Art Naturals Konjac Facial Sponge Set - 2 Pack (Charcoal Black & Natural White)

Wonderful facial sponges.

They come dehydrated so before you use them for the first time you should soak them for a while, I'd say 10-15mins. There is a little hook provided in the package that you can (and should) hang them on. There is one white and one black sponge.





The white one is for daily use, the black should be used once a week for deeper cleansing. I have been washing my face with these in soft circular motion and after a few days of use my skin feels nice and soft. I don't use a ton of cleanser, just a dab, and still my skin feels cleaner than ever before. After I am done using the sponge I just rinse it thoroughly and hang it on the provided hook. I have read that I should be replacing the sponge every 4 weeks, I am hoping with good care it will last me slightly longer. I will just make sure to disinfect the sponge in hot soapy water every few uses. I love that these are absolutely natural, made of a Japanese plant, and I love how gently they exfoliate. Definitely recommend if you are looking for all natural product to help with your beauty routine...these are even 100% Vegan & Organic. Can't get much better than that can it.

 One thing that would make this product even better would be including directions on use in the package, not everyone follows all the beauty trends very closely so directions could help big time.

Popsicle molds

These molds are so much fun! I love making my own icecream and popsicles at home so that I know what exactly goes in it. These molds make it super easy. They are made of good quality BPA free plastic that can even go in the dishwasher. The molds are super easy to use...the base has little holes in it so that the treat doesn't slide off the stick. The stick has "no drip" design which helps a great deal when I am giving a frozen yogurt & fruit treat to my daughter who is just little over a year - like every baby, she is a messy eater!

Xtava collapsible diffuser

This diffuser beats any other diffuser that I tried so far. It's made of silicone so it's softer than the usual hard plastic ones. The nice thing is you don't have to have a same brand hair dryer, this thing fits a variety of 6” barrel hair dryers - I tried it on my older Zepter dryer and it worked just as beautifully as it did on my Xtava hairdryer. I have wavy hair that is on top of it super fine and frizzes easily, and using this diffuser gives me nice volume and it doesn't make my hair frizzy. Blowdrying with a diffuser also gives my hair some extra volume which I love.

#xtcanada Xtava Blowdryer

This is a great hair dryer. It's hard to find a hair dryer that would work so well. It has professional look and feel to it and it is super lightweight. There are 2 different air speed settings and 3 temperature settings. I love that it has a very low setting that protects my hair and even on that my hair gets dried pretty quickly. With some other blowdryers my hair feels dry and brittle afterwards but not with this one. I also love how quiet it is.
Definitely five stars out of five. This dryer is a salon quality dryer!

Easy@Home 3 in 1 Non-contact Infrared Thermometer for Baby Adult and Child Forehead, Surface and Room Temperature, Clinical High Accuracy, FDA Approved and Pediatrician Recommended, NCT 301

Great non-contact thermometer! I have to admit I was a little confused when I first tried it, it definitely pays off to read the directions! Ha! I tried and it read almost 39C on my forehead while I felt fine so I freaked out a little because I felt fine and normally if I am getting sick, I feel off at 37.2C!  Of course, after reading the directions, it turned out I put the thermometer waaaaay too close to my forehead. Once I followed the directions and kept it at a little over an inch, I was getting accurate readings! Love it! And my daughter will love it too, she hates the underarm thermometer, she is little over a year old and keeping her somewhat still to get proper reading is just brutal. So I am super happy I won't have to do that moving forward.
The unit comes with batteries which is nice. And to save the power in the batteries, the thermometer automatically switches off. Awesome product on all fronts.
I have received a sample product at a discount for the purpose of review and evaluation. Positive review was not guaranteed. I would not give a five star review if I did not strongly believe in the product - I just bought a 10 second underarm thermometer from a different brand and ended up throwing it out as it did not work...this one DOES!!!

Timber Wool Dryer Balls - 6 XL Size Pack - All Natural Alternative to Fabric Softener and Dryer Sheets to Save You Money



What an awesome, awesome product. I have been using the plastic dryer balls but eventually the little plastic "spikes" on them started falling out so I was itching to try something new that might last longer....and here I found it!
These dryer balls have absolutely no smell to them which is awesome! You can infuse them with essential oils if you want to (and then run a cool air cycle). I loved that the company sent a tips sheet before I even received the dryer balls - I would have questioned some things in regards to how to use them best if I did not get the email.
After one use I was able to confirm that the laundry does indeed get dry faster! Now I have used them with countless loads (household with a little kid, haha) and they perform beautifully. Yay for lower electricity bill!
