Zoya is absolutely one of my favorite nail polish brands. Out of all of my nail polishes about 90% are Zoya. They have great non-streaking colors and the formula says it all. I can't wait to try the Jelly Brites from Zoya. A jelly finish is one of my all time favorite finishes. I have a lot of Zoya's other jelly finishes and they are buildable! I hate, hate when you try to build up a polish and it stays goopy and never dries. I don't have that issue with Zoya and their jelly finishes are truly "jelly finishes". They don't look like any other ordinary polish that "claims" to be a jelly finish. The code that Zoya has provided is a great code and I plan to take advantage! Common.. 3 free polishes with any purchase? Yes, please.

Ready To Get Back To Work! (Hospital Blog)

2018-05-25T06:54:00.000-04:00

READY TO GET BACK TO WORK!

(HOSPITAL BLOG)

Hello everyone!,

There are not enough words to thank everyone who has sent kind words, thoughts/prayers, and positive vibes my way from companies to my friends/viewers here on Just A Country Gal. As many of you know I have Chronic Myeloid Leukemia which has landed me in and out of the hospital. I have gone through some rough times in the past 5-6 months. I've dealt with anemia, mini-strokes, and horrible pain from my chemotherapy. My chemo has been very taxing on my body. I became very weak months back and ended up in the hospital attached to IV's and having meds given to me left and right. I could barely walk or lift my head. I don't want to go into everything that's happened in there because it was very scary for me. I literally thought I was going to die. I'm not one to complain a lot and I try my best to fight. I try to put off my illness's as much as possible because well I absolutely HATE the hospital. I don't want to go if I don't have to. It's safe to say that most people are in the same boat as me and hate the hospital as well.

I've been in severe depression in these past couple of months not only because of everything that's happened in and out of the hospital. My chemo has had some very bad side effects and one of those is tooth decay. While I was in the hospital my teeth became much, much worse. I went from having perfect zero cavity teeth to my teeth becoming incredibly bad and dealing with intense pain. The Dr's tried everything they could to save my teeth, but unfortunately I have to have all of them removed. A lot of people are embarrassed to talk about these types of things when it comes to cancer and what chemotherapy does to you, but this was one topic I had to get off my chest. I've been crying everyday over this. The pain has been unbearable. I have to go soon and have all of my teeth cut out and be fit for dentures. I'm 28 years old and I'll now be a denture wearer. I now know it's nothing to be ashamed of, but it's been a hard thing to deal with. I know a lot of people are embarrassed as well when these things happen to them because they're afraid of what people might think of them. That was my position too. I was worried that people would look at me and think "She must be on drugs.. look at her teeth!". That was my fear of what people would think. I wish that you could look at a person and know their struggles with health so that in this society people wouldn't judge you.

With that being said Id like to take this opportunity to talk to you about Chronic Myeloid Leukemia struggles and what you can do to help me out. There are so many Cancer diagnosis's out there right now and it's sad. There are people that are worse off than me. There are people that need help. As for some of the things I've mentioned above you can see what chemo and my cancer does to me.. imagine what others go through. My Grandpa had Prostate and Bladder cancer and he was my rock. He died 5 years ago and it was one of the hardest times of my life. The struggles I've seen him go through was far worse than my struggles. He was always there for me when I was at Dr's appointments, surgeries, and whatever my problems were.. he was there to hold my hand/give me a BIG hug. I know a lot of my viewers out there have people in their lives who have/had cancer or maybe they themselves are dealing with cancer. There are so many things you can do for cancer patients. You could donate, volunteer, spend some time with them while they're doing chemo treatments, do marathons, do walks, ext. If you have the feeling that you want to help please do research on what you can do to help my fellow survivors/fighters out. I will post some links of things you can research and do to help. I would like to talk about what you could do specifically for my cancer CML among other Leukemia diagnosis's. You can be tested and join "Be The Match". You may be asking.. "What's That?". (Be The Match) has been around for a while now and it is a program that is completely FREE. Everything from shipping to the kit is FREE. They will send you a kit that contains a swab.. kind of like a Q-Tip. All you have to do is swab the inside of your cheek for a couple of seconds and then it's done. You can send it off and you may be called saying that you're a match. What does that mean when you are a match to another person(A Leukemia Patient)? That means YOU could save their life.

A lot of people think that you have to go through incredible pain to help during these types of programs to help a cancer patient, but you do not. The pain is very minimal. Have you ever got punched in the hip? That is the pain you'd feel. The feel of a slight punch in the hip. That feeling would only last 2-3 days if that. What id like to ask is can you wage the that feeling of pain over saving someone's life?

You could save someone. You may not know that person, but if you've had a family member dealing with this horrible disease and you've wished you could help them.. this may not help them directly, but it is saving a life. Foundations like this are begging people to come forward - to be brave and be a hero! This would mean so much to me if you would sign up to "Be The Match".

There are so many people out there who are out of remission.. including me. There are some people who are medication resistant who cannot take chemo because it no longer works and are waiting for people like you to step up and save them. There are so many people that will die this year of my horrible disease as well as other types of Leukemia because they will not find a donor.

Here is the link to "Be The Match"!

Go to https://bethematch.org/

Here is one of my fellow fighters on Good Mythical Morning I've recently watched who has the exact same cancer type as I. He is medication resistant and they will show the process in which you would go through when you receive the kit.

Here is the link to the American Cancer Society so you can do research and find out things you can do for your loved one with cancer or what you can do in general for those who are going through this rough time.

American Cancer Society: https://www.cancer.org/

Id like to thank you all AGAIN who've sent kind words, prayers, and thoughts my way through this hard time in my life. It's meant SOOO much to me. You have no idea. Thank you for listening and reading my post. Thank you for letting me rant to you all on occasion.

There will be upcoming blog posts very soon and I can't wait to get back into letting you know what I think of products. Thank you for being patient.

Much love and appreciation, Sarah

I received my Snuggle-Pedic mattress two days after ordering it through amazon prime. You can find Snuggle-Pedic on amazon. It comes in a thin box with handles which made it much easier on us to transport. I had it delivered to my Mom's house when a lot of the flooding was going on in our area and when it cleared up.. my husband and I carried it out to the car to take to our home. When we got home we sat our bed next to our bed base. It's best when you get a mattress like this one that you have it close to your bed for easier access and to minimize having to carry such a large mattress when it's open. When it's open it's much bigger than when it's in the package so you'll want it close by when opening. Our Snuggle-Pedic mattress came with a little opener that kind of looked like a letter opener to open up the plastic on the mattress. It's wrapped really tight so that no air leaves it until you're ready to open it. We rolled out the mattress, sat, and watched it rise. It took about 30 minutes to rise and we were in awe of how quickly it rose. My husband and I ended up sleeping on it that night. I am a Chronic Pain Patient with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia so for years there has not been a night I've not woken up with pain. I was surprised the first two nights of sleep I never woke up. In fact the whole week I only woke up once out of the seven days of rest I gave the mattress. Now, I know what you're thinking. Seven days? Yes, I only slept on the mattress for seven days, but I will be sleeping on it a full month, doing an update video, and doing an updated blog post. I think giving a mattress a week of sleep isn't ideal so I like to do a month update so stay tuned for that. Now moving onto the rest of the review. A lot of people sometimes go through a transition phase when they first get a memory foam mattress and I have to say that I didn't however my husband did for the first two days. We can't figure out if it was him transitioning or if it was because he worked and lifted a lot at work the two days prior. I'm going to say it's probably a combination of both. This mattress is so soft, but not so soft that you just sink right down into the mattress. It's soft, yet firm enough to support your body and provide the pressure relief it needs. I would rate the mattress as Medium-Soft and you can see on the scale below of 1 out of 10 id rate the mattress. I felt as though my hips, back, and shoulders were cradled nicely by the bed. The Snuggle-Pedic mattress is good for back, side, and stomach sleepers! It's a 10'' mattress and I have always heard the higher the inches the better it would be for stomach and side sleepers, but I was wrong. My husband and I both are side sleepers and I am also a back sleeper. We felt like it gave us the support we needed all along. I have tried a lot of high end memory foam mattress and I can safely say that this mattress bats them out of the park. I mean why spend thousands of dollars when you can get a mattress this good and of good quality for a price that's a fraction of the cost you would spend on the expensive brands. I have to say I was even a little skeptical at the "bed-in-the-box" phenomena. I thought that it couldn't be as great as the expensive brands I've tried in the past, but I was so wrong. This mattress gave me everything I needed in a mattress. I mean it has a Kool-Flow cover, Ventilation Holes, and Channeling all together that makes this mattress sleep cool. I used to burn to death with my previous mattress and now I can go through the night without getting barely hot at all and the hotness I do get is from the hot flashes/night sweats I get from my Leukemia. I can't wait to sleep the rest of the month in rotation with the others to see how the Snuggle-Pedic stacks up to the other brands in this series. I cannot forget to tell you that Snuggle-Pedic comes with a 120 day sleep trial.. that's 4 months you get to try this mattress out and in that time if you do not like the way it feels you can exchange it for free customizations. Say you want it a little softer or maybe a little firmer? Snuggle-Pedic has you covered!

