Leo Super Hero {A Book Review}
This was a cute book about a little Boy named Leo who when wearing a superhero outfit his Mother made him, does some super things. He uses his smarts and heart along with his cat Milkshake to help a poor little mouse find it's way back to it's family. The story has a great moral setting and fun illustrations. I love that Leo does this while his family is sleeping- not looking for glory but because he is good in heart. And since Leo is 7 years old in the story it was fun to read this with my son who is 8, and see him relate to Leo.
One reviewer said "The book also encourages the love and understanding between people and animals, therefore even cat and mouse as archenemies want to help each other on book pages."
I couldn't have put it better myself.
I think is a great book for any child, and I truly think that they will love it as much as we did.
Yalmeh Phytoceramides
I have tried a couple of different brands of Phytoceramides
and out of all of them that I have tried so far, this seems to be a great brand.
I haven't been taking them for very long and even though my face still breaks out but that could be from stress! ha!) I can tell the difference in my skin from fine lines ( I have bad crow's feet already which started from squinting), to my dark under eye circles, something that - which are now lighter, to the younger looking skin on my neck and hands.
I think that the longer I take this the better things can only get for me! Who doesn't want better looking skin? And doing it from the inside out.... easy! They come in a pill form and are easy to sallow.
I'm not always one to keep up with the 'latest' thing, but to my slight surprise phytoceramides are becoming huge in popularity, as people turn to more natural things
Which I am a HUGE fan of! So what are you waiting for? Come jump on this bandwagon and have younger looking skin with me!!

Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream
I am not one to openly tell people that I have cellulite, it's not something I tend to shout out to the masses! And I know how concerned woman are with the cellulite that they have- as a boudoir photographer I hear it all the time... Do you....
Photoshop? Can you Photoshop out my...
cellulite,
arm fat,
double chin..
and the list goes on and on.
The answer is yes, I can it will cost you extra but yes, I can.
I would like to be one of those people that doesn't need it photo shopped out in the first place.
And this cream is helping with that. Nothing is going to take it away 100% on it own, but I do see less rippling which I will always like, same as anyone else. I don't think that I have been using this long enough to say that it's going to take away everything, but I do believe that it will improve everything if nothing else and honestly that is good enough for me.

Magnetic Screen Door by iGotTech
Ever wonder if the products on TV really work or not? ...
It was super simple to put up- just some extra heavy duty hook and loop. It fit our back door well, no problems. Our back door is pretty standard size- pretty much the only one in the house that is a standard size! We have two different back doors, one where the dogs are and one out to the garage and guest house area, we choose the one going out to the guest house area because it gets the most use and we don't allow the dogs in the house.

The Color Wheel
The Color Wheel
This book is very simple, but since it is about the color wheel then honestly you can't expect that it's going to be the crowning glory of all color related books. It did help me when I was getting tried and had been editing photography sessions and everything started to look the same. I could reference the book and see what colors complemented each other well. This book I believe will also come in handy while I am scrapbooking and crafting. You don't have to play the 'guessing game' and have 10 colors out trying to match up what looks best with what, just flip through the book and find out.

Milk Thistle Capsules Review
Milk thistle is recommended to take to help remove some of the toxins from my body from the junk I used to eat. I take 1 capsule twice daily, and I am starting to tell a difference. My fatigue isn't as bad for one thing, which is always a great thing when your chasing around a 2 year old. And I don't seem to have quite the full force of 'winter' germs having there full effect on me as well. This helps with immune support as well, and I can tell the difference already. Even if you don't drink- like me your liver could always use some support since it is getting beat on all day ling my things- what your diet is, if your on any meds, ect. This is a great supplement to have on your 'regular' routine of supplements your taking.
Here is what the company has to say:
CLINICALLY PROVEN - Pure Milk Thistle By Vita Pure Products Works Great As a Liver Cleanse, Liver Detox and Liver Cleansing Diet.

Forskolin Review
I have been taking this for a couple of weeks now and I have to say although I haven't noticed a jump in my energy or metabolism I have noticed a huge difference in my sleep. It's much sounder and I seem to be entered in to REM and deep sleep longer then before - I know this because I use a sleep app the regulates my breathing at night and records everything. I will continue to take this, I don't think that I have seen any loss of fat not due to the product but because I am currently having some other issues that my PCM and I are working on getting fixed. But I have very little doubt that when the health issues are fixed and I start working out again as hard as I was before I will start losing the fat. I am eating less since starting this, and I don't feel like I am starving either.
I think that this is worth a try if nothing else if you are looking to sleep better and lose some weight.

