PopSockets phone grip and stand #PopSockets



I just got this cool new phone accessory that is really fun and useful at the same time. A PopSocket is an accessory that easily attaches to most mobile devices like iPhones. They have pretty and funky designs too. The PopSockets expands and collapses fast with an accordion mechanism. You can do it with one finger. Attach PopSockets to almost any phone to use it as a phone grip, a phone stand for Facetime or to manage those unwieldy headset cords. PopSockets just "pop" right out whenever you need need them for a task or you can just play with them to pass the time.

They come in single packs or two packs. Either way they come with this special totally removable and reusable PopTek adhesive pad. It attaches in a snap to most phones, phablets, tablets, and many cases. It has this thin layer of reusable, residue-free, adhesive gel. You can even reposition it if you like and it leaves no marks or residue.

It was easy to attach to my iPhone 5s and works great for me. It makes it easier to talk with the microphone and to Facetime with my family when I am away. When it is popped in, it takes up no space on the phone at all. It pops out with barely a finger. 

You can pick up PopSockets phone grips online for easy shopping anytime.

Arm & Hammer help keep teeth radiant and strong #TrulyRadiant

Disclosure:  I received the product free through Smiley360 for review purposes. My opinions are my own. 

I love to try different health and beauty brands. That includes toothpastes and rinses. Just because I have been using something for a while doesn't mean there might not be something better out there.  Sometimes there are products that provide similar efficacy but cost less too. Why not save a little money if I can get the same results? 

This seems to be the case with the new Truly Radiant line of dental care products including ARM & HAMMER Truly Radiant Rejuvenating Toothpaste, Spinbrush Truly Radiant Deep Clean Manual Toothbrush andTruly Radiant Whitening & Strengthening Fluoride Rinse.

I have to say my teeth feel super clean after using the combination of the Truly Radiant Rejuvenating Toothpaste, Spinbrush Truly Radiant Deep Clean Manual Toothbrush and Truly Radiant Whitening & Strengthening Fluoride Rinse. I am pretty particular about my dental care routine and brush, floss and rinse twice a day. My teeth actually look whiter than they have been lately and my mouth feels very fresh after using the rinse. I like that the rinse also contains flouride to keep my teeth strong.


I received a Smiley kit that contained:

• One tube of ARM & HAMMER™ Truly Radiant™ Rejuvenating Toothpaste
• One Spinbrush™ Truly Radiant™ Deep Clean Manual Toothbrush
• One bottle of Truly Radiant™ Whitening & Strengthening Fluoride Rinse
• Smiley360 Sharing Guide

Truly Radiant™ Whitening & Strengthening Fluoride Rinse keeps teeth strong without alcohol or peroxide. I
was impressed that this is the first and only rinse that whitens teeth, strengthens enamel and prevents stains without alcohol or peroxide.That is all good for dental care. The company promises a whiter smile in just 5 days and I saw the results myself.  
Here are some benefits:
  • Strengthens and restores enamel
  • Stain Defense™ Technology helps stop stains before they start
  • Provides long-lasting freshness
  • For best results, use with other ARM & HAMMER™ Truly Radiant™ products.

Truly Radiant™ Deep Clean is the first and only manual toothbrush that features a special rotating head, plus elongated, all-access bristles that get deep in-between teeth to help blast away plaque. It really cleaned my teeth effectively.


Some benefits:

evian® Spray: Creating Intense Makeup Color with evian FacialSpray #evianspray @brandbacker

Disclosure: This post is powered by Brandbacker.

I remember using evian ®Natural Mineral Water years ago as a professional brand new to the workforce. It really helped me look more sophisticated and feel more professional. evian is a classic beauty secret that comes all the way from the French Alps. evian Facial Spray actually starts as rain and snow high atop the French Alps after which it filters for over 15 years through glacial rock and sand to a deep underground catchment just outside the town of Evian-Les-Bains, France. The water contained in the spray is tested 300 times per day to insure quality and the consistent unique mineral content. I love that it is guaranteed to be the same every single time. No other water has the same mineral content as evian. I love the feel of my skin when I use my evian Facial Spray. The exquisitely fine mist produced by evian® Brumisateur® penetrates and rehydrates the upper layers of the skin naturally. I love how evian Facial Spray can moisturize my facial skin.

I recently learned a a few novel makeup tricks using evian Facial Spray. I mastered a new technique to add dimension to my everyday makeup routine with a more intense shadow look.  I love how foundation, BB and CC cream and even eyeshadow can be applied with evian Facial Spray to add a more intense look. It makes bold colors really stand out and is a perfect way to freshen up your everyday look with something a little special.



I used a metallic green shadow that I really adore. It is easy to get the intense look with evian. All you do is spray your shadow brush with evian Facial Spray before applying the eyeshadow and it creates a more bold, intense color that is perfect for the day or evening.


I also like to use evian Spray to set my eye shadow after I have completed my look. I apply my complete look on my eyes and then I lightly mist evian Facial Spray over my eye area. It sets my eye makeup and gives it a beautiful, elegant finish. The mist is super fine and it doesn't disturb my eyeliner or mascara at all. This is a classic technique that I understand many makeup artists use to achieve the most trendy looks.  You can use the same technique for setting foundation, BB or CC cream on your facial skin.


You can use evian Spray in multiple ways to get a more finished look. Something that I always take extra time with is the area where my face and jawline meet. The last thing I want to do is leave the house and later see that I have unwanted foundation lines.  I recently mastered the technique of using a gentle spray of evian to blend my BB or CC cream along my jawline and neck so it totally eliminates that issue. I tuck a bottle of evian Facial Spray into my work tote bag so I can use it in the afternoon to freshen up my look...much better than a cup of coffee.

You can find out more about multiple uses for evian Facial Spray on their website and on their Facebook page.

Liquid Chalk Markers help us make fun crafts

 
I received a package of 8 colors including Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, Orange and White‏ liquid chalk markers to use for crafts and projects. These are a perfect option to use on tons of surfaces including non-porous chalkboards, glass, windows, mirrors, whiteboards and more. We already decorated the front windows with colorful flowers to welcome spring in our home. I keep coming up with more fun opportunities to use these colorful markers. Someone has a birthday coming up soon and they are going to wake up to special messages on the mirrors in the bath!

These liquid chalk paint markers make it easy to create custom art for tons of occasions like baby and wedding showers, engagement parties, birthdays, wedding and even sporting events. These are the perfect tool to create PTA and kids sporting event crafts.

If you have a small business this is a great option to get customers to notice specials and deals in your window or on a whiteboard. Ice Cream Shops, local Bistros, Diners, Bars, Cafes, Restaurants, Car Dealerships and Real Estate firms can get crafty and reel in customers at the same time.

These colorful liquid chalk markers are totally water-based and non-toxic. These paint pens are super easy to use and manipulate and I found them easy to erase too. The chalk pens have a 6mm chisel-style tip which lets me make fine or broad strokes so they work for most any project. 

You can pick up Liquid Chalk Markers on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.