I wished I could of gotten better pictures because these pictures do NOT do the mattress justice!

Beautiful Kool-Flow Extra Breathable Micro-Ventilated Ivory Cover! I just love the color of this cover. It's such a beautiful Ivory and it feels so soft. It has almost that changing of a texture to where you can run your hands over it and it changes almost into a tad bit of a darker color. I can't think of the name of what I'm trying to say, but if you think of the couches and pillows you can rub back and forth, feel, and see the change then you'll know what I'm talking about.

I will be taking updated pictures of the mattress in better lighting. My camera is currently being worked on due to the setting controls not being accurate. I'm getting it fixed to see if I can get the settings adjusted. Until then there are pictures of my bedding on the mattress so you can see and I've provided stock images until then.

Check Out The Video I Did For Snuggle-Pedic Through My Process of Sleep! Be sure to watch the video in HD for better quality. The quality it naturally sets at makes it a little fuzzy so the HD quality is a much better view of the mattress. Please excuse the room. We're remodeling our home and this is our spare room at the moment while re-doing our home. The rest of our home right now is pretty much under construction with painting, putting up trim, and ext. So, this is our spare/office room for the time being until we get the rest of the house finished.

Zero Gravity Position (I got a little confused in my video with another position when it came to me hitting Zero G. I thought I had sit it to another position by accident.) The position shown in the video is really the Zero G Position that it comes standard by, but you can also as I've mentioned in the video set your own Zero G position of your liking.

Raised Foot Position

Flat Position

I got the Classic Brands Adjustable Comfort Bed Base in the mail and I was surprised by how big the box was. Of course the box is going to be big it's a Queen size, but still it was pretty large. I had to help the mail carrier lift it up on the porch. The bed base weighed in at about 147lbs. My husband and I opened up the box and looked for the directions and I was surprised by how easy the instructions were. Everything is color coated and it comes with an alan wrench to tighten all of your screws which there aren't a lot of screws which was nice. It came with 3 different leg lengths and of course we chose the highest at 10.5inches. There are six legs on this bed instead of the standard four most beds come with. I really like that they've put six legs on the bed for better stability and longevity. I feel as though this bed is going to last a LONG time. Everything seemed to made well and I really love the design. It took my husband and I about 30 minutes to assemble the bed and we were done and ready to put our mattress on it and test it out! The Classic Brands Adjustable Comfort Bed Base comes with a wireless battery operated remote in which the batteries were included! That in my book is just good business ..call me crazy, but anytime batteries are included it just proves to me that the company went the extra mile to please their customers not to mention the tool that was provided to put it together. We put our mattress on the bed and started testing out the controls on the remote and of course the first thing I wanted to try was the massage feature. You can choose to massage your head, feet, and or both. I tested all three out and my favorite is to massage my head and feet at the same time which it has in the middle a wavy sign that you can hit that will do just that. The massager has three different settings for your liking. You can choose to have a stronger or lighter massage.. it's totally up to you. Then we tried all of the pre-programmed positions - Flat, Zero G, Raised Foot, and Raised Head. Now when I'm talking about the Zero G position in the video I got a little mixed up because you can set your Zero G and I had forgot that Zero G is where you're laying flat, but your feet are raised. You do not have to keep that as your Zero G. See your Zero G may be different from Classic Brand's Zero G. You can set your bed base to which ever position you like manually and hold down the Zero G button for 3 seconds and it sets your Zero G. That way if you want to come in and go to your desired position you can just hit the button and you're there. The bed base also comes with two USB ports on the right side of the bed. I couldn't show it in the video because of the fact that our bed was against the wall, but I did include a picture at the end and will here as well. The USB ports work great! I love being able to reach over and plug in my cell and play with my cell in bed. Most of the time I always had it plugged in half way across the room and Id have to get up for every message or email I get in a day and trust me it's A LOT! Now, I can work and I can pick up my cell while it's charging while plugged into the bed and check everything I need to right then and there. This bed base has blown my mind. I have previously tried other bed bases in the past, but was never really satisfied with how the massager massaged me or how loud the massager was. With the Classic Brands Adjustable Comfort Bed Base the massager massages me the way that I like and I have the different options as well as the motor is very light with the sound. It's very quite compared to other bed bases I've tried! I'm really thankful for this bed base because my husband suffers from a touch of sleep apnea and he also snores a little bit, but I used to stay up ALL night long nudging him to make sure he was breathing fine. Now, I've noticed that he's not stopped breathing once since we've sit the bed up at night. He also doesn't snore as much.. although that doesn't really bother me. To me that's a cute feature that my husband just happens to have haha. I myself have terrible acid reflux and GERD. I would get terrible heartburn at night and it would wake me up it was so bad. I'm even on heartburn medication, but I know a lot of you who like to eat before bed or may have previously ate spicy foods early on in the day..that's still going to be with you during the nighttime. It's nice that just raising my bed can prevent my heartburn from getting as bad as it was. I used to have acid come up in my throat when id sleep flat ... I know GROSS! So now when I raise my bed up ... no acid. This bed has been one of the best selling beds on Amazon and I can see why. It's price point is GREAT, the features, and benefits are worth every penny. If you're in the market for a great, well made, and sturdy bed base then this bad boy is the one to go with!

Textual Tees T-Shirts Review

Textual Tees T-Shirts Review

I came across Textual Tees while on my search for my husband and I's favorite tv-shows. One of my all time favorite tv shows is Buffy The Vampire Slayer while his is Star Trek. Textual Tees is one of the places I've found that carries a large variety of the shirts I was looking for. It was hard for me going from site to site with no luck in finding the tv show shirts I was looking for until I came across Textual Tees. They carry category shirts in: TV/FILM, SCI-FI, SPORTS, MATH & SCIENCE, SEASONAL SHIRTS, POP CULTURE, and the list goes on and on! They carry shirts, hoodies, and tanks for Men, Women, and Kids. They said it would be around 3-6 days before I received my shirts, but I was surprised to receive them so fast. I received them in 3 days. Textual Tees customer service is splendid. They helped me through any issues and gave me advice on my shirts. I was blown away! They sell their shirts at mind blowing prices. They have shirts as low as $5.99 and a lot of their shirts run around that range. I mean $5.99 for a well made t-shirt is hard to come by. I got my husband a size 2xl which may have been slightly a little big on him, but he still loves and cherishes it. He is a full blown trekkie fan. I chose the Star Trek USS Enterprise Blue Print T-Shirt for him as a surprise. When I got it in the mail and showed him he flipped out. He was so happy that I chose that shirt for him.. he gave me a big hug! I took pictures of him in the shirt as well as I in mine, but disregard his non-smile. He doesn't like to smile in pictures for the internet because he's shy. Before the picture he was all smiles and hugs. You know men though they have to be stoic in pictures. I opened up the box and pulled out my shirt and I was in love. I chose the Sunnydale Razorbacks T-Shirt which if you don't know Buffy The Vampire Slayer...Sunnydale is where Buffy lives and the Razorbacks is the Sunnydale High School's mascot name. I can walk around and pretend I'm apart of Buffy's crew. Haha, I know I'm lame. What can I say though.. I love my tv shows! I'm thrilled with both t-shirts. I can say though when you're ordering a women's size t-shirt make sure that you go up a size. I usually wear a medium, but I went up to a large because these shirts run kind of small at least in women's they do. Yes, I've washed the shirts several times now and none of the writing has withered or cracked. The shirts like I said are of good quality. The shirt fit well. It fit like my typical medium shirts do. I can honestly say I've never been so happy with these t-shirts. It made my husband so happy and that was worth so much to me. Thank you Textual Tees! Check out Textual Tees and be sure to sign up for their mailing list because they throw out discount offers a lot and you might be able to get t-shirts at an even lower price or free shipping! You never know. I mean think of all the t-shirts you could buy... well, what are you waiting for? Go check them out! Their links will be at the bottom.

Here is my husband with stoic look in his t-shirt he loves so much!

Here's me in my Buffy The Vampire Slayer Shirt I love so much!

Want a preview of some of the t-shirts Textual Tees carries?

