1FACE Watch Review

1FACE Watch Review





The mission statement behind the 1:Face Watch is, “Changing the World 1:Face at a Time”. Creative how they incorporate the watches’ name into the statement, eh? So basically, Mirza Minds; a design and marketing firm is launching this campaign, where each watch is dedicated to supporting a different organization. The creative director mentions, “Our goal was to design an affordable & trendy product that would benefit the world.”
The black version benefits cancer research, American Cancer Society (A.C.S), the white version benefits poverty (UNICEF), the blue version benefits the World Wildlife Fund plus other organizations and the pink version benefits Breast Cancer Awareness and Research. There are actually 9 watches total that benefit charities. 
I chose the Pink 1FACE Watch which signifies Breast Cancer Awareness.





If you purchase this 1FACE watch you will be helping 9 people both women and men get a mammogram. I love featuring companies that create such beautiful pieces and pieces that are in honor of so many different charities is a triple bonus. In my family we've had a string of Cancer. It's something I hate to see. Both of my Grandmother's have had breast cancers and are survivors, but unfortunately I had a great uncle pass of Breast Cancer. Not many people know that men can also get Breast Cancer so it's imperative that you do your monthly screenings as well as get a mammogram. I am 24 years old and I've had 3 mammograms already because of a Breast Cancer scare back in 2003 and again in 2010. Thank God mine is benign so far, but it will have to be watch considering my history. I wear this watch with pride - to be able to tell people how they can help out even if it's by buying a watch you are helping 9 people! It doesn't have to be in support of Breast Cancer you can choose whatever charity you wish to represent. I love that the watch doesn't show the time always and it has a mirrored effect while the watch is off. I just push the button on the side and it lights up - I think it saves battery life when the time is not constantly shown. The time shines bright and the watch is very comfortable to wear. It doesn't feel cheap at all. The band is very comfortable.

The Hair Grip Review + Giveaway!

The Hair Grip Review + Giveaway!



About ' The Hair Grip '
Each band comes packaged in a box along with an instruction sheet.

All of the bands are manufactured in China and come in Black, Brown, and Tan. They are used underneath wigs (including lace front), scarves (EVEN SILK), and hats, and can grip to skin. They have become extremely popular in the cancer and alopecia society. The wig grip is becoming known in the African American and Jewish women circles who wear wigs. The idea of the band is so you do not need to use combs, clips, double sided tape, pins etc...

The product sells for $20
For any questions you might have:

My Impression: As many of you may know I suffer from PCOS & Thyroid issues - both in which has caused me to lose a lot of my hair as well as massive thinning on top. Rather than walk around not confident in myself I decided to wear wigs. I was afraid at first because there is a lot of stigma with wearing wigs, but really anyone can wear wigs. You would be surprised the celebrities that wear wigs! I've worn wigs now for about 2 years and I've had to either sew clips into my wigs which anyone who wears wigs knows the pain in the BUTT they are! At the end of a long day they can leave your head hurting. I had heard a lot about grips online mostly the rubbery kind, but those are to thick and they pull your hair. What's the difference between 'The Hair Grip' and a regular Velour Velcro Wig Grip you see cheap online? The cheap ones just slide right off of your head! 'The Hair Grip' is the best invention when it comes to wig wearers. I can place it around my hair line and use the velcro closure and it feels nice against my head. It does not move hardly at all because the Velour doesn't let the grip move. I place my wig on and my wig just sits in place and I'm just thrilled that I can wear a wig comfortably.

Harvey Prince Cherie Blossom Review + Giveaway!


Harvey Prince Cherie Blossom Review



The blooming of the Cherry Blossom in Japan signifies the beginning of spring: new beginnings, a new season, and a new day. It's time to find your own new beginning with Cherie Blossom.

A handsome French man whispers "ma chérie" to his beloved. Her lips are a delicate red and she smells of sweet cherries. She knows the power her beauty. She is flawless; she is ageless. Notes of pink grapefruit dance down her neck--the scent of eternal youth. She is his dream.

Cherie Blossom is the epitome of both rebirth in Japan and the power of a classic French seductress. Sweet, soft hints of Somet Sakura mingle with pink grapefruit and vanilla. A cool musk adds a touch of sophistication. Together, these fragrant notes play a song no man can resist. The woman who dares to wear Cherie Blossom feels timeless, and in truth, we look the way we feel.

