Imbue Naturals 20% Vitamin C Serum Review



  • PUREST VITAMIN C SERUM AVAILABLE: Imbue Naturals uses ingredients that have been shown to be effective in clinical, scientific trials. We remove the extra ingredients that have no clinical backing (most Vitamin C Serums flooding the market are not based on the actual research completed). Every bottle is packed with more of what gives Vitamin C Serum its potency and by doing this you are getting more value from us than our competitors. Many serums contain 1FL Oz of liquid but is their ingredient mix based on the clinical trials completed?
  • IMBUE NATURALS IS A COMPANY FOUNDED IN THE PURSUIT OF PERFECT SKIN. We are passionate about NATURAL skincare. That means (proudly) NO ALCOHOL and NO PARABENS. Imbue Naturals has doctors, medical researchers and beauty experts as advisors to the company to make sure we provide you with the best ways to gain amazing skin using natural and organic ingredients. We spend a lot of time researching what really works. We take the utmost care to produce our products in small batches and have stringent quality control measures in place so that every bottle is perfect when it arrives in your hands. We are a company dedicated to you getting results and won't compromise on quality.


My skin definitely feels smoother and clearer with this product, and I would recommend and keep using it for that purpose. With this product I felt the smoothness to my face skin right away, and within a couple of weeks i already noticed that the skin appearance is also smoother. It's not like a photoshop software that wipes out all blemishes, but it works.

Expandable Hose Review


  • Strongest Hose Available at 100-PSI (Pounds Per Square Inch) Working Pressure
  • 300-PSI (Pounds Per Square Inch) Burst Pressure
  • Starts Out 33 Feet and Expands to 100 Feet with Water Pressure, Release Pressure and Hose Returns to 33 Feet
  • Lightweight will Not Tangle, Twist, or Kink


I much prefer this to my regular garden hose. It is competitively priced and when you consider the convenience and ease of use, it is far superior to the normal garden hoses that are difficult to work with, difficult to store, are heavy and take up too much room. I don't like rolling up hoses so the last few years I've been using those spiral-type hoses that you don't have to roll up, and they worked pretty well, but they tend to get tangled and are sort of heavy, so I finally decided to give this type a try. Wow! This is easy to roll up because it's so light and flexible.  It's holding up well and it's been through some blistering hot temperatures and hard freezes.

LampLust Cool White 50 LED Submersible Battery Wire String Lights Review



  • Set of 3 cool white submersible 50 LEDs on flexible silver wire with a water-resistant battery box
  • Total length: 14 ft. (Lead wire: 5 ft., distance between each LED: 2")
  • Requires 3 AA batteries (Not included) - Per strand
  • 6-hour timer | On | Off
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use - Battery box NOT submersible


This is a really nice strand of lights. The LED lights are very bright and energy efficient. We have a back porch trellis we have always wanted to wrap tiny golden lights around....we had to install a new outdoor double light socket but that took WAY less time than hanging the three sets of lights in this set. I was pleasantly surprised by these lights. The strand for these lights is a thin, bendable metal wire which is strong enough to create letters or shapes. The wire is thin but sturdy, and the light bulbs are small enough to perfectly blend into whatever shapes you make. They are bright enough to light up a room, yet provide a soft, romantic light.

L'inspiré Advanced Hyaluronic Serum Review.


  • super-hydration formula
  • Only natural and organic ingredients that nourish your skin
  • Rich, non-sticky formula
  • No irritating and drying perfumes or colors



I am into products that don't have a lot of junk in them, as to why I love the product. Most people remark that I do not look my age. So I know the product helps. I wasn't expecting to see results for at least a month after first using it (if at all) but, to my great surprise, I started noticing a significant reduction in the depth of the lines around my mouth and on my cheeks within a week. This stuff is incredible. I use it daily. I only need 5-6 drops to cover my whole face (With a toner). this product is phenomenal!

System Sharpener Knife Sharpener Review




  • Dull knife is a dangerous knife!
  • Extremely Safe and Stable Sharpening
  • Extra strong suction pad
  • TWO STAGES of sharpening, in one small compact unit
  • Will NOT CAUSE NICKS in the Blade


This is a magnificent little sharpener. It will sharpen knives just as well as more expensive two stage sharpeners do. It's inexpensive, ergonomically friendly, and sharpens very well. Because it is both small and attractive, I can leave it on the kitchen counter beside my knife block for very quick, easy touch-up sharpening. A vast improvement over my previous knife-sharpening tools.

