Savannah Bee Review and Giveaway

Closed

Winner #3, 55

 

 

Savannah Bee offers pure honey and honey based beauty products. I was given the opportunity to review their All Natural Beeswax Lip Gloss as well as one of their newest products Honey Body Wash. First let's talk about the lip gloss because as you all know I love my lip gloss.

These lip glosses come in three different varieties; Mint Blossom, Wild Blackberry, Tupelo Honey. First of all they smell wonderful! Aside from that they leave your lips super soft, they are super glossy, and each one leaves a different subtle color from a glossy pink, shiny red, and a shimmery brown. Savannah Bee Beeswax Lip Gloss contains no parabens, no petroleum derived ingredients, and is never tested on animals. I was given all three and absolutely love them. My favorite is the Wild Blackberry! You can purchase all three in a combo set for $21.

Now for the Honey Body Wash!

These come in Wild Blackberry, Tupelo Honey, and Lemongrass Spearmint. All three of these amazing body washes contain royal jelly, propolis, and honey to soften, nourish, and repair your skin. Just like the lip glosses above these also smell wonderful. They lather up really nice and feel great on your skin. I received the travel sizes for my review. These are perfect to toss in your toiletry bag. They also come in an 8oz. version and sell for $9.99 each.

I was very impressed with these products and even more impressed with the story behind Savannah Bee, check it out here. While you are there be sure to look at all the other honey based products that are available as well as the different varieties of honey.

Dove At-Home PitiCure and New Dove Advanced Care Deodorant Launch Party

Let's admit it other then shaving your underarms you probably do not think of your armpits much when it comes to your beauty regime. Dove would like to change that! To celebrate the launch of their New Dove Advanced Care Deodorant they are inviting women everywhere to give their armpits the care they deserve. With an easy 3 step PitiCure treatment you can have softer, smoother, and good looking armpits. Bet you have never heard that before!

At-Home PitiCure

 

Step 1: Exfoliate

Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or wipes to cleanse underarms and draw our impurities.

• Impurities in the underarm area can cause unwanted irritation (folliculitis/ingrown hair) and exfoliation and cleansing can help to relieve this.

Step 2: Rinse

Rinse the area with warm water and pat dry with a soft towel.

 

Step 3: Care

Apply Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant with NutriumMoisture

• Formulated with NutriumMoisture to care for underarm skin.
• Provides softer, smoother underarm skin in just 3 days.
• Offers 48-hour odor and wetness protection.

I was sent the new Dove deodorant for review and I am anxious to give it a go. I will let you know my thoughts sometime next week.

 

I have more news! For those of you that live in our around the Los Angeles area you are invited to the launch party where you will be pampered with a PitiCure beauty treatment just in time for Valentines Day, and that little black dress. Additionally women will also have the opportunity to showcase their confidence post-PitiCure with an armpit revealing pose in Valentine’s Day attire at a Dove photo booth.

 

The event will take place at The Grove in Los Angeles on February 13, 2014 from 10am to 8pm. You can RSVP for this event here.

 

Let me know if you make it out unfortunately I have plans for that day but I would love to hear how it goes.

The MedCenter System Review

Originally when I first learned about the MedCenter System I thought it would be the perfect tool for my stepdad to help manage his medication. He takes several pills for several different health ailments. Each pill has it's own dosage requirements, he has to remember which pills to take at what times and what days. It can all get a little confusing and hard to remember especially during busy days. I don't know how many times I have been over my parents house and my dad not remembering whether or not he had taken his pill. Upon reading about the MedCenter System I was sure this would alleviate this problem and the stress that comes with it. Little did I know that in fact I would be the one using the MedCenter System.  In the last few months I have been going through some health issues that have caused me to be on bed rest. Doctors found I had developed several blood clots due to some health procedures I had done. Then in November I had major surgery and shortly after developed another blood clot with this one being the most serious. I was immediately put on blood thinners. For those of you who may not know, when you are being treated with blood thinners it is very important that your blood is monitored by a doctor on a regular basis. You don't what your blood to get too thin and you don't want it to be too thick either. I was giving blood thinners in several different dosage amounts and take them according to doctors orders. Since I have to go in and have my blood checked on a regular basis my doctor will sometimes change my dosage amounts or days at a moments notice. It is critical that my medication be taken in the right amounts at the right time and not missed. With all the stress I have been feeling due to my unexpected health problems it has been very easy to forget whether or not I have taken my pill or whether I took the right amount. But, with the MedCenter System to remind me I am able to keep on top of my health.
 
