Bigger Nut Milk Bag review







This is definitely much larger thank my other bags I have.




The mesh is a very fine mesh and double reinforced seams, so I don't have to worry about breakage or tearing. It is very sturdy and feel like it is stronger as well. 


I often use it with this dish. My spaghetti squash gets quite watered down when it is sitting out for a while after baking it. It is perfect to eat right away. If I am going to have some for lunch the next day I usually need to drain it so my lunch isn't a watery mess. This is the way I drain my spaghetti squash. I hang it from the the cabinet above my microwave and go work out. Then when I am finished working out it is usually nearly finishes draining. I only have to do one squeeze and it is done. The bag is strong and shows no signs of tearing. I just fluff up my squash and store in another bowl for the following day. 


This is the only way it works for me. Strainers are a mess and never drains properly. This is the easiest way to drain anything in my opinion.

Vitamin C Facial Toner Review

Vitamin C Facial Toner Review


Toners are great to prep the skin for the rest of your skin care regimen. It can also be used to cleanse your skin as well. Often times when I have already cleansed my face when I use my finer after and wipe with a clean cotton pad I still have makeup residue left on my skiing. The toner helps clean and clear my face for the best absorption of my other facial products. It is also cooling upon misting.





I love that this has a sprayer and I love the way it feels on my face. I appreciate having a toner and this one has Vit C for anti-aging and skin clearing, which is an added bonus to any toner. 
The scent is a bit strong, but most toners have a strong scent. I also love the vibrant packaging that it has as well! I use this as the first step after my cleansed skin. the sprayer I had was a bit off though.  The spray or mist seemed to spray the top and bottom and left the center without. Other than that I really love  it and use this every day.

YUMI Beautiful Rose Hip Oil review








First before I talk about the product I want to mention the beautiful design on the label and box. Just that alone would probably want you to choose this over anything else. It is a beautiful girly design that is a pleasure to look at. On to the Oil, I love the way this feel and smells. To me it smells like fresh tea which is something I personally like. I use 2-3 drops to my hand and then blend all over my face and neck. I keep this on at my bed side so I can apply it right before bed. This give my other face products time to set in before my Rose Hip oil. When I wake up I feel my face smoother and have been loving the results.




PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: 
What Makes YĆ¼mi Rose Hips Serum So Special?
Organic, cold-pressed rose hip oil is a natural source of antioxidants, Vitamin C, and Trans-Retinoic Acid (a type of vitamin A that retinol converts to).

Argan Oil Hair Mask Review

Argan Oil Hair Mask









I was excited to try a new hair treatment. I have very long, slightly wavy hair. I am always looking for something to treat an maintain my hair's shine as well as maintain it. I took a long break from Hot tools, but recently started flat ironing my hair again. I have noticed a difference in the texture and the need for special treatment to my hair. I often do hair masks to treat my color treated and heat damaged hair. I do make that extra effort and think it shows. I often get told my hair looks very healthy and shiny. 






InstaNatural now has a "Superior Hydration Argan Oil" hair mask. It comes in an 8oz tub. Upon opening the scent is quite nice and sweet, almost like candy. The texture and consistency is very think and creamy. 

When I used it initially I thought I would only need a little due to the consistency, but when I rinsed after 5 minutes, my hair didn't feel deep conditioned at all. I had a hard time brushing through it. The following times I use a large amount since my hair is down to my lower back, near my waist. That is the only thing I wish I didn't have to do. I often times have to use extra conditioners to achieve conditioned hair. 

I am almost finished using it and I think it is a good deep conditioning treatment. My hair also felt like it had more volume, which for me is a good thing. I have flat hair and am always looking for something to give it some oomph, without the use of hairspray since hairspray causes my skin to break out. I did like the consistency, scent and texture. 
If there is one thing I would suggest is a different would be a change in the packaging. 
If it was in a tube with a flip cap would be great to dispense it easier since it is a little complicated when you are in the shower holding the tub in one hand, opening the lid with the other and scooping out with the hand holing the lid, then trying to close the lid with a hand full of conditioner. 



Product Description
Our Argan Oil Hair Mask is a deep conditioning treatment designed to transform dry and damaged strands into soft, shiny, healthy hair. Its restorative ingredients - such as Argan Oil, Japanese Green Tea, Amino Acid Complex, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil & Vitamin B5 - work together to penetrate hair deep down and deliver ultimate nourishment and hydration to enhance texture and shine. This intensive blend full of organic ingredients also serves to strengthen hair to defend against heat damage and other external aggressors.

