OZ Naturals Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser

I have tried several OZ Naturals products and have really enjoyed working with the company. Today I am reviewing their Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser. The cleanser is natural and organic and made with some powerful ingredients, including rose hip oil, more than 92 rich ocean minerals, and vitamin e. It is great for sensitive skin and feels really great on the skin. It feels light and soft but works really well in dissolving the nasty stuff that clogs your pores. The ocean minerals nourish and repair dry skin, blemishes, skin lesions, and rough damaged skin, while the botanicals soothe and stimulate regeneration of cells. The cleanser feels great but a little goes a long way. This bottle will last quite awhile. I love the company and this product. 

You can purchase Ocean Mineral Cleanser at Amazon.

DALLAS-10 Lace Up Zipper Boot Review

I love my boots!

This hiking-inspired boot is comfortable and affordable. Would it be good for hiking? I don't know! Why is it called "hiking-inspired"? It does look like a hiking boot. But it looks like a hiking boot that you could wear every day. I haven't climbed any mountains in them, but they are comfortable so far. And for someone that has long days, this is important. They are lace-up boots but they have a zipper on the side, easy to get on and off. The worst part about ordering these boots? Picking out a color. I decided on the blue and black because I love that color combination. It's a little different but, to me, it is the best color combination. I just might have to purchase the other colors eventually. They also come in all black and camel. I love them all. My one criticism is that next time I will order half a size down. They feel a little big, even with thick socks on. But overall I absolutely love these boots!

You can purchase them here at a great price.

The Supplemental People Acai Berry Colon Cleanse & Detox

Doing a detox is all the rage right now. I hear about juicing, fasting and drinking lemon, pepper, cinnamon water. There are all kinds of different ways to cleanse. I personally have never tried a cleanse. My interest has been peeked for some time and while I have thought about taking that plunge, it makes me hungry just thinking about it! I could not survive on a liquid diet and juicing sounds like a lot of work. Talk about hangry…I would not want to be around me if I had not eaten in one day, let alone 7 days. Nope! Not happening. That is why I was excited to try The Supplemental People's Acai Berry Colon Cleanse & Detox.

This I can do. I get to eat my regular foods, though of course you should try to eat healthy while doing a cleanse (chips are my weakness). This supplement is safe and effective, made with an Acai Berry base. It works to rid your colon of dangerous toxins and build-up (probably from all those chips). While eliminating the bad stuff, it also delivers healthy nutrients to the body. I love that the supplement is natural, gentle, and made in the USA. This is a supplement I can feel good about taking.

You can purchase it on Amazon.

Valentia ~ Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask

A new year. A new Valentia product to review. Now that the holidays are officially over, it is time to give my skin a boost of hydration. Valentia has given me the opportunity to test another great new product. The Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask provides intense hydration that is perfect for this time of year. The holidays and the weather have wreaked havoc on my skin and I was lucky to get this product when I did.

The first thing that I have noticed about Valentia products is the scent. Every product that I have tried from this company has smelled delicious…good enough to eat. I could just sit and smell it all day. This particular mask smells fresh and fruity. The texture is gelatinous. It is super easy to apply a thin layer. Too thick and the mask will fall off your face. Immediately after applying the mask I started to feel a mild tingling sensation. This is normal but continued to intensify. I keep the mask on 20-30 minutes before removing with a warm, wet washcloth. My face felt clean and moisturized. It really does feel luxurious during and after using the mask. The ingredients in the mask are specially selected for optimal results. 

What are some of these special ingredients?

~Silk Protein Amino Acid Blend: increases moisture content and helps produce collagen and elastin, decreasing the appearance of lines

~Botanical Hyaluronic Acid: secures moisture and plumps skin

~Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil: anti aging berry that reduces lines, diminishes sun spots, evens skin tone, and firms more supple skin

~Japanese Green Tea: anti aging, anti inflammatory, and anti irritant

~Aloe Vera: moisturizing skin and prevents aging

This mask really does feel like an indulgence. It feels like you are at a fancy spa getting an expensive facial. You can purchase Valentia's new Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask on Amazon.

