NightCare Heel Treatment Kit Review

We are dedicated to providing you products with the sole focus of helping you look and feel your best. We offer skin care for the hands and feet as well as foot comfort products for your shoes. Enjoy!

I had never heard of NightCare products before I was approached to review their Heel Treatment Kit. Being a mom I am constantly on my feet and by the end of the day not only am I exhausted but my feet are tired as well. To top it off I get the added bonus of having dry skin on my heels from standing all day. UGH!

The NightCare Heel Treatment Kit includes a Moisturizing Gel Heel Sock and a 2 oz. tube of Intensive Healing Foot Cream. Together these products are designed to soften dry skin and moisturize with vitamins to help heal and prevent dry cracked heels.

When I received my kit and read over the contents and directions on the box I was initially disappointed. I was going to have to wear socks to bed. Another Ugh! I have this weird thing about feeling like my feet are suffocating if I wear socks to bed. Weird huh? It's very uncomfortable for me and I especially hate my feet feeling hot. When I opened up the box and took a look at the "Heel Socks" I actually felt a little relief. These are like socks, but not. They slip over your feet and have a gel padding that fits perfectly over your heel but your toes are actually not covered. It's like a little sock for your heel. A little soothing and refreshing and moisturizing sock for your heel. The first night I applied the foot cream to my tired tootsies and they immediately felt rehydrated. Did I even need the socks? I went ahead and put them on anyway. Immediately I loved the cool sensation the gel gave my heels and believe it or not these were actually very comfortable to wear. The first morning after wearing them for the entire night I took them off and my heels were no longer dry and actually felt super smooth and soft. I was very impressed. Since then I have been wearing my heel socks about every other day and my heels have never felt better. The lotion is just an added bonus!

Currently you can purchase a NightCare Heel Treatment Kit for the sale price of $20.00. If you are someone that is on your feet all day or just loves a little pampering I would definitely recommend it.
Be sure to check out all the other NightCare products as well.

GreenSmart Review

There as so many Green products out there these days that we have lots of choices. Everything from clothing to bags, you name it. I recently learned about GreenSmart and their fabulous eco- friendly laptop sleeves and after checking out all the styles I had to try one out. 

Their mission is to offer bags that make you feel good. Any brand can make attractive bags and be indifferent to the resources it takes to make them. GreenSmart is different. GreenSmart cares. Using eco-friendly materials and socially responsible labor are two of the most significant ways we have to embed thoughtfulness into the design of a bag. Who doesn’t want to see recyclable materials (plastic bottles) turned into something functional and beautiful?

They used to make bags from from polyester, neoprene and nylon. Back in the 20th Century that was the only choice they had for durable fabrics. Along with the new numbers, the 21st Century has offered great strides in material options for bag-making and they try to utilize them exclusively. They hope that their commitment will continue to delight consumers and make a difference.

Here is the bag that I decided on. It's the 16" Markhor, it is fully padded and sized for a 16" laptop, with extra padding in the corners. It also has two zipped pockets on the front and a filling pocket in back. I really could have used this nice bag in college when I was taking my laptop to the library and to class everyday. This is a great bag. It's functional and I feel safe that my laptop is completely protected in it.

With Graduation coming up this would make a great gift for those high school students that are going off to college. They have a variety of styles to choose from. In addition to laptop sleeves and carry bags GreenSmart also carries messenger bags, backpacks and water holders. All of which would also make a nice graduation/going away to college gift. Go Green!

Their products are free of artificial colors and fragrances making them hypoallergenic and safe for the most sensitive skin. They are also free of harsh chemicals and synthetics making them safe and non toxic. In addition Vermont Soap products are never tested on animals. You can read more information on "What is Natural?" on their website.

Vermont Soap Organics carries a large selection of products from bar soaps to shower gels as well as products for baby and household cleaners. They even have a pet shampoo for your furry friend! I was given the opportunity to review their newest addition to their line of Foaming Hand Soaps. Tea Tree Mint Foaming Hand Soap.

Their Foaming Hand Soap's are made with organic oils and are safe and nontoxic for all living things, except germs! They come in a convenient 7 oz. pump dispenser and you can purchase 16 oz. bottles to refill your dispenser once it is empty. You can choose from four different foaming hand soaps including Unscented, Lavender Ecstasy, Lemongrass Zen, and the newest Tea Tree Mint.

The Tea Tree Mint Foaming Hand Soap combines the power of Tea Tree Oil with the fresh scent of American grown Peppermint Oil. It is made from renewable vegetable and botanical sources:  saponified organic coconut, olive and jojoba oils, glycerin, natural mint tea tree essential oil blend with lavender oil, organic aloe vera and organic rosemary extract.

I love foaming hand soaps and this one is particularly nice. Not only because it is completely natural and extremely mild on skin but I love how much the soap foams up. Only a little is needed to wash your hands and keep them germ free. The scent is minty and also very refreshing. I love that I don't have to worry about the ingredients in this soap, especially because both my husband and daughter have really sensitive skin. This is a great hand soap!

Sue Devitt Tinted Moisturizer Review

I was given the opportunity to review yet another Sue Devitt beauty product. SpaComplexion Hydrating Marine Minerals Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15. This lightweight moisturizer offers sheer coverage as well as antioxidant benefits that help protect the skin from harsh environmental exposure and premature photo-aging.

This moisturizer comes in 3 different shades to blend in evenly to any skin tone. Application is very smooth and absorbs quickly into your skin leaving a soft almost powdery feel to it. It is very natural looking and does a nice job of evening out your skin. It gives the look of flawless skin without the look or feel of being overly made up. This stuff is great for people with sensitive or dry skin. It is gentle and does a nice job of moisturizing.

You can get SpaComplexion Hydrating Marine Minerals Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15 online for $40.00 or check out their store locator to find retail stores near you that carry Sue Devitt products.
