Vanilla Mint Deodorant Creme Review + Giveaway

I really liked opening this up and smelling it, it reminds me of candy that my mom used to give me when I was little. This is a very minty scent, although one of my friends said they thought it smelled slightly of sun screen. I did not really notice that though. This feels really nice against my skin. There has been some stink, but that has mostly been when I have forgotten to use it. I have been working on detoxifying, and I do believe that the stench is lessening as I continue to use this. I know I'm going to be sad when this is gone.

Information from seller:

"If you have been using anti-perspirants be advised that your body will detox for approximately 4-15 days! Yes you may (gasp!) stink! All anti-perspirants work by inhibiting normal sweat gland function. As your body tries to remove the toxic buildup through sweat, an odor may be present as a result. It's a natural process that should not be blocked! Anti-perspirants work by either clogging the pores or shrinking the sweat glands, the ingredients that are used for this are usually different forms of aluminum which has been linked to breast cancer, Alzheimer's and many other ailments!

Our deodorants work simply by fighting bacteria and providing a pleasant scent to the underarms! Using a Bella Organics deodorant is a much healthier option even if it will NOT stop you from sweating.

If you were using an anti-perspirant right before purchasing our Bella Organics Creme Deodorant here are some ways to shorten the detox period! Just as it took time for toxins to build up with months or years of blocked pores, it takes a little bit of time to get them out. Let your body remove them naturally with a few simple steps! Resist the temptation to use your anti-perspirant! It will only prolong the detox period!

EXFOLIATE YOUR PITS! Use a loofah, a dry-brush, Dead Sea salt scrubs and organic or natural soaps. This will exfoliate the outer layer of the skin and allow for a quicker detoxifying period. Do this every day when eliminating toxins! Please try not to use any anti-bacterial detergents, they contain toxic substances that have no business being on a delicate area such as the armpits.

IF YOU ARE BRAVE, SWEAT IT OUT AT THE GYM! Sweat will release the toxins out of your system faster, follow up with a steam or sauna!

WEAR ONLY NATURAL FIBERS! Clothing made from hemp, bamboo and cotton are your best options. They help wick perspiration from your body and will not stick to you when you sweat. Avoid synthetics as much as possible, clothing made from polyester and other synthetics literally trap the sweat and allow the bacteria to reproduce in a warm/moist environment!

EAT FRESH, UNPROCESSED FOODS AND LIMIT RED MEAT! Studies have shown that diets heavy in red meats increase the likelihood of heavier sweating!

We recommend trying our other scents, not all essential oil blends will work equally for all body chemistries.

Deodorant Care Tips: If your deodorant has melted place the jar in the refrigerator for 1 hour. After it has cooled mix a few times to incorporate the oils evenly in case they became separated. The deodorant effectiveness will not be compromised, thought the texture may be affected in some cases."

White Chalk Markers by Colore - 2 Pack - Video Review

These markers write on non-porous (slick) surfaces really well, while writing I did not need to apply very much pressure. I got a decent mark with no pressure at all, however, with pressure I was able to get a very vivid white on my mirror. The instructions for use were very clear, and although I read them, I still goofed up. And by goof up I mean that I had shaken the marker, and it was not writing yet, so... I shook the pen without the lid on once or twice and got splatters on my jeans. I'm just glad I was in my at-home jeans. So my advice, make sure the lid is ON when you're shaking it.

Wiping these markers off you can do it either with a dry piece of toilet paper or as I did in my video, with a wet piece of fabric. I like using the wet fabric just because I know that I will get it off, it may smudge some but it's still easy to completely clean.

These are really great for all ages, from drawing a great masterpiece at the age of 3 (per recommendation of the label on the marker) to leaving a note for a loved one to read later at 99.

Pros:

* Easy to use

* Easy to remove

* Writes clearly

* Very little pressure needed to write

Cons:

* Takes forever to get ink into the tip the first time

* When writing on vertical surfaces, need to shake the marker from time to time

You can check out these markers at their website HERE or on Amazon HERE.

