Shoplet Medline Cleansing Products Review

Shoplet carries more than just office supplies & promotional products. This time around I was sent some Medline products; cleansing foam, nourishing moisturizer, hydrating moisturizer, and flushable wipes.

Medline introduces a breakthrough with the Readyflush flushable personal cleansing cloths. ReadyFlush is a flushable & dispersible, single patient use wet wipe made from hydraspun dispersible cloth fibers. These cloths are pre-moistened and come in a pack of 24.

These wipes are highly biodegradable. The high cellulosic content provide strength as you wipe but quickly breakdown when flushed down the toilet. The cellulosic content within the wipes are called Hydraspun and is exclusive only to Medline.

These wipes are three times larger than other flushable wipes measuring at 8x12in. The larger size allows for you to clean more space while using less wipes! Win-win! These can be used in place of baby wipes as well (for those in the NICU or if the baby has eczema or sensitive skin).

Remedy 4-in-1 cleansing foam cleanses, moisturizes, and nourishes skin in one step. One bottle contains more than 340 pumps of cleanser. It has a phospholipid base that binds both water and nutrients to gently clean and condition the skin.

This is a great thing to have on hand If you have an elderly mom or dad at home, or just brought a baby home from the hospital. It’s great because it contain ingredients from natural and organic oils that mimic the body's natural lipids.

This can also be used in the shower in place of soap, shampoo, and body wash. Olivamine is a blend of antioxidants, amino acids, and vitamins. The best thing is if you do have a bedridden elderly parent at home that has limited access to a shower, this doesn’t make them itch like normal foaming cleansers would.

You can definitely throw this in a diaper bag and use it as a wash when they wet themselves on the go. You don’t have to rinse it off, I am going to buy some of this for my really good friend who is about to have a baby! She could easily wipe this off with a wipe or paper towel.

I’ve substituted this on my kids in the bath for shampoo and body wash. It is tear free, hypoallergenic, and moisturizes really well. You don’t have to even rinse this out of their hair, like a normal shampoo (although I did). It quickly gets rid of product build up and dirt.

 

This nourishing moisturizer is amazing at keeping the skin supple, silky, and smooth. It has many healing properties, which makes it great for many skin conditions. It can be used to heal rashes, eczema, keratosis pilarisis (chicken skin), and many more!

It helps to restore the nutrients and hydration to dry, cracked skin to maintain it’s natural moisture barrier. It is so amazing because it works so well yet isn’t greasy and doesn’t leave behind an oily residue. It really puts the nourishment back into dry cracked skin. It has a hint of vanilla fragrance which I love and find pleasing!

This hydrating moisturizer creates a breathable, waterresistant film over skin as it moisturizes and nourishes. It helps to reduce the appearance of red, cracked and scaly skin while soothing dry, itchy skin. This is hypoallergenic and safe to use for people with diabetes, premature babies, and even the most fragile skin.

This is a thick cream, but isn’t oily or leave a greasy residue. It can be used like a body butter after you get done showering. I love the fact that this will help with Winter skin. My skin gets extremely dry in the winter, especially after I shave. I can just rub a bit of this on my legs and it keeps them smooth and nourished all day!

GlamPact Makeup Palette Review

GlamPact is the first ever refillable, customizable makeup compact, complete with a rechargeable LED mirror for flawless makeup application anytime, anywhere! The makeup in GlamPact contains the best botanical and clinical ingredients that are anti-aging.

We’ve all had those days where we thought we had enough time to get something done, take a shower, do our hair, AND makeup. Then all of a sudden you look at the time and you have 20 minutes to be where you need to be and have to rush. Running out the door with wet hair and no makeup on, hoping for the best. I’m pretty sure my life is a ton of these moments slapped together.

I had a meeting with my son’s teacher, special ed teacher, and vice principal last Tuesday. The meeting didn’t start until noon, so I figured I would post a post or two on my blog before I had to get ready. I was so engrossed in my work that I looked at the time and I had JUST enough time to take a shower and blow dry my hair.

