Bag Beautiful Review & Giveaway

If your like I am, you have a million and one purses, handbags, and duffle bags. I have been collecting handbags every since I can remember. But because I have so many and can only use one at a time, I have to store the rest in my closet.

I have had many purses become squished and bent out of shape because they have been in a small space lain on top of each other. So I was excited when I learned of the Bag Beautiful.

Bag Beautiful is an amazing product that helps extend the life of your purses. HOW? This is a silky feeling pillow like insert that you slip inside your purses while storing so that they remain in shape.

This amazing little purse form protects from everyday wear and tear, saves delicate leather from creasing, protects your investment by extending the life of your purse, maintains the purses form when not in use, keeps the bag from being crushed by other items, and supports the bags inner components.

I tend to carry rather large handbags. I have always done this. AND the bag ends up weighing almost as much as I do,  but I can’t seem to downsize no matter what I do. A purse is so much more than a purse to me, it’s a lifeline.

I carry makeup, perfume, wallet, little toys for the kids to play with when we go somewhere, a book for me to read, and so much more. Adam thinks it’s funny that I carry so much stuff everywhere we go, but I simply hate being bored and so do the kids.

Because my purse is my lifeline, I want to keep them in shape. I don’t want to be carrying around torn, bent, or out of shape purses. I want them to be directly the same way I bought them. I want to keep them looking as nice as possible, so thus Bag Beautiful.

You just put it inside your purse and store it wherever you wish it to be, and when you pull it out from under the bed, the closet, or a box- it’s the same as it was when it went in. NO being bend out of shape, rips, or creases.

Once you try this- you’ll never want to store your handbags the same way you were. This product makes you think of the damage that you are causing to your most stylish accessories. Why would you buy something just to store it in a harmful crushing way?

Here are dimensions for you to decide which size you might need and go here to see the measurements to make sure you are figuring it right before buying:

About Bag Beautiful:

Bag Beautiful and the Handbag Shaper are designed by handbag lovers for all handbag lovers. The damage and leather creasing days are no more!

I am a self proclaimed handbag addict who adores handbags, purses and accessories. I work hard to have the handbags I covet in Vogue, Lucky and Elle magazines. In attempt to keep my accessories in shape I simply grew tired of the paper stuffing process of storing them in the closet. I figured since I was dropping a pretty penny on my Chanels, Diors and Louis, it would be nice to have an easy, efficient way of protecting and storing my prized possessions.

So, I created the solution to store my handbags - The Bag Beautiful Handbag Shaper and Cover. Keep your handbags safe and beautiful with these anti-aging products that protect them when not in use. Skip the messy crumpled paper and air fillers, three easy steps and your handbags are ready for storage. Give your handbag or purse the care and attention it deserves.

I really hope you enjoy the Bag Beautiful storage experience. I welcome your feedback (info@bagbeautiful.com) so I can continually improve the products and design new items that make our lives, as women of style, easier.

Leonor Greyl- Huile De Palme Review

 

I have been using this amazing product for well over a month and a half now. This is so many different things in one. You add this to your hair before you shampoo it. You leave it on for as long as you want to, and then rinse it out- and shampoo and condition as normal.

This is for normal hair, dry hair, or damaged hair due to straightening, blow-drying, bleaching, coloring, or perming. While sun de-hydrates the Kertain in the hair, water moisturizes it. The sun makes the hairs ends split (thus split ends), dries it out and is extremely damaging to it.

The best thing about this is that it is waterproof- of water under 77* F- so you could put this in you hair before heading to the beach or the pool and your hair will be protected from the harsh chemicals in the pool water, and the salt in the sea/ocean water.

This is a very silky oil, colored slightly a yellow color. Because it is an oil, it rubs in quite nicely without having to use TONS in your hair. If you do have long hair like I do, you still don’t have to use very much. It smells like a herbal mixture, which is invigorating and refreshing to the senses.

Since I have been using this, my hair has become much softer than it was. My hair was experiencing damage due to blow-drying and straightening everyday. I can tell that this has made the health of my hair dramatically better. It seems that with each use, my hair becomes much stronger.

If you add this to your beauty regimen at least a couple times a week, your hair will thank you. Those once dried out locks become shiny, more vibrant, and absolutely beautifully moisturized.

I can tell that this has been almost “insulating” my hair from the sun, while locking in moisture. Now when I swim in the pool, I don’t have to worry about the chlorine and various other chemicals harming my hair. I can put this in my hair before a dip and it doesn’t come out in the pool. It remains safely in my hair without seeing it flowing oily through the pool water.

