Arvazillia Advanced Hair Repair Shampoo, Conditioner and Argan Oil Mask Review

We all know that coloring our hair damages it pretty bad but alot of people dont think of the environment when it comes to damaged hair. The weather plays a huge part ont his leaving build up in your hair hair as well as nasty toxins. Most shampoos that claim they are getting rid of the nastiness from our hair really dont work. I was really excited to try out Arvazillia's Hair Repair Shampoo & Conditioner as well as their Argan Oil Hair Mask.

Ive heard great things about this company so when I got the products I expected a high quality. I am very please to report you wont be disappointed! I tried out the shampoo and conditioner on the first night I got them. When you use the shampoo it has no color to it like some of the other ones that I have use. When I started to lather I was a little bit worried that it wasnt going to work as well because I had used my normal amount of shampoo that I use but it just wasnt lathering like I thought it should.

After I rinsed out my hair, I put on the conditioner part of this duo. The conditioner is very light. When I mean light, I mean it doesnt feel like its weighing down your hair. The other thing is that it didnt feel like I had conditioner in my hair. I worry about stupid things like that. lol. I figured I would give it at least a week with these two products before I made any final decisions.

Well about a week and a half passed and well my hair was actually going from buckwheat straw to gorgeous manageable hair! Granted it needed more TLC but I could actually comb my hair without ripping out chunks. MY dry hair felt lighter and cleaner. I was seeing these nasty little dots of buildup on the ends of my hair. It was slowly improving my hair!!!! I also have noticed I not losing clumps of hair anymore. (Dont laugh my unbrushed hair!. lol)

Being the natural blonde (I dye for artificial intelligence), I realized that this shampoo and conditioner was actually doing what it was meant to do! It was helping and repairing my damaged hair into a beautiful mane! It doesnt happen over night like we want but this is the first real product outside of a salon that I have used that actually works! Dont let the weight of it or lack of lather let you think its not. Bigger is not always better!

So like I said before, I had been using the shampoo and conditioner for about a week and a half. I figured at this time I would try out the argan hair mask. Now this hair mask is to be used 1-2 times a week so its not an everyday kinda mask. The texture of the mask is very light also so you dont feel the weight when you do you head. So about the mask- it goes on really easy-just apply to clean hair and let it sit for 5-7 minutes then rinse. Ive done this twice and so far I can tell a HUGE improvement in the softness of my hair. The conditioner helps but the hair mask really makes it super soft-like the soft that you get from doing a deep conditioner treatment at the salon!

Overall I am extremely impressed by Arvazillia's products. They are affordable and actually work! If you are wanting to buy this right now (I suggest you do!) then you can go ahead and click here for the shampoo, here for the conditioner, and here for the hair mask. I do recommend getting all 3 as it works best as a whole system. If you dont get the mask its not going to hurt you!

I did get these products to review at a full discount for my unbias opinion in return. I would never recommend products that I didnt try out and believe in myself!

Leafholic Cute Silicone Tea Infuser with Drip Tray, Pink

Ive never owned a tea infuser but I absolutely love tea (dont ask me why I never owned one. lol). I was given the chance to review Leadholic's Silicone Tea infuser in pink and I absolutely love it!!! First off the have four colors to chose from so dont worry if you dont like pink or you think its too girly. lol

When I got the tea diffuser, the first thing I noticed on the box was that his face turns colors as the temp of the water changes. I absolutely think this is the coolest thing(or the hottest depending on how you look at it. lol). I always have a hard time gauging when my tea is ready so his little face turning colors is really neat!

The diffusion part of it works really well. It holds a good amount of loose leaf tea. It comes with a little "tail" I guess you could say that you can rest the body on when you arent using the tea so that you can reuse it for a couple more cups.

The quality of this tea diffuser is great! Its made from silicone that is BPA free so you dont have to worry about toxins in your tea. I ran him through my dishwasher (no high heat) and he came out just fine~not sure if I was supposed to do that. lol

Overall I am really impressed by this! I absolutely love his "personality" and it works great! I f you want to order this right now on amazon at an amazing price, just click here. I would never recommend a product to my readers that I didnt try and love! I did get this at a full discount for my unbias review in return.

Chair Lumbar Support by VIVE

Now days, almost everyone has an issue with their back whether its to weight, surgery, or having something happen to it. Its no fun for sure and it sure can be a real pain, literally. MY husband is a disabled veteran tht jumped out of helicopters the entire time he was in Iraq so he has a compacted spine. When I was give the chance to review this chair lumbar support by VIVE, I was happy for my husband because maybe this was going to be some relief for him.

