WANJIA HANDHELD GARMENT AND FACIAL STEAMER

I was so excited to get to try the WANJIA HANDHELD GARMENT AND FACIAL STEAMER. I do not iron, ever. Who has time for that? This little gadget was so much quicker and gave me better results. I also found that adding a little essential oil to my water made my clothing smell amazing.

This product comes with the steamer, 2 attachments and instructions. The instructions are easy to follow, but make sure you read them. That is very important as I found out first hand. Only fill the water tank to 200 ml, anything more and it will bubble out. Plug it in and set it on the setting you want to use. Ironing? Set it on that. Facial? Set it on that. Give it two minutes to heat up and you are ready to roll. You will see it bubbling inside the tank. It does get hot.

I was able to steam about 6 items before my tank ran out. But I did a thorough steaming. It removed all the wrinkles from my child's clothing as well as my dress. Once I was done, I simply emptied the tank and I turned it upside down in my drainer in order to let it dry. You probably do not have to do that but I did.

Pros:

Heats up very quickly.

Easy to use

Portable, for home or travel

Removes wrinkles

Gives awesome facials

Cons:

None, unless you do not follow the instructions, haha.

This is probably my favorite product of 2016. Like I said I do not iron. I also needed a product for giving myself a facial. You simply set it on the facial setting and let it heat up, again 2 minutes. It does not get as hot as the ironing option but I would not put my face to close to the nozzle. Again, do not fill beyond the 200 ml line. I saw a review of this product and she did not follow instructions therefore giving the product a bad review. I know this because I did not follow the instructions when I first set up the product and the same thing happened to me. IMPORTANT: Do not fill beyond the 200 ml line.

In ending, this product is amazing and I love it. I would recommend this product for everyone. Men, women, college kids and pretty much any mature person that can follow simple directions. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

THE WOLF ROAD by BETH LEWIS

Okay, you guys know me, I have a hard time giving out information as to the plot of a book for fear of giving it away. With that being said, this book was actually very surprising for me. It was listed in the science fiction genre so I was hesitant. I requested it anyway and gave it a shot. I was impressed.

The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world and follows Elka who ends up on her own. She is found by Trapper, a survivalist who takes her in and teaches her to take care of herself. She sets off on a journey to find her parents while Trapper follows her in an effort to kill her.

This book was thrilling to read. I found it full of twists and turns and I hated to put it down at the end of the day. The characters that Elka meets along her journey made this book one of my favorites.

I normally do not read very many thrillers of this nature. But I really enjoyed this one. I kept my totally enthralled and I enjoyed it. I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for a honest review.

MAYBERRY KONJAC SPONGE WITH BAMBOO CHARCOAL AND GREEN TEA

2 PACK

I have a new product addiction, a naturally moisture rich plant fiber sponge that balances the acidity of the skins oils and impurities. Introducing Konjac Facial Sponges.

Used by the Japanese for years, “Amorphophallus Konjac” the Konjac Potato is a perennial plant, native to Asia with wild forms growing naturally in many parts of China, Korea & Japan.  Frequently growing wild at high altitudes, thus being pure and pollutant free.  It was originally introduced to Japan as a medicine in the sixth century as it was recognized for its health giving properties.  But, for over a century, the Japanese have been using the konjac vegetable as a beauty treatment for their delicate skin.
The Konjac Sponge, made entirely from the root of the the Konjac Potato, it contains fibers that are by nature alkaline, and thus balances the skin’s natural acidity. These fibers are packed with nutrients. Including: Iron, phosphorus, copper, zinc, vitamins A, E and D, “B” vitamins 1, 2, 6 and 12, vitamin C and folic acid.

I have been using Konjac sponges for several months now and I seriously love them. They have become my favorite way of exfoliating and cleansing. Here is how I use them:

Before use, wet the sponge in warm water.

