I received a free bottle of Well State Power Pearl Probiotic via Tomoson a few weeks back and it is great. I suffer from irregularity and I have noticed a definite positive change. Also, I have been on a few runs of antibiotics lately. Usually antibiotics cause me to have a yeast infection, especially having 2 powerful runs within weeks, but that has not been a problem. I am not going to say it will prevent it, but the probiotics help restore things that anti biotics destroy, so it definitely helps.
Other probiotics I have taken in the past (along with most multivitamins and supplements) come in horse pill form, they tear my throat up and are sometimes hard to swallow. These are small and round and slide down so nice. I would love to see other supplements offered in this form.
You can get it on Amazon for $21.97 currently, for a 60 day supply, which, in my opinion, is a fairly good deal. http://amzn.to/1G2ouB7 (affiliate link) I really enjoyed this product and will definitely be getting more in the future and keeping my eye on other Well State Products.
Boring legal gobbly gook, I recieved this product for free in exchange for my opinions on it. I swear I tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth..
I was sent this product to try out by Foxbrim via Tomoson. I was sent it for free in exchange for my honest opinions on the product. I was excited to try it out and I do like it quite a bit. I don't really have damaged or dry hair, but it is very thick, and frizzy.
That's my hair, towel dried and how it is, even when I simply brush it or put it up in a pony tail, it doesn't want to behave and flies away all day. Not quite thick and wavy enough to be pretty and curly, just enough to be annoying. I don't like to use too many products though and I even limit my washing of it to 2-3 times a week as it keeps your hair healthy and keeps the natural oils in place. Using traditional products, while they can be effective, also seem to mess with the balance of my hair and throws my scalp into a panic.
So I was excited to use this product, as it is all natural and it isn't just for conditioning and repairing your hair, but can also be used to style it. This was me the first time I used it for styling.
A little greasy, there is a bit of a learning curve here, less is definitely more, I worked it into towel dried hair and didn't even use a brush, that's just working it through my fingers, it got a little better once brushed. The next day at work my boss complimented my hair and asked if I had straightened it or was using a new product, I told her I was trying out a new product called Foxbrim. Now I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't work on her hair too. Is it ideal for Caucasian and African hair?
The next time I washed my hair I just used shampoo and skipped the conditioner, and my hair was still so soft and silky. I skipped a use of Foxbrim and threw my hair into the usual messy bun and battled flyaways at work all day. I am now sold on it. I still haven't quite found the right amount to not look a bit greasy, but am getting better, I am bad at patience.
The only complaint I have is the smell, it's kind of tea tree oil in nature, but it doesn't linger on the hair, so it is tolerable, you just smell it as you apply your hair. Seeing how well it worked on my hair from just having a little bit, I am sure it is very great for applying as a restorative also. My hair just doesn't have that need at this moment, but I will give it a go next time I dye my hair and give it a bit of damage.
And you can get it from Amazon, for at time of posting, $17.95 and free shipping with Prime, genuinely worth that, because just a few drops does amazing things
I was once again chosen by Mom Select to host a Disney Side party. I got picked to host a multi-generation theme, which was perfect, because I applied to host it to take place during FAST. FAST stands for families and schools together, it was put together by the literacy council and was previously held at the local elementary school. We moved it to take place at a church though, because due to bureaucracy one of the important elements of having a family bring a meal each week was no longer allowed. It is a variety of families, some which aren't even related by blood, but they take on children, and we sing songs, do activities and have speakers come and speak about a variety of topics. We end it with a traditional African rain dance, which is pretty cool, because it involves waiting for your turn and paying close attention, and it sounds amazing.
So, I applied, thinking the multi generation theme would be perfect. I only had about half an hour for activities though, so I spoke about Disney and families and how it crosses the generations, and gave them the family tree kit, and the word search to work on together. I also brought Disney items and let each child pick one and made a big basket to use as a part of the raffle. Every week they raffle off a basket of items for a family, with different items for the parents and children, this week they got two. I also brought my world's largest Hershey bar for dessert and it was quite a task to break apart, but we got it done, it was delicious too.
One of the girls there mentioned they advised against going to Disney World because of disease and I told them that there was a Measles outbreak that began at Disney Land, but Disney World hasn't had anything, but I think Disney should really do some PR on that, because it has tainted the brand.
Now some pictures, it went so fast, so I only got a few.
Here's the lovely ladies that run FAST
The families all enjoyed my speech and the activities and I will probably bring some more of the activities to a future FAST meeting. They seemed really interesting in the pin the smile on mickey game. Thanks Mom Select for once again picking me, these families are very appreciative of any and everything, this is a very high poverty area, so any little bit and word of encouragement helps. I really believe in this program and have seen families learn and grow as families and become better.
I got a free jar of Reeses Spread from Influenster recently and LOVE IT. This week if you buy a jar of that or the Hershey's chocolate spread from Dollar General you get a free bag of pretzels or pretzel sticks, pretty sweet deal!
Okay, to start with, I have 7 cats. So I was beyond pleased when I got picked. I keep saying I am done with cats and they keep showing up on my porch, or in gas station parking lots, looking all sad and pathetic. So I take another in and get it fixed and feed it and take care of it. It's rewarding, but a lot of work (and money). I love my kitties though, a few of them even cuddle with me (and my son) in bed.
Which is just 9.99 and I have a coupon code where you can get $5 off if you purchase off of Amazon, and it is prime eligible! Deluxe Grooming Brush Amazon PageRGOYKBT2
It's a great brush and can be used for Cats and Dogs (and probably other furry animals too.) It has an ergonomic brush handle, so fits nicely in your hand, and removes excess fur without requiring a special deshedding tool. It also comes with 100% satisfaction guarantee, so if you or your pet aren't pleased with it, send it back. 4/7 of my cats gave it 2 paws up. One of them that doesn't love it, is kind of special and only loves lamp, though judging my the brush after brushing her, she really needed it, it was full of fluff and fur. The other 2 just wouldn't sit still long enough to decide. The 4 cats that love it though come running when they see me pull the brush out, they love it. It works really well, and makes them happy, and helps keep shedding down and leaves me a little less vacuuming and dusting to do. I am pleased with it and thank Ramini Brands for this opportunity to review their product!
I got picked by Amazon to be able to purchase an Echo. (you have to request an invite to buy).
I am an Amazon Prime member, so I got a discount on it, it is the coolest toy ever. I will have to post an in depth review with videos of me playing with it when I have a bit more time.
It is basically a pretty decent speaker (has to be plugged into the wall though) that you talk to and it performs a variety of functions, it "learns" and will have more capabilities later on. I am hoping for different voices and wake words. It's wake word is Alexa, after the library of Alexandria. If you have Amazon prime you have access to millions of songs for free (and can play your playlists) if not, you can set up iheart radio to it, you can set iheart radio to it even if you do have Amazon prime though.
So far I have had it; play me music, tell me the news (from NPR!!), give me the weather, add items to my shopping list, spell words, do math problems, define words, tell me facts, set an alarm, and tell me jokes. Oh and I discovered if you say, "Alexa who let the dogs out?" it replies, "who who who who." cracked me up! It also responds when you ask it what the fox says!
Oh and if Echo can't answer a question it will send you a link to a bing search to your companion app. Evan asked it a lot of random things, so I have been getting quite a few links sent to me.
