Foxbrim Vitiman C Lotion Review


My Instagram
Expect more from your Daily Moisturizer. It Starts With Quality Skin Protection With Proven Vitamin C. Moisture and More. All The Benefits In A Single Bottle. Foxbrim Vitamin C Lotion. This vitamin C lotion allows you to create healthy hydrated skin that radiates.
  • Effectively lighten spots and discoloration
  • Reduce wrinkle formation and existing wrinkles
  • Refine and even skin texture
  • Promote skin cell turnover

Key Ingredients include Vitamin C (15%), Aloe Vera, MSM, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, and Green Tea.

Formulated for all skin types, this natural lotion is soothing and non-irritating even for the most sensitive of skin types. Moisturize without worry, healthy hydration in a bottle.

My Review


I have used this product for a few days now and I'm not entirely impressed. I should clarify that I have fairly dry skin in some spots on my face so I use a moisturizer that helps to combat that already. This product doesn't help a lot with my fairly dry skin patches but it leaves my less dry patches moisturized well. 

I currently use Nivea face cream which I have my family import to the US from Germany. The formula is different than what you can buy in the US. It is a rich paste that I slather my face in daily and it keeps me moisturized evenly, even on those pesky dry spots.

Because I am so used to using something so thick and moisturizing, this product just didn't make the cut for me. It doesn't exactly have a pleasant scent nor is it repulsive, very neutral. Most of all though, it just doesn't moisturize the driest of spots on my face.


I would recommend this product for someone with neutral skin trying to gain the benefits of reducing wrinkles and refined, even skin texture. Or even to someone with oily skin who is trying to find a light weight moisturizer that won't make their skin more oily. Just not for someone with skin as dry as mine, even if just in patches.

My Instagram


These 11 Useful Tools are perfect for everyday use! The 11-in-1 credit card multi-tool is made of Solid 420 Stainless Steel – perfect for wallets, glove box, overnight bags and purses.  It easily Fits in Your Wallet – Only 2.68″ x 1.78″ x 0.079″, though it is thicker than a credit card.

The 2-inch serrated edge steel blade cuts through tough materials with ease such as seat belts or small trees.  This tool can be used in many situations! Plus this Amazon seller offers fast shipping unlike many of the others who sell this product shipping from China.

My Review


I love products that have multiple uses, and this 11-in-1 credit card milti-tool certainly has multiple uses! This tool has so many uses for being a small piece of steel the size of a credit card.

This too has so many different uses. I think the design of the tool is great but the location of the saw and knife could have used a bit more thought out. When you are trying to use one tool such as the screwdriver you are holding the sharp saw in your hand and there's a good chance of cutting yourself. This also hinders you from really getting a good torque on anything. As long as you're very careful, it shouldn't be a problem but you should be careful.  

The knife and saw are very sharp, so be sure to keep the 11-in-1 credit card multi-tool housed inside the protective sleeve to avoid an accident.

My Review


This stuff is great! I have been using this supplement for about a week now and have seen results already in how my hair feels and looks. My hair is incredibly thick and coarse and dry. I receive compliments on it often but I know that it is dry and I shed a lot of hair too. I know better than anyone when my hair is not as healthy as it should be, it wasn't before I started using this supplement.

Since using this product, I have noticed that my hair doesn't fall out as much which means less vacuuming. It doesn't break off at a midpoint or have a lot of split ends. And my hair just looks healthy, not dry, not weak, not greasy.

Whether used on the face or the body, this Dead Sea Mud Mask is a superb in-home spa treatment that will reveal more vibrant, refined, healthier skin.


My Review


I love that there's no mixing for this mask and no special prep to use this mask either. This dead sea mud mask is ready to use straight from the jar. This 16oz jar is going to last me a while! I love the tight feeling on my face when I use a mud mask and this one did not disappoint. Plus, the tightening and color change are a great indicator to let you know when the mask is ready to be removed. This 

My face was just glowing after I used this Dead Sea Mud Mask from InstaNatural! Not only did it look great, it felt just as amazing! Since receiving this Dead Sea Mud Mask, I have been using it about once a week, especially when I have breakouts or dry flaking skin. It works and it works great! I also love the fact that I can recognize, understand and pronounce every single ingredient included in this Dead Sea Mud Mask.

