Garcinia Cambogia Advanced/Slender Cleanse Advanced Bundle Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

As most of my readers know, I am open to try most any products and, like most people, would love to lose a few pounds! I was chosen to try and review Garcinia Cambogia  Advanced/ Slender Cleanse Advanced Bundle. 



Sadly, I am unable to give an accurate review of this product because I am not part of the target audience. I did lose 2 pounds in two weeks of taking this product! However after contacting the manufacturer about why I was not losing more weight, I was informed that this product is for the individual who has more than 20 pounds to lose and lives a sedentary lifestyle.


With that being said, I only want to lose about 10-15 pounds and I am quite active (working out at the very minimum of 3 days a week and on average 4-5 days). This did explain why I was not losing as quickly as I had been expecting to. However, the fact that I am not the target consumer and I still lost 2 pounds....that can only mean good things for the intended customer.



I do want to mention, when I contacted the manufacturer....they were very quick to respond and very helpful. They were absolutely honest. They weren't just trying to get me to buy their product! They told me that they were "I'm happy it didn't work for you because that means you're healthier than 90% of my target audience (it feels funny to say I'm happy it doesn't work, but your health is more important to me) [than selling their product]". I think this is a great company, especially if they are so personable and honest. It shows true character and sincerity on their part.


I do want to share with my readers what the company says about their product:

Weight Loss and Fat Burning has Never Been Easier with Garcinia Cambogia Advanced and Super Cleanse!

The ULTIMATE WEIGHT LOSE BUNDLE!

Your FAVORITE TV Doctor demands
-Where did the Fruit come from?

Picture Collage Maker Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

As a blogger and mother, I am always making photo collages and trying to put multiple pictures into one picture so I can upload easier and share more! Then as a independent distributor of ACE and all SABA products, I am ALWAYS making before and after pictures of my customers that are losing so much weight! So as you can expect, I use many photo collage sites and programs. While I have found a few that I like....I was yet to find any one program that did all the things that I wanted it to do! Until now......

I have been chosen to review the Picture Collage Maker. I have to say this is the BEST photo collage software that I have came across thus far. That means something because I have used MANY different programs such as Fotor, PicMonkey, PiZap, Collage It, Photoscape, etc. With Picture Collage Maker you have so many choices and options to use!

When you first start the program you have four options to choose from:


For this collage that I made I chose the option "Template Collage Wizard"! Then once I chose that another window popped up to upload the photos that I wanted to use. I did this and then clicked to make my collage. Another window with a lot of other options popped up. This is that screen:


For this I thought all of the options were just so amazing! There are so many different things that you can make with this software. I ended up choosing collage on the left and then choosing "photo wall 002". This is the resulting photo collage that I made!


Now this is what I thought was the finished product so I clicked save photo and then clicked next. That's where I was wrong. It brought me to a new screen where I could do so many more edits and adjustments to this collage! Here is my end product after I edited and adjusted it to my liking:


 Now I have not tried all the different settings and options yet because there are so many different ones. I did want to show a few more that I have made using this software though.



I want to share a little of what the company says about their product:

"

  • 150+ gorgeous templates for many occasions help you create photo collages, scrapbooks, posters, invitations, calendars, and greeting cards, etc.

You can purchase this program here for just $29.90.

Valentia Vitamin C Serum Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I have been looking for something that would be effective to use on my skin for the fine lines and wrinkles but I wanted it to even out my skin too! Everything that I was finding either had reviews stating that it was oily and caused breakouts or was extremely expensive. I wanted something that worked and was a reasonable price. So you just imagine how excited I was to be asked to write a review on Valentia Vitamin C Serum after I tried it.



I gave it a try! The first thing I noticed about this product is that it was thicker than I thought it was going to be. Most product that I have tried are watery or oily and very thin. This Vitamin C serum is what I would actually consider a 'serum'. It is thicker and has substance to it. I like how smooth it went on. Another plus was that I only needed about half a dropperful in order to cover my whole face. The other thing that I like about this product is that it absorbs quickly! I don't have to wait for the absorption to be finished. It is pretty instantaneous.



The way I use the product is a little different than some people may. During the week (Monday through Friday), I get up and get my daughter off to school, make and eat breakfast, and then get on the treadmill. After my work out, I take a shower. When I get out of the shower and get dressed.....I put my vitamin C serum on. Then on the weekends, since I usually take those two days off of the treadmill, I wait until just before bed to use my Vitamin C serum. That way it has all night to work. With this being said, I have to say that....when I go to bed on the weeknights, my skin still feels soft and smooth and it isn't really greasy (like it has been with other vitamin C serums that I have tried). Then on the weekends, I love how when I wake up on Sunday morning my face feels so soft and smooth! It looks refreshed and primed for the day!