As you can see they carry a lot of shirts! These are some I thought were pretty cool. I'm definitely going to be placing more orders with Textual Tees. At $5.99 a shirt you can't beat it and plus when I joined the mailing club.. if I get a discount code. I'm going to be all over that.

Five Finger Tees Review

2018-04-04T06:42:00.000-04:00

Five Finger Tees Review

I recently came across a t-shirt website called "Five Finger Tees" and anyone who knows me knows I love unique t-shirts. I'm a huge lover of movies whether it comes to horror, romance, comedy, ext. I love them all! Of course I want my love of movies to spark conversations and one of the best ways I've found to do it is by wearing t-shirts that show my love of the movies. When I seen this "Hello Clarice" t-shirt with Hello Kitty bound ... I had a little giggle. I knew I HAD to have it! This shirt has sparked so much conversation in the past week and I've been thrilled to talk to others about the movie it's inspired by which is Silence of The Lambs. Of course as a movie lover and a fan of this film I have to say that Hello Clarice was never actually what Anthony Hopkins said. He actually said during his first meeting with Clarice was "Good Morning". Yes, a mandela effect and a little movie fact for you. Of course you don't have to be a movie buff to be a lover of the shirts that Five Finger Tees carries. They carry a range of tees from categories: Movies, Funny, Cosplay, Sports, Gaming, Music, TV, Superheroes, Geek, Pop Culture, and more! The list goes on. The variety and selection is ginormous. The shirts are made of good quality. The size I ordered was spot on and fit perfect. If you're curious I ordered a size Medium. With a lot of the shirts that Five Finger Tees carries they offer a variety of colors. I chose the color black for my t-shirt, but they carried an assortment of colors. They offer t-shirts for both men and women. The pricing is fantastic! Each shirt runs around $9.99 which I think is a steal for such gems that they carry. I'm definitely going to be ordering more. This shirt has put so many smiles and caused a lot of laughs when I wear it out. You never know.. your t-shirt could cause someones bad day to be uplifted by just smiling or laughing at something as small as your t-shirt! The staff at Five Finger Tees are very polite and the shipping was pretty quick. From the time I ordered I received my t-shirt within 3 days later of ordering. They also offer FREE shipping on orders over $50. I always like deals like that because shipping on as many t-shirts you can get at Five Finger Tees could get seriously expensive because of the weight. The fact that they give you free shipping on over $50 is great I think. If you're looking for a unique t-shirt.. check out Five Finger Tees! I'm sure you'll find a t-shirt you'll fall in love with!

Here's me wearing my new t-shirt!

Want a preview of some of the t-shirts Five Finger Tees carries?

As you can see they have a large selection. Some of these are the favorites I've picked out from different categories. I'm telling ya.. you'll definitely find THE t-shirt of a lifetime at Five Finger Tees!

WORLD OF SQUISHIES REVIEW + REACTION VIDEO

2018-03-08T05:44:00.000-05:00

WORLD OF SQUISHIES REVIEW

Squishies Shown: Kiibru Marshmallow Puppy, Summer Strawberries Squishy Basket, Kiibru Jumbo Strawberry Ice Cream Squishy, Colossal Citrus Fruit Squishy, Japanese Daifuku Stretchy Squishy Charm, iBloom Peach Squishy, Cafe De N Chocolate Dipped Banana Squishy, and Squishy Fun Jumbo Strawberry Cake Squishy.

I received a large package from "World of Squishies" and I have to say I was blown away. They had super fast shipping. As explained on their website they have next day shipping so that's probably why it came so fast duh. I began opening up the package and looking inside to see squishies galore. I only opened up a few to try them out as I had NEVER squished a squishy before. I fell in love! I can truly see why everyone is so infatuated with them. I'm definitely a squishy lover now and I have a list of squishies I want next. World of Squishies are some of the kindest people I have ever spoken to. They helped me with any questions I had and plus they have some AMAZING prices on squishies. Some of the cheapest prices I've found is on World of Squishies. I've seen some websites charge obscene prices just for the dollar. I think World of Squishies just wants their customers to have fun! A lot of their squishies they carry they do their own designs on. The artistry that goes into these squishies that World of Squishies does I'm amazed by. As someone who is an artist myself I truly appreciate the time and effort they put into each squishy they make and design. The have a ginormous selection on their website. Their squishies are flying off the shelves as I type. Everyone is finding out about World of Squishies and they want in on their great prices and the friendly business they show. I'm definitely ordering from them again and I have a huge list of squishies I now want because of trying out these squishies. I have a lot of stress due to having CML (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia) and you don't know how much joy World of Squishies has given me. I smiled and giggled at these squishies while looking at them and squishing them. My whole family is now mesmerized with squishies. I've converted them to the SQUISHY NATION! Honestly though, I don't think I could recommend a better place to get squishies. Please check them out and give them a try!

Kiibru Spring Marshmallow Puppy Squishy

This Kiibru Marshmallow Squishy is really sweet smelling and come in incredibly cute packaging. This is by far one of my favorite squishies. When I first opened it I could smell such a beautiful scent. It reminded me of peaches. This squishy is so incredibly super slow rising which is surprising considering it being so a little on the flatter side on its back. It's so, so soft. It's so cute and with squeezing and smelling the beautiful scent of peaches or at least that's what I'm picking up... It's amazing!

Squishy Fun Jumbo Strawberry Cake Squishy "Rainbow Color"

I've heard so much hype around this cake squishy and I knew I wanted to try it out and when I did all I can say is "OH MY GOSH!". I understand the hype. This squishy is super slow rising and soft. I love squishing each of the whipped cream and strawberries on top. It's very realistic when you're looking at it and the packaging is so stinking cute. It looks as if you've bought a real cake. Actually, looking at it right now I'm craving a cake lol. The scent on this squishy is just a sweet scent. The only way I can describe it is as sugary candy.

MY FIRST TIME REACTING TO SQUISHIES!

iBloom Peach Squishy

I received the iBloom Peach in Pearl Yellow. It's so beautiful in it's packaging. I had a slight hesitation not to take it out of the packaging, but that went away soon. I opened the package and adored the peach in it's netting. It looked so realistic. It smells like peaches! It's super slow rising and the pearl yellow color is so beautiful. You may not see it in the picture, but the peach is a lot lighter on top with a beautiful pink on the bottom. The whole peach shimmered with beauty. It's one of the more fun squishies to squish. Like the Squishy Fun Jumbo Strawberry Cake it's dense so you can give it a good squeeze and leave pretty finger prints I know that all of us squishy lovers love.

Kiibru Super Jumbo Pink Ice Cream Cone Squishy

I was so excited to open up this Kiibru Super Jumbo Pink Ice Cream Squishy! It looks so much like a real ice cream cone. I kind of wish it was because it looks delicious. The details in these squishies have blown me away. This squishy is super slow rising and it's a little textured, but soft textured. I actually love it! It's one of my favorites to squish because there are so many ways you can squish this squishy. The scent I kind of got from this squishy was to compare like strawberry or blueberry muffins. I smelt more blueberry which is odd because you'd think strawberry, but no it smells like freshly baked blueberry muffins. It smells so good! Thinking back on the details this squishy has little tiny chunks on top that look like actual ice as if the ice cream had just been scooped and it left some ice on top. It looks so realistic.

Colossal Citrus Fruit Squishy

This squishy is probably my favorite out of the bunch. It was one of the ones I took out immediately to try out. I want to point out in the video that I said that the tears may have been a manufacturers defect, but I have to say that now I don't think it is. I probably have squished it too much and too rough and it probably tore. I love how dense this squishy is and super slow rising. You can just grab it in the palm of your hands and squish away. You can feel the stress leaving the body. I believe this is one of the reasons why squishies became a thing because of stress and because I mean look at the packaging and details some of these squishies have. Who wouldn't want a squishy? The Colossal Citrus Fruit squishy did not have a scent, but the fact that it's so fun to play with I can over look. The details on the rind is even amazing. It has the dimples of a real lime. It's very soft and I have to say if you're going to pick up one for stress relief and fun.. pick up this one, but be aware don't squish it too hard like I did.