My Instagram
The jar is large so you get plenty of product and you do not need to use much (if you use a lot, it takes a long time to dry.) It is dead sea mud the cold grey look is conducive to 'mud' and it feels kind of slimy. It does not smell bad which is great as I'm sensitive to scent. The mask takes about 10 minutes to dry and it is easy to wash off.

Be sure to wash it off with warm water and rub your fingers in a circular motion. Use a good moisturizer after this mask because it does tend to dry your skin out but it does wonders to take off the flakes. Your skin will look very nice afterwards, shrunken pores and all.

Slow Cooker Recipes for Beginners Cookbook Review + Giveaway


Slow Cooker Recipes for Beginners is a great cookbook for people who like creative and modern food, similar to what would be served in a good restaurant. The recipes are easy to follow and simple. Whether you are new to using a slow cooker or and advanced cooker, the recipes in this cookbook are great!

The slow cooker is an amazingly versatile appliance that allows for easy creativity in any kitchen. In addition to classics such as spicy beef stew and chicken piccata you’ll learn how to use the freshest spices and ingredients to make dishes you never thought possible in a slow cooker.

The Slow Cooker Recipes for Beginners cookbook was designed for busy people who don’t want to sacrifice great-tasting, nutritious meals for time. The Slow Cooker Recipes for Beginners cookbook is an easy step-by-step guide to enjoying delicious, healthy meals without all the hassle.

  • The slow cooker is perfect for international dishes such as Mexican Meatballs and Greek Mushrooms.
  • Want to reduce the amount of meat you eat? The Slow Cooker Recipes for Beginners book contains a wealth of vegetarian recipes such as Ratatouille or Veggie Chili created especially for those not wanting to include meat.
  • Let the slow cooker take care of dessert. Chocolate Mousse and Cheesecake are just two of the amazing desserts included.
I received a digital copy of the Slow Cooker Recipes for Beginners cookbook and I will be giving away six copies now too! I have always liked using a slow cooker because it is so easy. Putting all the ingredients in the cooker and letting it do it's own thing is amazing!

I love that I can put together a meal the day before and let it cook over night or during the day, on low, while I am at work. In terms of tenderizing the meat, using a slow cooker gets them very juicy and makes them far easier to digest.

This book has some great recipes. I like curries but I have never made one on my own this cookbook has many recipes for curries that were simple to follow. This book has a great selection and the recipes are easy to follow. I found so many amazing recipes in this cookbook, ones I never thought of cooking in the past. Dessert in a slow cooker, who even thought of that?! This cookbook is easy to follow and has tasty recipes.

My Instagram
The cover of this cookbook looks really great and I thought that there would be more pictures of the cooked recipes in the book. There's not. A cookbook that lacks images is not helpful if you ask me. I tried out a few of the recipes and they were pretty good but very bland. But as a weight loss cookbook I kind of expected that.

Checkout this cookbook on Amazon by using one of the links to the right or enter my Instagram giveaway! You can find me on Instagram HERE. Plus, the Kindle version of the book will be free for download from Amazon between Feb. 15 - Feb. 17.

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.

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.

Inside Smarts Laundry Bags - Amazon

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.

There are 4 mesh laundry bags included, each featuring a durable zip top enclosure, and an assortment of sizes based on your washing needs. There is an elastic zipper guard to tuck away the zipper so no worries of the zipper getting stuck on anything in the wash and no noisy clanking in the dryer! One of the two larger bags is black for washing your darker colored items .

Another cool thing about these bags is that you can register them after purchasing to secure their 365-day Smart Wash Guarantee against any manufacturing defects. If you don't know what you can wash in the bags they also have videos to show you the best use for your laundry bags! I personally recommend these, awesome product!

My Review


These. Laundry. Bags. Are. Amazing! I'm pretty sure that's my review in it's entirety. Kidding, but it's nearly true!

I just cannot find a single thing about this that I don't LOVE. I have always used a laundry bag for washing my bras and it helps to keep the straps from being stretched out but other laundry bags usually have larger mesh with holes where the hooks get stuck and can get tangled. They are also very nice for keeping my knee high stockings and pantyhose together and the washer doesn't suck them up. Using a laundry bag for delicates and small items allows bras to keep their shape and small items like socks and stockings won't get lost.

These laundry bags have a tight mesh which allows water and soap to flow through but it will not allow the hooks or small items to exit the bag or get tangled!
