    improve your complexion, refresh and firm your skin while leaving it thoroughly cleansed. These salts will infuse your skin with Dead Sea minerals while removing dead skin cells, leaving your face radiant, smooth and refreshed. Eliminates Bacteria and excess oil Exfoliates dead skin cells and pore clogging particles Revitalizes and refreshes skin, revealing a new, healthy layer. Stimulates facial skin circulation and tightens pores Directions: Apply salt to a clean wet face and massage gently. Rinse off with warm water. Follow with Adovia Moisturizing Cream or Nourishing Night Cream.


These sparkly salt crystals are  much more that I could have wanted in an exfoliating product. 
I have used many other microdermabrasion at home treatments and I like them, but still compared them to regular face scrubs. I have never used a Salt scrub  on my face before now. 
I was worried and excited at the same time. I was worried my eyes were going to get salt in my eye and we all know what that feels like. Thankfully as many times as I have used it, that has never happened. I just take my wet fingertips and touch the top of the product in the container and start to scrub. I use the same method for each side of my face. If you are like me and love and extremely abrasive facial scrub then this will be the most abrasive scrub/microdermabrasion you will find. There is no lotion or cream and is strictly a dry salt scrub. As with sugar scrubs this will not melt away in a couple of seconds with the warm water like those do. This will let you scrub to your hearts desire. I usually use a scrub mostly every night, but with this it is definitely a once a week use. This is exactly what I thought a microdermabrasion should feel like. I think I scrubbed till I was scrubbed out. Also if you have any open blemishes be prepared for a little burning. 

While it is recommended for oily skin you can still use this at home microdermabrasion for dry skin too by adding olive oil to it or even another moisturizer or cleanser to get a clean scrub.
Overall I love this and it is extremely effective!

Temporary Designer Scripture Tattoos Review



Temporary Designer Scripture Tattoos Review








Product Description
Armed With Truth creates temporary designer tattoos of Scriptures to help remind people of truth found in the Bible throughout their day. Too often our days are full of fear, anxiety, or doubt, but now you can remind yourself of a higher truth about your identity or circumstances. They are also great tools for memorizing Scripture since they last 3-5 days. They look surprisingly real and attract a lot of compliments and questions



When I initially applied this 1st Temporary tattoo I did not make sure the edges were held down firmly which you can see the lifting of the third from the bottom line. 
If u look at the above wet napkin you can see I just laid it on and did not firmly hold it down.
Upon the next applications I helped the wet napkins firmly and the application was fine. 


This is after 3 days. I also do an at home beach body workout which I do planks on my forearms and other excersises in which I need to use my forearm on the floor. This is one reason the Title is more worn off than the rest. My forearms rubs against a Yoga mat.  On the 3rd day I was in swimming for a few hours and the swimming and chlorine I think wears it down because it was not this worn and light before I went swimming.. 

 The next application I held the down the wet napkin firmly. 







Overall each and every temporary tattoo application whether I had application error or not looked beautiful in my opinion.  Having these scriptures on my forearm are great for positive messages and to maintain positivity. It helps you memorize if you do not already know the scripture since it is right there on your wrist. 
The temporary tattoo is placed so you can read it for yourself. I think it looks amazing and would highly recommend these for fun and for a positive message for yourself. 


They are affordable as well you can get a 10 pack for under $10 and there are also unique designs and you can have custom made tattoos available as well.

Day by Day Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum Review

Day by Day Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum Review

The packaging is very sleek and stands out from the rest of my products. I appreciate that when it is delivered it has the dropper separate and sealed in a separate bag. This way you can open it and start using it when you are ready and know that it is completely sealed.

Hyaluronic acid is something known in the beauty world as the "fountain of youth". Umm yeah I am very interested in using a product that is known for that. Not sure how it got that name, but someone must have thought it was a miracle. 
Hyaluronic acid has a skin plumping effect and therefore makes you look younger because of the hydrating effect. Is also used to help with wound healing and is said to help with burns.


