My Thoughts*
I used to hate cleaning windows. It seemed to take forever to get those pristine, smear free windows. Too much work without any CLEAR results. UGH.
All other natural cleaners left my house smelling like vinegar, and they tended to cloud the windows after awhile. All chemical, commercial cleaners make me cough because of the chemicals in the spray.
Natural House Glassy is exactly the opposite of all other cleaners. It's absolutely ALL natural, doesn't contain any chemicals at all. Doesn't smell like vinegar, it smells GREAT. It has a citrus smell that isn't overpowering, just smells clean and very nice.
Glassy <as well as all Natural House cleaners> contain probiotics.
clip_image001[5]
Every single glass surface in my house is sparkling now because of Glassy. My kids are small and still touch the glass in my screen door to close it, instead of pulling the handle. So needless to say- her windows were foggy and sticky..
I sprayed on Glassy, left it on for 5-10 minutes and washed it off with a wash cloth. Usually I can't use a washcloth to clean windows, the random straying fibers find themselves all over the windows. Not with glassy, there wasn't a single strand of leftover fibers anywhere. I was definitely impressed.
But then again, I've worked with Natural House before and have seen firsthand what their products can do. I have used every single product they have except Surfy.
2012-04-03 13.39.402012-04-03 13.40.09
This is BEFORE as you can tell. You can see how clouded and sticky it is.
2012-04-03 13.40.58
This is the after picture. You can't even tell that there is a window there!
All the fingerprints and stickiness was absolutely GONE. Within the first use. Usually (Even with Windex) I would have to go over it  at least twice to get all the stickiness  and dirt off the windows from the kids fingers.
I used this on mirrors, stainless steel, microwaves, AND my truck windows. Everything just looks so clean and shiny. I am loving it.
Glassy is clear, so you know that it doesn't have any chemically induced dyes or fragrances. You can switch the nozzle to turn it off, so kids can't spray it in their face or all over everything. <Adisyn has a huge problem with trying to dump stuff out and get into everything> so I was glad to see that it had the nozzle.
Now you can have a chance to give Glassy a try as well. Natural House is giving one lucky Made.By.Jess reader a chance to win their very own bottle of Glassy.

doTERRA Wild Orange Essential Oil Review


Wild orange oil from dōTERRA<sup>®</sup> Earch Essentials
Wild orange is an unpretentious essential oil, used in aromatherapy to create the feeling of happiness and warmth, while calming nervous digestive problems.
15 ml bottle.

About wild orange essential oil:

Wild orange is used extensively as a fragrance component in soaps, detergents, cosmetics and perfumes, and in the food and drinks industry.
One of the most dynamic essential oil fragrances, its chemical constituents combine to give you proven anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and antidepressant properties.

Key properties of wild orange oil

Primary constituents of wild orange oil:
  • Monoterpenes (limonene 87%)
Some of the therapeutic properties of wild orange oilinclude: anti-bacterial, anti-depressant, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiseptic, carminative (expells gas from the alimentary canal, to relieve colic and spasmodic pain of bowels), choleretic, digestive, hypotensive, sedative, stimulant, stomachic and tonic.

Common uses for wild orange oil

Wild orange is one of the most powerful and aromatic of the essential oils.  It is excellent for disinfecting and killing fungus and pathogens.  It has very effective actions against colds and flu, and is highly recommended for use during their early stages.
Wild orange also supports the elimination toxins from the body, while stimulating the lymphatic system.
It can be both energizing and uplifting and sedative.  It does this by instilling feelings of peace.  It can be used in the treatment of anorexia.
Wild orange's main constituent, limonene, has powerful anti-cancer activity, suggesting that this oil might be effective as an anti-cancer agent.
It also supports collagen formation in the skin.

Modern research into wild orange oil

In clinical testing, the antioxidant Citrus sinensis exhibited absolute fungitoxicity (it kills fungi) against 10 post-harvest pathogens.  It was also absolutely toxic for spore germination.
A university study has demonstrated that wild orange oil is highly effective as an antidepressant.

Other uses for wild orange oil

  1. Diffusing wild orange is very effective at killing pathogens in the air.  It provides a very pleasant way to disinfect and kill bacteria, and assists with colds and flu.
  2. Diffusing wild orange can also be beneficial for nervous tension and stress, and is relaxing for children at bedtime.
  3. Diffuse in the car on long trips.  It is very calming and uplifting, and relieves stress.  Its anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-pathogenic activity also enhances the enjoyment of travel.
  4. Put 1-2 drops of wild orange in drinking water.  It's a good diuretic, and is most useful in balancing water retention, and may be helpful with obesity.  Its lymphatic-stimulant action further helps to balance water processes, as well as detoxification, aiding the immune system and general well-being.
  5. Blended in massage oil or added to a bath, wild orange assists with colds and flu, eliminates toxins from the body, boosts the lymphatic and immune system and helps ease nervous tension and stress.
  6. Use in massage for its invigorating, yet calming, properties.  Can be very helpful for muscle pain.
  7. Wild orange oil is certified GRAS by the FDA, and is safe for ingestion.  Adding 1-2 drops of this oil to ¼ cut of water and drinking can be very helpful for acid reflux or heartburn.  It has a powerful alkalizing effect on the system, making it very effective for many digestive issues.
  8. Mix with a carrier oil and massage on an infant's tummy to sooth stomach ache.
  9. Add to furniture polish, to help protect furniture against damage from insects.
  10. Add several drops of wild orange oil to some water in a spray bottle, shake well, to disperse the oil, and spritz on bed sheets, drapes or upholstery (think Febreze®).  May also be sprayed into the air as a fragrant, pathogen-killing air freshener for kitchens and bathrooms.
  11. Mix wild orange oil with water, to wipe down kitchen and bathroom surfaces.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.  This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

