imPRESS Press On Manicure Review

I always have my nails painted. On rare occasions I get them manicured professionally, but I typically do them myself. I have not used press-on nails in the past. Scratch that…I have not used them since the horror of the '90s press-on nail. I was traumatized enough to never do that to myself again. In 2015 fake nails have made drastic improvements. They are easier to apply and not as clunky. Clunky is the only word I can think of to describe those tragic looking pieces of plastic.

I was given two colors to test and review. My favorite was the neutral matted color with the sparkly accent nail. I really like the way these look. From far away. My problem with these press on nails is that I have the wrong size nail-bed. When you look closely you can see that they do not really fit, even with the many sizes included in the kit. That being said, I am sad that they don't fit my hand because I really like them and recommend them to others.

The application process is easy with simple back peels. (There is none of that terrible glue from my childhood fake nail days…you know what I'm talking about!) It is so easy to do your nails and go on with your day because you do not have to worry about smudges. They are also safe to use on your natural nails and easy to remove. I also love the endless colors and designs which you can check out here. They truly have something for everyone for every occasion. You can have a lot of fun with these.

Valentia ~ Royal Rose Hydrating Serum



Ahhh the Royal Rose. It sounds so beautiful and fragrant. This Royal Rose Hydrating Serum is indeed fragrant and I am loving my experience with this product. My skin feels so hydrated after I put apply it to my face and neck. This is super important because it is so dry in my house when I have the heat on. The health benefits of this serum are the following:

~ deeply moisturizes skin
~ provides antioxidant protection
~ soothes & nourishes dry skin
~ smoothes skin tone & texture
~ boosts skin radiance

The serum is made with Rose Damascena, which is one of the most nourishing and skin-friendly natural oils. It provides balance, moisture, and vitamins and minerals to the skin. It feels so calming and moisturizing. I apply the serum at night after cleansing. Then I follow with my eye gel and another moisturizer to lock in the nutrients. I think you will love this serum. You can purchase it on Amazon at Valentia.

Premium Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil

My Coco and I have tried TerraMax products before and I have been able to successfully give her some extra supplements and nutrition. Premium Alaskan Salmon Oil is an all-natural Omega-3 Food Supplement with more than 15 Omega-3's, DHA Fatty Acids, and Vitamin D. It is molecularly distilled to remove heavy metals, PCBs, pesticides, and harmful toxins. Salmon Oil is the highest quality fish oil you can buy and the benefits for your furry friend are many.


I put two squirts of Salmon Oil in Coco's food bowl every morning. She seems to love the taste and eats her food with gusto since adding the supplement. The oil is said to reduce inflammation due to allergies and to reduce dry, itchy skin. Coco has frequent allergy flareups in the spring and also falls victim to dry skin in the winter. I feel confident that this product is helping to ease some of her distress. I love giving her products knowing that they do not have any fillers or preservatives. This is a simple way to protect your dog…or your cat. 

You can purchase Wild Alaska Salmon Oil here.

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.