 Product Description
Day by Day Beauty's Hyaluronic Acid Serum is an ultra-light, gel formula that moisturizes the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. This product is best used along with our popular Vitamin C Serum.

Hyaluronic Acid provides a moisturized complexion that gives you that youthful and radiant look!

Day by Day Beauty's Hyaluronic Acid Serum delivers a BOOST of moisturize to any skin type - including aged, delicate & sensitive skin.
Additionally, Hyaluronic Acid holds moisture and adjusts its absorption rate based on your environment & air humidity levels. So this one skin Serum will deliver what YOUR skin needs, regardless of your skin type or location! With consistent use, you'll see a reduction in fine lines & wrinkles. Additionally, infused antioxidants will help protect your skin from environmental aggressors and free radicals.



 This one pump is enough to use over my whole face. There is no odor or irritation noted while using it. It is not drying and is in fact hydrating and this little pump goes a long way. I have been applying it every night and every morning. The additional good thing about the Day by Day Hyaluronic Acid Serum is the Vitamin C. This added benefit helps with my hyper pigmentation. I have been loving the texture of my skin. I am very into my skin care and have used many face serums, mostly Vitamin C serums. Although this has Vit C incorporated, I think this is perfect to add to my skin regime and I use this before my Vitamin C and moisturizer. I have noticed my skins texture improving. 


If you would like more information or are interested in getting your own Day by Day Hyaluronic acid serum check it out ----->HERE<-----on Amazon.

What is Exfolimate?

Have you heard of Exfolimate??
Before now I never heard of it. I was very intrigued so let me tell you about it

At first I was a little nervous about using it, but it all worked out. It comes with two sizes. A small for your face and a large one for the body. There are also nylon like strings to attach to your exfoliate if you desire, to hang it in your shower. I think that is a nice addition, since it will keep it from laying in water and getting germs to produce, since hanging lets it air dry easily.


Product Description
Exfolimate is a new breakthrough in Skincare technology. Using patented smooth edge micro groove technology, exfolimate gently releases dirt and oil embedded beneath your skin's surface. This radical deep-cleanse dramatically improves tone and texture, while reducing pore size, oily patches, dry areas and visible signs of aging. Use for a minute daily for fast rejuvenation or as part of your full beauty regime to transform your complexion. In addition to deeper cleansing, exfolimate offers users enhanced exfoliation and superior moisturisation by improving the absorption of Skincare products. It's safe for all skin types and leaves skin feeling softer and noticeably brighter and refreshed.        

• Provides deeper cleansing, enhanced exfoliation
and superior moisturisation
• Cleanses, refreshes and revives skin
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Leaves skin feeling softer and looking brighter
• Improves skin tone and texture
• Reduces dry spots and oily patches
• Increases the absorption of skin care products
• Safe for all skin types


The edges/blades on the exfoliate look terrifying, but are not sharp at all. It is thick and when using it it does not hurt, but be sure to use it on wet skin. Do not attempt to use it on dry skin. 

When using it on my face it is a little awkward at first because I have never used anything like this to "exfoliate". Usually when we think of exfoliation we thing a sponge with texture or a cleanser with micro beads or something similar. 

The exfolimate works well around my nose and on my cheeks. I can apply as much or as little pressure I need for each area. Using the large one all over my body and all my cushy spots works perfectly. LOL. I have even started to use it on my heels. When using it on thin areas like around my cheek bones and forehead doesn't work so well. I would like to see an improvement in the shape of the Exfolimate. while the shape is nice and it does not slip out of my hands, I wish the blade went around at least one edge. That would make it clean out the sides of my nose much better. When i use this around my nose it definitely clears out my pores, but is a tiny uncomfortable due to the edge, so if the blade went all the way around it would work better. Also if there was a more pliable side as well would be great for the more bony sites. 

I also usually use face wipes to remove my makeup and I have been using the exfoliate after in the shower and I am shocked that while my face looks clean there is still a ton of makeup that still comes off my face. Well I guess it is not cleaning as well as I thought. 

