Montagne Jeunesse Manuka Honey Peel Off #MJPeelOffs #sponsored @influenster #voxbox #refreshvoxbox

Disclosure: I received this product complimentary through Influenster for testing purposes.

I was excited to try this new masque because my skin has been so dry. I received the Montagne Jeunesse new Manuka Honey Peel Off Face Masque to try out and I really liked it. I made me take a few minutes and just sit and relax. It felt really nice on my skin and I loved peeling it off. There is something so satisfying about doing that. I must say I had some revitalized, glowing skin after the masque. 

Cold days make for dry skin all over so I was happy to see Montaigne Janeusse Manuka Honey Masque tucked in my Refresh VoxBox. This made my skin feel and look great over the weekend so I was ready for my LONG week.

It is that time again....VoxBox time! What could be more fun than a box full of goodies? Wow, it is always exciting to get in on a Vox Box.

That's why they sent select members a Refresh VoxBox --just what I needed to cheer me up amidst all this SNOW.  If you are anywhere in the northeast or the mid-Atlantic you know what I mean...we need some perking up. I was so glad this box included a ton of healthy snacks and beauty goodies for me to try out.




There were two perfect for snack sized bags of Beanito's chips tucked into my box. If you enjoy a little crunch with your lunch but like to keep calories down and fiber up, these are going to be your new best friend! Beanito's taste great, have the crunch you want but are a healthier option. Yummy!

Grab an Orgain beverage and fill up your body with healthy grains and protein. It tastes good so it goes down easy too. I like to stash one in the car for emergencies.

WashGuard Lingerie Bags for Laundry Review + Giveaway #AmazonCart




I learned a long time ago that it is so much easier to throw lingerie in the washing machine. The key is cold water and a good zippered lingerie bag. Buy a few...they work great for stockings, undies, bras and even delicates like sweaters. 

I recently tried this ultra fine, zippered, mesh wash bag and I really like it. Perfect to protect all my delicate items.  Expensive blouses, hosiery, tights, bras and underwear stay snag free and protected in this zippered bag. No more snags, knots or pills caused by washing even on the delicate cycle.

They have several options in single and double packs of both medium and large size bags. Perfect for all your washing needs. This ultra fine, premium, mesh laundry bag is the SECRET to keeping your delicate clothing looking like new and the safest way to clean expensive lingerie, stockings and underwear.



This specially constructed wash bag is made of a high quality polyester mesh blend that protects fabric and causes no abrasion from the bag itself. This is my little secret shhhhh to saving the cost of replacing expensive garments because of damage or excessive wear due to washing, even on the delicate cycle and never deal with knotted hosiery again.



This special bag is safe to use in all wash cycles and with all kinds of detergents. WashGuard has shared that the construction and materials are very durable. They took their time in developing just the right bags. The medium bag measures approximately 12 x 16 inches, the right size for camisoles, blouses, skirts, dresses, a couple of scarves and 2-3 pairs of socks.

The large bag measures approximately 15 x 20 inches, great for everything our medium bag is designed for as well as sweaters, small throws, fine bedding (pillow cases, shams, dust ruffles or sheets), baby blankets and more.

Spare yourself the frustration caused by lost socks, knotted hosiery and stretched out sweaters. Sometimes a set of keys, a credit card or pocket change can end up in the laundry. Special fabric clothes (like moisture wicking sports material) end up nappy or torn.

This bag is constructed of ultra fine and silky soft non-abrasive mesh that won't harm your delicate fabrics.  Tightly stitched, these premium lingerie wash bags will protect your finest garments for years. These strong wash bags are made from stain, stretch and tear resistant material.

Opal Pink White and Blue Swarovski Crystal Charm works perfectly with my bracelet #charm



I love my Pandora bracelet and I enjoy adding new charms from time to time. The Pandora branded charms can be so expensive though and that used to limit my purchases. 

I found a wonderful source on Amazon where I can add to my bracelet for a lot less.  I recently received a gorgeous sparkling Opal with Pink, White and Blue Swarovski Crystal Charm which looks beautiful on my bracelet. It is made with care  from genuine 925 Sterling Silver. It fits perfectly too. Core 4.5mm - size 10mm x 8mm

Features of my Swaravski Crystal Charm:
  • Opals
  • Swarovski Crystals
  • 4.5cm Core
  • Fits Pandora and Other 3mm Bracelets
  • 10mm x 8mm
The colors just glitter and shine like I have never seen.  All the crystals are set securely in the charm. It appears to be very durable. It would be a lovely gift for anyone that enjoys adding to their charm bracelets without breaking the bank.  I have been wearing it all week and have received tons of compliments.  You can pick up this pretty opal pink, white and blue Swarovski Crystal Charm on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil & Massage Oil is a wonderful option for blending or using as a beauty oil #CoconutOil