Chomps Snack Sticks!

I get very excited when I get to test and review food products. It does not happen often but I LOVE it. I am a serious foody and while I love big, hearty meals I also love to snack throughout the day. Chomps Snack Sticks look like a Slim-Jim but are made with 100% Grass-Fed Angus Beef. This is important to me. I won't include an attachment but if you want to know more about grass-fed beef you should Google it (be prepared for some disturbing information about the other beef…the beef that is not grass-fed). They are also free from nitrates, synthetic nitrates, MSG, and are gluten-free.

Chomps Snack Sticks come in three delicious flavors: Original, Crankin' Cran, and Hoppin' Jalepeño. Of all three flavors I liked Crankin' Cran the best. It had the most spice, and I love spice. It doesn't taste like cranberries as I expected, though it does have cranberries in it. It also has Habañero Peppers in it, which is where the spicy spice comes from. These snack sticks are great to eat alone, straight from the pack, or as part of an appetizer plate. I was happy to have them on hand to put together a little cheese and sausage plate. Everyone agreed that Crankin' Cran was the favorite flavor. The ingredients help me feel good about eating them, but they also contain 9g of protein in each stick.

If you like beef sticks you will absolutely love these. They are definitely better than your average stick of beef. These sticks are made with celery juice that gives them a shelf-life of one year. I guarantee that is longer than you need. These will become your go-to meat snack. Purchase them here.

Happy Chomping!

New Valentia True Glow Eye Cream

I have tried Valentia products before and was thrilled to be given the opportunity to try their True Glow Eye Cream. There are many reasons why I love this company, here are a few:

~products are cruelty-free
~made in the USA
~beauty lab is owned & operated by women
~primarily uses natural & organic ingredients

Valentia True Glow Eye Cream is full of antioxidants that help lock in moisture and repair and tighten skin around the eye. Here are some of the key ingredients:

~ Astaxanthin increases moisture levels, smoothes fine lines & wrinkles, & restores elasticity

~Resistem Natural Plant Stem Cells that protect skin from environmental pollutants and stress-related aging

~Vitamin C leaves skin smooth and bright

~Organic Rosehip Oil provides intense hydration to reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles

~Arnica anti-inflammatory agent that diminishes dark circles

I dab this eye cream under and around my eye every morning and night. It can easily go on under makeup and even acts as a sort of primer. The scent is delicious, though difficult to describe. The closest thing I can compare it to is a tangerine. The skin around my eyes feels moisturized and tight after having used this eye cream for several weeks. I don't have any proof that it is working but it feels good. And we all know that the skin around the eye ages fast, it is important to provide this delicate skin with extra moisture and antioxidants.

Purchase Valentia True Glow Eye Cream on Amazon.

Wine Aerator by Vino Aria

Do you want to be a fancy wine drinker? I hear people describing their wine as "chewy" and "flabby", and while I nod along, I have no idea what they are talking about. How can a wine be chewy?? Another way to be a fancy wine drinker is to use an aerator. An aerator allows your wine to breathe and lets oxygen flow to enhance the taste and smell of the wine. Don't you want to make your chewy wine even chewier? I don't know if you do or not, but you do want to use an aerator. 

The aerator by Vino Aria is super simple to use. I have seen others that require two hands and some sort of balance act. This aerator fits right on the wine bottle for an easy pour. It comes in a nice black box, which is great for storage to keep the aerator in good condition. 

I recommend a taste test for everyone to really notice the difference. Pour one glass without the aerator and one glass with the aerator. Then do everything you see in the movies. Smell the one, swish the wine, be one with wine. You will notice a very different scent and taste when the wine has been oxygenated with the Vino Aria wine aerator. You can purchase you own on Amazon by clicking here.