Eco at Heart Stainless Steel Drinking Straws
There are some things in life that I think I should take more part in....
- More hugs and kisses from my kids and amazing hubby,
- Hiring a maid full time so I don't ever have to think about doing dishes and sweeping again,
- And being more "green" than I currently am.
I never thought about the impact that something as simple as a straw could have on things until I got asked to review these stainless steel straws. I'm all for recycling, upcycling, and reusing when ever possible. But the impact a little straw has never crossed my mind honestly.
I love these straws, not only are they easy to clean and reusable but the look great too. They are a little larger in size which for me and my family is great- it means we can use them with smoothies and shakes with out them getting clogged.
And they look great too... sleek and shiny. I dressed the straws up not to long ago with cute little bows near the top for a shower that I hosted for a friend. They were such a hit with everyone!
I will be ordering more of these!

Dr. Song Vitamin C Serum
Ebook - Tracks
I am always in the mood for a good mystery, I don't like anything that is going to scare me for the next month when ever I try to sleep but anything that has a puzzle like quality to it, I normally really like.
Tracks was no different. I am normally VERY good at figuring out who is who and who has done it long before the end of a story or the book. But to my shock and surprise I kept getting things wrong in my guesses, which honestly was very refreshing.
This is set in Israel, which I am not very familiar with so the picture I have in my mind of things may not be all that accurate ha, ha! When I read things tend to play out in my mind almost like a movie, and this was a good one! This has all the elements that a good book needs- a great story and plot line, great timing on delivery, a triangle and mess to unravel and have to unfold, in order to find the answers. What more could you ask for? The people in the story are centered around 3 lawyers and the triangle start right from the very start.
I know you want to know more....

The Everything Binder CD - Financial, Estate and Personal Affairs Organizer
14 years ago my Mother passed away suddenly, it was a Wednesday afternoon I was saddling up and riding my mare getting ready for the queens rodeo contest that my sister and I were to be competing in that weekend. And all of a sudden in our home she had a heart attack.
Event like these tend to make you think in a different light. I learned right away that my family is gold to me and the next moment in time is not promised to anyone- ever.
The days, week, and even months after her death were filled with my Father finding paper work, filling things out, getting all the I's dotted and T's crossed.
Most people don't ever think about events like this until something happens and they are forced to. Death is to some something that is scary, dark, and a big gapping black void they would like to Avoid as much as possible.
And that is perfectly understandable.
This CD-ROM is needed in every house, I really do believe that. This digi binder of sorts has you fill out things for everything- from wills and estate information to medical information. I has tips on things like letting at least 2 different people know where it is at, so in the horrible event something does happen then there is someone that is able to get it and get the needed information from it.
This is what someone else said, and honestly I couldn't have put it in better terms:
"The CD includes the obvious things, of course, such as medical history, insurance policies, investment accounts, real estate, debts, estate planning, and funeral arrangements, but it also covers some things that many people might overlook, like log-in information for personal devices and online accounts, obituary, and even directives about pets. I know from personal experience that having this information readily available when loved ones pass away is far less stressful on the survivors.
The CD is a single PDF file (22MB) that's open for recording. Since the file can be written to, it's very easy to revise the information, and if desired, the file can be emailed to other parties who you want to have it. The file can also be printed for ready reference."
And I even recommend doing so, so that you have a hard copy of everything.
I haven't seen any other similar product on the market that's as comprehensive and flexible as The Everything Binder. It's an ideal way to record and update personal information for your own reference and to help others handle your affairs in case of your death or incapacitation.
I know that it's not anything anyone really wants to think about but, as reasonable and responsible adults it's something that we need to think about. If something happened to you- even if your children are grown, don't you always want to leave them with things put together? I'm sure no one honestly wants to purposefully wants to bring on that type of extra stress to their loved ones.
And it's less stress on you because you know that everything is already in one place and you don't have to go searching for it!

Probiotic Review
I knew a little about the probiotics when I was offered this review but I didn't know a how lot, just that your body needs them.
I was reading up and this is what I found
"SupernovaNaturals Ultimate Probiotic contains Bacillus coagulans, which maintains healthy digestive balance and promotes immune system health. In case you didn't know, probiotic supplements provide the good bacteria typically found in yogurts and fermented foods (kimchi, kombucha, etc.) and are great for regulating the digestive system. If you struggle with gas, bloating, acid reflux, and other digestive issues, taking probiotics can really alleviate your symptoms. Fortunately, SupernovaNaturals provides them in an easy pill form." - Karielle
And since I seem to have all those bad issues and more I figured it couldn't hurt anything! I have been taking them for about 3 weeks now and have seen a good difference. I don't have as much gas and I don't feel so bloated all the time. I think long term this is something that is really going to help me to become healthier.