The Med Center system. This system emphasizes the "Date" rather than the "Day of the Week." The "Date" is located on each Pill Box and Pill Cavity, the visual display of the Clock as well as audibly during the alert messages. This repetition of the "Date" helps ensure proper medication compliance, even when the user is unsure whether it is Monday or Tuesday.

It may seem a little overwhelming at first but the MedCenter System is actually very easy to set up. You place your pills for the month into numbered removable pill boxes and program it to remind you when and what time to take your pills. It does all the work of reminding you. It has a very visible display that features the time, date, and day of the week and you can set up to four different daily alarms. My favorite feature of the system is the talking alarm. It literally tells you that it is now time to take you pill. The alarm will continue until you acknowledge that you have heard it. You remove the pill box take your pill and then turn the pill box over into the stand to show that the medication for that day has been taken. Genius! I am a pretty organized person in general, some may say a little OCD, and so I love the MedCenter System. I am feeling a little guilty now about taking what I intended to give to my stepdad so I may have to purchase one just for him. The MedCenter system also comes in a Traveler Weekly Pill Organizer making it great for storing and remembering to take your medication when you are out enjoying yourself.

If you or a loved one is currently battling some health issues and have been prescribed medications than I would recommend the MedCenter System. You can purchase it online.

Bed Buddy Review

Over the last three months I have been going through some health issues that have caused me some pain, swelling, and a lot of bed rest. Throughout this time Bed Buddy's products have been my best friends. Their At Home line which includes hot and cold therapy products with aromatherapy that are designed to soothe tired muscles, ease pain, and relieve stress are amazing. The lineup includes a Comfort Wrap, Foot Warmers and Relaxation Mask. Each are filled with 100% natural grains and provide heat therapy when warmed up in the microwave or become a cooling compress when chilled. They come in several colors and patterns and in several fragrances.

 

 

I received all three products for review and all three are still getting plenty of use. I prefer heat over cold so that is how I have been using my Bed Buddy's.  These get very hot when microwaved for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes so be sure to test the heat and get it to your liking. I found that 1 minute and 45 seconds was what I needed to get the right amount of heat therapy.

The Comfort Wrap is perfect for wrapping around your neck or shoulders when your muscles are feeling tense or soar. It is also great for laying on your stomach when you have a tummy ache. I even use it when I am feeling chilly! I wrap it around like a scarf and I immediately warm up.

The Foot Warmers are perfect for tired feet but I have mostly been using them to keep my cold feet warm and snugly in bed. The other day I was feeling pretty bad and in need of some rest. I put a Comfort Wrap around my shoulders and slipped on some Foot Warmers and I had the most peaceful and comfortable nap in a long time. I literally slept for 4 hours in the middle of the day! My husband had to come in and check on me because I was sleeping for so long.

The Relaxation Mask works wonders for a headache. Put it around your head and feel your headache disappear. I have not tried it as a sleep mask yet but I can imagine how relaxing it will be.

I and my family are so grateful that we got the opportunity to try these wonderful products by Carex Health Brands. Every one of us has been using these for different ailments at different times. I think everyone should own a Comfort Wrap, Foot Warmer and Relaxation Mask.

You can purchase these online, and at Rite Aid and several other retail stores nationwide.
