La Lune Naturals Fractionated Coconut Oil keeps my skin soft and moisturized #lalunenaturals


It can be so expensive to buy all those fun beauty creams, lotions and potions out there. I finally tossed up the white flag a few years ago and started doing it myself. I really enjoy making my own DIY moisturizer using a simple carrier oil blended with a variety of essential oils. The possibilities are endless but years ago I used to spend a bundle at the luxury boutiques and beauty stores because I just didn't know. It is so easy to use products like La Lune fractionated coconut oil (for topical use only!) and combine it with a scented essential oils to get the ideal combination for me each time. I just use the pump bottle from La Lune or if you are creating a gift put it in a pretty bottle or container and you have something special that was inexpensive but personally crafted for your friend or family member. My nieces love it!


La Lune Naturals Fractionated Coconut Oil has tons of skin care 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 La Lune creates a protective barrier on your skin that does not clog pores. It provides a light-weight and non-greasy finish so it is ideal to use post shower or bath. It is composed of 100 percent natural coconut oil.

The shelf life of fractionated 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.


   

La Lune Naturals is considered an all-natural type of carrier oil. It absorbs quickly and easily into my skin too.  This makes it a go-to option for all types of external skin care.  I really love how it creates a soothing skin barrier without clogging pores.  It is a great option for dry skin like mine. 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. They even send you an ebook with some great ways to use your coconut oil. You can pick up La Lune Naturals Fractionated Coconut Oil on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

1000 Thread Set of 2 Cotton Pillowcases Review #1000ThreadCottonPillowcases




I received a Yorkshire Mayfair 1000 thread count beige pillowcase set which included two pillowcases. The color is a rich tan which reminds me of a luxurious caramel color. The shade is pretty and vibrant.  They are pretty and wash well. I wish I had matching sheets they feel so comfortable. They were so comfortable. 

The mercerized cotton woven sateen pillowcases were easy to put on and they felt comfortable to sleep on over the past few nights. They washed well and did not wrinkle up. They look fresh in the morning so it makes fast work for making my bed in the am when I am busy.

My head stays cool at night too. My husband agreed they feel cool and comfortable.  The material is a perfect blend between soft but not too silky...just a nice feel to them.  We are both happy that they are machine washable.

Key information about 1000 COUNT sheets:

  • 100% Cotton
  • Sateen Finish
  • Ultra Soft
  • Set of two

Adamia Therapeutic Repair Lotion with oil of macadamia nut for dryskin #adamia



My skin can get really dry no matter what the season. Even in the spring...I spend a ton of time outdoors working in the garden and that just wrecks my hands.  They get so dry and irritated and it takes days to get them back in decent shape. I recently had the opportunity to try an Australian remedy for dry and distressed skin called Adamia Therapeutic Repair Lotion. This special lotion has been utilized effectively for years in healthcare facilities in Australia.

I was impressed with the results of the studies they shared with me.  It has offered relief for many elderly nursing home residents by supporting healthier skin.  The company shared that Adamia Lotion has been tested and studied in multiple healthcare facilities and compared with the usual standard of care which is petroleum jelly. The secret of Adamia efficacy is based on the natural healing powers only found in the oil of the macadamia nut.  This natural ingredient mimics the oils found in healthy human skin. It  naturally replenishes essential oils in distressed skin. It moisturizes dry, hurting skin to repair, restore and even renew.


This special oil is combined with a list of other compelling ingredients. The company shared that they completed two separate trials in healthcare facilities with the goal achieved improving the quality of irritated or distressed skin. This therapeutic lotion even showed a significant reduction in skin lesions among long-term care residents. Since it worked so well for these distressed patients I figured it had to work for me and my dry skin. 

It feels great on my skin and absorbs quickly. It has almost no scent at all and doesn't feel greasy. My skin actually looks better after a few days of using this lotion. It doesn't have that dried out appearance anymore.That is a relief because I see clients all day and dread the embarrassment of shaking hands if my hands are dry and irritated.

Adamia Therapeutic Repair Lotion has been dermatologist tested. It is completely free of fragrance and dyes. It is hypo- allergenic and has been deemed safe for sensitive skin. It also has the added benefit that it absorbs quickly and will not stain clothing or linens. It feels good on my skin and definitely has helped my hands and body feel and look better and healthier.

You can pick up this Adamia Therapeutic Repair Lotion  on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Make a fun Planter for summer


It is easy to do. Buy a rattan planter. Choose real or faux greenery or flowers. Fill with soil and plant. Don't forget to water everything. Crowdtap gave me the idea! 

All Queens Chess is a great strategy game for kids and grownups #thinkfun



So many kids spend too many hours with electronic games and mobile devices these. It has been a hot topic of discussion the past few years. Many parents are starting to think about other options for kids to better challenge their minds and still be fun. Consider some of the fun strategy games from ThinkFun that are perfect for one or more players.  My tween gets plenty of screen time but enough is enough at some point. We have always enjoyed strategic card games, board games and intellectual games. My hubby and I enjoyed them as kids and we started playing simple board games with our tween when she was a tiny tot.  This is the kind of skill that you can't learn on a electronic device and I challenge you to prove me wrong. I truly credit her early reading to all the board games and learning games we have played since she was a tot.

