UpNature Eucalyptus Essential Oil 4 Oz #UpNatureEucalyptus

 I love getting to try the essential oils.  I am a BIG essential oil fan.  I used to just stick to 1 brand, but have recently started branching out to try some other brands and I am really liking them.

I was sent a bottle for free to try and give my unbiased and honest opinion on.

I really like this oil.  I have been using it for about a week now.  It is steam distilled from carefully selected dried leaves of eucalyptus.

 Ingredients - 100% pure eucalyptus oil

This has a nice strong scent to it that really opens up the airwaves.

It comes in an amber colored glass bottle with a glass eye dropper (which I like when the companies include an eye dropper)

There are no additives and it is therapeutic grade

Anyone who is not familiar with the many uses of Eucalyptus -- here are just a few



  •  Refreshes the mind, invigorates the body and purifies the spirit.
  •  Helps in repairing damaged skin & provides a soothing sleep.
  •  Prevent colds - Applying eucalyptus oil to a cold sore may help reduce the pain and speed up the healing process.
  •  Treat respiratory problems & breathe much easier - Conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, COPD, pneumonia, sinusitis and even tuberculosis can be relived simply by inhaling steam with added Eucalyptus Oil.  (I have personally used Eucalyptus to help when I had whooping cough and nothing else was working to get rid of it)
  •  Dental health - Eucalyptus Oil exhibits antibacterial properties against tooth decay causing bacteria.
  •  Pain relief - Eucalyptus Oil may be beneficial for pain relief and/or useful to athletes as a passive form of warm-up. 
  •  Hair Nourishment - Just a tiny few drops of Eucalyptus Oil will give your hair a nice moisturizing pick-me-up. 
  • Spot Remover - Eucalyptus oil is highly effective at removing spots on your carpet, clothes and basically every fabric you have in the house. It even works to get gum off your shoes! 
If you have never tried essential oils I definitely recommend you try them!!!  I give this company a thumbs up on their oil also!!

50X Strength Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Skin #Hyaluronic50X


Another great product from First Botany

I was sent this Hyaluronic Acid to try for my honest and unbiased opinion and review.  I received no compensation and all opinions are my own.



I have mentioned this many times, but will mention it again here.  I have very dry ultra sensitive skin.  I used this on freshly cleansed skin.  I had no negative reactions from it and it moisturized my skin very well.  I didn't even need a moisturizer with it!!  I liked everything about it exept the smell.  The smell reminded me of a vegetable?????  I know sounds crazy, but that is what it smelled like to me.


Ingredients - Glycerin, Water, Sodium Hyaluronate, Crosspolymer Propanediol, Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Extract, Polyglutamic Acid


It comes in a pump and it doesn't take much at all for the face.  Sometimes 1 pump is enough I think the most I ever used was 2 pumps when my face was really dry.

Here is a little info from the company

Ultra Moisture Magnet Serum 50X Hyaluronic Acid Serum has 50 times the water binding capacity of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMWHA). It is a very powerful free radical scavenger than regular hyaluronic acid products. It provides 5 times more moisturization than regular hyaluronic acid after 24 hour.

Our 50X Serum can hold 4000 to 5000 times its own weight in water resulting in the expansion of the individual molecules. While the regular Hyaluronic acid serum available in market is capable of only 1,000 times its own weight in water. This inflation at molecular level of our 50X serum gives a healthy, hydrated, plump, smooth and glowing appearance.

I do recommend this -- while I did not care for the smell it is not a large enough con from the moisturizing benefits that I received.

Ozeri Tower Fan - Totally Cool!!! #Ozerifan #ozeritowerfan #ozeri #totally cool

 Check out this totally awesome and cool (yes pun intended) fan that I received to try out for my unbiased review and opinion.

We have had a lot of fans and this has got to be the nicest one we have ever owned.  It was way better than I expected it to be as far as options.  Lauren immediately stole it and claimed it as hers the minute it came out of the box and was assembled which was a quick less than 5 minute job that I didn't even need the directions to figure out how - ha ha!!



Not only does this fan have lots of features it looks really classy as well and does not take up a lot of space!  It measures approx 44" high.  It has a really nice heavy base (approx 11.25") and we have had no issues with it toppling over even with 3 dogs running around the house!!

There are so many awesome options on here.  Rox's favorite is the Nature mode which sounds like wind through the palm trees which I don't actually care for, but she said it is totally relaxing to her.  It sounds like a wind picks up blows through the trees and then dies down.  When I hear it I keep thinking the fan has died!!!!  It is actually cycling through all of its speeds for 5 seconds each and then it starts over again.

There is a timer on the fan that will turn it off and you can determine how long you want it on for in 30 minute increments.

There is a sleep mode.  If set at high it will work at high speed nature mode for 30 minutes, then change to medium for 30 minutes and then change to low for 30 minutes.

There is a swing mode which is basically oscillation mode where it moves from side to side in a 90 degree motion.

You also have the ability to use all 3 of the fans or adjust to 1 or two or whatever you want.



Another neat little feature is the remote control that comes with it that allows you to change a setting without getting up and walking across the floor -- I know totally lazy right?!?!?!

This is definitely all thumbs up here in this house!  I want to thank Ozeri for the opportunity to try out this deluxe little cadillac of a fan.  Classy looking, but gets the job done as well.

I was sent this fan for free in exchange for my unbiased opinion and review - which I have given, but will reiterate that I LOVE IT!!!

Pure Garcinia/Cleanse ADVANCED Fast Weight Loss Kit #dietkit

I received this kit for free to try in exchange for my unbiased review.  I will state right at the beginning there were a couple of days that I totally forgot to take these - so in all fairness I am going to continue to take them and will update my post should anything change.

