NeoCell: Collagen Masque Review

NeoCell: Collagen Moisturizing Treatment Masque Review and Giveaway

I have a confession – I am aging and there is little I can do about it. Recently I was looking in the mirror and I noticed that I had some annoying wrinkles that I could not make disappear. I would love to sit here and tell you that I welcomed these new facial friends with a welcome arms, but that was not the case at all. I am bitter and resentful with these new facial features, and would like to work on making them less noticeable.

Lucky for me science and time have begun to work together and on the forefront of this scientific path is NeoCell Laboratories. Since 1998 NeoCell has been using the power of collagen to assist in re-engaging the body’s own potential for healing and rejuvenation.

I have had the opportunity to review NeoCell Laboratories Biotin Bursts, and Beauty Bursts prior to this review. Since I see such a positive result that when I had the opportunity for another review I accepted. Since I have these lines creeping in I decided to review NeoCell Laboratories Collagen Moisturizing Treatment Masque.

Whisker Graphics Product Review

Whisker Graphics Review and Giveaway

As I have gotten older, I have found that it is far more satisfying to give a gift than receive one. The other issue that becomes apparent when you get older is that gift purchasing becomes much more difficult than it was before.

The main issue I have found is that it is hard to buy gifts for people when most people simply go out and buy what they want, instead of hoping that they might get it from a gift giving celebration. To combat this issue I lean towards the handmade end, or gift cards for gifts.

I am on a constant search to find, not only the perfect gift, but the perfect presentation. Back in January I attended the Craft and Hobby Mega Show in Anaheim I saw many options for gift presentation. One of the companies that got my attention was Whisker Graphics and they were kind enough to send me an assortment of products for review.

Skoy Eco-Cleaning Cloth Review

Skoy: Eco-Cleaning Cloth Review and Giveaway

I have a confession – I am a paper towel user. There is a convenience and an ease that comes with their use that makes them quick and disposable.

Jason recently brought to my attention this when he noticed that our grocery bill each week consisted of paper towels. My knee-jerk reaction to this news at first was defensive. I became instantly defensive of my consumption of paper goods, and immediately began to justify it. My main argument was that I had been using these disposable cloths since I was young and it was “easier” to use these instead of a more sustainable option.

As time has passed and I read more and more about environmental sustainability I realize that while I might at times disagree with Jason, this time he might be right. I began experimenting with different cloths and different textures to see if I could find something that would be as easy and versatile as paper.

Dr. Sharp Natural Oral Care Review

Dr. Sharp Natural Oral Care: Family Package Review and Giveaway

When I was a child I literally had to many teeth in my mouth. As I got older the teeth began growing out of my gums. I am lucky in that my father spoke to a pediatric dentist and began a path that would ultimately straighten my teeth. The first step was get that tooth in the gums down to where the other teeth were. This was painful and slow, but over time it came down. Once that tooth was in place then the focus shifted to all the other teeth and straightening them It was estimated I would be in braces about 4 years, and it ended up being about 4 years and a couple of months.

I remember going to the dentist that day in 1992 and finally having my braces removed. My tooth felt naked after over 4 years of having metal on the front. My orthodontist kept photos of recently “un-braced” patients, and I will never forget the pride I felt to be on that wall.

Ever since that wonderful Spring day my oral care has been a priority. When I attended the Natural Products Expo one the items I discovered was Dr. Sharp Dentistry’s line of oral care products.

Boutique Socks at ModernBoho.com Review

Boutique Socks at Modern Boho Review and Giveaway

One of my favorite foot wear items I own are a black pair of boots. These are by a well-known shoe company and they are very comfortable. I actually have a second pair in a different color and they are equally comfortable. I love to wear my boots under long skirts, or with jeans. I am also a proud child of the 80’s when leg warmers were popular, and honestly on the plain side.

The one struggle I seem to encounter quite often is that when I wear socks with my boots, my socks seem to get sucked into some strange abyss that exists only at the bottom of my boots. I also love the idea of wearing leg warmers under my skirts on chilly days – although at times these extra layers of warmth are over kill in sunny California.

