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 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.

Review of Skin2Spirit Cucumber & Green Tea Magnesium Oil Sea Spray Deodorant

I like the fresh scent of this cucumber spray and I especially love that this deodorant works all day. I stopped using traditional antiperspirants in the summer of 2015. Traditional antiperspirants contain aluminum which blocks pores to prevent sweat from escaping, but can increase the risk of breast cancer and Alzheimer's. This is just one of many chemicals that are potential carcinogens. Once I learned this, I searched the internet for natural alternatives and stumbled upon DIY recipes. i have tried my own DIY baking soda/essential oil combination with horrible, irritated, stinging results. When my underarms perspire, the baking soda re-stings. The baking soda also caused lumps under my arms. I have also tried a peppermint/witch hazel combination which works initially, but my underarms still perspire profusely and then I stink.

None of the ingredients in this spray are designed to block the action of sweat. Sweating is a natural, normal function and rids the body of toxins. What the ingredients do is kill the bacteria which cause the odor. I found it to be very effective while I cleaned a home for literally seven hours (I have a residential cleaning service). I had no problems with odor in the least!

I feel a lot more confident that I am using mostly natural ingredients with this product, which are anti-microbial, anti-fungal and antibacterial. The two ingredients I had to research were the silver citrate and potassium sorbate. Silver citrate is used as a "natural" preservative used a lot in cosmetics and are particularly useful in products with a lot of water, as it kills bacteria. One online article, blog.honest.com/what-is-silver-dihydrogen-citrate/#one, reports that in a scientific review by Scientific Committee on Consumer Products," they deemed Silver Citrate to be non-toxic by oral exposure, non-toxic by dermal exposure, non-irritating, and that it’s not a skin sensitizer." In an article written by md-health.com/Potassium-Sorbate.html, Potassium Sorbate is used in many food products and in winemaking and are deemed safe; however, large amounts of this ingredient will cause diarrhea and/or nausea.

I believe this to be a good value because the pump sprayer can be controlled better than an aerosol. I believe I will get a lot of usage out of this spray deodorant.

I received a promotional rate for this Skin2Spirit Cucumber & Green Tea Magnesium Oil Sea Spray Deodorant for testing and review. I highly recommend this product for anyone concerned about their health and well-being.

Review of Phytopia Stretch Mark Remover Essential Oil Blend for Massage (100% Pure & Natural Therapeutic Grade)

In the eleven days I have tested this product, I am holding out hope. It appears that my old stretch mark scars are less sharp and changing to a color closer to my skin tone. It's still a bit early to tout any super astonishing results, but I have faith that, with continued use, I may see even more progress. In comparison to other products I've used, however, this oil is many times better.

The oil arrived attractively packaged like a higher end beauty product, in a nice velvet bag. The brown glass container helps protect the essential oil against breaking down. It is a very pleasant smelling silky oil that leaves my skin feeling nourished and moisturized, without a greasy feeling. For a product that is being absorbed into my skin on a daily basis, I was thrilled to read that it is 100% organic, made with therapeutic essential oils. The bottle has a dropper insert and drips out slowly to prevent waste.

I have started using the oil on my neck to decrease the aged appearance and, hopefully, fade the crease. I will update this review if there are any positive results; if not, I won't bother, as the main purpose is to improve the appearance of stretch marks.

I received this Phytopia Stretch Mark Remover Essential Oil Blend for Massage (100% Pure & Natural Therapeutic Grade) at a promotional rate for testing and my unbiased opinion. I was not paid to review this product. I highly recommend this oil to massage in during pregnancy to prevent stretch marks, or to massage into the skin to reduce the appearance of existing stretch marks.
