Review of Spritz'n Wipe Simply Pure Toilet Paper Moistener

This product has become a necessity in my bathroom! Although I have used pre-moistened wipes, most of the time I wet toilet tissue under the faucet before using the toilet. My toilet is a distance from the sink, so this system is far more convenient and handy, especially when I forget to pre-plan. 

The Spritz'n Wipe system comes with 4 batteries -  just install them, snap the bottle of cleansing liquid in and click the button in the back into the 'on' position.  It works just like an automatic soap dispenser, with a sensor towards the top, close to the spout. Place a few sheets of tissue under the spout and the liquid squirts out. It's that easy and boy, is it refreshing when you just need a quick, clean, refreshed feeling!

Compared to wipes that are contained in liquid that is full of chemicals, the cleanser in this system has natural ingredients, water, glycerin, aloe leaf and colloidal silver. Colloidal silver is used in homeopathic treatments and I believe it's used in this cleanser to disinfect the water. 
 

I received this product in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I highly recommend the Spritz'n Wipe Simply Pure Toilet Paper Moistener for you and your family over pre-moistened wipes as a way to clean and freshen throughout the day.

Review of Magnesium Natural Deodorant - ROLL ON - Anxiety, Migraines, Restless Legs, Sleep Issues - FRESH COCONUT & LIME from Skin2Spirit

I love the mild coconut/lime scent of this natural deodorant. I also love that it is a roll-on. The greatest thing about it, though, is that this deodorant actually works.

I have been off of antiperspirants for about 8 months now. I did not know that my body had to detox. I hadn't done enough research - all I knew is that I had heard how harmful antiperspirants were and I had to stop using them. At first, I tried my own mixtures using coconut oil and baking soda - my underarms do not like baking soda, especially after sweating! I broke out in lumps and a painful rash. I couldn't use anything for about 3 days until my underarms healed. Then I tried coconut oil or shea butter mixed with peppermint essential oil. First of all, an oily product is not a good idea because there is no such thing as allowing it to "dry" and it could ruin your tops. It was also messy and inconvenient to use. By the way, I still sweat. With sweat, came the odor! I still didn't know, at the time, about the body going through a detoxifying process.

Now I know it's normal to have to wash and reapply the natural deodorant once or twice during the day, depending on the activity level. After a while, I stopped sweating so much. Without something applied to my underarms, though, I sweat a lot and then I stink.

This deodorant has a nice, fresh scent and the ingredients have skin-healing properties as well as odor-fighting benefits. The magnesium oil has many health benefits that help with my sleep. Many of us are magnesium-deficient, so the magnesium might sting for a couple of days. I just felt a very light tingle the first two days. Since my body has already been through detoxing months ago, I didn't have any issues with sweating or odor. I'm very pleased at how well it worked on my active days, performing 5 hour cleanings for my cleaning service. The roll-on feature makes it easier to apply and definitely allows more accurate application. It dries pretty quickly, so I don't have to wait long to get dressed after I shower.

I received this Magnesium Natural Deodorant - ROLL ON - Anxiety, Migraines, Restless Legs, Sleep Issues - FRESH COCONUT & LIME from Skin2Spirit for first-hand testing and my honest opinion. In no way did I receive any compensation or incentive for a positive review. I highly recommend this natural deodorant for women and men. It's especially good for children in place of chemical deodorants and antiperspirants.

Review of Mask Premium Bathroom Toilet Poop Spray

I have found this poop spray really does work as claimed. It does not mask or mix with the inevitable odor after defecating, but eliminates it. I love the scent; the Teak and Tobacco is very pleasant and woodsy.

I have a citrus-y room spray that I used to carry in my purse for those untimely bathroom 'events' at work. We all have to go but I don't want anyone to know when I have to go or to be offended by stinky odors. The spray left a mandarin orange type scent that worked fairly well to mask; however, the 4 Oz glass bottle was inconvenient to carry and therefore indiscreet. When in a public washroom, I always felt there may have been lingering odors, not covered by the spray. Also, after spraying the air, some of it would end up on me and I felt that I walked around advertising that I just went to the bathroom. When in a public washroom, I always felt there may have been lingering odors, not covered by the spray.

In contrast, this bottle is a lightweight 2 Oz plastic bottle which is very discreet. Spray a couple of squirts in the toilet before using it. The spray scent is very unassuming and not an obvious cover-up. Additionally, I don't have to walk around smelling like the spray.

I tend to flush as I go, but the initial squirts do travel into the air and remains effective. I haven't tested the spray in case of diarrhea (lol)!

My only issue is the lack of an ingredient list. Are the scents used pure essential oils? Are there other ingredients?