Gently massage the face and body in circular motion all over, to exfoliate dead skin cells, and deeply cleanse. Massaging will stimulate dead, tired skin and encourage skin renewal. Your favorite cleanser can be added but is not required. Also, by using this sponge, if you do decided to use a cleanser, do not use as much cleanser. You will love this as it is going to save you a ton of money in the long run.

Keep your sponge clean and hang it to dry. I made the mistake of leaving it laying on the side of the tub, not this one, but another one. It became jellied and nasty after a few days.

I started using these sponges after I had gotten sun burnt at our pool. I had started to peel and it was very irritating. After one use the dead skin had diminished. I have continued to use this sponge and my skin looks so much better.

I am also using this product on my face. My pores are shrinking because my face is so much cleaner. My face is blemish free and baby soft. Exfoliating has never felt so good. I love the feel of these sponges against my face. They are like a jelly once they are wet. I am also using a little dab of my favorite cleanser after the initial testing.

FOR ALL SKIN TYPES

This product is made with 100% Natural Bamboo Charcoal and Green Tea so it is perfect for exfoliating and cleansing.

REMOVES IMPURITIES AND REDUCES BLEMISHES

These Charcoal and Green Tea Body Sponges were created from konjac root fibers that work to eliminate impurities

REVITALIZES THE FEEL AND APPEARANCE OF SKIN

Bamboo charcoal promotes replenishment of skin cells and encourages nutrient infusion. Green tea helps prevent against sun damage, counteracts signs of aging and decreases inflammation.

SOFT AND NATURAL 100% NATURAL BODY SPONGE

This product is soft when wet and can be used on all skin types. They are earth friendly and can be composted after use. It is biodegradable and free of toxins, pollutants and artificial additives.

BENEFITS OF ADDING BAMBOO CHARCOAL AND GREEN TEA

- Bamboo Charcoal has high absorption qualities and removes excess oil from the skin while helping to regulate moisture.

- Green Tea is well-known for its ability to protect against sun damage and counteract signs of aging.

- Bamboo Charcoal and Green Tea eliminate impurities and remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from the face.

In ending, I have to say that these are my favorite Konjac Sponges. I feel confident that my face is as clean as it can be and it is the safest way to cleanse and exfoliate. All the other companies can boast that their product is better but I have to disagree. These are amazing as well as affordable. You can find this product on Amazon.

DEL ORGANICS ALL-IN-ONE SERUM

DEL ORGANICS ALL-IN-ONE SERUM

I was absolutely thrilled to be chosen to review this organic product made by DEL ORGANICS.  I have become a huge lover of organic products and I am always looking for products that actually do what they claim to do.

I have been using this product for a few weeks now and I have been very happy with it. It comes in a gorgeous brown bottle with a lovely label. It is dispensed via a dropper and I love that you can control the amount. Droppers work much better than any other method that I have found.

The color of this serum is orange and gives your skin a nice glow after you apply it.

It has a very subtle, pleasant scent. I have not been able to place the scent as of yet. A friend of mine said citrus. But it just doesn't smell citrusy to me.

I was using this product at night before I went to bed. I have changed that however due to the lovely glow that it gives my skin. I have had many compliments on my skin tone due to this product.

I wanted to try this product to see how it helped with preventing wrinkles and blemishes. But after a few trips to the pool I remembered that the sun does funny things to my skin. I have always experienced redness known as rosacea. Thanks for the reminder Mr. Sun.

Since I have started using this product I have noticed a huge difference in the redness that I normally get every year. It is diminishing and that is a huge factor for me. I have never found a product that would actually help me to prevent the redness associated with rosacea. It also helped it to be less noticeable after it occurred.

The fact that this product is organic and blended and bottled in the USA makes me even more pleased with this serum. I would recommend this product to anyone that has problems with blemishes, redness or wrinkles. It truly is an All-In-One product that is affordable. I did receive this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

"GOD BLESS AMERICA" A Patriotic Coloring Book

"GOD BLESS AMERICA" A Patriotic Coloring Book

Unlike a lot of people, I prefer adult coloring books that actually tell a story. This coloring book contains not only pages to color but quotes from famous people as well as scriptures from the Bible. This book offers you some history behind this great nation.