My Thoughts*

As soon as you open the bottle, you can tell that this is made out of natural oranges. It smells SO good, as if they have just dripped orange juice right into the bottle and sent it to you in a bottle.
I have been using this essential oil for awhile now. Even though it’s only a 15ml bottle, a drop or two goes a very long way. I have tried it in so many different ways and it worked in ALL ways that it can be used.
Inhaling this can lower your stress and anxiety levels. Because I have been diagnosed with bipolar mania II AND anxiety disorder, reducing anxiety is the #1 go-to method for bipolar.
Bipolar tends to get me all riled up and frustrated easily, so I have to remember to step back and take deep breaths when I am feeling overwhelmed. Wild Orange is naturally an uplifting scent, so it really helps to reduce stress and relieve anxiety.
Although I don’t have a problem with obesity, this Wild Orange essential oil is great for reducing the amount of water that your body holds in. All you have to do is put 1-2 drops of this essential oil into a bottle or glass of water and sip it.
Putting this essential oil into your water will also help with digestive problems and acid reflux. So if you have reflux or seem to always have an upset stomach, this is great to pack around with you to drop into water and sip throughout the day to keep your stomach at ease.
I have also added this my bath water. You can add 1-2 drops but I decided to add a little bit more just for more potency. Adding this to your bath water or ingesting this can help with collagen renewal. It stimulates collagen to boost your skins elasticity.
Also added to bathwater it can help keep cold and flu away. It is also THOUGHT to be very useful in keeping cancers away.
I do know that it isn’t an overpowering orange smell. It smells SO amazing and refreshing. It works very well as a natural house cleaner as well. Drop 1-3 drops into 4 ounces of water and clean whatever you need cleaning. Whether you need to clean your sinks, your bathroom, or your floor. Helps me to feel relaxed WHILE making my house smell SO good.
How could you pass it up?
You can buy this  HERE   for $13.95.
While there you should check out the other amazing essential oils that they keep stocked. They have so many different choices all of which have their very own health benefits.
Here are some of my favorite:
Wintergreen for muscle tension and pain, Peppermint for soothing digestion to improving concentration, and Basil for soothing sore muscles and joints, to ease breathing and as a cooling agent for the skin.

Orlane Skin Care Review

clip_image001

Serum Fermete Thermo-Actif

Thermo-Active Firming Serum

This skincare product inspired by dermo-esthetics acts in a new way to remodel the shape of the face.

BEAUTY RESULT

The skin becomes firmer, plumper and more elastic.
The shape of the face is remodeled, the outline of the face is redefined and the contours are more distinct.
The face regains its shape and youthful appearance.

Inspired by the latest advances in skin aesthetics on the production of collagen fibers obtained by warming the skin, Thermo-Active Firming Serum acts in a new way to remodel the shape of the face:
-A Tourmaline extract promotes skin warming to increase the production of new collagen.
-Rye extract expands the collagen-producing cells, while a purifying Green Tea extract lightens the features and illuminates the complexion.
For an immediately visible result, Oat extract forms a comfortable lifting film.

My Thoughts*

I seen results within the first week of using this. My skin was definitely more soft, supple, and had such a healthy glow to it. My skin has definitely lightened up.

The dark spots have totally disappeared, and you can’t even see traces of where they used to be. My skin feels tighter and my complexion is brighter. My skin hasn’t started thinning yet, because I’m only 23, but I definitely try an array of products that I can keep in my skin care regimen so that it doesn’t just pop up on me without realizing it.

Orlane Extreme Line Reducing Re-Plumping Cream

Crème Repulpante Antirides Extreme

 Extreme Line-Reducing Re-plumping Cream

This exceptional treatment fights wrinkles at their very source and takes account of the whole environment that causes sagging, deep lines and discomfort.

BEAUTY RESULT

Visibly rejuvenated skin. Wrinkles fade and the skin is renewed from within, visibly fuller with shapelier contours.

A triple-action formula:
-Stimulates skin regeneration and "treats" the wrinkle from the inside.
-Rebuilds the skin’s underlying support to plump wrinkles on the surface.
-Provides comfort and hydration immediately and durably.

My Thoughts*

There are tons of factors that can lead to deep wrinkles. Whether it’s the environment or stress, this creamy textured cream will help you either way. This cream stimulates skin regeneration.

Crème Repulpante Antirides Extreme contains Black tea extracts. Black tea has TONS of helpful skin ingredients. It contains Theaflavin, which soak into the skin. This can help reduce cholesterol and reduces the risk of cancer. This hits the root of the wrinkles, reduces them dramatically and keeps them away.

Black Tea extract also helps to prevent UV rays from harming your skin. I know that women think that Bronzed and tan is beautiful.. but it IS harmful and you should take all the extra help you can get in skincare to avoid harmful effects the sun can have on your skin. Black tea also naturally helps to rid of blemishes, so isn’t that AMAZING?

Although MYSELF, I am not old enough to get wrinkles yet, I did still use this and my skin was exceptionally soft, supple, and felt SO amazing. My mom also used this a couple of times and she said it made her skin feel SO youthful and gave her a glow she hadn’t had in years.

My face feels deeply rejuvenated and my skin feels tighter! Having enough moisture to your skin is very essential to keeping your skin healthy, and this crème is amazing at helping put moisture and nourishment into your skin.

Extreme care Anti-wrinkle Eye Contour - B21 Bio-Energic

Soin Antirides Extreme Contour Des Yeux

Extreme Line Reducing Care Eye Contour

A targeted, exceptionally effective care for the eye contour, for demonstrated visible "rejuvenation" of this fragile area.

