Organic Seaweed powder

So my sister in law has me into the whole organic beauty kick right now so I was pretty excited ot be able to try this out since its Organic Seaweed powder facial mask!



First thing I noticed is that its quite a big jar (score 1!). I love when I get products and they come in big jars because it just means I can use it longer before I have to order it again. Anyhow, When I opened it up, there was no overpowering smell like I had read in reviews. It a very little scent and its not a dirty smell either. So after opening and smelling it, I put the lid back on to be able to read the directions. This is a powder so you have to be careful when tilting the jar or moving it so powder doesnt go anywhere!


Ok so back to what I was doing. The directions are pretty easy. It say mix 1 teaspoon of powder and 2 teaspoons of warm water. Apply mixture to face, wait 10-15 minutes, then wash off with warm water. Well I followed the directions to the t and it came out looking like playdough. lol. I add to add a little bit more water to make it a smooth texture that would clump on my face. you can see which side has the clumpiness and which side is smooth. Also when I mixed it together, the seaweed smell finally hit me. lol. If you dont like the smell you can put a little bit of oil in it- I used lavender.


So I sat there for 15 minutes with it on my face. During that time I could feel my face tightening up. I love that feeling-its right up there with pedicures. lol. Anyways, I went to wash it off and my face felt great. It felt tighter and it looker brighter. I was really impressed with how it worked so well!

So I will be buying a jar of this when I run out and I do believe my sister-in-law just order herself a jar, so if you want to order yours now, please click here!

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.

Body Merry Hyaluronic Acid Serum + 2.5% Retinol Serum Review

So Im 30 and have mean skin. When I say that I mean that some days its pretty and smooth and other days its broken out and ugly! So I was happy to be able to try out these two products because I have read up on hyaluronic acids and retinol. Ive stopped using other products in order to use give a unbias review on this. 

When I started using the acid serum, I was not so sure I was going to see results. Im one of those people want results now and have had to learn patience. lol. After using it for a week I started to notice a difference! The breakouts were becoming less and less frequent. The pimples were becoming smaller and less noticeable. After using it for a couple weeks now, I am in love! My face hasnt broken out in 3 days(thats a long time!). It looks smooth and fresh!

Ok so I cant give all the credit just to the acid since I started using Body Merry's retinol serum too! I love how both products are vegan so I can use them at the same time and not have to worry about burning my face. 

The retinol is made to help wrinkles and fine lines. I mostly used this around my mouth (I have smile wrinkles. lol). Within a couple of weeks, those fine small lines have smoothed out. I am able to smile or look normal without looking like I have scratch marks on my face. lol. Combined together, these 2 serums, work amazing! While you can use one without the other, I recommend you do both together for max results!






If you want to buy the Hyaluronic Acid, click here. to buy the Retinol Serum, click here. They are both well worth the price(they are lot less expensive than others and work great!)

Adovia anti wrinkle moisturizer cream

I have always been a fan of products that have dead sea minerals in it. I was really excited to see that this product has that to include collagen, and retinol (2 ingredients that are also awesome in the anti aging process). Im still fairly young (Im 30) but I started to battle the aging process already!


When I first opened the box, I saw that it was in a really pretty jar so it doesnt look cheap. After opening the jar, a very pleasant soft smell hit my nostrils-it reminds me of the cream my mom used when i was growing up-good memories for sure. You know how sometimes when you open something it smells dirty and makes you not want to use it-well this is so the opposite! i just wanted to bathe in it, it smelt so good! Its super thick and creamy!


After using it, I started to notice my smile wrinkles were getting smaller(not that they were huge but I could see them when I looked in mirror). It also started to make my crows feet a little less noticeable (happy dance!). In addition to making my facial features better, it works amazing as a moisturizer. It is very creamy and feels great when putting it on.

Ebook Snakes by Dan Jackson

So this is my first ebook review so bear with me! I was particularly interested in this one because my 10 year old son is obsessed with snakes to the point he wants a live one (I said no!). My son, Cameron, was super excited when he turned on Kindle to read his books and found out mom had downloaded this book for him!




Before I let Cameron read it, I read it myself (I have a degree in Biology so I like stuff like this). I was in awe about how vivid the photos were and it was a really good read! It was very easy to understand yet factual. I couldnt seem to put down the tablet- my husband was wondering what was wrong. lol


So when Cameron got a hold of it, he sat there and read it so fast. Then he went back and re-read it again over and over and over. I have learned so much and have it ingrained into my memory about all the different snakes in the book. He told me about the colors, shapes, sizes, and facts about snakes. He absolutely loved it!!!



Well here comes science report time for first 9 weeks and what does Cameron want to do it on-snakes! At this point he had already read the book about 20 times but he still wanted to do his report over snakes. This ended up being a great reference book for him along with others that he used for his science report.

