The Ritual of Ayurveda - The Ancient Art of Living Wisely
I had the opportunity to sample some fantastic Rituals products AND share them with some friends and coworkers too! One coworker had such positive things to say about the sample I shared with her. She said "OMG!  I love, love, love the oil. Where can I buy it?!" and she shared too! "I even had my Son’s girlfriend try it and she loved it too.  And both of us loved the scent of the Sachet.  Even my Son (who is very sensitive to certain smells) liked it.  Thank you for sharing!!!" One thing I heard a lot was that the scent was attractive and that it wasn't harsh or irritating -- must be those ancient traditions!

The Ritual of Ayurveda Dry Oil (Vata, Pitta or Kapha)

• 100% natural unique dry oil that nourishes the skin 
• The unique formula of the dry oil is quickly absorbed, gives a silky soft sensation to the skin and leaves a delightful aroma 

If you're looking for a fragrant, moisturizing skin treatment, look no further! The color of the product made me think that it would have a rose scent but the scent is more on the natural/nature/sandalwood side. I LOVE how well this product moisturizes and the scent it leaves on my skin, it lasts long enough for me, without being overpowering. Dry elbows - be gone!


The Ritual of Ayurveda luxury travel size Foaming Shower Gel 

• Unique shower foam technology based on Indian Rose and Sweet Almond Oil 
• Squeeze a small amount of gel into your hand – contact with water instantly transforms the gel to foam

This shower gel is also an earthy sandalwood scented wash that moisturizes as it cleanses! What more could you want?! I am a huge fan of the scent and how clean and relaxed I feel after using this foaming body wash. It is easy to use, a small amount in your hand, add water then WAM! foaming clean! The scent lasts on your skin for most of the day, without being overpowering.into a rich, relaxing foam. The in-shower calming effect is nice too, feel those ancient traditions surround you in the warm steam.

Gnome Workshop® Bluetooth Foldable Selfie Stick

My Instagram

I never wanted to be one of those people who took a lot of selfies and even less one of those people who used a selfie stick. Begrudgingly I have begun using this Gnome Workshop® Bluetooth Foldable Selfie Stick. Now both of us can fit in the pictures on vacations with the background in the shot without needing to ask strangers for help.

This particular selfie stick has a wireless Bluetooth design which easily pairs with your phone. The Bluetooth allows you to use the shutter button on the handle to take photos which means there is no remote to worry about loosing. The selfie stick is made of stainless steel with a universal expandable silicone holder which gives it a firm grip. The head of the selfie stick can rotate 270 degrees to get the best angle. The extendable pole opens to 31.4 inches and the head can extend another three and a half inches. The selfie stick also collapses fairly small to make it fit in any bag and here is a nice handle attached to make sure it doesn't fall off your wrist! Not to mention that this selfie stick comes with a one-year warranty, no hassles.

The selfie stick needs to be charged to use the Bluetooth so make sure to charge it before you go out. It uses the same micro USB charger as Android phones. The construction of this product is a bit on the low end with the telescoping arm not sliding well but not so horrible that I wouldn't recommend it at all. Especially if you are a light traveler, this would work great for you. I would not , however recommend sending this down a mountain or really rugged testing it.

NOVICA Hand Crocheted Wristband Bracelet with Agate and Labradorite Stones

This bracelet is beautiful! It is a crocheted bracelet with agate and labradorite stone beads and it looks handmade, which it is! The wristband is a bit chunkier than I normally wear but it is very lightweight. The bracelet is soft and comfortable to wear on your arm. The band is also adjustable so it fits almost any sized wrist though it is a bit big for my wrist. 

The stone beads on this wristband are pretty and colorful. They're not too big to make it easy to get caught on anything. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my unbiased review of it.

Premium Salt and Pepper Grinder Set - Review

Boasting stunning contemporary design, this stainless steel salt and pepper grinder set features lead-free glass globe bases which is certain to add style to any kitchen! So far, I am impressed with this product and I will most likely be purchasing an extra set for some of my spices. Fresh ground herbs and spices taste so much better, these grinders are very versatile.