BEAUTY RESULT

The eye contour appears more youthful after one week of use. Fine lines and crow’s feet seem "erased"; the skin is softer, more supple, visibly toned.

A dual line-smoothing action: it contains Memoxyle® which fights the formation of wrinkles and the vegetal bio-energic complex which smooths the skin surface.
Visibly firms, brightens and tones.
Visibly diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

My Thoughts*

Apply morning and evening by light circular motion. This stimulates cellular energy, while smoothing and firming your skin. Within the first couple of uses you can definitely tell the difference in your skin elasticity.

This is the first eye cream that relieves congestion and drains around the eyes which cause wrinkles and black looking bags under your eyes. Women try and try to fight both of these without help. Orlane is amazing, creating an eye cream that fights both in just a couple uses.

Putting this on at night, the first thing I noticed when I woke up in the morning is that my eyes looked rested and regenerated. Skin renewal starts with nightly use. If you don’t use your skin care daily, it isn’t going to be as effective as if you did.

This cream targets epidermal repair to help repair wrinkles. Smooth skin can break through because it targets the messages between cells, helping skin to stay younger longer than usual. I really liked this.!!

Repairing Night Cream Absolute Skin Recovery

Creme De Nuit Reparatrice Anti-Fatigue Absolu

Repairing Night Cream Absolute Skin Recovery

Orlane B21 Anti-Fatigue Recovery Care (day & night)

This absolute skin repair treatment activates cellular self-repair mechanisms during the night and erases the signs of aging and fatigue.

BEAUTY RESULT

There is a visible difference in all the signs of aging. A glowing complexion, smoother, thoroughly rested skin, and a face with a distinctly younger appearance.

This truly innovative cream amplifies the skin’s natural night-time reconstruction activities by stimulating the longevity protein that increases the repair time in the heart of every cell and reinforces DNA’s repair systems, giving birth to young cells in healthier condition.
The skin is visibly regenerated, rebuilt, restored deep-down, reborn.

My Thoughts*

This has cutting edge technology that most night creams lack. This targets your skin at night to activate your cells to self-repair and erase the signs of aging, tiredness, and stressed skin.

My complexion is bright and glowing. I also love that my skin has been crystal clear since using these products. These products are top of the line and make me feel like I am just beaming with luxury. Can you tell whether someone is using drugstore products vs. top of the line?

I definitely can since I have been using it and can tell a huge difference in my skin. I’ve never known soft until I was introduced to high quality skin care. This isn’t heavy at all and blends right in. My skin is at it’s peak and I want to keep it that way!

It’s a bit heavy, so it’s best kept for night-time regimen. Most women try and use night-time creams under their makeup as a day moisturizer, but keep this as a night time treatment. You don’t have to use this very long to see a huge difference in your skin health.

Who wouldn’t want radiant, vibrant skin? I know I couldn’t pass it up. There is NO way I am going back to regular night-time treatments!!

My skin has definitely seen a HUGE turn around using all these Orlane products together. My skin is firmer, tighter, healthier looking and is extremely moisturized.

About Orlane

 

Right from the start, Orlane knew beauty products could be incredibly effective. In 1947, Orlane proved to be a forerunner of anti-aging skincare by becoming the first brand to use “truly active” ingredients in its products. Even its advertisements were innovative thanks to their illustrated skin cross-sections. Therefore, it came as no surprise that Orlane had already claimed its place as the benchmark anti-aging skincare brand.

The founding principle of Orlane anti-aging skincare is the B21 Bio-Energic Anti-Aging Complex, based on the fabulous potential of energy to re-educate the skin. It has adapted to reflect research breakthroughs, but remains at the heart of each Orlane anti-aging formula.

Today, this spirit of innovation still makes a striking impact on the beauty market. On the cutting edge of technology, Orlane anti-aging formulas are famous for their extreme quality and excellence.

The company: a family business on an international scale

Mr. Giraudi, a visionary founder and pharmaceutical doctor, has created, directed and developed the Italian cosmetics Kelémata group for almost 30 years. He is backed by his daughter Raffaëlla, Managing Director of Orlane, and his son Gian-Luca, CEO of Orlane.  The Orlane brand is distributed in about 75 countries.

Suggested Use: Adults, orally take 1 capsule mid-morning and/or mid-afternoon 2 hours after a meal or on an empty stomach. For a lighter effect, take 1 capsule with or before meal. If after 90 minutes additional energy is desired take a second capsule.

Take with a full glass of water. Do not take too late in the day or sleep may become impaired. Results will be noticed in 60-90 minutes, and if additional energy is desired, take another capsule. Do not exceed 4 capsules per day.

For best weight loss results: Drink 8 glasses of water per day, exercise at least 3 times per week and eat a diet of lean protein, vegetables, fruit, complex carbohydrates and reduce sugar consumption.

  • Always try and take it the same time every day on an empty stomach with 8 oz of water, if you eat wait 2 hours until taking ACE or eat 2 hours after taking ACE if hungry.
  • Start out with 1 a day, if after a period, you begin to feel hungry around noon, then take another one. (You shouldn't have to do this long).
  • After using 7 days, pick a day of the week and skip it. This will be your skip day. You will skip this day every week after week one. (For example: Skip Sunday of every week)
  • Do not eat out of habit!! Listen to your brain and your stomach and change up your routine.

If you have been taking one for a period of time and don't feel like you're losing like you want, increase your intake to 2 pills a day, a couple times a week. This will kick start your metabolism. Also you can take 2 pills a day for a week, 1 first thing in the morning and then another 1 around noon, and then skip your day and go back down to 1 a day for a week. Alternating that will trick your metabolism and make it work for you. You may take 2 pills in the AM and then another at 2. Keep in mind everyone- is different. What works for one may not work for another, you may experiment with your time.