I ended up in the parking lot with 15 minutes to spare and feeling flustered. I was SO glad that I had the GlamPact Makeup Palette with me. If I hadn’t, I’m pretty sure his teachers would have thought I just woke up and came to the meeting. The GlamPact ended up being my BEST friend.

I had everything I needed to do my makeup right in this little palette. Foundation powder, eye shadow, lip gloss, powdered liner, AND the mirror lights up. I don’t know how many times I had to do my makeup in the rearview mirror and HOPE I didn’t look like a five year old had done my makeup because I couldn’t see that well.

The foundation is a powder, which is a CC (correction) powder that has anti-aging benefits. It helps to cover any redness or irritation. I wish it came with a cream AND powder inside.. THAT would be awesome. I love that it has 2 colors though, and it can be refilled again and again!

The eye shadows are both a neutral (the middle row) which is a beige and white, along with a black (that I use for liner), but I also use the purple at the top (which is a highlighter)! The lip glosses/liners help to smooth dry lips but also give them that plump look! I love that it comes with blush AND bronzer as well!

I walked in and didn’t feel that flustered, rushed feeling that I had when I left. I was super glad that I had this with me. This is ALWAYS in my makeup bag now. It has everything except mascara, I even use the black eye shadow for liner!!

You can purchase the GlamPact on Glam-It.com.

St. Ives Purify Exfoliating Sea Salt Body Wash Review @StIvesSkin

Smooth and renew your skin’s surface to reveal healthier looking skin with the all-natural exfoliants in Purify Body Wash. This refreshing body wash works to brighten dull skin while also providing moisture. Containing mineral salt and Pacific sea kelp, which help supply skin with vitamins and anti-oxidants, the Purify formula invigorates tired, sluggish skin. Complete your exfoliating routine after you shower with one of our perfectly formulated St. Ives Lotions.

The St. Ives Purifying Sea Salt Exfoliating Body Wash is amazing! I fell in love with it the first time I used it. I’ve always been a huge fan of the Apricot Blemish scrub, so I was very excited to give this a try!

I have always had oily skin, and going to the tanning bed 3 times a week hasn’t made it much better. I have never in my life had back acne in my life until I got my first tattoo (about a week before I got the body wash). For some reason as soon as I got the tattoo, tiny little bumps popped up on my shoulder blades/upper back area.

Within the first three days of using this body wash the bumps had drastically diminished. Within the first week they were gone completely. I love the way it feels on my body! The body wash itself is thick, rich, and creamy but the sea salt is very fine. I can feel it exfoliating the skin and gosh it feels great (especially on my feet)!

Dead skin cells build up over time, while dirt and sweat get trapped inside your pores. This is what causes the acne to begin with. The small sea salt particles scrub all that away to reveal flawless, amazing skin that is not only silky to the touch but smooth and hydrated.

This is definitely the best body scrub I’ve ever used in terms of exfoliation. It truly sloughs away the rough skin *on the bottom of my feet*. I love the fact that I’ll have this in the winter, my skin gets dry and scaly, now it will be hydrated and not so dried out.

The best part is that the ingredients are natural and it’s hypoallergenic. My daughter ended up writing on her leg with a pen and the regular kid body wash I use wouldn’t get it off. I put some of the St. Ives on a loofah and a few scrubs later all the pen marks were off!

I absolutely LOVE the scent of this! It doesn’t have a real “fragrance”. To me it smells like clean laundry or what I would imagine a summer breeze off the ocean would smell like. The scent lasts a LONG time and is invigorating. I also love the fact that St. Ives is ALWAYS affordable! This is high quality for low costs!