When I got it the first thing I noticed is how NOT cheap made is was. Its really great durability and quality so I figured it will last a long time. It has a nice strap on the back which will be very useful because Ive gotten him other back supports without the strap and every time he got out of his chair it fell forward and he had hard time re positioning it. 

So this lumbar chair support, can fit on almost any size chair! We tried it out on his computer chair at home (its an executive chair but its really uncomfortable for him) and it fit great. The next place he tried it out on was our dining room chairs. I admit these chairs are incredibly uncomfortable (hey it was his set before we got married! lol) so I figured that would be great for him. Problem with our chairs is that it has huge open spot at the bottom so I was worried about it falling though. Nope-with the strap on the back of it the chair support stayed in place and worked great!

If you are tired of having uncomfortable sitting experiences, I highly recommend getting this product. You can order immediate relief right now by clicking here. I did get this at a discount for my unbias review in return but I would never recommend a product that I didnt try out first and fully back.

Pyora French Press Coffee and Tea Maker 34 Ounce, Stainless Steel

Alot of people have never heard of a french press. Truth be told I never knew what they were until a few years ago myself when I was introduced to them. Basically a french press is a manual coffee maker that makes you coffee taste more divine than you could ever imagine! The oils from the coffee beans dont get lost in the paper filter. My old coffee press broke about 2 months ago and I just havent broken down to buy a new one. I was so happy to be able to review Pyora's French Press Coffee and Tea Maker.

When I first got this, I noticed right away how pretty it look. I love the stainless steel look along with the glass. I like that I am able to see the grounds of the coffee or the tea cuttings at the bottom of the french coffee press. The press itself is very heavy and study-not ones of those cheap ones you might find at the dollar store.

A few of the other qualities that I really like about this is the filter. Its not dingy and I highly doubt I will need to replace it like I have with ones in the past. It really kept the grinds out of my cup! Other pros of this coffee press was that it has a very study handle. I dont have to worry about after a few times of washing it, of the handle coming off. Also when I pour myself a cup the handle makes it easy to hold. The pouring itself is super easy to and it creates a straight pour rather that splashing everywhere.

Overall, I love this french press and I think its by far the best one I have owned. Its beautiful yet functional. If you want to purchase this right now on amazon, just click here. You wont be disappointed!!!! I did receive this product for free for my unbias review in return and I would never recommend anything to my readers that I havent tried and loved myself!

Unscented Gentle Makeup Remover Wipes Gentle Non-Drying - 25 Towelettes by MADesigns

Have you ever spent the night at someone's house and not been able to remove your makeup because of the lack of stuff to do it? Yes you can use a bar of soap and a washcloth but that dries the poopie outta your ace and then you are left trying to moisturize your face-its just a vicious cycle. lol. Well with MADesigns makeup remover wipes, you dont have to worry about that any more!!!

MADesigns makeup remover wipes come in a pack of 25 that are easy enough to pack in your purse and not even notice that they are there. They are unscented so you dont have to worry about whether you like the smell of the wipe or any allergic reactions to the fragrance on the wipe. They are also 100% oil free as well as alcohol free so it wont dry your skin out!

These wipes are about the size of a hand soap bottle when fully opened. The wipes also arent so wet that they drip all over your hands or leave an oil residue forcing you to wash your hands for 5 minutes after you use it. They are not very thick and heavy but they sure do the job! I was able to wipe off all my eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick and foundation with just one wipe. After I was done it left my face feeling refreshed and tighten (in a good way!)

You can buy these on amazon right now at a great price by clicking here. I did get these free in exchange for my unbias review in return. I would never recommend anything that would hurt my readers or that was bad for you.

1800 Prime Collection Bed Sheet Set~Olivia Branch

Everyone loves sleeping on hotel sheets because they are so amazingly soft and feel so good against your skin. When you get home, you realize just how bad your sheets suck. lol. When I looked online for decent sheets, I found alot that would have cost me 2 arms and a leg so when I was given the opportunity to review Olivia Branch's 1800 bed sheet set in size King, I was so happy!!!!

So when I on amazon, I noticed how they have every size bed set and tons of colors to chose from. I chose black since it goes with our room colors. Anyhow, I ordered em, got them, and loved them! lol. when I got them, I did wash them because its just a natural habit. Be sure to follow how to wash them!!! Wash them in cold water and dry them on lowest setting you can.



