JAZZY BRUNO Snout Balm

I received this in exchange for a review, and it came to me at just the right time. It's winter of course, and our pets are outside most of the day. This stuff is like their own personal lip balm, but for their noses and feet! There's no scent, it's easy to apply, and I love that they have it. I'm sure they do too, even though they can't tell me. No one likes having dryness and cracked stuff happening! You can get them some on Amazon.

Here's their link:
Go check them out!

So I got this 24 pack of washcloths in the other day...and I have decided that they shall be my kitchen cleaning cloths! I feel that they are sort of on the rough side, which I guess you could use to shower with. But they do such a great job scrubbing and cleaning up elsewhere. Also...since they are white, you could dye them to match your kitchen colors or whichever you choose.
 
I did receive these in exchange for an honest review of the towels.

Was so happy when I got these in!! Mine had finally died and I was running off of a coworker's cord while at work. I did receive these two cords in exchange for an honest review. Since it's not an APPLE cord from Apple it will say "not charging" while it is in fact CHARGING. In this pack you get two sizes in length which is 6ft ( I keep at home) and the 3ft that I carry with me in my purse. I just have an iPad, but I wish I could get a deal like this for my Galaxy S5 as well. 
Mainly because I don't have any other Apple devices, other than my daughter's phone and she has her cords. Anyway, you can score this 2 packer on Amazon.com and if you have Prime, you'll have your new cords in two days!

I've been taking a couple of different pills the last week or so. One is a cleansing agent made with oats, alfalfa leaf, Rhubarb, and some other ingredients. This pill is the cleansing part of the diet kit. It helps you lose water weight (easiest part to lose), which I've lost 3lbs of this week. I take two of these before each meal, or I'm suppose to. I am notorious for forgetting to take pills, that's how I had my daughter 15 years ago! lol....
Anyway, the next pill is the Garcinia Cambogia which I have wrote about before on here. This is a fruit native to Asia, and I'm sure you all know is a appetite suppressant. Can you just take these and lose weight? 
Maybe...at least water weight. But, just like with anything, eating right and exercising is really all it takes. I lost 60lbs in 3 months just walking everyday. I still ate what I wanted. I DID quit drinking sodas and just drank water. But I didn't change my junk food, or much of anything else. Here I am 7yrs later, with all that weight back on though because I quit walking. I've since moved back to my hometown, and I work a lot of hours. So I try to find something like this to help me at least kick start some weight loss so I can get fired up about it! 
Anyway...if you need that same boost of confidence and fire under your ass like I do, you can get this pair at Amazon from Advanced BioScience. I did receive this in exchange for an honest review of the product. You can also check out my video review on the two here on my YouTube channel. Thanks for checking this out, and let me know you're there by liking, or following. My youtube isn't just for reviews, it's full of other videos that my crazy family and I do.

Velour Towels

I received these super soft hand towels in exchange for a review the other day. I was kind of worried because they're white, and white doesn't stay white in this house. Maybe if it were a single person's home, but not in this home where I have at least three teenagers running around almost all the time. And then you have my husband and son whom I constantly clean up after. So, if I ever had any white towels...they're aren't that way now. 
When I received these, I didn't even want to take them out of the packet, however, how can I do a review without using them? 
Here we go, Now, these towels are 100% cotton, but they have a velour finish to them that makes them beyond soft. That made me think they'd be horrible at drying ANYTHING. But they actually do pretty good. I have two in the teens bathroom and two in mine, and I haven't had any issues with drying hands or faces. Right where my thumb is in this picture, you can see the sewn finish to help keep them from unraveling later on. I haven't owned them long enough to see that it works, but that's what it's there for. I do wish I could've gotten bigger towels. Bath size would be nice. 
I did get to order these on Amazon.com which is where you can get your set of 4 11x18 inch hand towels from Creative Scents.

National Consumer Panel

As you guys are well aware, I do product reviews. I do them on things I buy, things I get for free in exchange for a review, and just because I feel like it. I have a lot of fun doing them, especially if it's helping someone else out. 
I have recently stumbled across another pretty neat deal, and I wanted to share the info with you guys. It's called National Consumer Panel. And I just started so I haven't really gotten into a whole lot yet, but here's the scoop and the benefits.

Below...is their website and some more information. Basically, for a minimum of once a week, you scan your receipts. You can do it every time you shop, or just one big Wal-Mart trip. Doesn't matter if it's your gas station receipt for candy and pop, or Dollar General for toilet paper. You earn points and rewards. Plus there's little surveys you can do from time to time to get you more points. 
And every month there's a winner of a $500 NCP Visa Pre-paid card! Plus shopping sprees too!