The reason for the skip day is to slow your metabolism down on the day when you're not taking it and it will increase it again when you take it the next day.

What is in ACE?

B6- Vitamin B6 has been called the "mighty vite" because of all the functions it performs. It is estimated that B6 is involved with more than 101 chemical reactions that occur in our bodies.

Natural ACE appetite control and energy. hunger pains- gone, uncontrolable snacking - Gone, Unwanted pounds - gone. Plus Smooth Clean Energy. Saba

My Thoughts*

I have been taking this for more than a couple of weeks now, and I am totally in awe of this. I have taken tons of energy pills, drank energy drinks, and tried many other sources of “energy”.

ACE Label the list of ingredients and % of daily allowance on some.n

If you eat healthy and exercise while taking these, it WILL help you lose weight. The ingredients in these pills boost your metabolism. Boosting your metabolism helps you lose calories quicker than just exercise and diet alone.

Although I haven’t been trying to lose weight, I took some for the energy. It kept me alert and going for about 4-5 hours, and then I’d take another after eating.

My mom has been taking them for weight loss though. She has always been self conscious about how big she is. She tells me all the time that she thinks she’s fat. So when I was asked to review these, I immediately thought about mom.

She started at taking 1 a day, weighing 155 pounds. I was only sent about 15-20 days worth depending on how many you want to take a day. She took all of them but 4 (which I took to try out). She ended up losing about 4 lbs, during the span of about 2 and a half weeks.

She has tried everything under the sun to help her try and lose weight. She has tried powders, pills, drinks, and everything else you could think of. She said that these didn’t have a nasty after- taste and they didn’t smell weird like most diet pills.

She said she never felt nervous or had the jitters like other diet pills and drinks she has tried. This is a first for her, because most diet pills sets her over the edge and stresses her out because of the jitters and she wastes her money on stuff that she wouldn’t even continue taking.

Also on the plus side—on the website, I seen that it is said to increase men’s stamina in the passion department AND help women with being playful and fun!! How much of a plus is that?? I think TONS!

Tonya Dawson is the representative of A.C.E and she offers a free sample of A.C.E. A Free sample is only 2 pills, but you can tell how much it increases your energy and metabolism. You WON’T lose weight off of just one pill, BUT you can tell that it doesn’t have a nasty after taste, smell, or jittery feel to it.

You can buy A.C.E from Tonya in quantities for as low as $1 a pill.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jessica

 

A.C.E has natural products, so there is no CRASH that is associated with many other energy drinks and pills. The reason they have a CRASH is because they have extreme amounts of caffeine, B12, and Guarana.

The Vitamin C Moisturizer contains the highest possible concentration of Vitamin C in a skin care product. The moisturizer is designed to protect, repair and moisturize. Vitamin C encourages collagen production, which brightens and softens the skin. It may be worn under sunscreen, since Vitamin C boosts the effectiveness of the sunscreen. While the Vitamin C Moisturizer is excellent at helping prevent sunburn, it can also aid with hyperpigmentation, which is a discoloration of the skin from frequent sun exposure.

The Vitamin C Moisturizer may also be used to restore elasticity and prevent wrinkles and fine lines.

2 oz.

Directions:

Moisturize daily for normal and dry skin. For oily skin, use three times per week. Gently smooth over face and neck in circular motion.

About our Ingredients:

The combination of MSM wih Vitamin C is excellent in boosting collagen production and creating healthy new skin cells. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a key ingredient in the Vitamin C Moisturizer, which is an organic compound with impressive benefits. Overtime, this will improve the complexion of your skin. Coconut oil is known for being an effective moisturizer for dry skin. It delays the appearance of fine lines, and moisturizes without irritation. Coconut oil is excellent for speeding up healing process of bruises by repairing damaged skin cells. Evening prime rose oil is a great anti-inflamatory for skin conditions, such as rosescea or dry, itchy skin. It hydrates and moisturizes the skin while also brightening the skin tone without causing any irritation.

My Thoughts*

I have been using this for about a month. Because I have oily skin, I can only use this every other day because it has extreme moisturizing agents in it. It has coconut oil in it, so it has repairing agents that help speed up healing of bruises and other skin problems.

My skin had some old discoloration from acne scars from when I was a teenager. This has lightened the discoloration to where it can’t be seen at all. It has left my skin extremely hydrated and moisturized. 

This helps create moisturizes without any irritation or redness. It helps with the effectiveness of my sunscreen. When I am going swimming, I can put this on <All over my body> and then put the sunscreen on and it doubles the effectiveness of it.

I also like to use this on my kids under their sunscreen. They love being outside, but lately it has been VERY hot and the UV rays have doubled. They have very fair skin and they burn very easily. I want them to be safe from sunburn as much as possible.

I have dry, itchy skin most of the time. I have bought and used plenty of products to help with the dry itchy skin on my legs. Some have worked, others haven’t. This does though. It helps seal in the moisture with the Vitamin C.

This is available for purchase from the MadefromEarth website.

Vitamin C Moisturizer $54.99

Our lavender ingredient is formulated with a 100% vegetable base and enriched with plant roots to create a soothing and calming bar soap. The lavender is organically harvested using sustainable methods and is free of any harsh detergents and sulfates.

My Thoughts*

This soap is absolutely amazing. The smell of Lavender is absolutely calming and refreshing. Not only does it help the skin, it also smells great in the bathroom. It’s so fragrant that as soon as you walk in the bathroom, you can smell lavender.

The more you use it, the more fragrant it makes your bathroom. I received 2 bars of the lavender soap, so I use one especially for handwashing in the bathroom and the other in the bathtub for face washing use.

