Made from Earth Organic Aloe Vera Body Lotion Review +Giveaway #madefromearth

I really enjoy using creams and lotions on a daily basis and I try to use organic when I can. I see a big difference if I rush and miss my moisturizer so I try to give myself time morning and evening to apply my creams, lotions and oils. The past few years I have been steadily moving towards using organic and natural products like this aloe vera lotion from Made From Earth. 

I really liked the top ingredients in this Made from Earth Organic Aloe Vera lotion right from the start.  It is hard to do wrong when your base is an organic aloe vera and jojoba oil blend. I loved that this is a double duty product. It is unusual and actually really helpful for me as a super busy working mom that it is safe for use on the face and body. As a busy executive and workin' mama you know my time sometimes gets a tiny bit squeezed. It is great I can use it all over with no worries and avoid the guilt of "I didn't have time to moisturize myself...ewww, my skin looks dry and wrinkly." This is a much better option and I have to say, it feels good on my face and body. Very gentle but moisturizes deeply.

I don't know about you but the winter here just doesn't want to seem to cut loose. My skin has taken such a beating. My poor daffodils are cowering in the chilly air. We still have the flannel sheets on the bed.  I was happy to find that this Made From Earth Aloe and Jojoba Nut Creme Therapy really helped ease my dry skin on my whole body but especially on my legs and feet.  I work out frequently and I must moisturize post shower to avoid the "reptile leg syndrome." I liked how this cream really absorbed quickly but left my skin looking and feeling healthy. 

I love the ingredient list which is chock full of natural moisturizers. This signature series organic Aloe and Jojoba Nut Creme Therapy contains highly concentrated amounts of Aloe Vera and Rooibos Tea leaves.

Wine Chiller by Bar Brat Lets me relax and enjoy a leisurely evening with friends #winechiller

I love to host parties and brunches in my home and I always have bottles of wine ready for guests. I have tried various methods for chilling my wine but the issue is always after it is open....how do you keep it at the proper temperature? I love to just spend time with my guests I don't want to be worrying about keeping the wine chilled. I also want the last glass to taste as wonderful as the first glass for me and my guests. That is where the new Wine Chiller from Bar Brat comes in. This is a great innovation that is going to make the summer of 2015 even more wonderful.  This is a lovely set that comes with boxed perfect for gift giving too. The set includes an easy to use wine chiller stick plus a pourer/aerator.

This Wine Chiller uses a 304 stainless steel rod that you place in the freezer first to get it cold. It chills your favorite wine from the inside instead of the old bucket of ice. It is such an elegant way to chill wine.  I recommend chilling your bottle first...this Wine Chiller is best used to keep a cold bottle of wine cool.  If your wine is already cool, it will keep it cool longer...particularly in the spring and summer months.

This elegant wine chiller also comes with a black gravity lid that automatically opens when you pour wine, It also features a pourer that helps keep the wine from dripping when you pour, a stopper of course, and finally the pour helps aerate the wine a bit when you do pour.

The packaging is unique and stylish.  This is the perfect item if you love wine, enjoying hosting parties, or simply want to add to your collection of wine accessories. 
The Wine Chiller  is ingenious. All you have to do is pop the chiller stick in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours before use. This is so easy to do as you are preparing for guests or a party. I like to keep it in my freezer so I am always prepared for unexpected guests.  I pre-chill my wine to make sure it is at the proper temperature to start. The function of the Wine Chiller is to maintain the temperature of the wine. That way you can enjoy every single glass out of your open bottle. 

This is how I do it for the ideal results. I assemble the Wine Chiller in a few seconds, pour about one glass of wine and then insert the Wine Chiller. You can savor your perfectly chilled wine even if you are a slow drinker....the Wine Chiller will keep the bottle cool and fresh. The Wine Chiller chilling rod maintains the wine chilled even in warmer weather. The  pourer facilitates a dripless pour.

You can pick up this Bar Brat Wine Chiller on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

La Vida Essentials Fractionated Coconut Oil Therapeutic Grade is perfect for all my beauty needs #coconutoil

I love to make my own DIY beauty using a 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...who knew I could do it myself? 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 creams, lotions and oils that I love. Put your blend in a pretty bottle or container and you have a great gift for friends and a super moisturizer. 

La Vida Essentials 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 Vida 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.

The Fractionated Coconut Oil from La Vida Essentials 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. This oil is designed for topical use only.

Tide Pods + Febreze from my Influenster XOVoxBox #voxbox #xovoxbox @Tide #TidePods

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

Tide PODS Plus Febreze is a cool new product that I was excited to try. I work out a lot and with the warmer weather I really need a good detergent to get my gym clothes clean and fresh. I received a sample bag with 10 pods and they worked very nicely to get all my laundry clean including my gym gear. I like that I don't have to worry about measuring out the detergent I just toss one in the wash. The clothes come out of the wash with a fresh scent just like I love. There is nothing nicer than clean laundry. They are not super cheap but you get what you pay for. They clean really well so I think it is worth it.

Tide Pods with Febreze make laundry fun. If you haven't tried these you need to run to the store and pick them up. They work great and are even perfect for travel. Believe me when I tell you all the detergent you need is inside these pretty little pods. You only need one even for a big load of dirty wash. They may look small but they are powered full of great Tide detergent. They get your clothes Febreze fresh and clean with no work at all.