~Please ignore my kitten on the bed. He loved the sheets too!~

The set comes with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and 2 pillow cases. I am just showing pictures of the fitted sheet because to me thats the most important one but the are all the same quality! These sheets are polyester but feel great against my skin! I could literally just lay on the bed and sleep with no blankets. lol. Anyhow, I put the sheets on my bed and they fit beautifully. We have a down feather mattress topper that is a couple of inch thick so it was nice that these sheets fit up to a 16"mattress. The color quality of them is great even after I washed and dried them!

Overall I think these are great sheets at a great price. They are soft to the touch, have a great assortment of colors, and fit awesome! One quick tip- Dont use fabric softner in the washer or dryer sheets because it will damage the sheets. If you buy these sheets right now from my blog, you can get 10% off!!!!!

Age Defense Neck Cream by Body Merry

Aging. Everyone hates it but its just like time and change where its inevitable. While it is something we cant stop, we sure can slow it down! I was given the opportunity to review Body Merry's Age Defense Neck Cream. Being that I turned the big 30 last year, Ive really started with the anti aging process of creams and serums. I want beautiful skin when I get into my 60s.

When I first got this product, the first thing I noticed was that it came in a bottle that looked like it wasnt that much. Let me tell you, looks can be deceiving! lol. So the bottle holds 1.7 oz. Usually I would want a tub of stuff to be able to soak in, but with this cream, you literally only need a tiny bit!!! As you can see in the pic, that little squirt covered all of my neck and between my boos (yes I put creams there cause I dont want saggy boobies). I love how little of it I needed to cover so much!!!


         


The directions are pretty straight forward on the fact that apply it in the morning and at night. It does tell you if you ahve sensitive skin to only apply it at night. This cream can also be used in addition to other serums that you might use and you can wear it under your makeup. It has tons of vitamins and antioxidants in it that help lift, firm and hydrate your skin.

Aging can be graceful and with the help of creams like this, I am going to embrace it (just at a much slower rate. lol). you can buy this product on amazon right now by clicking here. Trust me you wont be disappointed!!!!

I did get this product from tomoson.com for my unbias review in return but I would never recomend soemthing that I didnt try myself and personally love.

InstaNatural Peppermint & Lavender Essential Oils Review

So lately I have been seeing alot of talk about essential oils and what they are used for and how they work. Ive been a fan of oils for a while now but not all of them are the same! Don't be fooled! When I was given the opportunity to try out InstaNatural's Peppermint and Lavender oils, I was really excited (I get that way when I dont have to pay for something. lol).

When I first got the oils, I noticed how big the bottles were and they had droppers! All the other oils I have gotten come in smaller bottles with no way to effectively get the oil out without pouring a bunch at one time. Reading the instructions, they are just like any other oil in there use. When you get around to opening them, the smell is fantastic! Some would say its overbearing but I love how strong the scent is because I use them in making lotions.

So I used the peppermint oil in my sons vaporizer as for I hate having to go from store to store to try to find the vaporizer oil that goes on it. I used the peppermint one as for it helps with breathing since my son was congested. The dropper came in really handy with I had to dispense it into the tiny hole. It works great! The next morning he woke up being able to breathe and felt like a million bucks!

As for the lavender oil, I used it to make lotion. I mix it with my own shea butter and other ingredients. I love the fragrance as it is not so overpowering that you feel nauseous. I put the lotion on every night and the lavender helps me get into sleepy mode. Since my husband doesnt use "girly" lotion, I slipped some on his pillow. lol. It didnt stain the pillow or leave any weird residue.

Overall I think these are amazon oils and absolutely love the smell of them!!!! If you click here, you can order the peppermint oil. If you are looking for the lavender oil, go ahead and click here. Which ever one you decide to buy (or both) you wont be disappointed!!! I did get these at a full discount through tomoson.com for my unbias review in return but I would never recommend something that I havent tried out myself first and loved!

Nanshy MARVEL 4 in 1 Mint Green Beauty Blender Makeup Blending Sponge

Putting on makeup is an art and sometimes art becomes tricky! Just like a painter, women who puts on makeup needs to have the right tools. Ive used foundation brushes in the past and well frankly I wasnt too thrilled with them because they left behind streaks. When I was given the opportunity to review Nanshy Marvel 4-1 beauty blender, I jumped on it!

