Face Mask - Activated Charcoal Creme Facial Mask by Pure Body Naturals5 out of 5 stars

This face mask is amazing.  I knew I was going to love it before I even put it on my face.  The mask is creamy feeling to the touch and has a silky soft feel as well.  When I put it in my face, I applied a generous layer but not a thick layer on.  I left it on my face for 20 minutes and then rinsed it off.  During the time that it was on my face it did not dry up to the point that it was uncomfortable like some other masks.  I was still able to move and talked without the discomfort.  Once the mask came off my face felt absolutely smooth and refreshed.  

Activated charcoal creme mask deters and removes any unwanted toxins, chemicals and dirt and instead enriches your skin reducing the formation of wrinkles and sagging with vitamins to leave it looking flawless and youthful.

Organic Spirulina Tablets: Purest & Highest Quality Source of Organic Spirulina - 4 Organic Certifications: Certified Organic by USDA, Ecocert, Naturland & OCIA Ð Natures Ultimate Green Superfood Ð Improves Health of Entire Body

I tried the spirulina powder before I tried the tablets.  It is probably a good thing that I did because I appreciate the dietary supplement even more than I did.  As I posted before, the powder has a taste to is that not very pleasant.  But spirulina has so many benefits that I continued to add the powder to my morning smoothies.  Now with the tablets I can completely bypass the unpleasant taste and get right to the benefits.

The tablets are very easy to take.  It is recommended to take 4 tablets daily with or without food.  4 is a bit much for me since I take other dietary supplements so I usually just take 2.

Bluetooth Headphones with Earhook Mic Wireless Earphones Sports in-ear Earbuds Sweatproof Noise Canceling V4.1 Headphones for Workout Running

I bought these bluetooth earphones because I hate getting wrapped up in my cord.  I have my phone on me constantly and I am either listening to music or listening to can audiobook.  Basically at anytime one time I usually have an earbud in my ear.  I wanted to have something that would give me the freedom of being cordless and also to not have to find a place to stick my phone.  These earphones are a perfect solution to that problem.  Not only do they stay snug in  my ear but they are also comfortable.  I did test the range on them and they have really great range.  I can go to the other side of the lower level of my house without loosing my connection with my phone.  

My husband used them while running and he loves them.  He said they stayed in snug to his ear, was comfortable even when he started to sweat.

The sound quality is great and I also love that I can answer calls on this as well.

Cable Sleeve - 6 FOOT LONG Cord Organizer Cover by Melca

      

I bought this cable sleeve to clean up my desk at work.  I make my cubicle at work at comfortable and as homey as possible.  With that said I have several non-work related cords under my desk.  So along with my computer cord, my calculator cord,  and my phone cord, I have a cord to my heater blanket (temp stability in my office is nonexistent), my fan/heater, my salt lamp cord, my chair massager, and my personal kureig.  It is literally a hot mess under my desk.  This cable sleeve has tamed my OCD!  The cords under my desk look nice and organized and all cleaned up.  Best part of this cord sleeve is that I can customize the size to what I need.

Camping Cookware - Cooking Set includes Pot, Pan, Utensils, Cups, and cleaning Loofah. Nonstick Equipment for Hiking, Backpacking, and Camp Cooking

I don't camp often but I do camp about 1-2 times per year.  Nothing spectacular by any means.  My camping experience stems from cabin camping with the Girl Scouts.  To save money on paper products and also to prevent unnecessary trash we ask that all campers bring a mess kit that consists of a plate, bowl, cup and utensils.  When I saw this camping set I just had to have it.  This set has absolutely everything that you could possibly need with the exception of your dinner napkin.  I love how everything just stacks up ad packs up nice and neat.  The carrying pouch that comes with it is great too for transport and to carry around.

NONSTICK - Your camping cook set is made out of 100% FDA approved Anodized Aluminum.

COMPACT - Just over 6 inches in diameter! No more packing bulky dishes before a camping trip.