Shea Butter
Amazing Shea butter! It's perfect for my dry over tired skin, I melt it in my hands and just spread it down my legs after a warm shower. It's perfect for hydrating. I have also used quite a bit of it also to make lotions and hand creams for gifts. Every single person who has gotten one as said smoothing about how well it works, how smooth and silky it is, and that's all thanks to this amazing Shea butter. The quality is outstanding, this will be my new go to brand when buying Shea butter in the future.

Foxbrim Hyaluronic Acid Serum
When I first was sent the hyaluronic acid I wasn't even sure what it was suppose to do for me and my face.
So like most things I don't know about, I headed to the internet and find out about it.
I found this article by Live Strong that simply explains it. Basically it helps fine lines and wrinkles.
So my crows feet better watch out because here it comes!
I have been using this product for about 3 weeks now and for 30+ I have pretty deep crows feet, I tend to squint a lot. I have seen improvements on both my crows feet and the fine lines around my eyes since starting this.
I think with prolonged use there could be a lot of improvement, but for 3 weeks I am happy so far with the results.
The gel isn't bad smelling either, which is a plus. And it glides on smoothly and softly. I put this on after I use my Derma Roller ( you can read all about it Here) so that it is absorbed completely into my skin.
I tend to only use it once a day, I'm honestly not sure if I should use it more or not. I have to research that a little more to figure it out.

Silly Guy phone holder
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this cell phone holder! It's not only fun and a little silly but since it bends any way you need it to I can get it to hang pretty much any where. I am always hanging it from my rear view mirror and putting on my GPS/ Maps it's so easy to see that way! I no longer have to look down but can now just glance across and see where I should be going! It's also great for when I am waiting in the pick up line to get kids from school now I just put on my toddlers favorite show, hang it up and let him watch for the little while we are there in the hot car waiting on his brother, I don't have to worry about sticky fingers, him pushing buttons he shouldn't and he gets to watch a show and be happy! Win. win! I am thinking about buying another one to place in my truck as well!! I just have to add... this is covered in a super soft rubber coating which wipes off well and you don't have to worry about it scratching up your phone, if your anything like me the last thing you need is something else beside you doing damage to your phone! I mess it up just fine on my own! HA. HA.

Victoria Children's Chart
This chart is super cute, there are 8 'parts' to the chart and a sticker with a 'chore' like task to go on them. Like working on math or spelling. Or you can write in your own, like since my son dresses himself and that is one of the stickers I added I did my daily chores to the chart instead of getting dressed. There are number stickers and star stickers as well so that you can keep track in a month how often they did what was on the chart. The chart also acts like a white board and you can use the enclosed marker to make notes, add rewards, etc. to the chart.
I added that if he did 2 weeks worth of chores with out being told and did them well he could have an extra afternoon at video games { HUUUUGE deal in our house}.
I think if you have a child that needs reminding of what they should be doing on a daily or even weekly basis this is a great chart to have!

black head soap
Hmm, well I posted this review once but I don't quite know what happened to it since I posted it right as the power went out here!
Sooo let me try this again....
I am not normally one to use bar soap for my face, but since this is a black head soap and I am prone to back heads more then anything else I thought this would be a great product to try. And guess what? I was right! Like I tend to say about all the products that I review nothing is going to be a "poof and over night everything is fixed" type of thing but since I have start using this both in the morning and at night my face has cleared up quite a bit. My nose and chin seem to be the worse places I tend to break out and my chin looks clearer and my nose isn't as bad but still has a little ways to go before it's 100% clear. . This soap doesn't dry out my face, doesn't make it feel tight, and it doesn't strip the good oils from my skin either. This is a product I will continue to buy after this bar is used up. And with it being a bar it seems like it is lasting a lot longer then if it was a gel or cream. I am really loving this soap!
If you have skin that needs to be cleared up, this is totally worth a try!

