#NativeSpring #SpiralFood Slicer

I purchased the spiral vegetable slicer and was thrilled. It is so easy to use. It is like a pencil sharpener whereas you insert the vegetable in the side and turn. There are two ends with two different size blades. I used a zucchini and the larger side. As I twisted, I got beautiful spirals of zucchini. The seeds were caught on the inside and I got very little waste. A quick sautee in the pan and seasoning led to a delicious, healthy, and side dish. It comes with a little brush to clean the inside and some suggestions for use. This is a handy tool to have around the kitchen and I highly recommend it.

#Radha Vitamin C #BeautySerum

I received Radha Beauty Serum free for an unbiased review. 


Radha beauty serum came in pump form which made it very easy to dispense.  It comes out as a clear liquid.  After washing and drying my face, I put a thin layer on my face and neck.  It absorbs quickly and does not have a greasy feeling.  I am able to use it under my moisturizer in the evening or my makeup in the morning.  It does not feel tight or like I have a second skin as some serums tend to do.  After using it a few weeks, I did notice some subtle differences.  The fine lines around my eyes and mouth lessened.  The skin on my neck seemed to sag a little less.  It lightened up my skin and made it actually look brighter and revitalized- refreshing.  This is definitely a high quality product that I would recommend.

I received two bottles of essential oils free and for an unbiased review.


First, I will start with the lavender. This scent is extremely calming and clears the mind.  I have used it in my oil diffuser as well as right on a light bulb.  When I get headaches, I put some on a cool rag and place it on my forehead.  I have always felt that the scent of lavender had calming qualities.  I like to have it in the bedroom, as well as the bathroom.  After a long day, a warm shower with this scent diffusing can calm the nerves. 


The peppermint scent is my favorite.  The scent is exactly what it says it is on the bottle, revitalizing.  I opened the bottle and closed it and I can smell the lovely scent all the time.  It is almost a sweet smell and not a smell like medicine- peppermint candy smelling.  With cold and allergy season upon us, I have found that it helps clear the nose and sinuses.  Just a few drops on a diffuser does wonders. As I sit hear typing, I am taking in the lovely scent and the top is on.  I may leave it my by computer all the time!


The nice part about these two bottles of scent is that they are nice and large, and a little goes a long way.  The other nice thing is that they have their own droppers already built in.  This alleviates the mess of having to pour the oil out of the bottle or having to replace the cap with a dropper. 


I am extremely pleased with this company and the wonderful oils they have provided.

#Go Pure #Coconut Oil





<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPf23e3055202e29c9c6028260d25dc67c" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>




I received the Go Pure 100% Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil free for an unbiased review.  It came in a large 16 oz bottle with a flip top like sunscreen would come.  The bottle was very plain with a brown label, but the nice part was that you are able to see the clear oil. It does not have a scent which kind of bummed me out a little because I love when body lotions and oils have a scent.  My skin is very dry, especially this time of year.  It gets cracked to the point where it hurts.  After using this oil, specifically on my hands, feet and elbows, I found my skin becoming smoother and less dry.  I used it in the pure form, but am going to try to mix some essential oils into it for a scent.  The nice part of this oil is that it did not clog my pores, cause breakouts.  However, I felt that it did leave a little greasy feel to it, and my skin appeared a little shiny after application.  It absorbs quickly into the skin and there is a noticeable difference after use.  I would recommend trying this product, as the benefits may appeal and trump the slight greasy feeling.  It is affordable and can be used in many different ways.  If you are unfamiliar with coconut oil, I would recommend giving this one a try.