I am lucky though, even though I live in a sun filled paradise I still get chilly really easy. What this means is that I can benefit year round from warm cloths. I recently was sent a couple of items from ShopModernBoho.com, including a pair of boot socks and leg warmers.

Boca Ball Review

Boca Ball Review and Giveaway

I often mention that bloggers get many unique opportunities thrown their way, and a recent delivery I received exemplifies this fact perfectly. More often than not the post office leaves keys in the smaller box for the larger delivery boxes. This particular day I did not think much of the small key for the larger box scenario, since it is a common occurrence as a blogger.

As I opened the mail box I was expecting a square or rectangle box, and what I discovered was in fact a round colorful ball.

I received a handmade ball from Boca Ball, and I can tell you it brightened my day!

Culinary Corner Review

Culinary Corner: Spatula, Silicone Mat and Ice Ball Review and Giveaway

I readily admit that I am not much of a meal chef, but I am a baker. When I was a teenager my best friends and I would always make cookies late at night. I am not sure where or when this tradition started, but it stayed throughout our high school career.

Sadly those days are about 25 years behind me, but what is not behind me is my love of baking. I love baking so much that each year during the holidays I volunteer to make the bread that will be broken at our table. I know that sounds a little over dramatic for bread, but it is important to put love and care into the foods that we share.

An important element in cooking is the utensils that are used and the care taken combining and cooking the ingredients. I love to try new products and since I am still beginning to build my collection I was thrilled when I had the opportunity to review a couple of Culinary Corner’s products.

NeoCell: Beauty Bursts Review

NeoCell: Beauty Bursts Review and Giveaway

It is funny how one moment can not only change your look, but also your life – let me explain. For some unknown reason, about 6 months ago I decided it would be a good idea to cut my hair – no problem right? Wrong, I decided to take my scissors in the bathroom and grab a clump of hair and began cutting. The big problem is that I have no training, formal or informal, for hair design. What resulted was about 9 inches eliminated and my husband asking if we needed to go to the salon in the morning to repair the damage I had caused.

There have been few times in my adult life that my hair is short enough to sit on my shoulders. This has been an adjustment because I was fond of tying my hair up in an easy knot. My hair is growing back, but not at the speed or length I prefer. I am always looking for that added supplement to give my body the bump it needs.

Back in December of 2015 I had the opportunity to review NeoCell Laboratories Biotin Bursts, and I have seen such positive results that when I was approached for another review I accepted. I got the opportunity to review NeoCell Laboratories Beauty Bursts Chewable’s in Super Fruit Punch flavor.

Crickers Crackers Review

Crickers Crackers: Cricket Flour Crackers Review & Giveaway

Regular readers will know that many times I get my review items from items I see on television (what can I say, the television is on a lot around here with me being a blogger). One night Jason and I were watching a show called Food Fortunes and saw a company that was making crackers from crickets. All of a sudden Jason began to give me random cricket facts.

I will be honest when I tell you that I know little to nothing about crickets other than their 150 decibel noise that the make, which is the males mating call for the female. I decided to do some research about crickets and I learned a couple more interesting facts. One of the things that I learned was that you can hear a cricket chirp up to 500 meters away and they can

I have noticed a trend that is leaning towards the sustainable food, and the renewable nature of certain ingredients. When we saw crackers made from cricket flour we knew we had to try them. Crickers Crackers come in 3 varieties and are surprisingly tasty.

Hallmark Jigsaw Puzzles Review

Hallmark Jigsaw Puzzles – Ripe for Picking – Review & Giveaway

About 5 years ago Jason and I would spend our evenings doing puzzles and listening to the local police scanner (haven’t done it, I highly recommend it to you – no better way to know what is happening in your neighborhood). Jason would play computer games, and I would sit at our kitchen table putting together 1000 piece plus puzzles. I would let the puzzle sit on our kitchen table until completion and gluing. What has resulted is a different and colorful art collection that I pieced together.

When I recently was given the opportunity to review a puzzle of my choice from Hallmark, it seemed obvious that with my love of bright colors and labels I would choose “Ripe for Picking Vintage Fruit Labels” which was a nice size at 1000 pieces.
