Bodycology Review

I received Coconut-Lime Body Cream from Bodycology last year. I couldn't write the review then, because my power surged and killed my laptop. So here I have for you the review I couldn't write.



Coconut Lime Body Cream

Uplifting

The sweet scent of coconut mingles with refreshing lime to help relieve stress and tension – like a tropical island getaway.

For Daily Rejuvenation: Smooth over skin, giving special care to dry or rough areas such as hands, elbows, knees and heels – for softening that feels like blissful indulgence.

Beneficial Ingredients:

Moisturizing Aloe Vera, Shea Butter and Nourishing Vitamins E & C.

Bodycology is awesome. How awesome? VERY.

The lotion I received made me feel like a pampered queen, and guess what? The products are cheap! So for a mom, this is amazing. Very good quality for a cheap price.

It smelled AWESOME. I had never experienced the smell of Coconut-lime before, until Bodycology. I didn't know what to expect, but after smelling it- I fell in love- DEEP DEEP LOVE.

It was thick, but not greasy. Smell-good but not overpowering. The added Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, and Vitamins made my skin feel so silky and soft.

I have a skin disease called Keratosis pilaris (KP, also follicular keratosis).. It makes my skin kind of look like chicken skin..



Mine isn't this bad. I searched this on the net, and found this pic. But it's caused by jeans or clothes rubbing off hair follicles. I was told to use A LOT of body cream. I couldn't find any body cream that wasn't oily and greasy until Bodycology. I had tried many different creams in ranges of prices, and still Bodycology is my absolute favorite. It sinks in, doesn't stay on top of your skin, and the moisture STAYS in, and lasts all day. Most other creams I tried, I'd have to wait what seemed like a lifetime for it to dry before I could put my clothes on- because my clothes would STICK to me. How can you pass on something that feels so good, smells so good, and doesn't cost you an arm and a leg? I can't. Being a mom means being beautiful on a budget. I can't go out and spend hundreds on a beauty product when I have kids to take care of.

Bodycology products smell and feel just like Bath & Body Works, but isn't as high priced. I think it's an amazing deal. Would I recommend this to you? Most definitely.

On top of that. They offer a variety of other things. You could get anti-bacterial scrubbing soap..



Foaming hand-soap



They now have a thick body wash..



They also have much more. Like Perfume, Body mist, hand and body lotion, and AMAZING gift sets.

Eshakti Review

 

Eshakti (The Company)

Their Mission:

• To make every customer look her absolute best.
• Provide amazing styles and a wide variety of fabrics and color choices in all sizes from 0-26.
• Ensure the best possible fit and fall by providing all customers with the ability to personalize any item.

Their Vision:

• One size does not fit all and all sizes are not created equal. For too long women have been forced to conform to standard sizing that too often doesn’t fit properly.
• At eShakti, a customer can shop for exactly what she wants - no compromise. She can ask for her size, including custom size and often change the style as well, and even the color in many cases. At eShakti, a customer will never hear her size is not available.

Their Policy:

• Offer trendy, comfortable styles in a selection of fabrics.
• Provide the full size selection from 0 to 26W. We also offer custom sizes.
• Empower the customer by providing the option to change the styling to suit her body.
•Simple, no hassle, money-back guarantee on sales returns.
• All items, including custom orders are shipped in 3 days or less and should arrive at your door within 7 days.

eShakti – what’s in a name!

The inspiration is from Shakti, which in Sanskrit means power. eShakti is pronounced e-Shuck-tee – but e-Shack-tee works too! eShakti is about empowering you, our customer, with customization in every design - to give you your size, your style, your color, your choice.

To give you a great fit and fall they offer you the option of choosing from Standard Sizes or giving you Custom Size measurements.
The measurements you give them is crucial to deliver the best fit and has to be as accurate as possible without any allowance or guess work.

While choosing a size, they recommend you not to go up or down with your measurements hoping to get a looser or tighter fit based on the silhouette of the product displayed.

It’s best to give them the exact body measurements and drop them an email if you need to leave any special instruction regarding the order.

You can re-design and customize any of the products to make them especially fit you. If you don’t know your measurements you may have some issues, but if you do your good to go.

They have some really cute items..

These are from the little black dress collection.. I like all of these. They are well designed and look classic and beautiful.