#Body Merry #Age Defense #Neck Cream

When I received the Body Merry Age Defense Neck Cream it came packaged nicely in a box and not just plastic.  It has a bright red label and is appealing to the eye as being very bright.  I have been noticing, in the past few weeks, especially when I am blow drying my hair, that my neck is getting a little saggy and developing wrinkles.  How can this be? was the first question I asked myself.  So, when given the opportunity to test a neck cream, I gladly accepted.  The cream is in pump form which makes it easy to dispense.  A little goes a long way, so I used one pump to start.  It has the faint smell of cocoa butter, not entirely unpleasant.  The scent does not overpower and I was able to still use my own perfume and the scents did not clash.  After a couple weeks, I noticed less "sagging" and a new firmness to the skin on my neck.  I do not consciously look for wrinkles, but noticing them made me think I had to do something about them.  This cream seems to be doing the trick, and I will happily continue using it.  I received this product free for an unbiased review.

#KissMeOrganics #OrganicRootDandelionTea

I received this product for free through BuView in exchange for my 100% honest review and rating.


The teabags came in an attractive looking box which had wording that was easy to read, unlike some products where the letters are too small.  I used my Keurig to brew the water for the tea.  However, I did out the cup in the microwave as the water needed to be hotter for the tea bag to truly infuse.  I then made a second cup, the old fashion way, with a tea kettle.  This is the way I recommend it being made.  The tea had a pretty rose color and I had it in a glass mug which made it even mire attractive.  Drinking it plain, it had a slight cinnamon flavor.  It was a tad bitter and I love sweet flavors, so I had a little sweetener and it tasted better.  That is my preference, however, as other people may like it all natural.  The tea is all natural and only contains organic dandelion root, organic hibiscus and organic cinnamon.  Health benefits include includes digestive health, blood pressure maintenance and the controlling of blood sugar.  Those that are tea drinkers will enjoy the taste of this tea as well as enjoy the benefits.

I received the Pure Body Fractionated Coconut Oil free and for review.  It came in a large 16 oz bottle which is very eye appealing with a pink label and pictures of coconuts.  It is clear and not greasy.  It does not have a scent which kind of bummed me out a little because I love when body lotions and oils have a scent.  My skin is very dry, especially this time of year.  It gets cracked to the point where it hurts.  After using this oil, specifically on my hands, feet and elbows, I found my skin becoming smoother and less dry.  I used it in the pure form, but am going to try to mix some essential oils into it for a scent.  The nice part of this oil is that it did not clog my pores, cause breakouts or leave a greasy residue.  It absorbs quickly into the skin and there is a noticeable difference after use.  I would highly recommend trying this product.  It is affordable and can be used in many different ways.

#Adeline Anit-Aging Moisturizer


<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPc5d739cff773e4cb4b5558d9b34ef856" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>


I received the Adeline Anti-Aging Moisturizer free and for review.  The product comes in a very eye appealing container- a pump format.  The pump allows you to distribute just the correct amount and a little goes a very long way.  The moisturizer is very creamy and has a lovely scent of mint.  It spreads nicely onto the skin and is absorbed in a way in which there is no greasy or tight feeling after application.  I applied it twice daily- once in the morning and once in the evening after washing my face.  It is keeping my skin moist in the winter season when I am prone to extremely dry skin.  It is very light and does not cause any type of reaction such as itchiness or redness.  I would highly recommend this moisturizer and will be purchasing it again.

#Drip Drop

 I received Drip Drop in Berry and Lemon flavor free and for review. I was not sure how it would taste and if I could get my children to drink it. First we tried the Berry version. It was very visually appealing. When mixed it came out as a pretty light pink color and my daughter said that it looked sparkly. We did not add ice, but rather drank it using water from the refrigerator filtration system so it was a little cooler than room temperature. It had a lovely berry flavor that was not too sweet and not too tart. I felt good giving my children a hydration product that is not bad for them like some of the more popular sports drinks. Later, we tried the lemon flavor. When mixed into the water it had a very slight tinge of yellow. It looked more cloudy than lemonade color. Upon tasting it, it had a very sweet flavor. I actually prefer sweet over tart, but if you like things a little more tart, you may be disappointed. Regardless, I was once again pleased with the product. I am going to investigate to see if there are more flavors. Thank you for the opportunity SheSpeaks and DripDrop.
