Elemental Herbs - Helping My Lips Stay Beautiful! [Review + Giveaway]

Image
I tend to get lazy about lip balm and forget to add this to my beauty bag. But recently I had an AWFUL experience with the EOS lip balm because my skin started to peel and it got weirdly sticky. I think it was just something in the EOS lip balm I was allergic too. So when that happened, I knew I had to find something different. I had the chance to try out lip balm by Elemental Herbs and I can't wait to tell you about it. I tried out a five lip balms from them -  Coconut Lip Balm   Original Lip Balm (with SPF!)   Spearmint Lip Balm   Organic Original Lip Balm   Tangerine Lip Balm Honestly, I really liked all of them. I liked the Original Lip Balm with SPF, because it had SPF. I don't own a car and I am going to be out in the sun more when walking home. So, having a lip balm that has SPF is important to me. It's not super high (SPF 12) but it's not something I see too often with lip balms. So this was very awesome to me. I loved the Spearmint and Ta

Happy Celiac Awareness Month! [& Giveaway!]

Image
This is an important month for Celiacs. I've not been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, but what has perked my interest is how celiacs cannot have gluten in their diets. Since going gluten-free, many times you hear a lot of information about being gluten-free alongside being diagnosed with Celiac. I partnered up with Glutino this month to boast about their amazing options for celiacs (or those of you who have a gluten allergy or are gluten sensitive). Before I get into my experience with Glutino , I have a few sites I can highly recommend to read more about Celiac disease - 1. CureCeliacDisease.org They have a very interesting frequently asked questions area where you can find out more about Celiac disease, whether or not a gluten sensitivity exists, and so much more. Pus they have an awesome guide on learning how to live with Celiac Disease as well. 2. CeliacCentral.org Here is also where you can find out more about Celiac disease, symptoms, and there's also in

CampusBookRental.com - Save Money on Summer College Session

Image
Are you in college and plan on going to summer school this year? I remember those days and having to tax on even MORE expenses to an already tight budget.

It's like your own personal campus bookstore with a heart. First, you get 40-90% off those sky-high bookstore prices. Nothing like purchasing a text book in the comfort of your own home while in your pajamas. Plus there is FREE shipping both ways, whether you are getting the book or returning it. This is nicer than trying to resell the text book for change (don't you hate buying a $200 text book to sell it back for $25?)

I like that a lot, because you don't want to

Beardsmen Spirit - Excellent Facial Hair Care for Men [Review]

Image
My brother had the chance to try out some facial hair care made by Beardsmen Spirit. He is beginning to really appreciate some of these beard care products! He always talks about how they improve the look of his facial hair and makes it easier to manage. So I was happy to ask him share his experience with everyone. Beardsmen Spirit "Bold Forest" beard Oil He automatically raved about this one. He thought it smelled wonderful. He said it absorbed nicely and left his facial hair looking shiny, full, and healthy. This came highly recommended especially because the size of the container. (He noticed most of the beard oil places don't send a large amount of oil; this container was a generous size). Beardsmen Spirit Mustache Wax He noticed right away that the mustache wax wasn't as easy to apply. He recommended putting this out in the direct sun (maybe by a window that gets sunlight) so the product softens a bit. When he was able to get enough of the product ou

Dove Fruit Chocolate - A Good Idea Anytime, Anywhere

Image
You know that food where you are fairly certain you could eat it until you are seriously not doing too well? I found this food in Dove Fruit Chocolate. I'm not always a fan of chocolate covered fruit because some times it's just too dried fruit tasting or the pieces of fruit are too small for me to appreciate. But when I tried Dove Fruit Chocolate I knew I had something amazing on my hands. You would be proud of me though because I shared this with my mom and brother and we spread it out over the week. This was just good stuff. I tried out three different kinds - Whole Cherries, Whole Blueberries, and Whole Cranberries. Each had a very unique flavor because of the fruit inside. My favorite was the Chocolate Covered Whole Cherries because you get great sized pieces of chocolate. I did enjoy the Chocolate Covered Whole Blueberries and Chocolate Covered Cranberries but not as much as the cherries. This is something I will look for again. What I really like about these c

I've gotten more and more into online shopping, especially with the lack of a car. With so many different websites to use, I think one of the most difficult things to do is choose which one you like best. One of the websites I think you should put down on your list is the Greater Good Shop . According to their website, a small portion of each item you purchase goes back to charity. They've partnered with Novica to bring some amazing items to purchase from and they import items from all over the world. Read more about Greater Good by following this link.

Why A Naturepedic Mattress Would Be A Wonderful Birthday Surprise!

I'm joining in the fun to win the chance for a Naturepedic EOS Standard Mattress. Blogger Mommy Greenest has a new book coming out called "The Mommy Greenest Guide to Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond" and best of all this book will be free for all you moms and moms-to-be out there. I think that's pretty amazing. She received help from a few brands to launch the book, such as Acure Organics, Babo Botanicals, Naturepedic, and Weleda. Actually I'm not so much entering this giveaway for myself,but I'm hoping I can win this new Naturepedic bed for my mom. She's been using the same mattress she's had for more than fifteen years. Things have been financially very hard lately and we just can't afford a new one right now. Every dollar counts and this kind of purchase would be impossible. It's an important purchase though because she's always talking about how terrible her mattress feels and it seems to Amazingly enough this giveaway ends rig

Way Better Snacks Are Way Better! [Review and Giveaway Ends 5/7]

Image
  I had the chance to try snacks made by Way Better which might just bring you to the question, "Why are they way better?" Well why don't I answer this for you (courtesy of Way Better Snacks). 1) Simple Ingredients 2) Sprouting, which gives you increased vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, digestibility, and nutrient absorption. 3) Great Taste 4) and last but not least, better for you! Their snacks are non-GMO Project Verified (VERY important to me), certified Gluten-Free, Certified Whole Grains Council, and many ingredients are Certified Organic. Those are important reasons why their snacks are way better! Read more about their company and how they started on their website. So for my review I had the chance to try out several different Way Better chips.