Summer Strawberries Squishy Basket

The Summer Strawberries Squishy Basket comes with three strawberry squishies. One large sized strawberry squishy, one medium strawberry squishy, and one small strawberry squishy. You'll receive the Strawberry Squishy Charm, Jumbo Spotted Strawberry Squishy, and the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Squishy. All of these squishies are very fun to play with. The Jumbo Spotted Strawberry Squishy I would just say is slow rising. It has a nice density to it and has a light sweet scent. It's beautiful with it's spots, texture, and the leaves are just so detailed. The Jumbo Spotted Strawberry Squishy has a faint sweet candy scent. The Strawberry Squishy Charm does not have a scent, but it is just as fun to squish as the Jumbo Spotted Strawberry. It's slow rising just like the Jumbo Spotted Strawberry Squishy as well. It has a charm on it so you could put it on your purse or backpack. The next strawberry is my favorite strawberry squishy because it's the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry. It's just squishy in my opinion, but the detail of the dipped chocolate with sprinkles just blows me away. It looks so real y'all! It also has a charm on it to clip it on to where you want. I put mine on my backpack purse with the Chocolate Dipped Banana by Cafe De N. They both look so cute together and I find when I'm at my Dr.'s appointments and in line at the grocery store I'm constantly squishing these. They're so much fun to have close by when you're out like that and bored.

Cafe De N Chocolate Dipped Banana Squishy

This squishy really blew me away. Most smaller squishies are just squishy with the lack of a slow rise, but not this squishy. This squishy is definitely slow rising. It has a charm so I clipped it onto my backpack purse along with my chocolate dipped strawberry. Now, I find myself in line at the grocery stores and at my Dr.'s appointments just squishing away. I'm a big fidgeter so having these squishies has really helped me out. I mean this squishy is so detailed and beautiful. The banana imprints look just like a banana. The way it's sliced and the way the chocolate is dipped with sprinkles. It looks real. I've had several people as if they can squish it. This is one of the charms I definitely would recommend getting. It does not have a scent, but look at it... would you care? I don't. It's too much fun to squish and play with!

Japanese Daifuku Stretchy Squishy Charm

This squishy charm is so much fun to play with. It's a totally different texture and feel than a normal squishy. This is a mochi squishy if that gives you an idea. It's very stretchy and you can just squish it in your hands and it gives such an amazing feel. I love it! It's an odd looking squishy, but nevertheless it's very fun to play with. I would definitely love to try out more of these mochi squishies. Soon my backpack/purse will be over run with squishies! Haha!

Candy Colors Bunny Squishy Charm

These squishies are one of the most inexpensive squishies at least on World Of Squishies they are. This Candy Colors Bunny Squishy Charm my Mom fell in love with. She had never heard of squishies either until I told her about them. This squishy is now at home on her keychain and she squeezes it all the time. This squishy is just squishy and has a nice bounce to it. It's not slow rising by any means, but it's cute and fun to play with. You know sometimes I love the super slow rising or slow rising squishies, but sometimes I like the just "SQUISHY" squishies. This charm is so cute with the bunny with it's cute yellow eyes and it's mouth as an X. I think I'm going to order more of these in a different colors and give them to my family so they can join in on the squishy train as well.

GlassesShop.com Glasses Review

I received a pair of glasses from GlassesShop.com to review and glasses frames style I chose was the "Lena Oval" in the color: Purple. The frames are a beautiful deep purple on top with clear on the bottom. The side of the frame is the same deep purple as well along with a light purple accent color on the side. When I first ordered my glasses it took about a little less than a week and a half to get my glasses in the mailbox. I was so excited! I had just gone to the eye doctor the week previously and received a pair of glasses. Sure, my glasses I got from the eye doctor were okay, but when I received these glasses from GlassesShop.com I was really blown away! I couldn't believe the difference in the eye glasses I just paid a lot of money by my standards for compared to the glasses from GlassesShop for only $29.95. I received these of course for the review, but trust me when I say I'm buying a third pair for me to have on hand just in case something happens to this pair. I'M IN LOVE THESE GLASSES! Let's start off with how much better I can see out of these glasses. I can see so much better. The glasses I got from the eye doctor was a little fuzzy, but not to the point of where I couldn't see, but still you pay a lot for prescription glasses from the eye dr you expect them to be perfect. When I gave the prescription to GlassesShop I thought .. "I hope they aren't fuzzy like the ones from my eye doctor." but, when I received these.. no they weren't! In fact they were clearer! When I got my glasses at the eye doctor I did not receive scratch resistant glasses, but with GlassesShop I had the option to and I did and the cost isn't that much at all. I paid way more for my prescription glasses from the eye doctor for glasses with no coating, fuzzy, and they honestly weren't as high of quality as GlassesShop. I will post pictures below of my glasses from the eye doctor vs. the glasses from GlassesShop.com. In my opinion these glasses from GlassesShop are such good quality. They aren't loose like the pair from my eye Dr. The GlassesShop has many different types of PRESCRIPTION GLASSES/or PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES in many different varieties and colors. I don't know about you, but my eye doctor was limited with their glasses where I live and I didn't even get a eyeglasses case with my glasses? I mean what! Even GlassesShop.com gives you a case and a wipe to keep your glasses clean. I even like the style of the case I got which was clear and it snaps tightly so that your glasses won't open up in your purse. Of course that would never happen to me because I'm blind as a bat without my glasses. Without my glasses I cannot see anyone or anything hardly. I can only see shapes and figures. Believe me when I tell you that your eyes are important. It's important to get your eyes checked by a doctor and it's important to keep your vision in check. One thing you do not have to do is spend hundreds of dollars on glasses that are just as good at GlassesShop. I know I've mentioned them a dozen times, but I cannot believe I've found a company like this. They are super nice. They take care of any questions you have and they gave me the best pair of glasses I've had in a long while. I mean my prescription was on point!

Here is pictures of my Dr's prescription glasses on the left I bought while my new pair from GlassesShop is on the right.

One thing I can notice off the bat is my Dr's prescription glasses on the left one thing you can clearly see with flash is the glare. This glare I see in the sun very badly which makes it hard for me to see in the sun or if any light shines in my eyes and forget taking pictures..glare central. I even seen a glare from my computer while trying to type while the glasses from GlassesShop has almost zero glare to them. I can finally see without being blinded by the sun, any other light, or take pictures without major glaring.

Here is what my glasses look like on

Georgia Charms Harry Potter Bath Bomb Review + Giveaway!

2017-05-28T01:37:00.000-04:00

Georgia Charms Harry Potter Bath Bomb

Reviews + Giveaway

"Georgia Charms Harry Potter's Dumbledore Bubble Bar & Golden Snitch"

I've been looking for the most unique bath bombs when I came across Georgia Charms on Etsy I was blown away by her products she creates.

Georgia Charms believes in the natural therapy of cosmetics. She got her start because she was addicted to Lush, but like many of us couldn't afford some of the expensive prices that come along with buying bath bombs from higher priced brands. Although I love Lush myself I was looking for a cheaper alternative as well! She started her research on how to make bath bombs, bubble bars, skincare, and other items. After trial and error she did it! She's constantly tweaking and improving ways to make her products better. In my opinion I don't know how she could make them any better.

I received many bath bombs, bubble bars, and skincare that I will be breaking down into different reviews. So expect more to come and another giveaway such as this one!

Georgia Charms "Golden Snitch" Bath Bomb

First of all this bath bomb is gorgeous covered in gold mica. I couldn't wait to test out this bath bomb. It smelled so good. I dropped it into the water and boy did it fizz! As a matter of fact it fizzed for over 7 minutes at least I timed on my phone. The water turned into a beautiful golden color with shimmery gold coming from the mica spread all across the tub. I felt so much moisturization surrounding me and all over my skin was a beautiful shimmer. The mica is bath safe.. I wanted to point that out. Do you know what's awesome about Georgia Charms? She puts charms in certain themed bath bombs! Yes, I got the triangle from Harry Potter and I plan to keep all the charms to make me cute little bracelet. She also carries jewelry so that you can put your charms on a necklace or charm bracelet. The scent was airy, musky, and had a bit of a floral scent to it which it says it has gardenia oils in it so thats where maybe I smell the floral scent. All together blend beautifully. I felt so peaceful in the bath relaxing in the warm water. My skin is often very dry and to have these beautiful oils cover me and bring my skin back to life was great.

Scent: Patchouli and Gardenia

The materials in the "Golden Snitch" bath bomb to give you an idea on scent: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cream of Tartar, SLSa, Grapeseed Oil, Essential Oils, Polysorbate 80, and Natural Micas.