I received a promotional rate for first hand testing and my unbiased opinion. I highly recommend this Mask Premium Bathroom Toilet Poop Spray for everyone.

Review of ArtToFrames 20x16 Photo to Canvas

I am astonished at the clarity of colors and the detail in this photo to canvas conversion! I didn't have to change the size of the photo or make any other changes the way some sites require. I simply uploaded a jpg file and ArttoFrames did the rest.  The canvas was created and delivered so timely as well.

Take a couple of your favorite photos and convert them for your own use.  I plan to get more and have a wall grouping.

I received a promotional rate for this Art to frames 20x16 Photo to Canvas for my honest, unbiased opinion.  I highly recommend ArtToFrames; they did a fabulous job converting my 8x10 photo into a 20x16 canvas. It will make a great gift - I think I already know what I'm getting a few family members for Christmas!

Review of WindowPix 18 x 12" Decorative Static Cling Window Film Solar Stained Glass Geometric Pattern

The stained glass look is very nice. I don't like my view of the outdoors to be so obstructed, though. The panel really filters out the light and it is difficult to see through. I got it to stick initially via static cling, but the film wanted to roll back up. I would recommend flattening it out to make installation a little easier (under a couch or heavy chair cushion, for instance).

I received a promotional rate of this WindowPix 18 x 12" Decorative Static Cling Window Film in exchange for testing and my honest review. I'm disappointed that my testing size is so small. I was unable to use the panel to truly test it. I was not going to bother installing an improperly sized panel, just to have to turn around and remove it.

I will have to find another craft-y way to use this film.

I recommend this panel to anyone who wants privacy or wants to filter light - just make sure you get a large enough size to cover your windows.

Review of Cariloha Bath Sheet (Hawaiian Sand)

I am so in love with this bath sheet! It feels very thick, soft and luxurious and is very size-able as well. This towel has the feel of a higher end, designer towel. This is my first time using a bamboo towel and I must say that I'm very impressed. I laundered it before using it the first time and it came out of the dryer just as soft and fluffy as before. I don't use fabric softener either, by the way. I have dried thick towels before but, in comparison, these towels did not take very long to dry at all, just the standard drying time.

The Bath Sheet is large enough to double as a beach towel, but I don't think I would want to waste the luxuriousness on the sand. I have seen bath sheets that cost a lot more and this one is a very good value for the quality.

I received a promotional rate for this Cariloha Bath Sheet (Hawaiian Sand) to try out and give my unbiased opinion. I received no compensation from nor do I have any interest in this company. I highly recommend this absorbent, soft towel for all adults, male and female alike.

Review of FAVI FE01-GR Mini 2.4GHz Wireless Keyboard TouchPad with Laser Pointer

I love to be able to kick back and use this little keyboard with my laptop. The laptop gets uncomfortable and hot in my lap and this gadget is simply invaluable!

It is lightweight and easy to use. I charged it via my laptop, with the included charging cord. I plugged in the tiny USB adapter, which was plugged into the unit itself and - voila!, I was able to use this mini keyboard on place of the laptop keyboard.

I was unsuccessful pairing it with my Kodi box, but will keep experimenting. If I get it to work, I will update this review.

I received a promotional rate for this FAVI FE01-GR Mini 2.4GHz Wireless Keyboard TouchPad with Laser Pointer for testing and review. I highly recommend it and feel that it's a great value.

Review of Premium Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser (Hand Sanitizer) by EVA Homeware

I think this touchless soap dispenser is so attractive and functional! I have used the clunky soap dispensers that I purchased from WalMart, but this one looks so much more sleek and fits into any decor. Let's face it - the reason we wash our hands is usually because we need to. I cringe to think what bacteria is left on the soap pump after regular use by my family. The automatic soap dispenser eliminates the need to touch it because it senses the motion of your hand and disperses a dallop of soap liquid right into my hand.

When you clean or have a lot of activity around the dispenser, it's best to turn it off for a while. It will dispense each time you pick it up, move it, or your hand comes close to it. It will also dispense quite often if it's located too close to the sink faucet.

I supplied 4 triple A batteries, which I installed at the bottom of the unit and the liquid soap. The bottom base is raised so the batteries won't get wet around standing puddles of water. I poured my soap right into the top of the unit and could see when the liquid reached the top through the small window located near the top of the dispenser. There are three settings to adjust control of the amount of liquid dispersed. I really like this feature because the ones that I've used only have one setting and usually dispense too much soap. It works great and fits well in my kitchen as well as my bath.

I received a promotional rate for this Premium Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser (Hand Sanitizer) by EVA Homeware for testing and my honest review. I have received no compensation for this review and these opinions are entirely my own. I highly recommend this product for everyone.