Adam works outside. He is a foreman for our local tree-trimming service. They travel to surrounding counties in Kentucky and Tennessee, so his day is long, hard, and extremely hot in the summer. The first thing he does when he comes in is shower and wash his face.

Other bar soaps are drying to your skin and can leave it feeling like you have rubbed sandpaper across it.  This isn’t drying at all. It soothes and relaxes while making my skin feel absolutely amazing.

LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE the smell.

This is available for $6.50 on the MadefromEarth website.. Lavender soap

All of MadefromEarth’s products are completely 100% natural and organic. You will never find synthetics or chemicals inside these products.

 

As I have said numerous times before that putting chemicals on your face, body, or in your hair can turn potentially dangerous when using chemically induced products for long periods of time. They can start to seep through your skin and through your scalp and cause you harm.

So organic products are better for your health and wellbeing than chemical products.

About MadeFromEarth

We are a forward looking company that specializes in organic skin care products. Our goal is to enable people to make the right choices about the right skin care products.

We limit our line of products to just the best the organic market can offer in face treatments, body lotions, hair, bath and lip balms. It has been our honor to work with the best eco-friendly, environmentally conscious and recognized people in the health and beauty industry. Our company is based on the same healthy values from the day we started: excellent customer service for high quality and healthy ingredients. It is our objective to continue to grow by providing exciting new formulas and treatments to serve our healthy customers.

Our Surprise

We were surprised at how many synthetic chemicals are being used in skin care products today, most of which are added as a preservative. For example, other companies use organic ingredients and then mix them with chemicals for preservation (a preservative). A study, reported in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, found parabens to be the most common cosmetic preservative present in significant amounts in 18 out of 20 breast cancer tumors. Cosmetic chemicals accumulate in the body’s fatty tissues, where they can remain for years and damage your cells. Made from Earth uses a natural preservative system to preserve our precious organic ingredients - and we found our natural preservatives are great for your skin, like Jojoba and Vitamin E.

Healthy Ingredients = Healthy products

Our line of organic skin care essentials contain the highest possible levels of organic ingredients and fruits. We have searched the entire USA for ingredients that meet our earth-friendly requirements and are hand-selected to provide you with exceptional skin care. You will find our complete ingredients listed prominently on each product page. No catchy phrases or deceptive marketing – our ingredients speak for themselves.

Our ingredients / plants are from organic farms. There are no toxic ingredients in our products. There is no diluting or watering down of our potent organic plant ingredients. There is no synthetic coloring agents or fragrances, or paraffin and other petroleum products are permitted. Preservatives from synthetic sources are not permitted, such as Parabens (propyl, methyl and ethyl). Lastly, all manufacturers must provide a certificate of organic certification from either of these three certifying agencies:

We are 100% farmed and sourced in the USA.

Our facilities are FDA Registered under high standards of quality control. We also manufacture using a certified Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) facility. Being cGMP compliant means we encompasses the full spectrum of Microbiological Testing, including Aerobic Plate Count, Antimicrobial Effectiveness Testing, and Accelerated Stability Testing.

Partnership: Caring Consumer

In our manufacturing processes we only use cruelty-free products. Unfortunately, even today, hundreds of thousands of animals are inappropriately treated to provide product tests for shampoos, cleaners, cosmetics, and other personal care items. We are against this, and will not work with any partners or providers that associate with that type of conduct.

Made from Earth is in full support of initiatives and an active member in pushing for proper legislation in Washington DC. We work with more than 50 endorsing campaigns and thousands of grassroots supporters to lobby congress and our leaders to provide safelty and regulate the removal of harmful ingredients from skin care products on the market today.

Toilet Tree Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror with Squeegee Review

clip_image001

  • Patent Pending water chamber design keeps mirror fogless.
  • GUARANTEED to be fogless for life. Requires no annoying fog free sprays EVER!
  • Easy mounting with removable silicone adhesive. No more unreliable suction cups!
  • Built in squeegee to clean off mirror.
  • Convenient shelf to place your razor, sponge or tweezers so they are always accessible.

As a woman, I definitely have issues getting all of my mascara off in the shower. I get out of the tub and have to re-wash my entire face because I have raccoon eyes. It is hard to tell if you’ve gotten all the mascara off if you don’t have a mirror in your shower.

I have tested another shower mirror before, but it didn’t work out so well. The fog in the shower didn’t mix well with the mirror and it was always hard to see. The mirror was very small and I didn’t like it very much.

The other shower mirror had a distortion to it. It felt like looking into a fun-house mirror and I had to hold it really close to my face just to be able to see.

This Toilet Tree LED fogless Shower Mirror is definitely SO much better. The mirror on this baby is HUGE. I can see my entire face without having to stand on tippy toes or scrunch down like the humpback of Notre Dame. You can place this easily with no mess, at any height you want.

It comes with an instruction book on how to put the silicone on and where to place it at. This helped me tons when I got it. I put it together and had it on the wall within 10 minutes. You can also remove the mirror from the wall (when and if you wish) without the silicone damaging your walls or tile.

I have been using this mirror for over a month and I have never had one single issue with it fogging up. It has a light built in with a push button on the side. It’s easy to use and is VERY bright. I love it.

This isn’t held on by suction cups like other shower products. Usually those suction cups give out and leave your stuff in pieces in the bathtub. This comes with easy to apply silicone that has held and held in place with no issues.

The mirror is detachable, so all you do is place the mirror under the running shower water (at the temp you take a shower) and let it run into the mirror for approximately 5-7 seconds. This is what keeps the mirror from fogging. If you do notice it starting to fog, just fill it back up with water and the fog will disappear.

