My Wall Decal Shop Review

My Wall Decal Shop Review


Pirate Symbol 

The Wall Decal Shop is one of the many wall decal shops that I love mainly because prices are cheaper on a lot of their decals. My husband got to pick this time which decal he wanted and he chose of course the 'Pirate Symbol' and we placed it's placed on the back of a vehicle. It's very awesome looking I have to say. He loves the color read. The decal was a bit thicker than other decals we've used, but non the less it was a bit difficult to get the decal off of the sticker, but once we did it was easier to apply. It just wanted to stick to the paper for some reason and we had to work to get it off. Maybe it's where it's been so hot out, but The Wall Decal Shop not only carries just these types of designs nor is all of them for your vehicles. You can place these essentially anywhere - your living room, bathroom, and bedroom. They also provide you with a puddy board to help flatten out the decal and to apply it easily. They have great customer service and are very friendly.

Honeycolor Contacts Review

HoneyColor Contacts Review




HoneyColor contacts has an array of different contacts from dramatic to natural looks. I was sent the Gio Bambi Chocolate Brown. My eyes are hazel - I would have loved to try a lighter color, but these are okay. I'm not judging them based on the color, but the quality. The quality of the contacts are great. They feel better than my real contacts, but sadly since I have an astigmatism I could only get the no powered contacts. HoneyColor does not yet have contacts for astigmatisms, but that may change in the future. Still, you can get the no powered contacts and wear them with your glasses as I did in the pictures below.

Rewined Candles Review

Rewined Candles 


Rewined Candles are Repurposed Glass made with Natural Premium Soy Wax

They are made from recycled wine bottles. 

I thought this was a beautiful idea. A great piece to have in your home. The scent which is one of their most popular scents sent to me was 'Pinot Noir' Scent of Fig, Cranberry, Leather, and the Earth. It's scent is very breath-taking and luscious. I know when people think Earth tones they think herbal scents and most aren't fans of those types of scents, but this candle really smells amazing. It smells like a new car mixed with a spice. The candle in the picture above I had it burning for about 6 hours which is pretty good because the candle was not poured above the wax stamp on the right side. So that tells you how long these actually burn. They are made of soy wax and if you didn't know soy wax lasts a lot longer than regular wax. I love that each candle was crafted by hand and it feels like a gift rather than something in a manufacturer's line. It's got heart and soul that went into the bottles turned candles. 

BEN & JERRY'S Review & Swag Bag Giveaway!

Ben & Jerry's Review & Giveaway



I was given the chance to review flavors from Ben & Jerry's. I've never in my life tried Ben & Jerry's and wanted to know what all the hype was about. I picked up the flavors in 'Chocolate Fudge Brownie' and 'Peanut Butter Cup' and it took me forever to be able to actually get these because it's been 100 degrees here where I live and the closest store that carries Ben & Jerry's is over 20 miles so we waited till the evening, but on the way home they began to already melt so to avoid wearing ice-cream we stopped at a truck stop got some spoons and divided the ice-cream between my Mom, Grandmother, Little Cousins and Me. I love that Ben & Jerry's has so many flavors to choose from that I've never heard of some with titles funnier than expected. If you are wondering what is that black thing on top of the 'Peanut Butter Cup' pint? Then, I'll tell you. It's an Ice-Cream lock. You heard me a lock - to keep those pesky family members from stealing your ice-cream. It works great to! Both of these flavors were delicious and I can't wait on the next shopping trip when it starts to cool down to pick up more. The flavors did not taste artificial, but the brownies were spot on. I absolutely loved them!

Beautyfix Review




Beautyfix 




I'm sure by now if you are into subscription boxes as much as I am you've probably heard of Beautyfix. It has a new concept that I thought was pretty fascinating and would allow you to try alot of products that you might otherwise not be able to because of the cost. This is what they do: you get to choose about $400 worth of products every season for just $49.99! All you do is complete a Beauty Profile and their panel of experts will choose all the products they think would be good for you. Then you get to choose 8 products from that list! And the best part is you don't get sample sizes, these are deluxe and full size products! Can you believe it? I don't know how they do it but I got some pretty good products to try from their recommendations

LaFresh Review

La Fresh Review 


About La Fresh >Here<


I was given the chance to try the La Fresh w.a.g line and used them on our dogs. I first tried the Ear Wipes on our dogs - I thought for sure they would run away from me when id try to wipe their ears out, but they did not. In fact they loved it! Even though their ears looked clean I couldn't believe the nasty things and wax that came from their ears. Dogs are notorious for getting ear mites and I'm glad that this product hopefully if their were any they were removed. Since it's the Summer time flies are out as well and they tend to be biting the dogs and the fact that this offers prevention of odor, itching, and infections really calms me. I really recommend these to all pet owners to help out their little ears because this stuff really works!