I highly recommend this for any child, boy or girl. Its so colorful yet educational at the same time. Mr. Dan Jackson writes it in such a way that the kids have fun reading and dont even realize that they are learning! If you want to buy it right now, just click here and download it on your kindle/tablet and make your kiddo happy today!

Azure Naturals Vitamin C Serum Review and Giveaway!

I had the pleasure of trying out Azure Naturals Vitamin C Serum. First off, I love Vitamin C serums for a few reasons. They help restore the beauty of your skin as well as the elasticity of it. Some vitamin c serums arent that great and others are fantastic. I just happen to really like this one after using it! lol


I used this on my scars as I have always hear that it is good for that in addition to using on my hands. I have had 6 knee surgeries on my right leg and the scarring is pretty ugly. Its always been a purple reddish color. After using this product for about 2 weeks, I started to notice my scars were getting lighter and less noticeable!!!! I was so happy because for years I have tried to cover up my knee. Other than the fact that its still fat and swollen, it looks great! you can barely see the scars!!!


So it worked great on my scars but you wanna know how it worked on my hands. It worked just as great! I have very dry hands to the point that they peel-attractive I know. lol. So when I started using this, I would add a few drops to the top of my hands and rub it in. It quickly absorbed into my skin and was like an instant moisturizer. It didnt feel heavy or greasy. Over the course of 3 weeks, I started to notice that my hands were not peeling anymore and that they were actually becoming soft!
No peeling anymore!!!!


Ive been using this for about a month now and have not had any weird side effects. I like how this product is made form natural ingredients-if it wasnt i would know because I have super sensitive skin and breakout. So instead of paying $130 dollars for just the name on a bottle, I high suggest you check out Azure. The quality is just as good if not better. You can buy it on Amazon right now by clicking this link.

Chapstick dual ended Hydration Lock

So when I get the chance to try this out through Smiley360, I jumped in it! I am always looking for a chapstick that actually works and doesnt leave me wanting to eat all of it off my lips (I dont intentionally do it but some taste so good. lol)


LEt me first tell you a little about the product before I go into a review over it. Its a double chapstick tube meaning at one end it has one kind of chapstick and at the other end it has a different kind that has a different effect. So one end is for daytime and it has SPF 15 in it (score!) and then the other end is for night time which has the hydration in it that last over night.

When I first started using this, I noticed that its a little bit bigger than a normal chapstick tube which made me wonder if how they fit both kinds in the tube. Turns out that each end is equal but not as much as in a tube that you buy if it was just one product but thats ok!


I dont wear alot of makeup so whenever I put something on, I notice the weight of it. To me when I used the daytime chapstick it felt great. I didnt even notice it was there! I did reapply it a couple of times due to me eating and drinking (I was afraid it was coming off). As for the night time one, it worked just as great. I woke up the next morning with plump lips as well as smooth lips. They werent cracked or ugly anymore!


The think I like the most about this was that it was 2 products in one tube rather than having 2 tubes and worrying about where I put one at. Its very convenient to carry around in a your purse or in your wallet if you dont like to carry a purse. I highly recommend this to anyone, gal or guy! If you click this link, you can get a $.50 cent off coupon!

I did get this product for free through Smiley360 for my unbias opinion.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Joyal Beauty

Lately it feels like all Ive getting to review are vitamin C serums and Hyaluronic acids so I have enlisted the help of all the women in my family and some men (I have alot of sister in laws and in laws). So this product was tested my dad after I tried it a few times of course. lol. So we have Joyal Beauty's Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

I like this product for a couple of reasons. I like the fact that its 100% Vegan and has no harsh chemicals in it that can burn your skin. I also like the fact that it has a pump on it rather than a dropper. I always end up putting too much with the dropper ones.



Anyhow I tested this out on my hands. Alot of people wouldnt think to test it on there hands but I wanted to do something other than my face cause my dad did his face. After using it for about a week, i noticed a huge difference in how soft they were! The calluses were not as hard and ugly and the sun spots on my hands had lightened up. I used very little each time as a little bit goes a long way so dont over do it thinking you need alot!

Ok so now onto my dad. He is 68 going to be 69 in about 2 months and tries to take care of himself but age has taken its toll on him. He was really excited to try something new that he has never tried before to see if it helped with his aging (my dad is pretty secure in his manhood to be able to do this! lol).




That is my dads before pic. My dad is Native American so he has aged well and has beautiful skin. I dont think he looks that bad in this pic but to each his own! Anyways, every night he applied a small amount to his face. He said it was very light and he didnt feel like he was putting shaving cream on his face (i guess he doesnt have anything else to compare it to. lol)

Above is dads after pic. He looks more youthful and I can tell when you get up close that the fine wrinkles are slowly going away. My stepmom of course who is 4 years younger than he is extremely jealous and wants me to get some for her to use. lol

So the fact is that both men and women can use this product! Dont be shy and orders yours today by clicking this link.
