Review - Insta Natural Vitamin C Moisturizer

My poor husband works outside all day long.  By the time he comes home, no matter the season, his face is often wind chapped, sun burned, or just over exposed to the elements.  Vitamin C Moisturizer is hi life saver.  I an put some on his face and it no only hydrates, but takes the red and the stink out.






Insta Natural has a great moisturizer.  It absorbs quickly, is not greasy and leaves my skin feeling healed and fresh.  Pairing this with their C serums is a recipe for great looking skin.



The bottle is a pump bottle and it took a little while for it to get the product out, but once it did, it came out thick, rich and creamy (er....you know for a moisturizer).  I'm really excited about the long term use of this product and how much it will help my skin.

Review - Insta Natural Vitamin C Serum

Insta Natural allowed me to also try out their Vitamin C Serum. I will tell you I'm a huge fan of Vitamin C for healing and youthfulness. Finding it in a serum made me even more eager to try it. Serums are what you want spend your money on, if you only can afford one 'extra' This serum boasts the following: Hyaluronic Acid Ferulic Acid Sea Buckthorn Oil Plant Stem Cells This product comes out a milky off white color. Its not super thick, but it has enough thickness that it doesn't just run off your skin. It absorbs quickly with little to no scent and doesn't leave a sticky residue.

You can get the product Here.

Since I've only been using the product for almost a week, I haven't noticed any major changes.  I do know that it keeps my face a little better hydrated.  I think long term use mixed with Insta Natural's Vitamin C Moisturizing cream and I will have top notched skin.

I love the tidy packaging this product comes in!

Review - Insta Natural Pro Radiant Skin Brightening Serum

Insta Natural Pro Radiant Skin Brightening Serum Wow, this product is packed of feel good skin products: Vitamin C Hyaluronic Acid Alpha Arbutin Niacinmide Directions for use are simple: Massage a small amount to clean (and toned if you use toner) skin, allow the serum to soak in and then apply moisturizer. The package came wrapped in a thick protective plastic but was very easy to get open thankfully. The product is in lovely tinted glass bottle with a dropper applicator. The serum has a very faint orange scent, but it is very faint. The product itself is thick and orange colored. It easily absorbs and leaves a bit of a tacky finish. I have not been able to use it long enough to attest to its long term results, but it is certainly tightening to some degree. I will need to check back in a few weeks and see how the lightening process works!

Review - NYB Arabica Coffee Scrub


New York Biology was kind enough to provide me this lovely coffee scrub for review.  To begin it comes in a tidy package with an  easy to remove seal and top.

Upon opening the bottle you'll be immediately hit with the scent of warm fresh coffee.  Totally invigorating to take in.  The instructions on the back indicates that you may want to add a touch of liquid coconut oil to make it more oily.  I went ahead and tried it without to see how rich it was.


I was not disappointed.  The product scrubs and cleanses skin quite easily of unwanted residue and slight skin imperfections.  I loved the oil and the treatment that the product left behind.  Though I would like to have seen it have a little more richness to it.

4 out o 5 stars.

Review - Naturalico Shiatsu Neck&Shoulder Massager


Today was one of those days where I wanted a glass of wine, macaroni and cheese and a hot bath after work.  So the fact that I had the Naturalico Shiatsu Neck & Shoulder Massager to help me relax is extremely beneficial.  



The first thing this device is not made for large bodied people.  It fits perfectly on my shoulders, but they are not broad and I am a fairly small framed gal.  The roller balls are encased in a mesh and pleather fabric.  It seems like it would be easily cleaned.  There is a heater and a directional button along with the power button. The device can be used on any body parts.  It also has loops and handles that you can apply deeper pressure or Velcro it on to your waist.  My favorite spot to use it is on my neck, especially with me using a computer all day long.

The other really cool feature is the fact it gives you an adapter to be able to plug it into a car.  What a treat on a long car ride!!! I am pleased with this item and would definitely recommend it.

Review - T-PET Daily Dental Care Gel for Dogs


I don't know what I was expecting exactly.  I've used some sprays on my boys teeth and they were pretty good and worked well.  This, gel comes with a little finger rubber that has nubbies on one side and small rubber brush on the other.

I don't know what I expected, but it hasn't improved their breath and I've not seen any improvement in the tartar on their teeth.  I'm not sure I'd buy this again, as I'm really unimpressed.  Its difficult to brush onto their teeth and I'm not so sure feels very comfortable to them either......

Review - BPAL - The Devil Will Find Work for Idle Hands - Lilith 2016

Image result for the devil will find work for idle hands

I haven't done a BPAL review in a while.  2016 Motherhood came out.  My friends wanted to buy stuff, so did I and it arrived yesterday! Sorry you guys....I totally sniffed.

First up was this little gem.  "The Devil Will Find Work for Idle Hands"
I love it.  Its a big sugar explosion in your face.  Cotton candy, whip cream, sugar candy.....diabetic coma in sniff form.  Sooooooo delicious.  It makes me feel kid like and happy without being overly kid smelling.  This is a scent for a lighthearted day.  It is going into my keeper stack.


Image result for the devil will find work for idle hands

BPAL's Description:  Let’s be real: I just wanted an excuse to make a scent inspired by this photo. Lilith and I have incredibly similar senses of humor, full of fart jokes and gross outs and vulgarity. I love her belly laugh, I love how weird and surreal she is. I love that her jokes fall in a strange void somewhere between Harpo Marx, Deadpool, and Andy Kaufman with a huge helping of knock knock jokes that make no sense at all.
I love that she and I laugh at so many of the same things, and I love that she and I sometimes laugh together until we’re crying and cramping.
This scent is a ridiculous mélange of blue cotton candy, strawberry marshmallows, and whipped cream with sprinkles.