These salt and pepper grinders don't leave salt or pepper dust on the kitchen counter as they feature an upright design. The ceramic grinder is adjustable and easily produces a wide variety of coarse or fine grind which I love. Use the high-quality non-corrosive hardened ceramic core to adjust the grain from fine to coarse! Customization is a must in this day and age! Control the fineness or coarseness for each serving. The grinders fit well in your hand and I have found that they require very little force to grind which I am so happy about.

If you like Himalayan pink salt and haven't had luck with other grinders, look no further. This set allows you to grind Himalayan pink salt into powder. My last set of salt and pepper grinders had a hard time grinding Himalayan pink salt but this set works great! How refreshing!

Mess-free refills are made possible by a one and a half inch wide opening. Refilling this salt and pepper grinder set could not be easier! Simply unscrew the glass base, fill the base with salt, peppercorn or spices and screw the base back onto the cap. I like the glass base which looks beautiful and highly practical as you can easily see how much peppercorn or salt is remaining in the grinders.

Cleaning is made simple by this salt and pepper grinder set, wash the set between refills, simply unscrew the glass base and wash both parts with warm water and mild soap. The glass even makes these dishwasher safe, not that you will want to go a whole wash cycle without them!

You know this product is trust worthy too, with a limited lifetime warranty, this company prides themselves on the best-quality products for their customers and as a result offer this warranty for your peace of mind. A bonus eBook "Great Food from the Grill" is included with every purchase. Simply follow the instructions on the product packaging to register for the lifetime warranty and claim your bonus eBook.

It is important to note that these grinders do not come with the salt or pepper, they will arrive empty. You can purchase this set today on Amazon with free delivery for Amazon Prime members here.

Valentia True Glow Eye Serum Review

My Instagram

If you have been a long term reader of this blog, you may remember my review of Valentia Skin Care's NEW Even Glow Serum - 20% Vitamin C - Natural & Organic. Well this awesome rand has a new product and it is no less awesome! Enter stage right, Valentia True Glow Eye Serum!

This eye cream is rich and thick. The bottle comes with a pump top that makes it easy to dispense the product in small doses. Great since you only need a little anyway!

Even with how thick this cream is, it absorbs very well, and quickly too! My eyes look instantly less puffy when I use this cream in the morning and it makes me look more alert when I get into the office. Plus, the orange scent of this product is a great scent to wake up to!

The orange-ish yellow color of the cream is slightly off-putting in color as it reminds me of puss, ick. I would not recommend that the company change the formula at all though, especially if that meant giving up the high standard of 98% natural ingredients. Seriously though, when you read the ingredient list you'll know exactly what most of them are. This product is not chemicals and fillers.

Tweez'em Stainless Steel Tweezers for Ingrown Hairs

These tweezers are great. I have some difficult hairs that always are always difficult and I have never found tweezers that work this well! I have had zero difficulty removing those tough to get hairs or the short hairs in my eyebrows. The sharp tip of these tweezers are perfectly sharp and once you pluck a hair, they're great at holding on, pulling out all those unwanted hairs. They also work as a helpful tool such as picking out splinters. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% honest and my own.

HemisFares™ Dry Pasta - Tagliatelle di Campofilone and Sugo Bolognese con Barolo

As you may remember, I recently reviewed an awesome pasta brand from Kroger Co. called Hemis

Fares. I had another opportunity to review this amazing brand including pasta and pasta sauce!

HemisFares^™ Dry Pasta Facts

All of the HemisFares^™ dry pastas are made by local, artisanal producers in Italy using traditional Gragnano style methods — the highest quality production process for pasta. The machines they use cannot produce more than a few hundred pounds of pasta an hour (compared to tons of pasta at industrial companies). The pasta is then dried for 12–14 hours (compared to 4–6 hours) at a lower temperature to preserve the authentic flavor and natural nutritional value of the wheat used. The items from Hemis Fares which I tried in this Bzz Kit are as follows:

Tagliatelle di Campofilone (Italian Flat Egg Noodles)
Region: Marche
Tagliatelle originally comes from the tiny medieval village of Campofilone, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. According to legend, this traditional egg-based pasta originates from the late 1400s and has been passed down by generations of local women. Dough was rolled out on marble stones, then kept in cotton cloths to absorb humidity and preserve the character of the noodles. Eggs give this pasta a subtle but rich taste. It pairs well with very simple ingredients: olive oil, tomatoes, fresh basil and Parmigiano Reggiano, to name a few.

