The Aquagenix Extra-Large Slimline Rainfall Shower Head really upgraded the look of our guest bathroom. The sleek, 5-inch wide shower head adds a luxury and spa-like feel to our bathroom.
The head itself is actually chromed plated ABS, however unless you are holding it you would never know it’s not made of metal. (ABS is what LEGO’s are made of—so you know it’s a high quality material!) The overhead bracket is also chrome plated and features adjustable angles for accommodating various heights. The 5’ long hose is very flexible and since it is stainless steel it is extremely durable. The five settings offer something for everyone’s preference in our house, two high pressure settings: ‘Power Rain’, ‘Pulsating Massage’, and three rainfall settings: ‘Hydro Mist’, ‘Rain/Mist’ and ‘Rain/Massage’. Installation was a breeze since no tools were required. I did use the included tape just to insure I wouldn’t have any leakage. If you want a true rainfall experience with this shower head I would recommend getting an extended shower arm for your wall.

This affordable three-piece tool (6-extractor option) set features every tool you need to achieve and maintain a clear complexion. These are the same high quality metal used in professional facials to quickly extract a large area, and are much less damaging to the skin than squeezing.
Before use: Apply a warm wash cloth to your face to open your pores (or extract right after a shower). I also wear gloves to avoid extra oil & dirt on my face. After use: Cleanse your skin after any extraction so that your pores don't become infected. I follow the cleansing with a sensitive skin toner and moisturizer. Also make sure to clean the extractor(s) with rubbing alcohol to ensure sterile tools for future use. Loop Extraction Use the small loop openings for pressing out blackheads and a medium loop openings for whitehead removal. Position the loop around the edge of the blemish at a 10-20° angle and gently press to extract the blemish. Move the loop across the blemish in a motion similar to how you spread butter on toast. Cup Extraction Place the open portion of the cup over the blemish and gently press down compressing the pore until the blackhead or whitehead comes out. Needle Extraction For blackheads, gently use the needle point to pull the gunk out from the pore. For whiteheads use the needle point to pierce the white head after it forms. Them use the loop or cup extractors to fully remove the whitehead contents. I did receive this product in exchange for my unbiased and honest review. All opinions are my own.
Recently my favorite red quilted oven mittens tore across the rubbery heat protected padding so I started to look for alternatives and was quite intrigued at the idea of silicon#Magikuchenbbqgloves.
After receiving the silicone gloves, I tested them on a glass casserole dish, a pizza stone, and dark cookie sheet all at 475-degrees and couldn't feel a thing. I love the versatility of these gloves. I've even used them when bringing upstairs a bunch of frozen food from our deep freeze and couldn't feel a thing! I also tried what another reviewer said, and used them to pull hard boiled eggs directly out of the water. The gloves worked perfectly for that! Great tip! The heat resistance of the gloves even makes them a great trivet to protect counters and tables. I also like how they can be easily washed. My prior cloth mitts would get dirty so often and need to go in the washer and dryer. Now I can easily rinse with soap and water and be ready to use again. They truly are one-sized fits all. They easily slid on and off my hands, in addition to my husbands large hands. Even my mother-I'm-laws tiny hands had no issues handling dishes while wearing the gloves. The material is thinner than I anticipated --which did make me a little nervous the first time I tried them on a hot pan, but the thickness (or lack thereof) doesn't affect the heat resistance. There are little raised hearts all over the gloves, which help them the grip dishes. I did receive these in exchange for an honest and unbiased review, all opinions are my own.
Midori Spring Organic Ceremonial Match is a delicious, smooth, and bold alternative to green tea and coffee. I have been trying to break my addiction to not just coffee—but more importantly to the sugary & fatty flavored coffee drinks I'm drawn to. Originally I switched to regular brewed green tea, but it never was strong enough for me. Then a friend recommended that I try matcha powdered tea. Midori Spring Matcha has a very strong green tea flavor, which I love. This strong flavor comes from whole processed green tea leaves that have been stone-ground into a delicate powder (vs. brewed green tea where the leaves are steeped in hot water). Matcha powder also slowly releases the energy giving me an all-day boost. I did receive this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. All opinions are my own.
Midori Spring Matcha blends easily into hot water and stays blended while I'm drinking it. I've tried other matchas and the powder continued to settle to the bottom of my mug while drinking it. The matcha also frothes nicely. I mainly drink the tea with just water, but I'm excited to try a Matcha latte and some other variations soon. If you’re not familiar with Matcha tea, it has the same benefits of Green Tea, but significantly amplied. Here are some of Matcha tea’s health benefits: - Contains polyphenol EGCG, a well-known formula to increase metabolism and helps you to burn fat faster - Great source of catechin polyphenols. It is a well-known antioxidant to protect human body from cancers, cardiovascular diseases and great for skin health to make us young and beautiful. - High in chlorophyll, which detoxifies your body and remove all toxins. - Contains high amount of amino acid L-theanine. It is a perfect tool to relax your mind and improve the focus. Eventually, it lifts up your energy level and promote better concentration.
With the amount of artificial ingredients and processed junk we put in our bodies everyday, I make it a point to perform regular detoxes/cleanses to remove toxins from my body several times a year. When I heard Dr. Oz recommend Coffee Bean Extract, it got added to my list of new detoxes to try. Then when I had the opportunity to try Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract Cleanse/Detox 60 from Justified Laboratories I was thrilled to accept the offer.
What exactly is green coffee? Green coffee extract has been found to significantly reduce fat absorption as well as fuel metabolic rates in the liver, both of which are very important in weight reduction. This is because green coffee contains a natural chemical that slows the release of sugars in the bloodstream, a process which also helps in weight loss. Green coffee also contains much more anti-oxidants than roasted coffee, which can also help in reducing the production of fat cells in the body. After recovering from a recent bout of the stomach flu (this living off canned soup, crackers, and gingerale for a week) I decided to detox all the rest gunk from my body--along with a clean, healthy diet. Twice a day I took one pill along with a full glass of water 30 minutes before a meal. I continued this for 7 days. I cut out my regular coffee intake during this week, so the caffeine in the detox was just the right amount for me. Throughout the week I noticed my blood sugar levels leveling out, blood pressure lowered, and my colon was definitely getting clean (TMI, sorry!), plus my skin started looking more radiant. I could easily tell cleanse successfully removed a lot of toxins from my body. Now that the detox is finished I feel great, all over! The capsules were easy to swallow and didn't have an unpleasant aftertaste. I will definitely do the detox again in a month or so based on the results I saw this last week. I did receive this product from #justifiedlabs in exchange for my unbiased and honest review. All opinions are my own and based solely on my personal experience with this product. I have been trying Shape Organic’s Garcinia Cambogia capsules for about two weeks now and am enjoying the benefits they provide. The all-natural capsules are small and easy to swallow. The hardest part for me, is remembering to take them ½ an hour before each meal. However, after carefully following the directions for two weeks now, I have noticed less cravings, I am fuller faster (and longer), and have had more energy. I am using these capsules in addition to diet and exercise. Since I have an athletic build I haven’t noticed a change in my actual weight, but my pants are fitting better so I take that as a win! I’m excited to see long-term results as well. It should be noted that supplements like Garcinia Cambogia should be taken 6-8 weeks before expecting to see maximum benefits.
For those unfamiliar with this supplement, Garcinia cambogia is a citrus fruit that grows in Southeast Asia. The extract from the fruit rind is called hydroxycitric acid (HCA). That extract (HCA) has been used for weight loss and to lower cholesterol. Typical doses are between 250 and 1,000 mg each day. Advocates say that HCA works by making you feel full, reducing your appetite, and affecting metabolism. It may also help to improve high cholesterol.