LIGHTWEIGHT - This outdoor mess kit only weighs 1 pound. Nicely fits inside your pack or tied to the outside.

10 PIECE MESS KIT - Includes camping pot, pan, lid, 2 bowls, wooden spoon spatula, dish cleaning loofah, soup spoon, folding spork, carry bag.

FDA APPROVED - BPA Free bowls and non-toxic Anodized Aluminum outdoor cooking kit can handle heat from campfires and portable cook stoves.

I used the set for the first time this weekend only first ever tent camping experience.  I hated sleeping in a tent by the way.  anyways, this set was perfect.  It had everything that I needed for the weekend and then some.  The only thing that I wish it did have was a plate.  I didn't like having everything in my bowl.  I had to use the frying pan for a makeshift plate.  I think that this set would probably be more suitable for a backpacker that is cooking individual meals.

Shampoo and Body Wash, 100% Arabica Bean Coffee All Natural, 8 Fl oz. Anti Hair Loss Prevention, Restore Hair Growth, Manageable Hair Regrowth, By Pure Body Naturals

I love coffee!!!!  So naturally I thought I would love bathing in coffee too.  Well, naturally...

This shampoo and body wash smells just like a coffee shop.  If that is your thing that YOU will totally love this!  

When I was in school I used to love studying in the local Starbucks.  When I left and got home I still had that coffee smell lingering on me and I loved it.  

I have used this as both a shampoo and a body wash.  I have to squirt 3 times into my loofah to get a great lather that lasts for the entirety of trying to scrub up.  This is a bit disappointing as the bottle is only 8 fl oz.  I have shoulder length hair and 2 squirts is just enough for me.  The lather is great and the moisturizing is great as well.  The smell is amazing!

This shampoo and body wash formula is actually made with real brewed coffee.  How cool is that?!?

Majestic Pure Hibiscus Flower Bath Salt, Intense Moisture Boost, Anti Ageing, Even Skin Tone, 20 oz

Day 2 of getting my husband to soak his feet.  I know this says "bath salt" but we used it as a foot soak.  There are ingredients in this bath salt that are great for aches and pains such as the epsom salt and the magnesium sulfate.  After running his first marathon I figured his feet could use another day of pampering.  *day 1 consisted of a Tea Tree oil foot soak*

Not only was he relaxed but by some miracle even more dead skin came off leaving his feet even softer then the day before.  He didn't like the scent much as he said "I'm a man" <--actual quote.  I thought the scent was great and it actually filled the room.

Majestic Pure Hibiscus Flower Bath Salt is crafted with the skin smoothing goodness of hibiscus flowers and the gentle healing power of dead sea salt and Epsom salt. This luxurious treatment for you skin will leave your skin very hydrated and super soft.

Hibiscus flower effectively revives the skin since it's plentiful in anti aging alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) and amino acids. The skin-perfecting benefits of hibiscus are endless-it exfoliates, protects against premature aging, tones, firms, hydrates and controls oil production-and is sometimes used in anti-cellulite creams and serums.

• Known to help increase skin elasticity
• Natural and gentle way to exfoliate skin
• Protects skin against premature aging
• Help improve the texture, tone & appearance of your skin
• Help fight skin damaging free radicals
• Help skin stay hydrated, soft and supple
• Help prevent muscle cramping and soreness

Majestic Pure Tea Tree Essential Oil Foot Soak with Epsom Salt, 20 oz - Fights Toenail & Foot Fungus - Soothes Tired Aching Feet & Helps Soften Corns & Calluses

I love tea tree oil.  I use it mainly for the benefits of anti fungal and antibacterial uses.  It helps with decreasing acne on my face, back and chest.  When I get a flare up on my back it is cause by a fungus.  Sounds gross but it is not what it sounds like.  It is hormonal.  Damn hormones!  Anyways, my point is that I have had great success using tea tree oil.

Being able to use this in a foot soak was exciting for me (I have no life).  

As you can see there is more than just tea tree oil in this foot soak.

