Tosca Clarifying Shampoo ~ Giveaway

*Tosca Clarifying Shampoo

I am pretty picky about what I use on my hair, especially since one of my best friends owns a hair salon.  Since my best friend does own a hair salon that means I have access to a lot of different brands of hair care products and I have tried most of them.  While their are a lot of really good hair care products out there I definitely have my favorites.  My favorites include brands that are Organic, Sodium Chloride free, Sulfate free and Paraben free.  I have found that those are the brands that my hair responds best to.

So, I was really excited to try out the Tosca brand since it is totally new to me!  Tosca is all the things I look for in a brand.  It is made with 100% Certified Organic Botanical Extracts, 100% Sodium Chloride free, 100% Sulfate free and Paraben free.  It's also good for the environment since it's water soluble and biodegradable.  I tried the Tosca Clarifying Shampoo and it left my hair feeling soft and clean but not stripped and my hair also seemed to have a little more shine it it.  I compared this to a similar but much more expensive brand of shampoo that I use and I was really impressed that it did just as good of a job at cleaning my hair and leaving it hydrated and soft for less than half of what the other brand cost.  I also love that the Tosca brand is also Cruelty Free!

Tosca has an entire line of hair care products so I am looking forward to trying out some of their conditioner as well!  Plus, Tosca was nice enough to sponsor a Giveaway for me so TWO lucky readers can win a FREE bottle of Tosca Clarifying Shampoo to test out for themselves!  The Giveaway starts 07/01/15 @ 1:00 p,m. PST and ends 07/08/14 @ 1:00 p.m. PST.  The Giveaway is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only.

Collagen Eye Mask by Beneleaf

*Collagen Eye Mask by Beneleaf

I think it's pretty well known by now that I am a huge skincare addict!  Even though I am a fanatic about skincare I have only been using Eye Masks for the last year or so.  Eye Masks are my favorite thing to use, especially if I have a special occasion and I want my under eye area to look puff free and dark circle free!  I have a few favs that really help reduce puffiness, hydrate and reduce dark circles and these Collagen Eye Masks by Beneleaf are definitely one of them!

These Eye Masks are made with cutting edge of skin care technology and contain Hydrogel that is identical in structure to our skin cells.  Upon application the Eye Masks go to work and the potent, skin loving ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid sink into the deepest layers of the dermis leaving it tighter, more hydrated and more smooth.  Dark circles and puffiness disappear! and the results last for a few days not just a few hours!

These Eye Masks are not only perfect for a special occasion or a night of relaxation but they also make a great gift idea!  I have a girlfriend that's getting married next week and these are going in a pre-wedding day goodie bag I am putting together for her!

NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash

*NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash

This NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash is AMAZING and I think it's a "Must Have" item for anyone dealing with uneven skin tone, rough skin texture and congested pores!

This Foaming Glycolic Wash is formulated with 18% Glycolic Acid and 2% Lactobionic Acid which helps exfoliate dead skin cell, unclog congested pores, smooth out skin texture and stimulate cell renewal which also helps eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking and feeling clean, clear and rejuvenated.  It's also soap-free, fragrance-free. dye-free and pH balanced.

I use the NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash as part of my morning and evening skincare routines.  I apply to wet skin, massage in and then I let the product sit on my skin for about 15-20 seconds before I wash it off.  I feel like letting the product sit on my skin for those extra 15-20 seconds allows the Glycolic Acid and Lactobionic Acid to really work their magic.  If you have sensitive skin this product may not be for you and may cause undue irritation.  However, if you don't have sensitive skin this product IS for you and I highly recommend it!

I love NeoStrata products!  I have tried a few of them now and have several others on my wish list! Their skincare products are professional grade and deliver professional grade results!

42 Bees Professional Slant Tip Tweezers ~ Giveaway

*42 Bees Professional Slant Tip Tweezers

A great pair of Tweezers can make ALL the difference!  I LOVE these Professional Slant Tip Tweezers that 42 Bees sent me to review for them.  Not only are they comfortable to use but the grasp super fine stray hairs really well.  

I have naturally thin and blond eyebrows and I always get those really fine stray hairs that you can hardly see until they have something like eyeshadow on them and then they really stand out. They are super annoying but these Tweezers are able to grab hold of those fine hairs without breaking them and pull them out with ease.  I also love the little eyebrow comb at the other end so you can comb out your brows to make brow shaping easier.

The 42 Bees Professional Slant Tip Tweezers are made from high quality durable stainless steel so you know that these are Tweezers will last a really long time and not loose the tight gripping action.

Would you like some new Professional Slant Tip Tweezers?  42 Bees was nice enough to sponsor a Giveaway so that one lucky reader can win their very own Slant Tip Tweezers!  The Giveaway starts 06/30/15 @ 12:00 p.m. PST and ends 07/14/15 @ 12:00 p.m. PST and is open to all U.S. and Canadian residents!