I wanted to share a few things that the maker's of the product have to say about the product:

"Valentia Skin Care NEW - EVEN GLOW SERUM - 20% Vitamin C - Natural & Organic Ingredients -

98% Natural Ingredients (see below for a description of our Key Ingredients chosen specifically to enchance Vitamin C efficacy on the skin)

  • EVENS SKIN TONE:
    Vanquish dark spots and skin discoloration, replacing uneven and ill-textured skin with smooth, wrinkle-free skin that leaves you looking flawless and ageless.

    INCREASES GLOW & RADIANCE:
    Revitalize your skin with essential fatty acids that leave skin smooth and visibly brighter. Smooth skin capable of reflecting light will give your skin a youthful glow and a brilliant shine for that well-rested and refreshed look.

    ABSORBS RAPIDLY:
    Moisturizes skin due to the capacity of the hyaluronic acid to absorb water, thereby increasing fluid between cells, giving your skin a smoother and younger appearance. This intense water absorption means no more dry, peeling or cracked skin, even in extreme weather.

    BOOSTS COLLAGEN PRODUCTION:
    The presence of Organic Rosehip Seed oil to support Vitamin C increases collagen production so your skin retains the elasticity responsible for a youthful appearance and prevents skin sagging associated with aging. Enjoy smooth and supple skin that takes years off your appearance.

    REDUCES WRINKLES & FINE LINES:
    Reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles with the help of our foundation 20 % Vitamin C. Special ingredients such us Hyaluronic Acid and Organic Sea Buckthorn oil work to plump up the skin, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles in the skin so it is smoother, clearer and younger."

Overall, I really like this product! I will be purchasing it in the future! If you are looking for a great facial product to help with fine lines and evening out your skin.....I would say give this one a try! Plus at just $35, it's a steal!

Ozeri Digital Blood Pressure Monitor Review

Today I am reviewing the Ozeri Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. This was a blessing in disguise because my husband has been recently monitored because his doctors think he may have high blood pressure. 




I do really like this product! It is very easy to use. It walks you through every step to get your blood pressure reading. When you put the monitor on your wrist it is a velcro closure to keep it on. Turn it on and the woman's voice comes on and tells you to hold your wrist level with your heart. If your wrist is too low or too high she will tell you. Then you just move it either up or down until she says it is level. Once you have your wrist in the right place she will tell you to be still and the cuff will tighten to get your blood pressure and pulse rate. The reading will come up on the screen and she will inform you if your blood pressure is high, low, or optimal.



The one thing that may be frustrating to some people is it tends to be a longer process to get your blood pressure read than with other blood pressure monitors that I have used. This is because she talks you through the whole process. However, that is part of what I love about this monitor over other monitors.

I think her talking you through the process is a great feature for older individuals as well! The walk through by the product makes the product extremely easy to use and a very minimal margin for error. The screen is pretty large with large numbers which makes it easy to read, as well. There is also a hard case included in the box for the monitor that you can store the monitor in.



I think if you are looking for a new blood pressure monitor and you want something that is easy to use and GREAT quality, then this is the one that you want to buy.

Adovia Dead Sea Mud Mask Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Today I am excited to share with you, my readers, an awesome product! The product is

Adovia Dead Sea Mud Mask!



First I want to give you a little back story..... I have been having some serious issues with breaking out and noticing that my pores are more visible than I would like them to be. So, I have been looking for a good product to help me with these issues. I have been doing a lot of research and product comparisons online, trying to find the perfect product to meet my needs. The major concerns that I ran into with my research were:

1. I couldn't find a acne/blemish product that didn't completely dry you out or didn't cause more blemishes in the end.
2. Most products had reviews complaining of horrible scent to the products or a greasy feeling.
3. The price of the products! Some ranging from $45-$75 and some upwards of $100 or more.

Now with all that, I have been very weary to purchase a product. Then I was offered this review. I figured why not give it a chance? I have nothing to lose! So that is just what I did!


I am so glad that I decided to give this a try! I found out that I really enjoy this product, more than I ever imagined that I would. 

The mud mask is very smooth and creamy. It goes on thick but it is NOT greasy at all. It is really easy to apply. Simply squeeze some out of the tube onto your fingers. Apply to your face by smoothing with your fingers. Let dry for about 10-15 minutes and then simply rinse off! 