St Ives Purify Exfoliating Body Wash:

• Deep exfoliation with the benefit of sea kelp and mineral salt
• 100% natural exfoliants
• Formulated without parabens and phthalates
• Made with natural ingredients
• Hypoallergenic
• Purify formula invigorates tired, sluggish skin

Rejuve Vape Juice Pen Kit Review

The Rejuve Juice Pen™ is a rechargeable, refillable, and customizable vape pen. This vape pen kit features a 650mAh premium battery and vapor technology to produce a smooth yet robust smoking experience without harmful secondhand smoke, tar, carcinogens, or lingering odors. The Rejuve Vape Pen can be refilled with any PG, VG, or PG/VG liquid vapor (aka "e-liquid" or "vape juice") including our own Rejuve Premium Vape Juice, which comes in a variety of flavors and nicotine levels from 0mg to 18mg.

I have been smoking cigarettes for awhile now. I’ve wanted to stop smoking (or at least slack down) for awhile now, but nothing has worked for me. I have tried numerous electronic cigarettes but not one of them gave me the feeling that a real cigarette does. The smoke never truly felt like it was helping me much at all.

The Rejuve Juice Pen is different than most e-cigs because it is re-chargeable and re-fillable. It also helps save battery waste in the end because it lasts so long. It has absolutely no tar, smoke, or carcinogens. It comes in a variety of flavors and each flavor offers 0mg-12mg.

The Rejuve Juice Pen Kit comes with a charger and the battery inside is a 650mAh premium that is guaranteed to last almost year. It is fully charged, so you can just put the juice in and start vaping right away. The flavor that comes in the pack is Italian Coffee and is 0mg in nicotine.

The electronic disposable cigarettes haven’t gotten many compliments, no matter what brand. Sure there were a few brands that stood out, but most were the same. Any of the “flavors” didn’t taste as they said. Most sensed a burnt coffee flavor instead of the “tobacco” flavor. Even the menthol flavors weren’t producing the “cooling sensation” that a regular menthol cigarette gives.

They are disposable, so it’s just LIKE buying a regular pack of cigarettes other than it doesn’t have the tar. This means that once they are done, they’re done. No recharging, you have to buy another pack of disposables. When I used them, they didn’t give me a feeling like I’d JUST smoked a cigarette.. it wasn’t fulfilling the “need” that smokers have.

The rechargeable electronic cigarettes are better than the disposable, but the prices are much steeper. To get a starter pack, it could be anywhere from $75-$200. Once the cartridges run out you still have to buy more cartridges. Sure they don’t contain the tar or carcinogens that a regular cigarette has, but if you are trying to quit because it’s costly—this isn’t the path you should take.

That’s the reason Rejuve Juice Pen and Juices stand out to me. It is such an amazing alternative to both the disposable and e-cigarette. They are refillable, rechargeable, and the juices are super cheap. Together this will save you 1/5 of the money you’d spend on either disposables or e-cigarettes.

The quality of the pen is amazing, doesn’t take long at all to get the hang of, and only takes seconds to refill. The quality of the vapor is also amazing, When I smoke from the Rejuve pen, it actually feels like I’m smoking a flavored cigarette. So it fulfills the “need” that I have as a smoker. It keeps that antsy feeling away because the vapor actually does feel like it enters the lungs, whereas the others didn’t to me.

The battery can be charged right from the computer. The charger has a USB plug that fits in any normal USB socket and doesn’t take hardly any time to recharge! You just screw the bottom (the battery) into the opening of the pen and the light turns red. When the battery is fully charged, the light will turn green.

I love the fact that I can mix and match the juices inside the Rejuve pen to create tons of different tastes. I loved the 2 juices that I was sent- the Bombay Mango & the Fiji Apple. Both taste true to what they are and YES taste amazing when smoked as an alternative to a cigarette.

Get YOURS: The best part IS the Rejuve Juice Pen Kit starter pack is ONLY $29.99

Foot Pain? Think about Seeing a Podiatrist

Our feet get the brunt of our daily routines. Whether it’s walking the kids to the bus stop, running 2.5 miles for exercise, playing a game of basketball, or just working- our feet feel the pressure. If you have foot pain it could eventually lead to leg pain and even back pain.

