Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil & Massage Oil by Adovia Mineral Skin Care Review

Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil & Massage Oil by Adovia Mineral Skin Care
I have been loving this Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil that Adovia Mineral Skin Care sent me to review! I have been having so much fun creating homemade scrubs, massage oils and roller-ball perfumes. This Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil is a great oil that creates a barrier on your skin, but does not clog your pores or aggravate existing skin conditions. It's all-natural, light-weight, non-greasy and easily absorbed which is why it's perfect for use in scrubs and other skincare products. It also makes a great massage oil since the oil remains in liquid form provided by the fractionating process. Since it's the perfect Carrier Oil you can add some essential oil to it and make your own scented massage oils, perfumes or anything else you can dream up. It also makes the perfect all over moisturizer just by itself!

Info
The fractionated coconut carrier and massage oil by GoPure creates a barrier on your skin, but does not clog your pores. Provides a light-weight and non-greasy finish. It is composed of 100 percent natural Carrier Oil or pure base.
The shelf life, with proper storage conditions is indefinite. The product needs to be stored in a cool location, out of the direct sunlight.
Ideal product for massage therapy due to the ability for the oil to remain in liquid form provided by the fractionating process.
The Fractionated Coconut Oil offered by GoPure is not your average, cold-pressed coconut oil that is known for going solid when it reaches room temperature; however, its effectiveness as a moisturizer and emollient are the same.
When it comes to skin creams, oils and other similar products, many people are searching for an all-natural option, derived from ingredients that will actually help their skin, rather than causing more issues. Fractionated coconut carrier oil and massage oil is designed for this, providing a non-greasy finish that does not clog pores or aggravate existing skin conditions.
Coconut is one of the most common of the carrier oils. While it turns into a solid state when kept at room temperature due to the long unsaturated fatty acid triglycerides, the fractionated coconut oil goes through a heating process that separates the smaller fatty acids and the long-chain triglycerides, leaving only the saturated fats. This process is what enables it to remain in liquid form and what makes it the perfect product for carrier oil and massage oil. The refinement process deodorizes, clarifies and refines the oil.

Benefits of Fractionated Coconut Oil
Since all double bonds are eliminated, there is also no oxidation in the GoPure Fractionated Coconut Oil. This makes it a carrier that will never go bad. It offers users an indefinite shelf life and will remain in clear, liquid form, no matter how long it is stored. Some of the specific benefits this oil offers include:
  • Colorless and odorless. Will not stain and easily wash out of your clothing or sheets.
  • Quickly absorbs into the skin while reduce the evaporation of essential oils.
  • Ideal for skin; safe and natural moisturizer and non-irritant lubricator, leaving your skin feeling smooth and non-greasy.
  • Ability to be mixed with other, more costly carriers, in order to increase the shelf life further. It is also able to be combined to create different textures of creams.
  • The oil will not clog pores or aggravate other skin issues.
Ideal for Use with Essential Oils
The coconut carrier oil is the ideal product for working with essential oils. In many cases you will need to dilute the neat oil. If you do not and apply the highly concentrated essential oils to your skin, they can cause burning or other types of skin irritation. When essential oils are combined with the coconut carrier oil, they provide a lubricating agent and diluting agent helping the essential oils to provide the desired effect.
Additionally, when the GoPure coconut carrier oil is used with essential oils it can prevent them from evaporating so quickly and can actually aid in the absorption into the skin.

Specifications of Fractionated Coconut Oil from GoPure
GoPure Fractionated Coconut Oil meets the established quality standards of European Pharmacopoeia, Health Canada and the FDA.
  • Color
Clear, colorless and odorless liquid.
  • Common Uses
Ideal as an essential oil carrier, for massage purposes and as a skin moisturizing agent.
  • Aromatic Description
Just like most of the other carrier oils, Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil from GoPure has no scent or odor.
  • Absorbency Characteristics
The oil creates a skin barrier, but does not clog your pores. Provides a lightweight barrier, without feeling greasy or as if it is weighing down your skin.
  • Cautions
While there is the possibility to have an allergic reaction to the Fractionated Coconut oil, it is significantly less than regular coconut.

Summary of Fractionated Coconut Oil by GoPure
The Fractionated Coconut Oil offered by GoPure is considered an all-natural type of carrier oil that is able to easily absorb into your skin, which makes it a go-to option for all types of topical therapies. It offers a feather-light emollient, providing a soothing barrier, without the risk of clogging your pores, and is ideal for dry or otherwise troubled skin. It provides the skin with a non-greasy, silky smooth feel, unlike the other vegetable carrier oils currently available. It is completely soluble with all types of essential oils and is odorless and colorless, which means it will not stain any fabric it comes in contact with. It also has a prolonged shelf life, which means it will not go rancid and is designed for topical use only.