Thank you to my mom...big time. Gramma was the one who discovered the ThinkFun brand way back when.  She picked up a few of the ThinkFun travel sized games at a local game store and the little one was in love. We discovered one of her best friends was also a ThinkFun fan.  Her best friend has two parents that are educators so take that into consideration. They know quality learning games when they see them. Birthdays and other special occasions suddenly became a good reason to buy a new ThinkFun game. Frankly, it made it easy for me because it was pretty much impossible to bomb with a birthday gift when I chose a ThinkFun game. Many of the ThinkFun games including the All Queens Chess are excellent games to play in the car, while waiting for appointments or even to tote with you on the airplane. A better option than endless screen time.  We have quite a collection of ThinkFun games and haven't been disappointed yet so I was excited to see what All Queens Chess was about.

First of all this one is a 2-player game. It uses all queens...surprise. You have to really use strategy to plan your moves out to try to get four Queens in a row. It uses some of the functions of Chess too. I think that makes it easy to understand....at least the basics. It is a challenge to master this game though. The Queen can move any number of squares vertically, horizontally or diagonally. There is a big difference though...you can't capture any pieces in this All Queens Chess. You must keep your eyes open and use your mind. Think like Spock (RIP) and exercise logic as you navigate the board. You ultimate goal is to get your Queens all in a row.

Basics about the All Queens Chess game:
  • Four in a Row meets Chess
  • Use logic to get your four Queens in a straight line horizontally, vertically or diagonally
  • Queens move like standard Chess but can't be captured
  • A simple strategy game that can get more complex as you master the challenge
  • For 2 players, ages 8 to adult

An easy way to think about this game is to consider it as four-in-a-row chess.


You have to think about each move and carefully choose in order to get four queens in a row.  My tween loves All Queens Chess and it gives all of us a mental challenge as well. All Queens Chess is a great game that is appropriate for two players ages 8 to adult. It is priced about $12.99. This is a super birthday, Christmas or anytime gift.

You can pick up All Queens Chess on their website or on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Espresso Stack Cup is adorable and useful in my kitchen #espressostackcup

This espresso mug is a functional and fun, organizable product. It can be combined and mixed up between the colors to make the ideal personalized set for your kitchen or for a special gift.


This Espresso Stack Cup works the same way as those eternally fun children's L*GO building block toys. Doesn't the top totally look like them? It makes me want to start playing with my Espresso Stack Cups immediately. You can mix 'n match the colors too. Think about how much fun it would be to have this set in your kitchen.

Pick up a few and you can have a little afternoon jolt with friends. These adorable stackable espresso cups would be a lovely gift for a wedding shower or a birthday surprise for an espresso lover. They are modern and stylish...perfect for a NYC or Montana kitchen.



These are small cups since they are truly intended for espresso, but they are ideal if you just want a mini cup of coffee or even a small dessert. I often see cute puddings or mini appetizers served in these type of cups. The cups appear to be well constructed and durable. They retain heat well and keep my espresso hot. These come in black and white so you can design your own set. The exterior is constructed of sturdy ABS material which makes them a breeze to clean.

Beauty Box Five April 2015 Bloom Subscription Box Review @beautybox5 #lastingsmiles #dancinggoatskincare #incoco #styleessentials #firstaidbeauty

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received the products for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the products.


I love it....Beauty Box five has the fun beauty ideas for every day of the year.  My little blue box from BB5 helps me manage to keep it all together at work and at home to freshen up my glam no matter what the season.  BB5 shows you how you can squeeze in quality beauty time into even the days you gotta hustle with a few little special products.  Check out all the trendiest of spring fashions now that the and start dreaming...of spring flowers and summer on the way! Consider helping out a friend or someone else in need. Even the little things help. You can donate unused sneakers or eyeglasses for example. Break out of your winter shell and give a little to other but remember yourself too. Don't forget to share your fave finds with friends too. Be generous all around. Take a peek at a few beauty goodies to go along with your pretty fashions and maybe grab a few extra for friends. BB5 makes a great gift any friend would appreciate all year long.  


Everyone loves getting the inside scoop. I like trying new beauty products from sunscreens to lipsticks and find that I often find new faves.  That is one of the great things about BB5.  You can try lots of new things and sub in new favorites without being stuck with a huge bottle of this or that. I happens to the best of us even with green intentions. Sometimes I look at a product in the store but I worry it might not be for me and I don't want to spend all that money if I don't know that I really like it.  Who needs something else to sit on the bathroom shelf or take up more room in a drawer? I would always feel guilty. Every once in a while you get lucky and the store has a sample or perhaps a beauty company sends you a sample and you get to try it first.  That is the premise behind BB5.

The ideal solution for all of us is brought to you by Beauty Box 5. They understand  and created their great sampling box program. Beauty Box 5 is an amazing subscription beauty box sampler that is delivered right to your doorstep (or mailbox) filled with a combination of 5 brand new cosmetic samples monthly, quarterly or annually. You can start out at just $12 a month or save more by getting a longer subscription. Signing up to receive Beauty Box 5 each month is a great new way for anyone from teens to moms to sample new cosmetic products and see what works for you.  Each month they include tips and tricks for the products on the back of this little card below to help you get the most out of your beauty samples each month.




Beauty Box 5 is always on the lookout for the latest new items to make the best matches for your own personal taste and lifestyle.  The prices are reasonable too. You can get a Beauty Box 5 monthly for $12, quarterly for $30 or annually for just $99.  Shipping is always free.  A fun way to check out lots  of the new beauty stuff out there without a whole lot of $$ investment. The great part is that if you like something, you can just up and buy the full size item, right?  Much better than buying a full size you-know-what-beauty-item and paying a fortune and then it sits in the makeup bag gathering dust because it doesn't work for you.

Beauty Box 5 mixes it up with their brands and keeps things adventurous. They source from a mix of niche, luxe, regular drugstore, vegan and eco-conscious brands.  One month you might get hair care, nail care, makeup, skin care, fragrances or even beauty accessories or a mix of any of the above.  I love the suspense!  You will get a carefully curated blend of travel, full-size and deluxe samples from their most current collection.


  
I just received the April Bloom Box this week.  The April theme is Bloom and blossom it is! Flourish all month long with little extras for yourself and others. Take a peek this month with your 5 new favorites in your box- and beyond!  The team at Beauty Box 5 wants to remember you are unique and special. We all deserve to take a little bit of time to beautify and keep our look fresh even as we work hard all week long. Beauty Box five is here with a ton of special treats to help you along the way.  In April, don't forget to let the new possibilities Bloom.  Here is the scoop on the amazing treats that were in this sweet sea blue April box:

As always it was chock full of amazing goodies that I could not wait to try. There were goodies for my hands, face and body tucked in there this month.  Lots of special items to keep me looking fresh and alluring wherever my spring blooming days take me.  Who knows where I will go this spring and summer. We will have to see. I am one busy mama and that never changes!


The first item in this box is a sample of Dancing Goat Hula Bliss Body Lotion. I love these mini sizes to take with me on my business trips. It is a sweet treat for my hands and skin with goat's milk, rosemary lavender, eucalyptus and coconut oil. It has a wonderful scent and feels great on my skin.  The natural formula is not greasy and absorbs quickly. I love the way my skin feels and it truly looks so much more hydrated.  Retail: $17.99 for 8 fl oz. 


The next product in the box is perfect for cleansing on the go...another great travel size to try out. This PH balanced cleanser caught my eye right away. A few things I really like....paraben free, safe for sensitive skin and it feels great when I wash my skin with it.  First Aid Beauty Facial Cleanser is a fresh way to clean your skin without irritating it. This is going to be a great option for the summer after a day at the beach. A good value at $20.00 for 5 oz.


This is such a fun concept...a twin gloss with two colors in one. Of course my tween was trying to grab this one for herself right away. This Style Essentials TwinGloss in Cherry Blossom is going to keep your lips shiny and fresh all day long. The shade is light and pretty...just enough to add a touch of bright color. These fun lip glosses are priced reasonably too so of course we are going to pick up a several colors to match different spring and summer outfits.  I love this bright, cheery color and the shine is just perfect.  At this price I can collect a few more. 2.50 for 0.03 fl oz 



I love my lip balm plus I love when I can help others. Sometimes I really go above and beyond like baking for cancer patients for example or making a donation. Here is a way to help others by just buying a lip balm. Lasting Smiles Passionfruit Organic Lip Balm helps you nourish your lips while you help transform children so they can have pretty smiles too. You can find out more on the Lasting Smiles website LastingSmilesCare.com  They use healthy, organic ingredients and support funding for cleft surgeries globally.  What a wonderful concept and a great product too. Consider donating or making a purchase. A nice product at $4.99 for 0.15 oz


The next item in this exciting April box for a little surprise is a Incoco Nail Polish Applique Set. This girl loves her pretty manis and pedis so I was excited to check this one out.  They are easy to use and there are lots of styles to choose from so go basic or a little wild for the weekend. No dry time so do it in a flash.  A nice option for manis or pedis at $8.99.

So, are you ready to get in on the fun? The ladies from BB5 have put together another really amazing box full of beauty fun perfect to take you straight into spring and even summer. Don't forget to join Beauty Box 5 and get in on the goodies to keep you looking fab all four season.

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:

Manual toothbrush with Spinbrush™ technology—no batteries needed

Bristles rotate as you brush to help blast away plaque

Features elongated bristles designed to clean hard-to-reach places

Available in soft- and medium-bristle firmness

ARM & HAMMER™ Truly Radiant™ Rejuvenating Toothpaste

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.