Ozeri Green Earth Smooth 12-inch Non-stick Frying Pan Review

Ozeri Green Earth Non Stick Frying Pan



Utilizing natural ceramic as a coating, the Green Earth Pan by Ozeri is one of the 
world's first frying pans to achieve non-stick perfection while remaining absolutely free of PTFE, PFOA and other harmful chemicals. Conventional non-stick cookware is achieved through a coating of PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene), a synthetic substance that has waxy properties. At very high temperatures, PTFE begins to decompose and release fumes which are documented to be lethal to birds and small pets, and which can be harmful to humans. In addition, traditional pans incorporating PTFE are manufactured with the aid of PFOA (PerFluoroOctanoic Acid), which the EPA has classified as a 'persistent pollutant of the environment'. With the Green Earth Pan's ecozeri technology, even under high temperatures, no harmful toxic fumes are ever released into the environment. This is because the Green Earth Pan by Ozeri utilizes a 100% ceramic coating derived from nature - not from a laboratory. The Green Earth Pan's ceramic coating is completely free of PTFE and PFOA. In addition to being completely eco-friendly and ultra-safe, the Green Earth Pan's natural ceramic coating is far more durable and scratch-resistant than other non-stick surfaces. With better non-stick properties, the Green Earth Pan by Ozeri allows you to cook with as little as half the amount of oil normally used, and it makes cleaning a breeze. The Green Earth Pan by Ozeri is made of the highest quality anodized aluminum that allows for even cooking and fantastic browning without the risk of hot spots. It boasts a magnetized bottom for rapid heat transfer on induction stoves, and a heat resistant Bakelight handle.

“Soufflé” Ultra light seaweed cream, helps improve oxygenation, detoxifies and stimulates the skin. Helps maintain optimal hydration and moisture refine pores, balance oil, soothes irritation, improved collagen and Elastin production. Slow the creation of new lines and wrinkles. Normal to Oily

Key Ingredients: Aloe Vera Gel, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Sodium Hyaluronate.



My Impression: I have to say this is my new favorite moisturizer. It's very light on the skin. It has more of a slick almost water droplet feel as it glides on the skin. It sinks into the skin relatively fast which I love because when you are in a rush to go on with the rest of your routine it's great to have a product that drys quickly. I did feel as though it soothed and gave my skin a refreshing cooling sensation when applying which felt wonderful. It does have a bit of a tacky feel, but only for a brief time while setting. It's not sticky nor tacky on the hands - just while it's setting in on the face. It goes away and fades into a smoother feel. My face has felt really soft and moisturized. I've noticed more of a glow in my skin as well as a difference in texture. All in all I think it's a stand up product and the company has great costumer service and Id love to try out the rest of their line of products.

Clear Shampoo & Conditioner Review

Clear Shampoo & Conditioner Review



The search for strong, beautiful hair is finally over. Introducing CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY, a new line of shampoos and conditioners that will change the way women care for their hair. 99% percent of hair's natural strength and beauty comes from the scalp, the foundation fro strong, beautiful hair. For years women have been treating the ends of their hair, rather than the source - the scalp. One small change like feeding scalp - rather than just treating the ends of hair - can make a big difference for the right foundation for strong beautiful hair. 

NEW CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY is available in a range of six shampoos and five conditioners to meet different scalp and hair needs. The line is infused with Nutrium 10 technology, a rich blend of vitamins and nutrients. CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY nourishes the scalp, creating the right foundation for strong, beautiful hair from root to tip. NEW CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY gives women stronger, more beautiful hair in just 7 days. 


I received the NEW CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY : TOTAL CARE
For all hair types



| Gently cleanses & nourishes scalp and hair

| Formulated with Nutrium 10, an advanced moisture complex of vitamins and nutrients including vitamins B5, C & E, sunflower, almond, soybean & coconut oils & aloe vera

| Clinically proven to help restore scalp's natural moisture balance to create the right foundation for strong, beautiful hair from root to tip

It's essential to give our scalps as much TLC as we give to the skin on our body because after all, scalp IS skin, And a well-nourished scalp is the right foundation for strong, beautiful hair. 

Taken without flash*

My Impression: I've been using Clear Scalp & Therapy for quite some time now and I can't get over the difference it's made in my hair and scalp. My scalp was very sensitive before using Clear Scalp & Therapy Total Care. It was odd because my scalp felt so dry and flaky, but my hair itself would be oily fast. I knew something was off with my hair. The smell of the shampoo and conditioner is heavenly and lasted all through-out the day. I notice when I let my hair go naturally curly that it doesn't frizz really at all when using this duo. My hair actually felt really, really soft. I think this is perfect for those who want to get a shampoo and conditioner that is great for all hair types and helps the scalp as well. I always hated having to buy a shampoo for flakes when my scalp would dry out - now I don't have to worry about that issue as this took care of it completely. I love that I can find this in my local stores as other shampoos and conditioners I've tried I cannot hardly find anywhere. These were easily found almost at any mass retailer I went to. The products range from $4.99-$5.99 which I think is a great price for this great of quality of shampoo and conditioner. A great thing I've noticed is that if you've ever dyed your hair - you know the feeling of the conditioner how smooth it usually leaves your hair and you are wondering 'I wish I could find a conditioner that felt this good in my hair!' well this is the only conditioner I've used that gave me that same feeling. The company was very generous, kind, as well as informative on their products. I think I'll be a lifetime fan of CLEAR!

