Kiss Everlasting French Manicure

I am not usually one to put on fake nails but since Influenster sent these to me of course I gave it a shot!  It was a little awkward at first but once I got a couple on it got easier.  I suggest putting your thumbs on last!  The real trick is to figure out how much glue you need.  Not too much that it oozes out and sticks your fingers together (which I did a few times) and not too little or you will get air bubbles.

Even though I consider myself a novice at this I still was pleased with the result.  I put them on Friday night and went to a party that weekend and received several compliments on them.  One of my friends asked if they were my real nails!  A few of them popped off on Monday but that could have been user error and not enough glue because a few of them really didn't want to come off!

 I think that for a special event this is the perfect way to save money and avoid going to the salon for a full set of nails!

CatchyClips Review + Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

CatchyClips™ are designed to clip to the inside of your handbag for easy access.  You decide how to use your magnetic CatchyClip™.  Perhaps to secure your keys to one spot in your purse; as a card organizer for your store cards, gift cards, library card and maybe even credit cards; or to fasten any important item to the inside of your purse, backpack or briefcase so you can easily find it.

Key Clip - Attach your keys to the Gem Top, and clip the other half of the magnet inside your purse with the attached "alligator" clip. The strong magnet holds your key chain in place right where you can find it. Just gently pull to remove it from the clip. When you're done just reach back in and it clicks right back on the magnet! Always accessible right at your fingertips! No more searching!!!

Card Clip - Organize your store reward cards, and gift cards (and even your credit cards if you want to!) so there's no more digging in your pocketbook, or forgetting to use your gift cards! Just add your mini-cards, or even full size cards, to the ring and you'll always be able to find the one you need. After punching a hole in each full size card (single hole punch sold separately on our site if you need one),your cards can be grouped, using the separators that are included, so they are categorized by store card/gift card/credit card to make them easy to find when you're at the checkout. You don't even have to remove them from the ring to swipe them! And, again, the Gem Top on the ring will magnetically attach inside your purse where you've clipped the magnet. You'll love the convenience!

No more fumbling through the mess to find what you're looking for.  The easy grab magnet will keep the things you use the most right at your fingertips.

You can't get more organized than this!!

You can buy your own CatchyClips™ for $10 or 3 for $25 right from their site.  Don't forget to follow CatchyClips™ on Facebook!

Adovia Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

This is the third product from Adovia that I have had the chance to review and it lives up to the other two! A while back I reviewed Adovia's Dead Sea Mud Mask and I just recently reviewed Adovia's Dead Sea Mud Shampoo and this is the perfect companion to it.

Unlike the shampoo, Adovia's Dead Sea Salt Conditioner is a creamy white color but has the same scent.  It's thick and doesn't slip off your hand like the shampoo does if you are not careful.  This conditioner left my hair feeling very soft and didn't weigh it down at all.  I tend to have oily hair so I really only use conditioner to detangle and this did that perfectly.  Like I said in the shampoo review, I have a very sensitive scalp but this didn't effect it at all.

Some info from the company:

• Made with Real Dead Sea Salt - 100% Pure and Genuine for an infusion of 21 Minerals Essential to Proper Skin and Hair Function.
• Leaves Hair Looking Hydrated, Healthy and Silky.
• Helps to Reduce the appearance of Dandruff and Dry, Flaky Scalp.
• Aloe Vera Deeply Nourishes the Scalp and Hair - Hydrating it from Within.
• Dead Sea Salt contains more than 21 skin and hair rebuilding minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sulfur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc and potassium.

Gold Elements Nail Care - Supreme Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Golden Nail Kit - Supreme - A Stimulating Beauty Treatment For Your Nails

I love taking care of my nails.  I am constantly trying new products to help keep them looking nice whether it's a new nail polish or cuticle pusher.  I was very excited to hear back from Gold Elements that I was chosen to review their Golden Nail Kit.  Since the warmer weather has come to NY I have been doing a lot of yard work and gardening and my hands and nails have taken a beating.  This is the perfect way to pamper and revitalize your nail health.  No one will know they have been working in the dirt!
The Golden Nail Kit contains:

1. Hand and Nail Cream:  A gentle, protective and soothing hand cream to protect your skin.
2. Cuticle Oil:  Deeply soothe, moisturize and nourish the cuticles. Ideal when buffing your nails, your cuticles will be softer and your nails stronger looking.
3. Nail File:  To smooth away rough nail edges and shape your nail faster and easier.
4. Buffing Block:  A fantastic buffer which grants a beautiful gleam to your nails and assists in stimulating the blood circulation underneath your nails, which encourages healthy growth.

The hand cream is rich and has a wonderful scent.  It is more of a floral scent that is not over powering and smells expensive.  I normally don't buff my nails since it actually prevents a good bond when I use gel polish but since I'm not using that right now I buffed away.  It was a quick and easy way to bring some life to my dull nails and the oil really hydrated my cuticles which they desperately needed.  I think you can tell a difference in the above picture.  My nails almost look like they have clear polish on now and my cuticles look like I've had a manicure but I haven't!  I think I'll be keeping this set in my desk at work to use on my lunch break occasionally for a quick spruce up!

Number One Nutrition Probiotic Supplement

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Being healthy and happy about your body is a matter of choice.

What are probiotics?
Probiotics are good bacteria who perform a very important role in our digestive, methabolic and immune systems. They produce enzymes that break down the food we eat, regulate vitamins intake and convert sugars to the essential nutrients our bodies need.  Our GI is home to 80% of our immune system!  That´s why it is so important to take a good probiotic supplement!

