Natural Air and Fabric Freshener is the way to a fresher home and car #HomeFresh



I work out frequently so in and out of the gym and between my gym bag and my sneakers....I don't want to tell you it is not pretty. I am particular about cleaning everything frequently but still when you are working out hard and sweating it is a challenge. This Natural Air and Fabric Freshener from Amare Terra is totally up to the challenge though. This stuff really works. It has a light, fresh scent that is a bit of this and a bit of that...I think lavender and vanilla primarily but it really absorbs odors and leaves my car and my sports closet area fresh and clean. The sprayer is easy to depress and the bottle is ideal...not too tiny that it is going to run out in 5 minutes but not so big that it is unwieldy. Great natural product that you can use anywhere. I received this product complimentary in exchange for an honest review.


I really prefer to use natural products when possible. I like everything to look and smell fresh and clean in my home. I recently had the opportunity to try Natural Air and Home Fabric Refresher as a novel option to keep my home fresher. This new option for freshness combines liquid herbal extracts with essential oils that are safe for you and your family to breathe. All it takes is one or two sprays too. This odor eliminator quickly absorbs icky odors too. It leaves a refreshing natural scent in the air. I really like that I can refresh my home without resorting to commercial chemically-based products with unpronounceable names, or artificial fragrances. I know fewer chemical and artificial scents are a step up to good health.

If you haven't lately, take a peek at the ingredients in some of those air fresheners in your home or on the store shelves. The ingredients are not even pronounceable. If you have family or friends that suffer from asthma and chemical sensitivities that is not going to be good.  The chemical fragrances can linger on your clothes, skin and hair...ewww.  Try this natural odor eliminator that doesn't add more toxins to the air you breathe. It uses essential oils and a natural deodorizer.  It eliminates unpleasant smells and leaves the area with a clean and fresh scent.  

How do you use the Amare Terra Natural Air and Fabric Freshener? It is super easy! All you do is hold the bottle in an upright position and spray in areas to eliminate unpleasant odors. You can spray in sneakers, closets, offices, kitchens, baths, in pet areas, diaper pails or wherever you need some freshness fast.

You can use it anywhere too:
  • Home 
  • Car/truck
  • Office
  • Kitchen
  • Bathroom
  • Pets 
  • Shoes and sneakers
  • Diaper pail
  • Gym Bags 
You can pick up the Natural Air and Fabric Refresher online anytime.

BEAUTYOILS CO 100% Pure Rosehip Seed Oil Moisturizer Is simple and effective #beautyoils



I love to use natural skin care wherever possible. This simple oil is naturally rich in linoleic and linolenic acids. In addition it contains vitamins A and C to support the skin. BEAUTYOILS.CO 100% Pure Rosehip Seed Oil can support against the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I have definitely noticed a difference in how I need to moisturize versus my 30's. My skin seems to get dry so much faster. There is no way I can skip a night with my moisturizer. The Rosehip Oil makes it easy though...even on the nights I am exhausted I can blend a few drops into my skin and ta-dah. Off to beddy-bye and my skin still looks wonderful in the morning.

It is ideal for my 40+ skin. It even works well to rehydrate severely dry skin. BEAUTYOILS.CO Rosehip Seed Oil is cold pressed to ensure freshness and quality. The company does not recommend it for active acne. They also recommend trying a patch test before applying around eye area.

It has simple ingredients that work gently but effectively.  Ingredients: 100% Rosehip Seed Oil (Rosa Moschata). You can find this Rosehip Seed Oil right on Amazon for easy shopping anytime. You can find out more on their BEAUTYOILS CO company page.

I am a sunscreen fanatic but it is hard to find a sunscreen that performs well but is aesthetically pleasing too. I have spent a lot of time and money trolling the store shelves offline and looking online. It has to feel good on my skin plus protect it from the suns harsh rays. I was excited to try this option from OZ Natural since I have found success with several products from this brand in the past. OZ Natural Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 Sunscreen is a lightly scented lotion that actually smells pleasant. It absorbs into my skin quickly and leaves it looking clean and fresh. It even has lots of good anti-aging ingredients in it along with a light tint. The color is wonderful and it lets me skip my BB or CC cream on the weekend. 