Georgia Charms Harry Potter's Dumbledore Bubble Bar

I absolutely cannot get over the detail in the bath bombs and the bubble bars. This bubble bar of Dumbledore is so cute! I'm telling you if you want massive bubbles this bubble bar will give it to you. I broke this piece in half and ran it under the water and my tub was covered in bubbles. I can only imagine what it would be like to put the whole bubble bar under the water. I mean look how pretty the purple is on the Dumbledore. This color purple is one of my favorites. I can also say YES the tub did turn purple. A beautiful color! This bubble bar was just as moisturizing as the bath bombs. The scent notes are: Island Fresh Kiwi, Ripe - Strawberry, Sun Kissed Peach, Anjou Pear, and Spring Flowers. I could smell the scent of Kiwi, Strawberry, Pear, and a little bit of a floral scent. It was such a treat. I used the bubble bar in the mornings that I wanted to feel more awakened. Although, you could use it anytime. I personally like musky, gardenia, airy scents for night time and the more berry and floral scents during the mornings. When you use this bar make sure you crumble it up fine when using. This will insure that you get maximum bubbles. That goes with any of Georgia Charms bubble bars.

GIVEAWAY
This giveaway is for the Georgia Charms "Golden Snitch" Bath Bomb. If you would like to enter for the Dumbledore please go to my instagram post where you will see this picture of Dumbledore and follow the rules listed there. The rules on instagram are to follow both Georgia Charms and I.

"The Ultimate Mother's Day Escape"

Pamper Mom with a Spa-Like Retreat

Complete with Melts, Teas, and Oils

This Mother's Day will be the hero and gift the woman in your life the ultimate indulgence - a long bath time soak complete with intoxicating scents, soothing melts, fragrant teas, and essential oils.

About The Village Company

The Village Company (TVC) has a long and rich heritage in personal care products. Originally known for Minnetonka, Inc., TVC markets some of the country's most endearing and enduring heritage brands including Mr. Bubble, the #1 bubble bath brand in children's bath; Sesame Street kids bad products; Village Naturals Therapy and Aromatherapy bath products; Soft & Dri Deodorant; Dep hair gels; and La Bella hair and skincare products.

The collection's exclusive Re-Vita Complex provides antioxidant-rich blends including Vitamins C and E to nourish and refresh the skin, while essential oil based fragrances enhance your mood and offer guilt-free pampering.

"Village Naturals Aromatherapy Collection Double Butter Bath Melt in Calm"

New Double Butter Bath Melts, Botanical Bath Teas, and Essential Oils Blends come in two collections: Purify, a new collection featuring Tea Tree and Sweet Orange to Detoxify, Protect, and Calm. The existing collection Calm Aromatherapy collection, infused with Lavender and Chamomile to Relax and Unwind.

The Purify and Calm Double Butter Bath Melts provide spa indulgence at it's finest. Unlike traditional bath bombs, they slowly dissolve around you while nourishing Shea and Cocoa Butter moisturize your skin leaving it soft and smooth.
Use the Purify and Calm Botanical Bath Teas to create a relaxing herbal bath or a cleansing facial steam. Each tea bag combines popular aromatherapy ingredients including essential oils, flowers, extracts, and salts.
Purify and Calm Essential Oil Blends are comprised of 100 percent pure essential oils to indulge your senses and enhance your mood. Add to your bath, a room diffuser or uncented lotion to help balance the mind, body, and spirit.

Let's talk about the products I received which are the Village Naturals Purify and Calm Double Butter Bath Melts. The first bath melt I tried was at nighttime so of course I used the Calm in the Aromatherapy collection which is infused with Lavender and Chamomile both to help you relax and unwind. I've always known Lavender and Chamomile to help you relax and helps you fall to sleep. So I poured my bath water holding the bath bomb under the water as directed letting it slowly melt into the bath water. I noticed that not only this bath bomb, but the Village Naturals Purify collection bath bomb also leave the bath water incredibly soft feeling. The oils verged together with the water and sinking into my skin. With the Calm bath melt.. that's exactly what I felt was calm and relaxed. I was so tense that night and I felt my muscles and tenseness lighten little by little until it was completely gone. I could smell both the Lavender and Chamomile so beautifully in the air.. in the steam of the hot bath. It was so comforting. The scents are just the right amount of fragrance's as well they both don't over-power your nose. You won't leave the shower with a huge headache like some scents/fragrances do. I know some are probably wondering .. did the purple bath melt turn my bath purple or did the orange bath melt turn my bath orange? No, it does not turn your bath water into those beautiful shades as they come, but it does make your water incredibly soft, smooth, and it will make you never want to leave your bath. I think that's a little better than the bells and whistles of other bath melts. The Purify Bath Melt I used during the day before one of my Dr's appointments. I had to get up super early and I decided.. "Well, I'll just use the Purify Bath Melt to wake me up." and I did. The scent rushed through the bathroom and it was that of a citrus scent. It was an awakening scent that helped gather myself awake yet still enjoy my 30 minute bath I had awoken so early for. I more or less thought this bath is going to make me sleepier, but it done quite the opposite. I was aching in the morning as I always do, but after the hot bath with the Purify Bath Melt I felt rested, my muscles felt loose, and I felt more awake. I put on my makeup and headed out the door to my appointment. I have to say I've always been a HUGE fan of the Village Naturals Company. I've purchased a lot of there muscle therapy products although those seem to be heavy on the eucalyptus I really don't mind because it does help when you've had a intense active day and your muscles and limbs all together feel like they're going to fall off. I had high hopes for these bath melts and they succeeded my expectations. I will be buying these again. I think out of the two the one I would recommend the most would be the Village Naturals Calm Aromatherapy "Calm - Lavender & Chamomile" bath melts. I really say check out Village Natural's line and see what all they have because they carry a lot! You can buy your Mom a couple of each of their products, put them in a basket, and call it a good Mother's Day! Not to mention their products aren't hard on the pocket like some other brands.

All products range in cost from $4.97 to $6.97 and can be found at select Walmart stores nationally and online at Walmart.com starting March 8th. So you're good! Get your shopping on!

Do you want to see how the bath melt looks while under the water and how it looks while it melts?

Ps. I don't understand why my bath tub is picking up as a tan-yellowish color? It must of been the flash on the camera/lighting because my bath tub is white? Not sure of went wrong there, but hey here they are!

Before I put the Village Naturals Calm bath melt under the water!

The 1st picture on the left is the picture of it under the water when I first put it under - the 2nd is of the bath melt getting smaller about 1 minute & 1/2 later.

The color of the water was left a milky color and the bath was immersed with essential oils through-out the bath water and there was a layer of essential oils on the top as well.

What Luxe by Mr. Bubble Guilt-Free Butter Bath Melts look like unwrapped!

Doesn't it look like actual chocolate?

I received Luxe by Mr. Bubble's Guilt-Free Butter Bath Melts to test out in the scents Original Mr. Bubble and Sweet & Clean. I've used Mr. Bubble since I was a kid and seeing that they had this new line out. The Luxe by Mr. Bubble line...I had to try it. In our busy lives bath time should be more of a time you can sit back and relax. We're often busy in our lives where we just hop in and out of the shower and we're out the door. Where is the relaxation in that? There is none. There is just rushing & tenseness through-out the day.We all need to take a little "me" time. I first tried out the Original Mr. Bubble scent of the bath melt and it brought back so many fond memories. Although, the scent is not as strong as the Original Mr. Bubble "Bubble" Bath it's still got a great scent that's lets you sit back and reminisce about the times that you were a child. The second scent I tried was the Mr. Bubble Sweet & Clean and it has more of a fresh scent to it. This scent is my favorite of the two although I love the original scent.. the Sweet & Clean just allowed me to completely unwind and relax in the tub. It says on the package that you can break off 4 pieces for each bath which equals up to 5 baths! Of course it also implies you can use more if you wish to add more moisturization. I just added the 4 cubes as stated and it left oil all through-out the tub as well as on the surface of the tub. It's not the type of oil that leaves a residue on your skin either afterward. It just leaves your skin nice and moisturized. I really loved this product so much I went out and bought my Mom a couple to use in the bath and she loves it. That is why I'm recommending the Luxe by Mr. Bubble line for Mother's Day! You don't just have to get the Luxe by Mr. Bubble Guilt-Free Butter Bath Melts.. they have a whole line of products you can choose from. You could get one of each and put them in a gift basket just for Mom.

Check out the pictures I took while using Luxe by Mr Bubble Guilt Free Butter Bath Melts! Ps. I don't know why my bath tub is showing up as tan.. my bath tub is white .. it must be the camera, but here is the 4 pieces I broke off and watch how it slowly melts into the water.

I found it easies while using these to break off the 4 pieces into one piece and let it run under the water so it completely melts as to breaking it off in pieces you'll likely get pieces that will float on top of the water that take a lot longer to melt.

You can see a tad bit of bubbles forming although these bath melts are not like bubble bars which create a lot of bubbles..these produce a tiny amount while dissolving in your hand. I do wish there were a lot of bubbles, but I understand that this may not be possible with the formula they've created since it's so moisturizing.

