100% Plant Based Konjac Sponge - Original White Review


For the Konjac Sponge, I really wanted to compare it based on it's claims from Amazon, So here is the list claiming what it is and what it does. Copied for reference: 1)"MIRACLE SPONGE" FOR YOUR DAILY BEAUTY REGIME - No other beauty sponge will work so hard for you! This luxuriously soft sponge gently exfoliates, cleanses, and is naturally pH balanced. The natural fibers help absorb excess oils, impurities and acne causing bacteria while leaving your face refreshed and radiant. Even preps skin to boost the absorption of your favorite serums and creams. 2)LUXURIOUSLY GENTLE EXFOLIATION FOR DAILY USE - Soft enough for a baby's skin while still providing effective exfoliation. Relaxing and gentle for daily use even on the most sensitive skin. Say goodbye to the irritation caused by harsher exfoliating methods and expensive electronic gadgets. You don't even need to use a face cleanser, unless you want to. Fantastic for battling blackheads and breakouts!
 3)NEW IMPROVED TEARDROP SHAPE - FOR FACE AND BODY - New ergonomically designed teardrop shape fits comfortably in the palm of your hand while the soft rounded point allows you to gently exfoliate sensitive hard to reach areas around your eyes. Ideal shape for the contours of your face but still large enough for your body. You'll love using it in the shower or by the mirror!
 4)100% NATURAL, ECO-FRIENDLY and BIODEGRADABLE - We painstakingly evaluated countless Konjac sponges on the market before putting our reputation behind this beauty. Our Konjac fiber is grown on the pristine volcanic plains of Jeju Island in South Korea, free from chemicals, pollution and irritants. The sponge hydrates quickly, and lasts longer with proper care than others we tested.

Buying an extra one for a Friend or for the Shower? Consider Buying 4 and take advantage of Amazon's FREE SHIPPING. These Sponges make Amazing Gifts!

 Now let's go through these points one by one based on my experience using the sponge:
 1) First out of the packaging the product is really hard and honestly it kinda feels like that weird foam stuff from floral arrangements. Once you wet it, it turns into a super smooth and slippery sponge of awesomeness. My skin felt superb after using it from the very first time.
 2)I was worried as hard as it was first out of the box that it would feel rough against my skin but once wet it glided right over my skin. I've used it every day at night before bed and wake up with still fresh and clean skin. I have very sensitive skin, like to the point band-aids break me out, and I've had no irritation not once, and Yes, I've also had less blackheads, especially around my nose, which is always my worst spot.
  3) The teardrop shape is ideal for your face. It get in all the spots without having to fight it. It gets in around your eyes easily and helps get rid of all that end of the day mascara "raccoon" failout. The shape also helps you hold onto it and it fits right in the palm of your hand.
 4) It's well made and natural, holds up very well after a month of uses, rinses out easily, and I'm happy to say you really don't even have to use a cleanser or serum with this product, but of course you can if so wish to.
 5) It has a 100% guarantee, you won't want to let this product go, but I understand that different people like different things and if this isn't sponge isn't for you, send it back, you have nothing to lose by trying it. Of course, you could always just send it to me, haha, or it would make a great gift for the teenage girl, new mom, or bestie in your life.  Get your's here for only $10!

Dot & Dot Car Seat protector/cover review

One of my new favorite companies, Dot & Dot sent me this car seat protector to review. As a mom of a 6 year old, you have no idea how much I needed this in my life and in my car. It does a great job keeping the mud off the back of my leather seat. It is water resistant and wipes clean very easily. It was especially easy to install and easy to adjust. I've already thought about ordering another one or two to go under the car seats for my kids as well. Have you ever looked underneath them? Endless amount of crumbs and spilt juice, and that's no way to treat leather at all. As always with Dot & dot, you get a lot of bang for your buck. So far every item I've seen of theirs is well made and durable and at a great price. You can get 2 of these protectors for less than $20 right now on Amazon! I've only got two downsides and they are really not a big deal, is that I wish they came in a few more colors and even with them being 18" long, there was still a bit of room left uncovered for my Highlander seat, I'm sure if you have a smaller car, then they'd fit perfectly. Maybe in the future you could put little pockets on them too, so that kids could have a place to store little things on road trips, games, snacks, etc. Check them out here