There isn’t one bit of distortion to this mirror. If you stand really far back  and rock slightly you can see a slight distortion to it, but I can’t se why anyone would want to stand that far away and rock while shaving anyway.

It comes with a self-stored squeegee that helps remove the excess water off the front of the mirror for a better view of yourself. It is amazing because this mirror can be pushed down for shorter users and pushed up for taller users. So that everyone in your household can use this.

You can wipe those raccoon eyes off and your husband can shave in the shower without knicking and cutting himself to pieces. I love this mirror. It isn’t expensive, and yet has so many great qualities.

Dermatologists recommend washing, scrubbing, and exfoliating your face in the shower because the heat and moisture help open the pores. This makes it TONS easier to be able to get all the dirt and grime as well as black and white heads off of your skin. This also makes it extremely easy to be able to tweeze in the shower. Because your hair softens in the shower, it’s a great time to pluck away and it not hurt so bad.

This is perfect for this. It is also a great shaving mirror for women as well as men. Because it is detachable, you can make sure you got all the hairs off of your underarms, legs, and wherever else you don’t want to miss a spot.

And because it is detachable, I usually take this out of the shower and use it as a makeup mirror as well because it is so big and is lighted. It makes putting makeup on SO much easier because I can sit down or take the mirror and prop it up and don’t have to stand up close to my bathroom mirror.

It will never break- no matter how many times it’s dropped or what it’s dropped on because it is built with an acrylic mirror instead of a glass one. Although this mirror is 1 pound, it isn’t as heavy as you would think.

Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror with Squeegee by ToiletTree Products. Guaranteed Not to Fog, Designed Not to Fall. 20% Larger Than Our #1 Selling Original Mirror.

This shower mirror is unlike any other and I am VERY happy with how quickly I got this in the mail. I wasn’t even expecting it to come for another 3-4 days when I received it. =)

*What makes this mirror SO different from others*

-Shatter proof high quality acrylic mirror that adheres to virtually any wall surface with removable silicone adhesive.

-Easily adjustable bracket accommodates multiple users and angles.

-Built in shelf to store your razor, sponge or tweezers.

-Squeegee included to wipe away excess water drops.

-Designed not to rust, discolor or damage bathroom surfaces.

-Measures 8.5in x 6.5in x 1.5in and weighs less than 1 pound.

If you are not satisfied with your purchase they offer a 100% 30-day money back guarantee. That's how confident they are that this will be the last fogless shower mirror you will ever have to buy.

BUY IT: You can buy this Deluxe LED Shower Mirror from ToiletTree for $49.95 on their website.

About ToiletTree

ToiletTree Products began with a simple holiday gift from Mom. After receiving a fogless mirror as a Christmas present in 2008, Steven, who had always loved the concept of shaving in the shower, made it his mission to redesign the mirror that failed to stand up to its claims of being fog-free and unshakable wall adherence. Fed up with frustration and uneven shaves, Steven joined forces with his father and brother to design a mirror that not only stayed attached to the wall, but, most importantly, guaranteed a fogless face for life!

After many long months of brainstorming and testing prototypes, the trio took their design to manufacturing in January of 2010, where ToiletTree Products was finally born. A fun play on the word ‘toiletry,’ the company takes its name from the category in which their creations fall: bathroom products! In only a mere six months, ToiletTree’s Fogless Shower Mirror made its debut on Amazon.com, earning the title of Amazon’s #1 top-selling beauty product by Christmas of 2010. Due to the overwhelming number of customer requests, ToiletTree’s Fogless Shower Mirror expanded its line to include the Deluxe LED Mirror, as well as one fit for travel and On-The-Go. Today, ToiletTree Products rounds out its brand with the addition of other new essential bathroom products including nail clippers, face cleanser, oral irrigator and a collection of Bamboo bathroom accessories. A family-run company, ToiletTree Products takes great pride in providing consumers with unique and innovative products of only the highest quality.

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review & Giveaway

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Gold Label Virgin coconut oil, is a unique hand-crafted coconut oil different from other coconut oils found on the market in the United States.
Coconut Oil has become the newest and most healthy alternative to cooking with oil and butter. A little of this coconut oil goes WAY further than if you were cooking with any other oil or even butter.
The best thing about this is that you can cook ANY dish that you want to (the same dishes you would cook in regular vegetable oil, canola oil, or butter) and there is NEVER any taste or smell of coconut what-so-ever.
Butter is so fattening and clogs arteries. I love cooking things in butter, but it isn’t healthy- for either myself or my kids. Heart disease runs in my family, and I try and avoid anything that may cause problems for us in the future.
At first, I was kind of in the middle about using this to cook. I’ve used it for my hair and loved it.. but I wasn’t sure it wasn’t going to add a coconut flavor to my food (until I tried cooking with it.)
My kids and I eat tons of oatmeal. I LOVE the fruit oatmeal, and it keeps me from wanting anything else to eat for quite awhile after eating it with about a teaspoon of coconut oil inside the oatmeal. It doesn’t taste any different, but somehow it is more filling with the coconut oil.
I love that they support small farmers of coconuts in the Philippines. The coconut oil is hand crafted in small batches in the Philippines.
Not only can you use Coconut oil for cooking regular everyday foods, you can use it to make your hair and skin beautiful as well. It is a solid, but you can heat it up in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and rub it in like you would a lotion or body butter.
As soon as you put it on, you can feel an immediate different in the smoothness of your skin. It makes it so soft, so supple, and the moisture lasts for a long time. You don’t need very much at all, maybe a half-dollar size for your entire body.
When using it in your hair- you heat it up in the microwave- and then I suggest dipping a brush or a comb straight into the jar. (If you aren’t using this jar for cooking) and then brush or comb the oil into your hair. Put it on your scalp and massage it in. THEN rub more from your roots all the way to the ends of your hair. RUB it in. Leave it on for as long as you want.
I have also started heating this up and mixing it in with my dog’s food. We got a new Red Nose Red Pit Bull and the kids and Adam named him Apollo. He got his name from the Movie Rocky. His dad’s name is Rocky.
The bottles are 1 quart, so no matter how you use them, a quart will last awhile. You can use this on your hair, your body, AND for cooking.
I hear about coconut oil everywhere. I t has become the new trend in beauty and health products.  Your food will taste the same without all the added calories from butter, margarine, or canola/vegetable oils.
The FDA does not want a discussion of the health benefits of coconut oil on a page where it is being sold or given away, so here is the best website to read about the health benefits of coconut oil.
Tropical Traditions also carries other varieties of affordable high quality coconut oil.
Visit their website to check on current sales, to learn about the many uses of coconut oil, and to read about all the  advantages of buying coconut oil online.

