Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
The Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight dial is at first glance beautiful to looks at. When you use it for the first time you will be in awe of how beautiful a scale can actually be. I am completely surprised at how beautiful it is. It is very light weight and easy to use. It has a glass to and is able to weigh up to 400 lbs (180kg).  It runs off of 3 AAA batteries and the scale will notify you when the battery is running low.
There is no need to calibrate it and "zero" it out before use or anytime during or after continued use. It just works.
Off and lights on
on (lit) and lights dimmed

It can be used by everyone since it weighs in lbs and kg and the screen is very large and it can be read at any angle. You do not need to be right above it to read it.

Kg

You can also set an alarm on the Ozeri Scale and it will beep everyday at the same time to remind you to weigh yourself at the same time daily. No more forgetting to weigh in if you are one who want to do it daily. I love this feature. It is a simple button to press to turn it on or off. Just press it at the time you want to set it and all done.


You do not even need to have the lights on to weigh yourself since it has this amazing blue lighted panel. This picture below is in the dark.
Ok one last time, I really just LOVE this Ozeri Scale!

Energems review and enter to win a years supply too!

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

energems is really as they say: They are bite-sized and taste delicious. You can use them as an energy supplement instead of an energy drink or coffee. They are a hard coated gem made with real milk chocolate, B Vitamins, caffeine and a proprietary energy blend.
INFO:
Enhance memory, focus and concentration. There are 3 servings (9 gems) per box. A single serving  (3 gems) has the caffeine equivalent of 1 strong cup of coffee or 75mg of caffeine. Each gem has only 15 calories and less than 1 gram of fat.  Energems’ unique delivery system allows consumers to conveniently and discretely consume the appropriate amount of energy as needed, when needed.  












I actually loved the taste of all 3 energems (milk chocolate, peanut butter and mint) It's nice you can get a little sweet fix with the energems. There are no palpitations or jitters when devouring these little gems. If you need your caffeine on the go, this is a perfect way to get it in without having to carry your cup of coffee or energy drink with you. This little box  fits in any purse. I personally do not care for coffee and prefer an energy drink. Sometimes it is just not appropriate to carry a huge energy drink with you especially at work. I have to be honest and say it was hard to only eat 3 gems at a time. I really wanted to eat the whole box. I have tries other alternative energy variations like gum (NOT GOOD) and it actually made me gag and had to spit it out. These gems have no bitter flavor or after taste. I would eat the whole box, but won't since I do not think i need that kind of energy, but you can consume all 9 gems for max energy. 

You can purchase energems at Kangaroo Express, Dollar General, Circle K, Amazon.com and online at energems.net.
If you are interested and would like a chance to win a  6 month supply (6x12 count boxes) of energems check out the giveaway below hosted by energems.

Ageless Derma Natural Camoufleur Concealer Ivory Review


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

Ageless Derma Natural Camoufleur Concealer Ivory


This concealer is in a very nice and easy to open package. I like that it is in a pot like this with a window on top so you can see the shade without having to open up the container unnecessarily. 
The texture is extremely creamy and the color matches my skin perfectly so it is easy to use as a spot concealer on my areas of concern. I have been using it to cover my hyper pigmentation to my forehead and cheek areas. I do set it with a fine loose powder to keep it in place, but i do have to do some touch ups at the end of the day around 3pm (my touch up consists of blotting and a powder refresher). I usually apply my makeup around 5:30am and do not get home till after 5:30pm. Usually as soon as I get home I am running to get dressed for crossfit and I do not even remove my makeup before going. It continues to stay on even after working out.   

For those of you who are concerned with animal testing you will be happy to know that there is NO animal testing with the Ageless Derma products. AND it is paraben free. It is a win win. It is made with apple extracts and vitamins to help with nourishing the skin. 





If you have dry skin and need the added moisture this is an excellent concealer to use since it will not dry out your skin. The other plus, it is full coverage. 
In the above photo, this concealer is light, but on my face it is exactly perfect.

