Xtava Spiral Curler

Lets talk curls! I have tried everything from a traditional curler to the Instyler Tulip. Nothing seems to make and hold curls like the Xtava Spiral curler! Achieve perfectly symmetric curls every time with the Xtava Curlz spiral guide. Never again will you forget to turn off your Curler with the LED button indicating the device is on. The xtava curlz handle is made of high quality insulation materials designed for safety. The secure hold clip guarantees the perfect curl as it locks your hair in place. 360 Degree rotating swivel cord allowing complete freedom of movement.

  I have extremely thick hair that never wants to hold curls, even when I use a ton of hairspray. I'm lucky to hold curls for an hour. With the Xtava Spiral Curler it starts curling with in 30 seconds but I recommend at lease 60 seconds for a nice firm curl. When you clip in your hair its like it knows where to go. It simply and easily guides your hair in place. My curls stayed on their own with no hairspray and lasted for hours!

 I also like the "safe guard" (what guides your hair) it doesn't get very hot. I even left it pressed against my skin while curling with no burns or hurting. All in all I am very impressed. This curler comes in three color choices, pink, blue and orange. It is currently on sale for $19.99.

Yoga Obsessed -Yoga Design Lab

Yes I am completely and utterly Yoga obsessed! I m told the first step is admitting I have a problem! My house is almost overwhelmed with yoga everything! I have tried a ton of different mats most of them cause slipping or just fall apart after a month or so. I am always looking for a mat that will keep up with me. I do my yoga routine twice daily at home and 8 times a month at the gym. Finding a good mat is crucial.


When I was asked to test the Yoga Design Lab Premium Yoga Mat with Carrying Strap I was super excited! When it came in the mail I was like a giddy child on Christmas morning! The Yoga Design Lab Mat is made memory foam. Which allows the mat to be light weight and non-slip. Did I mention this mat is Eco Friendly and Free of Phthalates, Latex, metals, harmful toxins, and SGS Approved and Odorless!

I love the feel of the mat under my feet. It is very soft and the grooves within the mat allow me to stand firm on place with out slipping or falling. The color is mutual so can be used for men or women. I love the car strap. It makes it easy to pick up and take with me no matter where I go! This is the only Yoga mat I will use and recommend!

Skin Protecting Awesomeness

I le down south in Alabama and it can be horribly hot. With heat comes the sun with the sun comes harmful rays that damage your skin or worse causes skin cancer. For that reason I am always long for a good sunscreen. Most can be SPF 50 but can come off easily in the pool or rain. What good is it to have a SPF of 50+ that washes off?

 Even in October we tend to spend most of our weekends by the pool. (Yes it still gets to be 90 degrees out side!) With children at any age we are always trying to keep them out of the sun or lather them up in sunscreen. I always try to sick with a sunscreen with SPF 25 or higher.

With the Beauty by Earth Sunscreen it is thick but not to thick ,it smells great and most of all it stays on! It s a white creamy sunscreen with SPF 25. It is water resistant, biodegradable, and reef safe. The Beauty by Earth sunscreen is natural and contains No Parabens, No Paba, No Nano-Particles, No Oxybenzone, No Retinyl Palmitate, No Toxic Chemicals, No Chemical Fragrnce and No Phalates. You should apply every 45 to 60 minutes.

I adore this sunscreen. I use it every chance I get. I recommend this to every mother I run into. If you would like to buy pick up the Beauty by Earth Sunscreen you can do so on Amazon for $13.99 with free shipping for Prime members.
I was able to give this product away to Erin Fesperman at one of our #UANB twitter parties.

MultiPurpose Rosehip Seed Oil

Ever want one product that takes care of multiple issues? Well I found one!  InstaNaturals has a wonderful Organic product made of 100% Rosehip Seed Oil. It is to take care of stretch marks, diminish scars, moisturize your face and skin, and nourish your hair and nails.

I like to use this on my legs as a moisturizer. My skin stays smooth ad hydrated for over 24 hours. My legs never feel greasy. I also use the Rosehip seed oil as a cuticle oil. I am constantly getting my nails done and my cuticles get very dried out. This helps to keep them looking fresh and healthy. I mainly use it to retain moisture in my hair. I have very dried out ends from dyeing and straightening my hair. InstaNaturals Rosehip Seed Oil helps to keep my hair hydrated, smooth and shiny.

What I like most about this product is that it is 100% organic and only has one ingredient - Pure certified organic Rosehip Seed Oil. Yep that is all this bottle contains.

 I am obsessed with InstaNatural products and am very pleased with every thing they produce. If you have not tried any of their products yet please check out their website and their amazon page.

PhantomFit Resistance Loop Bands

As most of you know I am pretty adamant abut staying fit. Every morning I get up at 4:30 in the and start with my Yoga routine. I am pretty happy with my routine but some days I only want to concentrate on my muscle strength. That is where the PhantomFit Resistance Loop Bands come in handy.

These little bands are so easy to use and are color coordinated on strength. Red is the lowest strength, black being the strongest. I love the fact that I can sit at my computer desk and use these bands with ease without disrupting my daily routine.

My entire family (even the boys) uses these bands. You can use them to add strength to your arms and legs. I feel these band would be great for those that have had medical issues to where their  muscle strength is not where it should be. The PhantomFit bands could help to gradually get the muscle stength back up without having to put much strain on the body.

All in all I am very pleased with this product and he company. I will continue to use PhantomFit products and hope you will give them a try as well!

August Pet box review!

   Let me first start by saying how impressed I am by the company and this box of goodies! The Social Media Manager I speak with (Dusty Goen) is always courteous and extremely helpful. The boxes are always jam packed with goodies and healthy treats for your fur babies! They really take the time to seek out that perfect item for each and every box!

