GERmanikure glass manicure stick with leather case is a great way toDIY at home #GERmanikure

I am a big manicure kind of girl. I prefer DIY since I know exactly what I am doing and I can set aside any worries about how sanitary one salon or another might be. Tools are the key. You must ensure you have a quality set of tools. I have used manicure stones before but they can be challenging to clean. This tool is glass and I find it too be an upgrade from the stone.

I found a new one recently from GERmanikure. This is a luxury quality glass manicure stick that comes with leather case for storage. You can use it at home, on the go or it will slip into your vanity case or purse for travel. It is a great all around tool to keep your nails looking great.

I like that you can use this tool wet or dry. It has a slanted side that gently pushes cuticle and makes the nail actually look longer. It has a pencil tip on the other end which is ideal for exfoliating dead cuticle cells while taking away the risk of cuts or injury. This is so easy to care for too. Just rinse this glass tool with water to clean. It has a permanent texture that the manufacturer tells me will never wear off. The tool has many other uses as well. You can use for nail decoration, re-positioning, post-polish cleanup, hangnail filing, callus smoothing and more.

You can find this great manicure tool right on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Generation Good Seventh Generation Free & Clear Laundry Detergent Sample @seventhgen #sponsored

Disclosure: I received samples of Seventh Generation Free + Clear Laundry Detergent for free. 

I recently received a packet in the mail with three Seventh Generation Free+ Clear laundry detergent samples to try and share with a friend. I was excited to try Seventh Generation Free + Clear laundry detergent and the samples I received made it easy. I tried the laundry detergent in my household for 2 loads. It worked well for the white and colored clothes. They smelled just clean without fragrance or chemicals. My clothes came out clean and fresh and there was no residue or scent. My hubby was so happy he asked me to add it onto our weekly shopping list. He is a scent-free just of a guy. These are great if you prefer unscented detergent or have allergies.

Do you or someone in your family prefer clean clothes without any kind of scent? Sometimes scent can be quite irritating to skin. In the winter, we are so much more susceptible to itchy, dry skin and even eczema. It can be very annoying and bothersome. Detergents like this excellent option from Seventh Generation really help us out for a few reasons.This Plant-based formula is tough on stains without fragrances, dyes or artificial brighteners.  It gets our dirtiest dirties all fresh and clean from the Ultimate Frisbee sweats to my icky fitness camp gym clothes. Think about it. Now you can get a clean you can trust that is made for sensitive skin. 

The best part about this sampling is that I was able to share my third packet with a friend. My neighbor Lyn was excited to try this since she always does wash on the weekend. Her son has super sensitive skin and she reported that he liked the way his laundry came out and no itchy skin. All set, next week we will pick up a bottle. Try it and let me know what you think.

French"s Dijon Mustard can be used so many ways. @crowdtap #sponsored

French’s® Dijon Mustard is a classic condiment which is a must have in my house. I was happy to try it recently through Crowdtap. You can use this delicious condiment in so many ways to make a simple dish a little bit more special. French’s® Dijon Mustard has these amazing bold spices blended with Chardonnay. It is hard to explain but I really enjoy it. It is a great mustard that is a step up from the standard yellow mustartd. I use it for quick salad dressings. French"s Dijon makes my homemade vinaigrette sing. I really like the flavor of  Dijon Mustard, and I use it so many different ways including on my chicken or fish.

I like the sophisticated flavor of French’s® Dijon Mustard, versus the standard yellow mustard. I can use it in viniagrettes and in recipes to add flavor without calories. A viniagrette is a cinch to pull together. Blend a little French’s® Dijon Mustard with some vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper and shake well. Add to your salad and enjoy.

Made French's Party Deviled Eggs with  French’s Dijon Mustard for a snack for my tween too. 

French’s Dijon features the great taste of real Chardonnay, but their recipe is crafted without fillers or thickeners. Check the label for yourself It’s my go-to gourmet mustard because it adds a touch of sophisitication and creativity to my recipes. French’s® Dijon Mustard even makes the average sandwich become something special. Pick up a bottle and try it for yourself.