Nutra-Lift® Glycolic NonSoap Cleanser Review

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

Nutra-Lift® Glycolic NonSoap Cleanser Review

Product description: 
Nutra-Lift® Glycolic NonSoap Cleanser is a water-soluble gel cleanser with 10% glycolic acid (AHA), rose hips, lemon, grapefruit seed, chamomile, and calendula. Ingredient extracts that naturally include natural antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C and E. This Glycolic Cleanser gently and effectively removes all traces of makeup and accumulated grime while helping to dissolve cellular residue & unclog pores, thus revealing smoother, clearer, healthier, more radiant skin. Most importantly, it helps reduce pores size and evens out skin tone.

I haven't been so excited to try a product out as much as this. I have heard so many wonderful things about using a glycolic cleanser and am finally able to give my thought on the use of one. 

First about the company. I was pleasantly surprised with the abundance of products they have to offer. They have anything from this glycolic face wash, skin lighteners, moisturizers, makeup, cellulite cream and so much more.


The packaging is a very simple package and well that is fine with me since I believe the product is pretty awesome. It is a push top opening and is easy to dispense exactly the amount of product you want. 


The scent is strong and almost like a household cleanser smell. I have never used a glycolic cleanser so I am not sure if this is the typical scent or not. The consistency is very thin liquid and I was not expecting that. My first use I felt a little burning to one area of my face, but I also have a blemish in that area, I noticed right away my skin felt immediately softer after use so I was ecstatic. I was completely surprised that it did such a nice job cleansing my face with such a thin consistency. I also like the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties it has. It is great for clearing your skin of any blemishes. (remember that blemish i mentioned, it dried out in just a couple uses) 

I am loving my 1st experience with a glycolic cleanser.

Leather Charm Bracelet Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Leather Charm Bracelet Review


These bracelets have been all over the internet these past few months. I have been wanting to get one for the past few months. There are many variations from the colors used, types of charm designs and types of closures. 


The bracelet was sent in an envelope and was packaged well with the bracelet around a firm board holder and in a plastic covering. This is much better than being wrapped in just tissue paper and have to potential to get misshaped upon delivery. It is made of Leather, alloy, wax linen cord and suede.




I love that Penny Auctions Canada provides a lobster clasp closure. This makes it easier to take off and put on. You can also adjust the fitting to you wrist width. The links are a bit fragile, but I fell asleep with it on and it was still on when I woke up. 

Here are the different variations available

Ageless Derma Natural Pressed Mineral Foundation Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Ageless Derma Natural Pressed Mineral Foundation Review

First I must mention the packaging. It is a very sleek black with a strange texture that is very pleasing to the touch. It is in between a suede and velvet feel. It has a large sponge applicator and a large mirror on the interior of the compact. 

Product description and directions for use: 
With a soft and silky finish Ageless Derma Foundations are mineral cosmetics that feel as light as air to provide you with a radiant barely there glow. It creates a sheer natural coverage that will replenish the skin while it protects it and keeps it neutralized from free radicals that are so damaging to the skin.

The lighter texture of Ageless Derma Foundations makeup will allow the skin to breathe while it repels the humidity in the air. This dynamic mineral make up adds the finishing touch to your make-up routine leaving your skin with an air brushed look that is very appealing. This mineral makeup contains light reflecting properties that will create a smooth and silky finish to any skin type.

Directions:

Mix loose powder with Mineral Mist for a liquid foundation or with moisturizer for a creamy version.  Foundation is fine enough to use in an airbrush.  For a more opaque finish, apply Pressed Powder with our Luscious Dome or Capra Purse brush. Loose foundation should be used with the Luscious Kabuki brush to provide sheer coverage with a dewy flawless finish.  Finish by blending face with the Pink Flocked Sponge.
 

The color I have is Tawny, which sadly is quite dark for my skin tone. I did apply it to see the coverage. I personally do not like the sponge applicator provided and do not feel it gives an even application. Using a brush provides a more even application, but is quite messy as well since the powder is very fine. You can see in the above photo the fine powder on the inside of the compact. This is before any use. It is a light to medium coverage and the powder itself if silky soft to the touch and has an extremely light feel. It is very nice as a bronzer due to the dark shade compared to my skin tone.