First thing I noticed about this water filter is that it's smaller than the other one I had gotten a while back. Which isn't a bad thing. Just means it'll fit wherever I need it. I haven't totally jumped on the "economy collapse survival needs" bandwagon, but I have gathered a few things here and there for the "just in case". And in case something bad happens, you'll need a way to have clean water, because you can't survive without water. 

This lil guy comes with filters and activated carbon granules that contain Ionic Silver which is apparently one of the strongest antibacterials in the world. It says it will filter up to 400 gallons of water, I have not tested it on anything bigger than 8oz at home. I did receive this for free in exchange for an honest review. You can get one of these on Amazon and be prepared for your next outdoors adventure.

Arvazallia Protein Hair Mask

When's the last time you used a hair mask? You know, to help with damaged hair and lack of luster? You've got to try some of Arvazallia's new hair mask. It smells so good! And it's amazing for your hair! This stuff is creamy and packed full of argan oil and aloe vera extract. My hair is noticeably softer feeling and it's been helping with my dead ends.

You definitely should try this stuff the next time you're in the market for a hair mask. You can get it on Amazon and get free two shipping if you're a Prime member like me. You don't want to miss out on this stuff. I did receive this in exchange for an honest review.

10 feet of WHAT?! Whoo Hoo!

Good morning bloggees!!! Long time no see! Trying to settle in after the big move, and staying tied down with school work. But I thought I'd take a minute and talk about this really cool cord I got for my iPad. I love this cord! It's from Reach Cables and I got it off Amazon. It's braided and I have yet to have issues with tangles or knots! One thing I noticed but hasn't really bothered me is the fact that the device says not charging even when it is. I'm assuming it's because it's not an "Apple registered" cord. But it DOES charge, so if that happens it's no big deal. My daughter is mad because she wants one too lol Maybe as a stocking stuffer? Anyway, I love the added slack I get while charging and playing. I did receive this cord free in exchange for an honest review, and I love it! My phone is being stupid and I can't my pic of the cord on here for some reason, but if you click on the Amazon link above, it'll take you to the page so you can see it, and order! Thanks guys, and I'll see ya'll soon!

Kabuki Yachiyo Brush

This brush has turned out to be such an amazing application brush for my makeup!! It's so soft to the touch, and made with all natural hair. I've been attempting to learn how to do definition and contouring, and this brush has really helped me out since it's angled in such a way that you can get every hidden area. The handle grip is amazingly easy to handle while using it. I also found that I had not seen any loose bristles, meaning none had fallen out while doing my face which is awesome since I've had that issue before with other brushes. All in all I'd say this is definitely a brush worth the try if you're looking for a great contouring brush. I'll update this blog and post a pic of the brush later so you can get one. But here is the link to use if you head over to Amazon. I did receive this brush in exchange for an honest review. Maybe if I get through this remodel and move, I'll have a makeup day and show you what this brush can do :)

RINGS...RINGS...RINGS!!!

These are pretty nice to have for a quick little touch up for a night out. Even though they're knuckle rings, I can use a couple as pinky rings. I haven't stacked them up like other people do just because I wear them to work sometimes, and since I lift furniture all day, I need to be able to bend my fingers freely. LOL... I don't think it matters how you wear them because they're cute no matter what. You can get yourself a set of these as well on Amazon. I did receive these for free in exchange for an honest review.

Snap-On Re-Usable Tan Carbon Electrode Pads

If you remember a little while back, I had received a tens unit which was my husband's favorite thing I've gotten. I'm pretty sure he uses it more than me. Which is why these extra electrode pads will come in way handy! I received these for free in exchange for an honest review of the product. They come two to a pack, and as long as you put the plastic protector back on them, they'll last for a good while. It's all in how you take care of them. Leave them out to get all dusty and loose their stick, well...you won't be using your tens unit very much. And around this house, that tens unit gets put to use for sure. These reusable pads are tan in color as you can see above, and of course have their buttons to attach to the cords of the tens unit. You can get your replacement pads over on Amazon for like $12.95 for the set of 10 with free shipping if you're a Prime member like me. I don't think you can go wrong to make sure you stock up on these lil dudes. 
You can check out the video review at Monique Antoinette on YouTube.  Or just watch it here.

Dark Light Waterproof Headlamp

This LED headlamp can go underwater at any depth without messing up, but it is NOT an underwater lamp. So please don't use it as such or you'll mess it up I'm sure. lol
However...if for example you're wearing it, and fall in the water knocked unconscious. You can be found because it has an SOS light that will strobe if it's been submerged for longer than 5 minutes which is pretty cool! Also, you can use it in emergencies when trying to flag someone down if you use the red and white light strobes simultaneously. This thing is pretty cool! And I got a bright LED light for my keychain with it! I did get this for free in exchange for a review once I've played with it. It's pretty cool! And lightweight too!