EcoLunchGear Review

image

I am absolutely thrilled with the two items I received from EcoLunchGear! I received a sandwich wrap and a snack bag. The colors are amazing, and would look great for either yourself, your kids, your mom, best friend, or as a gift to your kid's teacher.

I took these with us to the doctor, I put 2 capri sun pouches inside the sandwich wrap and 6 granola bars in the snack wrap. I know I didn't have to, but my kids are messy and who wants cracked granola bars? Not me, especially since I would be the one picking them up off the doctors' floor. When we arrived at the doctor- the drinks were still cool, even though it was scorching outside.

I love that they also unwrap to easily be used as a placemat. If your going on a picnic and don't want to keep your sandwich or whatever in your hands the entire time, because of the tables or putting them directly on the blanket, this saves you the hassle.

The sandwich wrap can be used for just more than a sandwich. I have put many things inside this and never once has it failed me! They stay tightly velcroed inside, never falling out!

These wraps can be washed which is awesome. Not only can you machine wash them and line dry them, but you can wash these along with your dishes and then let them dry in your drainer (or line dry them). It makes making lunches so much easier!

In the sandwich bag, I received the Starburst Lemon fabric. It is so dainty and very cute yellow fabric with dark blue, light blue, and white polka dots.

Image 1

The best part about it is that you can choose which fabric you want to buy.

Image 1Image 1

Image 1Image 1

Image 1Image 1

So no matter which fabric you get, you know that they will be cute as a button and function SO perfectly well. I love it. I am definitely going to buy my mom something for her lunch bag for work.

Both the snack bags and the sandwich bags open flat so that you aren’t having to pack bulky plates with you to work, or send with your kids to school.

 

This is a picture of the snack bag laid open.

The velcro tabs lock together to prevent your sandwich or snack from getting soggy or ruined. They are perfect for everybody’s lunch!

 

 

 

A bit about the owner-

Tina Beatty:

My family and I were trying to cut the amount of trash that was going out and found a lot of it was due to packed lunches. I tried other reusable products and wasn't happy with their performance. Being s lifelong sewer I designed my own- that's what prompted me to start my own business in 2008. I started sewing all the products myself and when the business grew I was able to add a couple of fun & talented sewers. They happen to be retired teachers! Our products are made in Michigan and nothing is outsourced. Our supplies are made with Fair Trade companies. We are proud to be recognized by Green America as a green company. We take this very seriously in doing our best with not only the supplies we use but the work area as well.

A bit about the material & product:

It wasn't enough for me to think about the end result and use something reusable, I wanted to think of the beginning as well. That is why we use 100% certified organic cotton vs. just cotton- yes, it does cost more per yard but that fact that it is grown without pesticides is worth every penny. The sandwich wraps & snack bags are lined with a polyurethane coated nylon (the polyurethane coating is on the inside away from food)- this is to help keep food fresh and is resistant to water, stains, mildew, and rot. The nylon has been tested and is free of heavy metals, phalthates, and is lead free. The reason we use a nylon for a liner is to keep things fresh. I've tried It without and the bread gets stale.

The Sandwich Wrap folds around a sandwich, bagel, or even a sliced orange-anything you can think of. It also lays flat to be used as a placemat- great on those not so clean lunch or picnic tables. Both wraps & bags have double velcros on the inside, this is for the cleaning process.

Just fold the velcro tab down before throwing in the wash so it doesn't stick to everything else. They can be machine washed/dried or hand washed and line dried. I usually just hand wash mine with some dishes and let them dry overnight to use the next morning.

The Snack bags open completely for easy clean up- no crumbs left in any corners. I pre-wash all the fabric before it gets cut and sewn together so it is pre-shrunk. This prevents any puckering after you have washed it so it will look just as new as when you received it. Our products can be used over and over again-we have a sandwich wrap that we have used every day for over a year and it still looks great and the velcro holds up like it's new!

BeyondtheBeauty Zebra Print Curling Rod Review & Giveaway

2012-04-04 11.39.12

Zebra Print Curling Rod

I have only used traditional curling irons to curl my hair before. I have never had the opportunity to use a curling rod until now. Beyond the Beauty sent me a curling rod to review.

These aren’t like regular curling irons, because they don’t have the clip part on the rod. It’s just the rod. At first- I had trouble with this, I couldn’t get close to my head because I was scared of it slipping and burning me on the forehead. Now that I’ve used it more than once, I can totally curl my hair without getting scared.

It’s just learning something new. It’s WAY much better than the traditional irons’ once you get the hang of it. The iron warms up much quicker

Here are some pictures of my hair with different angles. I love that this curling rod lets me get closer to my scalp without burning me or my forehead! I don’t use the heatproof glove that comes with it very often. Once you get the hang of how to hold it, you don’t really need to use it. It’s just a precaution so you don’t burn yourself.

