*Added bonus, Not only do they have a money back guarantee, they are also a cruelty free company.

"I Love My Dog Shampoo" by Lovely Fresh Review.

We've been using this dog shampoo for a few weeks now on our newest addition to our family, Gemma the Pitt Bull. She doesn't really have and skin issues but this shampoo made her smell fresh, without that overpowering scents that are usually in doggie shampoos, It's just a nice clean & fresh scent. He fur is nice, shiny and soft. She's such a beautiful dog and this just made it that much better. She still hasn't got the hang of baths yet but I can't say she minded it. I've let my in-laws borrow this shampoo for their Jack Russell, Bella. Ms. Bella does have a lot of skin issues and is allergic to so much (I really had no idea dog could be allergic to grass before) They were very please with this shampoo as well. They said she didn't dig at her skin as much and some of her bald spots were less red and irritated. Even though I did receive this bottle for free for review, I do plan on purchasing this product again in the future.Get your here. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
 Sorry about the messed up pic, my son dropped the bottle into the bath and the label peeled a little.

Dot&Dot Travel Accessories Organizer

I was very excited to be able to review the Dot & Dot organizer bags. The size I received was small (8" x 6" x 1"). I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the bags. It has a very durable zipper and a clip so you can attach it to just about anything for easy finding. Where else can you get a 4 piece travel set for less than $25? This bag is perfect for makeup or toiletries, as it is see through but it is lined so it'swaterproof.  I ended up using this for some skincare and makeup during a weekend away. The transparency of the material makes it incredibly easy to find what you are looking for and the size was perfect for what I needed! I think I might get that 4 piece set just to have around and this would be perfect gift for anyone, especially someone who travels. I know you'll love this bag as much as I do, so get yours here. I did receive this in exchange for an honest review. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

★ Small Packing Cubes ★ by Dot&Dot Review

I was so excited to get to try something that's NOT a serum or beauty related in a while. Dot & Dot sent me this 4pk of small organizing cubes and as soon as I opened them, the possibilities are endless. They are originally intended for packing for travel but they have so many other uses as  well. They would work great for travel for sure, a small cube for your "unmentionables", one for toiletries, one for your gadget chargers and accessories, and one for organizing your carry on,  or for use for a kids' pack, full of activities to keep them from getting bored and snacks. I immediately put them to use in organizing my make-up under the sink and such for quick and easy finding,. I don't have to pull out all the contents under my sink to find that one particular eyeshadow palette that I want to use for that day. The cubes themselves have a zipper that rounds 3 sides so it opens all the way, and convenient handle on the top, and see through mesh so you don't have to open them to know what's in them, as a bonus you also get a plastic zip top carrying bag, which can act as a water resistant extra bag.You can also order them in 3 other sizes for all you needs. The small size dimensions are 11"x 6.75"x 3", and in 10 different colors. Order yours here.

ProA Serum by Body Merry

I received the Pro-A Retinol serum by Body Merry for review. Always with the serums! In all seriousness, I love all skincare products. I'm creeping up on 30 and starting to get fine lines around my eyes and I MUST stop them or at least slow them down. As for the review, after 3 weeks of using their product do I still have the fine lines? Yes, but I have noticed that a dark spot on my right cheek isn't as present as before. I like the product and how easily it applies and doesn't cake under my moisturizer or makeup. It comes in an attractive little bottle with a dropper for easy application. The serum smells like green tea, and it's not overpowering. It absorbs quickly into the skin and is perfect for anyone that has sensitive skin since it's formulated with organic ingredients. Get yours here

Portable Lifeguard+ mini1 charger

I love this little charger. I drive a lot and I have a car charger so it's not a big deal for me, but my son likes to take his Ipod touch with him to play games and they eat up the battery, I just plug it into this and we never have to worry about his Ipod going dead. This product works fantastic and keeps it charged for hours and hours. Truly a lifesaver on a long trip. I would gladly recommend this product to anyone. Easy set up and easy to follow and use right out of the box Get yours here. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

InstaNatural Vitamin C Facial Toner Review

This is the first time I've had a toner for review, and a good toner is always a great thing for your skin, IF you can find one that doesn't dry out, break out, or burn your skin. I've found one, Folks! It feels amazing and comes in an convenient spray bottle! You do have to get use to spraying yourself in the face but it's a good trade off. I love the fact that InstaNatural always uses natural ingredients in their products. Every product I've ever received from the has always been top notch. It has really been a blessing to my oily / combination skin and a great addition to my morning skincare routine. WIth their all natural products it provides a gentle and refreshing mist of all natural anti aging ingredients as well as vitamin C, Witch Hazel and Tea Tree Oil. On top of that it's also 95% organic, but without the price tag, Very rarely do you see a great product that works this well, with natural and organic ingredients in skincare. 4 oz bottle for $17, the current Amazon pricing.Get yours by clicking here

