Sun Si'Belle Moisturizing Tinted Sunscreen Review

The Sun Si'Belle tinted moisturizing sunscreen is just what I needed! I love to wear makeup, even in the summer, so for me, sunscreen on my face is not an option. It just made the makeup feel too heavy. With this tinted sunscreen, I can eliminate the foundation and replace it with the tinted sunscreen, giving me SPF 30 protection. My face usually is the first thing to end up burnt when I am outside all day, so I am looking forward to using this from now on. It has a light feel to it, with a pleasant scent. The best part is that it has vitamin Cc and minerals in it to help your skin! I received this product in exchange for an honest review. You can find it here.

Pratipad Multipurpose Silicone Potholder Review

Let me just say that the Pratipad Multipurpose Silicone Pot Holders are like the Swiss Army Knife of potholders! I've only had them a few days, but they've been potholders, hot pads, non-slip grips, and jar openers. They are lightweight, with a cute little design on them. I will say, however, that the design will leave this cool alien look on your hands after using them..lol. You can't feel the heath through them at all. I first used it on my cast iron skillet, and I am sure everyone will agree that the handles on those skillets get very, very hot. They do not have a coating on them or a plastic handle or anything, just straight cast iron, so they have nothing to absorb that heat. With these potholders, I didn't feel a bit of that heat coming through at all! These potholders come with a lifetime guarantee, so that right there should tell you they are good and built to last!

Healthy Cell Multivitamin

The Healthy Cell Multivitamin is packed full of more than 90 vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytonutrients.These are not your ordinary multivitamin at all! They help with energy sleep issues, focus, and even hair, nails, and skin! You just take 2 in the morning and 2 at night. As a passenger on the "struggle bus" that so many people ride, I am not one to remember to take vitamins on a daily basis. I usually remember a couple of times a week at best. With these vitamins, they do so much that it makes me WANT to take them, so I tend to remember easier. The benefits are just plentiful. I am on a new journey to a healthier lifestyle, and while I am struggling with the whole change, these multivitamins are going to help me get there. I received this product in exchange for an honest review and the opinions are my own. You can find them on Amazon, here.

Pop Chart Lab Classic Car Poster Review

The Pop Chart Lab Classic Car Poster comes neatly packaged in a nice, sturdy storage tube that has cap closures on both ends. The art itself is nice and very well done. I love the personal artist touch with the individual number done by hand on the bottom of the print. This print depicts automobiles from the year 1895 all of the way through 2013. It isn't an ordinary cheap poster you buy at your local store, but rather it is made of heavy paper that will last a long time. You can find a frame for it in any craft store and easily turn this from a poster into an exquisite art hanging. I received this item in exchange for an honest review. You can find them on Amazon, here.

Advanta Supplement Teeth Whitening Kit + GIVEAWAY!!!!

If you are like me, you drink coffee and soda, which discolor your teeth. You use whitening toothpaste, and even use baking soda mixed with peroxide, but get little to no results. Until now. The Advanta White teeth whitening kit is remarkable. After just one use, I noticed a whiter smile. It is very easy to use, and literally takes just minutes to do. Before you use the kit, you will need to submerge the mouthpieces in boiling water for approximately 3-4 seconds, then put into your mouth and suck the air out. This will help the mouthpiece to form to your gum/tooth shape and give you better whitening. After you have done that, all you have to do is take the syringe that holds the whitening gel and place a small amount of gel into each tooth spot on the mouthpiece. Place it in your mouth and let it work magic for about 15-20 minutes. Then just take it out and rinse. You can easily do this in the morning while getting ready and rinse before you leave, or in the evening while doing your bedtime routine. You can even do it during the day while cleaning house. You can basically just put it in and forget about it. You don't have to sit still while its working, you can go on with your daily life! I received this product in exchange for my honest review. These thoughts and opinions are my own. You can find it here.

Advanta Supplement has asked me to give away a kit for free! All you have to do is enter a comment below. Winner will be drawn at random on Monday, May 4, 2015 at 8:00 p.m. EST.

My healthy lifestyle journey

So, I've been feeling like crap for a few weeks. I thought maybe my sugar was out of whack, so I had some blood work done this week. Thankfully, it came back normal, but that left me wondering what was going on. Now, I have Fibromyalgia, so I understand that I'm going to have days that I feel miserable and sore, so maybe this was a major flare up, who knows. What I do know, though, is that our eating habits suck. This is going to be a factor in my feeling miserable, and it's going to contribute to flare ups, so a decision was made. I am embarking on a healthier eating journey, which is going to include drinking a LOT more water, and I am going to quit smoking. I had my doctor call in some nicotine patches to help with that, because frankly, I haven't the willpower, what with the stress of having a special needs child. I have just a few cigarettes left in my pack, that will be finished tonight, so tomorrow morning I will start the patches. I am going to severely cut down my pop intake. I usually only drink pop throughout the day, with a cup of coffee or and iced coffee thrown in there. Well, today I did good! I have had one can of pop for the whole day! Now, I'm bound to fall off the wagon with that because I love pop! I mean, come on, who doesn't..lol. Instead of pop for breakfast, I will be enjoying a nice cup of coffee from my Keurig, with only creamer, no sugar. I haven't put sugar in my coffee for well over a year now. I use flavored creamer and that is plenty sweet :) I'm eliminating almost all fried foods, because that messes with my irritable bowel, so it just makes sense. I'm going to try to update daily, it anyone with a special needs child knows that you never know what each day is going to bring, so I will do my best!

Here's to getting healthy!!

Purina ONE

I received Purina ONE in exchange for an honest review. My cats are spoiled, to the max. We only feed them the best, and that's how we always will be. We had never tried Purina ONE before, so we weren't sure if they would even like it. We put a bowl down, and had 3 out of the 4 cats fighting over it. The fourth one would have, but she was sleeping..lol. Money devoured that bowl like nobody's business and started meowing for more! We like it because there are no fillers, and the main ingredient is actual meat. This was a definite hit, and we will be using it from now on! Go to their website and check them out! #ONEswitch @purinaONEcats @influenster
