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.

You can find this product on Amazon

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

- 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.