Foxbrim Youthful Radiance eye cream Review


Here is the other Foxbrim product I received to review. I love that this product is also organic and has all those ingredients that I recognize and can pronounce like their moisturizer. Youthful Radiance Eye Cream has been formulated to help address anti-aging and eye concerns such as dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles. I noticed that only after 4 days of using this product, my dark circles were not as bad as before. That's huge for me, I have a teething 8 month old son and we are back to getting up twice in the night and I also work 6 days a week. My eyes seemed to be less puffy and a bit brighter. It seemed to smooth the wrinkles and fine lines at the corners and around my eyes some also. This is really creamy and feels good on the skin. Just a small amount of this cream goes a long way so this bottle should last a while. I also like the fact that it comes in a pump vs. a jar like most eye creams, you can pump out just the right amount that you need with very little product wasted. I think the pricing is fair and competitive compared to other eye creams as well at $21.95 (current Amazon pricing) I love the fact that this eye cream is organic and all natural, I always try to use organic when possible but sometimes feel that if the word organic is on the bottle that they should charge 10x's the amount for it. It has a good combination of plant-based moisturizers to soothe, hydrate and strengthen your skin. I use this under my makeup during the day and at night after I clean my face before bed. While it absorbs quickly, it leaves my skin feeling refreshed. It also didn't break me out like a lot of other products do. If you would like to try this eye cream for yourself and get rid of those circles, Click Here.

Foxbrim Complete Anti- Aging Moisturizer



OK,This is my first time trying products from Foxbrim, and I got two products to review from them the moisturizer and the youthful radiance eye cream (review for that to follow soon) !! And I must say I am pretty impressed!! when you have a product as healthy as this is, you cant go wrong with your skincare, you all know me I am all about keeping our delicate skin healthy with Natural Organic products!I can't always use organic usually because of pricing issues, but I found this to be pretty competitive among competitors pricing at just $17.95 (current Amazon pricing) I love that I can read the ingredients list and know what they are and have heard of them before. There aren't 45 letter words that are just chemicals. Some listed ingredients include; Aloe Vera, Sunflower oil, Palm oil, Vitamin E, Jojoba oil, Green tea and Shea butter. When you put all these fabulous ingredients together you have one amazing skin care cream moisturizer I've been using this moisturizer for a couple of weeks and I've really been enjoying it! This moisturizer is creamy and rich. I have combination/oily skin, and this did not make me feel too oily throughout the day. I put it on after my serum and before my primer. The product does not ball up whatsoever - instead it blends in smoothly and completely. I can't really speak to the anti-aging claims, since I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, but I really like what it's done so far. I love that it's made with all organic and natural ingredients and has a money-back guarantee. You can get yours by clicking HERE.

100% organic Raw Shea butter by Healthy life essentials Beauty by Shea

I have absolutely fallen in love with raw shea butter. I had never tried it before. It has a nice light scent and is really neat how it melts using your body heat. It goes on smoothly and evenly and Honestly ya'll, my skin has never looked more hydrated. I work outside 6 days a week/ 52 weeks a year and it takes the biggest toll on my skin. My hands are always dry and during the winter very chapped. I'm applying it directly to my skin and it stays moist all day, I can tell the difference in my hand, especially my knuckles and elbows. Myself and my kids are also always struggling with eczema and it has cleared it all up except the tiniest patch on my oldest son. I'm applying this all over now to get a head start on Winter. As a bonus, If you ever read the nasty chemical labels in your beauty products, you'll think twice about using them, with raw shea butter, you can make so much of your own skincare and you'll know exactly what's in your product and on your skin. I'm a for life customer now. If you want to see great hydrated skin and keep it all Winter long, Get yours HERE. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