    When I started to open the box to see all of the wonderful goodies our newest  member of the family  Maria was all over the box! She could smell the yumminess from with in!

  The First item she found was the BarkWorthies Long Curly Bully Stick. That she absolutely loved! She must have known it was in there. At least I know he sniffer works LOL. She refused to let me see it. She stole it right out of the box and started to chew away! Every time I tried to grab it she would pick it up and run dragging it behind her. It was so cute because the bone was so much bigger than she is. Needless to say she ate the entire bone in one day!

  The next item we found was this adorable Pawtastic fleece braided toy. Maria loves to play Tug-A-War with it. Her and our other dog Honey will play with this thing together for hours on end. Every time I try to get pictures of them playing with it together they drop it. Like they know exactly what I am doing and want no part in it. Dogs are just to smart for their own good. Even though they fight vigorously over this adorable toy it has not torn , ripped or broke in any way. It is strong and durable. It is still in the same shape and condition as when we first received it, even though they play with it multiple times a day. This is a must have for any active dog who loves to play.

The next item in the box was my favorite! It was a  TropiClean Fresh Breath Water additive. You pour one capful into your pet's water bowl every time you give them fresh water. It helps to prevent puppy breath or bad breath in cats and dogs. It also addresses plaque and tartar build up. It is to last 12 hours and freshens breath with natural green tea. This additive works wonderfully!  Maria is a 4 month old puppy and has horrible puppy breath! I just slip a cap full of this into her water bowl and it helps tremendously! It has a slight minty smell to it. This how ever does not stop her from drinking her water she actually seems to like it. Drinks it up with no problems! Along with this water additive was a fresh breath bone and a coupon for $2.00 off my next purchase. The best thing about the bone is it is Wheat free, Gluten free and most of all Corn free. The bone was just the right size for Maria and boy did she love chewing on it! It helps to clean plaque and tarter build up off your pups teeth and it helped Maria with her doggy teething.

 

Next up was the It's Purely Natural Chicken Jerky treats made by Loving Pets.   Honey and Maria absolutely adore these treats. They smell amazing almost human edible LOL. I love the fact that they are gluten free, glycerin free, soy free and wheat free. They are also 100% natural and contain 6 ingredients (Brown rice flour, Honey, Garlic, Sea salt, and preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Rosemary). I have not come across any other dog treat with only 6 ingredients. They have absolutely no fillers, additives or by-products. Which is extremely healthy for your fur baby! Both of my pups love them. They know when I grab the bag they are in for a treat and I know I am feeding my pet a healthy snack!  As you can see Maria did not want to wait for the photo to be over in order to get her treat!

                                      

 

 

 

 

The next item we found was the Alcott Essential Adventure Bowl. I thought this was the neatest thing and would definitely come in handy! We love to go on hikes and mini adventures into our state parks and love taking the dogs but providing them with a substantial way to drink or eat can become frustrating at times. With the Alcott adventure bowl this is no longer and issue! It fold to fit in any bag or purse. When opened fully it can hold 6 cups of dog food or 50oz of water.  The inner lining is leak proof for up to 24 hours! You can "snap" many bowl together for easy feeding and watering. Instead of waiting until they are finished eating to be able to give them water. I find this little contraption to be very handy and easy to use. The pups do not mind eating or drinking out of it and I have put the 24 hour leak proof warning up to a challenge and it held for over 24 hours I ended up tossing the water as about the 32 hour mark with absolutely no leaks! Definitely a great product to have on hand!

                                       

 

 

Last but certainly not least is the BePawsitive Pizza Party Oven Baked Dog Biscuits! I have to say that these seriously smell just like a peperoni pizza! The dogs love them and gobble them up in seconds! I love them because they are USDA certified organic and made in the USA.  Every ingredient used to make these dog treats is organic which is safer and healthier for your fur friend. They also have a Monthly Treat Box  and every time you buy a monthly subscription they donate a treat box to a animal shelter in need. So buy feeding your pup delicious healthy snacks you are also helping dogs in animal rescue shelters.

                                    

Needless to say the August Media Pet Box was packaged nicely and was not damaged in any way during the shipment. I am very pleased with this box and feel it is well worth the monthly price and then some! The company does a fine job picking and choosing the right products for your fur baby. They have a snack box ($9.95) , a Deluxe box ($19.95) and a Premium box ($39.95) you can find them here.  Free shipping is always included. They always have offers for new members with discount codes and or a free box!

Once you decide to get a Pet Box and after choosing your plan you will answer a few questions so that they can customize your box to your pet. They do have a cat box as well as the dog box. They do ask if your pet is a male or female. You also have the choice to choose your items or be surprised. I do recommend this monthly subscription to all pet owners! It is a great way to try and experience new products you wouldn't normally buy with out trying first.
Be sure to check out the Pet Box Website for more information and do not forget to "like" them on their Facebook Fan Page.

 

 

OzerI WeightMaster Review

  I was asked to test out the Ozeri WeightMaster. I was very excited to try this little guy because it keeps track of your weight. You are to put in four different users. Every time you go to your programmed spot and weigh yourself  it will let you know if you have gained or lost weight. I thought this concept was pretty cool.

  It can be difficult to keep track of weight loss or gain on your own. I thought this Weight machine would be helpful for my son who is a boxer.  I was able to turn it on and program myself adding in my height, I then stepped on the scale and it had told me my weight. I played with this machine all week long to see how often my weight fluctuates. I have not had a problem with the weight machine. I love how it glows red or green when loosing or gaining weight.

  With my son boxing it can be hard to keep track of is weight. One wee he will need to gain weight the next he will need to maintain it. With the Ozeri WeightMaster it is easy to keep track of how he is doing. All of us use this weight machine and are very pleased with it.
