LIFE WIPES




I  always need wipes and have been using baby wipes while hiking/camping or when we are on the go. I have a 6 year old and it seems we always need wipes. Napkins just do not cut it. So I was able to try these and they worked so much better for me than baby wipes.

These are so much larger than baby wipes. They are 12" by 24" and offer you more than the smaller wipes. They are very durable. I was able to use one and rinse it and then repeat.

They are pre-moistened but not so much that they drip. There is just enough moisture to keep them wet and serviceable. I love that they are individually packaged. I get so tired of fighting with the wipes that I had been using. You know where you pull one and two or three come out of the package. This was a huge plus for me.





I think what I love the most is that the packages are so small and convenient that you can pack them anywhere and not lose space. I have distributed these into my backpacks, purse, and messenger bags for quick and easy access.

These are portable, giant sized, eco friendly, hypoallergenic and vitamin e and aloe vera enriched.

They are perfect for any outdoor activity as well as dining out or quick cleanups. I would recommend these to anyone that hikes/camps, has children or anyone who works out on a regular basis. These are great for anyone. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

THE SUNLIGHT PILGRIMS by JENNI FAGAN



THE SUNLIGHT PILGRIMS by Jenni Fagan tells the story of a small Scottish caravan park living through what people believe is the end of times. People are found frozen in the street, schooling and health care are run on a voluntary basis and euthanasia has become acceptable. People are struggling to survive but life must continue. Dylan who just lost his mother and grandmother, arrives in the park one night to start all over. He meets Stella who is struggling to be accepted and her mother who he quickly realizes he is interested in.

The main focus of the story is Dylan and Constance, but do not count out Stella who stands out amongst all the fear and death. Stella is a trans teen who just wants to be accepted for who she is and is quickly becoming. A harsh winter has set in and they are calling for temperatures to be -40 and below with snow and ice. It would seem that the end of the world is near and that is all I have to say about that, haha.

I found this book to be a little boring through the first few chapters. It was really hard for me to get into. It has taken me several weeks to finish it. However, I did find the characters to be interesting and lively. Once I progressed past the first few chapters I was more interested.

I can not say this is my favorite book of all time. I was interesting and once the story unfolded I became more interested in seeing how the plot progressed. I would give this book 3 stars as I found it okay.

I received this book through blogging for books complimentary for my honest and unbiased review.

Aweoods Children Indian Story Play Tent Indoor/Outdoor Teepee



I received this awesome children's Indian play tent to review and my child loved it. I also loved it as it kept my child busy for hours outdoors as well as indoors. He even sets it in front of the television and sticks his sleeping bag in it, crawls in and watches his movies.

This product was so easy to assemble. It comes with the tepee, plastic tubing, a flag, and décor piece. The plastic tubing has a cord in the middle that makes instructions not necessary. I assembled the top piece and then added the leg pieces. It is important to note that you should stick the top piece inside the tent and add the leg pieces one at a time. Also leave each bottom portion of the leg un-attached until you add the extreme bottom piece inside the tent. It makes it so much easier. Once you have all piping in place tie the cloth strips around the piping to give it more stability and to keep the fabric in place. I then secured the Velcro strips on the front and added the flag at the top and décor piece as well. Voila, it is ready to go.




The fabric on this product seemed to be a canvas type material so I had to go look it up. It is 100% polyester fabric so it is very sturdy. I know I said a canvas type of material in my video but that is in-accurate but in my own defense it does feel like canvas. The tubing seems to be PVC or something similar.

We have been playing with this product for several weeks now and I can not stress enough how much my child loves it. Normally when I am looking for him when we are indoors I now know to look inside the tepee.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

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
- 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.
- The sponges improve moisture levels by absorbing and releasing water based on the humidity.

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.