Beejuvenate Hand and Body Cream Review




  • BEEJUVENATE PRODUCTS ARE ALL NATURAL  & CONTAIN 12 OF THE BEST INGREDIENTS FOR SKIN HEALING & HYDRATION
  • Dry cracked skin (hands, knees, elbows,  face, Split ends on Hair, etc.)
  • Heals dry hands due to excessive hand washing (Especially for Nurses, Dental Hygienists, Restaurants, Food preparation, Construction Workers, All Sports, Harsh Weather Conditions, Emergency Preparedness Kits, etc.)
  • Helps heal wounds
  • Cracked or split finger tips (Contractors, concrete workers, electricians, carpenters, teachers, musicians, etc.)   





  • Hands down this is the best product I've used on my hands, cheaper as well. In fact after application you'll be hard pressed to tell it's even there. But trust me, it is.  You wont believe the hydration you feel immediately. And like I said in a few minutes you'll be hard pressed to tell there's anything there, until in a few days you notice your hands looks years younger and you've seen the end of cracked skin in the winter time. You'll notice a difference after just a couple of uses. Promise. It helps cracked heels, too.

    Book Review | Dating the Wrong Men


    Kelly Rossi’s Dating the Wrong Men: The Misadventurer’s Guide through Bad Relationship Choices, a fresh, entertaining, and comically written memoir filled with invaluable life and dating lessons. A true guide to love and romance for women working to find their prince in a pond of frogs, Rossi narrates her journey through each chapter highlighting a different ‘wrong man’ personality type that women are faced with in the current dating pool.

     I was doing a lot of head shaking, laughing, and at times was almost crying, I am embarrassed to admit how many of these “types” that I met along the way in my search for Prince Charming but I assure you it was more than I am able to count on my fingers. So many parts of this book I could relate too and it made me feel less alone. This book is a MUST READ! It is witty, charming, humorous, and inspirational.

    Beauty Box 5 - March 2015

    Beauty Box 5
    Cost: $12/month






























    Beauty Box 5 is a monthly beauty box subscription, consisting of 5 beauty items, usually drug store brands. The cost is $12 per month (less if you sign up for a longer subscription).  BB5 really isn't one of my favorite subs, but it does save me a trip to Walgreens every month for basic items.































    Hustle is the March theme of the box.































    Each box includes the information card with the items in the box and prices of each.































    Eslor Introductory Collection

    I have actually received these foil samples before, in a Birchbox I believe.  If memory serves me right. I wasn't super impressed with these, and I hate foil packs, so I will pass these along.































    Scandalous by Nanacoco Thickening Mascara - ($4.99)

    I always love getting new mascara to try in my boxes. I have not actually used a Nanacoco mascara yet so I'm anxious to see how well it works!




    Nanacoco Laugh Out Loud Lip Gloss in "Lust" - ($3.99)

    Two words: Lippie addict.  Who has way too many lip products? Me. Who will never in her lifetime be able to use them all? Me. Who still LOVES getting new ones? Me again!








































    Elite Therapeutics Rosemary Eucalyptus Body Cream - ($19.00)

    While I do enjoy Eucalyptus, rosemary really isn't one of my top favorite scents but I will definitely give this a shot, I use a ton of lotion/creams as my hands and legs get mega dry in the winter.





    Styli-Style Line & Seal Twist Mechanical Eye Liner in Lapis - ($4.99)

    I haven't used a twist eyeliner in ages, I am stuck on pencils. I may end up giving this one away, because I have so many I need to use.



    Overall: For $12, this is a great box and I got some great products that I am excited to use.

    Winkine Vintage Canvas Laptop Backpack Review




    • Super cool casual style canvas daypack, made of durable and practical high quality 100% cotton canvas. Strong and durable.
    • Great for school, outdoors, camping and travelling. Unique design straps ease the pressure on your shoulder.
    • High volume backpack with laptop lining.
    • It's perfect to hold your school binders, notebooks, laptop(15 inch) and text books. Special compartments for your wallet, phone, pen, iPad and more.








































    The canvas does give it a vintage look and overall I do like the way it feels. I'm also confident I probably won't run into someone with the same looking bag. This backpack is very well made and is exactly as described. If something happened to this one, I would replace it immediately with the same one. Perfect size for a day pack. This bag is great due to its ruggedness and numerous compartments. I also like the neutral tone... most laptop bags are either black, or some flowery design.