Vitamin C Serum by Day by Day Beauty

OMG, Yes it's another serum. The market for these is so swamped with these miracle serums that they give away tons of them for review so their product can be the best, I try all of them for at least 3 weeks before I write my reviews, otherwise it just wouldn't be fair to each company.  Day By Day Beauty has created a nice natural product that glides on your skin easily and smoothly. It only takes a small amount to cover your face and it soaks in very quickly. It’s scent free, and full of wonderful ingredients. This product gives my skin a nice youthful radiant glow and makes my skin so soft and smooth. This product would be good for any skin type, even my sensitive skin. I do find this product helps with my fine lines around my eyes and some of the discoloration I have. It works very well on my dry spots. I always add an extra layer (thin) of this product to any dry patches I have on my face and neck. I also use it on my elbows because it works wonders for my rough dry elbows! It’s not marketed for that, but it does help a lot! I have gone between extremely oily skin to extremely dry skin, especially as the weather changes. I work outside 6 days a week 52 weeks a year, and my skin has taken a beating because of it also I'm at the age where I'm just starting to really focus on my skin since the magical age 30 is coming up just next year.  I was so frustrated with my skin and the back and forth since my pregnancies. I was looking and searching for something, anything that would shrink my pores and even out my skin without the chemicals. Overall, if you are looking for a quality Vitamin C serum, Day By Day Beauty’s Vitamin C Serum is a very good choice! It’s affordable, natural, and works beautifully! Want to try it yourself?

Baltic Amber Teething necklace by Good Karma Zone

I heard about these with my oldest son, but never got one because teething never seemed to bother him much. I now have a 7 month old and he is getting teeth in two at a time. Bless his heart, we've tried everything, tablets, gels, teethers, cold wet washcloths, and nothing really worked. I had this exact product in my amazon cart for a couple days going back and forth as to get it and then I saw an opportunity to review it and was over the moon to get approved. Shipping was fast too. As soon as I got it out of the mailer, I inspected the necklace and gave it several good tugs to make sure it wouldn't come apart easily and it held. Each bead is hand knotted and small enough that if it did break wouldn't create a choking hazard. The clasp screws inside itself, so no pinching or getting caught on neck hair. It's tucks right into his shirt or onesie and he doesn't even notice it, so no tugging. At night I put it on his ankle just as a precaution. Now about how it works. He's had this necklace for a few weeks now. These past few  weeks, there has been a LOT less drooling, he's less fussy, he's sleeping through the night again, he's back to exploring and getting into everything, he's just back to being my happy cheeky monkey again. I took the necklace off of him for a bath (you don't have to but I did anyway) and forgot to put it back on him, he went a couple days without it, on day number 3 his daytime sitter told me to put it back on him, she noticed the difference and said she could tell it was helping him also.

  This is a great product and I would recommend it to any mom. You can get yours HERE.  I'm seriously thinking about getting the other colors, so they would go with outfit changes. We have the cognac color one and it's a nice neutral color. The only problem I have with this product is, My now 6 year old son, is jealous and wants one too because the baby gets a necklace and he doesn't.

InstaNatural Argan Oil Hair mask and Face Serum

< ;


Both products right out of the mail.

I had never tried a hair mask before but I had seen different advertisements about argan oil before. I decided why not? I'm really glad I did. My hair has a luster it has never had before. I have really thin hair and it is always breaking. I've noticed in the couple weeks I've been using this product that I've had less split ends and my hair feels stronger. Also, there is considerably less hair in the shower drain than before, which my husband is certainly grateful for. My hair looks great and feels great too, you can not only tell a difference in the look but just as much in the feel of it. My hair is silky and smooth and fresh out of the shower I can run a comb through it, usually I have to use a leave in conditioner to be able to manage my hair. I know you may have not ever seen my hair, but it is really thin and tangle quickly and easily, so just being able to put a comb through it is really a big deal for me. Really a great product, I was pleasantly surprised. I almost forgot to mention that this product smells really great too, to me it smells like a "spiced orange" scent, but it is very light and would easily compliment any of your other hair care products.


Look how thick this mask is!

I admit that I have tried several of these different types of these serums, and they have all been similar until now. I saw the dropper and thought this was going to be messy. Most of these serums are about as thick as water, this one is completely different, It is thick, smooth and goes on evenly. The dropper is quite welcomed as I think if it had a pump it would get jammed. I'm outside a lot for my job and it really takes a toll on my skin, and I'm starting to form crow's feet and fine wrinkles around my eyes and forehead. Within a couple days of using this I could see the difference and almost instantly my face feels smoother. My makeup even goes on smoother and I've started using this instead of my regular moisturizer. So far this one is my true favorite and I will keep using this one until I find one that, hard to imagine, would do a better job. InstaNatural is quickly becoming one of my favorite companies. So far, all of their products have been top notch.

Stroller Organizer Review from Children 'n Us

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP80fec5d453c4054a53d40a3621d3cc0f" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

Ok Moms, Have I got a new must have to share. I received this stroller organizer free to review, and I have absolutely fallen in Love with a capital L. I saw this up for review and thought, what the heck why not. We have a park about a half a mile up the road from us that I frequently take my 5 year old son to play, and am always feeling like even with that short trip I need to take half the house in case the baby needs something.