I would recommend you try it and I am sure you would be surprised like me to rub and look down on the exfoliate and see the dead skin cells right there. 

Ultimately I still use this nightly and happy to see how I get off all the gunk and makeup off my face that I thought was clean, but obviously not.

Adovia Mineral Eye Gel




I would like to mention I have been able to review multiple items from Adovia. I have loved most of them. Actually I cannot think of any product I did not like. Since this has been the case, I expect to feel the same for the Eye Cream as well. 

Thankfully I was not disappointed with this product. 

This is described as a gel, but upon opening it was a mixture of a cream and gel in one.  It is not clear as I would expect, and is not liquid or gel like. It does have a creamy texture, which in my opinion maintains the moisture a little longer.


I apply this twice a day under my eyes. I do however have to be careful not to apply too close to my eye because it tends to sneak up and into my eye. This does burn my eyes when it is applied to closely. I have just adjusted the application technique for this mineral eye gel. I suppose it is because of the Dead Sea Salt and Minerals. 

I real enjoy how smooth it is and how it leaves my under eye area very hydrated. I applied this one to one eye and another to the other eye and the eye with the Adovia eye get had much less creasing under the eye. The other product I used is a gel and I noticed my under eye makeup showing my fine lines under my eyes before lunch time. Not good. 


Product description:
  • Our Promise: Your Eyes will Look 10 Years Younger or Your Money Back! - Reduce Puffiness Under and Around The Eyes - Makes Eyes Appear Years Younger and Radiant!

    Gets Rid of Dark Circles Under Eyes - Your Eyes Will Look More Youthful and Refreshed!

    Formulated Specifically for The Genltle Area Around the Eyes - this Light Eye Gel Absorbs Quickly into Skin for Deep Hydration

    Dead Sea Salt Delivers an Immidiate Infusion of Dead Sea Minerals - Essential for Proper Skin Health and Beauty

    Contains Vitamin C which Delivers Powerful Antioxidants Deep Into Skin Cells


Ultimately the Vitamin E and Aloe Vera leaves my under eye feeling hydrated and has an amazing buttery texture that is easy to glide on. I was very please and am still very pleased with the ADOVIA mineral eye gel.

2 Joint Health Care for Dogs Review




We recently had a horrible experience with our dog. We have a Dashchund who are known to have back problems due to their body shape. We are not sure what exactly happened to our dog, but he was in SEVERE pain and was having difficulty walking and for sure could not jump. He was treated with injections and oral steroids due to a herniated disk. in his spine. He felt so much better with treatment, but every once in a while he would jump and cause pain to himself again. 
We have been so scared that he would permanently injure himself and did not know what to do. We all took extra care to prevent him from jumping and be very careful when walking him, nit to pull on his leash and it was hard for everyone. 

In just the first few days I have been giving this to my dog who is 7 years old, he thinks he is young again and has been jumping a lot. The only problem with that is that he has back problems and is not suppose to do that. On the other hand it shows us that he feels great! For that I would say if you want your dog to be happy and not have pain try this and it might work for you dog too.






Product Description
We are looking for quality reviews for our Joint supplement for dogs.  Which contains Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Vitamin C.  Our supplement helps dogs suffering from the pain of arthritis and hip dysplasia. Within 14 days, you’ll see less swelling and pain, and your dog will be happier and healthier.




It is recommended for my dog to have 1/2 tablet twice a day for the 1st 4-6 weeks then 1/2 tablet daily there after. 

Chondroitin and Glucosamine are well known for people to improve the joint health for us. So why not for dogs too. 

I have to say it is like life was brought back into our dogs life. We are so happy and please with the results of the Joint Health Care.  I would definitely recommend this if you have an older dog or a dog that had joint pain or has issues with walking. It is so worth a try. I am so so happy my dog has no more pain. He still is jumping and we still try very hard to have him be easy and act his age, but he doesn't want to. He feels young again I suppose.