I love to make my own DIY beauty with essential oils. I used to spend a bundle at the luxury boutiques and beauty stores but I know I don't need to anymore. It is so easy to use products like this fractionated coconut oil (for topical use only!) and combine it with a variety of essential oils to get the perfectly scented moisturizers that I love. It is inexpensive and even makes a great gift for friends. goPURE Naturals Coconut Oil has tons of benefits but it is great for using as a massage oil whether you add essential oils or not. The fractionated coconut carrier and massage oil by GoPure creates a protective barrier on your skin, but does not clog your pores. It provides a light-weight and non-greasy finish. It is composed of 100 percent natural Carrier Oil or pure base.

The shelf life of coconut oil with proper storage conditions is indefinite. Coconut oil needs to be stored in a cool location, out of the direct sunlight. This is an ideal product for massage therapy because the oil remains in liquid form provided by the fractionating process.

The Fractionated Coconut Oil offered by GoPure is considered an all-natural type of carrier oil that is able to easily absorb into your skin, which makes it a go-to option for all types of topical therapies. It offers a feather-light emollient. It provides a soothing skin barrier but will not clog pores.  It is a great option for dry skin. It provides you with a non-greasy, silky smooth feel, unlike some other carrier oil options. It is completely soluble with all types of essential oils and is odorless and colorless, which means it will not stain fabrics. It also has a prolonged shelf life, which means it will not go rancid. This oil is designed for topical use only. You can find out more about them by visiting the GoPure Naturals site as well.

You can pick up this GoPure Fractionated Coconut Oil on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

I love to go running and when I am not running, I am at the gym. Even when I am away on business, I keep to my fitness schedule. I used to worry so much about losing or damaging your iPhone, I was a nervous nellie with protecting it. In comes the CellPRO Running Armband to take one problem right off my plate. Nothing protects my phone better than the CellPRO Running Armband. I love that it is made of high quality materials. You can totally feel the craftsmanship when you first open it up. CellPRO Running Armband is actually a 3-in-1 product because it includes an armband, a phone cover, and a screen protector.

It even has two card pocket slots. I love that I can leave my wallet home and just take my ID and a credit card. It is constructed from lightweight neoprene that is molded to twist and bend but will not stretch out of shape. It is even washable with gentle soap and water then you can leave it out to air dry. 


The best part is that the touchscreen works perfectly through the clear cover. Another great feature is visibility. The reflective band makes you more visible in the night so you can feel more secure. It helps you to be noticed by vehicles or bicycles. The CellPRO Armband is small enough to fit smaller arms, but you can also adjust the comfortable soft stretchable velcro strap, which allows up to about 16" biceps. There are two options: 12.0-16.0" [30.4 - 40.5 cm] or OPTION B: 8.0-11.5" [20.3-29.2 cm] I find the CellPRO Running Armband to be very lightweight. It is somewhat slimmer than other regular armbands too. It is easy to adjust as well since I am really petite that is important. It fits iPhone 5 and 5S too.

CellPRO Running Armband is beautifully designed too so you feel good using it no matter what sport you love. I like to change it up when I am working out.  This armband allows me to access all buttons on my phone as well as the headphone jack and charging port.  I think the CellPRO Running Armband is pretty practical and easy to clean too.

Blupure ecofriendly 13 stage countertop water filter Review #countertopwaterfilterblupure



This is an easy to install counter top filter. I like that I can save money and not have to be buying those heavy bottles of spring water anymore. The filter lasts a long time too...up to one year or about 1500 gallons of water. Even better, the filter is totally biodegradable when it does need to get changed. I feel more comfortable using water directly from my faucet with this installed....I can feel good about using my water for cooking and drinking....especially with the kids. This removes impurities and chemicals in 13 stages with no work at all on my part. The filtration process involves all these different stages to ensure that all those harmful chemicals are removed. Besides, it takes up no room on the counter and gives me fresh, clean water anytime. I noticed an immediate difference in how my water tasted after I installed it. I am thinking about adding one for our downstairs kitchen as well since it was so easy to install.