You can feel the moisturization flowing through-out the bath and as you can see in the photos you can see a light layer of oil on top of the bath tub which leaves the bath a milky color. I felt so much moisturization in the 4 pieces as directed, but I did try out adding more and it just made the bath a very white-ish color because of the oil distribution. Id say if your skin is very dry you could add the extra pieces if necessary. My skin on my chemotherapy pills can sometimes make my skin very dry which is why I tried out the extra pieces. I'll just say that it does leave your skin so glowy! I loved it!

5 Subscription Services You CAN'T Live Without!

2017-04-30T00:45:00.000-04:00

5 Subscription Services You Can't Live Without

1. Fabletics

__________________________

Price: $50 a month, but that can also vary on what outfits you choose.

Box Type: Athletic/Swimwear

How It Works:

You take a pop quiz so they can get an idea of your sense of style. You shop your cart & you checkout!

How Flexible VIP works:

When you become apart of the VIP program you will save up to 50% off regular pricing and earn points. You can skip a month if you choose if you don't see anything you like in particular that month. You can also cancel at anytime if you don't like the VIP part of the subscription.

What's great about Fabletics is you can choose some really great athletic wear, but a lot of the clothing is so comfy you won't want to take them off. You can just lounge around as well without feeling like you're suffocating like other athletic wear. They also offer a good variety of swimwear and accessories as well.

Right now they're doing a deal where you can get 2 pairs of leggings for $24 when you become a VIP. I mean can you imagine finding this great of quality at this price that's comfortable, breathable, and cute?

Some of my favorites are:

Kenzie Sports Bra

Petal Capri

CYAN

"It's casual, chic, and affordable and there's something for every body type." -Kate Hudson

I really love Fabletics. I'm not one to vigorously workout because I have cancer and that does slow me down a bit, but I do love to walk and hike often. Other workout gear I've bought from high-end to even lower end companies have never compared to Fabletics. The clothes are comfortable and I don't feel as though I'm suffocating as I've felt in the past trying other work-out gear. I've had some of my Fabletics outfits for a long time with minimal wear. It's great to receive my clothes monthly due to the fact that it also gives me the motivation to work out because I want to actually wear the clothes out. I also love the cute outfit designs and fabrics. There shipping has always been great and the only one time I had an issue - Customer service was also just as fantastic and super sweet to me.

2. Scentbird

__________________________

Price: $14.95 a month

Box Type: Perfume Subscription

Scentbird is a monthly fragrance subscription service. Each month you will receive an 8 ml purse spray of any fragrance of your choice (enough perfume to apply daily for a whole month) along with a custom perfume atomizer which arrives in your first box to protect your perfume. Scentbird has over 300 fragrances to choose from and if you opt not make a selection they will send you their monthly featured scent.

Scentbird ships on the 15th of the month. If you subscribe before the 5th of the month your package will ship on the 15th of that month. If you subscribe after the 5th your package will ship the following month. The price is only $14.95 a month.

You take a survey which looks like this below that will determine a match of fragrances you can choose from although I believe you can choose fragrance you would like for that month.

Here is what the perfume looks like open. It’s really easy to swap out your vials too. You just twist the atomizer and pull the vial out from the top. When you aren’t using it, you twist the vial the other way and you can throw it in your purse and not have to worry about it spraying or emptying in your bag like traditional perfumes.

What I love about Scentbird:

The twist atomizer is easy to use and functions well. Not messy like when you put a regular perfume in your purse. I've had my perfumes leak many times while just throwing it in my purse.
I love that I can get the same use out of it that I would a roller ball.
It lasts a long time and I can choose which scent I want each month so that I don't get bored with one fragrance.
You have the option to sign up month by month or you can do the multiple month subscription options. They offer 3-months, 6-month and 12- month subscriptions along with a gift option as well.
The price is only $14.95 a month which is a great price for the amount you receive.

I received the scent "Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture" and I absolutely loved it! I've tried a lot of the perfumes by Juicy Couture and I've loved pretty much every one of them. You can choose from id say hundreds of fragrances so chances are you'll find your scent!

3. Ipsy

__________________________

Price: $10 a month.

Box Type: Makeup Subscription

How It Works!

Upon signing up, you fill out a brief beauty quiz about what types of makeup you love and would like to receive, your features (eye color, skin type, etc.) and what brands you’d like to try out. Many brands they list are common, but there are some I’ve never heard of.

You get billed the first of each month and your glam bag is sent in the middle of the month. Unlike Stitch Fix, where it allows you the option to schedule boxes at will, Ipsy automatically schedules one every month and you must cancel on your own when you want to stop receiving bags. You get to keep everything that comes in the bag.

Each month’s bag features different products and a different theme, but subscribers mostly receive the same or similar products each month. For example, my bag might be the same as someone else, or it might have a few of the same and a few different items inside.

I really prefer Ipsy over other leading beauty boxes due to the fact I get to try out name brands as well as indie brands. I've been subscribed for years and yes the box I've felt had months I've thought "Meh", but that's very few months I've felt that way out of the 3 years I've been subscribed.

What types of items do you get from Ipsy?

4. Love With Food

_________________________

Price: Starts at $7.99 a month.

Box Type: Food Subscription

What's in a In Love With Food box?

Here is a sample of what I got:

I love the 'Love With Food' box and I was really impressed with what I got for $7.99 a month. A lot of the products I had never heard of. I shared the box with my husband and he and I both love it. It's very heartfelt that they donate a meal to a hungry child as well as some of the products the companies also donate as well for different charities and that to me is very important. Also, the fact that the food was really good and foods that I maybe wouldn't have tried is a plus as well. I like trying different foods and different things and if you are up for trying something new try 'Love With Food'.

5. BATTLBOX

_________________________

Price: Varies from $34.57 to $293.02

Box Type: Survival

The Battlbox comes with a ton of must-have items! A lot of the items are great to take on a hike with you, an outdoors trip, or to just have in the home as a just in case thing. I've already used a ton of the items from the kit. We've used the Pine Pitch Fire Starters to light fires for our bon-fire. Having those "Just In Case" items around the home are great to have in case of emergencies. You just never know with this day and age. My husband works as a mechanic and in a auto-parts junk yard so he is always around a ton of snakes so having a snake bite kit I received is great. I feel safer knowing it's around although if you do get bit by a snake it's better to go to a hospital if poisonous that's obvious, but having the kit none the less makes me feel a lot better.

Which box can you get?

Ahnu Waterproof Coburn

2017-04-28T20:28:00.000-04:00

Ahnu Coburn Style Boots

An all-day hiker for outdoor enthusiasts to explore in all weather conditions. This mid-height hiking boot is equipped with a breathable eVent waterproof bootie, wicking away moisture for optimal foot comfort. Tough, full-grain and waterproof leathers create a modern take on a classic silhouette. This rugged hiker is designed to provide athletic underfoot performance with all terrain lugs for go anywhere comfort.

Designed for:

Hiking
Backpacking
Wet and dry weather conditions

Product Details

Durable, waterproof leathers and rubber toe protector
Gusseted tongue to help keep water and debris out
Waterproof and breathable eVent® breathable bootie
Numentum® Hike technology is engineered to center and guide the foot to promote balance when traversing trails
High density EVA plugs are supported with external struts on both the medial and lateral sides of the heel
Non-marking, self-cleaning lugs for ultimate grip and traction

I received the Ahnu Waterproof "Coburn" Style Hiking boots for my husband and he absolutely LOVES them. From the moment we opened them to the time he put them on it was a perfect match for him. He works really hard and is on his feet all day long and he really needed a pair of boots that would handle all of that wear and tear. We also from time to time like to go hiking over at the local caves "Carter Caves" and we love to go this time of year so these were definitely needed. When he first put them on he couldn't believe how lighter they were compared to his old boots that were to be honest falling apart and could talk because the flaps were so badly falling off. These boots are lighter, but well constructed. He said the boots fit true to size and that the soles were very soft to walk in. He likes that it has a lot of give to them so that when he walks it feels as though he's got a comfort insole inside although he doesn't. I even tried them on to walk around in to see what he was talking about and I really loved how comfortable they were. As you can see in the pictures with the dirty pants he'd been working in his shoes all day, but they hardly got dirty and were easily wiped away when they got dirt on them. We just wiped the off for the pictures and I didn't feel as though they would stain easily or that the dirt would stay on the outsides for very long. After the dirt dried we just used a dry cloth to wipe it away and it came right off. My husband likes the high heel because it supports his ankles. His heel surprisingly didn't blister from working a lot of days either. With his old boots he would take off his shoes and he would be blistered by the end of the day. These boots have definitely become a staple for my husband and they've really helped his feet be HAPPY FEET! I would recommend these if you are looking for a great pair of hiking boots or work boots. Ahnu shoes also carry women's style shoes as well. I will be posting a review for some women's shoes soon.