• Epsom salt is known to help reduce aches and pains and soothe tired muscles
• Chamomile has anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, antimicrobial, anti-viral, anti-pruritic, anti-parasitic, antihistamine, analgesic, diaphoretic, nervine, vasodilatory, antimutagenic, anxiolytic, and sedative properties. Chamomile contains spiroether, a powerful anti-spasmodic agent that help relax tense muscles

This past weekend after my husband ran his first marathon I was all but happy to offer to get a foot soak ready for him.  His feet were sore and swollen and I thought this soak would help.  Not only did it soothe his swollen feet but the dead skin that come off was a bonus too (a gross bonus but a bonus nonetheless).

100% Organic Blend of Olive, Lavender, Almond & Grapeseed oil with Vitamin E, Daily Moisturizer for Skin, Hair, Face, Scalp, Cuticle, Nails & Foot. Pure, Cold Pressed, Body oil for Men and Women, 4 oz from Ancient Greek Remedy Oil

I am always looking for a great moisturizer.  Sometimes I feel like a my skin, especially my shins, are perpetually dry and ashy.  And sometimes my skin just looks dry even though I use lotions and moisturizers.  

What I love about this moisturizing oil is that it soaks into my skin nicely especially after a shower.  It is almost like my clean skin after a shower is rejoicing.  I typically only use the oil on the lower part of my legs as that is where my skin needs the most attention.  I imagine that once winter comes and the air is dryer that I may use the oil all over.  

It only takes one nice spray on to my lower area of my skin to be enough to spread all around.  The scent of the oil is very nice and pleasant.  I can imagine that some people with sensitive noses may not like it but I love it and so does my family (the tell me I smell nice on the days that I use it.  makes me wonder what I smell like on those other days.).

Majestic Pure Helichrysum Essential Oil, Premium Quality Helichrysum Italicum, 1 Fluid Ounce

Helichrysum essential oil is extracted from helichrysum flowers and extensively used in many healing applications. It is known by its French synonym, "immortelle" that means everlasting.  Helichrysum oil has antiseptic, anticatarrhal, anticoagulant, anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anti-bacterial properties.

Helichrysum essential oil blends well with geranium, lavender, rose, lime, neroli, orange, petit grain, sage and ylang-ylang oils.

I was not familiar with the oil prior to receiving it.  When I first opened the bottle I braced myself with the unfamiliar scent.  I was pleasantly surprised by the sweet scent that came out of it.  The Helichrysum oil is great on its own in the diffuser or mixed with other oils.  I have so far mixed it with lemon and lavender.  

Because I love the scent so much, I plan on infusing this oil into a lotion.  The oil is great for reducing the pain of arthritis, helps with scars, acne, and stretch marks.  All of which I have so infusing this into a lotion is going to work great and, of course, smell great.

I have been happy with all of my Majestic Pure oils and this oil is no exception.

Reusable Drinking Straws For Kids, Bonus Collapsible Cup and Small Replacement Straw ToGo, Silicone Material, Flexible, Perfect for Smoothie Milkshake and Yeti Tumbler Cups

I bought these straws to use in my Yeti style tumblers.  If you are familiar with the large 32 oz tumblers then you know that once you have them filled with water and ice they can be very heavy.  Because of this I don't like to tip the tumbler back to take a drink.  I saw these straws and they work perfectly.  Plus I tend to drink more water when I am drinking out of a straw.

The other reason that I bought this set was for the collapsible cup.  It fits perfectly in my pocket and when I take my dog on a walk I can simply take it out of my pocket, extend it and then fill it with water.  I love this!!

Quality is awesome and I know that I am going to have this for a very long time!

Pure Magnesium Oil Spray with Organic Aloe Vera -Safe For Sensitive Skin -ONE 12oz Transdermal Magnesium Spray for Joint Pain, Sore Muscles, Cramps, Migraines, Restless Leg Syndrome, Headaches & Sleep

Magnesium is considered to be the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. It is an essential mineral for your health because it is responsible for over 300 enzymatic and metabolic reactions in your body. It is also needed to help your body fight inflammation, reducing joint pain and body aches. 