I personally did not notice any changes.  I don't tend to "get hungry" that much anyways, so nothing changed there.  I have taken a cleanse product recently that worked a lot better than these so comparing to what I had been using these did not work as well for me (unless maybe I was already cleansed!!).

When you get the kit you will receive both bottles shown above.



The one is Garcinia Cambogia Advanced with HCA - 60 capsules

according to the bottle it contains

Potassium.........50mg
Calcium.............50mg
Chromium.........200 mcg

Garcinia Cambogia (fruit rind)...1000mg

Fruit rind formul
Garcinia Cambogia Extract (4:1)
Garcinia Cambogia (with 60% HCA)

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take two (2) capsules daily - so this is a month's supply if you use according to the bottle



The second bottle is Slender Cleanse Advanced -- it also contains 60 tablets 

According to the bottle it contains

Green Coffee Bean Extract........400 mg
Proprietary Formula.................400mg

Oat Bran, Flax Seed powder, Fennel Seed, Cascara Sagrada, Sienna, Ginger, Licorice, Cayenne Pepper, Goldenseal, Pumpkin Seed, Buckthorne Root, Rhubarb, Citrus Pectin, Acidophilus, Cape Aloe, Bentonite Clay, Aloe Vera, Prune Juice

You take 1 capsule daily 30 minutes prior to eating with 8 oz of water.

I showed no weight loss and was either already cleansed well from a previous product I used or this did not work as well.  As stated above I am giving it a rest and will try again in about a month.  If there are any changes I will update my review.



Divas Never Age® Hyaluronic Acid Serum + Vitamin C #DivasNeverAge

I received this little bottle of Divas Never Age Hyaluronic Acid Serum (DNA) to try so that I could give my unbiased opinion and review on it.

Ok, I have always been one to chuckle when I watched reviews and people were like -- Oh I just love the packaging - LOL!!!  Well that is what I did when this cute little bottle came in.  It looks expensive.  It is just cute -- never thought I would say that!!

I applied this after freshly washing my face and for the most part never had to use moisturizer afterwards which is saying a lot for my skin which is very dry!!

I can't say that I have noticed any less wrinkles, but I am sure it is doing my skin good because the ingredients are pretty good as well.  My skin feels very moisturized and slightly tighter after using this.   I have had no negative side effects from it.

I used 2-3 drops on my face and neck and it seemed to pretty much do the job
 I love putting good stuff on my skin so I would definitely give this a thumbs up.  This is on the pricier side at $37.95 for an oz of product.  If they could drop the price some by putting it in different packaging it would be worth it :)

#3 Precision Eyelash Curler - Plus 2 Refill Pads #curler


I received this eyelash curler to try in exchange for my unbiased and honest opinion.

This is easy to handle.  The refills are a hard silicone type plastic.  Using it just as is did not seem to curl the lashes quite as good as my normal eyelash curler.  I had to do it several times before the curl seemed to take hold.

I also tried it by holding the blow dryer on the curler to heat it up.  Be careful doing this -- I think I did it a little too long and got it a little too hot initially.  Once it cooled a bit though that worked pretty good.  However, I would not do that everytime just because it gets hot pretty quickly and I don't want to take a chance on burning my eye lids.

This comes with 2 of the silicone replacement refills.  The actual design is nice and easy to hang on to.  I just wish it curled a little quicker than it does.

It does defintely make the lashes stand out more -- add a couple of coats of mascara and you would be good to go.

My overall opinion is it is ok, but I think I prefer my old one.

I want to thank Jc tech enterprise llc for the oppotunity to try out their product.  I received no compensation for this review.  All opinions are my own!!

Instant Wrinkle Filling Serum By Anaiti #AdvancedSkinCare



I have tried a couple other of Anaiti products and had really good results with them.

This was fine as a moisturizing product, however, I experienced no plumping, filling or botox like effects - LOL!!



I am 46.  I have spent a LOT of time in the sun and I have wrinkles -- probably a little more for my age than most -- I didn't notice any lessening -- even temporarily with this product.  I have only been using this for about 2 weeks and I have quite a bit left in the bottle - so perhaps I have not given it long enough.

It is very moisturizing, but that is about all I can give it credit for at this point.  It does take a couple minutes to dry.

Here is some info from the company



Ingredients
Anaiti uses revolutionary skincare technology and decades of research to blend its potently innovative products. A powerful and comprehensive age-fighting formula, Instant Wrinkle Filling Serum is made with high-quality ingredients proven to smooth wrinkles, improve elasticity and restore moisture levels. Propelled by Skinceuticals Hyacare® Filler CL, this serum smooth wrinkles and fine lines in about 15 minutes. Hyacare®, a cross-linked hyaluronic acid, immediately fills wrinkles and plumps skin by binding to and absorbing moisture. Its near-instant effect is enhanced by its long-term hydration properties, promoting overall skin firming. Hyacare® is strengthened by two other state-of-the-art ingredients: Matrixyl and Renovage. A peptide, Matrixyl restores skin, promotes collagen growth and improves skin elasticity. Impressive Renovage works at a deep cellular level to strengthen skin tissue quality, smooth skin pigment, eliminate redness and create more youthful-looking skin. Together, these three ingredients blend to create a strongly effective alternative to Botox and wrinkle-filler injections.

I was sent a bottle for free as a sample so that I could try it and give an unbiased review.  I received no compensation.  At this point I can only give it credit for moisturizing and I have used better moisturizers as well at better price points.  I had no negative effects from it except maybe a little disappointment that it did not work for me -- LOL!!

Reading some of the other reviews on Amazon it seems to have been successful for some -- just not for me.  I am going to continue to use until my bottle is gone.  If there are any changes I will update my review.