Valentina Paris Wine Glasses

I'm in love! These beautiful, hand painted wine glasses are huge! They arrived at such a perfect time for me. We're in the middle of huge remodel, so my husband and I are stressed to the max. And, I had broke my wine glass recently. These babies showed up, and are huge! I love how the pastel colored paint looks with and without wine.
I am so glad I had the opportunity to get a set of these for free in exchange for a review. I have never seen any like this before, so I'm super happy I have them! I just need to be more careful this time...and not break anymore. lol
You can get some of your own on Amazon. I do believe they are currently out, there was a shipping error or something. Mine came in great! So, if you like them, then add them to your wish list and you can order as soon as they come back in.

Celtic Cross Aromatherapy Locket

I absolutely love this locket! I fell in love with the design first off, but when I kept reading that it was actually a diffuser, I got super excited to review it. First off...I love the Celtic design, and the locket itself is easy to open. It comes with a little cloth inside that you can drop some essential oil onto and smell the aroma all day long. I need to get me some new oil because all I really have is lavender and clove. Those are too strong for me to take in. For me anyway. The locket hangs on a silky smooth string or rope which is nice because I break out easily with certain chains. You can go check this out on Amazon and see what it looks like. You can also order new little cloths as well. I had a chance to receive this for free in exchange for an honest review.

Solana Adjustable Wood Desk Easel with Drawers

This came in really handy for my kiddo...she has been on a canvas painting kick this last year, which is pretty cool. Sometimes she doodles...sometimes it has quotes. She even painted me a quoted canvas for my birthday. So when I had a chance to receive this adjustable wood easel desk, I just knew she'd love it! I love that it was big enough to use her medium size canvases on. She always uses those or smaller. 

And she loves that there's storage for her paints and stuff inside as well. She was able to take this on her week long trip to her aunts house and have everything handy for when she felt like painting. The wood is all real sturdy, and the drawer opens and closes real easily as well. You can head over to Amazon and check this and other products by them out. You can even get a whole set up with canvases, paints and all if you are just starting out. I did receive this for free in exchange for an honest review. I would've took a picture of hers, but that requires me to go into her room and find it. LOL
Have you went through a 14yr old's room to find something before...it's dangerous. lol

Turmeric Curcumin with Bioperine

Curcumin is usually the main ingredient in Turmeric, and is used as an anti-inflammatory. It's also used as an antioxidant. On top of that, it has pretty strong medicinal properties that date back hundreds of years. Think of it as a brain and body food, or spice to add to your daily diet. These extract pills are easy to swallow, and don't leave you with any uproar of after taste. I've also read that it's anti-inflammatory properties are stronger than some pharmaceuticals out there, and without the harmful side effects too. 
Some even think that curcumin can help to reverse the effects of heart disease. With all the health benefits you can find tied to this wonderful herbal extract, why would you not add it into your daily intake. I haven't been taking this but just a few weeks, and after all the benefits I've hear and read about, it seems like Turmeric Curcumin should be in everyone's cabinet.
I did receive a bottle of this for free in exchange for a review. You can get a bottle yourself at Amazon and start a new healthy you.

U.S. Art Supply Marker Sketch Pad

My daughter loves using her markers on this paper, but it is a glossy type of paper that is used for sketching. However, erasing is a bit difficult since it leaves behind that dirty smear look. Which can be good for shading lol but not if it's on accident. So you'll probably want to stick to markers or some form of ink that is bold and bleeds some. I'm sure there's plenty of people out there that can think outside of the box and get pretty creative with this book. Anyway, it's a good size book with plenty of sheets for the price. It was wrapped and packaged well, so it arrived in perfect condition. I would recommend U.S. Art Supply to friends and family. I did receive this free in exchange for a review. And you can get yourself one and some more of their products on Amazon

Balaclava Mask!!

So this thing is pretty cool! Lol 
It's a balaclava (bah-la-clah-vah) that can be worn 6 different ways. It can be used in the winter, riding motorcycles, hunting, or however else you see fit I guess. Maybe some role playing in the bedroom. Hint Hint. 
The material is a thermal type that's actually 100% polyester and real breathable. Plus it stretches pretty good too. I think it's cool that it comes as a set of 2, so you can give one to your partner or friend if you want. Just not your partner in crime lol
But seriously...this is a nice thing to have around if you're outdoors a lot. And...if you have a survival bag, you can place the extra one in there. Anyway...you can get yours on Amazon. I did receive these free in exchange for a review.