GARCINIA CAMBOGIA EXTRACT plus GREEN COFFEE BEAN Review.



You hear about Garcinia Cambogia everywhere on TV, in the magazines and on social media. Everyone wants to find that magic pill that help them shed those extra pounds. There is no miracle pill out there but what there is Gloryfeel`s Garcinia Cambogia with green coffee bean extract, potassium and black pepper. This product was a godsend because what it did was give me more energy and helped curb my appetite so that I wasn`t snacking on junk food. When you have more energy you are more active and are able to go out and do stuff. Now if you go to the gym and workout I`m sure you will see great results. Me personally I rather walk or run outside or chase my son around at the park. With Gloryfeel`s GC I lost 10 ten pounds in two weeks. It curbed my appetite so that I wasn`t reaching for the chips, candy or ice cream. I didn't change my diet I just stopped snacking on junk food and since I had the energy to get off the couch I was more active and burnt more calories. I highly recommend this brand if you are thinking of trying Garcinia Cambogia. I have tried other brands but this one gave me better results. Family, friends, and co workers told me they noticed that I have lost weight and wanted to know how. GloryFeel`s Garcinia Cambogia is how!!! I feel great this is just the boost in energy that I needed. I sent this product for review in exchange for an unbiased opinion.

Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum Review.




Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum

How to Use this Product:
According to the bottle, you apply this serum after toning, but before moisturizer. Toners help to really absorb serums, so that’s the reasoning behind that.  Again, the packaging is very attractive on this bottle. It’s nearly identical to that found with the Anti-Aging Moisturizer.
The Claims:
The claims for this product are a bit different than those I mentioned for the Anti-Aging Moisturizer.  According to the box, this serum is supposed to “Plump(s) & hydrate(s) dry dull skin; assist(s) in balancing skin moisture levels; and diminish(es) surface lines and wrinkles.”
The Texture, Consistency, and Scent:
The texture of this serum is a little thinner than serums I’ve used in the past, but still not overly watery. I think that the consistency is nice and good for lighter moisturizing. It doesn’t absorb the best by rubbing. I recommend patting this serum into the skin, but that’s what you should do with serums anyway. The smell of this serum is not at all overpowering and is very delicate. This is a gentle serum and I think it would be good for all skin types.
My thoughts:
Overall, I can’t say anything bad about this serum. It is non-irritating so far and the smell is not overwhelming. I think that the claims for this product can only be seen with extended use. I recommend giving this serum a try if you are looking for a good hyaluronic acid serum.

My Review

I would first like to disclose I received this product for free from BrandBacker in exchange for an honest review. This is a thick, opaque gel formula that smells like fresh cucumbers. This product drew my attention because it treats under eye circles. I personally have dark circles from hell. Or rather I did. I’m not claiming this is a miracle worker and since I don’t have a problem with under eye wrinkles or puffiness I can’t speak to that aspect of this product. However my experience was with application twice a day as suggested my dark circles did lighten. This product smells of cucumber gave me a spa feeling because of that. I recommend this product for sure. Just remember this isn’t a medicated product and probably won’t produce miracles but in the short time I’ve been using it this product has helped me. You can find it on Amazon here

Review 
 I feel everyone needs one of these tools in their vehicles for safety reasons.
 The Autobar can cut through a seatbelt if you are stuck and the seat belt won't release. It has been known to happen after an accident that the catch won't release. I can still remember a woman wrecking near my step-father's job site and the men desperately trying to release her from the seatbelt. Obviously, I have been unable to test this portion and hope I never have to.

The Autobar also will break out a window. I know my cousin has a personal fear of this so she would love to own one of these. The metal tip is very solid and I can see how it would work to break a window. Obviously, I have been unable to test this portion and hope I never have to.