Blupure has shared that this eco-friendly counter-top water filter works in 13 stages to remove many things that I definitely don't want in my water. One of the stages uses a layer of catalytic carbon, which is known in the industry as the best material to remove chlorine, VOCs, benzene, radon, solvents, odors, herbicides and colored particles from water. The final stage uses a 0.5-micron carbon block, which works to eliminate an abundance of icky organic contaminants, such as pesticides, herbicides, arsenic, lead, mercury and carcinogens, such as trihalomethane. In between, other stages remove other things like fluoride, chloramine, bacteria and sulfide.

This easy to install filter eliminates all odor and taste and makes your water more pleasant to drink and is super easy to install. I love that it comes conveniently pre-installed with a filter cartridge so it is practically ready to use immediately. It readily hooks up to a tap for convenient use. I love that it is made in USA too. I prefer to support products that help our own economy.

You can pick up this Bluepure eco-friendly countertop water filter on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Steel Book Diversion Safe is a smart idea for any home or business #diversionsafewholenesshome



What a super idea....I never would have thought of this but it is totally genius. We all have small items of value at home that you want to protect from thieves, intruders and possibly even other household members. If you have teens, you never know who they might bring over to your house. You can't be watching 24/7, it just isn't possible. Here is an outstanding opportunity to hide your valuables in plain sight using this crafty Steel Book Diversion Safe. What burglar would be looking at your boring bookshelf? You can get so much in here too from credit cards to cash, even jewelry or passports.


Think about it...this is really useful and so smart. This ingenious little book safe can hold cash, passports, prescription bottles, jewelry and even small firearms. Please check with your state and local laws regarding the possession of firearms and the appropriate permits. Safety first always.Perhaps you have other kinds of valuables that I haven't even considered that you want to keep from prying eyes or potentially sticky fingers.  This is the easy solution that you can access anytime in the privacy of your own home.


There are other diversion safes out there but you have to really look at the quality and what you are getting for your money. Some of them use a dictionary book name stamped on a plastic book. That is not what this Steel Book Diversion Safe is....we are talking apples and oranges. This  special Book feels like a book...you can actually see the marbled cotton texture of the covers. The pages are plastic, but are aligned like a real book, not perfectly cut edges, and the interior is a solid steel LOCKED compartment.

Consider a few things when you think about this book safe. The lock prevents entry even from people in your home who may know it's a safe. Teens will love this for their private items, like diaries. Parents feel safer keeping certain items locked away like money, prescriptions, and jewelry. A hollowed out book will not protect those items once discovered, but this sure will. It even comes with two keys. You can get so much in here this is even a great option for traveling or if you are in a dorm or a shared home.

You can pick up this Steel Book Diversion Safe on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Dragon case Ultrathin Transparent IPhone 6 case Review + Giveaway #dragoncase



My husband recently got an iPhone 6 and he really needed a new case. He wanted to keep the profile thin but he knows he needed protection. Several of our friends have had their iPhones bite the dust without covers and it is a mess. He was insistent that the cover have a thin profile so I thought this would be a perfect option. Dragon case is super thin and transparent to boot.


Dragon Case iPhone 6 is super thin but has reinforced corners to really protect your iPhone against damage. Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to electronics but my hubby was really happy with the look of the Dragon case and the thin profile. It is an impressive product at a great price.



He likes the way all the buttons are streamlined so it keeps that thin profile intact. His iPhone 6 still fits right in his pocket and the cover is almost undetectable. Each time either one of us gets a new iPhone we have to balance the desire for protection with the need for thin and light as far as covers. It used to be just one or the other but the Dragon case gives both without having to compromise. The price is right too compared to other options out there. This is a light and clear cover that is not slippery. It gives the phone the protection we need without the bulk that we don't need. A perfect combination.



You can pick up this Dragon iPhone 6 case on Amazon for easy shopping anytime. Meanwhile, don't forget to enter to win my Rafflecopter giveaway to get your own Dragon case. Good luck!a Rafflecopter giveaway

Microfiber Mop Pads from Turkey Creek Essentials are economical and effective for cleaning floors #microfibermoppads


 

I switched several years ago to using a reusable mop pad. It was way more economical and you have to admit, so much greener.  Making the change to a reusable mop system was actually easy and the mop heads wash up perfectly in the machine. I recently tried the Turkey Creek Essentials mop head branded product.


The Turkey Creek Essentials Microfiber Mop Pads worked great with my mop. These mop heads come in a 18 Inch size with  2 to a Pack. They felt nice and thick and worked compatibly with my normal cleaners.


After my floors were clean I tossed them in the wash. They came out clean and I let them air dry. Turkey Creek Essentials shared that these mop heads are constructed from durable top quality split microfiber.  They can be used Wet or as Dry Dust Mop Refills.