Magnesium oil is easily absorbed by the body, giving instant result. Many people have found that by massaging their joints with this mineral solution, it can relief pains associated with arthritis and muscle aches. Others have also notice that it can help rejuvenate their skin, reducing wrinkles and the negative effects of sun damage to the skin. If you are a person who is suffering from a lot of body aches and joint pains, you may want to give magnesium oil a try.

I bought the magnesium oil for my husband.  He has restless leg syndrome and he is also an avid runner.  So muscle soreness, body aches and joint pains are a common occurrence.  I have been spraying the oil on his legs about every 2-3 days.  He's been a trooper by letting me do this but at the same time he's also getting a leg rub down.  He says that there seems to be a decrease in the intensity of his legs "jumping around" when he is laying in bed.  The magnesium spray also came in handy because he just completed his first marathon last weekend.  That night when he was laying in bed I gave him a massage and finished up using the magnesium spray.  Because this was his first marathon we are unsure if the spray helped or not.  I guess it's hard to say exactly how beat up your body should feel after running 26 miles.  

The oil does not leave behind a residue or have any bad odors.

Majestic Pure Eucalyptus Essential Oil, 4 Fluid Ounce, Therapeutic Grade

Another great essential oil from Majestic Pure.  

I have been fighting allergies lately and this eucalyptus oil (mixed with other oils) has been my lifesaver.  Eucalyptus has a scent that first reminds me of Vicks...but hold on don't let that deter you from this great essential oil.  This EO smells fair better then Vicks ever did.  The scent is a lot less potent and is also sweeter.  Which is great since I have been diffusing it to help with my stuffy nose and congestion brought on by my new puppy.  I'm allergic to dogs but once I get used to them they are no longer a problem.  I have had my new puppy for about 2 weeks now and I am not used to her quite yet.

I mix the EO with clove and lemon.  The combination is soothing and powerful.  I put on my bedside table and am able to sleep peacefully without waking up because I'm stuffy or breathing through my mouth.

Eucalyptus oil is great to help with loosen mucus and to ease congestion.  Mixed with lemon, like I used, or other citrus oil will help break down mucus as well.  I also used clove oil which is helpful as an antibacterial and viral relief.

Majestic Pure Frankincense Essential Oil, Therapeutic Grade, 4 fl. Oz

I make it no secret that my favorite way to use essential oils is to diffuse them in my diffuser.  sometimes I diffuse them simply because I like the scent and then other times I am doing it with purpose.  Rather it is to create a mood or a healing.  

When I first opened this bottle my first thought was black licorice.  Slightly strong at first and then once the scent hangs out there in the air it is...sweet, maybe.  Anyways, it is certainly one of those scents that I would say you either love or hate it.  By the way, if you ever hate a scent but want the benefits of it you can always mix it with something else to offset the scent that you don't like.  This is exactly what I did with frankincense.  My favorite mixture was with lemon.

Frankincense oil is known to help with promoting a feeling of peace and relaxation so diffusing it is a great way to try and relax while enjoying a great scent.

Now once I had my fun diffusing there oil I wanted to try and use another way.  Frankincense oil can also be used to heal wounds from cuts, scrapes and burn.  With this in mind I decided to use the oil as a way to treat ingrown hairs and occasional razor burns when shaving my bikini line.  The oil contains a potent antiseptic properties that make it good for protecting an ingrown hair from germs and infection.  If you have sensitive skin you could first dilute it with jojoba oil or reship oil.  I did not need to dilute it at all.

Wonder Cream for Stretch Mark and Scars

I was first attracted to this particular cream because of the main ingredients shown here on the picture.  I have used a combination of mango butter, shea butter and cocoa butter in my own homemade lotions and I have loved the mixture of them.  I typically use coconut oil and not almond oil but after using this cream I think I will give it a try.