Review - Magnetic Wall Mounted Bottle Opener MAGCAP

Sometimes you purchase something and it turns out more perfect than you ever anticipated. My husband is so excited and happy about this MAGCAP, he actually declared it as being the best gift I ever got him. Stainless steel nickle colored, two screws - it was super easy to figure out how to mount. Took me, the non construction minded less than 5 minutes from opening it to putting it on the wall.
My husband says the magnet part that holds the cap after popping it, is the most ingenuous thing he's ever seen. No more searching around for a bottle opener and then leaving it where it doesn't belong.  So I have nothing negative to say and just recommend getting it especially if you drink a lot of pop top drinks!

Review - Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for Dogs and Cats

My little Snuggles Ninja has such dry skin.  My groomer recommended I start adding fish oil to his diet to help him and so far so good, it works!

The first thing I'd like to say is, this bottle is fantastic.  Its solid, metallic and the pump works beautifully.  There is no hesitation in the pump and it keeps the mess at bay.  This company has went out of their way to make sure that this fish oil is as natural as possible.  The other thing I really like about it is the fact hat it does't smell.  A lot of fish oil is quite gross smelling, so I am happy that this does not.  It is a little pricey, but all in all worth the money for the high quality product you are receiving.

Review - Hanging Cat Hammock - Ferrets Too! Simply Attach to Chair / Cage / Tower- Creates Large Bed for Your Pet - 21" x 13"!

Wow. I can't believe I have to do this.  I'm sad that I am.

I was kind of excited to get this product, because I really love making my cats happy and what better to make a cat happy than to let them hang out in a hammock......?

Well....not this hammock. It comes with 4 straps that has clips on the end.  That is it, there is nothing but the hammock in the package.  No ideas on how to hang it or items to hang it with.  My husband being a pretty handy guy thought it'd be super easy to hang up.  He was wrong.  We could never get it to hang in a way the cats felt safe.  So they avoided it. :(  I have no pictures of the cats on this item, because they refused to get on it. :( It wouldn't even stay hanging, it often fell (though admittedly....that may be my hanging skills)





The fabric is a canvas star pattern, backed by a super soft fleece like fabric.  The straps are nylon.

I'm sure if you had a cage, this would easily hang, but, you won't be hanging this just anywhere and I'm not sure the cats will like it.

Review - Divas Never Age® Vitamin C Serum + Vit A, E & B3

As I get older facial care is a top priority to me.  I absolutely love makeup and new products for my face to see if it can help me stave off time just a little longer. I'm also a lover and firm believer in the power of vitamin c for your skin.

I have my husband who works out in the sun and heat all day (and is in his mid 40's, he'd say late...but whatever) use it and it saves his face from windburn, further sun damage, and even reverses some of the sun damage/age spots on his face.  So yeah....I jumped all over this product.

Divas Never Age's Vitamin C Serum is a win.



Things it's done for my face:

Takes away the red from my face.
Helps my moisturizer do a better job
Diminished the fine lines and wrinkles on my face.
Overall made my skin feel more supple and healthy.



The product has no scent to me.  It helps with moisture, though you WILL need a moisturizer on top of it.  Its tacky after application (once you smooth it out along your face) but dries quickly.  I always wait till it dries then apply my moisturizer.

My favorite part about this products packaging is the eye dropper that is the lid. Its classy looking and effective.  One pump is enough for my whole face and neck (would use another on my decolletage).

Here is me putting it to good use:




Buy this, help your face, it will thank you.

Review - IDAODAN Professional Digital Kitchen Scale

Who doesn't need to be more conscientious about what they are stuffing their face with? I know I do.
One of the easiest ways to watch your weight is by weighing your food.  So I was super excited when given the opportunity to test out this food scale.

The weighing tray is a lovely silver chrome color. The bottom is plastic, but it is a sturdy scale.  There is an option to change the way something is weighed and an on and off button.  Its super simple and I'd say effective.  The package comes with two batteries to get you going and once you stick them in, it's ready to be used.


I weight a bottle that has fluid ounces in it and it did so brilliantly.  While not having a lot of bells and whistles I think the basic purpose of this item makes it hard not to give it 5 stars.  From what I can tell the accuracy is right on par.

See my video of it in action here:

Review - 800LM CREE XML T6 LED Flashlight

It's 2:00 in the morning, my power goes out, dog's are barking they want to go out and I can't see a thing. I'm sleepily looking around for a flashlight, but there isn't one.  RATS!!!!! Not literally....but...metaphorically.

Nothing worse than not being able to see where you are going or what you are doing when you actually need to.  So I am super excited to now have in my possession this awesome flashlight!



First thing first, its water proof. So, if you are a klutz like me or have to use in the rain, its safe and will work!

Second, its solid, the pieces are metal and you don't feel like its about to fall apart in your hands.

Third, there are multiple light options, from a straight beam, to a strobe, to a slow flash and a dim light.  I can't say enough good things.



The batteries are easy to put in and its super simple to turn on.  This easily gets 5 stars from me!

Rayya Garden Hose Nozzle

I should water my plants more, but I'm lazy and I've never had a super helpful hose nozzle to make it easier for me.  I'm very pleased with this item we got from Raaya.

It has several settings from shower (my personal favorite) to center spray.  It is great for all kinds of watering needs.  It did leak some, but I'm pretty sure that was my hoses' fault and not the nozzle.


The plastic is sturdy and the setting change is an easy twist.  I think you will love this if you need a great well built garden hose.