I want to share what the company says about the product:

"
  • Facial Mask Tightens and Purifies Pores leaving Clear, Younger Complexion
  • Dead Sea Mud Quickly Reduces Acne and Pimples
  • Over 21 Minerals Present in Dead Sea Mud Mask help to keep skin healthier and act as acne treatment
  • A Facial Dead Sea Mud Mask Facial Treatmet in Spas cost from $70-120. This Mask contains 30 Sessions!
  • Can be Used as Spot Treatment & Blackhead Remover "

I want to say that I can attest to some of these statements. I could definitely tell, after just one use, that it tightened my skin and reduced my pimples. My face felt cleaner and less greasy for a few DAYS afterwards, too! I absolutely LOVE this product! I will definitely be purchasing this product again! The best part...its only $30!

Pure Colon Detox Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I was recently chosen to try out this new colon detox. I was unsure about it but in the end I have to say that I was impressed.




Personally, I have tried a few different "colon detox" pills! Some I liked and some not so much! I have to say that this one is most definitely in my top three!

I really like how this one, does NOT require any specific diet. I also like that you can take your two pills a day and still perform your day to day activities without having to be in the bathroom for 3/4 of the day! Now don't get me wrong.....it DOES clear you out but it doesn't demand so much time as other colon detoxes that I have tried!

I took mine before bed each night and then in the morning I would have a bowl of cereal and (try to) drink a full glass of water. Then, I would need to use the rest room about 20-30 minutes later! After a week of this procedure, I felt truly amazing! I felt like my system had been cleared of all the "junk" and needless compounds! I feel lighter on my feet and much less "weighed down"!

I do plan to use this product again in 3-4 weeks to clear my system again!

I want to note.....I lost 3 pounds just by taking this cleanse for 7 days! :) I think, if nothing else, this is a HUGE plus!



This is what the manufacturer has to say about this Colon Detox:

Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Do you use a mirror in the shower? Have you ever thought about it? I know that I enjoy being able to pluck my eyebrows in the shower while the warm water has my pores nice and open! In order to do that...I have to use a mirror in the shower to see my eyebrows. With this being said, you can imagine how excited I was when I was chosen to review Cassani's fogless shower mirror! 







I REALLY like this mirror! I have never had a fogless mirror for my shower before and I regret it. The mirrors that I have been using in the shower are always regular mirrors and when they get foggy, I just run them through the water and continue to use them. The problem with this is that the mirror would fog every few seconds and so I would continually be rinsing it in the water! After receiving this mirror, I have a new found love for fogless mirrors!



Also, my husband used to shave in the sink in the bathroom and leave his shave clippings all over the sink and counter. Well, even he has found that he loves the fogless shower mirror! He is able to shave in the shower and not make a mess all over the counter and sink. The mess washes right down the drain without any clean up and he states how much easier it is for him! (Another plus for me, one less mess that I have to clean up!) Another plus about this mirror, it comes with a hook to hang your razor on too!! 



The only thing that I can say that I changed/didn't use is the hook to hang it and the razor hook. While I think they are both perfect additions to the mirror itself...I am renting my apartment and was unsure if I would be able to easily remove them when I moved out. (I don't want to have to pay for a hook that I put up in the shower because I was unable to remove it.) So I did not use the razor hook or the mirror hanging hook. I did go to Wal-Mart and purchase a Command water resistant hook that was easily removable. The mirror hangs on this well and I know that I will be able to remove the hook without anything left behind.


Here is what the company has to say about this product:

"Achieve A Flawless Shave Every Time   Why Shave In The Shower?

Warm and Clean
Instead of letting your razor sit on the sink, keep your razor both clean and warm under the hot spray of the shower.
Plus, no more messy sinks = Bonus points with the ladies.

Razor Burn Be Gone!
It's itchy, it stings and it leaves unsightly bumps that leave you feeling self-conscious. The steam from a nice hot shower softens hair and skin, while also opening up the pores for a closer shave, helping you say "Goodbye!" to razor burn

Continuous Hydration
It may not be seen as "manly" to worry about keeping your skin moist, but moist skin helps you get the most effective shave every time. Because really, who wants to look like they haven't shaved in days after waking up early to have time for a clean shave?

Modern Facial Contour Design
Our improved design was voted on by thousands of customers. The new Fogless Mirror has added width and height to match the shape of your face and neckline, making the best use of space in any shower

Included With The Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror
1 Stainless Steel Mirror Wall Mount
1 Stainless Steel Shaving Razor Wall Mount
1 Shatter-Proof Fogless Shower Mirror

How To Use The Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror
Simply place the stainless steel wall mounts where they are most convenient in your shower, affix your shower mirror and personal razor. And you are ready to shave!

Our Anti-Fog Nanotechnology repels fog and allows you to focus on getting your best shave possible... every time. :)  "

If you frequently use a mirror in the shower or think that you may be interested in doing so....this is the mirror that I would recommend! I have had a GREAT experience with this mirror and it does NOT fog at all! I also have had no problems with water spots or anything of the sort!