My hair is now naturally healthy, with a luxurious shine that I can’t resist. This has been a lifeline to my dried out damaged hair. It has revitalized my strands to make them luminous and fabulous.!!

This can also be put on the scalp during pre-shampoo treatment to give your scalp some moisture as well. I have dry scalp that becomes itchy and bothersome. Since I have been using the Huile De Palme, my scalp has forgotten the itchiness that was once there.

Leonor Greyl products are amazing!! They are all natural, so you don’t have to worry about putting harsh chemicals on top of damaged or dry hair, and they smell good as well.

BUY IT: You can buy this amazing detangling, hair reviving protect for $50 on their website.

Avitalin Gentle Micropeel Review

Avitalin Gentle Micropeel
This is an amazing at home peel to help remove dead skin cells even for those with sensitive skin. I have rarely seen a skin peel that sensitive skin types can tolerate. It usually blotches up their face.
So- I took this over to my moms house and she and I had a little spa time rendezvous while having a little mother/daughter time. She and I both was eager to try this micropeel.
My mom has sensitive skin and her face stays dry almost all the time. She wanted to give this a go and so did I. I wanted to see if it really stood up to the promise of sensitive skin. Since I have non-sensitive oily skin- I had to have another tester =)
What you do is drop a few drops onto fingertips and apply to face and neck. She and I did this and waited for the full three minutes that is said on the directions. I almost immediately felt a tingle- which is a good thing when your dealing with a peel.
We rinsed with warm water and patted our faces dry. I begin to inspect her skin to see if there were any blotches of red skin—AND…………
NOPE- there was NOT any red spot(s) to be found. AND her dry skin seemed so refreshed. I know my face felt amazing after using it, and she said she thought so too.
If you have oily skin like I do- you can use this up to 3 times a week because our skin cells produce faster then dry skin cells do. If you have dry skin- you should only use this once a week and without any other exfoliator.

It comes in a pump action bottle so that it is extremely easy just to get the right amount that is needed to get your face and neck. This makes sure that you aren’t overdoing it and wasting product. The peel is a thin liquidy white/clear color, and it doesn’t really have a smell.

Caution: Do not use if you are pregnant, have extremely sensitive skin, or are currently using prescription skin-care products.

Klorane Nourishing Treatment Mango Butter Shampoo & Conditoner Review

Klorane Nourishing Mango Butter Shampoo & Nourishing Mango Butter Conditioner

 

Klorane specifically selected Mango butter because of it’s nourishing properties. It also has the essential fatty acids that hair needs to restore to a healthy, vibrant look.

I have been using this shampoo and conditioner for awhile now, and I am seriously in love with these items. Even the shampoo has a creamy, silky texture that just seeps into the hair and leaves it feeling ABSOLUTELY amazing.

I blow-dry and straighten my hair every single day. It has really made an impact on my hair. My hair was beginning to feel dried out and dehydrated. The ends were looking rough and were starting to itch my back when I wore it down.

You can leave the shampoo AND conditioner on for 2-3 minutes instead of washing it out right after putting it on, so that your hair gets time to soak up even more of the treatment!

The pictures below Shampoo (left) and Conditioner (Right)

This shampoo and conditioner line from Klorane is BRILLIANT. Not only has my hair begun feel the silky smooth that it used to before the damage, but it also has reduced the frizz after I blow-dry it, so I don’t have to straighten it. This will eventually lead to less damage over time because I am not straightening it every single day.

I don’t even really need to conditioner, just the shampoo is WAY more nourishing then most commercial brands. But when using both the shampoo and conditioner, I’m pretty sure my hair thinks that it has gone to heaven. It soaks up the nutrients and fatty acids as if it were completely dead.

I had never used mango in a hair care line before, and let me tell you- I am SO glad I have. I So feel like I’ve been at the spa because this smells absolutely delicious and my hair looks amazing.

The conditioner locks in moisture so that your hair stays hydrated all DAY long. I couldn’t help but keep running my hands through my hair because it felt SOOO awesome. My hair has become more healthy, more manageable, shinier, and WITH NO knots what-so-ever.

If your hair is dry or damaged, I would HIGHLY recommend these products to you. As soon as you drop some of either into your palm, you can automatically tell WHY it works so well on the hair because it feels like pure silk. They are creamy and ORANGE.. ♥

The bottles are quite big, so just one bottle of the shampoo and conditioner will leave you with at least 2 months of use (even if you use it every day). The conditioner might run a little shorter than 2 months but if you do- You can just use the shampoo and not even worry about the conditioner.

