted to see what consistency, etc it was before giving it to her and to also make sure it wasn't something that she may be sensitive to.  It is a thin yellow oil. I was surprised that it does not have a smell.  Most beauty products have some type of scent but this one does not.  I really like that because everyone in my house is very sensitive to smells.  Strong smells give us headaches.  I used a little just to try it out and see how it went on.  It is an oil but once it is applied it dries almost instantly.  It doesn't leave your skin feeling oily.  It has a soft moisturized feel but it also has a feeling that almost reminds me of how skin feels when you apply baby powder.  It's hard to describe, but it's a really good feeling.  I have applied face products hours before bed only to wake up the next morning and have to wash my pillow case and pillow.  I am not a fan of laundry..I sure don't want to wake up to dirt pillows every day.  I really like that this dries basically instantly but still moisturizes.

 

It doesn't work instantly.  It took about a week for me to notice a difference in her skin.  Right now she has 1 pimple.  She didn't have horrible skin but it wasn't uncommon for her to have 4 or 5 at once.  Her skin also feels smoother and looks brighter.  She doesn't wear makeup yet so it's easy to notice any changes on her.  She has commented several times about how much better her face feels. 

 

Here are a few words from Yumi Beautiful:

Leather Nova Cleaner - Review #BloggerBuzz #GiftGuide

Leather Nova Cleaner Amazon $16.95

 

*This post contains sponsored content*

 

I did a review a few days ago about the Leather Nova Restorer and Conditioner and how great it works.  I also used the Leather Nova cleaning products on the truck that day prior to the restorer and conditioner.

 

As I mentioned the other day, the truck was in desperate need of help.  It was horrible.  Between not being used regularly and having kids and pets as passengers when it is used, it was in desperate need of being scrubbed.  I was very tempted to just dump some soap in it and spray it down with a water hose.  Even knowing that I would surely ruin something inside of it, I still had a strong urge to do just that.

 

I cleaned the entire cab of the truck with the Leather Nova Cleaner prior to using the Conditioner and Restorer.  The cleaner is truly amazing.  There is no need to scrub.  Not even stains that have been there for much longer than any stain should be left there.  So long that you aren't even sure what it is anymore.  Each of the Leather Nova products includes a cleaning pad or microfiber towel which makes the cleaning process even that much easier.  I normally go to clean my vehicle and realize that I don't have a towel to use which results in me either using paper towels or grabbing one of my good dishtowels.  I either ruin a good towel or have white fuzzies everywhere when I finish.  This time I ended up with a perfectly spotless and great smelling truck.  The cleaner removes dirt, stains and small scratches effortlessly.  The interior of my husband's truck hasn't been this clean since we purchased it. 

 

A few words from Leather Nova:

 

Leather Nova Cleaner - Taking Care Of The Leather Products Was Never So Easy!

Leather Nova Leather Conditioner & Restorer - Review

Leather Nova Leather Conditioner & Restorer Amazon $15.97

*This post contains sponsored content*

I'm not a fan of leather.  Leather is not comfortable when it's 110 degrees outside and you are wearing shorts. It feels sticky and sweaty.  I prefer cloth seats.  My husband's truck has leather seats though.  We never drive it except for short trips down the street to make sure that it still runs fine.  He drives his company car everywhere so we don't really have a use for it at this time.  I don't want to sell though because it's a good truck and you never know when a job change will happen with no company vehicle.  I don't want to buy a new one for sure, I'm cheap like that.  It's a 2002 but it still runs great.  We have had to do some work to it over the years but it really is a good truck.  Ok, I got way off point lol..

The only leather that I own is in the truck. It's aftermarket leather that was added right after the truck was manufactured so it's pretty old.  I don't think it was the best quality either.  It has some wear.  There are cracks in it on the driver's side from use.  It needs to be replaced but I haven't bothered with it since we don't use it often.  It's also filthy.  Things that aren't used regularly collect dust and other yuck.  I am an OCD neat freak when it comes to my house but my vehicles are a different story.  My truck is brown, which happens to be the color of dirt..I did that on purpose. When the Leather Nova Leather Conditioner and Restorer arrived I was anxious to try it out.  I wasn't expecting too much.  After all, there wasn't much hope, in my opinion, for the truck seats but I figured this would be a good test for the leather products. 

