PureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge

I was recently given the opportunity to test out this Bamboo Charcoal Konjac sponge. This is the second sponge of this time I've had the privilege of receiving. I love these charcoal sponges they are light exfoliators and leave my skin feeling unbelievably refreshed and soft. I like this sponge a lot. I like that it is small and compact. As you can see below it also comes with a small suction cup so you can attach it inside your shower to to your mirror when not in use. 

I love that they thought of that little detail as with the last sponge I received from a different company I really had no where to hang it to dry out of the humidity of my shower. This one is smaller than my other one so it probably won't last as long. The company recommends to replace the sponge every 2-3 months so you do get a lot of use out of it. This sponge helps to even skin texture, prevent break outs, and is 100% eco friendly. The PureSOL sponge can be found at Konjac Sponge - Activated Charcoal - Facial Sponge, 100% Natural Sponge, Eco-Friendly - Gentle Exfoliating Sponge, Deep Cleansing, Improved Skin Texture - Konjac Facial Cleansing Sponge - Natural Beauty Products -Free of Chemicals, Parabens, Sulphates, Fragrances & Coloring.

Hydracentials Sporty 25 oz Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

I was chosen to test out this sports bottle from Hydracentials. This bottle is 25 oz. and stainless steel so it keeps drinks icy for hours! It is different from any sports bottle I've ever used before as this has a straw connected to the spout so you don't have to tip the whole bottle, something I knew but didn't think of when I went to try the bottle out, so tipping it I go...

Then this tiny person decided to pick it up for a drink. This was his expression when I told him he had to tip the bottle... So to work this bottle you have to be smarter than a 2 year old, which apparently I'm not. I love the fact that you don't have to tip it to me that's more work than it's worth especially after working out! It's so easy to clean, and the straw pops out which is very convenient.

I love this bottle and I would recommend it to anyone active looking for a great water bottle for the gym.

Crave Precisio Tweezers

If most of you are like me your tweezers come from somewhere like CVS or Walgreens, and they probably cost under $5. The drugstore tweezers are great, for maybe a week and then they begin to dull. Not these tweezers! These are the Zeus of tweezers! The day I got them I noticed my eyebrows REALLY needed some work, so I gave these a whirl. To completely pluck my 3 months worth of not waxing only took minutes and was far less painful than a wax job. I could pull out clumps of hair at a time with perfect precision and almost not feel a thing. Getting out ingrown hairs is now a breeze. Also a piece of glass I had gotten in my foot from shattering my coffee pot was very easily removed these are so sharp.

They came in a nice little tube,

which held another tube,

which finally held these amazing tweezers.

The Precisio tweezers can be found at http://www.amazon.com/Tweezers-Slant-Tip-Stainless-Steel/dp/B00J6L7HAA?mc_cid=6572400535&mc_eid=c22bca98a2

Like I said above these are perfect for brow shaping. Calibrated tension makes the removal easy and won't pinch the skin, and they are perfectly angled for your brow bone. The tips are hand filed for smooth, simple, and pain free hair removal. The tips are super sharp and will never require sharpening. They are guaranteed for life.Great in a first aid kit to remove ticks or debris. They have a life time guarantee. They can be replaced with no hassle if you are not satisfied or with a full refund.

These are not drugstore tweezers, these are so much better! I will never buy a pair of CVS tweezers again after using these. I highly recommend this product.

Vita Nut Milk Bag

I've never had Almond milk or any kind so I thought that this would be an interesting product to test out.

This can be used to make almond milk, hemp milk, greek yogurt, and many other things! This has been my coffee maker the past few days since I busted mine...MMMM cold brew can you feel my enthusiasm? Any way I decided what better way to test this out than to make Almond milk? So I researched a little and concocted a recipe that I decided to give a shot. I pulled pieces of this recipe of pinterest and some from the ebook that I received with the milk bag. The recipe is as follows:

• 1 cup of almonds
• 4 cups of water
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
• pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon white sugar (optional)

The almonds need to soak for 24 hours in just enough water to cover them. When you are ready to make the milk rinse the almond and put them in the blender.