I would rate both of these products a 10/10 on my hair care list. These are absolute must haves for those locks just begging for moisture. SO- what are you waiting for?

The website it AMAZING- you can search products by your hair type, by categories, or by the main ingredient within the hair care. I LOVED looking at all of their different ingredients. I’ve never seen a hair care company with so many amazing options.

BUY IT: You can buy Klorane on their website HERE,  online here, or on Amazon.

Superfood Review: Raw Organic Chocolate

These Certified Organic energy nuggets are made with raw ingredients that will help you to stay energized without the artificial additives. They are little balls of raw chocolate mixed with other ingredients. They come in 4 flavors; Chocolate Goji Treats, Green Chocolate Dream, Brazilian Chocolate Ecstasy, and Chocolate Cherry Qi.

I was excited to try these, because I absolutely LOVE chocolate. I also loved that they were supposed to give natural energy. The packages were very colorful and looked like coffee bags.

I opened them up one by one and took a smell test- they ALL did smell like raw chocolate. It also smelled sort of like raw coffee grounds or something.

I picked them up and they felt like a mushy cookie dough ball with a grainy texture. I took a bite and immediately spit it out. I didn’t like it at all. I thought maybe it was because I had never eaten raw chocolate or gluten free anything.

The taste was horrible. I felt like I was eating coffee crumbles, and the texture was horribly grainy. I had a horrible taste in my mouth after eating it. I ended up having one of my friends try this- she is more into the whole-food gluten free stuff, and she said the same thing- it’s too grainy and has a nasty aftertaste.

I will NOT be eating this again in the future. I don’t think I would eat it unless that’s the only thing I HAD to eat on a desert island or stranded somewhere, which I probably wouldn’t have them with me anyway.

Daddy & Son Sharing Traditions

When I was a little girl, I’m pretty sure I only owned matchbox cars, footballs, baseballs, and army men. I could be found outside digging in the dirt, making roads for my cars to drive on.

That’s right- I was a tomboy! Even when I got older- I would rather ride 4 wheelers or go horseback riding then hang out at the mall after school. I have always liked watching baseball as well as playing it.

When I was in 5th or 6th grades, the boys on the team (just during recess) doubted my abilities because I was petite. Boy did I sure show THEM! They were amazed at how well I could catch and how fast I could run! I was like the wind!

When I got into middle school and high school, I loved going to games and watching. It’s the excitement, the fun, the “team” aspect of it. It just excites me. Did I mention that I was half crazy during these games?

I definitely did! You could see me in the stands, all decked out in my baseball apparel- shirt the color of the team, face paintings, and all. Then when I was a junior- I met Adam.

He and I started going to games together when we could. He introduced me to fitted hats, which I am now addicted to. Adam hates wearing a hat that isn’t fitted- it hurts his head.

I didn’t like wearing non-fitted hats because my head is small and I’d have to practically hold them on to keep them from completely falling off. Every time he and I go hat shopping- you’ll see him head straight for the fitted section.

If he gets a non-fitted hat for Christmas- he will NOT wear it. Now that we have a son, he has passed this on to Aidan. Aidan LOVES hats. He will put them on and pretend to be “Daddy”. He will walk into the room and say “I’m not Aidan, I’m daddy”. It cracks me up.

I really like the fitted hats because now Aidan can share hats with Adam. It makes him feel Oh-so-special and puts a smile on my face…

Review: Geeks Mobile USA

Geeks Mobile USA provided me with a free “computer clean up” or PC optimization, in exchange for a review of the clean-up. Computer help has such an amazing clean up service because they offer 24/7 United States based tech support and services.


I don’t know how many times I’ve been blogging late at night and had issues with my computer. I’d have to wait until morning to be able to contact someone, and I’d be out of getting anything done ALL night. Not only was it frustrating, but it put me SO far behind that it was almost too much to catch up on.

For me, as a freelance writer and blogger- I use my computer daily- more hours then not, and when I can’t access anything- I get very irritated. I have deadlines that I have to meet, and when I can’t meet them, I may miss out on money that I desperately need to raise my family.

Mostly- they would either want me to bring it up to have it worked on, and I’d have to leave it for a week or so. OR they wanted me to mail it to them which would probably take a month or more. NO- that wasn’t and isn’t an option for me.

I had to take my computer and leave it at the store- get a loaner- and be without all my pictures, files, and information for more than a month! Every since THAT experience, I decided a remote technical support that is available 24/7 is definitely WAY better.

Not only can you reach them on their website, but you can call them while in the middle of the computer messing up, tell them what problems your having, and they will help you figure out what is going wrong.
My computer has been very slow and not letting me download any updates at all, no matter what it is- even if it was just Adobe Reader updates. Once in connection with Computer Help, I didn’t have anything else further to do.