Sugo Bolognese con Barolo (Bolognese Pasta Sauce with Barolo Wine)
Region: Emilia-Romagna
Located in the north of Italy, Emilia-Romagna is known for hearty dishes and quality meats (especially pork). The earliest mention of a meat-based sauce recipe was in the late 18th century from a town near Bologna; and thus, Bolognese was born! This rich sauce is given even more depth of flavor with the addition of aged Barolo, considered one of Italy’s finest wines.

Olio di Oliva Extra Vergine (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
Region: Sicilia
This herbaceous, unfiltered oil is produced on a family farm near the ancient town of Partanna — made from olives that have been grown and harvested by the same family for over 100 years and cold pressed within eight hours of being picked! Only the best hand-picked olives are used to extract the oil, resulting in a distinctive cloudy appearance with some tiny olive particles that remain.

The Tagliatelle di Campofilone is just delicious, it tasted like it was freshly made! We couldn't get enough of the sauce either. Even though it is a Bolognese, I wasn't expecting the meat in the jar. It was nice not needing to cook up meat to go with the meal too. Instead of pouring a little over each serving of the pasta we decided to dump the whole thing in there and mix it with the noodles. It turned out amazing! We enjoyed the pasta and sauce so much that I had to go back and buy more! This will now be our go to pasta sauce!

NEW Jif™ Bars Review

My Instagram

Finally, the great peanut butter taste you love about Jif® Peanut Butter, now in a snack bar. NEW Jif™ Bars combine delicious Jif peanut butter with chewy granola! They’re the perfect combination of delicious and texture with 7 – 8 g of protein. And they come in three delicious varieties: Creamy Peanut Butter, Crunchy Peanut Butter, and Peanut Butter Chocolate flavored.

My Instagram

While I received these bars complementary from Crowdtap, I couldn't help but think I had tried these before. I have! A few weeks ago my boss offered these to me. Turns out his sister works for Smucker's and I received two of these Peanut Butter Chocolate bars in their white packaging before they came to market. Super cool!

My Instagram

The NEW Jif™ Bars are delicious but there's not much truly NEW about them. I wanted these to be my new favorite bar ever. Unfortunately, I think that these are similar to most granola bars on the market today. These granola bars are very sweet because they have so much peanut butter on them. Don't get me wrong, they're delicious, they're just not NEW.

I think I may have preferred these if there were different nut varieties available, maybe an almond or cashew? I love using sunflower butter in place of peanut butter these days ant the schools are not allowing peanut butter on site anymore.

I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to review these products.  I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free from Crowdtap.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. 

Folgers Iced Café™ Artificially Flavored Coffee Drink Concentrates Review

I don't use concentrates like this Folgers Iced Café™ Hazelnut Latte Artificially Flavored Coffee Drink Concentrate often but I'm so glad I was able to try this one!  This product is amazing and it definitely changed my opinion on products like these!  As I said, I don't ue products like these usually so I was reluctant to try it at first. I love iced coffee though so I had to give it a try.

When it comes  to iced coffee it can be difficult to make it quick but nothing is easier than grabbing this Folgers Iced Café™ concentrate and squirting it into milk.  I like to make coffee cubes, ice cubes made with black coffee, to add to my iced coffee. These Folgers Iced Café™ Artificially Flavored Coffee Drink Concentrates save me so much time!

While mixing this Folgers Iced Café™ Artificially Flavored Coffee Drink Concentrate into my milk, I found that it acts similar to chocolate milk syrup. If you don't mix it really well, it settles to the bottom.  The mixture can be hard to get perfect with the ice cubes included but a knife works well. 

When you use this Folgers Iced Café™ Artificially Flavored Coffee Drink Concentrate, you don't need a lot.  Just a few drops works great!  I love this product because it allows you to customize each drink.

