Cove Castile Soap Lavender



                                        
It is funny how we get into a routine and everything we do ends up being such a habit. I remember as a kid that as soon as I hit puberty and had smelly underarms, I was instructed to wear deodorant. It was not until recently that I encountered aluminum free deodorant. I was thrown for a big loop... I have been putting a stick version of a metal alloy on my underarms all these years?

I am a huge fan of Bath and Body Works body wash. Even that product has bad ingredients. Two of these bad ingredients are Benzoyl Alcohol and Methylparapen. Benzyol Alcohol can cause problems with the liver while Methylparaben can cause cancer and mess with the hormones of both men and women. I cant believe that 99.9% of my shower routine is THAT bad for my overall health!

I recently was able to review Cove Castile Soap. Lately, I have been so overwhelmed with final exams and final projects for college, I honestly thought it was just a plain old body wash. When I was given the opportunity to review this product, I thought cool! I get to review a Vegan, Organic body wash. BOY I was wrong! I found out that this soap is concentrated  and has to be the jack of all trades when it comes to washes!

First, let me explain the product itself.  This soap is a "pure and vegan" product. There are two "scents" in this soap. Lavender and Unscented. I chose the lavender. I love to take night time showers because it relaxes me and I figured the lavender would further the effect of my relaxing shower! This soap has certified organic oils Argan, Jojoba, and Hemp in it.

Here is the cool part. Notice I keep calling it soap? I am not only doing this because it is what it says on the container, but because of how many uses it has! On the soap bottle there is a list of uses and how to dilute it, since its concentrated. From body wash to a multi purpose cleaner there are so many uses for this product!

                                       
The recipes are easy to follow and does not call for many ingredients. For example, the body wash/ hand soap recipe calls for half a cup of water and half a cup of this product. Not only is that awesome, but it smells SO good!
I cannot wait to try as many uses of this product I can. I think I will try the hand soap and hand washing dish soap next!

Ozeri Wine Shield


Good Lord... I hate hate hate being sick. It took FOREVER to feel like myself again and even then I still dont 100% have my energy back.

I feel good enough to write a review on a product that required me to buy wine! LOL I told my husband to pick me up some and he hesitantly asked why. I told him it was for a product review and he reluctantly obliged. 


I am not a huge wine drinker though and I am very picky about what I drink. I do not like to put anything to waste either. If I have a bottle of wine I just don't like I will have a glass here and there and if we have someone over for dinner, I will offer a glass of wine.

BUT wine does not stay fresh very long. I actually stopped trying different wines because of this. I would get it and drink a couple glasses and it would go ... stale... does wine go stale? hmm

I got this amazing product from Ozeri called a wine shield. It is this flat looking clear piece of material that you put in the wine bottle and this slows the process of oxidation (reason wine goes "stale") leaving the wine fresh for longer.

 The product comes with 10 wine shields (that's and excuse to buy 10 bottles of wine haha!) and this applicator thing. All you have to do is pour your first glass of wine or more! Then follow the directions and slid the applicator onto the shield and then shove the applicator down the wine bottle. You should end up with an empty applicator and a floating shield in your wine bottle! Super easy!


So far I am not a fan of the wine my husband got... it was my fault though I told him to surprise me and the name looked yummy. Maybe my taste buds were still out of wack from being sick who knows! All I know is this shield definitely has kept my wine fresh for much longer than usual!


Check out this great product here.

MISSALOE Women's Seamless Racerback Sports Bra with Removable Cups (high impact yoga bra)


I am normally not a sports bra fan. I can pull it off, just wearing it by itself. BUT, I feel like it gives me a "uni-boob" look when I wear a shirt over it. They are usually made out of a thicker material that also makes it sweaty and uncomfortable after a while... At least the ones I have purchased so far.

Recently, I was given the opportunity to try out MISSALOE's racerback yoga bra. I chose my color and waited for it in the mail. Gotta love two day Amazon shipping!


As soon as I got the bra in the mail, I immediately put it on. I honestly wish I could have gotten more pictures of it on, but my husband has decided to go on strike as my photographer. *sad face*

This has to be the softest sport/yoga bra I have ever encountered. I love love love the color of this bra. It is a pink at the bottom and fades into a gray at the top. The stitching is also pink. The fabric is thin enough to not make me sweat but enough to support my boobies. I wear a 36C, and I am definitely not on the small side of a C cup.

I wore this bra at home and continued to wear it while at work. I further wore this bra even after I got home from work. I even fell asleep with it on it was so comfortable! I want to buy one of every color, I love this bra THAT much.

Buy this amazing bra here.

Salad Spinner


 I love salads, not even because it is "healthy" or that I am on a diet. I just love love love salads!  
I love the dressing and all the toppings you can put on it. Different types of cheese, chicken, craisins, all different types of nuts, and more!

I usually just grab a bag of mixed greens at the store, but unless its a buy one get one deal they cam be quite pricey. I tried to get a head of lettuce but it was really hard to break it a part then wash it without it ending up dripping wet. I do not want to have to dry each piece of lettuce with a towel.
 

I would just end up waiting on the buy one get one deal and buy the packaged stuff. So I was really happy to be able to review Ozeri's Salad Spinner!

  
The salad spinner comes in three pieces. The lid, the spinner, and the bowl. The spinner part nestles in the bowl and of course the lid goes on top.
 



When you push the lever on top it makes the spinner... spin!

 This way I can clean my lettuce in a fast and efficient way! So far I have not actually used lettuce in the spinner. BUT, I have played around with it and it is super easy to use. All you have to do is unlock the lever and it pops up. Once you push the lever, it spins the lettuce. This leaves the lettuce clean and dry. This way your dressing will stick to the lettuce!

It looks like all of the salad spinners I see at my local stores. Even though I have access to other salad spinners, I absolutely love Ozeri's products. I am extremely happy with this product!
