Ultrasonic Dog Training Whistle

I've actually never used a dog whistle before. And I'm not very good at dog training either. lol
So I was sort of excited when I received this in exchange for a review. I could finally try one out and see how it works and how I do. This one came with a little training and tip guide of how to use it with your dogs. So I'm learning as my dogs are. It also comes with a little key chain link to add to your keys. I guess if you take your dog out for walks or potty. My dogs have a big fenced yard so the key chain isn't necessary for me, but useful for others I'm sure. It's not very big, so it's not uncomfortable to hold or use. You can even tie it to string or rope to wear around your neck while you're out working with your dogs. Like all things new, it doesn't happen overnight. So hopefully as it warms up, I can train myself and my dogs more with it.

Auto Rotating Curling Iron

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this curling iron!

I never really curl my hair because I don't have time. It just seems like a lot of work, and a headache for me. But when I had the chance to try and review this automatic curling iron from Xtava, I jumped right on because I loved the last product I received from them.
And let me tell ya...this iron is freaking awesome! First of all, it has a super long cord which makes for easier use in general so you don't have to lean your head a certain way, or bend weird because your plug is too far down. But what's really neat is that you can turn it on, and adjust the heat temperature to where you want it.
Now the super cool part is the fact that is has a button for left rotation and right rotation. So, you section off your hair like you do when you curl it. You clasp your hair in, and then hit the button you want to rotate it with. After a few seconds, you hit the other button to un-rotate it a bit, and then let out as usual. I have only done spirals with it, as I'm not much of a curling iron user, but I want to try different direction curls next. This iron is so easy to use, my teen daughter (who would rather straighten her hair) even enjoyed using it. In fact, she used it first. I now keep it in my room so I know where it's at for when I want to use it. LOL
This is a pretty cool tool that I received in exchange for an honest review. And I love it! You can find this awesome iron on Amazon.

PEPPERMINT OIL

This peppermint oil smells so good!! If you like the smell of peppermint lol. My husband thinks it's a little strong, but it airs out pretty good. I like to use it in the bathroom. If you put some on the toilet paper roll, the cardboard part, it smells every time to use the roll. I also read up on some uses of it, and it says that it also helps with headaches, helps to calm down asthma symptoms, and can also be used to control dandruff. One thing I really found intriguing but haven't tried yet, is the fact that it helps to reduce inflammation caused by arthritis. I like to sprinkle drops on the carpet throughout the house when I'm cleaning, since it smells so good but apparently can also help detract fleas or mice. (The cats haven't caught the one mouse in the house yet lol)
I've read how some people can make a scrub using this oil and some other ingredients. This is really a mutli-purpose product that everyone should have in their home. 
I did receive this for free in exchange for an honest review of the oil. I wonder what other kinds are out there to use as I did this one.

Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Pad Bed Topper


 
This foam mattress topper is AMAZING on my son's twin bed! I slept on it the other night because he wanted to sleep with my husband and I, and he took up the whole other half of our king bed! So I went into his room to sleep and I enjoyed it almost as much as my super pillow top. Most memory foam to me feels stiff, I mean I sell furniture for a living and have laid on my fair share of memory foam mattresses and have yet to fall in love with any of them. This foam topper keeps you from having to spend hundreds on a new mattress. This topper adds comfort to your mattress immediately. Three inches of four pound density memory foam used in this topper is specifically designed to enhance the feel of your current mattress and help you get a good nights sleep because it's like you have a brand new bed!
I would let it air out when you get it though. It comes vacuum sealed for shipping purposes, but when you open it up it has a distinct smell. The foam doesn't contain any bad stuff like chemicals or formaldehyde though. And it doesn't make it bad to sleep on the first night...the smell might just be annoying. But like I said...you can let it air out and it'll be just fine.
I did receive this in exchange for an honest review, and I love it!


YALMEH moisturizer

I'll just say I received this in exchange for an honest review.
Now this is the first product I've ever gotten from this company, and I must say I'm impressed. The bottle I got wasn't huge...in fact, it fits in my little makeup bag perfectly. I carry it with me in my purse. It's a very lightweight cream, non-greasy and packed with Vitamin C which is something I love in any facial creams. There's also Vitamin E in it as well which is a great antioxidant. You don't need a whole lot of it, to use it where you need it. So this bottle should last me a little while. I think based on my opinion of this product, I wouldn't mind trying their other stuff too.