 Item packaging 

Straight out of the box and stuffed with goodies

This organizer has 2 inside pockets, 1 for my drink and 1 for a baby bottle, or for 2 bottles or whatever you need. It has a phone pocket on the outside and another pocket on the outside with a snap which is great for keys or to keep a few bucks in. I can take both boys to the park and take more than enough stuff with us to accommodate our trip. There is one big pocket, also with a snap which is great for diapers, wipes, and / or snacks.  I can't wait until we go back to the Zoo or on a field trip with my oldest son's school. This organizer makes it so easy to carry what we need without having to haul around a big bulky and heavy diaper bag. It easily clips to each side of the stroller handles and is adjustable so it should fit just about any stroller.

 I'm waiting on one of my friends to get pregnant because this is one of the things I'm gonna get her for her baby shower, it would make such a great gift and it's no the same old boring gift everyone gets.

You should just go ahead and purchase it now and wait for someone close to you to have a baby, seriously.

Contents (Not included): Diapers, Wipes, 2 bottles


We are all ready to go!

DIY: Eyeshadow Palette

As much as I love and I mean LOVE loose pigment eyeshadows, they are messy. I've seen this tutorial before on other blogs and youtube and I have several samples from Debbie at Fireworks Cosmetics (Free samples in every order) and some L.A. Colors Shimmers eyeshadows as well, so I decided to do my own.

Supplies you will need:

*Empty Eyeshadow palette (Mine was a few dollars on Ebay, Click Here)
*A quarter
*Mixing tool
*Little container to mix in
*Loose pigments
* 91% running Alcohol
* Paper towels/ scrap fabric
* A dropper (optional, but helpful)
* A old bath towel to help with the mess


Step 1)
Start with enough pigment to fill the bottom of the container you are working with and add more as you need, If you have a dropper, fill it with your alcohol and add drops, 1 at a time and mix. You are looking for a thick paste consistency. 


Step 2) Use your mixing tool to scoop out enough to fill your pan to the top & level it out the best you can.


Step 3) Place your paper towel over your pan and place on top. Push your quarter firmly in the pan. This drawls out the excess alcohol. Move to a fresh section of towel and repeat.


Step 4) Once your paper towel stops absorbing alcohol, Place back in palette.


Step 5) Repeat until you have your palette filled and allow to dry overnight

This DIY was fun and messy and super easy. My 5 year old son helped me with the blue, green & gold, because naturally the other colors are for girls. Sometimes you just need to have a little fun and a lot of mess. I'm happy in the end product and feel I will use these colors more now.

Phytoceramides Review

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP5cac8a9dbef8b9a2b300976fcc421df5" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I had never heard of this supplement before, so in the interest of trying new things, I signed up to review this one. Here is what the product claims:

Fake a Facelift: One Daily Pill Slows Down the Signs of Aging

Phytoceramides work on a cellular level to replenish the skin's natural ceramides that deplete as we age. Restores the skin's protective barrier, locking moisture in and hydrating skin from the inside out.

In as little as 4 weeks, you'll enjoy smoother, softer skin. After 12 weeks, you'll notice plumper, tighter skin with less fine lines and wrinkles.

Helps fade stubborn crows feet even when every eye cream you've tried didn't work. Softens laugh lines, frown lines, and forehead creases. Plumps out sagging skin on cheeks and neck.

Great for Dry, Rough, & Flaky Skin

Helps immensely with dry skin conditions such as eczema, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis.
Clinically proven to increase hydration in the skin, Phytoceramides bind skin cells together so they hold more moisture in.

Smooths and softens dry, cracked skin from head to toe. Even works on the thick, dry skin on heels and elbows. Skin will feel more supple and you'll have a natural, dewy glow.

Improves the Quality of Hair and Nails Too

Oral Phytoceramides absorb into the bloodstream and flow to every single skin cell, including your hair and nails.
You will notice that your hair grows in thicker and healthier and feels softer. Brittle nails become thicker and stronger and are less prone to breakage.

Most Effective Formula Available

40 mg of our rice-based Ceramide-PCD formula outperforms 350 mg LipoWheat or Sweet Potato ceramides. Wheat gluten free and enhanced with vitamins A, C, D & E. No fillers, binders, or artificial ingredients. No side effects.


So I have been taking this product for nearly 2 weeks. I am constantly suffering from eczema and thin breaking hair & nails. So this product should be perfect for me. I can honestly say that my eczema has gotten quite a bit better although it's not completely gone, but the redness has been reduced, not as itchy, and nowhere as near noticeable.  So I would say it helped there.  Now onto thin breaking hair, no luck, no change there, my nails on the other hand (no pun intended) are longer and stronger, it seems to be all going there.
