ALO Short-sleeve Bamboo T-shirt Review


 Hello, GGG readers! I’m back. I took a break for a about a year to deal with some personal issues. My first review on my return is about ALO sports gear. ALO (Air Land Ocean) is an eco-friendly company that carries yoga lifestyle, fitness and active apparel.
                 
About 3 years ago I encountered ALO during a search online for more comfortable, breathable, professional and eco-friendly active apparel to wear to work. I’m a fitness instructor with sensitive skin and an eco-conscious. I needed affordable fitness gear that allowed me to sweat without clogging my pores.

I read the description of the ALO Short-sleeve Bamboo T-shirt and on the ALO Yoga pants, made of similar material. The shirts are made of 67% bamboo lyocell, 29% cotton, 4% spandex jersey. The bamboo wicks away any moisture (it really does) and is breathable (it really is). This sounded exactly like what I was looking for. I noticed the items were on sale for half the price. I had a gift card to use too. So, I took a chance and I bought the pants and the shirt.
                 
Hands down I loved the yoga pants and the bamboo t-shirt. I loved the solid colors of the clothing. I loved the way the clothes fit against my body, not tight, but fit to my curves. I loved the feel of the ALO clothing on my skin. I loved how soft it felt against my skin. It is one of the softest shirts I have ever owned. I love how it allowed my skin to breath and sweat through a workout without clogging up my pores.

I wore the shirt so much I wore it out…sort of. Years later, I still have the t-shirt and the pants. After so many years and so many washes the beautiful light blue color of the shirt has faded and not as attractive to wear to work, but I still wear it around the house. It isn’t as soft to wear anymore either, but surprisingly still softer than most clothing would be after so many washes and years. The yoga pants almost look new. They are still in G R EAT condition and I still use them quite a lot, 3-4 times a week. The fabric has not thinned or lost its elasticity.
                 
About a year or two ago I bought a maroon Short-sleeve Bamboo T-shirt and loved it too, I received a lot of compliments when wearing this shirt. People loved the color and the way it looked on me.

Today my 3rd and 4th Short-sleeve Bamboo T-shirt arrived. The colors are amazing, soft bright solid colors. The softness of the shirts against my skin is…almost like silk. I may be wrong, but they feel even softer than the first two I bought. The fit on my body is perfect. I can’t wait until I start wearing them this week. I know I’ll love them.

My only complaint is the expense. On my budget it is almost impossible for me to afford AOL clothing unless it’s on sale and if I have Amazon gift cards. If ALO wasn’t as expensive as it is I would have an entire wardrobe of ALO clothing: the ALO sports bra, pants, capris, tops, dresses, outerwear, accessories, etc. So, I’m constantly on the look out for really good AOL sports gear deals. I’ve found most of mine on Amazon.com

Feedmyskin Review

feedmyskin

With the summer heat it's always nice to cool off, especially for all you ladies that live in warmer climates! I have the perfect beauty product this summer that will not only pamper you but will keep you feeling cool and refreshed.
Feedmyskin products are going to make you and your skin feel rejuvenated with their fresh ingredients such as real strawberries, bananas, cocoa all combined with common sense and a heaping teaspoon of happiness...  These products are meant to be kept frozen for a quick pick me up for your skin.

I first decided to try the Melon Push Up, it is used to hydrate, tone and firm your skin while reducing everyday stress. This is exactly what I need with my new business keeping me busy and two kiddos demanding my attention. I have used this product several times now and I think it's great. I put it on sometimes in the morning when my skin is looking tired and puffy after a long day. It immediately wakes me and my skin up!. I think all mom's should have one of these calorie free Push Up's in the freezer.

I also tried the Scrub in a Tub.  It has been a while since I had used a body scrub and I don't know how I ever lived without it. This wonderful sugar scrub is made with sugar, Shea Butter, strawberries, bananas, coconut oil, coffee and cocoa powder. It sounds like something we should be eating and not rubbing on our body! The scrub starts out frozen of course so you have to defrost it before you use it. When you are ready for a nice yummy shower or bath you just grab a scoop and scrub it on! This stuff made my skin smell delicious and feel soft and smooth. Love it!
Last I tried the Pumpkin Peel Masque. This face mask is made with pumpkin, sugarcane, orange, ginger, nutmeg and other natural ingredients. After defrosting it you apply a thin layer to your skin and let the tingling begin. It felt really good and after washing my face my skin felt awake and super clean. This mask is even better when you follow it up with some Melon Push Up as recommended.
All of these products make great gifts for that woman that needs a little "me" time.