Two-Layer Hybrid Case for Samsung Galaxy S6

Features:

• Designed for Samsung Galaxy S6
• Get superior shock protection for your smartphone by using this Hybrid Protector Case
• This case features a dual-layer design, which combines an inner TPU layer with an outer polycarbonate (PC) shell
• The case maximizes impact resistance and skid pads provide grip on various surfaces.
• The device snaps easily in and out of the case as it would in any protective skin.
• Use your Samsung S6 as if it wasn't in a case & don't worry about damaging it.
• All the functionality of your device is unobstructed while the case is keeping it secure.

This case is gorgeous! The bright pink portion is just the pop needed in my life! My only complaint is the pink portion is very smooth and can easily slip through your fingers. I have dropped the phone once (OK, not me, but my 5 year old) and everything survived, so for the price, this is a steal!

The angle of the case at the front edges doesn't interfere with the scree or fingerprint reader. The look of the case isn't super flashy but allows you to have something colorful with you at all times. Overall its a great slim case that will offer decent protection while still allowing the S6's beautiful design to shine.

Adovia Dead Sea Salt Scrub Review

I love this product! My heels are notoriously dry and perpetually cracked! This Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub totally lives up to its promises! I was first impressed with the amazing scent of this product. Then, after use I was excited by how soft all my skin had become!

I’m quite sensitive to smell and this product does have quite a powerful scent. But it smells SO good! The scent, along with the softness lingers! No lotion is needed after using and rinsing this salt scrub!

When I used this product on my heels, I began by soaking my feet in the bath tub. I then used a pumice stone to get the larger, more callused sections cleaned up. I used this product next, paying attention to the whole foot, not just the heel. I even used this scrub on my lower leg (below my knee.) After I was finished scrubbing, I made sure to get my whole hand scrubbed then just rinsed. My heels and legs never felt so good!

This would make a great gift for anyone, even yourself! Pick some up HERE!

Mattress Protector By Comfiy Review

The mattress protector by Comfiy is the finest full sized hypoallergenic bed protector. It is clinically proven to be safe and 100% waterproof. It is a bedbug protector too! It comes in Full, Queen, and King sizes and comes with a 100% guarantee. Notice these great features:

• Get a restful nights sleep Enjoy prime comfort

• This mattress protector also comes with a 30 year guarantee! That's right, get 100% money back if you are not completely satisfied with your purchase

So far, I have been nothing but impressed with this mattress cover. I have always kept a mattress cover on my bed because of the many positive things I know they offer. I decided to trade up because my old mattress protector was getting, well.... old. There were tears in the fabric and I needed something better. I'm glad that I got a new one too! It keeps dust mites and bedbugs in without trapping heat, and it's so supple that I can't even feel it when it's on the bed. 

This product claims that it is "waterproof" and it is! I used a dropper and tested it myself and was excited to see the droplets roll right off. The durable polyurethane layer is soundless when moved on, so it protects the mattress pad without noise. The pad's flexible knit sides hug mattresses up to twenty-two inches deep to keep it snug, smooth, and centered.

This isn't your typical water bottle. Ok... It is a plastic bottle for water, BUT this water bottle has an infuser! At first I was unsure about this bottle and the concept of it. I was thinking that the infuser wouldn't be long enough to actually flavor the water or the flavor of the fruits wouldn't transfer well. Boy was I ever wrong! 

The design of this water bottle is great! The plastic mouth piece is perfectly placed over the infuser in the lid! That means that with every sip, you get the flavor of your fruit! 

The lid of the bottle is very hard, good quality plastic. The infuser screws right onto the lid. The lid screws perfectly onto the bottle without any leaking! The lid also has a
 

I stuffed the infuser full of the frozen fruits, raspberries, cherries, pomegranate kernels, etc., screwed it onto the lid, and filled my bottle with water. What a delicious bottle of water. Every single sip of the water was deliciously flavored!

This water bottle is awesome. It will encourage me to drink more water and eat the fruits that I added to the infuser too. The price of the Fruit Fusion Water Bottle is really great too!