This coloring book is something that I can use to teach my child about the history of the United States.

Some of the uncolored pages of this coloring book are absolutely gorgeous. They just need a little color to make them even more so.

I prefer color pencils to color the inside pages. But the outside pages will be done with gel pens. As you can see in the picture above, it has already been started and gives you an idea as to how beautiful this will turn out when you are done. The back cover hasn't been touched.

The pages have the ability of being removed from the book. This is not an option I will use however. For me this is something that I intend on coloring with my child and saving for years. I guess you could say this will be a memento of times we spent together.

I received this book complimentary for testing and review purposes. You can find this coloring book on Amazon.

The Never Open Desert Diner by James Anderson

GREAT READ

Ben Jones, is an independent truck driver along Highway 117. It is a very lonely highway that is well known to Ben as he travels it daily.  He loves his job and his customers who are very clever and interesting characters. I personally found the birthday incident one of my favorite parts of the book. He meets Claire who has taken refuge in a house in the area with her cello. From the moment he sees her he is taken with her. But she is running from something, and that will put them both in danger. I am not going to delve any deeper into the plot of this novel as I hate spoilers. 

This is James Andersons first novel and I found it very interesting. It was not one of those books that I just couldn't put down. But I enjoyed picking it up and reading whenever I had time. This book was written in a very straightforward easy to understand lingo that I loved. 

I will definitely add this book to my shelves. It is a book I will enjoy reading again. You can find a copy on Amazon. I received this novel complimentary for my honest and unbiased review and all opinions are my own.

CLIGANIC INSECT REPELLENT BAND

Just in time for Summer

I have been needing to review this product for a few weeks but we had not seen any mosquitos until yesterday. I sent my 6-year-old out to play and he came in with mosquitos bites. So I broke out the Cliganic Insect Repellent Bands. 

These are 100% Natural, Safe and Deet Free, made of a special blend of non-toxic natural essential plant oils: Geraniol Oil, Lemongrass Oil, and Citronella Oil. 

One size fits all, these are really stretchy and I was able to wear them as well as my child. 

These offer 250 hours of protection. When we were done playing outside I simply put them back in their foil pouches and sealed them back up.

These are not intended for children under the age of 3. Maybe because children that age like to put things in their mouth. 

These repellent bands are waterproof so you can wear them to parks, water parks, beaches, camping, hiking. Anywhere you think you might be attacked by those pesky insects. 

Cliganic offers you a 100% satisfaction guarantee, Risk Free. If you are not happy with the product they will replace it or refund your money. Win, win

This is my child and this is the way he dresses most always unless we are going somewhere. He only ever puts clothes on because I make him, haha. However, around the house he is fine. He was in the backyard and came to me because he was itchy and something kept biting him. So, I got the Cliganic Insect Repellent Bands out and placed one on him. These come in all different colors to appease the pickiest child or adult. 

Of course, he could not leave it alone because he is a boy and he has to pick at everything. But I managed to keep it on him for about 3 hours while he was outdoors. He had no more mosquito bites when he came in. 

With all of the mosquito born diseases out there, we need something to help protect our children. Yes, there are products on the market that can help us achieve that. But do you ever get tired of re-applying products on your child? Does your child have allergies? My child does so I have to be very cautious when it comes to these types of products. 

So in ending, I have to say that we love these and will be using them all Summer. 

With all the mosquito-borne diseases that are around today. I feel great about my child being protected.

These are Non-Toxic and Kid Safe. Wear them around your wrist or ankle. The scent associated with these smell like citronella. The scent is noticeable but not very strong. If you guys would like to check out the product, you can find them on Amazon.

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