I was sent this for review purposes these thoughts are my own

Adeline Organic Eye Serum Review



I received this product for review in exchange for an unbiased opinion these thoughts are my own. Adeline organic eye serum is an aloe and cucumber eye serum. This product is light and a small amount goes a long way. It goes on very smooth. You just basically pat it on around your eye area. It is not sticky at all and it was actually cool and refreshing to my under eye area. I have used it for a week now every day and have already noticed that my eye area looks brighter and is certainly smoother. Because you use such a small amount, this product will last you a long time. It has a very light scent that is not overpowering. It dries quickly also so you can put it on and then be ready to apply the rest of your makeup about 2 minutes or less later. I really like this and think you should definitely give it a try! I start with a fresh clean face and then apply this in a tapping motion under my eyes and at the outside corners of my eyes where crows feet are prone to show up. I then just let it dry. I have not had any irritation and there is no burning or stingy like with some products, but please avoid getting it in your eyes.

Review

This was the first Abigail book I have read, but Tali Carmi has been writing a series about Abigail's adventures with her magical bike. 
In the story we learn about igloos, what the people from the North Pole eat, and about polar bears. 

I love reading books to my children, especially when it gives them information on new places and cultures.
The author was great to keep the wording simple for children to understand. 

My five year old stayed interested throughout the whole story and even talked about what she learned from the story and wanted me to read more about Abigail's adventures. 
This is a great book for young children because it's very colorful and they get an idea of how people in North Pole live in a way. I would recommend this book to elementary teachers and parents with young children.

 I will definitely be getting more of Abigail's adventures to see where she might go next.

Adeline Anti-Aging Moisturizer review



This has become my favorite moisturizer to use first thing in the morning. Adeline Anti-Aging Moisturizer is a medium consistency moisturizer and it feels a bit sticky right after applying, but that goes away in just a few minutes, and then I am free to apply my makeup, if I am wearing any that day.

It’s not just great for your face, but can also be used on the neck, hands or anywhere else on your skin. The only place it is not meant for is the eye area. It will sting, again due to the peppermint oil. I love how it soaks into my hands and forearms and really takes away the dryness and plumps the skin up immediately , feeling soft and moisturized.

It contains some great ingredients for anti-aging like Hyaluronic Acid, Matrixyl, Vitamin C,  Peptides, Shea Butter and Green Tea Extract. It is very gentle and can be used on all skin types. You can use it as a stand-alone moisturizer after cleansing and toning the skin, or over the addition of a serum if you use one.

Adeline Beauty is a small company that was founded by a husband and wife team, that really cares a lot about their customers experience with their products. As well as not wanting to add any nasty chemicals to their line, they also wanted to make it affordable. They also take things into consideration, such as how the pump functions and how the bottle feels in a person’s hand. It is proudly made in the U.S.A. If you are looking for a nice multi-purpose  moisturizer, I truly think you will enjoy this one from Adeline Beauty. Here is where you can purchase and check out the product on Amazon: Here

Leather Nova Cleaner and Conditioner Review

I received this product for review and I was so excited because of how many leather items/products that I own and that need to cleaned. I used this first on my leather boots and purses and the results were fabulous! I also used this Leather Nova Leather Cleaner on my car seats and the results were even more amazing! This product will not dry out your leather and simply makes it look new! It comes with a fabulous Microfiber Towel as well. And once again… it is made in the USA! I am doing a review on their Leather Nova Leather Conditioner as well…. you need both for full benefits!
Purchase and/or Check out this product at AMAZON  here
Leather Nova Leather Cleaner penetrates material deep down to tackle and remove dirt, grime and oil. It is great for cleaning all types of leather & vinyl including: – Interior car seats – Motorcycle seats – Sofas, couches, furniture – Boots, shoes – Wallets – Purses – Leather belts – Saddles and other sporting and equestrian goods The Leather Conditioner and Restorer Comes in an 18 oz spray bottle. It gently and safely cleans ALL types of leather surfaces, including purses, shoes, sofas, chairs, car seats, etc. Comes with a free microfiber towel for cleaning. Made in USA, No harsh detergent or toxic ingredient. Safe for all leather, vinyl & plastic.This product has a pH balanced formula, Deeply penetrates the pores of leather to remove dirt, grime and oil. Opens the pores and prepares the leather to be treated with conditioner. Find it here Not suitable for suede, nubuck or microfiber.


Leather Nova’s Ultimate Leather Protector Conditioner. Also made in the USA for non-toxic, high grade polymers, and like the cleaner, free from harsh detergents and chemicals. It goes on thick (using the included microfiber applicator and, again, my hand) but spreads easily. It was very shiny and had me quite worried, but a careful reading of the directions says to leave it on for an hour and then buff the excess away. After a hour I buff with a soft cloth. Hubby’s chair didn’t look this snazzy when we brought it home from Krause’s! And the smell is almost showroom new. No little cloth fibers left behind from buffing, just a soft, smooth, supple leather chair that even I can now enjoy sitting in. It even lessened the appearance for the two surface scratches in the seat cushion. Two for two!