They just wanted me to keep the computer plugged in while they worked on it from their site, so they had constant access to it. It was awesome yo be able to look at the computer screen and seeing them work, being able to tell what they were deleting, and seeing the mouse moving up and down.The procedure took about an hour, but it was absolutely worth it; without a DOUBT!

They call you and let you know when the job is finished and the updates on what was wrong with the computer in the first place.

Here is what they got off of my computer:
9 needed updates to critical programs
7 programs that needed to be uninstalled because they were slowing down the computer.
There were also tons of temporary internet files that were slowing it down that were removed.
And they had to speed it up, there were programs starting up when I turned on my computer that didn't really need to start up.

Now I can just click on them when I need them, instead of them starting up automatically.

After they were done, I started up my computer and could instantly tell that my computer was back to new. The speed of the computer was 100x better. There was absolutely NO waiting for programs to load. Everything is operating quickly, more efficient, and with ease.

No more problematic pop-ups that drive me insane. There were tons of pop-ups telling me that my computer wasn't up to speed. Now it hasn't popped up since they did their magic.

Now YOU can have your computer up and operating without even leaving the comfort of your house. No more driving through town looking for an open computer store and then being charged an arm and a leg. With Computer Help Today, you don’t even have to change out of your pajamas. =)

The best thing about it is, you don’t have to listen to an automated service that ends up taking you back to the main menu a thousand times because you didn’t hear the option you wanted.

You’ll talk to a REAL live person- any time during the day or night. Call them at 888-855-1805.

If you have a small business, you can also get computer support for it with Computer Help Today's sister site ALL IT Supported

An Auto Insurance Checkup To Keep Your Costs Low

Who wouldn’t want to open their auto insurance bill and see that the cost of coverage has gone down? Well, that’s an easy one to answer. Everyone would want to save some money on their auto insurance costs. Well, just because you’ve had the same policy with the same auto insurance company for years doesn’t mean you can’t still save some money. What you need is an auto insurance check-up. Getting an auto insurance check-up is easy, and may turn out to be something that saves you some money in the process.

Comparison Shopping

The first step in getting your auto insurance check-up is to do a little comparison shopping. Get yourself no fewer than 6 auto insurance quotes to compare with what you’re currently paying for auto insurance coverage. It’s important, however, to make sure each quote is for identical coverage of what you already have. Getting quotes on differing amounts and types of coverage won’t give you an accurate picture of what’s your best buy. Once you’ve got the quotes compare them to see which one gives you the most savings.

Deductibles

You should also consider having a higher deductible. Did you know that the higher your deductible, the lower your annual premium costs are? That sounds risky, but most people drive their entire lives without getting in an accident. Even if you are unfortunately involved in an auto accident, that higher deductible may still end up being less than what you would have paid by paying higher premiums over the years. It’s definitely something to consider.

Coverage

The next step in your auto insurance check-up is to make sure you’ve got adequate coverage. Sometimes not having enough coverage can wind up costing you more in the long run, than if you had good coverage from the start. Consult with your auto insurance provider and review what your current coverage is, and consider what additional coverage you may want to obtain.

Discounts!

Finally, this auto insurance check-up wouldn’t be complete without seeing if you qualify for auto insurance discounts. Most auto insurance companies will offer consumers a number of various discounts. A good driving record, defensive driving training, multiple policies or multiple vehicles on the same policy and many other policy discounts may be something you quality for. Be sure to ask about all the discounts available through your insurance provider.

There are many ways to personally tweak your auto insurance to ensure that you get the best possible deal for you. For more helpful resources, start with the articles at gapinsurancequotes.org

Book Review: Enlightenment for Nitwits

 

Shepherd Hoodwin has been channeling since 1986, and specializes in the fascinating Michael teachings, about how we set up our lifetimes. He is an intuitive, workshop leader, and teacher. He also does healing, mediumship, past-life readings and therapy, counseling, and channeling coaching (teaching others to channel). His most recent book is the humorous “Enlightenment for Nitwits: The Complete Guide to 2012 & Beyond!” Shepherd lives in Laguna Niguel, California, and graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in music.

Make sure you follow Shepherd on Facebook & Twitter, as well as his website!

Now for the book:

Enlightenment for Nitwits: The Complete Guide to 2012 & Beyond.