I found that once the water reached a certain level, shown in the image above, I couldn't drink anymore. Not because I didn't want to but the bottle wouldn't let me! To drink the liquid, I had to remove the whole top of the bottle and nearly made a mess with the infuser.

Lingerie Bags - Set of 4 Review

These wash bags come in a set of 4 (2 large (16" x 20"), 1 medium  (12" x 16"), and 1 small (8" x 12")).  I loved these bags as soon as I started using them!  Some features of these laundry bags include:

• The zipper and elastic zipper guide which allows you to place the zipper snugly inside the guard so that it doesn't hit the sides of the washer and dryer.
• Tight knitting which keeps your delicates in while letting water and laundry detergent to pass through.
• Affordable price! No explanation needed.

The nice thing about these bags is you can really save yourself some time and headache.  I now use it in for my underwear, bras, and socks all the time. They help to keep my bras and underwear like new which saves me a lot of money! I also plan to using them in the summer for my bathing suits rather than washing them in the sink. I cannot express enough how great these bags are!

I have been using other laundry bags for years but the holes re larger and I often find the clasps on my bras get hooked on the large holes. That's not an issue with these laundry bags!

My dog isn't a puppy anymore but he's always a bundle of energy! He loves this food and I love how great his fur is looking! He used to eat Iams but after MUCH research and weighing pros and cons, we switched him to this food. He's at a good weight and his coat shines, very soft and glossy too!

The only drawbacks I have seen is that it is not available in every store. It does contain corn, but he's loving it anyway. That's all any dog owner can ask for. It may not be the best dog food on the market but it's:

• Made in the USA
• Has never been recalled
• Does not contain colors or chemicals

perfectly (un)done TRESemme waves!

 I received the #DiscoverNewFavorites VoxBox from @Influenster. The box contained one bottle of TRESemme Perfectly (Un)Done Shampoo and one bottle of TRESemme Perfectly (Un)Done Conditioner. I have naturally wavy/curly hair but they are by no means tight. I was excite to try this product none the less.

My Review

To be honest, I really wasn't impressed. The scent of these products is nearly unbearable.  When I first opened the bottle in the shower, I didn't think about it. As soon as I lathered the shampoo in my hair I began to regret it. It smells like nail polish remover and then some chemicals. I hoped that the scent would be better in the conditioner but it wasn't. The worst part is that the scent lingers. The shower isn't the end of the smell! 

I put products in my hair to hold the curls and they usually make my hair smell great. Even when your hair is dry, the scent is there! It was horrible all day long, and I shower before bed.

Not only is there a bad scent, this product also made my hair drier, frizzier, and poofy. I haven't had these problems with my hair in years. There's no way I will be going back to this! Next!

Softy Individually Wrapped Hand Sanitizing Wipes

My Instagram

I love the Softy Individually Wrapped Hand Sanitizing Wipes! I love Softy's traditional sanitizing wipes in the large tub, so I was thrilled to be able to review this new product for Softy too!

The box comes with one hundred, individually wrapped wipes inside. They are well packaged, easy to open, and the same amazing product I reviewed in tub form but now individually wrapped! I love how nicely they are placed inside of the box. They aren't just thrown into the box, they're organized. One hundred of these individually wrapped wipes should last me a long time! Though, when my brother's kids come over they could go fast ... Worth is though!

Just like the large tub of wipes, these are large. Though I think the individually wrapped wipes stay moist longer. After a while, their tub can let air in and the wipes seem dryer. The individually wrapped ones lock in the moisture with the packaging though! The wipe itself is very moist.

These fabulously clean and fresh smelling sanitizing wipes can no go anywhere with you! These wipes can ensure you are sanitized and clean at all times! I have about ten in my desk at work, five in the center console of  my car (they're sealed so they shouldn't dry out easily), five in my backpack, and a huge box for the messes at home! These individually wrapped wipes are portable and offer a quick fix when you can't wash your hands.

Head over to Amazon to grab these Individually Wrapped Hand Sanitizing Wipes. 100 ct Extra Large & Thick Antibacterial Sanitizer Wipes. Alcohol-Free. Use on Hands + Surface.

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.
