The bottom line is that I am very pleased with this purchase. It is comfortable and sturdy so it should hold up very well even through many washings. I received a discount on this product in return for evaluation and unbiased review which I have provided.
This sleep mask is literally saving my marriage. My husband likes to watch TV when he goes to bed, I prefer to sleep, which is almost impossible with the TV on, even if he does have it captioned. He also likes to keep a night light on because he gets up during the night for bathroom or to let the dog out. This sleep mask along with the bonus ear plugs have completely blocked out the light and sound. Don’t think that I haven’t tried other sleep masks because I have, only to be disappointed. I have purchased cheap ones at the dollar store that actually bled color on my face. I would wake up with a mask under the mask! They were cheaply made and fell apart when washed. I am always drawn to sleep masks when I see them advertised and have tried other brands but am always disappointed. They either let the light in or are glued around the edges.
When I found Lazy Lidz sleep mask, I figured I had nothing to lose because there is a guarantee! I had full intentions of following up on that if this mask did not measure up to its claims. When it arrived, it was quite apparent that this is a quality product. It is double stitched and bound around the edges and there is an extra piece of flexible fabric across the bridge area of the nose, where light usually tries to sneak in. The fabric conforms to the shape of my nose blocking it out entirely. The soft velvety material against my skin is like a slice of heaven. The satin on the outside is smooth as silk and nothing snags on it like hair, pillow case or sheets. It did not make me feel hot or sweaty. There is an adjustable elastic with Velcro so it can be adjusted to fit snug without binding or getting your hair caught and tangled. The band also has two loops to hold your ear plugs so that they are always handy.
The bottom line is that I am very pleased with this purchase. It is comfortable and sturdy so it should hold up very well even through many washings. I received a discount on this product in return for evaluation and unbiased review which I have provided.

Glow2Go self-tanning towelettes were a new and innovative concept to me. I have tried self-tanning products with some degree of satisfaction, but they were creams, foams or sprays. Some work better than others, but one thing is certain, we have come a long way from the first self-tanning lotion. This is the first time using a prepackaged towelette. I really like the concept of the premeasured, prepackaged I am not fair skinned. I have olive colored skin which typically does not burn.
The color is nice, not orange, but a nice glowing bronze. I was curious how these products work and why not everyone gets the same result. I researched as I do any product that I use and found that as quoted from the American Academy of Dermatology, the most effective products available are sunless- or self-tanning lotions that contain dihydroxyacetone DHA as the active ingredient. DHA is a colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells located in the stratum corneum of the epidermis. As the sugar interacts with the dead skin cells, a color change occurs. This change usually lasts about five to seven days from the initial application. Depending on the amount of dead skin cells you have, it will work differently. It is also important to follow the instructions and don’t shave for at least 24 hours and start with clean skin, in other words not too many dead skin cells. I found that tid bit quite informative.
Now, I have the kind of feet that sweat a lot causing a reaction to whatever material is on my foot. When I wear nylons, my feet smell like vinegar. When I wear sneakers, it is more of a corn chip or popcorn smell. If I am wearing cheap imitation leather, then it just smells like something rotten. I don't mind talking about it because if you are reading this review you must have the same issues. It blew me away how well this product works. You do want to make sure that you spray them well enough in advance so that they dry, otherwise you will be putting your feet into damp shoes. I put it to the test. I sprayed my stinkiest sneakers and the next day, smelled them. The odor was gone. All I could smell was the rubber material of the shoe, no stink. I actually want to try this on all things smelly like the dog bed, furniture, carpet.