This novel broad spectrum tinted sunscreen product protected my skin effectively with the SPF 30. The tint is just right too. It added a bit of color to my skin and left it looking healthy and fresh. My skin stayed
 moisturized and soft as well. I prefer products free of chemicals so I'm happy this product works effectively by using natural minerals like zinc oxide. All Oz Naturals products, like this created tinted sunscreen, are free of parabens and are sulfate free too. 

OZ Naturals is becoming a major leader in natural skincare because they create great products that do the job without the scary stuff I don't need in or on my body. I like that Everything is also cruelty-free, mineral oil free, lanolin free and gluten free. This product is now one of my everyday faves and will be my go-to protection all year long. OZ Natural Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 Sunscreen is a great option to protect skin anytime.

Beauty Box Five Primped August 2015 Subscription Box Review @beautybox5 #beautybox5 #donnamax #starlooks #haskhair #jeromealexander #purlisse

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 look no matter whether there is sun, rain or snow.  BB5 shows you how you can squeeze in quality beauty time into even the days you gotta hustle with a few little marvy products.  Check out all the trendiest of spring fashions now that the snow is melting and start dreaming...of spring flowers! Don't forget to share your fave finds and share with friends too. 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 August Primped Box this week.  The August theme is all about getting gussied up and fine tuning your beauty regimen.  Of course we all start out just perfect but what's wrong with adding a few new shades, tools and freshness to your routine. The team at Beauty Box 5 wants to remember you are unique and special and never forget it since you got this, girl.  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 August, don't forget to primp a little.  Here is the scoop on the amazing treats that were in this sweet sea blue August 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 the hot summer days take me from work to play.  They take me all over too....from the the USA to abroad and who knows where else this summer and fall. We will have to see. I am one busy mama!


The first item in this box is a sample of Pur~lisse Pur Moist Hydra-Balance Moisturizer. I love these mini sizes to take with me on my business trips. It is soothing and highly hydrating. This antiaging moisturizer uses plant extracts and Vitamin E to leave skin glowing. It moisturizes gently and is worth a tiny splurge for great skin.  It felt hydrating and light on my sometimes sensitive skin. It will be perfect to keep my skin looking good on an upcoming vacation this fall. I like the way my skin feels and looks in the morning.  Retail: $55.00 for 1.7 fl oz. 


The next product in the box is ideal for keeping my mani and pedi perfect wherever I go. This summer has been wrecking havoc on my skin between the sunscreen, pool, beach and ocean. My nails need constant This pretty Printed Nail File with Case from Donnamax is just adorable. What a fresh take on the ho-him nail file that gets lost in my cavernous purse.  Naturally I stashed it right in my purse but this one I can find easily whenever I need it. A deal at $4.99.


This Jerome Alexander Hot Stuff Go Pop Compact is so adorable. If the bright green color didn't get your attention the colors inside will! It comes in a variety of assorted glam colors that will make your eyes and lips POP! Jerome Alexander even designed this compact two ways. If you want to save space you can pop the sleek, black compact out of the colorful green case and use it solo. If you want just keep it in the bright green protective case for everyday use. It has colors galore to spice things up anytime. They are priced reasonably too so enjoy...pick up a several colors to match different looks.  This would also be a super cute little gift tucked into a gift bag for your best friend, your girls.  At this price I can collect a few more. Retail: $10.99  


I love a good eyeliner that adds dimension because it really defines the eyes. Starlooks Luxe Longwear Eyeliner Pen in Plum is an ideal liner. I use eyeliner most days for work.  My everyday makeup routine includes moisturizer, mascara, a bit of eyeliner and lipgloss. I am thrilled because this eyeliner goes on smoothly so I can swipe on some defining color in a flash. This plum liner gives me a fresh swipe of color to add some dimension to my hazel eyes. This is a winner for me since it is waterproof...tada! Perfect on my busy days when I just want a light makeup look but perky, defined eyes. I am looking forward to bright eyes this fall. I have to say it lasted all day for me. A good deal at $19.99.


The final item in this exciting August box is a Hask Beauty Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment that is a cult classic among the ladies in the know. This girl loves her conditioned hair so I was happy as can be. Sunday is my Spa Day so the timing was perfect.  I love that I can undo some damage and dryness in a flash. I don't have a ton of time so I 💗 that it only take 10 minutes. Easy to use and there are lots of options to choose from so you can find the variety that works best for your own hair type. Nothing wrong with a little spa day for your hair before a special night and this hair treatment makes it easy to achieve. A secret beauty bargain at $2.39 for 1.75 oz.