Review of Spirit Naturals Dark Circle Under Eye Treatment Organic Eye Cream With Rosehip And Borage Seed Oil

I like the feeling and hydration of this serum around my eyes. Eye serums are often so expensive and full of difficult-to-pronounce ingredients. For that reason, I don't buy them; but I know I should use something safe to keep that sensitive area nourished. In comparison, this serum is a fantastic value for natural plants and oils, such as Organic Aloe Juice, Organic Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, Organic Shea Butter, Lavender Essential Oil, Organic Rooibos Tea, Organic Olive Oil, Carrot Oil, MSM, Evening Primrose, Rosehip Seed Oil, Rose Oil, and plant gums, just to name some. The serum feels smooth and silky, not greasy at all. It has a pleasant, very faint scent of rose. I dab it under and on the outer corners of my eyes. Initially, it looks oily, but it "disappears" as it absorbs into my skin.

I don't see any difference yet but I believe the essential oils and MSM will keep my tissues nourished. I'm using it mainly as a preventative as I don't currently have deep bags or wrinkles.

I will update this review if I do notice any difference, i.e., if this serum makes my eyes look younger (ha! ha!).

I received a promotional rate for this Spirit Naturals Dark Circle Under Eye Treatment Organic Eye Cream With Rosehip And Borage Seed Oil for testing and my honest opinion. I recommend this oil to those who care about the health and appearance of their eyes.

Review of Skin2spirit Best MAGNESIUM OIL for Anxiety and Sleep Issues

I never knew I was magnesium deficient until I had my first good night's sleep that I've had in a long time...and that was after one application!  I usually wake up throughout the night with the night sweats.  Lack of sleep makes me cranky the next day. I thought maybe it was just a coincidence, so I didn't use it again for 3 days.  I experienced my usual restless nights and as soon as I resumed with the oil, my sleep was much more restful. I applied the magnesium on the back of my neck and rubbed the rest into my hands. In addition to better sleep, the strain in my neck was reduced. It will probably take regular use to eliminate the chronic neck pain and strain, but the oil does work quickly on muscle and joint inflammation which I occasionally experience in my knees and shoulders.

My co-worker asked if magnesium oil would work for a chronic ache she has experienced for a couple of years since her 2 year old child was born. Her doctor ruled out carpal tunnel syndrome but really couldn't diagnose her problem, so he therefore couldn't suggest a treatment. In the meantime, she's just been in pain.  I've been dabbling here and there with essential oils so I researched and found out that I could add peppermint essential oil to the magnesium oil. My friend used the mixture and 5 minutes later the pain was gone. (My friend happens to be very honest and will speak her mind.) Well, I was very astonished, especially since her pain was chronic and she experienced it daily.

I received a promotional rate for Skin2spirit Best MAGNESIUM OIL for Anxiety and Sleep Issues for testing and my honest review. I am completely won over and I highly recommend it for all.

I find this set of five resistance bands to be a nice challenge to help strengthen and to tone my arms and legs. The bands offer light to heavy resistance. I work my biceps and triceps with the light bands and the medium to heavy bands for my outer thighs. I can spot train and concentrate on certain areas of my body. Right now, I'm focusing on my arms so I can get ready for golf season. I can receive benefits from additional resistance by increasing the distance I can stretch the bands. Of course, there is a limit to the amount of stretch, but if it becomes too easy to stretch, then I will move up to the medium or heavy,

These bands can be used by anyone - from males and females, from young to old. What I think is great about this form of exercise is that even the elderly can use them, even while they are still seated. I have seen less expensive bands used in rehabilitation centers for patients who need to re-build strength after a health issue or accident. These Live Infinitely bands are much stronger and sturdier than those in comparison.

This set arrived in a nice pouch, which I use to store them away when not in use.

I received a promotional rate for these Loop Resistance Bands by Live Infinitely Large 14" x 3" Design Set of 5 (3-35 LBS) Perfect for Yoga, Crossfit and Full Body Workouts for testing and my honest review. These bands are a wonderful value and I highly recommend these bands for all, young and old alike.

Review of InstaNatural Thermal Protector Hair Spray

I think this spray is very effective at protecting my hair when styling it when I blow dry it or use a flat iron. Which method I want to use depends on how I want to style it. If I don't have a lot of time, I spray a little all over and then use a styling brush when I blow dry my hair. If I want a little more control, I use a little on the ends of my dry hair for protection while I use the flat iron. It helps "set" my hair a little quicker and easier. I usually use a styling helper, but some of them either make my hair sticky, heavy or hard. I used this product sparingly, the first time, until I could get a feel how this product felt on my hair. The amount was actually just right - there was no sticky, heavy feeling. My hair set easily and it combed out soft and looked very natural.