Amare Terra also gives back to the Earth by donating 10% of their sales to build wells for those who need them. I would say that is a great company.
This flashlight came just in time for Father’s Day giving. As a plumber, my husband goes through a lot of flashlights and batteries. The Solaray Pro Flashlight Series ZX-1 Flashlight is water resistant and made of aircraft grade aluminum encased LED. It comes with 2 rechargeable lithium batteries complete with wall charger. It also comes with a battery adapter so that you can use your alkaline batteries in a pinch. The power switch, located at the end of the flashlight gives you the high beam with one push, two for medium and three for low beam. The forth setting activates a strobe and fifth an SOS signal which make these ideal for a car emergency kit. The spectrum of the beam can be adjusted with the turn of the zoom lens. It can light up a large area like a spotlight or can be reduced to a powerful narrow beam which is good for looking into pipes and down drains, which is one of the many uses for this nifty flashlight. As an added bonus, this quality flashlight comes nicely packaged for gift giving and also included is a keychain flashlight which is great for finding that keyhole in the dark or finding that pack of gum at the bottom of your purse, sitting in a dark movie theater. So the bottom line here is that this is a quality product which is made well. It is compact, multifunctional and durable. I especially like the fact that it has rechargeable batteries and charger which are included. It is definitely a thumbs up for me! I received this product for my unbiased review which I have provided.
Body Merry’s Hyaluronic Acid Serum goes to work on your skin as soon as you apply it. It is loaded with nourishing moisturizers like Jojoba oil. It is all natural which is a huge plus in my book! The serum is clear and odorless and goes on smooth. It is fully absorbed, leaving my skin soft and silky. I had been using another brand and noticed this one is not as thick as my current brand. It comes in a dropper bottle vs. a pump dispenser so a couple of drops is all that is needed to cover my problem areas on my skin. Now you might wonder why this hyaluronic acid says it is VEGAN. It led me to research if there is any other kind and I found that hyaluronic acid is present in the human body. It is also used to treat osteoarthritis. The hyaluronic acid used in medical treatments usually comes from the combs of roosters. Yes, I think I want Vegan on my face! Hyaluronic acid is also used as a lip filler in plastic surgery. Some people apply hyaluronic acid to the skin for healing wounds, burns, skin ulcers, and as a moisturizer. There seems to be a lot of interest in using hyaluronic acid to prevent the effects of aging. I have been seeing this ingredient in in many beauty products on the market today. Most of these products are very expensive. Body Merry makes it more affordable but, does it really work?
About This Product
My ExperienceThe experience I have with a company is almost as important as the product itself. This company backs every product that they sell. The latest in their line of skin care is the Hyaluronic Acid Serum which minimizes wrinkles and fine lines. It is a clear, thick odorless gel that feels cool going on. You can feel the skin tighten as it dries. It comes in a convenient pump dispenser for metered portions. I have used Retseliney skin care products exclusively for several months now and see an improvement in the elasticity and texture of my skin. This hyaluronic acid serum is like a 911 for your skin. This is one product that you can see quick results. After using this for 2 weeks, I saw a difference and so did my friends. I had someone who I hadn’t seen in a while ask me if I had been on a vacation. She said that I looked glowing. No one can believe that I have a daughters in their 40’s. People think we are sisters and I attribute my youthful looking skin to Retseliney. This Hyaluronic Acid Serum is another quality product by this company. I am glad that I had the opportunity to receive this product at a discount and participate in a promotion to evaluate and review this product. Bottom line, it works well and does everything that it says. I would purchase this product again and recommend it to any woman, or man who wants to have a more youthful appearance.
I was about due for some new coasters. I was attracted to the sleek modern look of these coasters by Enkore. They are made of silicone and are pliable and have good gripping power. It holds onto the surface so that the coaster itself does not scratch the surface like wood or tile coasters can. I especially like the fact that they are heat resistant so they can also double as trivets for hot plates. They are a generous size, 4.3” which accommodates a casserole dish with some overhang but it keeps it off the table. The raised design allows for air circulation eliminating condensation from building up. The heat resistance also makes them dishwasher safe. They are food grade silicone which means, no foul odor from chemicals, and safe to use around food. They certainly are different than your traditional coaster set. They are a great conversation and design piece as well as a thoughtful gift. I was given these coasters for evaluation and review. I think they are pretty awesome!
It is very important to know the quality and source of the fish oil when purchasing. Fish oil can come from any variety of fish. These fish can be contaminated with mercury or toxins which can have ill effects on your health and be counterproductive which is why you need to make sure you are purchasing pure fish oil. Research the company before adding it to your diet. I have done the research for you. Quality Encapsulations is a US manufacturing company and they are GMP certified so you can be sure that they follow FDA rules. The gel caps are a little larger than the red ones that I have taken. They go down easy and are fresh. I want to make a point about the freshness because oil can get rancid quickly and when fish oil gets rancid, that is when you burp fishiness and have that awful aftertaste. With these capsules, there is absolutely no fishy aftertaste.
Now, I am not going to lie to you and tell you that I started taking this and suddenly I am the bionic woman! Fish oil is a therapy which means it works over time with continued use. My doctor recommended that I take it for blood pressure and high cholesterol. I had originally purchased an enormous bottle from a club store but by the time I got to the bottom of the bottle it was rancid. The Pharmaceutical grade compounds in this supplement differ from the others that I have taken because it is triple strength and half the price. Although I was given this product for evaluation and review, I am glad to have found this company with a good product that is reasonably priced

If you haven’t already heard, caffeine is a new hot ingredient in the skincare industry. It not only perks me up in the morning but can also perk up my skin, It constricts blood vessels to take the red out and also breaks down cellulite. You can imagine my delight when I saw this cream. I found the ingredients interesting because I did not see coffee beans so the caffeine comes from another source. Included on the list of ingredients is horse chestnut and fenugreek seeds. According to Web MD “Horse chestnut seed and leaf are used for treating varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and swollen veins (phlebitis).” I can see it working in a beauty cream. Fenugreek seeds is said to help swelling and is used in soaps and cosmetics. It has the odor of maple syrup. This cellulite cream does have a distinctive scent. It is unexpected but not offensive. You can smell it when applying but it does not linger. I have been using this for a couple of weeks and do not see a marked difference in my cellulite. My skin is smoother and it does seem to take the red out. I would imagine that over time, this would be a beneficial treatment for cellulite. It is a good moisturizer and does make my skin feel tighter. I like the fact that it does also have retinol which repairs skin damage from the sun and the ingredients are natural. I am glad that I had the opportunity to acquire this product at a discount in return for my unbiased review.