After you gather all your ingredients blend the 4 cups water and the 1 cup of almonds for about a minute.

Then add in all the other ingredients and blend for about 30 seconds. How easy, right!?

next you put your milk bag in a larger mixing bowl or something large and spouted so you can pour easily. Pour the milk through the bag into the bowl and squeeze the heck out of the bag to get all the milk out. I wish I got a picture of this, but I only have 2 hands.

Tadaaaa! Squeezed milk. Just pour in a container!

Here's the finished product it yielded a quart and will keep in the fridge for 5-7 days. And all that awesome alomond pulp you strained out with the bag?

That can make almond flour/meal by being spread on a baking sheet and popped in the oven at 170 for 4 hours. 

This bag completely served its purpose! There are no little almond bits in my milk and it is so good! The bag makes it so easy I can't wait to make more!

Keomi Skincare - Organic All Natural Handmade Soap

I love homemade soap! So I jumped on the opportunity try out Keomi's homemade soap! I was so excited I forgot to snag a picture before tearing into it!

The soap came wrapped in tissue paper,

and included a business card which when opened contained storage instructions.

I chose to break a piece off my soap to use and save the rest.

This smells so yummy! This particular one smells like lemon grass and feels so good on my skin. It does not leave behind the filmy residue that commercial soap does and works wonders on my sensitive skin. This is a great bar to use as a facial cleanser. I highly recommend this soap.

1.00mm 540 Needles Derma Roller by Petunia Skincare

I'm 100% up for trying new things, so when this product popped up on my Tomoson I had to go for it. The Petunia Skincare Derma Roller is an interesting product to say the least. It contains 540 1.0 mm needles on a roller meant to roll on your face and body to stimulate collagen production and help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It can help reduce the appearance of scars and cellulite as well as smooth skin ( this is from the collagen). This product did work for me after a few uses my skin appeared tighter and smoother, but I don't think this is for me. Its not completely painless, to me it felt like little stings and I'm not a fan of beauty is pain. I would recommend this product to someone who doesn't mind a little ouch to look good.

Oleavine Konjac Exfoliating Sponge

I was given the opportunity to test out the Oleavine Beauty Activated Charcoal Facial sponge. This is a nice sized teardrop shaped sponge that is a grey/black color.

When I applied for this promotion I wasn't really sure how a sponge like this worked. You use it by its self, no cleanser needed that activated charcoal in the sponge does the cleansing for you. The sponge is ok, as with any new facial product it made me break out within a few days. I love how soft it makes my skin feel and how it doesn't have a scent. My only complaint is even if you don't squeeze it, it never dries back into it's original shape. I'm not sure if I would purchase this sponge for myself again, although I do like how it makes my skin feel I don't really see the practicality in it or the need.

Nightfood Nutrition bars

I was given the opportunity to try Nightfood nutrition bars. These bars are supposed to be a healthy alternative before bed or late night snack. We all snack at night, most of the time we crave something sweet so this is perfect. The flavor is called cookies and dreams which of course is a play on cookies and cream. They taste like your typical protein bar which if your weird like me I absolutely love the taste of protein bars. These aren't currently sold in stores you can find them at amazon or at https://nightfood.isrefer.com/go/hp/TB/. A new flavor called midnight chocolate crunch is set to debut soon as well.

They come in a convenient box with a perforated top for easy opening.

There were 6 bars in the box butttt I got a little hungry so now there are 2.

They are currently offering a free trial box which contains the 6 bars all you pay is $4.95 for shipping and handling. There is a catch though, you sign up for the automatic shipment program, which gives a free box every month (buy 3, get the 4th free). The trial period is 14 days and you can cancel in the 14 day period to be taken off auto-ship. To take advantage of this free offer use the above link.

Mega Mesh Magnetic Screen Door

What feels like FOREVER ago hubby and I picked up two of the magnetic screen doors from petsmart. They were about $9. They were the worst investment ever... they litterally lasted two days and now just hang in ugly tatters cause I'm too lazy to take them down and Jon's deployed! So I jumped on the chance to try a different brand for free!!! This one is awesome! The magnets are actually sewn in instead of clipped on so if Tanner happens to shut it in the door I'm not searching for the missing magnet that popped off for days. It's great and I would definitely pay the price for this great product! Infact I plan on ordering another soon since we like to keep two on our french doors.