Finally I tested out the  Leather Nova Cleaner & Conditioner. Made to the same standards of the stand alone cleaner and conditioner product, it was, sadly, my least favorite of the the three. I followed the directions to a tee, but felt that the two separate products did a far superior job of both cleaning and conditioning the leather. I could see this being used as a “touch up” or follow-up treatment after using the other two products first to deep clean and condition, but as a stand alone product it felt lacking. It worked well on Hubby’s wallet, and an old purse of mine that had seen better days (it may even work it’s way back into the rotation again!). But where it really shined was an old leather jacket I’d given hubby back when we were dating. He’s used and abused it, even one year where it was used to take our little dog out to do her business. In the rain. And then left in the garage to dry. After an all-over treatment from Leather Nova’s Cleaner & Conditioner, it felt better than the day I gave it to him. Many, many, many (like, a lot of) years ago. And now with many more years to come. So while it wasn’t my favorite of the three, it still did an outstanding job on it’s own.

Adovia Eye Cream Review


I work at 6am everyday so those dark circles are hard to avoid. I wash my hands to avoid getting oils on my face then dab a small amount lightly on my trouble areas. A natural, healthy product is exactly what your skin is looking for. I received this sample product to write an honest review. The appearance of the fine lines, wrinkles around his eyes are greatly softened and diminished, the bags under his eyes have softened wrinkles. We made the mistake of thinking that it would help get rid of the bags, well no, not that, it would take down swelling around the eyes (puffiness) just as it claims. The bags tend to be fatty tissues that increase under the eye with age, there is no known non-surgical way to improve this, though the wrinkles there can be softened quite a bit by Adovia Eye Cream and it has for him. :) Would I recommend the eye cream? Yes and No, yes for those who don’t have sensitive eyes & skin to skincare products. A no to those who have had recent eye surgery. Dry eyes, you be the judge for yourself, researching around the internet I see many people who have checked out this product and it helped their tired and dry eyes. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

THE BEST Retinol Serum-Retinol Correcting Serum Review

Joyal Beauty Retinol Correcting Serum reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving the appearance of skin elasticity. This serum is gentle enough for daily use. WOW in a bottle! I was skeptical at first because there are many retinol serums that promise to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles etc, honestly didn’t know, I can proudly say that it is great! The directions say to use 1-2 pumps, I used 2 at first , it was almost too much! it goes a long way! The serum silky feel to it. After it dried, I had BABY soft skin! I love how Moisturizes & hydrates my skin while I sleep! There is no real smell to it and no irritation as well which happy about. Retinol works slow so I expect to see better results in the future. Since using this I can see a more even tone skin. Overall I am very satisfied with this retinol serum. The exclusive formula is: Tested to minimize the risk of allergic reaction Noncomedogenic (won’t clog pores)
                  

    * Non-irritating formula. Gentle enough for daily use. Less is more. Retinol Correcting Serum supports the natural cell regeneration process, along with collagen and elastin synthesis to leave skin visibly smoother and tighter. First-time users should build skin tolerance to retinol gradually
    *Prevent deep wrinkles and cellulite. Retinol serum encourages the skin to produce more collagen. Reduce the appearance of lines, winkles and saggy skin. With ongoing use, you will see fewer wrinkles, smoother skin, and improved skin tone.

    * Brightens dark circles and age spots. When applied under the eyes, retinol improves circulation to strengthen these vessels and improve the flow of fresh, oxygen-rich blood to this area, making the skin brighter and circles less noticeable. Retinol encourages the delicate skin around the eyes to thicken, which also helps conceal dark circles. Elsewhere on the face, increased cell turnover helps to both prevent and brighten dark spots, or hyperpigmentation, caused by the sun. Improve skin tone and reduce dullness. Supercharged Blend of 1% Retinol and Antioxidants encourage the shedding of dead skin while stimulating the production of new cells – both essential for maintaining a fresh, youthful complexion

Product Review: Radha Beauty’s 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil



In case you haven’t heard of Argan Oil, here is some information from their website so you know.  Again, I got this from their website. I did not write this:
“What it is: Argan Oil is a 100% organic, chemical-free oil that truly moisturizes and revitalizes your skin.  It has so much Vitamin E and essential fatty acids that you can immediately feel the amazing healing properties—for skin, hair, feet and nails.”
Why I love it: I can use it on my hair and skin as an everyday moisturizer and it really does wonders for me. I also love argan oil baths which I do at least twice a week. Argan Oil is so subtle that it has no scent and does not have the oily sensation of all other oils.
What’s in it: Absolutely 100% Pure Argan Oil—organically grown, cold-pressed, and ready for you to absolutely love it.”