BioKap Nutricolor Delicato VEGAN Hair Dye Review

2017-04-25T05:00:00.000-04:00

BioKap Nutricolor Delicato Hair Dye

This exclusive formula of BioKap Nutricolor Delicato Hair Dye, with vegetable ingredients and high skin tolerablitly, nourishes and repairs hair while dying it and covers grey hair perfectly. With TRICOREPAIR, a complex of Rice proteins, Willow derivitive and fruit lipophilic acids. Enriched with Argan Oil from organic farming, it nourishes the hair and makes it softer and shinier.

Facts about the product:

14 Shades
Contains no PPD, paraben, ammonia, or resorcin
Nickel and dermatologically tested
Has over 90% natural ingredients
GMO, cruelty, gluten and fragrance free
This product is Vegan

Shade Range 14 Beautiful Shades

When I first heard about this dye I was so excited to give it a try. Of course I couldn't try it myself because of the hair loss due to chemotherapy so I put it to the test on my Mom's hair. She's always dying her hair every 2-3 months due to having quite a lot of grey hair. She began getting grey hair at a young age so she began dying her hair. She's never really found a dye that completely covered her grays. At the end result of dying her hair always had the grays peeking through. She's tried endless brands at the drugstores and had it professionally done and yet she still seen the grays through the dye! It's so frustrating to her. When I got the chance to try out the BioKap Nutricolor Delicato Hair Dye I jumped on it. My Mom is always up for trying new dyes in hopes of a miracle that it would cover her gray hair. We picked out the color 2.9 which is a Dark Chestnut Chocolate. First of all when opening up the box can you see how much product you get in the box! Normally when buying boxed dyes you get a tiny bottle with little product. You can't tell by the picture, but the bottle and product that comes with it is a little bit larger than a normal boxed dye you buy at the drugstore. It also came with the developer, dye, gloves, a drape to prevent dye from getting on your clothes, a protective cream to put on your skin to keep the dye from bleeding onto your skin leaving stains, and an aftercare shampoo. A shampoo? Yes, a shampoo. With BioKap you shampoo your hair with the shampoo provided after dying your hair. You normally with a boxed dye say at the drugstore NEVER want to shampoo your hair afterwards because it fades the color which defeats the purpose, but with BioKap this conditioning shampoo did not fade her hair one bit. When applying the product I noticed that there wasn't a scent.. can we all give BioKap an applause for not having to deal with that awful ammonia smell? *CLAPS* So the formula to the dye was more creamy than liquid. It was very easy to spread onto the hair. My Mom has a full head of hair and it's thick. This dye went a long way. I was able to use one box on her hair, but I had to do it by applying the dye to a Wet Brush and distributing it through-out her hair after I did her roots. She could of gone with another box, but this one did alright as far as the stretch of the dye. I would say if you have thick, thick hair or longer than my Mom's you would need two boxes. My Mom always had to buy three boxes with other drugstore dyes so that's a plus with this product. You could definitely tell the dye was enriched with Argan Oil because of the length I could stretch the dye and because the dye had an oil slick cast to it when I was finished. She waited her 20 minutes for the dye to develop and I sat and watched. I looked at the colors changing and I could see some great tones. Like other dyes this dye I could see two-three different tones coming through and it looked beautiful. I've personally always been a fan of that beautiful two-three toned chestnut chocolate brown colors. I think it gives the hair life and it's more realistic. So she washed out her dye and let it dry a little bit before I started up the hair dryer to dry it to see the end result of color. As I was blowdrying her hair her hair felt SO soft. I've never in my life had a dye that left my hair that soft and prior to losing a lot of my hair I had used hair dyes and had a lot of bleach processed highlights all my life. Her hair was so silky and shiny. I didn't need to apply a oil to her hair while doing it. All I applied to her hair was a quick dry spray to cut the drying time in half because her hair is so thick it would of taken me ages to dry it. The best of all - No more grays! It covered all of her grays marvelously. With washing and drying it.. it has not faded which shocked me. I'm impressed that this dye is free of PPD, Parabens, Ammonia, and Resorcin which is found commonly in a lot of boxed dyes you see on the shelf. I love that they put organic ingredients into the dye and that it's VEGAN. There aren't a lot of VEGAN dyes out on the market that have blown me away, but this dye really works! If you are into trying out a dye that is free from the chemicals and ingredients listed above, that's vegan, and is less damaging on your hair - this dye is going to be your best friend. I've never raved so much about a dye, but I truly think this product is worth every penny. I know salons forbid you from using boxed dyes, but in this case I think this dye is so much better than going to a salon, spending hundreds of dollars, and then having your hair probably twice as damaged then this product would.

Want to see my Mom's results? (BTW, ignore her look on her face it was 3:00 in the morning and she still hadn't slept)

Without flash with the ceiling light on - it makes her hair look darker in this picture for some reason than it actually is. The pictures below is an accurate representation of what the color looks like. I gave her a little bit of a trim and she wanted bangs so I gave her bangs. She still needs her split ends cut, but I'll have to do that when I get a little bit more time. We've been busy!

Just look at the shine and those beautiful tones and hues going through-out her hair. Absolutely beautiful!

But where can I purchase it and how much is it?

Price: $14.99

Their website www.biokapusa.com

I also found out that they are currently selling it at Ricky's in NYC on 8th Ave, www.luckyvitamin.com, www.vitacost.com, www.amazon.com and www.internatural.com.

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pins Review

2017-04-09T15:33:00.000-04:00

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pins Review

Goody, the most widely recognized name in hair accessories and styling tools, satisfies the need for simple styling aids with Simple Styles Spin Pins. One of America's best-selling hair accessories, Spin Pins does the work of 20 bobby pins; creating chic, effortless professional looks in a flash.

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pins are designed for all hair types to create classic updos or casual everyday styles, ranging from the French twist to the ballerina bun, side chignon and more. The product is available in two hair shades to complement blonde and brunette colored hair.

Easily achieve chic updo styles; simply twirl your hair up and spin the Spin Pins in for a perfect top knot, undone bun and side bun!

Steps:

1. Gather your hair at the nape of your neck (no ponytail holder needed)

2. Twist your hair into a tight bun and tuck in the ends

3. Spin one pin in from the top and the other from the base, taking care not to interlock pins.

The Goody brand is the most widely-recognized manufacturer of hair accessories and styling tools in the world. Through proprietary brands such as DoubleWear™, QuikStyle™, Simple Styles™, Slide-Proof™ and Ouchless®, Goody has introduced smart innovations like the exclusive Spin Pin and Quik Style Brush. With products inspired by the latest designer trends and innovative solutions, Goody offers an inspiring range of hair accessories and styling tools.

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pins are available at Walmart and Walgreens. Price: $6.51

I got these spin pins before I got my hair chopped off so I had about shoulder length hair with layers I thought id try these out and they actually work quite well. I only have one spin pin in my hair in the picture above and it held my hair quite nicely. If you want to do a half updo which is what I do now that I have short hair it works as well. These are very cute and stylish and feels a lot better than have bundles of bobby-pins in your hair. Of course I just through mine up in the picture because I was cleaning, but still with a little bit more neatness and id be ready to walk out the door with a snazzy do! I have thin hair and it held my hair - Id say it would hold just as well with thick hair. I'm glad I received the dark color. You can barely see them in your hair which is what I love - the only reason you can see them in the photo so well is I had my husband use flash as I was in the kitchen cleaning and I told him to snap a picture. I had been wearing it for hours with little to no budge at all - some of my stray pieces of hair was sticking out, but that's the perks of layers!

Nars Velvet Lip Glide Review

2017-04-08T02:56:00.000-04:00

NARS VELVET LIP GLIDE

Introducing Nars Velvet Lip Glide: ($26.00 0.20 fl. oz.) Covetable comfort meets confident color in a high-pigment formula that glides on like a gloss, cloaks like a lipstick - and feels like nothing else. Semi-matte color glides on and stays supple without drying or feeling sticky. Developed with Oil Infusion Complex, an innovative concentration of precious oils, fused to create a smooth glide effect. Fully coats lips on contact with smooth, saturated, semi-matte style.

Named for the personal power and play of the 70's counterculture, Velvet Lip Glide shades invoke the era's new vibe with reference to legendary venues and unforgettable attitude.