Wouldn’t these just be fabulous to keep you warm? They look so sophisticated and would bring overall appearance together. Rather than wearing a bulky over-jacket, pick something you can feel great in.

They have managed to create dresses EVEN I will wear, and I’m telling you- I do not usually wear dresses. If I could get one of these to fit me, I would SO go for it.

Some other very cute dresses and skirts..

They even carry accessories.. bracelets, pins, and purses

The Product-

These are the pants I received from Eshakti

Details:
Pleating below the removable sash tied waistband adds ease to the shape of smooth cotton poplin pants designed with flared legs and a longer inseam.

Zip fly with button-tab closure.

Back velt pockets.

Full length.

Poplin - 100% Cotton, woven, no stretch, mid-weight.

Machine wash dark colors separately.

 

My review of the pants:

I thought they were going to be great fitting black pants that I could look professional in.

I was wrong. The extra pleats made this pants swallow me whole. I don’t blame the company for this, I just wish I had picked another product other than the one I got.

The fitting was terrible, and I didn’t like how the pants felt or looked.

Eshakti would still be a good place to buy dresses from.

You can visit them on their website, facebook, and twitter.

`I was not compensated for this review. I agreed to write an honest review for an exchange of a product.

This is my opinion of the product & I thank Eshakti for allowing me this pleasure.

MY Review

Rebinder Review. You can view their website {here}

{Pics of Binders}

I really love these binders. There aren't many cardboard style binders these days, they all have designs on them or just plain black or white. Anybody that knows me will tell you that I am like a hoarder when it comes to binders. I love buying new binders, paper, and such. I can always manage to find something to put in it. The Rebinder Collection that I got sent came with 2 binders, a folder, and a cd holder, as well as page dividers.

These Binders are so strong and durable because they are made from recycled cardboard, so not only are you getting a good deal, your saving the earth by recycling what has already been used. I am glad to see that companies are becoming earth friendly. Thinking about the ways their products effect the earth. These Binders are awesome because not only are they sturdy, but they are easy to write on, draw on, or tape stuff too. That way you can personalize your binder, and make it yours. When you get the plastic binders, if they are black, you usually have to have a silver marker. If you have the white ones, you can write on them, but I can say that I would much rather have a binder from Rebinder, than any other.

The other plastic binders split easy and are hard to maintain a fresh look. They get dirty and the sides can rip off. Not too fun, especially if you want to KEEP the binders, and not have to replace them. Believe me, they can be expensive. Are these binders worth buying? Most definitely, I would recommend these to students, teachers, or just anyone looking for something sturdy and earth friendly to hold their work in.

I want to say thanks to the Rebinder company for allowing me to review their products. I was not paid in any way to write this. I agreed to write the review for a sample of product, nothing more. This is my own opinion and not persuaded in anyway.

Fearless Fourteen- Janet Evanovich (book Review)

Fearless Fourteen- Janet Evanovich

*Book Jacket Review*
Stephanie’s latest skip is Loretta Rizzi, a stressed out single mom who recently help up a liquor store- “I needed a Tom Collins.”- and who just happens to be a cousin of Joe Morelli. Seems trouble runs in the family: Joe’s other cousin Dom- robs banks for a living. His latest take: 9 million dollars stashed… Well, your not the only one who wants to know.
Loretta’s on the lam, and she only agrees to be brought in on one condition: that Stephanie pick up her son, Mario (street name: Zook) from school while Loretta gets bonded out. Plum luck being what it is, Loretta doesn’t get the bond. And now Stephanie’s playing nanny to a 14-year-old tough guy she can neither shoot nor shake down.
Meanwhile, less than a week after Dom gets out of the slammer, shadowy figures are breaking into Joe Morelli’s house. Plus, he’s getting threatening messages-and now Dom’s gone missing. On top of all that security expert Carlos Manoso- a.k.a Ranger-has a job for Stephanie that will involve nightmare night work: babysitting an aging rock diva who eats bodyguards for breakfast!
And you thought YOU had it bad>
Bottom line: Only the fearless should read Fourteen.

*My Review*
Loretta Rizzi, a single mom holds up a liquor store just for a bottle of vodka, so that she may make her a Tom Collins. Now she’s in deep trouble because she has skipped bail, and the only way she will agree to be taken back to jail- Stephanie has to be there for her son. Stephanie’s luck lands her in the middle of a babysitting job (make that TWO) and she isn’t sure which one is worse.