Aztec Gold Chia Seeds

*Aztec Gold Chia Seeds

Chis Seeds are one of my favorite foods!  Mostly because they are a super food and they are a great source of valuable nutrients and antioxidants for only a few calories.  Chia Seeds are the number one ingredient in almost all of the smoothies that I make and I love to add them my salads and hot cereal as well.
Chia Seeds can help you loose weight by reducing food cravings and by preventing some of the food that you eat from getting absorbed into your system.  They can also help you feel full faster and longer because they can absorb 10 times their weight in water.
There is also evidence that it can help reduce high blood pressure and can also be beneficial for those with Diabetes because Chia Seeds slow down how fast our bodies convert carbohydrates into simple sugars.  They also have higher levels of OMEGA-3 & 6 essential fatty acids than Flax Seeds and are easier to digest.

The Aztec Gold Chia Seeds are from Jalisco, Mexico which is the original and premier origin of Chia Seeds.  The Chia Seeds are grown in ideal conditions, high altitude, rich climate and red soil to create the best possible Chia Seeds.  They are also Certified Kosher.

You can purchase Aztec Gold Chia Seeds on minimus.biz!

C-25 Super Vitamin C Serum by Sieva

*C-25 Super Vitmain C Serum by Sieva

I love Vitamin C Serums and all the amazing things it does for your skin!  What makes this C-25 Super Vitamin C Serum by Sieva so special?  It has the highest concentration of Vitamin C that I have ever used at 25% and I am pretty sure it's the highest on the market!  Most Vitamin C Serum only have 20%.  

What does that extra 5% of Vitamin C mean for our skin?  That extra amount of antioxidant power helps improves the tone, texture and clarity of your skin and increases collagen production at a faster rate than a lower percentage of Vitamin C.  It also contains Hyaluronic Acid and Sea Buckthorn Oil Organic Extract that helps plump up skin for awesome anti-aging results.  It also reduces the appearance of fine line, wrinkles, age spots, sun spots, skin pigmentation, and discoloration.
Compare the ingredients to similar products by more expensive brands like Skinceuticals, Obagi, Cellex, and PerriconeMD.  The C-25 Super Vitmain C Serum by Sieva has the same and in some cases superior organic ingredients for far less!

The serum is lightweight and is easily absorbed.  For best results, I use it in both my morning and evening skincare routines and my skin is brighter, clearer and more youthful!

Sieva Eyelash Growth Serum

*Sieva Eyelash Growth Serum

I have to admit that I was a huge skeptic about Eyelash Growth Serum.  I didn't really think any serum could make my Eyelashes grow.  Wow, was I wrong!  I used the Eyelash Growth Serum by Sieva and I noticed a difference in my lashes in about 2 weeks!  Not only were they little longer but they were also thicker and a lot healthier.  After 30 days I noticed significant growth!  I decided to start using on my eyebrows to see if I can get them to look more full.  I naturally have fairly thin eyebrows and I envy those with lush. thick brows!

The Eyelash Growth Serum by Sieva is made with a blend of natural ingredients like  vitamins, peptides, and nutrient rich extracts to condition and improve the overall appearance of dry, barely-there lashes.  The serum only needs to be used once a day to achieve longer, fuller lashes.  I just use it at night,before bed as part of my nighttime skincare routine.  Totally worth trying out!  Plus, you can try the serum risk free!  If you are not completely satisfied with the results from using our Eyelash Enhancing Serum, no matter when or where you purchased the product, simply contact Sieva at any time to receive a full manufacturer's refund.

Retractable Dog Leash by Growpetz

*Retractable Dog Leash by Growpetz

Let's be honest.  My husband and I are the kind of pet parents that kinda treat our dogs like their our children.  They are our babies, they're spoiled rotten and they the loves of our lives (besides our real kids of course)!  Needless to say, they are a little out of control and usually walking them is more like them walking us!

I have always wanted to try out a retractable leash but I thought our dogs were too big and powerful to be able to even think about it.  However, Gropetz sent me their Retractable Dog Leash  to test our for them and I was shocked to find out a Retractable Dog Leash is exactly what we have been needing.  The Retractable Dog Leash is recommended for dogs up to 45 pounds but it worked great for our Chocolate Lab, 90 lbs and out Pit Bull that is about 60 lbs.

The leash is great quality, the handle part is extremely comfortable and I like the simple button control that allows you to pause and unlock the leash as needed and extend it up to 13 feet.  If you have ever wanted to try a Retractable Dog Leash I would highly recommend this one!

Wet & Dry Detangle Brush by SH&SH

*Wet & Dry Detangle Brush by SH&SH

How adorable is this brush?  Not only is it cute and colorful and compact but it's amazing at detangling hair.  The unique thing about this brush and what I love most about it is the extra long bristles!  They are shaped in a way that they actually massage your scalp and increase circulation.  It also detangles wet or dry hair with ease and keeps hair from being damaged.  You can even keep it in the shower to comb through your favorite conditioner or hair mask.  The other cool thing is that there is a mirror and the back side.  The size of this brush makes it perfect for travel or to throw in your beach bag or purse!