Coosh Bluetooth Headset

I....am....IN LOVE....with these!! I can use them with my phone, AND my iPad which is what I use them for mostly. The sound quality is AMAZING! My husband was laughing at me because I was cooking dinner last night, singing "Someone Like You" with my headset on at the stove. My iPad was on the counter across the kitchen. lol
It came with an auxiliary cord and a common usb charging cord. One thing I haven't tried yet that I really want to, just haven't had a chance to, is seeing if they'll work with the Xbox One. I let my daughter try them on just to compare the quality since she owns a pair of Beats that look like my Coosh set. She was quite impressed! And she should know, because she has her Beats glued to her head. LOL
I'm cooler though because my set is wireless and hers isn't. So...I win! I did receive this set of headphones for free in exchange for an honest review of the product. My opinion? Well...you tell me!


100% Plant Based Konjac Sponge Infused with French Green Clay


                                  Plant Based Facial Scubby??


Tis true, I love my plant scrubby. It cracks me up to say that, but it is a totally natural sponge and I love using it! I have used it alone with just water, and I've also used it with a Vitamin C facial scrub. I use it while I'm in the shower. You need to get the sponge wet, don't have to soak it down, but I figured it out that I can control the level of coarseness by how much water I apply. Of course, the more wet you get it, the softer it is. It works better with non-lathering facial scrubs I've noticed. When I'm done with it, I just squeeze it flat between my hands. The instructions say not to twist or ring it out because you may damage the sponge. I guess because you could eventually rip it. So I squeeze it to let the majority of the water out, and then I hang it to dry on the shower caddy. It's a pretty neat little sponge. It also comes in different colors. You can actually get yourself one of these little dudes on Amazon. I did receive this Konjac Sponge for free in exchange for an honest review.

Lifeguard Apple Charging Cord

One thing I can never have too many of...CHARGERS! I don't care whether it's chargers for my phone, iPad Air, cameras...I just can't have enough. It never fails that at some point I need to charge something. So I was super excited when I got the chance to receive this in exchange for an honest review, because I definitely needed an extra charging cord for work. In fact, I keep this one in my purse...I use the box it came in for a storage case so it doesn't get messed up or lost in my bag. It can double as my car charger for my iPad for long trips, otherwise I use it for work mostly. I have one at home that stays plugged in there. I could actually use one more! LOL...for a "just in case". You can get one of these particular charge and sync cords on Amazon.

Lemon Oil

This stuff smell great! You can use it as a fragrance or use it in your water. Lemon oil is also a detox method as it helps to cleanse out the body. Now what's really awesome...is that you can make your whole house smell citrusy fresh with this stuff!! AND disinfect at the same time! You can clean just about everything in your house by just adding some drops of this awesome oil into your cleaning water. Everything from your counters, to your floors, to your clothing in the laundry. I have even added a few drops to my air filter to push the scent throughout the house. This stuff is amazing! I am so glad that I had a chance to receive this in exchange for an honest review of the product. I love that it only takes a few little drops to make magic happen, because this bottle will last me a while before I have to get another! You can check this Lemon Oil out on Amazon and get yourself some too!

Organic Argon Oil

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE using my Argon Oil!! Before I blow dry, I work some into my hair from about the middle down. Mostly concentrating on the ends because that's where most of my damage is...or shows anyway. A little goes a long way, so don't overdo the squirt. It's all natural, and it's not just for your hair. You can use it on your skin as well. I like to use it on super dry areas instead of just lotion. They sell this specific Argon Oil on Amazon. I got a bottle of this in exchange for an honest review of the product. I love it!

Joyal Beauty Royal Jelly Facial Serum

Jelly Serum is so awesome for the skin!! It's a powerful anti-oxidant that has witch hazel, aloe vera, jojoba oil, and honey in it that is all kinds of beneficial for your skin. If this was a bigger bottle I would totally use it for an all over serum because of all its great ingredients. In fact, one of the ingredients used is an herb called Centella Asiatica which has anti-inflammatory properties, but apparently can also help heal psoriasis and other skin conditions. It helps with wounds and burns too. It doesn't have too strong of a scent, and it leaves my skin feeling fresh and smooth. I have been very happy with this and enjoy using it as an every other day substitute. I had a chance to review this small bottle in exchange for an honest review of the product. 

Azure Naturals ULTIMATE SWEET ORANGE infused 15% Organic VITAMIN C Moisturizer

Azure Naturals has some great products, and this Sweet Orange moisturizer with Vitamin C is one of them! Vitamin C actually helps aid in sun damage and reducing fine lines due to aging. It's a powerful anti-oxidant that is wonderful for your skin. I love that it leaves my face feeling super smooth. Here lately in the last year, my skin has been getting dry pretty quickly. This helps to keep my skin hydrated and soft. It actually does not leave an oily feeling after using, and you do not need to use a lot. But like any other regime, you need to be consistently applying everyday in order to see the results and keep it up. I'm so glad that I got to receive this product and try it for free in exchange for an honest review. You can get some of this awesome Sweet Orange Moisturizer on Amazon from Azure Naturals.