___________________________________


My Impression: When they say 2.5X concentrated they mean it. I love the fact that this detergent takes less than other brands. I can simply put the small cap full and that is enough for a large load of clothes. The scent I got is 'Sunny Day' and it's not too harsh of a smell. I actually like it. It reminds me a lot of baby shampoo. It can do 34-51 loads in the standard HE machine. This did a pretty good job at getting the dirt out of our clothing and the scent did last. It gave our clothes a soft feel without using a fabric softener so I'm really surprised by that. ECOVER actually has a variety of laundry supplies including fabric softener which I'm thinking about getting. I think all around this detergent is a money saver as you use so much less compared to other leading brands.

Little Trees Car Freshener Review

Little Trees Car Freshener Review


About Little Trees from their website!


It was 1952 in Watertown, New York, USA. A milk truck driver had enough of the smell of spilled milk and mentioned the problem to Julius “Jules” Sämann, a local chemist. As luck would have it, Jules had spent some time deep in the Canadian pine forests learning about aromatic oils that give evergreens their soothing, distinctive smell. Jules went to work on this all-too-common problem and – using exceptional fragrances on specialty material – soon developed the concept of a hanging air freshener. He also drew the abstract evergreen shape and gave it the brand name CAR-FRESHNER. Almost 60 years later, Jules’ unobtrusive and ecologically responsible invention is unmatched in quality, efficiency, longevity, convenience and value.

And so an American legend – and an answer for spilled milk – was born.

Jules believed in his idea and started producing the Royal Pine-scented air fresheners in an empty auto shop in Watertown. He sent samples to local gas stations and the air fresheners flew off the shelves. Soon, orders were rolling in from all over the country.

Throughout the 1950s and 60s, people realized that Jules’ air fresheners were an effective way to freshen homes, cars and offices, and the products continued to gain in popularity. Jules added other fragrances – and colors – to the line. Soon a distributor opened a European factory, and by the 1970s, the air fresheners were becoming increasingly popular around the world. Around this time Jules began calling his products the LITTLE TREES air fresheners in the United States to go with the MAGIC TREE, ARBRE MAGIQUE and WUNDER-BAUM names used in other countries.

In the 1980s, CAR-FRESHNER introduced Vanillaroma, a yellow Tree that would take over the “best selling fragrance” title from Royal Pine. The company was quickly becoming a fragrance powerhouse!

In the early 1990s, Jules handed the reins of his company to his son Ronald, a medical doctor. The two generations worked hand in hand until Jules’ death in 1999.

Jules lived to see his invention become a global symbol of freshness and quality, and an American icon. The LITTLE TREES air fresheners have appeared in countless Hollywood movies and TV shows. In fact, there is a special section on this website dedicated to reporting new sightings!

Today, CAR-FRESHNER Corporation is still a family-owned business and is still headquartered in Watertown, New York. Ronald's son Daniel joined the company as General Counsel to help steer the LITTLE TREES brand into the future. CAR-FRESHNER produces the LITTLE TREES air fresheners in its two factories in the United States: Watertown, New York; and DeWitt, Iowa. CAR-FRESHNER supplies most of the world with US-made Tree-shaped air fresheners. In Europe, however, most Trees come from official factories in Italy, Sweden and Switzerland.

Today, the LITTLE TREES air fresheners are available in over sixty fragrances, including new favorites like Black Ice and New Car Scent. CAR-FRESHNER also offers many other innovative types of air fresheners, from pump sprays to vent clips. We invite you to explore this website and our products.

___________________________________


I got the chance to test out a few fragrances from 'Little Trees' and it's been a while since I've smelled 'Little Trees' I remember back in the 90's my Dad used to keep them in his truck all of the time. I forgot how strong they are! They are amazing if you want your car or truck to smell great without having to spray tons of perfumes and odor eliminators in your vehicle. 

The scents I got were:







One thing you need to know is to not completely pull these out of the plastic and to follow the directions on the back of the 'Little Tree' to make sure your 'Little Tree' lasts as long as possible. These are inexpensive and I think the best way to make your vehicle smell great!  My favorite is by far the *new* scent Cotton Candy it smells amazing!