The Leather Nova Leather Conditioner & Restorer comes with an application pad.  I waited for the first somewhat cool day and then headed out to the truck.  The product applies very easily with the included pad.  It glided smoothly over the seat.  I did clean the seats before applying it.  (Don't judge..we all have one thing in our lives that filthy) I was surprised that with only one pass the seat looked completely different.  It was shining and the truck was filled with the smell of new leather.  Small scratches weren't as noticeable as they were before I applied it.  I only cleaned the passenger seat because I wanted to see the difference in the two once the seat was dry.  It didn't take long at all to apply this product and I left it to dry.  I returned a little less than an hour later and it was already dry.  I didn't expect that because the seat was shining which gave me the impression that it was still wet.  Upon touching it I noticed that it was dry and that it wasn't oily feeling.  It didn't feel like I would slide off if I sat on it.  That has actually happened to me in the past.  That could be part of the reason that I hate to clean vehicles..a little PTSD from falling off a freshly cleaned seat.   The seat had a soft, clean feeling.  And the entire truck still smelled like a new vehicle.  I was very impressed with what this product did for 12 year old leather.  I can only imagine how amazing it would work on leather that is in better condition.  I would certainly recommend this product to anyone that owns leather products, confident that they will be just as satisfied as I am.

Super Bright Longest Lasting Glow Stick Bracelets - Review

Glow Stick Bracelets - Amazon 100 $7.99

 *This post contains sponsored content*



Who doesn't LOVE glow sticks?! If you said that you don't, we know that you are not telling the truth.  Everyone loves glow sticks!  Even adults can't resist getting in on the fun when someone breaks out glow sticks. 

I recently received the opportunity to review the Super Bright Longest Lasting Glow Stick Bracelets sold by Super Bright.  I was so excited and knew that I was going to have a ton of cool plans for them by the time they got here. Well, I did...and then my kids informed me that I am "lame".  I totally held back the urge to look at them and say bite me, since saying that to your kids is frowned upon.  Instead I gave them each a handful of glow sticks and dared them to come up with ideas that were better than mine.  Well, I'm not so sure that their ideas were all that much better but they sure did keep them occupied for a while.  They took the glow sticks out back and proceeded to play a game of night tag.  They did actually have a pretty good idea with this.  They made a perimeter with the glow sticks and then placed a few in random locations inside of the playing area.  The glow stick are very bright.  They lit up the area nicely and they were able to see good enough to prevent any injuries and were able to see just enough to catch a glimpse of the person running.  Next they decided that they would include the animals so they made collars for each of the dogs out of glow bracelets and chased them through the field for a while.  It was actually really cute.  You could see a little circle glowing and floating across the yard.  I tried to video it but it wouldn't show up on camera :( After that they just spent the next hour running around with the glow sticks.  This probably doesn't seem like a big deal to most, but for my kids to be outside doing anything..that's a big deal.  They tend to avoid going outside during the summer when it's 125 degrees at midnight. Yes, October is still summer here. They talked about how much fun they had for the entire weekend.  The sticks were still glowing when they eventually came in and that was well over an hour later.  I looked outside after a few hours and could still see them glowing.  I have never purchased glow sticks that lasted even half as long as these. 

A little glow stick fun in the dark :)
 

Like most moms, I didn't give them the entire tube because I knew they would use them all within 10 minutes and then come in to beg for more.  We are going to a gathering Friday night and there will be several kids and a wiener roast.  I secretly hid a stash of them for that night.  I mean the tube has 100 in it!  Way more than enough for even 2 or 3 glow filled nights.  I can't wait to see all of the fun games they come up with together.  I'm sure that a large group of children of all ages will have some very creative ideas on how to use glow sticks.

With Halloween coming up very quickly, I am hoping that I can manage to stash a few for decorating on Halloween.  Glow sticks are just an awesome item to have around the house at all times.  There are so many ways to use them.  In the past we have made tents and told spooky stories by the light of the glow sticks.  They really do turn the most boring of situations into a memorable night.  I have found some awesome ideas for decorating with glow sticks. Here are a few of the ones I am hoping to do for Halloween night.




Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from watermelons or jack o lanterns from pumpkins



Glow sticks inside of rubber gloves placed inside a pool or pond



My Favorite!  Glow sticks placed inside water balloons that are placed inside stocking and hung from trees



Glowing pumpkins. Drill holes in pumpkins and insert glow sticks

 



I hope that I am able to hide enough glow sticks from the kids to complete at least one of these projects.  I absolutely love the water balloons hanging from the trees.  For Halloween this would look very spooky with green glow sticks.  This could even be done with white glow stick to create and elegant feel for a wedding or prom.  Add some sparkly jewels to the stockings so that the light reflects and it resembles big rain drops. I think that these glow sticks will work great for these projects because they last for hours.  I have never purchased glow sticks before that lasted more than an hour or so.  With these glow sticks, I can activate them once it gets dark and I know that they will last through the entire night.  Who would have thought that glow sticks could be so useful?! These are definitely not just for the kids to play with.  I have found so many amazing ways to use glow sticks.  These glow stick bracelets are currently available on Amazon, priced at $7.99 for 100.  At that price I may just give the kids the rest of this tube and order another one for my projects. 

 

A few informative words from Super Bright:

These glow stick bracelets are long lasting, super bright and durable.

Each tube contains 100 8" long glowing bracelets. Connector pieces are included giving you the option of making necklaces, glasses and more.  These bracelets are fresh from the factory. The bracelets were manufactured just a few weeks ago and have a shelf lift of up to 2 years prior to activation.  They are non-toxic and CPSIA compliant.  Each tube contains 5 colors - blue, green, yellow, orange and pink. The Super Glow brand bracelets last all night.  They glow super bright for 8-10 hours and will start to fade but may continue to emit some light for up to 36 hours. 

 

This is by far the best glow stick brand that I have used.  If you are interested in purchasing this product you may do so by clicking here.

Adovia Anti Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer Cream - Review

Adovia Anti Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer Cream

 

*This post contains sponsored content and affiliate links*

I have now reached THAT age.  The age that I don't speak of. The age that comes a few numbers after 29.  The age where you see a few wrinkles looking back at you in the mirror and you realize...it's time for me to start with the 42 nightly anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, make me look 21 again creams. 

Staying young is expensive, but in most cases it is totally worth it.  I think I do a good job of taking care of my skin.  I use make up remover, toner, moisturizer and do a peel every couple of weeks.  Up until now, I was not using a wrinkle cream.  I think I missed the memo that went out explaining that you should use wrinkle cream BEFORE you see wrinkles in order to prevent them.  That's my bad.  Honestly, I still think of myself as too young to need all of this stuff.  So, I let myself get a few little fine lines around my eyes and now I feel like I look 96 and need a facelift.  The dreaded side effects of being a grown up...and having kids :)

I have been using the Adovia acne soap for about a month or so now.  Actually, everyone has been.  Brandon, Chey and I wash our faces with it every night/morning. I don't really have breakouts but I have noticed that Chey is having a lot less since she started using it. For me, it works just as well, if not better, than the make up remover I was using prior to it.  I have also noticed that I do not need to use an exfoliating peel as often.  I know it's only soap, but I am very impressed with how well it works, especially knowing how little it costs.  After seeing the results of the acne soap, I was excited when I was presented with the opportunity to review their intensive anti-wrinkle cream. 

I continued using the Adovia soap until this product arrived.  Once the intensive anti-wrinkle cream arrived I started using it twice a day.  It goes on very easily and dries quickly. After applying it I add a little sunscreen and   my makeup goes on smoothly over it.  My face stays soft and moisturized throughout the entire day and is not oily at the end of the days, as I have experienced with many other moisturizers.  I have been using this product for a few weeks now and can see a difference in the fine lines around my eyes.  I also use it on my neck in an attempt to prevent wrinkles appearing there.  I am very pleased with this line of products.  They work just as they are advertised and best of all they are budget friendly! I recommend this product, without any reservations, to anyone that needs a product to prevent or erase the signs of aging. 


A few informative words from Adovia:
