Whirl-a-Style Ponytail Volumizer + Extender Red Carpet Celebrity Look Review and Giveaway #celebrityponytails

We love to have Spa Beauty Style days here in our home. It could include facial masques to hair treatments or styles. My tween loves for me to help her with newly discovered and minted styles straight from the pages of Pinterest but sometimes it can be a real challenge. Even with our beauty salon worth drawers and cabinets full of supplies, sprays, pins, clips and bands.  I never realized that the right tools can make all the difference in the finished look of a hair style until I was contacted by Whirl-a-Style.  

Whirl-a-Style has a whole catalogue full of amazing products that make anyone look like celebrity style pro.  The ponytail has been a hot trend for the past few years. The popularity hasn't dimmed at all...in fact recently I saw it everywhere on the catwalks at the fashion shows.  Whirl-a-Style was determined to design a product that would make the ponytail beautiful, fun and exciting for anyone by giving it amazing height and volume. Just like the look that you see on the covers of all the magazines, you know what I mean. After extensive research on design and materials, they developed this patented and trademarked ponytail product that gives you exactly the look you want.  The design gives as much height and dimension as you want while holding and staying in the hair even if you are dancing all night long.  The best part is there are several options for the Whirl-a-Style Ponytail Volumizer and Extender.

The Whirl-a-Style Ponytail Volumizer and Extender comes in 3 sizes 1, 2 and 3-inch lengths and different fabrics too. The Fashion Obsessed line is made of polyethelene material and comes in several trendy colors including Hot Pink, Purple, Black, Cream and Copper .  The Haute Ponytail Extender and Volumizer is made from fabric and comes in 2 Leopard and Zebra patterns.

My thoughts:  The Whirl-a-Style products are easy to use and make styling a high ponytail a heck of a lot easier. I enjoyed the ability to get the volume I needed and still have a beautiful look without as much fuss as before.  I love to feel like my hair is longer with the ponytail extender. My tween has been having fun with them as well and thinks they are much easier to use than our traditional methods.

DKnight Magicbox Ultra-Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Review #DKnightMagicboxUltraPortableWirelessBluetoothSpeak

One of the hottest accessories out there now are portable wireless bluetooth speakers. Some of them are totally priced out of reason but not a great one that I recently had the opportunity to check out. The DKnight Magicbox Ultra-Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is a good, reasonably priced option. It offers some powerful sound with built in microphone.  This DKnight Magicbox works seamlessly for Iphones, Ipad Minis, Ipad 4/3/2, itouch, Blackberry, Nexus, Samsung and many other smartphones and Mp3 players. The DKnight Magicbox recently got a major upgrade with easy to follow standard "Beep" sound prompts too. This is the model I was able to review.

I love that this wireless speaker is so small it fits into the palm of my hand. It has a built in rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 10 hours or music or talk.  It even comes with a USB charging cable so I can charge it via my laptop, wall charger or even in the car. It would also work with a desktop if that is what you use. My own desktop has been retired for a few years.  This amazing little device supports wireless music streaming via novel Bluetooth v3.0 technology.  How do you get such powerful sound from a tiny little device like this? It contains not one but two highly powerful 40mml total 6W acoustic drivers and the ultra-small size produces a wide audio spectrum that pretty much knocked my socks off this week.

You can see how simple the DKnight Magicbox is to use in the photo above. It is not complicated and has easy to follow buttons. I find that the built-in Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery really has been giving me close to 10 hours of playtime. I am loving the built-in microphone so I can use it for hands-free speaker phone calling. It is a cinch to pair too...much easier than my car since you don't need any codes or pins.

This is a great option to bring to the beach or even on a vacation since it is only 8.3 ounces. Plays all kinds of audio devices through 3.5mm aux in the jack.  I have been using it with my iphone 5 and my tween has used it with the ipad mini.  The music sounds wonderful and it was simple for both of us to learn how to use it quickly. You can pick this DKnight Magicbox Ultra-Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker up quickly right on Amazon my absolute fave place to shop.

Organic Spirulina Review #OrganicSpirulina

Always check with your physician before starting any supplement product and specifically Sari Foods Spirulina. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.

I really try to eat healthy and do what I can to support my immune system. I was excited to try out something new that is super healthful and can be used in so many ways from smoothies to cereals and even baking and cooking.  Organic Spirulina is an immune powerhouse! The rich, dense green color is the big clue that it is packed with important, organic nutrients that your body needs.

Now we are heading into the season that is a challenging one for me with viruses and the flu at my doorstep. I try to do everything I can to support my immune system. I am excited about the opportunities to use this Organic Spirulina to for yummy smoothies, juices and recipes to give me the nutritional boost my body needs.  I even received a free recipe book with some wonderful recipe and tips on how to incorporate this ultimate superfood into my diet!

The company has shared that Spirulina may help:

Support your immune system: Organic Spirulina is the most nutrient dense food known to humankind. That is pretty powerful. It can help balance your pH and reduce inflammation. This nutritional content can really provide the support your immune system needs this fall and winter and all year long.

Consider how free radicals and aging take place.This miracle superfood has more antioxidant activity than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables and 3900% more beta carotene than carrots.  That is a  powerful antioxidant punch that can support skin health and cell regeneration even in the face of pollution, diet, minor injury, or stress.

Organic Spirulina can help to optimize your health.  It contains over 100 naturally occurring and bioavailable vitamins & nutrients.  Organic Spirulina contains more than 60% protein and is a non-synthetic source of iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium, beta-carotine, B12, chlorophyll, phytonutrients, antioxidants and essential amino acids (GLA, Omega 3, 6 & 9's).

This is nutrient packed USDA Certified Organic Spirulina. It has been called perhaps nature's most perfect food. In fact, if nature were to make a multivitamin, this just might be it

Spirulina can be added to just about anything but is tastes best in smoothies and other flavored beverages.  I like blending it with ice cubes, almond milk, a drop of vanilla, a few pieces of sliced apple and a banana.  Spirulina alone has a strong flavor that works well with a bit of sweetness for balance. You can also add it to vegetable juices or a veggie smoothie. Talk about a benefit....Spirulina contains more protein content than any other food source, and, it is biologically complete. This means it contains all of the essential amino acids needed for human health. Spirulina is also the most planet friendly source of protein? It yields 20% more than soybeans with 25% of the water usage and is 5 times more energy efficient. It is an Eco-conscious source of green protein.  A perfect addition to your diet for vegetarians or if you trying to reduce your consumption of animal products.

Bella & Bear Beauty Products (Eyelash Curler & Hair Remover) Review #beautytools

Nothing opens up my eyes and makes me look more fresh and alert than a quick tap or two with and eyelash curler.  I love this Bella+Bear Eye and Mighty Eyelash Curler.  It is easy to use and makes my eyes look gorgeous. It is a little different than your average eyelash curler because you don't have to hunt from drugstore to online trying to find those elusive replacement pads. None are required. The pads are designed to last for the lifetime of the eyelash curler.  This curler also doesn't pinch me like my old one did in the past. I am an old pro at eyelash curling but every once in a while...bam, pinch, owwww. I like the design of this Eye and Mighty Eyelash Curler better. It is actually easier to hold and grip all the lashes than my old curler.  It really works no matter what.  My special final and personal secret is turning on my hair dryer or hot brush and putting the curler under it for a second or two.  You must check it to make sure it isn't too hot before putting it near your eyes but it makes the lashes curl like crazy.

One other area that you need to consider in the beauty department is hair removal.  Bella +Bear make it a snap with their new Hair Removal Kit.  It is easy to use and saves me money.  Waxes, creams, threading, laser or even electrolysis costs so much money.  You can remove facial hair really fast and save a bundle by doing it in the privacy of your own home. This works on my facial hair and really lasts for weeks because it removes the hair from the follicles. I love that it is totally natural too. It even comes with a pair of high quality tweezers that get even those tricky hairs.  The Kit does it all and it is portable too so you never have to worry anymore.

The Bella+Bear Hair She Goes Hair Remover kit is the bomb. You really need to try it and let me know what you think. I love how smooth my face looks and no worries about the stray hairs anymore. I can even tuck it into my travel bag (it is that small!) so I can feel confident anywhere I go on vacation.

You can find Bella & Bear on Amazon too so you can get all the wonderful beauty benefits right to your door really fast.