I had the opportunity to try a product from Radha Beauty, and since I already loved their skincare products, I was excited to have something else from them. This time it was argan oil, which is so great since it has multiple uses. I first discovered argan oil in late 2012, when it was starting to become trendy, and received a sample of Josie Maran’s Argan Oil. Because the brand was so expensive, I treated the oil like it was precious treasure, using only once a week to try and make it last as long as possible. Radha only charges about $15 for a 4 oz bottle while Sephora charges $96 for the Josie Maran brand, same size! And they both contain 100% pure organic argan oil– that’s all.

That said, there’s a reason why argan oil is so popular! I’ve used it for my skin as well as my hair, and you don’t need to use very much. I apply the oil to my face and cuticles to combat dryness, and it feels like your skin is moisturized for hours. It hasn’t caused me to break out, either. My hands get really dry, especially around my cuticles where the skin starts to crack, giving me annoying hangnails, but after I applied the oil, they looked much healthier. Hangnails disappeared! When applied to my face, it helps reduce the appearance of my dark circles and makes my complexion glow. Some people have said that with consistent use, they’ve reduced their need for foundation because their skin improved so much after using argan oil.

The serum is well packaged in a cylinder container. When you remove the cap, it has a pump which is great to control the amount of serum you want. Also great to avoid any spills and messes.

Since I have been using this serum, I noticed changes within my skin. I have sensitive acne prone skin with discoloration due to acne scaring and sun damage. Within two days of using the Vitamin C serum, I noticed a few changes. The acne that I had on my face was clearing up quickly and the size of the pimples were reducing dramatically. Normally it takes about a week or so for that change to occur without using this serum on my skin. The discoloration on my face started to lighten and some dark spots had started to fade away as well. The last thing I noticed change with is my complexion; it is clearer, becoming more even toned and radiant. This is a must have product for me because I just love this results I am getting from it and how effective it is. Plus it is not harsh at all on my face.

I loved the Radha Vitamin C Serum. It does not contain parabens, alcohol, or sulfates. It doesn’t matter what skin type you are, this product can be used. After washing I applied this to my face and neck. I did not need a lot to cover my face and neck either, It feels nice and smooth going on. Its not heavy or greasy and soaked right in.

I also used the Radha Retinol Moisturizer. It is made up of vegan hyaluronic acid, organic aloe, vitamin e, and green tea and retinol. These products gives you the benefit of reducing wrinkles, fine lines and dark spots. It has a light scent too, nothing heavy. It feels so smooth after you use it.

Review: Kiss Me Organics Dandelion Root Tea with Hibiscus & Cinnamon

All about Dandelion Root:
The Dandelion root is rich in Vitamins A, B-complex, C, D and K as well as minerals; potassium, iron and zinc. These vitamins have been proven successful in the treatment of depression and mood disorders (Vit. B), treating liver dysfunction (Iron), and an immune booster (Vit. C). Used for many years, the Dandelion root is made into a delicious and nutritious tea, making it easy to consume and easy to reap the rewards and its many benefits. Health Benefits of the Dandelion Root: Digestive Aid / Kidney Health / Improve Liver Function / Regulate Blood Sugar / Regulates Blood Pressure / Vitamin Rich I hadn’t tried dandelion tea before this and I think it’s going to become one of my usual teas.

I’ve always loved hibiscus and cinnamon and I think they compliment the dandelion very nicely. The tea is packaged nicely. When purchasing a pack of five boxes, they come in a perfectly sized box and each individual box inside has a clear wrapper over it.


The teabags have paper tags which I like. The teabags themselves seem to have a lot of dust in the packet from the tea inside that contributes to a strong scent. I’m not sure how I feel about the scent but it’s much milder and more pleasant as you’re brewing the tea. The tea has a nice bite to it with the cinnamon and the hibiscus mellows it out a little.