Sieva Stretch Mark and Scar Cream

I was given the chance to test out Sieva's stretch mark and scar cream and I LOVE IT! I usually don't buy into the whole 'this will cure your scars/stretch marks' but no kidding after just a week of use a burn scar on my arm has drastically faded, and since I'm currently pregnant I've used it to replace my normal cocoa butter routine to try to prevent stretch marks. I love the citrus scent as well. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

Sieva Cellulite Cream

I was given the opportunity to try Sieva cellulite cream I don't have a major cellulite issue just a bit on the backs of my thighs, it's not a perfect permanent fix but I do notice that it 'fixed' my issue a little. I don't think I'd buy this on a regular basis, to me the slight peppermint scent was slightly off putting and the results weren't worth what it would cost me to buy it.I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

Chocolate Fix Brain Fitness

I love this game!!! I was kind of iffy with it being a brain 'workout' but it's almost like playing sudoku!

The packaging is attractive.

The game pieces look like little chocolates, in fact my sister wanted to eat one when I opened it!

The answers book is separate from the challenges book which discourages peaking for me!

This is so much fun and really challenging! A boredom killer for sure!

Pure Shea Butter

This is the second type of pure raw Shea butter I have been given the opportunity to test. This one far surpasses the first in packaging and in quality.

The packaging on this brand is in a nice easy plastic container!

The first brand of Shea that I tried came in a bag almost like a Ziploc. It was in the form of a brick which is nice if you are only using it to add into other products or as a base for homemade products but this form of packaging, being in a plastic tub is a lot easier to manage if you are using the Shea butter as a lotion with no add-ins. The smell is still a little off putting but I expect that with it being unprocessed. It smells like wood. This is easily remedied with a few drops of lavender oil or other essential oil in your palm before hand. I would definitely recommend this brand!

Foxbrim Youthful Radiance Eye Cream

All these beauty creams and products promise the same thing. Better looking, better feeling, and more youthful skin. This product isn't any different and just like the others only has minimal results. Over the month that I have been using it morning and night the only difference I've noticed is that I look more awake. It's organic but that's about the only selling point for me. I haven't used an eye cream on a regular basis before this and don't plan to start now. It is a great moisturizer but in my opinion it doesn't have the wrinkle healing properties the company claims it does.

Natizo Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons

I was chosen to try out the Natizo stainless steel measuring spoons! After experiencing these spoons I'm positive I will NEVER go back to plastic. With these I never have to worry about the measurements rubbing off or my spoon snapping since I'm lazy and throw them in the dishwasher. These are dishwasher safe!

They come in this nifty little box

There's four on a ring

The only downside to me is that there is only four. There is a tablespoon, a teaspoon, a half teaspoon, and a fourth teaspoon. I would have also liked to see a half tablespoon and an eighth teaspoon as those are also common measurements in my kitchen. 

These wash great and hold up very well to my toddler! Want your own set? enter my giveaway below!

Propresser Garlic Press

I was given the chance to try the Propresser Garlic Press. This product looked a bit intimidating when I pulled it out of the box.

It looks like a funky nut cracker. I've never had a garlic press so I couldn't wait to try it out. I'm a perfectionist, when I mince garlic it takes about 5 minutes or more. It must be perfect, this had the garlic minced smaller than I ever could in about 10 seconds. You don't even need to peel the garlic.

my peeled and unpeeled clove

unpeeled

peeled

all that's left of the unpeeled clove :)

It did a perfect job! It's beyond simple just to pop the clove of garlic in place and crush it. I'm the world's weakest person and I have the muscle to crush it. The press is a bit hard to clean, it took a lot of soap and scrubbing to get all the garlic remains off. I'm not sure if it can go in the dishwasher, I didn't pay attention on the box, but I'd rather not. I recommend this product, and I don't think I'll ever hand mince garlic again!