After turning 30, my skin has been prone to bumpy breakouts and oily skin. After using the MY Konjac sponge, my skin is much more toned than before and my complexion has evened out. I unfortunately inherited the "large pores" gene in my family and after using this sponge for a few weeks, it has helped to reduce the visibility of my pores. After washing my face, my skin feels extremely smooth and clean.
At first, I was skeptical about how deep it exfoliates because once the sponge is wet, it's so fluffy and soft--it doesn't seem like it would be good at exfoliating. But don't let the fluffy exterior fool you. If you consistently use this sponge with regular washings, you will see a difference in a few weeks. I have used the sponge in various ways. For daily cleaning, I saturate the sponge in warm water and gently squeeze to remove excess water. Then I apply my cleanser directly on the sponge; it produces a significant lather as it exfoliates. For a deep clean, I will do the same as above but use an exfoliating cream or wash. And for an even deeper extra-clean, I barely saturate the sponge so it's a little stiff and focus on my pores in a circular motion. To dry it out, I rinse out the sponge after use, squeezing gently to remove all the water and hang it to dry. The sponge has held up very well. I can see it lasting for several months. I would recommend being gentle with the sponge and avoid "wringing" it to dry. After the sponge has dried, it will shrink smaller than it came in the original package, but that's to be expected. With proper care, MY Konjac Bamboo Charcoal sponge will surely be a staple in your beauty routine for months to come. One final note: An added benefit to this sponge is that it's an additive-free, cruelty-free vegan product that is recyclable and can even be composted after use!

Ships All the ships & vehicles in TOMY Toys Miles From Tomorrowland line are extremely versatile and several interconnect adding even more features for extended play. Most feature lights and sounds as well. Stellosphere This is a very large 3-in-1 ship. The zip ship docks on top. Underneath, the ship opens into the Callisto's command center, which also stores a mini StarJetter. When the Mini StarJetter is outside of the Stellosphere, the charging chamber is available with glowing lights. The Cross Vehicle Rocket System (XVR) system connected at the base can be removed and attached to other ships to boost their sounds & lights. The playset also comes with a Miles figure in his blue & white TTA uniform, but with no helmet. Pros: lots of options for playing, especially for multiple children at once. The sounds and lights are unique, my kids especially liked the blasting off sound effect. The size of the ship instantly attracts kids to it. Cons: The front blue shields were initially hard for the kids to open, but they did loosen up after a week of play (before our party). The bottom gate (where the Mini StarJetter enters & exits) is difficult to close and because of that it tends to come off, but is easily reattached. Wish it had a handle like the StarJetter. |