Natural Organic Cold Pressed Rosehip Seed Oil by Nura

*Natural Organic Cold Pressed Rosehip Seed Oil by Nura

Rosehip Oil is a lot like Argan Oil for me.  You can use it just about anywhere and it does amazing things for your skin.  I have been loving this Natural Organic Cold Pressed Rosehip Seed Oil by Nura.  It's excellent quality and the strong "hay or fishy" smell sometimes associated with pure Organic Rosehip Oil is virtually undetectable with this brand so that by itself is pretty impressive.  A lot of people are turned off by the smell of Rosehip Oil, contrary to what you might think it does not smell like roses!

I have been using this oil around my eyes and on my neck, and decollete to help diminish my fine lines and I have seen a notable difference.  The oil is lightweight, non-greasy and it also absorbs really quickly.  You can instantly feel your skin being nourished when using this oil and it leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.  Fine lines and wrinkles are also visibly reduced!

Even though I have very oily skin I am a huge fan of facial oils, I just have to be careful which ones I use.  For some reason Rosehip Oil does tend to make me breakout on my face which is why I only use it on specific areas.  However, I do know people with skin similar to mine that can use it on their face without any issues whatsoever.  It can help with all sorts of issues like scars, wrinkles, age spots, burns, dry skin, stretch marks, rashes, dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, sun damage, anti-inflammatory, radiation and even hyper-pigmentation!

Top It Off - Eco Friendly - Wine Stoppers

*Top It Off - Eco Friendly - Wine Stoppers

Do you have a bridal shower or bachelorette party coming up that you trying to find the perfect gift for?  I think these Eco Friendly - Wine Stoppers by Top It Off are a great option!  I have been loving these, not only because I think the sayings on them are cute & witty but just for the simple functionality of them.  It's nice to be able to put a bottle of wine in the refrigerator and not have to worry about a bulky wine stopper getting in the way.  Plus, they are also leak proof!  I was a bit skeptical but I can assure you I tested it out for myself.  I have a little wine refrigerator and obviously the wine bottles lay on their side in a wine refrigerator so I placed one of the Wine Stoppers on a bottle of opened wine and stuck it in my wine refrigerator and Voilà!  No leakage...nothing!  They produce an airtight and leak proof seal and also help prevent oxidation.  Awesome!

Like I said, I think these make a really great gift idea, especially for someone who is into wine!  They are Eco Friendly 100% food grade Silicone, dishwasher safe and reusable.  The Top It Off - Eco Friendly - Wine Stoppers fits standard wine, beer, champagne, and soda bottles including some larger styles.

Go to Amazon.com to pick up these cool stoppers for a gift and grab some for yourself too!  I promise you will love them as much as I do!

Lashiq Natural Eyelash Growth Serum

*Lashiq Natural Eyelash Growth Serum

I think we would all like to know if lash growth serums actually work.  Especially before we fork over a significant amount of money for one!  Thankfully, I have been testing out a few lately so I can give you feedback,

Recently, I have been testing out this Lashiq Natural Eyelash Growth Serum and I have had really impressive results!  I think I really started to notice a difference around the 3 week mark.  The key to using lash growth serums is that you have to have a lot of patience (which is not exactly my best virtue) and if you faithfully use it as directed you will see results.  I tried to use mine in the morning before I put on my makeup and after I washed my face at night.  However, I did have a little extra motivation since I had quite a few of my lashes break off due to an old eyelash curler I was using.  Perseverance pays off!  My lashes not only grew but they also seem to be thicker.  Total win!

(Tip:  I have even been using it on my naturally thin eyebrows too so I am hoping it will help fill them in a little!)

What I like about the Lashiq Natural Eyelash Growth Serum is that it has lash loving ingredients like Biotin, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Retinyl Palmitate, Pumpkin Seed Extract and Cucumber Fruit Extract.  It also does not contain any harmful ingredients like Sulfates, Parabens and also does not contain any Chemical Preservatives.

Lashiq Natural Eyelash Growth Serum also comes with a 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE!   If you are not 100% satisfied with the product, or the customer service, or the color of the product, or even the package of the product, or for ANY other reason, you will be refunded 100%!  So, really you have nothing to loose to try it out for yourself!  Check it out on Amazon.com...

Lamp Finials by I Like That Lamp

*Lamp Finials by I Like That Lamp

I am sure lamp finials may seem like a weird thing for me to be blogging about but I had to share my love of these things!  Thank goodness for these cute, rustic, antique brass finials, they literally saved me from throwing out a perfectly good lamp!

I have been searching for a finial that would fit this little decorative lamp that I have had for years to no avail.  I have no idea what happened to the original one but I finally came to the conclusion that I was just going to have to part with my little lamp since it just looked too odd without the finial on top.  Then the nice people at I Like That Lamp sent me two of the antique brass finials and wouldn't you know it...a perfect fit!  I could not be more happy!  I Like That Lamp saved my lamp and made my day!  THANK YOU!!!
The Lamp Finials come in 3 finishes...modern but rustic unfinished nickel, bright gold, or an antique brass finish.  I used the antique brass finish.  The finials measure 1" at their widest point, 1/2" across the bottom, 2 1/4" tall.

Go to Amazon.com for more information or to purchase these lamp saving finials by I Like That Lamp!