I like the handle on the spray, Ergonomically, it's a lot easier to handle a spray handle, rather than a pump spray. The sprayer must be unlocked before use and can subsequently be locked afterwards.

The ingredients are ones that I have used alone, such as Organic Argan Oil and Castor Oil to help add shine and also other healthy ingredients, Vitamin B5 and Sunflower Seed Oil, that help maintain the health of my hair. I am no longer using chemical perms or color and I try to use shampoos and conditioners that are made from natural ingredients. I have finally found a great finishing spray made from natural ingredients that I am very satisfied with.

I received a promotional rate for InstaNatural Thermal Protector Hair Spray for testing and review. I highly recommend this product to protect your hair from the ravages of heating implements. It also smooths the hair and adds a healthy sheen.

Review of InstaNatural Niacinamide 5% Face Serum - Vitamin B3 Anti Aging Moisturizer for Skin

My skin loves this 5% Vitamin B3 serum! I applied it after cleansing at night and I noticed the difference in look of my skin the next morning. It had a healthy glow and tone to it and felt smoother.

The serum is smooth and feels like silk when applied. It is non-greasy, but feels slightly tacky after application. The tackiness disappears in a little bit and leaves a soft, moisturized feel to my face.

I am a 60 year old, so I can benefit from this serum to fight the effects of aging. I also have suffered for years with hyper-pigmentation and pock marks from adult acne. After just one night, I noticed the appearance of a more even skin tone, although I know it's going to take a while for me to actually achieve that.

A couple of days later, I tried some serum on the creases on my neck. The serum plumped up my skin along the creases, improving the appearance of my aging neck.

This Niacinamide has now become a regular part of my skin regimen. It is by far the best product I have used for my face and neck! I have tried other products, to correct aging skin, that have eventually led to breakouts here and there. Not so with this serum. It contains Organic Aloe Vera, Avocado Oil, Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid that are all so nourishing and moisturizing.

I received a promotional rate for InstaNatural Niacinamide 5% Face Serum - Vitamin B3 Anti Aging Moisturizer for Skin for testing and my honest opinion about it. I highly recommend this for males and females to regain elasticity and a healthy appearance to their skin.

Review of Big Deals and Steals' Justified Laboratories Anti Gray Hair Assist

I don't think a couple of weeks is quite enough time to evaluate this product for assisting in slowing down the gray. That being said, the capsules are chock full of vitamins and minerals that help nourish my body.

I've learned to embrace my gray, but the white eyelashes have to go! I'm happy with my hair at the present time but I would just like for the grays to slow down a bit.

The vitamins and minerals help to nourish my hair as well as replace the minerals that diminish as we age, thus slowing down the gray. I will not consider it a complete failure, however, if my grays don't diminish, because my hair will still benefit from the supplements.

I received a promotional rate for Big Deals and Steals' Justified Laboratories Anti Gray Hair Assist for testing and my honest opinion. Hopefully, I will have an update in a couple of months if it actually works as stated!

Review of #G-Sharp Guitar & Bass Capo

This Guitar Capo produces a nice crisp sound to the higher pitch it provides.  It is a sturdy device with a strong clip with handles long enough to allow easy installation and removal.  I am able to easily handle the capo with one hand, although it does provide a strong hold across the strings on the guitar.

I just started acoustic guitar lessons about 6 weeks ago and I'm gathering all of the accessories I think I'm going to need now and in the future.  I really like the sound that comes from this device and I'm sure I will find a need for it soon.  My instructor played a couple of songs using his capo so I could hear the difference in the pitch throughout the songs.  I showed him my capo and he was impressed by the quality.

I received a promotional rate for the #G-Sharp Guitar & Bass Capo for testing and review.  I highly recommend this capo to guitar players for its quality and function.

Review of Live Infinitely 18" Deep Tissue Massage Muscle Stick Roller

This muscle roller relieved the tight, painful knots I developed in my neck after a tough, stressful day. I started out by rolling the general area, over the knots. After doing that a few times to get the blood circulating, I started concentrating on the specific knots. The knots were literally bumpy and, although it was painful at first, the massager started working out the knots and relieving the pain. Sometimes the roller will pinch the short hairs on my neck, however, and that's the only issue I have.

I also use the massager over my forearms and close to my elbow, as I often experience "golfer's elbow." The handles on each end are ergonomically shaped to grip them easily and gives me the ability to give the massager enough pressure to do an effective job.

My husband massages my back - I have stiffness along my spine and this muscle stick roller glides over my back very well. The width of this stick is perfect.

I received a promotional rate for this Live Infinitely 18" Deep Tissue Massage Muscle Stick Roller for testing and review. I very highly recommend this massager for anyone who has experienced muscle stiffness and pain.