Foot pain makes it hard for us to carry out our daily routines. If you have foot pain it could lead to balance issues, which could make falling over a severe issue (especially if you are older than 45). Being capable of continuing your daily activities without pain is extremely important.

Our feet are very sensitive; each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 120 muscles, nerves, ligaments, and tendons. All of this work together to support our body weight and make it easy for us to walk, run, and get exercise. They act as shock absorbers, help keep us balanced, and push forward with each step we take.

People tend to spend about 4 hours on their feet on a daily basis and more if they work in a factory. This can add up to 8-12 hours on your feet daily. Our feet are very small compared to the rest of our body, so they receive an extreme amount of pressure with each step. If you wear shoes that are too tight, too small, high heels, or narrow shoes this can add to your feet problems.

There are tons of foot problems that could end up causing you more and more pain throughout the years if not treated effectively. Since I’ve gotten older, I’ve managed to get bunions, calluses, and corns from wearing high heels. They can sometimes be VERY painful.

I noticed that years of standing on my feet have also worn down the skin on the ball of my foot. This makes it hard for me to wear high heels now unless I have gel insoles inside my shoes and still I can’t wear them for a very long time.

If you have toenail fungus which will also cause severe pain, you might want to consider getting laser treatment for foot pain. A laser is applied to the toenails that have been effected by the fungus, this channels heat in the form of light to the fungus, It not only treats the surface but removes the fungus from the entire nail bed. Get healthier feet now!

Krash Co. Pirate Skull Mohawk Helmet Review

I’ve had the amazing opportunity to work with KRASH which is the sister site of Raskullz, You may remember my Raskullz Ragdon Backpack review last year. My son absolutely loved it and got so many compliments on it. He thought it was the coolest thing. So this time, they let us choose a helmet, which is just what we needed.

Aidan got his first scooter this year, so we had to keep him safe. I’m not a helicopter mom, but I want to make sure that he is protected should he have an accident. He has fun on his scooter but he is also accident prone because he is everywhere at once, zooming and flying up and down the hallway or outside.

What better way to get them to wear their helmets then a unique helmet that any kid would love to sport?  We ended up getting the Pirate Skull Mohawk Helmet, because I knew I’d have a better chance of him wearing it every time he rides than a normal helmet. Other helmets just don’t have the awesomeness that these do. Every kid that has seen Aidan’s helmet has loved it.

KRASH has an amazing selection of protective gear to keep our kids safe, while bribing them with the “coolness” of the design. They have boys and girls helmets, and they are ALL very adorable and have their own style!

I don’t have to worry that he will not wear his helmet, he wears it even when he isn’t on his scooter. He thinks it’s the coolest thing on the planet right now. His half brother Alex came over and they ended up playing Reel Steel. Alex put Aidan’s helmet on and pretended he was Brutus, the spiked mohawk robot. It was cool to see them pretend playing with a Helmet, lol.

Unique and adorable is only what meets the eye, these helmets are CPSC and ASTM certified. They comply with CPSC and ASTM standards for bicycle helmets, and also, the helmet has a shock-absorbing EPS inner shell that is built to protect their head.

The helmet is very sturdy and durable. It has already been through the ringer and back and still looks brand new. The mohawk is made out of rubber, so it isn’t going to hurt them or break anytime soon!

The straps are made of nylon and very easy to adjust it so the helmet fits absolutely perfect. They also have cooling vents to keep their head cool, which is awesome so they don’t get sweaty. The helmet is available in different sizes that goes from kids 3+ to 8+ and has a retail price of 27.99.

We were at Wal-mart and seen the Kitty Raskullz hat and just had to get it for my daughter. She already had the Raskullz Cutie Cat Scooter, so she was SO excited to get the matching helmet!
