Arbonne Product Review

Arbonne creates personal care and wellness products that contain natural botanical ingredients that are scientifically proven. Their products can be purchased online or through their network of independent consultants. Their inventory includes skin care items, bath & body products, hair care, makeup, fragrances, and nutritional supplements. Arbonne is constantly adding premium products to their inventory. Recently these additions included 11 new items and I was given the opportunity to review two of these.

It's a Long Story Mascara $36

• Exclusively designed with revolutionary polypeptides to promote the appearance of longer lashes.
• Bamboo and pea extracts and pro-vitamins B5, C and E pamper and nurture for a lavish, high-gloss look.
• Vegan formula
• Dermatologist, ophthalmologist and clinically tested.

What can I say about this mascara other then I love it! I love how smooth application is, the soft bristled brush coats every lash and does not clump up. It makes your lashes appear longer and thicker. I wear mascara just about everyday so I have tried many, this one is on the top of my favorites list as of yet.

Essentials Spray Vitamin D + B12 $40

• Delivers essential levels of Vitamins D and B12.
• Formulated to help counter vitamin D deficiencies that may come from simple actions such as an inadequate diet, wearing sunscreen regularly or not getting enough sunlight.
• Also formulated to help with vitamin B12 deficiencies that may come from maintaining a vegetarian diet.
• Just 3 sprays twice a day supports good health.

This is a product that would have really come in handy before we moved out of Alaska. Vitamin D is known as the "sunshine vitamin" being exposed to sunlight results in your body creating this essential vitamin that plays an important role in supporting immune health and healthy bones and teeth. Amazing! In case you didn't know Alaskans don't get their fair share of sunlight. Vegetarians and those with darker complexions are also prone to having lower levels of Vitamin D. What about Vitamin B12? Vitamin B12 supports a number of body functions like metabolism, nervous system, cell division, and red blood cell formation. Found in various types of meats and in some plants and vegetables but in lower amounts. Some vegetarians or those that do not eat a healthy well balanced diet can be prone to Vitamin B12 deficiency. This spray is formulated to give your the body the adequate amounts of both of these vitamins it needs on a daily basis. It is very easy to use, you just spray the vitamins in your mouth twice daily. No worries though, this does not have a weird mineral taste, it's actually a  bit sweet with the help of natural stevia leaf extract and a little Tropical Splash flavor. For all my Alaskan friends, this is worth giving a shot!

Thymes Review

Recently I was introduced to Thymes a company that crafts botanically blended aromas in the form of bath and body products and home fragrances. They have range of products that includes such items as lotions, soaps, and colognes as well as candles, household cleaners, and potpourris to name a few. These come in a variety of scents from the sweetness of Agave Nectar to the earthiness of Olive Leaf. I was sent a body wash from their Naia collection to review.

This shower gel is infused with yerba mate extract and glycerin to energize your senses and cleanse your skin. The scent is very fresh and clean with hints of citrus. It was not overpowering and I loved the lingering smell it left in the bathroom and on my skin. A small amount is all you need for a rich lather experience that leaves your skin clean and soft. After my experience with this wash I am eager to try some other products and scents from Thymes. The Ginger Milk collection sounds especially appealing- has delicately spiced citrus notes of uplifting ginger, piquant lime and tangy tamarind balance against a base of creamy vanilla, moist cucumber and airy ambrette seed. Also the Tamarind Lychee Reed Diffuser sounds right up my alley.

These products are beautifully packaged and presented and would make nice gifts. You can purchase them online or in a specialty store near you.

The Wet Brush Review

This my 5 year old Penelope with her long and flowing hair.

 

Unfortunately this long hair has been a pain to brush, literally. With all the crying and fussing and screaming that has went on as I try to get the tangles out of Penelope's hair I have been tempted several times to chop it all off, but then her dream of being Rapunzel would be over. So morning after morning we have gone through the ordeal of brushing her hair, heck, it's been so bad that even the dog runs off when he sees the dreaded brush. That was until recently when we received The Wet Brush Squirt. The Wet Brush is made especially for detangling even the rattiest hair easily and painlessly. With its IntelliFlex bristles that are thin strong and flexible and meant to eliminate all tugging, tearing, pulling and ripping. No split ends, no hair loss, and best of all no more tangles!

 

The cool thing about this brush is even though it gets the tangles out of dry hair super easy it is meant to be used on wet hair. Use it right out of the shower or after a day of swimming. The Squirt version of The Wet Brush was specifically made for children. it's rubber coated non slip handle is ergonomically designed for little hands. It is compact so it's great for travel or to keep in your purse and it is also available in a variety of colors.

You can't even imagine how excited Penelope and I were when we received this brush and tried it for the first time. "It doesn't even hurt mommy!" is what she proclaimed with a huge grin, and my ears and sanity were thanking the creator of The Wet Brush silently inside. If you can relate to this post then I would recommend getting one of these or you can take a look at several other hair brushes and pick the one that is right for you.

Tandem Phone Case Review

 Tandem

 

Today you can find Phone cases everywhere. You can get them in most colors, textures and even with rhinestones. The Tandem covers give you the chance to have a unique cover that also expresses a little about you. I ordered this cover for my husband because he loves being out in nature. I just told him not to drop it he might not find it. 

 

Protect your phone with this one-piece, impact resistant, flexible plastic hard case (or enhanced vibe case with rubber insole). All cases feature an extremely slim profile. Cases snap onto your phone with ease and allow access to all necessary phone ports.

 

My husband is loving his new iPhone case. The hard cover protects his case and the picture looks really good. He said he has got many comments asking where he got his case.

These cases would be a great gift to give anyone with an iPhone. Tandem has so many choices I know you will find the one for you or for a special someone.

Here are some of my favorites.

Lee Stafford Breaking Hair Treatment Review

 

Many of us like myself dye and use styling product on our hair. Using Shampoo and Conditioner for colored hair does help protect your hair but the Breaking Hair Treatment from Lee Stafford is a great treatment to get into your hair to build, repair and rehydrate you damaged hair.
 

Breaking Hair Treatment is built with Pro-Repair™. Which is complex of Soy, Amino Acids and replenishing lipids to strengthen and restore the integrity of the cuticle, whilst optimising the hair’s moisture balance to leave your locks fully-hydrated, looking salon-sleek from root to tip.

Top Tips for using Breaking Hair Treatment:

• Use this luxurious treatment in between my Breaking Hair Shampoo and Conditioner.
• After shampooing scoop out the equivalent of an egg into the palms of your hands
• Massage into your hair from roots to ends and leave for 5 minutes
• Rinse out and then condition as normal
• Keep using this life saving treatment with every wash until hair improves
• Then use once a week to maintain Beautiful, healthy, smooth hair

The benefits to using Breaking Hair Treatment are to strengthen and build hair's protective lipids, repairs it from within, reduce breakage and for all around smoother hair.

After using this product for a few months I can now say that my hair does feel much better. When you first start using it your hair immediately feels smooth and silky. I love the days that I us it because my hair has that just been to the hair salon feel.  I will continue to use this product.

You should also check out their other hair products to go with Breaking Hair Treatment.

I am also excited about their line of curling hair products Here Comes the Curl. My daughter and son both have curly hair and I think these products will help me out! If they work as well as the Breaking Hair Treatment I know I will love them.