2012-04-03 12.50.422012-04-03 12.50.062012-04-03 12.50.132012-04-03 12.50.28

I love that I could create so many different looks with just this one ROD.! I can curl it, make it wavy, flip it out, flip it in, and so much more.

With traditional irons, you usually see the crease of where the clamp on the iron has been. With this rod, there is no clamp, so you don’t have any creases.

I love how they have choices of colors. I have never seen a zebra print curling iron OR rod- until now. I love it. Adam’s mom is a zebra print fanatic, and she will for SURE try and jack this! LOL.

It takes less than a full minute to heat all the way up! So you spend more time curling and less time waiting. The trick to using the rods is to use smaller sections of hair.

You split your hair into 2 sections (top and bottom) put the top part up in a clip or elastic band and start curling on the bottom. These products help create shiny, damage-free, healthy hair.

I only had to keep my hair in the curling position on the rod for about 5-10 seconds to get that perfect wavy/curl look. I could never NEVER get it right with a curling iron-EVER!

This is a top of the line, exceptionally amazing curling rod. It is such great quality. I love that the cord is extra long. I hated using a curling iron with a short cord. Either I couldn’t move around much, or I had to locate an extension cord every time I wanted to curl. NO LONGER!!

Even the packaging that it comes in is unique and one of a kind.

Silicone Body Review & Giveaway

clip_image001
Being a mother of 2 kids, I can say that I haven’t had many issues that most women do when having kids. I didn’t gain a ton of weight and I didn’t get stretch marks, but I didn’t GAIN any post-baby weight, which is what I was hoping for.
I have always been petite, everything I’ve done to try and change this has never helped. I have tried to put on weight MANY MANY ways. Drinking a million peanut butter shakes, drinking breakfast drinks high in protein more than once a day. Still, I have only gained about 5 pounds, because I have extremely high metabolism.
I know that most people want to lose weight, but I have always been one to want to gain it. Now there are booty enhancers out there to help.
clip_image001
With a variety of items available from padded panties, waist cinchers, hip pads, and breast enhancers, you can create the body illusion you desire without spending a fortune or going under the knife. Best of all, you will gain more self esteem and confidence thanks to these simple yet important undergarments.
Silicone Body even offers Padded Underwear for Men, because guys like to look and feel great too! Custom designed to enhance curves at the right places, their men's padded briefs have been featured in San Francisco Chronicle, Maxim, and Men's Fitness.  When Mother Nature did not give you enough, treat yourself with a Package Booster, a cotton brief with removable butt and bulge pads.
The Silicone Body motto “Everyone will notice, but no one will know” is absolutely true. I received a pair of the silicone breast enhancers and 3 pair of the padded panties. 2 pair are padded with padding and the other pair is padded with silicone.
It is so miraculous what body enhancers can do to help your self confidence and how much it makes me feel womanly. I guess the reason I have wanted to gain weight all these years is because I was missing the womanly curves. Most people think I’m 16 or 17, not 23.
clip_image001[9]
Now $35.98 (reg. $54.50)
These realistic breast forms, made of 100% high grade silicone, are anatomically shaped to mimic closely real breast.  In addition, they have natural looking silicone nipple and concave back for maximum comfort.
Widely used by mastectomy patients, or to add cleavage where none is present.  Forms come in a set of two. Due to hygiene reasons, silicone breast forms are can not be returned or exchanged.
This silicone breast forms have done me wonders. At first I felt funny wearing them- I thought people who knew me were going to notice and think I was weird for wanting a body that wasn’t mine. They did notice the enhance, but they didn’t look down on me, they wanted some for themselves.
That’s why I continue to teach my children that you shouldn’t judge people. All my life people have told me that I have the perfect body, but I feel tomboyish and I have always thought curvaceous women were more beautiful and look so much beautiful than petite, small women, So no matter what someone looks like, they STILL may have some self-image issues.
Now I can feel like the woman I am—Here are the pictures of before and after wearing the silicone breast enhancers.  (Side View)

(Front View)
2012-03-31 10.30.242012-03-31 10.30.11
See how more full I look? This definitely gives me a more pronounced look and 2 full cup sizes. Not only that, but because they are silicone they look and FEEL real. They move just like real boobs would. They aren’t stiff like padded bras.
The panties are amazing as well. When you get older you lose the cellulite that keeps your butt firm and nice. Although I haven’t reached that stage yet, I don’t want to DO nothing and it just bounce on me, and I look like I have a flat, wrinkly butt.
I could never afford implants and not sure I would take that road even if I could afford it. I’m not sold on surgery to keep me looking full and like a real curvy woman and not a teenager. I would rather just put the enhancers in and be done with it. They are the same thing, except you aren’t paying thousands of dollars for something that could be harmful and may bust at any moment.
These butt enhancing panties are AWESOME. I do encourage you to wear your regular panties under the silicone panties because in the heat the silicone was sticking to my butt. But since I started wearing panties underneath, I haven’t had any problems with the heat.
Their padded underwear, butt enhancers, butt bras, and lifters are carefully designed to fit any body type and structure. They were featured on Tyra's show "Fix it or Flaunt it"!
This is a picture of me wearing the Silicone Pop Up Booty Enhancer
2012-03-31 10.33.342012-03-31 10.31.22

See how more firm and round my butt looks?
I love it.!! I feel amazing and more confident and LOOK amazing as well. The fabric is breathable, and not smothering.  Now we carry over 70 styles with over 300 combinations to choose from, this is AMAZING!
I also received Padded Panties BOOTYFULL &
BOOTYNORMOUS Padded Panty.
