InstaNatural Vitamin C Facial Toner, Skin Clearing Serum, and Vitamin C Moisturizer


                                           InstaNatural

                     Vitamin C Facial Toner,  Skin Clearing Serum, and Vitamin C Moisturizer

               http://instanatural.com/collections/skin-care/products/age-defying-skin-clearing-serum

                                                                                         This comes in a 4fl oz spray bottle. The nozzle sprays a nice mist, not to heavy. Some of the ingredients in this are Witch Hazel and Tea Tree Oil. These ingredients purify your pores to shrink them.  This leaves my skin feeling refreshed and clean.  I also think my other serums and moisturizers are more easily absorbed after I use the toner. Since I started using this my T zone gets less oily throughout the day. I enjoyed adding this to my skincare routine. Below is where you can find the item on Amazon.

This serum has 1fl oz of product in a dropper top glass bottle. I use this after the Instanatural Toner. This has helped my random dry patches that usually appear during this time of year. Usually if I get lazy one night and just use a face wipe and some moisturizer my skin will have dry patches the next day. After using this for just under 2 weeks my patches are completely gone. I don't have uneven skin tone but this says it will help with that. I have not gotten any breakouts from using this serum. My skin is looking plump and hydrated. I am very pleased with this product.

Last is the Vitamin C moisturizer this is the only thing I use on those lazy nights. I simply use a face wipe and apply this. I love this cream I feel like its a serum and moisturizer put together. I like that I can have a lazy night here and there and my skin will still look great when I use this. With this crazy winter weather my skin can look dull and tired. I self tan so with that and this product you would never know it was winter. My skin is glowing and firmer. I cant wait to see more benefits from this product.

Activated Charcoal Konjac Sponge Review

La Lune Naturals Activated Charcoal Konjac Cleansing Sponge

I have seen these on youtube before but I was happy with my Clarisonic mia and Luna so didn't look into buying one. Then I was given the opportunity to review this for free. I was interested to see how this would compare to my other face tools. I was very pleased with this product. You get the sponge in a sealed pouch and have to rehydrate it for about 15 minutes in luke room water. Then I add my facial cleanser to my face and use the sponge in gentle circular motions. The sponge is soft and you don't think its doing much but once you rinse your face your skin feels so soft. Last night I tried it on my lips and I will never use my toothbrush to exfoliate them again. This lasts for 2-3 months and can be sterilized placing in water and microwaving for 1 minute. I do this every 2 weeks. After use hang so it can dry out. So I am not saying I will never use my other face tools but this will be my daily tool for a while, its working out great. Below is the product description from the company and where you can purchase one yourself.  

Product Description

GrillFella BBQ Wok (Coppper) Review.

                 GrillFella BBQ Wok

                                       Our family loves to grill even in the winter! Usually when we grill vegetables or small pieces of meat you have to wrap them in tin foil or find the kabob sticks that always missed placed. No need to take those extra steps to get perfectly grilled food. This was so easy to use just chop and season whatever you feel like grilling and throw in the wok. The wok is vented so everything gets cooked evenly. No worries of food falling in the fire. Also a nice feature is the divider in case you have picky eaters and don't like when food is cooked together. Our family will be going camping this summer and I am so excited to try this over the fire pit. I think this will take the place of our pan and hot dog sticks we usually take. It will easily fit enough food for 4-6 people. It has nice size handles that are easy to lift with oven mits.  I was really happy with this product and I'm excited to try new foods to use it with. Below you will find a product description from the company and where you can get your own.

Premium Delicates Laundry Bags, Set of 4 Review

These are great laundry bags. The set come with 4 bags 2 medium (12" x 15") and 2 large (16"x19"). You get 3 white bags and 1 black bag to put your darker items in. I was able to fit 3 bras in the some bag and 5 in the large. These are durable enough to put in the dryer which is great so you don't have to worry about laying out to air dry. One of the best features of this bag is that you can slip the rustproof zipper under the zipper guard to protect & ensure a quiet and doesn't snag other laundry in the wash. I gave one to my friend who has a little girl to try out. She said it was great to put her daughters glittery clothing items in to keep the glitter in the bag and then she just rinses the glitter out. I have never used laundry bags before but I have to say I am glad I am using them now. I feel better knowing that my delicates are going to last longer. Also you don't have worry about sorting them out from the other laundry, its already done.
 
