Azure Naturals ULTIMATE LIME INFUSED ORGANIC RETINOL

This stuff is so amazing! I love the way it makes my skin feel after applying it, The scent is nice to be around while using, which sometimes isn't the case with some serums and creams. I don't have wrinkles or fine lines yet, I know I will get them, sovI use this anyway to help postpone them. Retinol is actually one of the most effective ways to help prevent or reduce fine lines and/or wrinkles. It's an antioxidant that helps to promote healthier skin growth, and the Vitamin A helps to open pores for easier skin renewal and cleansing. I use this in conjuction with my other Azure products I've written about. I'm still learning to get on a consistent daily regime for my face and body. I received this in exchange for an honest review. You can get yourself some of this to try out on Amazon like a lot of my stuff.

The EXPANDABLE HOSE!!! :)

Every year I fight with our garden hose. I use it to water my new garden area, patio plants, and bathe the dogs. And the kids use it to play with in the summer time, so when my lawn guy comes, he has to throw it in the corner. And it's not like it gets wrapped up nicely, so I have to detangle and dekink in order to use it. I love using this hose!!! It hasn't kinked at all on me. It's 100 feet of lightweight dekinkiness ready to use whenever I want! We had a nice day here couple weeks back, almost like springtime. So, I decided to use my new Expandable Hose to wash the car down. I didn't have to fight it like I was wrestling an anaconda!! LOL...this hose is pretty neat! I need another one for the front yard too!

Azure Naturals Cucumber Infused Eye Gel

This eye gel from Azure actually helps take care of quite a bit of different issues. It helps with dark circles, wrinkles, helps to plump and tone, and has a few benefits for your skin as far as firming your skin. It's suppose to help reduce or reverse the signs of aging. I actually use it all over my face, even if it is titled Eye Gel. It's not harsh, in fact it's rather fine feeling. Of course, it's organic and contains no GMO's or alcohol which is always a plus for me! 
I love the way my skin feels afterwards. I actually try and use it the recommended twice daily, but sometimes forget. I'm still getting use to having a daily regime of facial products, so I haven't gotten on the path of totally consistent. But I will get there. And you should try too if you're like me and don't have one, or your trying to make a new habit of it. I received this product in exchange for an honest review.

AYL Apple Lightning 3ft Charging Cable

Having 3ft to work with on any electronic charger is amazing! This allows all the space needed for still working on your phone or tablet while it is charging. The connections are strong and don't feel like the cheap flimsy kind you get at a gas station or something. I need a few of these in every charger in the house so we don't fight over them. Also one for my daughter because she complains hers is too short for the car jacks and to be comfortable while charging her phone. I received this for free in exchange for an honest review.

LED Bike Lights

These are so cool! I got these because it showed a picture of them being used on bike tires at night. But then when I got the package...it says you can use them on car valves too!! I'm not sure how legal that is around here where I live...but I'm sure in a big city where you can have undercarriage lights it would be okay. For now, my son uses them on his bike. Since it's cold out I haven't let him ride too much, so he hasn't got the full use out of them. But come spring time, he'll be the flashest thing on the block! You can order the LED valve lights on Amazon. They'd make a cool little gift. I received these for an honest review.

Popper Stoppers?? For the belly!!!

Miss Oops has a lot of great fashion flunder fixes, beauty fixes, and even pregnancy fixes. That's what I got to try out...the Miss Oops Popper Stopper. Well, it wasn't for me because this baby factory is sadly shut down. Plus, I never popped like that anyway.  However, my friend has with each kid. So this time I got her something to help with that. She loves these! She's never tried anything like this before. I remember one time she had worn some shirt in the summer time that I guess just rubbed her wrong on her bellybutton and she complained for days how it left it itchy and raw. This time, she's popping through the winter. So this will help with her itchy sweaters she likes to wear. Our bodies and skin change so much during pregnancy that her itchy sweaters aren't itchy to her normally like they are me. But right now, she's been trying to stray away. She really enjoys having this little cover ups so she can wear her favorite red sparkly one for the holidays. They're simply to apply and don't irritate. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

Organic Total Hair Repair Oil

I was super excited to try this repair oil out. My daughter and I both suffer from dry split ends a lot of times. Hers is mainly from straightening her hair everyday with no heat protection. Mine...well...mine is from years of boredom hair coloring. So when this came in I couldn't wait to use it. The first time I put it on, I thought just as all oil, a lot goes a long way. So don't use too much. You don't need to. And I worked it in from midway down to my ends which are the worst. I just blow dryed a little then styled as usual with my hair. With my daughter, I worked some into her hair midway down to the ends, and she proceeded to straighten as usual. Her hair was so sleek feelings. It doesn't weigh your hair down like most hair products do. I like that you can use it to heal your hair and style at the same time. The Total Hair Repair Oil contains Jojoba oil and Argon oils which are two of my favorite. Foxbrim itself is one of my two favorite companies. I was so glad they let me get a bottle to try. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