Dirty Jobs Complete Review

Are you a fan of the show Dirty Jobs? Well there is a new line of products out there sure to get all your messes squeaky clean.

My Dirty Jobs, LLC has found a way to clean the messiest disasters of carpet stains, laundry stains or any other dirt and grime with a brand new line of household cleaning products. This new line of cleaners offers a heavy duty stain remover, degreaser, all purpose cleaner, bathroom spray. and more. I was given the opportunity to try the Dirty Jobs Complete Heavy-Duty Stain Remover from the collection. This stain remover has a higher concentration of oxygen powered enzymes that is tough on stains, but gentle on fabrics and surfaces than any other stain remover on the market. This stuff works great! If you have kiddos that like to play in the dirt and mud and grass this stuff gets those stains out with no problem. It also works on grease! My husband has one particular shirt that he uses when he is working in the garage and I used this as a test shirt to see just how powerful Dirty Jobs Complete is. I was impressed that the shirt looked so much cleaner after washing it with Dirty Jobs. I wish I would have taken a picture to show you. While it didn't get out all the stains because some of them have set into the fabric from washing them with regular detergent. The shirt did look considerably cleaner after just one wash. If you or your husband have a  dirty job I recommend picking up some of this stain remover. I am curious to find out if the other products work just as well. You can purchase the Dirty Jobs line of products at your local Walmart. Click here for some money saving coupons!

TTC Starter Kit Review

For a little over two years my husband and I had been trying to have another baby. I finally decided it was time to go get checked out and make sure there were no medical reasons that were causing us to not be able to conceive. All the tests came back normal and no fertility issues were found. Then a few weeks before Christmas I took a pregnancy test just on a whim and to my surprise it was positive. You can't imagine how excited my husband and I were. So excited in fact that we immediately told friends and family and shared the news with our little girl. Unfortunately the excitement was short lived because a couple weeks after my first ultrasound I ended up having a miscarriage. We were devastated after waiting so long to get pregnant. I think the hardest part was trying to explain to our little girl that she was no longer going to be a big sister, at least not yet. In hindsight we should have waited to tell anyone until the first trimester but we never expected to go through anything like this. It's been a few months now and although we will never forget the little one we lost we are still hoping to have another. Our little girl prays every night for her baby sister and every day that goes by I wonder if this is the day.

A little over a month ago I came across a company called ConceiveEasy and there Trying To Conceive Kit. I contacted them and shared my story and they were eager to send me a kit of my own to try out. 


The ConceiveEasy® TTC Kit is an all-in-one system that’s designed to help make the process of trying to conceive a little easier. The TTC Kit contains your choice of (1) 20 Pregnancy or Ovulation tests, (2) a Basal Body Thermometer (BBT) to help you track when you ovulate, (3) a handy BBT chart and Getting Started Guide, and (4) ConceiveEasy 2-Month Starter Pack, an all-natural blend of ingredients to help boost your fertility - all in one easy to use Kit.

The fertility aid in this kit is called Fertibella it is an all natural supplement that contains ingredients to help aid in fertility. You can read all about those ingredients here. I have been taking Fertibella for a little over 2 months now. I have not had any negative side effects and while I have yet to produce a positive pregnancy test I have used the ovulation tests I received as my free gift and know that I am ovulating regularly. I have read many positive reviews and stories about women who found themselves pregnant after using Fertibella which gives me some hope. I will let you know what happens...
Currently they are offering a FREE trial. You can try the TTC kit for free for 30 days with no obligation to buy.

If for any reason you are not absolutely delighted with your TTC Starter Kit, simply return it anytime during your 30-day trial, even if the bottles are empty, and you will never be billed. And the FREE GIFTS are yours to keep no matter what!
If you love your TTC Starter Kit, do nothing. You will be billed at the low price of just $39.95 per month for your ConceiveEasy 2-Month TTC Starter Kit. That's a 20% savings! You'll automatically receive a new supply every 60 days at the same low price so you'll never run out.

 And of course as soon as you find yourself pregnant or just wish to stop you can cancel anytime.

I shared my story with you because I know that there are many who suffer from infertility and miscarriages in silence. It's a hard thing to go through. If you would like to share your story I would love to hear about it. You can leave a comment on this post or if you prefer send me a personal message via my email, monicalavoie@gmail.com