Pros:
•Nice flavor
•Great health benefits
•Organic

Cons:
•Strong smell

Overall, despite the strong scent from the teabags, this tea’s a winner! It’s available on Amazon

Pure &Essential Minerals Dead Sea Mud Mask

The company claims: “As this luxurious mud mask gently dries on your face, it draws out excess oils, impurities & grime from your skin. At the same time your skin is infused with ancient Dead Sea minerals and essential oils. This mask leaves your face clean, fresh and blemish free. Used weekly your complexion will gain a new clarity and all-day glow”

Size

Honestly, for $25 this is a decent sized container. The jar is 6 oz, but after 3 applications I’ve barely made a dent. I can easily see this jar lasting 5 or 6 months or about 20 – 24 applications. That’s only about $1 an application making it highly reasonable.


Benefits
 
  • Removes Dead Skin Cells – the natural silica found in the black mud hardens and allows the mask to extract toxins and impurities located deep in the skin layers and removes dead skin cells in the process.
  • Can Help with Acne – contains natural minerals like magnesium, calcium, sulphur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc and potassium, which are known to treat, detoxify, and cleanse the skin.
  • Stimulates Circulation – when blood circulation is poor it leads to an uneven skin tone, patches on the skin, and may even cause wrinkles. By applying a weekly facial mud mask you can dramatically increase blood flow to your skin cells and achieve a healthier and plumper looking skin.

My Review
 
I have never used a face mask before, never had a facial, or really used anything on my face besides cleanser. Being the first time, I was a bit hesitant to use this on my face, but decided to go for it and just use it! The mask smells like peppermint and sea salt, which is a nice smell during the 5-10 minutes that I leave it on my face. It does have a tingling effect some people may not like but I didn't mind it  The instructions say to use it once a week (even though I used it twice in one week), and after 1 use, I can already tell that my face is softer and brighter.  The mask dries and is easy to take off with a wet rag, which is PERFECT for a quick morning when I need to clean and soften my face. Gotta keep that skin smooth eh? So maybe you all should try it and tell me what you think!!!

Fogless Shower Mirror

Recently I received Cassani‘s Fogless Shower Mirror in return for my unbiased opinion.  At first  I wasn’t sure how I was going to use it. I don't shave my face and my husband has a full beard that he never shaves but I decided to hang it on my shower wall and see if I would use it.

The mirror is made of plastic and not glass which I am very happy about so it if falls down, it won’t shatter into  pieces and give me 7 years of bad luck.  The mirror is easy to set up  just place the hook for the mirror around face height  and press it into the wall. It doesn't have suction cups.  I enjoyed the razor hook  (it's nice to have a spot for your razor.  The hooks are made of stainless steel, so hopefully, they will not rust.

I have found a use for this mirror afterall, I am bringing my tweezers into my shower!  It's so convenient  for me to pluck my eyebrows and any other stray hairs I might find around my face. I also find that this is useful with my cleansers and pore brush, so I can ensure that I cleanse my face and not miss any spots that need special attention. The mirror, so far, has not fogged up and I’ve been using it for over a week now.   I always take steaming hot showers and was surprised to see that the mirror has not fogged up with using such hot water.  Make sure you follow the cleaning instructions and not use glass cleaner or any other chemicals. Just use water and a soft cloth to clean ~ otherwise, it will destroy the anti-fogging properties of the mirror.

All in all, I am pleased with this product it has many uses and does what its supposed to do.

Achieve A Flawless Shave Every Time   Why Shave In The Shower?

Warm and Clean
Instead of letting your razor sit on the sink, keep your razor both clean and warm under the hot spray of the shower.
Plus, no more messy sinks = Bonus points with the ladies.

Razor Burn Be Gone!
It's itchy, it stings and it leaves unsightly bumps that leave you feeling self-conscious. The steam from a nice hot shower softens hair and skin, while also opening up the pores for a closer shave, helping you say "Goodbye!" to razor burn

Continuous Hydration
It may not be seen as "manly" to worry about keeping your skin moist, but moist skin helps you get the most effective shave every time. Because really, who wants to look like they haven't shaved in days after waking up early to have time for a clean shave?

Savvy Ice Balls Review


This set is adorable. When it got here, I was surprised at how excited  my husband was when he saw it!! My husband is really into whiskey stones but they only stay cold for so long before they get to room temperature.  I love the silicone tray! The ice balls are easy to remove also. They took a long time before they started to melt since they are 2 inch balls!  The best part is they won't water down your drinks, by the time the balls melt you will be done your beverages.  This would make a great Christmas gift.  I can't wait to use these ice spheres in my punch that I'm making for my son's birthday party. They have a 100% thrilled or your money back guarantee!! I really don’t think they have to worry about that though.