Below is the product description from the company and where you can get it-

Your Laundry. Done Smarter.
1) Delicates Laundry Bag Perfection. If you've tried any ordinary laundry wash bags, you'll notice the InsideSmarts difference in no time. These #1 Rated Wash Bags are made of premium-grade mesh that makes them as strong & durable as they are luxurious & smooth.

2) Everything in its Place. This popular lingerie wash bag set ships to you with 4 Luxury Wash Bags (2 medium, 2 large). Keep like-colors separated using the 3 white wash bags for light-colored loads, and the 1 large black bag for dark-colored items.

3) Every Wash: Quiet & Safe. Zippered mesh laundry bags can be noisy, but not this new, 2015 Delicates Wash Bag design. Slip the rustproof zipper under the smart zipper guard to protect & ensure a quiet, snag-free wash.

Insta Natural Reveiw Dead Sea Mask, Youth Expres, and Retinol Serum

 

Insta Natural

First product I am going to review is the Dead Sea Mud Mask. This is 16oz of all natural detoxifier and purifier that comes from the renowned and sacred Dead Sea. Some ingredients in this mask are shea butter, jojoba oil, aloe vera, calendula, and hickory bark extract. This is also vegan and cruelty free. I use a mask once a week sometimes more if my skin is looking a little dull or I have a breakout. I have used this three times and so far I am liking the results. First let me tell you do not try and apply this while taking a bath. It has a very slippery feel to the product and doesn't apply good with a wet face and wet hands. This applies best with a dry face and hands which I found out when I was taking a picture for the blog.
It says its a mud but I feel its more like a gel. So after you apply I leave it on for 10-15 min I can tell when its dry because it gets itchy in spot. It rinses off very easy with warm water. After you pat dry your face you will be shocked at how smooth your face will look. It makes my pores very small and it feels squeaky clean. This is my new favorite mask.

Next is the  Youth Express Night Serum this comes in a 3.4fl oz pump bottle. It is made in the USA and cruelty free which I love. I enjoy all of Insta Naturals pump bottles it has a stopper in the pump that I reuse not sure if your supposed to. Its nice to prevent any left over product to drip out. This is a thick white moisturizer that is a perfect anti-aging & hydrating solution. This has lessened the appearance of my red marks left behind from my last breakout. Also helps after I use my derma roller. Now is the time to check this out if only for the dryness caused from the season. Its very moisturizing
Look here for more information-

                                             Last is the Retinol Serum which comes in a 1 fl oz dropper top glass bottle. I have only been using this for a week but so far I like. The only thing I feel that its doing is firming my skin. That's not bad for only using for a week. This says it can be worn day and night but I thought I read retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun so I only use at night. It absorbs quickly in the skin and doesn't leave you feeling greasy or sticky feeling.




Giveaway + Comparison of Stainless Steel Microfiber Cleaning Cloths

 Pro Chef Kitchen Tools Stainless Steel Microfiber Cleaning Cloths
This 3 pack of cleaning cloths are perfect for polishing and removing smudges. You can use them on your refrigerator , stove, cooktop, toaster oven, microwave, kettles, washing machines, and dryer. I also just read and don't know why I didn't think of this but you can use them on mirrors and windows. The cloth has a unique diamond weave knitted design that will increase surface area and maximize the polishing action. The fibers act like a magnet to attract and trap dust, dirt, grease and oils to make them disappear. These cloths are thick and durable. I like that using these can eliminate the use of harsh and harmful chemicals. Also the use of rolls and rolls of paper towel. The directions are use water in a spray bottle or dampen a section of the towel for powerful cleaning action, then polish and buff to shine with the dry area of the cleaning cloth. This way of cleaning is naturally enviro friendly green solution that is non-toxic and safe for children and pets. As you can see in the picture these worked amazing leaving the refrigerator and dishwasher streak free, no water stains, and fingerprints. This is an amazing product.