I have beauty blenders that I use-I was a huge fan of them but I never knew how much of a difference there are in blenders till now. The pic (under here) was my beauty blender next to Nanshy's blender. Notice how its on the handle and its just rounded. It made it kind of hard to blend because I was worried about ripping it off the handle if I used it too hard or if I washed it too hard. It also is alot smaller that the Nanshy one so you arent as much coverage with it.

Now look at the pic below-it is the Nanshy blender. I must say its alot different in a good way!!!! The Nanshy blender is a hand held blender so you it feels like you have more control over it and dont ahve to worry about it ripping off a handle. The base of it is larger enough that it fits comfortably in your hand.

When it comes to the top of the blender, this is where I noticed the biggest difference. As you can see on my old blender it was just rounded with a pointed tip. This makes blending near your nose and eyes hard because personally my nose isnt rounded. With the Nanshy blender it has a nice 45 degree angle so that you can get directly next to your nose to blend perfectly! I have yet to find other blenders with this angle on it.

Overall I think this blender is amazing and I could never go back to anything else (it would feel like Im cheating! lol). I did get this at a discount to review but you cant beat the price for the quality that you are getting with this blender. You so will not be disappointed with it! You can click here to go buy it on amazon right now!

Dispenserless Packing Tape by As Seen On TV1

I do alot of selling and packaging of boxes for shipment. The worse thing about shipping is the taping of the boxes!!!! I cant tell you how many times Ive broken fingernails trying to get the tape started just so I can start taping. Once I get the tape started and tape my boxes, the next issue I run into is finding scissors to cut the tape! Well no more thanks to Dispenerless Tape made by As Seen on TV!!!

This tape is awesome!!!! Its really easy to use. All you have to do is find the black dot (its pretty easy to see!), lift it, pull and tear! Thats it! No scissors needed and no broken nails!!!! Another great thing about this is that you dont have to worry about losing your place on the tape!!!

The patented easy-tear design is flat out awesome. As you can see it makes taping really easy! All you have to do is tape and tear! After you tear there is a remanding half dot so it makes it visible and easy to find for the next time you use it.

The tape roll is 55 yards long-roughly half a football field. Its about 2 inches thick so you dont have to worry about double taping something just to make sure it stays taped.

If you are moving or just in need of tape, I highly suggest you click here to go buy it off amazon now!!! Trust me you wont be disappointed!

I did get this at a full discount for my unbias review in return but as Ive stated before pictured dont lie (unless your amazing at photoshop-so not me! lol)

Themalabs Organic Self Tanner

As most of yall know I'm a pasty white girl. lol. I have tried tons of self tanners that have resulted in orange streaky legs or nasty burns from tanning beds. I was at the point in my life where I was going to accept that I would never have beautiful golden skin. lol. After I saw the Thermalabs Organic Self Tanner promotion, I figured why not. What did I have to lose in the dead of winter from trying yet another self tanner? This is not just another self tanner!

Like I said before this is not just another self tanner-its happiness and goldness in a bottle. lol. When I got it, the first thing I noticed was that it said it was organic so I went to look at the ingredients. It has Avocado oil in it, olive oil, shea butter, cocoa seed butter, and aloe leaf juice-all of these wonderful things to help keep your skin healthy. Other self tanners I used in past had alot of junk in it that I couldnt even pronounce the names of so this made me feel better about using it.

Ok so the ultimate test was how is it going to look after I apply it. I hate orange streaky legs-whats attractive about that? lol. SO I did a mild exfoliation like it said to then I applied to all over. I did a thin layer of it cause I didnt want really dark since I was only trying it out on my upper thigh on one leg. So I put it on like a normal lotion and then after 20 minutes, I went to bed. Oh dont forget to wash your hands after you apply it!!!!

So I was up the next morning to this (see pic below). My thigh is pretty!!! Its doesnt have this awful uneven lines nor is it orange!!!! I finally have found the lotion that does it for me!!! I was so excited!!! I thought my goodness I can actually wear shorts now and not blind people!!! Later that night I did finish applying it to the rest of my legs to even them out. lol.

Overall I think this product is fantastic and I will be ordering ALOT more since I dont tan (I burn) but I want that golden look. You can buy this now on amazon by clicking here. I did get my first bottle free for review from tomoson.com but regardless I would never recommend something that I didnt believe in!