This is the first metaphysical/self-help humor collection. It is full of hilarious one-liners and mind-bending pieces on a wide range of subjects:

• Announcement from the Mayan Calendar Committee
• My Toilet Runneth Over,
• A Lesson in Impatience
• Breatharians & Sun Gazers
• Bed Death & Beyond
• Outsourcing & UFOs
• This Just in from God:
• It’s Not Easy Being An Old Soul
• The Tao Travel Agency
• Politics & Naked Shopping
• Lipstick on Pig Splotches
• Poetry Slammed
• Potty Training Your Inner Child
• Self-Confidence for Total Losers
• Do-It-Yourself Near-Death Experiences

 

My Thoughts*

This book contains 45 short chapters  which contain all the above and more. What really lured me in and made me want to read this book was I thought it was going to be a fun type fact book.

This wasn’t the self help book that I expected it to be, instead it is a book about ridicule and satire of human life. If you're put off by debatable  topics that are the heat of controversy; sexual preferences, religion etc. this is NOT the book for you- OR maybe it IS you just don’t know it yet.

This book cracks me up with “I’m not overweight, I’m under-height”. Could you imagine someone really being as tall as they think they should be to manage out their weight. I’m pretty sure we’d have to re-do houses and office buildings =) Especially here in the south where everything seems to be deep-fried with extra extra butter.

Discussing any more of the topics will surely give it away, and you should definitely read it for yourself..

About the Author - a brilliant and witty writer Shepherd Hoodwin who has also written "Loving from your Soul" and another of my favourites "Meditations for Self-Discovery" is now presenting another masterpiece "Enlightenment for Nitwits"

You can buy this book on Amazon; both in paperback and kindle version. It is also available @ Barnes & Noble.

Ecowell Dog Shampoo & Spray Review

Dirty & Hairy Shampoo with
Citronella

*Removes Deep Down Dirt

*Neutralizes Foul Odors

*Light, Fresh Scent is long lasting'

*natural alternate

For the outdoor dog! To use: Massage onto wet coat. Rinse. Follow with love and praise

Go ahead, let your dog play in the mud, frolic in the forest and hike in the mountains. It’s what dogs love to do. Dirty and Hairy is formulated for just such a dog. This gentle, fresh-smelling shampoo will clean, condition and protect with citronella oil but it will not strip essential oils from your pet’s skin. There are no detergents or pyrenthrin based pesticides. The natural, human grade ingredients are perfectly safe for puppies, people and their pets.

My Thoughts*

Cheyenne can get really dirty, very quickly. She is an outside dog that is chained up practically in the dirtiest spot in the yard. It’s basically the only spot with a large tree to keep her shaded in the summer though.

Where she is an Alaskan Malamute, her hair is really really thick- so it takes an extra special shampoo to get all those knots and tangles as well as the dirt out.

My mom helped me out with this one, because there was no way that I could wash her AND take pictures. She doesn’t like baths too well, so she was practically shaking her fur the entire time.. lol.

This dog shampoo is specifically designed to get the deep down dirt and kill the odor that come with it. Cheyenne’s fur was matted pretty bad before using this shampoo.

After we started washing her, (AND brushing) the knots were coming right out. She has a problem with rolling around in mud, so the knots were also crusted with mud.

At first my mom thought that we were going to have to cut her hair just to get them out- we didn’t though. The shampoo smelled really good on her as well. It smelled like a mixture of green tea and lime.

I was amazed that her coat was still looking extremely healthy, vibrant, and shiny after a week and a half- which was when we gave her yet another bath. This gentle, fresh-smelling shampoo will not strip essential oils from your pet's skin, and will not wash out spot-on flea and tick products.

You can buy the shampoo for $9.99 for 16 oz. flip top bottle

I was amazed with this shampoo- I can’t wait to use it on our new baby pit bull Apollo.

 

Outdoor Spray with Citronella

*Neutralizes odor

*Quickly freshens a smelly dog

The natural human-grade ingredients are safe for people, puppies and pets. This product is perfect for those days when there's just not enough time to bathe the dog!

Natural pet spray contains ingredients that provide outdoor protection while neutralizing bad smells. It can also be used on bedding, carpets, and furniture.

I used this on Apollo because he is still so very small, and I was scared to give him an actual bath. He despises the water something awful. So- all we had to do was spray this on his coat and he was good as new.

He smelled good for awhile before we had to use it again. I love that they carry both shampoos AND sprays. It was so much easier just to spray Apollo then give him an entire bath because he jumps everywhere and tries to get out of the baby pool something fierce.

I didn’t have to fight with him about the spray though. I didn’t even have to hold him down. I just called him to me, grabbed his collar and went to spraying. SO much easier.

You can purchase both of these items from their website