I started taking a daily probiotic this past winter after I got a really bad virus.  My mother has been taking them for a while now and swears that it helps keep her heathier so I figured that she might really be onto something.  I have not been sick since!  In fact just last week I started to feel a little run down and a sore throat started to come on.  I started taking two capsules that day and did for the next few days and the sore throat went away and my energy came back!!  I am hooked and I tell everyone I can about taking a daily probiotic!  I even have my son taking a chewable probiotic every day to keep him healthy!

This is how the Number One Probiotic may help you:

• Drastically improve your digestive health.
• Balance your intestinal flora.
• Improve your mood.
• Break down allergy causing proteins.
• Accelerate your fat loss.

Rainbow Bandz Organiziation Box Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

The Rainbow Bandz Organiziation Box is a clear plastic organizer case for rainbow loom and rubber bands with adjustable compartments. It has plenty of room to fit the rainbow loom kit and other connectors.

Each compartment is 2 inches wide x 1.9 inches deep and is 13 1/2 inches long in maximum.  The compartments are adjustable just by simply sliding the dividers out of the slots.  I created two larger areas for the black and white bands since I had the most of those colors and was able to have one compartment for the c and s clips and one very large section that fits my whole loom.

The only downside is that the dividers are somewhat flimsy so you just have to be careful not to bump them out of the grooves.  Otherwise this is a great way to store your bands without them getting mixed up.

You can buy your own Rainbow Bandz Organiziation Box on Amazon for $9.99

Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment Giveaway - Second Chance!!

Welcome to the Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment Giveaway!

Sponsored by: Apothederm

Hosted by: The Frugal Mrs. Jones

I'm sure you all remember recently I had the chance to review Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment and liked it.  Here is your second chance to win your very own bottle and have clearer skin!

Jessica from The Frugal Mrs. Jones received a bottle of Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment to test out and review. She's always had trouble with acne and hoped that this was finally the solution she has been looking for. GOOD NEWS! After using the product for two weeks, she has noticed an incredible change. Her acne has lessened and her acne scars have lightened! Her face is also less oily since she started using the treatment. It's really simple to use and only takes a few seconds. Jessica just puts some on a cotton ball and rubs it all over her face twice a day (once in the morning and once at night). It doesn't burn or leave a weird residue on your face. It basically sinks into your skin and you don't even know it's there, working on your problem areas! Basic reasons for using this:

• Salicylic acid, an anti-inflammatory ingredient, exfoliates dead skin cells
• Glycerin is a humectant that draws moisture to skin
• Lightweight and fast absorbing
• Minimizes pore size
• Keeps skin balanced

You can find it on Amazon here (they have great reviews). OR, you can enter to win one below using the giveaway tools! The giveaway will run from 5/31 - 6/14. Good luck!

Adovia's Dead Sea Mud Shampoo Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Adovia's Dead Sea Mud Shampoo is specially formulated with natural ingredients such as Dead Sea Mud, Chamomile & Olive Oil to bring deep hydration and moisture to the scalp, relieving itching and flakiness.  Dead Sea Mud has been known for centuries for it's healing properties and people travel from all over the world to come and experience it's effects at the Dead Sea.  I recently reviewed Adovia's Dead Sea Mud Mask and like it so I was excited when I had the chance to review another product form Adovia.

Dead Sea Salts and Mud have been featured on CNN, in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times.  Dead Sea Mud contains the highest concentration of minerals found in mud anywhere in the world.  Finally the benefits of Dead Sea mud and salt are presented to you in shampoo form!  These minerals are all essential for proper skin function and help to regulate moisture retention as well as hydration.

I have been using Adovia's Dead Sea Mud Shampoo for a few weeks now and have
been happy with the results.  I have a very sensitive scalp and usually have to be very careful with what I use because I will have issues.  I had been using a new process for washing my hair but abandoned that to try this out.  This shampoo is very rich in feel and in smell.  The dark gray shampoo works into a very thick lather so don't squeeze out too much!  I only needed about a quarter size dollop for my shoulder length hair.  The first few times I used it without conditioner and my hair was tangled but not terrible.  I find that it is better when used with a small amount of conditioner just at the ends to help get the tangles out.

You can get your own bottle of Adovia's Dead Sea Mud Shampoo from Amazon with free shipping for $28.00.  I know that seems a lot for a small bottle of shampoo but this stuff will last you a long time since you need such a small amount.

I have also been trying out one of their conditioners so stay tuned for a review of that too!

WooBamboo Kid's Eco Toothbrush Review + Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

The Bamboo "Sprout" from WooBamboo is an eco-friendly bamboo-handled children's toothbrush. They believe that big changes can be made with small, innovative steps.  Using a WooBamboo toothbrush (they  have adult versions, as well) is a fantastic way to make a small difference every day, and helps inspire people to continue to make eco-friendly changes.

Now my little guy loves toothbrushes and I am not complaining about that!  He must have about 4 to choose from each night so I knew as soon as I applied to review these he would be excited to try them out.  I could not get these open fast enough for him.  I even had a hard time taking these pictures because I had to fight him off!  The packaging was very easy to open the paper backing separated from the plastic nicely so I could just toss both in the recycle.

These are light weight are the perfect size for little hands.  The bristles are soft and come to a slight point at the end which is good for reaching the back teeth.  We already had a timer so I put on some of his Earth Paste and let him go to town!

You can buy a 2 pack of Sprout tooth brushes from WooBamboo on Amazon for $6.95.

Here is your chance to win a young person in your life their very own WooBamboo toothbrushes!

Good Luck!