I have had 2 children and so I definitely have stretch marks on mid section and my thighs.  After 2 weeks of using this I'm not sure how much of a difference that I have had.  The area of skin that I have used it on is much softer but I think it is still too early to tell if there is much fading that is happening.  The smell is pleasant and again...huge bonus for the softness of my skin!

Aromatherapy Essential Oils Set of Top 8 from Majestic Pure, Therapeutic Grade Oil Gift Set

This is a great set of 8 10mL essential oils.  I got this set originally for myself but when I got it I was so impressed with the set and the box that came with it that I ended up giving it to a friend of mine as a "I know you have been wanting to experience essential oils and I know that you won't feel weird about telling me your experience so that I can write a review for it" gift.  LOL!

My friend has been wanting to move into a more holistic way of life and I thought that this set of 8 was a good start for her.  so far she has used the peppermint in her diffuser to help with her sinuses.  She suffers from seasonal allergies and diffusing peppermint helps clear sinuses and relieve itchy throats.  She has used the lavender in the diffuser for her son's room at night.  Lavender is known for its relaxing qualities and she uses it to help her son sleep better.  And lastly, she has used the lemon oil as an ingredient as a natural disinfectant.  Add 40 drops lemon oil and 20 drops of tea tree oil to a 16 oz spray bottle with water and a bit of white vinegar. 

That is all that she has used so far but she says that she loves them and that it is a good sampler set for a starter and even great for travel or at the office.

By. Far. My. Favorite. Scent!

Up until receiving this grapefruit scented essential oil I thought my favorite scent was lemongrass.  I still love lemongrass as it was my first love but grapefruit is amazing.  It is exactly what you would imagine grapefruit to smell like.  When I first slice in to a grapefruit it usually has almost a sour scent that comes with it but in this essential oil it is all sweet scented grapefruit.

I diffuse most of my essential oils.  Occasionally I will add it to a homemade lotion which is exactly what I did with this oil.  It incorporates well.  And all I can say is...YUM!!!

ULTIMATE Natural Charcoal Face Wash - Antiaging Cleanser Made With Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Orange Peel, Organic Aloe Vera, & Vitamin C 6 OZ Mens Exfoliating Scrub

          


I am always in search of face and skin products that I like.  I experiment a lot with moisturizers, cleansers, creams, etc.  I have a complicated relationship with my skin.  Sometimes my skin likes me and behaves and other days it hates me and behaves very, very badly.

I tried this clearer and there are a lot of things that I like about it.
Here are the pros:
-great ingredients.  coconut oil helps keep my skin soft.  anti-bacterial helps with issues I have with acne. Activated charcoal is great with purification of my skin.
-Paraben free, gluten free, dye free, animal cruelty free and vegan

Running Sunglasses : Lightweight Sports Sunglasses for Men and Women - Best Sunglasses for Running, Cycling, Golf, Driving, Fishing & All Outdoor Activities, With Yellow Lens For Better Performance

I bought these glasses for my husband.  He started running regularly the past couple of years and now runs races anywhere from 5Ks - marathons.  As these glasses are advertised as being running glasses I figured he could use them.  2 days later I received them via Amazon Prime.  I didn't tell him that I was getting them for him and he has actually never mentioned that he was interested in ever wanted these such glasses.  To my surprise he was excited about getting them.  He tells me that when he runs his races that most runners are wearing these glasses.

Now for him to test them.  He says that they are something to get used to since they make things look different (brighter).  He can see the appeal to them and will use them only when he runs on trails as trail running tends to be darker and these glasses brighten things up.  He just prefers his other glasses more.  Aside from that he says that they are comfortable to wear and that it is solely a preference of what people like.

These glasses to come in a really great case.  They will be well protected when not in use.

