Rainbow Bandz Organiziation Box Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Wow, those rainbow looms have been a hot ticket for a while now with kids of all ages. The biggest challenge is keeping all those teeny, tiny colored bands organized. A big box with compartments is one of the best options. It sure makes it easier for the kids to craft but I find it keeps my house so much tidier!
          
The Rainbow Bandz Organization Box is the perfect clear plastic organizer case for rainbow loom and rubber bands with adjustable compartments. It has plenty of room to fit the rainbow loom kit and other connectors. You can personalize it with paint pens from the craft store too. That is what we did. It makes it easy to create cute crafts like the owl above.
Each compartment is 2 inches wide x 1.9 inches deep and is 13 1/2 inches long in maximum. Perfect to organize all your components and keep them off he floor!

Weight Gurus Smartphone Connected Digital Bathroom Scale with Large Backlit LCD and Weightless Technology(c) Review and discount coupon

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
I don't know where you are on your journey to good health. Perhaps you have already found a great route or maybe you are still working your way there. If you are looking for a good tool I have one for you.  I have been working out for years and mostly have my eating (I don't like to call it a diet but you know what I mean) in a good place. It can be a challenge though. You need some help to get to a good place and stay there...trust me. It is not magic as some celebrity people might want you to believe.

A good way to stay true to the plan is with a scale. This is 2014 though and now you have some high tech, but easy to use options that keep you on track even on the go. The Weight Gurus scale comes with a free smartphone app that works with iOS and Android.  The Weight Gurus Smartphone Connected Digital Bathroom Scale was specifically designed to encourage weight loss. The Free Weight Gurus smartphone App (iOS and Android) tracks progress and chart progress to help you reach your goal (smartphone not required for scale use). Weightless technology lets you manage your weight by how much you've lost instead of how much you weigh. With Weightless, you decide how to view your weight: by the number or weightlessly by weight change. This scale includes easy-to-read extra-large, extra-bright backlit display. A perfect option even if you are close to needing glasses like me!
Some key information about th Weight Gurus Smartphone Connected Digital Bathroom Scale, Large Backlit LCD and :
  • Extra-large (4.3"), extra-bright backlit display
  • 400-lb capacity with +/- 0.1-lb resolution 
  • Non-slip, scratch-resistant feet
  • Connects with iOS and Android Devices (smartphone not required for scale use)

I like that the Weight Gurus scale was easy to set up and the app was easy to download on our iphones. It was great because my hubby and I both downloaded it to our iphones and we both can use it.  It is easy and I feel like we can be accountable even when we re out and about. I even had my mom download the app to her iphone.  She was here this past week and totally loved using the app and the Weight Gurus scale.  Now when she comes to visit she can use it and track her weight too. She is thinking about buying her own she loved the idea so much and found it easy to use. Now my mom is one amazing lady if you are wondering...she is no spring chicken (but hey, neither am I) but she looks totally amazing. She follows a healthy eating plan and exercises vigorously between the gym, walking, jogging, weights and yoga she looks 20 years younger. She always laughs because the staff at any doctors office she goes to takes a look at her chart and DOB and then looks at her and seems confused. One new technician even asked her...."Ummm, this must be an error with your date of birth...." She just laughed. If my mom you can use the Weight Gurus scale and the app then you can do it too! 

You can get more information by taking a peek at their website Weight Gurus and you can also follow them for the latest social networking updates on Facebook and Twitter

Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner Review #hairconditioner

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
I have heard and tried a variety of Dead Sea products over the years and been really pleased with the skin care results but I never knew there were hair products too like shampoo and conditioners. Dead Sea Mud has been known for centuries for it's healing properties as you probably know. People travel from all over the world to come and experience the amazing results at the Dead Sea.  You probably are familiar with Dead Sea Salts and Mud since they have been featured in numerous magazines and on those high profile day time shows and even in nationally known newspapers. Dead Sea Mud truly contains the highest concentration of minerals found in mud anywhere in the world. It is pretty exciting that the benefits of Dead Sea mud and salt are now available in shampoos and even deep conditioners too.

Adovia's Dead Sea Deep Hair Conditioner is specially formulated with natural ingredients including 21 Minerals essential to proper skin and hair function.  It really leaves your hair looking super hydrated and healthy with that silky feel that we all love. Regular use helps to reduce the appearance of dandruff and dry, flaky scalp. It also has aloe vera to further nourish the scalp and hair.  I think it works best when you use it with the Dead Sea Salt Shampoo.  That is what I did.

Dead Sea Salt contains more than 21 skin and hair rebuilding minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sulfur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc and potassium. All of these special ingredients bring deep hydration and moisture to the scalp.  This is an excellent option to help relieve itching and flakiness. Think about how all these essential minerals aid in proper skin function and help to regulate moisture retention and hydration.

My thoughts and experiences:  I did use the Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner following the Dead Sea Salt Shampoo. I was surprised at how nicely this conditioner softened my hair and helped it dry without frizz.  My scalp felt good and I noticed my head did not feel dry anymore. My hair was super easy to style and as I continued to use it I noticed my scalp felt healthier with the combination. The winter was so long and dry I actually was experiencing flaking which was unusual for me. I noticed the flaking has stopped and my scalp looks good. I will continue to use both the shampoo and conditioner since it works well for me.

100% Organic Argan Oil Review #VoilaVeSkinCare

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
My hair can be a real challenge to care for with all my issues. I try not to wash it too much...maybe 2 times a week.  I use a gentle, sulfate free shampoo and conditioner but it still looks dull and I feel guilty every time I use my hot brush or blow dryer. I have been moving more towards natural products though.  The timing was perfect when I heard from VoilaVe about trying out their organic, natural Argan Oil for hair and skin. They shared with me that VoilaVe™ Organic Argan Oil can bring back dry, weak, and lifeless hair. It can even impart fresh life into dry cracked skin and cure hard brittle nails.  Since I suffer from all three issues I was the perfect person to try it.

My hands are always so dry and of course my nails and cuticles. I have to say I don't help the cause. I will wash dishes with no gloves instead of just throwing them in the dishwasher.  If the bath needs a touch up between the visits from the housekeeper I am always too lazy to use gloves. I know. I have bad, really bad habits that don't help the cause. My mom always tells me. But at least I know there is something that can help my dry hands and nails now that I know about VoilaVe™ Organic Argan Oil.
The company calls this an Incredible Miracle Oil in a Bottle.  I have to say it is pretty close. I love that VoilaVe™ is 100% Certified Organic Moroccan Argan Oil.  I have been using a few drops on my damp hair after my shower and then styling my hair as usual. It looks much healthier and shinier. I also like that I can just rub it into my hands and cuticles anytime of the day to moisturize them. I like to use it on my hands and nails at night too....I notice they look so much better in the morning and it lasts all day..even with my poor hand care habits.  VoilaVe™ Organics 4oz Argan Oil is 100% CERTIFIED Organic and completely ECO and USDA Certified which is very comforting. I can use it on my hands and not worry about slicing up an apple and eating it for example. No worries!

I was happy to hear that  VoilaVe™ Organic Argan Oil is available on Amazon since that is where I buy much of my health and beauty these days. I really like that this is 100% Certified Organic Argan Oil. It makes me feel more comfortable about using it on my skin.

VoilaVe™ Argan Oil can provide some of these amazing benefits:
  • Strengthened, Vibrant Hair
  • Stronger Roots
  • Brilliant, Hydrated Skin
  • Stronger Nails and Cuticles