(Shades Left To Right: Bound, Danceteria, Mineshaft, and Toy)

Colors From Left To Right Pictured:

"Bound"

"Danceteria"

"Mineshaft"

"Toy"

"Left To Right: Bound, Danceteria, Mindshaft, and Toy"

I've been trying out these Velvet Lip Glides and I have to say I love them. The color pay-off is great, good pigmentation, very hydrating, and comfortable to wear. Their consistency is that of a lipstick. They are NOT a liquid lipstick where it dries matte. These Lip Glides have a smooth and creamy lipstick like formula which leaves your lips looking plump without settling into the fine lines of your lips. The Velvet Lip Glides have more of a glossy sheen with a matte color. The longer they wear on the lips the gloss fades and the matte comes through even more. I would not say this is a long wearing formula, but it did not say it would be. I think a lot of us have gotten so used to the matte liquid lip's phase that we've forgotten all about our lipsticks in general. I've found my lips are extremely dried out due to using so many matte liquid lips that my lips were so thankful I tried these Velvet Lip Glides out. They were so moisturizing on my lips. I did have to re-apply like you would a normal lipstick, but the pigmentation was there. My two favorites out of the bunch are Bound and Toy. Bound being a dusty deep rose/mauve nude color while Toy is a deep wine burgundy. For me they wore around 3 hours before having to re-apply. If you're eating or drinking obviously you would have to re-apply more often. I would classify these Velvet Lip Glides as more of a highly pigmented gloss vs. a Lipstick. The scent is what I love most about this product because it has that MAC lipsticks type of scent ever so slightly. You can smell a hint of Vanilla so if you are the type of person that does not like scents I still think you should pick these up. The scent is not a strong scent and you only smell it for a brief couple of moments then it's gone. It's not a scent you'll continually smell through-out the day. You will of course smell it when re-applying.

You can purchase these products at Nars and at Sephora.

Ahnu Serena Textile USA Sandals

2017-04-03T21:04:00.000-04:00

Ahnu Serena Textile USA Sandals

Ahnu’s favorite darling, the Serena, gets a fresh new summer-inspired update. This stylish thong is crafted in the USA from imported materials and a vegan construction. The woven textile upper provides striking texture and color and adorned with a decorative button, so it can easily be dressed up or down with its effortless slip-on design. Beyond appearances, the microsuede wrapped EVA footbed provides a contoured fit, while delivering incredible comfort and support for your everyday.

Made in USA from imported materials
100% animal-free, vegan construction
Woven textile upper
Hidden gore system along the straps allows for easy entry and perfect fit
Contoured EVA midsole for lightweight support and cushioning
Non-marking carbon rubber outsole

I've been rocking the Ahnu Women's Serena Textile USA style shoes. When I first laid eyes on these shoes with their design I knew I had to have them. I love the different blues in the textile style and the star design on the soles. When they arrived I couldn't believe how light these shoes are. They practically weigh nothing. They are very light. Although it looks as though it would be velcro on the sides it doesn't have velcro you just slide your feet right in. When walking in these shoes it's almost like walking on clouds. First of all I have low arches in my feet. I definitely need a shoe with a higher arch to help with my feet aching all of the time. The Ahnu Serena's have a higher arch as you can see. You can see how red my feet were from my other shoes by the picture of me trying on these shoes, but when I walked on these shoes it was like pure heaven. The soles are very cushy. The top of the shoes have a stretch to them so when you walk they mold with your feet. It feels almost like you have nothing on your feet which I love. Sometimes when I'm in my Dr's offices or appointments I find myself slipping off my shoes. I know ew, but I do because my feet hurt so bad, but with these shoes where it feels like nothing I don't have that problem anymore. For sandals they have a good bottom grip as well. Some sandals feel as though you might slip and fall, but Ahnu really stepped up their game with a nice gripping bottoms to the shoes. I've already gotten tons of compliments on these shoes of people asking where I got them. They love the little stars as I do on the soles. If you are looking for a good light sandal I do suggest Ahnu or any of Ahnu's line of shoes. They also carry men's shoes as well. You can check out my review for the Ahnu's Men's Coburn Hiking boots I done previously on my blog!

Poetic Justice Jeans Review

Poetic Justice: The Jeans That Are On Your Side!

I received a pair of jeans from Poetic Justice and having had weight loss surgery I was in need of a new pair of jeans. I was scrolling through the internet and I came across Poetic Justice the jeans that are for curvy women. I know that I've lost near 90lbs. and I still have a bit of curve to me so I wanted a great pair of jeans to wear. I chose the Destroyed Jeans which I haven't been able to find on the website again, but a similar look to these are the Maya jeans. Poetic Justice carries jeans that are for the curvier women - jeans that are hard for you to find. They carry waist sizes 26-32 and plus sizes 16-22. They not only carry jeans, but cute tops, outerwear, and accessories! I really love their styles they have. These jeans I am in love with! They are so soft. My husband is always saying how much he loves when I wear these jeans because he says they are soft and he says they look good on me. I was always having a hard time finding jeans to fit my new shape. These fit me just right. They hug my body and they don't sag or fall off of me like my other jeans did. I love the destroyed look of the jeans. The cut-outs are perfectly placed and I like that they are washed looking as well. I swear if you are looking for a nice pair of jeans check out Poetic Justice!

Purell Product Review

2017-03-31T20:45:00.000-04:00

Purell Products Review

I found out I have Leukemia in May of last year and I was surprised by everything I have to do to maintain my health and to stay healthy in general. While I'm on my chemo I have to be very careful and keep myself and objects around me clean. I've always been a huge fan of Purell. We've always bought the large pumps like pictured above and the clip on hand sanitizers. I didn't know they came out with the wipes you can carry around and wipes to clean off surfaces. I'm so happy they did so we can sanitize all of our phones, keyboards, and all surfaces in our home. That is exactly what we've been doing too. We've been cleaning all of our stuff off each time we use it so I don't catch anything because my immune system is very weak right now I have to keep things clean. I love the clip on hand sanitizers. I gave my little cousins some, but my Mom and I use most of them. In fact we've already used almost all of them. I'm re-filling mine up with the pumps right now so that I still have hand sanitizer with me at all times. I bet I use them a hundred times a day so we go through them fast. It's good to have Purell for your children and yourself in general. Places and things are filled with germs so we want to keep those away to prevent colds!

I received the Rebelite Xtreme Bluetooth Talk n' Walk Wireless headphones for review. I have reviewed tons of headphones in the past to know when I hear good sound or not. I look for certain qualities such as what I mentioned good sound, bass quality, and the overall function and look of the headphones. The make and quality for the headphones for the price is good. They are flexible and at first they look as though they wouldn't be by the look - they look like flimsy plastic at first when I opened up the package I'm not going to like. Upon further inspection and use of the headphones they are pretty sturdy and flex well with your head. The ear muffs fit perfectly on the ears and do not hurt my ears while laying down or sitting up. The sound quality is good. When listening to the music it comes on very loud. I do not hear a whole lot of bass in the headphones, but the sound quality is clear. While listening to the headphones they do provide quite a bit of noise cancellation. I cannot hear others around me which is nice. When I first got them they come with a usb charging cable which I used right away to plug into the headphones which is pictured above while charging they blink red when done they just turn to a stable red color. The side buttons work very good at switching songs, but while turning the music up or down it puts off an unnecessary beeping noise which I think could be done without. Overall the headphones have held up nicely and I would say if you are looking for a cheaper set of wireless headphones that are of good quality these would suffice to pick up!

The Summer Infant's 3D Zyre Stroller has been so great! First let me say that it's the lightest stroller I've ever lifted. We've had strollers in the past that have killed my back. I've got a bad back and one of the things I look for in a stroller is if whether or not it's heavy. It's so light I just can't get over it. The design of the stroller is beautiful. I love the bright lime green although it does come in 3 different colors Glacier Gray, Gold Fusion, and in my color the Lime Punch. My baby loves the lime green. It has the over-sized canopy with the peek-a-boo window which is great so your baby can look out and still see even when the sun is beaming down. Your baby is well protected although I do suggest putting sunscreen on their arms and legs the upper area is still well covered. The canopy also has a zipper to where you can zip part of it up if you wish to have a smaller canopy. It has lots of storage for baby bottles, diaper bag, etc. It also comes with a snazzy cup holder for Momma so I can put my drinks in while on the go. It has big tires so that it rolls easily and it does so well. The bumps aren't as noticeable as they were in my other stroller. The straps are nice and soft and with protective padding so that it doesn't rub your baby's arms and shoulders raw which I love. When done using it's easy to fold and has a nice little strap you can carry it around with which is a nice feature. My other strollers didn't come with that option, but since it's so light it's nice to carry it around and pull it out when needed. If you are looking for a sweet stroller I do suggest the Summer Infant 3D Zyre.
