Molly's Suds

With a new baby on the way we, well I've made the decision to cloth diaper. With this decision I went on the quest to find the best cloth diaper detergent I can. So I contacted Molly's Suds http://www.mollyssuds.com/ asking for a sample to test out. This is what I received:
Two cloth diaper detergent packets and an instruction card.


One packet of all natural laundry powder.

Two discount codes to purchase other products from them.
Since new baby hasn't made her appearance yet I tested the cloth diaper detergent on some underwear that my recently potty trained two year old soiled. It cleaned efficiently with no odor or stains left behind. The laundry powder is amazing! You can mix it into a paste to use as a stain remover which is super effective, or just add a couple tablespoons into your normal laundry. I was a bit skeptical at first because when I added it to the water in the washer it didn't bubble like most powdered detergents. I added a small load of laundry just as a trial run and it was extremely effective on our clothes. The only qualm I have is when used on my hand wash only clothes (which I wash on delicate and hang to dry) they felt slightly crispy when hung out and dried. So if you hang dry I would recommend a fabric softener with the laundry powder. Overall I highly recommend this detergent for cloth diapers and all your laundry needs!

PERFECT PORTIONS KITCHEN SCALE


I received this food scale to review from Perfect PortionsPerfect Portions Digital Scale + Nutrition Facts Display, Silver This scale is a great piece of equipment and so easy to use. It has a nice glass top with a silver finish underneath.
And to the right is where it shows you the weight and if applicable the nutrition facts of your food.
This scale is super easy to zero as you just put you container on it and press the zero button. It comes with a book that contains 2,000 codes for common foods, including pizza that you enter while the food is on the scale to get the nutrition facts for the piece of food that you are weighing. You can even add custom food codes for your favorite foods that aren't in the book. 
I found it very convenient that you could weigh and track the nutrition facts for an entire meal by saving and zeroing the scale every time you add an item to the plate then totaling it, this feature makes it super easy to track your intake if you are on a strict diet. 
This is even great for baking! Being digital it is super precise to measure out ingredients based on weight.
 I recommend this scale!

Adovia Facial Moisturizer And Sulfur Soap For Acne

I was given the chance to try out a facial moisturizer and a sulfur soap bar for acne both by Adovia. I chose to review these two products together because they compliment one another so well. If you decide to try one I recommend to get the other with it.
I'll start with the sulfur soap bar.
This bar is huge! I expected a small bar of soap since it is meant for your face, but this bar is larger than the one I have in my shower. The soap is enriched with minerals and sulfur from the dead sea. The sulfur has antiseptic, anti-fungal, and antibacterial properties. I can't say enough good things about this soap. I'm pregnant and my skin has broken out like crazy, within two days of using this I noticed that my skin was visibly clearer and looked brighter. So I decided to pair the soap with the moisturizer that I had received from the same company and hadn't used yet.
This moisturizer is a very thick day cream that smells like grandmas perfume. I'm not kidding that's the only thing I know to compare it to sorry guys. It's not greasy at all and very little goes a long way! This also contains dead sea minerals as well and natural oils and aloe for hydration. This product left my skin glowing from the first use. I plan on buying both of these when I run out I love them so much. 
The best part is they are both hypo-allergenic and cruelty free! I HIGHLY recommend both these products. They can be viewed or purchased here:

Trim Fuel Protein Shake


I was chosen the try out the Trim Fuel Protein shakes. I received the flavors chocolate, vanilla, mocha latte, and apple cinnamon. I'm not a fan of straight protein shakes but I love protein powder in smoothies! I couldn't wait to try these. First I tried the chocolate 
I added 2 tablespoon scoops to the mix and blended it up the chocolate flavor was prominent in the smoothie which I enjoyed.

I'm not the only one who loved it! I tried the vanilla the same way and the two scoops was a bit over powering so for the mocha latte and apple cinnamon I only used one and it was perfect it added just enough to the smoothie without over powering the fruit in it. This powder blends really well and is pretty filling. I would recommend this shake.

Whip Lash

I'm always looking for a functional eyelash curler. Most that I have tried either pinch, don't grip well enough to curl, or they have those annoying rubber inserts in the fingers that constantly pop out. On top of everything else I can never seen to get them to fit in my small makeup bag. Whiplash is different.
There is no pinching or awkward gripping the handles are perfect and they connect together for easy storage. These are the most convenient eyelash curlers ever and it only takes my one crimp for perfectly curled lashed as opposed to 3 or 4 with others and still coming short of perfect. And this curler has a LIFETIME GUARANTEE! 
*I received this product free in exchange for an honest review and all opinions expressed are my own.

Exfolimate



I was given the opportunity to try out exfolimate. This product is meant to be used on your face and body in the shower or after soaking your skin as and exfoliator. I personally do not recommend this product. For me it was painful to use and did not show me any evidence of exfoliating. I didn't feel any better after use and my skin did not look brighter. I would not buy this product. If you think this product may be for you it can be viewed here: Exfolimate Kit Reduces Visible Signs Of Aging - Clear Skin Naturally