One Sunday Evening with the Tree

So...this is kinda off the normal talk for my review blog...but with it being Christmas time and all I thought I'd share.
It's time to put up the tree...unless you're one of the ones who jumps to set up Thanksgiving night or earlier. I'm a procrastinator and lucky for us, we inherited my father in-law's huge tree that's like 20yrs old. My husband, hates this tree because for the last 10yrs he has been the one dragging the crumbling tree box down his dad's steep stairs with tubs of ornaments following. For 10yrs he has been the one setting it up...fluffing branch after branch, layer on top of layer, and mastering the technique of balancing and wedging the topper on the pole all in one Sunday evening.
This year, he got a break. He's temporarily working evenings, which left me and the kids in charge of carting the three totes of tree and decor out of the garage. This....is day 4! Day 4 of me piece by piece each night working on this tree. No joke. And since it's bigger than any tree I've EVER owned, I decided this year to do a couple rows and then add lights, do a couple more rows, add more lights. Then I ran out of lights. I threw away four 100 count strands of multi-colored lights. Then when I thought I was finally done, plugged, what I thought was my last strand needed, into an outlet so I could make sure THEY worked. They did. So I take them over to tree...stretch them out...plug them to another strand to continue my way to the top, and .......this happened.
Yeahhhhhh....I guess I thought they all worked because it was still kind of balled up when I tested them, and I just glanced at it. The other four strands I trashed didn't light at all, so I just assumed. And assuming got me no where. LOL...well it got me to the fact that: I had to go buy two more boxes of 100 light strands. And...I still need yet one more to light the tree. I haven't worked on it tonight because I've been on here taking care of business, but, this will be 5 days since I started on this tree...four of which I worked on it. Tomorrow my hubby and I are both off, hopefully between family dinner at the parent's house and messing with breaking the horse...we'll have time to finish. However, yet again, he'll probably have it all done in one Sunday evening...like always. 
It's only because I did most of the work...ssshhh  :)
These were like a blessing in a bottle for us. Our boxer has been having trouble for a while. She either goes slow or not at all when it comes to jumping in the truck or off the couch. There's days when she's bouncing or wiggling like a normal hyper boxer does, and then there's days where she just doesn't want to do anything but lay and wag her nub. The vet had said it could be the onset of arthritis. I'm glad I had the chance to review these in exchange for telling everyone what I thought, because these have helped her be able to move more and she sure does have more days where she wiggles! Just like a boxer should lol. These babies are packed with omega oils, vitamins and anti-oxidants and are said to help rebuild cartilage. I haven't taken advantage of the multi-bottle discount yet, but I suggest doing so if you can. This joint supplement by Peachy Dog is a great thing to have. They're chewable and it's almost like giving you kids their vitamins.I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

Magnetic Screen Door

I was so excited to get this!! I've always wanted one, and this made my day when it finally came in. We have a sliding door that no longer has a screen door on it (dogs ran into it and took it out lol), so we just leave the sliding door open. Then guess what happens...flies, and lots of them. It drives me nuts! I want to have that breeze flowing in, but I want the bugs to stay out, and the dogs ruined my screen door. 
Using this Magnetic Screen Door though is so easy. You can walk right through, and the dogs can run through. Although they paused the first few times lol. It wasn't hard to put up at all, in fact, I didn't even need the hubby's help. I would love to put one on the front door to so I can really get that big breeze blowing through the house...but my dogs know how to use it to escape. So...they get their freedom to the back yard, and I'll just enjoy the one screen door I have. 
Can't wait til Spring starts so I can hang this back up!
Here's the link to get one of these things. I really suggest getting one, especially if you don't have a screen door at all.

Organic Matcha - Ceremonial Grade - Green Tea Powder

Grown in Japan, this can packs a ball of energy, Polyphenols and EGCG. EGCG, also known as, Epigallocatechin Gallate, is a potent antioxidant and helps aid the fight against cancer and other illnesses. This also has a slight sweetness to it that you can barely taste. Now, of course you can make tea with this...after all, that's what it's for. But you can bake with it as well. You can make cupcakes and such. I did a little research because I like to get creative, and you can make pancakes and waffles too. I wonder if you can make cookies and cakes. Anyway, we've all heard that green tea is healthy for you, so it only makes sense to make things out of it. Right? 
I love the fact that I can make my own tea, or whatever right here at home or at work. And since this powder increases your metabolism, it should be ok to bake all these sweets with it. LOL...I'm trying to find a loophole here. But seriously, if you love green tea, this is really a great catch. You can get you some on Amazon from Kiss Me Organics at this link below. 


At least give it a try.

Permanently Remove Pet Stains and Pet Odors From Carpets

So...
I got to use this stuff as soon as I got home today. Needless to say, one of these dogs of mine just couldn't hold it in today. When the kids and I got home today, we were smacked in the face with a horrible smell, only to find the mess by the back door. So I got the scrub brush and the  Pet Urine Odor and Stain Remover bottle that I received a couple days ago, and proceeded to clean. Now, I've noticed that some people say they leave it on the stain for a couple hours or overnight, I didn't. I just put some elbow grease in and the stain and smell are gone. I think I'm going to try it out on some older stains too and see if the cleaner works on those as well. If it does, well, I may have just found my new best cleaning buddy!