Key Active Ingredients:
+ Argan Oil
+ Amino Acid Complex
+ Coconut Oil
+ Shea Butter
+ Vitamin B5

At home Gel-Peel review



I actually LOVE this cleanser. It has a light scent and the texture is a bit different than I have used. It is a bit gel and aloe like. It feels amazing on my skin and my face feels so clean after. I did not expect to love it so much. I use this nightly and wish it came in a large size. It cleanses very well and I like to use a soft sponge with it.



This was my first experience with an at home fruit acid peel. I was expecting a serious burning sensation. That did not happen, I did however feet a little stinging in some random spots. The dropper is nice to get a limited amount of product and is easy to use. I do keep it in my shower and use it after cleansing. I have used weekly for about 4 weeks. Initially the stinging scared me and i rinsed it off in under 1 minute. The next times I left it on longer, per instruction you can leave it on from 1-3 minutes. I was using it 1 minute and am now up to 3 minutes. I feel like my tone and texture is better. I am more comfortable using this and not afraid of burning my face. It is something I really want to continue to use and see my skin texture and brightness improve. My hubby has been asking me if I have been doing something to my skin. I do take care of my skin and I think this is a great addition to my weekly regimen.

Phantom Fit Wrist Wraps Review


Phantom Fit Wrist Wraps Review

I was more than excited for these wrist bands. I have tried another Phantom Fit product and loved it, the quality is superb and I was expecting the same of these. Exercise is a love of mine and weight lifting is part of it. 
These are sturdy and made at the highest quality. There seems like a lot of thought that went into the making of these wrist wraps. This if not only protective to the wrists but easy to apply. The thumb holes are perfect to help apply without needing a third arm or using your waist to hold the wrap in place before application.

This will fit both men and women, large and small wrists. 







 I love the support I have for my wrists now and wish I would have gotten these a long time ago.  Doing Crossfit for over 3 years and during heavy lift I sometimes would have wrist strains here and there. This would have been very helpful during those heavy lifts. Now if they could only invent one with palm protectors attached to keep me from getting blisters.

I now work out at home and this is just what we both needed for our weight lifting days. 
 It make lifting weight a lot more comfortable. I feel a lot more stable and I wish I had this a long time ago. It really makes a difference in my work out. The wide band and thick material is perfect. I can't say enough about these wrist straps! LOVE!

Epica Clear Cotton Ball & Swab Organizer Review

Epica Clear Cotton Ball & Swab Organizer Review

This is a great addition to any bathroom decor. The clear acrylic container is very sturdy and thick. It feels like a great quality and does not appear it will not warp or dull over time. 


This is advertised for cotton balls and swab applicators, but I found a better use for my personal reasons. 

I tried a few different things to place in my containers
 

My favorite and final way to use this is using the smaller side with some of my perfume samples (approx. 16). I have many more perfume samples and this is a great way to keep them in view and use up my samples. No longer out of site and out of mind. This is great. Adding a few of my favorite lip gloss tubes in the larger side is great too cause I also love the view of the lip colors. It is a beautiful pop of color.






Check it out below if you are interested in getting one for yourself.
If you get one, what would you store in there?

Product Description
Are your personal hygiene essentials buried in a drawer because the plastic bags and cardboard boxes they came in are so ugly and messy? There's a better way!

New Purex Crystals Aromatherapy Giveaway

New Purex Crystals

I have been a fan of Purex for years. I started out using the Laundry detergent. I initially purchased because of my tight budget and the amazing deals and coupon deals there are with Purex products. I fell in love and knew that just because a product's price point is lower than others doesn't mean it is "cheap". I always have Purex detergent, fabric softener and scent boosters on hand. I get a little worried when I start to run low. 
Energy (Yellow)
Serenity (teal blue)

I received the pink one in Well being.

"Well being" is a fresh floral scent that is long lasting in the wash. All you have to do is toss a cap full in the bottom of the washer, then load up your dirty clothes and do the rest as usual.


Toss in your laundry as usual and finish it all off. 




 I decided to do something different and use it as a fabric wrinkle releaser. The beads dissolve almost instantly, but the residual settles, but I just shake it up and done. Wrinkles no more and it smells great! 

There are tons of ways to use the Purex crystals than the typical way. Check out my previous posts on Purex Crystals HERE and HERE
