My Review

First off, the product I received was the 15oz sample size and is not the same size as the normal bottle. It is not the exact item shown on the Amazon page.

They advertise that a little goes a long way but I found I had to apply more than the dime-sized amount recommended on the package. It didn't even leave my face feeling soft. I wound up needing to use my normal moisturizer on top of this product. Not impressed.


The company makes some VERY bold claims about this product and how well it works but I saw no change in using this product over the past few weeks. Seems like a lot of money to spend on something that doesn't work.

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.

My Instagram
I have been using Yacon Syrup in my coffee and tea recently and I love it! This product is similar to the other Yacon Syrup that I recently reviewed however this one is 100% pure and doesn't smell as good. The other Yacon Syrup products I have reviewed smelled like molasses. Not this one. This one smells bitter and doesn't do as much in sweetening my coffee.

I do really like the other effects that this product offers though such as: reducing cravings, constipation and digestive distress. It is also high in soluble fiber leaving you feeling relieved, light and energized. It is a great alternative to artificial sweeteners and there's no icky aftertaste.

My Review

My Instagram
I already love this Pure Body Naturals Peppermint Oil. I love the large size of the bottle and I'm pretty sure I will never use it all, well maybe in a year or two! Most essential oils come in tiny 10 ml bottles, but this 4 fl. oz. bottle is big! Such a good value given the size of the bottle! The oil itself is great too, peppermint is my favorite of the essential oils plus this is 100% pure and natural.

There are so many uses to this product too! I get a lot of headaches from looking at a computer all day and this essential oil is my go to cure now! Plus I have friends who use it as a toothpaste - mixing coconut oil and a few drops of this peppermint oil. Dry, itchy scalp? Put a few drops in your hand and run them over your scalp. Wait a few hours and wash it out.

My Review

No matter how old or young you are, there is always something out of reach. Whether something is up high and you're short or down low and you have trouble bending. This product helps!

I am five foot three which isn't that short but I often have trouble reaching items on shelves in my apartment. Since receiving the Reach it Grab it, I have been able to reach everything I need!

I'm one of these people that keep a step ladder in my apartment because I am always struggling to get things down from high places. Either that or I have to climb on my counters. I have saved myself a step with the Reach it Grab it. It stores in a much narrower location and I don't need to lug out my step ladder each time I need to grab something.

I wouldn't trust this product to pick up heavy items. The image included of me using the Reach it Grab it to get a full sized air mattress off a high shelf was me just moving the air mattress to a level where I could use my other hand to get it down. I do not recommend trying to get heavy items from a shelf above your head because there is a chance that it could fall and injure you.

My Review

My Instagram
I have been using Argan oil in my hair for more than a year now and have recommended it to many people. I love what it does for my hair. I apply a quarter sized amount to my hair after each shower and when I wake up my hair is soft. How easy?!


I have been using Ogx Extra Penetrating Oil for dry and coarse hair. I love how it smells the most and I never need to wear perfume because my hair always smells so great! I think that's my main qualm with the Pure Body Naturals Pure Argan oil, it doesn't smell good. It actually smells kind of bad. While it works amazingly, it just doesn't have that same delicious smell.

The winter always seems to be the time when my hair and skin are the driest. I have naturally wavy hair that can never be hydrated enough though. By using Argan oil products I have noticed less frizz and my hair isn't being weighed down with all kinds of products.

Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics - Review

All Day Energy with Increased Focus

Matcha provides 4 to 6 hours of mild steady energy as it acts as both a stimulant and a relaxant. This is ideal for focusing on whatever the day throws your way.

Metabolism Boost

Consuming matcha green tea can increase thermogenesis (the body's own rate of burning calories) from a normal 8%-10% of daily energy expenditure, to between 35% and 43% of daily energy expenditure.

Improved Skin Health

​Scientists have discovered that Matcha Green Tea helps protect the skin from harmful UVrays, while improving blood flow and oxygen levels lifting the overall quality of the skin.

137 Times the Antioxidants of Brewed Green Tea

Antioxidants are essential as you age to boost your body's natural defenses against oxidation. Researchers have found that a high level of dietary antioxidants can prevent many age-related diseases.

My Review

There is a difference between drinking grade Matcha and ingredient grade Matcha. This is ingredient grade matcha.

Drinking grade is

My Instagram
  • Higher grade of Matcha
  • Naturally sweet
  • Smooth finish with little to no bitterness
  • Best enjoyed prepared with just water, if you cook with it or add other ingredients, the flavor is lost
Ingredient grade is

  • Bitter in flavor
  • Good mixed with other ingredients, flavors will balance
  • Typically made from older leaves that may have been exposed to sunlight longer
My Instagram

I made a "latte" first. I think this is when I realized that this was NOT drinking grade matcha. If it was, I would not have needed to add sugar to make this drinkable.

I put in one tablespoon of sugar, more than I would normally put in any other drink and I gagged trying to swallow it. I wound up dumping it down the drain rather than drinking it.

I hope it works better for baking!

Eve's Addiction Customized Acrylic and Sterling Silver Necklace Review + Discount Code

My Instagram
Recently I received an invitation from Smiley360 for a mission that I couldn't wait to join! If you follow me on instagram, you might remember me posting this picture a while back. Well, I received my kit and ordered. AND it arrived!

My Smiley kit contained:

  • $30 off Gift Card Code + Free Shipping on an Eve's Addiction Product

My Instagram
I received the Gift Card Code in my email and went to the Eve's Addiction website through the link that was in my Smiley360 email. I was surprised at all the options available for customization on their website and found it hard to decide how to spend my gift card!

Eve's Addiction has rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, decorations and more! You can customize almost anything in the store too! Add a birthstone, initials, name, short message, you name it! Make these items yours with your customization!

I decided to order a necklace with my name on it, Gabrielle. The shipping was fast and my customized necklace arrive in less than a week. Unfortunately, they spelled my name incorrectly, Gabriella. The design had been approved by three people and each had stamped or initialed on my invoice.

My Instagram
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to have it exchanged because the company has a strict no return policy on custom jewelry. I called customer service and explained the situation expecting to need to prove that it was done incorrectly, jump through hoops (hence all the pictures), and have them refuse the return / exchange. But I spoke with a knowledgeable representative and she took care of everything. She even asked me how to spell my name five times. Just to make sure.

Eve's Addiction is sending me a new necklace with my name spelled correctly and sending me return postage to send this incorrect one back.

I'm really happy with this experience so far and cannot wait to get my necklace with the correctly spelled name on it. I mean, look at how cute this is!

My Instagram
This jewelry would make great gifts. A custom ring for graduation or an anniversary. A name necklace like this one would be an amazing gift for any little girl, they will cherish it! Prices on a lot of the items that Eve's Addiction sells are steep so be warned. I chose this necklace because with my gift card I only wound up paying $0.60.

Now that you’ve made your holiday sparkle with Eve’s Addiction, it’s time to share it with friends! Using the code ‘SMILE25’ will give your friends and family 25% off their Eve’s Addiction purchase.

I'm a member of Smiley360.com, where I qualify to try brands for free in exchange for sharing my authentic feedback. This was a sample that I received from smiley360. These samples were given to me for free so that I might review them the opinions I share here are 100% my own. Join me on Smiley360.