Stereo Earbuds with Microphone and Remote, High Quality Sound for Galaxy S5 s7, s7 Edge, s6, S6 Edge, Note 4 5, galaxy s5 earbuds, Headphones by Strobz® (BLACK)

It's always good to have an extra pair of earbuds around and these are exactly those earbuds in my house.  I would not compare these to a set of earbuds that you would want as your main set.  They work fine and perform the job they are meant to but there are some downsides such as the fact that they are not noise cancelling.  However there are some redeeming qualities such as that they come with extra ear gels and that they are capable of answering calls and that you can also control the volume on the cord as well.

Restoration® Inflatable Travel Neck Pillow - Best Traveling Pillow For Neck Pain Relief & Orthopedic Support - Black

I recently started flying a new budget airline called Frontier Airlines.  I have since traveled on their planes 2 times within a 4 month span.  The first time my family and I flew to Orlando for a week to go to Disney and Universal.  The second time I flew to Phoenix to visit a friend.  If you are unfamiliar  with this particular airline then you may not be aware of one of the ways that they cut costs to make the plane tickets affordable.  You pretty much have to pay for any luggage that you bring on to the plane with an exception to what they call a "personal item".  The personal item must be within the dimensions of 8"x18"x14".  These dimensions are rather small and challenging to work with especially when you are traveling and will be gone for an entire week.  Anyways, we were not only able to work with these dimensions but it was easier then we thought and now I am constantly looking for my next cheap destination.  Here in lies why I bought this inflatable neck pillow.  Obviously, it doesn't take up a lot of space.  It was easy to inflate and was comfortable.  It has a soft fuzzy outside and a bag to carry it in.  One downside is that it does not fill like your traditional travel pillow so know that going into buying this.  I am not sure I would rely on this particular travel pillow for an extended international flight as I would need something more comfortable.  However, for the purposes of taking up very little room this pillow was great.

Relax Therapeutic Body Massage Oil - Contains Best Essential Oils for Sore Muscles & Stiffness – Lavender, Peppermint &Marjoram - All Natural - With Sweet Almond, Grapeseed & Jojoba Oil 8.5oz

I get massages about 1-2 times per month.  My reasons for these massages are for therapeutic reasons first and relaxation second.  I have some aches and pains that can be severe at times and these massages are helpful in relieving the tension and tightness in my muscles and for overall well-being of my body.  

I asked one of the massage therapists if she would be open to using the massage oil on me.  She agreed and used it in one of our sessions.  Her comment was simply that it was easy to work with and felt very similar to her professional grade massage oil that she uses on her clients.  My impression of it was that it felt the same on my skin as the usual massage oil that she uses and that my skin did not feel greasy afterwards which is a big plus.

I found the lavender scent very soothing.  The peppermint in the oil helps balance out the lavender smell.

I plan on using this massage oil on my husband, who is an avid runner, on the days that he has worked his muscles hard.  I also think that this would be useful on the days that my youngest daughter experiences her growing pains in her legs.

Sol Beauty® Tea Tree Oil - 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Oil - Works With Shampoo, Soap, Face Wash, Body Wash. Also Treats AcneAnd Other Skin Ailments - 4 oz

This Tea Tree oil for Sol Beauty is 100% natural, cold pressed and unrefined.  It is a natural antiseptic  which means it can be used and applied directly to cuts, scrapes, sunburns, and insect bites.  Tea Tree oil can also be used to soothe sore muscles and acne.  This oil can also be incorporated into your shampoo or body wash.

I mostly use tea tree oil as an acne treatment.  The way that I use it is for spot treating pimples that I want to get rid or or reduce the size.  First, start with a clean face.  Second, add a few drops on the tip of a Q-tip and dab it on the pimple.  I do this at night as I rinse my face in the morning.  I always notice a decrease in the size and redness of the pimple in the morning.  

Another way that I use this as an acne treatment is that I dilute it with water into a glass spray bottle (one of those blue spray bottles commonly used for essential oils).  I have acne issues that spring up on my back and chest so after a shower I will spray my back and chest with the diluted (about 50/50) oil.