Perfect Portions Digital Scale + Nutrition Facts Display {A Review}
You see I have a major weight complex. I grew up with an amazing Mother whom I was so, so, so blessed to have. But she was over weight. fat. obese. It makes my stomach tie in knots just typing those words out. I never wanted anyone to focus on just her weight, she was so much more in life then being bigger. And then there was me. She always made me feel so proud to be skinny. My entire identity was wrapped up in being the cute skinny one. She would always tell people...
" Yes, that's my daughter, the skinny one." and she would just beam saying it. It made me so proud to be her 'skinny' daughter. But I never realized how much of me was about being the skinny daughter until I was no longer skinny. Until I was no longer young, cute, and thin.
I do have some health issues that might be a factor in my weight gain and I have had 3 beautiful babies but the truth is, I never worried about my weight and health before now; I didn't think there was no need to, I was still thin. So now I am learning perfect portions, how much of each thing I should be eating because - even to much of a healthy thing can be unhealthy.
The scale is extremely easy to keep clean, which in my house anything kept clean is nothing short of a miracle! The entire top surface including keypad is a sheet of glass. There are no indentations to trap food or germs. The code book is printed on good quality stock and coated so it is quite resistant to soiling, which I became aware of when I kept looking through it with dirty fingers from cooking!
This scale comes in 5 different colors: red, blue, silver, black and white. I received the silver scale for my review. The scale has a total of 1999 foods stored in memory- AND you can add up to 99 of your own foods!! How awesome is that?! That is crazy impressive to me! But then again I am like a 90 year old Alzheimer patient when it comes to memory! So half that would have impressed me! HAHA
There is also the added befit that if you happen to be diabetic, this scale can save these totals; so it is an excellent solution for diabetics.
It comes in handy with someone like my husband who has had to have stomach surgery due to an ulcer and has to watch the amount he eats along with what he eats.
This scale has come in handy more often then I thought it would honestly. We are using it every day now for every meal. It has helped us figure out how much is in each meal and how much to give each person on their plate.
We want to teach our children that healthy habits now lead to healthy habits later, and this scale has been a great tool for doing so.

Deep Cleansing Facial Oil
When you think of cleaning your face, do you think of doing it with oil? Or does the thought of oil make you shutter, the thought of your face breaking out in a million zits and looking like high school all over again? Well, it might not have been y our thoughts but it sure was mine. I thought "How the heck can OIL CLEAN my face!?"
The oil that Insta-natural sent me is amazing when it come to taking off my make-up. It takes off my eye makeup so easily that just a simple couple of swipes is all it takes. I just put a tiny amount on a cotton square and BAM all gone! Even my mascara, which is no thing short of a small miceral to be honest. I have started using Cover Girl's Bombshell mascara and although I LOVE the way it looks it's like dried up concrete trying to get it off of my lashes at night. And this cleansing oil does the trick every time without pulling all my lashes out in the process! Win / win for me!
Because my skin does tend to freak out at even the thought of oil, I use this cleaner to take off my make up and then I wash my face with a sea salt acne medicated bar of soap. This may not be the case for you though.
I would buy this just as a make-up remover! It's that awesome!

IPhone 5 Armband
I am NOT a runner..........
I like the thought of being one of those cute, bouncy, runners- someone doing 5ks and killing it. But my knees and all the problems that they have scream at me in pain at just the thought of running even a block. They would turn into knees the size of grapefruits.
I love going to the gym, but it doesn't happen nearly as much as it should. BUT I have this amazing work out partner She keeps me on point and on track and she kicks my butt when I need it. And it helps that she lost the weight that I cam currently trying my darnest to lose, so she understand the daily battle that I face. But there are days that we don't work out together- with kids, work, husbands, houses to run, etc. things sometimes pile up and a work out together just doesn't fit into the hours we have in our days.
The days that this happens I work out at home normally at night {because it's the only time I can do it kid free} and although I like the music that is on my work out video some times I just want my own. I don't need to hear the instructions after all this time working out to it, I know it pretty much by heart and just follow the movements- which are dance movements. And trying to do these dance movements, sweating my butt off { or at least I hope I am!}, and holding my phone so I can use it with my ear buds doesn't work out all that well.... In fact it doesn't work out at all.
Ever since I got the armband to try, life during my workouts has been easier! I can turn my phone to my work out set, plug in my ear buds, slip it into the case and go! I love it!
Even though my arms are on the bigger side {with any luck, hard work, and prayer not for long!} this arm band stay put, it doesn't cut into my arm either. It's just plain comphy which is awesome. I don't worry about my ear bud cord not being long enough, my phone coming out of my pocket, or dropping it. Since I know that with this armband it's not going anywhere. And I don't have to worry about sweating my phone in to a black hole of death either. Since the phone is totally encased in the armband I don't get it all sweaty! And when I do take Max {the toddler} out for a walk I can slip in my house key into the special pocket, made just for that- your key- and go.
This is a great buy, it works well and it's made well so that it will last.