Polka Dot Wall Decals by Bobee Review

I was a little skeptical when I ordered these, because I've always known decals to leave a residue behind even when pealed off almost immediately afterwards. I liked the idea behind these though so I wanted to give them a go! I'm so glad I did, I had fun playing around with the different circles, and above is actually a picture of them in action. There was no residue left behind when I pealed them off, and the colors look really nice. I live in an apartment where I cannot change the colors of my walls, and while the picture was taken in the kitchen, the stickers soon found their ways into the bedrooms and the splashes of color made the rooms feel a lot more cheery. I love how the decals are not all the same size, or even the same design. I used the plain circles for my picture but there are three different designs, and five different sizes!

You can check out these decals HERE (Amazon) or HERE (their website).

RFID Blocking Sleeves, BLOCKIT Credit Card Review

I will start off by saying that these RFID blocking sleeves do work. The issue I had at the beginning with using them though is there is no wiggle room for the cards, and getting a card in and out of the sleeve was a pretty sizable task. However, the more the sleeve was broken in, the easier it has become to put the cards in as well as remove them. I would suggest, if it were possible, to even change the length of the sleeve to be a millimeter or two longer, to help ease with taking the card in and out. Right now though, I can guarantee that my card will not slip out of the sleeve if I don't want it to, it still takes a very deliberate tug to get the card to come out. When I tested this, I used a card that unlocks doors, and when it was in the sleeve the door would not unlock. This makes me feel that people trying to get any information from me would not be able to do so, if I could not use it to unlock the door. The sleeve is a little pricy, but for peace of mind, for protection, I think that this is well worth the price.

You can check out these sleeves on Amazon HERE or their website HERE.

Luxury 1000 Thread 100% Cotton Sheets Review

I'll start by saying this. I needed, needed new sheets. I had paid $7 for my last set of sheets, and they are bright pink and from Big Lots. Granted, I don't mind the color too much, nor is the quality bad per say, but my husband was definitely not happy about the pink sheets. So when these sheets (pictured above) showed up in my mailbox, I was ecstatic. Then I opened the zipper and reached in to pull out the sheets... My goodness they feel amazing! I know that I will have to be careful not to get stains on these sheets, but oh how they feel! I definitely could not wait to burrow into these sheets. The cotton keeps me cool without me being cold, and I didn't feel like I would get tripped up going across the bed. I definitely do recommend these to people who are wanting to get new sheets, I do feel these are worth it.I would show a picture of these in action, but I just could not get an angle to do them justice (king bed in a tiny room means no walking space around the bed).

You can check them out on Amazon HERE.

Spark and Bee Premium Baby Stroller Organizer Review

This stroller organizer is amazing! I have a hard time it seems getting my cups and other things fitting into the area provided by my stroller, and I love the fact that this is collapsible. When I don't need to use it it compresses extremely well and can be put in the basket of the stroller and take up hardly any room at all. The fact that the middle compartment is magnetic is a nice touch for me, because I always seem to be fighting with Velcro, I cannot understand why almost everything baby-related has to use Velcro!  This fit nicely on my stroller, being as there are two ways for you to secure it. The securing part is Velcro, however, the Velcro does help the stroller organizer stay in place, which is something that is extremely necessary when your out and about. I am so glad that I was able to test this so soon, I got it in hopes of good weather to be able to use this and lo and behold, days after I got this in the mail the weather went from snow to shorts weather!

goPURE Fractionated Coconut Oil Review

USES FOR FRACTIONATED COCONUT OIL

The scent for this brand is very mild, but pleasant. I have not had a chance yet to test other brands, but I hope to do so soon! I am always on the look out for trying new things, and I always like to have two or three things so that I know that I truly like one over others. This brand though sure is setting the standards high!

It did not leave a greasy feel to my skin and has made the rough spots softer. I was a little bit surprised the first time I used coconut oil, I had heard before that is good for lotions, and I expected to not have an oily feel afterward. I did not mind that, because the feeling went away quickly, and even after not using it for a day, my hands still feel the effects of the oil.

When combined with the right essential oils it makes a really nice, I mean, really nice, massage. I love the fact that I don't have to use the entire bottle immediately, since it is not supposed to go rancid for quite some time.

To check out this pretty amazing oil, you can go to their Amazon page HERE, Facebook page HERE, or their official website HERE.