Notes: Somei Sakura (Cherry Blossom), Pink Grapefruit, Cool Musk, Vanilla 
Style:  Delicate. Young. Passionate.


My Impression: I have tried many Harvey Prince perfumes in the past and so far Hello & Cherie Blossom are my favorites. Cherie Blossom has that slight sweet, but sexy smell to it. You can definitely smell the musk with the undertones of Vanilla. I also take in a bit of a Cherry sweet scent. It's a very beautiful scent. I've been wearing it now for about 5 or 6 days. I've gotten quite a few compliments, but one thing I have noticed is that it's a fragrance I can't quite smell on myself, but others can smell. I don't know if that is just me, but I typically like to smell the fragrance, but it seems that Cherie Blossom is light to the scent when smelling it yourself or at least for me, but since my husband can smell it fine - I'm assuming it might just be my allergies this season. The scent I find doesn't last an overly long amount of time. Hello provides more of a longer lasting scent and is more of a muskier scent. I would say if you love Hello then chances are you'll love Cherie Blossom if you like hint's of sweet.

Be Campbell's Staying Heart Healthy



"Address your heart & stay heart healthy."

Health is foremost on people’s minds, keeping your family in tip top shape can be a challenge in these busy times. Campbell’s Soup wants you to “Address Your Heart” with Heart Healthy Tips, recipes and more! 
Visit AddressYourHeart.com to get heart-healthy tips, including 21 Campbell’s recipes that are certified by the AHA and product coupons, as well as Facebook.com/campbellskitchen for the latest Campbell’s recipes and offers.

When I younger about 4 years old my Father was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy. What is Cardiomyopathy? 

Cardiomyopathy is a weakening of the heart muscle or another problem with the heart muscle. It often occurs when the heart cannot pump as well as it should, or with other heart function problems. Most patients with cardiomyopathy have heart failure.

My Father was told he only had 6 months left to live with an ejection fracture of 13% he had to do something. Now, I personally call it a miracle, but I also contribute his diet and exercise to his heart ejection fracture going up to now 43% today. I am now 24 years old and he's still with me thank God. We have a long family history of heart problems so it came as no surprise when I was diagnosed with SVT at 5 years old. What is SVT? 

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a condition presenting as a rapid heart rhythm originating at or above the atrioventricular node. Supraventricular tachycardias can be contrasted with the potentially more dangerous ventricular tachycardias—rapid rhythms that originate within the ventricular tissue.

I was put on medication - I had to go every 2 weeks to get my digoxin levels checked so I've become accustomed to being stuck by needles. It wasn't until I was 16 years old that I was told there was something that could be done about SVT. A 'Cardiac Ablasion' I was born with an extra electrical wire in my heart so they went in and ablated the problem areas that was causing my heart to function improperly, but unfortunately it was only successful for about 6 months and then my SVT returned. Now, I've always been an athletic child - My father was as well, but even though being younger - I never ate properly. I was thin, but I didn't mind what I was eating which when I was 14 I was diagnosed with PCOS a condition that causes infertility, cysts, and weight gain. It affected my heart - my body - my life! I began gaining weight - I wasn't paying attention to what I ate - soon I began passing out - I had developed 'Sick Sinus Syndrome' of the heart from my ablasion. I was rolled into the operating room once again to have a regular E.P study and found out I have 'Infrahisian Heart Block' What is this? 

A heart block is a disease in the electrical system of the heart. This is opposed to coronary artery disease, which is disease of the blood vessels of the heart. While coronary artery disease can cause angina (chest pain) or myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart block can cause lightheadedness, syncope (fainting), and palpitations.

I believe I have AV block. That day after awaiting a long 3 hour E.P study which usually takes little to no time at all - I was told I would have to have a Pacemaker implantation THAT DAY! I was so afraid! I was rolled back upstairs to await for my family to tell them and knowing I had to go back down for the biggest surgery I've ever had was a terrifying experience. After I had my Pacemaker surgery I've felt my heart still isn't the best it could be so I've taken some steps to change my life, my lifestyle. I began eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. I take 1,000 I.U of fish oil 3 times daily and I've tried a few recipes from Campbell's Soup! I also be sure to get in at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. 



Here are my favorite 5 Recipes from Campell's!

Creamy Turkey & Vegetable Lasagna 


Turkey Meatloaf


  



Tilapia
 & Vegetable Casserole

 



Pizza Primavera with Cauliflower Crust