Insta Natural Eye Gel, Eye serum, and Retinol Moisturizer


                                        Intsa Natural


      Youth Express Eye Gel, Youth Express Eye Serum, Advanced Action Retinol Moisturizer

                                                        http://www.InstaNatural.com
            I was really excited to try and review some great products from Insta Natural. The first product I am going to discuss is the Youth Express Eye Gel. This is a 1.7 fl oz pump bottle that you dab gently around your eyes. I use the finger next to the pinky to apply this, I heard this finger applies cream with the gentlest touch. Some ingredients this is enriched with are Plant stem Cells, Hyaluronic Acid, Matrixyl 3000, Vitamin E, and Jojoba oil. An interesting thing I learned about was Plant Stem Cells enhance its strength to protect against sun damage and other external aggressors. I have dark circles but they are hereditary so I wasn't expecting this to help with them but this did help with my eye bags, light crows feet, and fine lines. This product really targeted my saggy and puffy eyes. I always say I am going to go to sleep early like everyone else but there is always something to do. Being a mom of 2 and a husband that works 2nd shift I am up late most nights and wake early for work. So believe me when I say I need some work around my eyes. So I apply the eye gel at night and in the morning to look alive I have been using this for a week now and will continue to use because so far its working.
Check out their website below-

Or purchase here on amazon-

Next is the Youth Express Eye Serum this 1fl oz dropper top glass bottle is packed with everything your eyes need. Some ingredients in this are Vitamin C, Kojic Acid, Passion Flower, Caffeine, and much more. It does have an orange tint to the serum so don't be shocked.This is the dynamic duo for your eyes! With this polar vortex that everyone is dealing with my skin would be dry and dull if I wasn't using this. I apply this after I use the eye gel. This serum has caffeine I think of this as coffee for my eyes. This reduces my puffy eyes so they don't look so tired. I only use this in the morning because I am afraid of putting to much product around my eyes. Sometimes I find that I get clogged pores if I use to much product around my eyes. So far this system has been working for me. This doesn't leave my skin feeling oily or sticky. It also absorbs fast into my skin so I don't have to wait forever to apply my makeup. I am looking forward to continue my skincare routine with Insta Natural's products.

http://www.amazon.com/InstaNatural-Serum-Circles-Puffiness-Wrinkles/dp/B00Q306R4O/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1424401681&sr=8-9&keywords=instanatural



Last is the Advanced Action Retinol Moisturizer which comes in a 3.4fl oz pump bottle. This has 2.5% Rentinol, Shea Butter, Green Tea and other amazing ingredients. I like this moisturizer it leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft. I don't have a huge problem with breakouts or wrinkles but hope this will help to prevent both. I can't really say this has made a difference to my skin because its looking pretty good right now to begin with. I do have to say this is very moisturizing and has a nice scent to it. I only apply this at night and avoid my eyes because I feel I use enough products around my eyes. The reason I use this only at night is because I read that Retinol may make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

Organic MatchaDNA Green Tea - As Seen On Dr. Oz's TV Show - Review


Organic MatchaDNA Green Tea

                                             Matcha is a fine-ground, powdered, high quality green tea. The Japanese tea ceremony centers on the preparation, serving, and drinking of matcha. Now a days matcha has come to be used to flavor and dye foods such as soba noodles and green tea ice cream. The use of matcha in modern drinks has also spread to North American cafes, such as starbucks, which introduced "Green Tea Lattes" and other matcha flavored drinks.  Matcha has 10 times the nutrition of regular green tea due to the growing and harvesting process. The health benefits of matcha green tea are remarkable. It aids your body successfully in detoxification, weight loss, and much more.
                                         I am on week 3 of drinking a matcha smoothie every morning. This has boosted my energy with no side effects. I created my own smoothie but there is a ton of recipes out there. In mine I simply put 1 banana, 1 cup of milk, 1 packet of matcha, and ice. Not only does it give you energy it also aids in gastrointestinal health, helps bad with bad breath, helps heal wounds faster, enhances concentration, and many more. This is a great product to add to your day for its health benefits and its taste.
 

100% USDA Organic and Swiss Certified Organic. 34 single serve BPA FREE Pouches. MatchaDNA powdered green tea is a delicious tea with a delicate and naturally sweet taste. MatchaDNA is organically grown and hand-picked. It can be made as tea or used in foods and cooking. USDA Organic!

Giveaway Smarty Preschool Adventure Review .

Its giveaway time again!!!!!!!!

                             Smarty Preschool Adventure

I have a 7 and 3 year old boys. Doing homework at night can be crazy. When I am helping my 7 year old my 3 year old always seems to want attention at the same time. When I received this app to review I was excited and at the same time worried because the 3 year old has a very short attention span. He does not watch tv and is limited to the apps he can play. So that night I downloaded the game and said it was homework time. The youngest was surprisingly excited that he had to do homework like his big brother. This app keeps him interested but still is challenging. I think this will be a great help to prepare him for 4K.

Check for it in your app store.