Vitamin K1 8% Intensive Serum Review

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

Vitamin K1 8% Intensive Serum Review





I have not heard about any cream that could benefit and decrease any bruises, discolorations or spider veins. So when I received this in the mail I was ecstatic to try something new. I definitely did some research about using Vitamin K topically. To my surprise it is used by plastic surgeons and dermatologists to help with diminishing bruises and spider veins. With prolonged use Vitamin K is fat soluble and can be absorbed thru the skin and it helps to clot and strengthen the walls of small veins. 




I have a few areas of concern to my legs. The photo is just one spot and the largest area I have which is on my right outer thigh. After having 3 children and being on my legs standing for many years working as a nurse this is one of the many things that I suffer from. I have had this particular area on my leg for several months, nearly a year or so. 


Recommended usage: Shake well before use and apply gently twice a day on clean skin to affected areas. Results are not immediate and take up to 4 weeks. 


I have been using this for about 1 month. I have not been consistent on using it twice a day, but at the minimum once a day. Although in the photo it is hard to tell, I can see in person a big change. The area I have on my thigh has significantly diminished as well as the area surrounding it. I am pleasantly surprised with other areas on my legs that have disappeared. (mini spider veins)

I would say that this product does work. You must to be consistant and use it in your daily regime which is what I do after my shower in the evenings.  

Here are the two photos before and after. I do not think the photo shows how much the improvement is. The lighting is not exactly the same which may be the reason why it looks this way, but I am confident of the change for myself.

Skinny Jane "Weight Loss and Nutrition for Women" Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. 
Skinny Jane is something new to me. I have never heard of it and was exited to try something new for the new year to help me go in the right direction to improve my health and work with my fitness routine. 


Product info: Skinny Blend (Shake) has a special blend of 7 proteins that will curb your appetite for up to 4 hours and energize you. One serving has 100 calories, 1 gram of sugar, 3 grams of fiber and 12 grams of protein. Skinny Blend will boost your protein intake so you keep your metabolism high while you are losing weight.

I have tried all the flavors and they are delicious. The Vanilla is my Favorite! It tastes like a Vanilla ice cream that is starting to melt. YUM! I have noticed that when lunch approaches I really am not that hungry and do not feel the need to finish off my lunch. I have had leftovers every day. It definitely curbs me appetite.

Product info: Skinny Burn is a weight loss and fat burning supplement. It has 9 ingredients that work synergistically to help speed up your metabolism, boost your energy, and control your appetite. It contains Raspberry Ketones that have been proven to be very effective in burning body fat along with other ingredients that speed up your metabolism and curb your appetite.

The Skinny Burn is taken 30-45 minutes before the shake on an empty stomach. I was nervous to try it on an empty stomach cause I normally get nausea when I take any pills on an empty stomach, but I was fine. I did not have any side effects from this and as stated above at lunch I do not feel the need to finish my entire meal. These two work great together. 

Product info: Skinny Cleanse is a great weight loss aid because it will cleanse your body by removing toxins and impurities from your system. In turn, your body will be a much better fat burning machine. This is a gentle cleanse that is very safe and does not cause any stomach discomfort.

The 1st time I took this I felt fine until the following morning and I had a not so lovely morning. I took the 2 caps as directed. I must say I have never taken any sort of cleanse product and really didn't know what to expect, but thought it would be ok since the product info says it doesn't cause any stomach discomfort. In my opinion it did what it was suppose to do, but maybe 2 caps are a bit too strong and I could not use this on a daily basis for 1 week cause I am not home and well can I leave it at that. This is something that is better to use for me when I do not need to go anywhere. I think that says a lot. 

With that all said I think each product works well with each other, but he skinny cleanse is strong for me. I will use this when I know I have no plans to leave the house. It ultimately was a good experience and it did curb my appetite. If you are looking to try something like this, I would say try it. Everyone's body responds differently to everything.
