I have recently started to collect essential oils for the many uses they have with them. You can cook with them. You can clean with them. Some people use them to make their own skin care and beauty products. Personally I use my lemon oil for cleaning and for aromatherapy.  I don't own a diffuser yet, but I place several drops of lemon in a small glass and put it on my candle warmer and it works almost as good as one of those diffusers.

This Lemon oil is amazing in quality.  If you have not read up on how many uses there are for Lemon Oil Please do so. There are so many great things you can do with Lemon oil for self care as well as house hold cleaning products. I love the applicator and how easy it is to make something smell great.

BRILLANTE™ Clear Globe String Lights Review

BRILLANTE™ CLEAR GLOBE STRING LIGHTS - ($26.00)

• THESE GLOBE STRING LIGHTS ARE FOR YOU IF: You would like to add a warm ambiance to your patio, wedding, party, bedroom or living room. You'll love these lights! Because they are intended for indoor and outdoor use they are a great way to add a whole new level of charm to your home or event.
• Expandability - You can connect up to 2 sets end-to-end
• INCANDESCENT BULBS HAVE A WARMER, FRIENDLIER GLOW - Unlike most LED style bulbs the incandescent bulbs included with this set of string lights have a classic, warm glow reminiscent of the popular vintage Edison-style bulb.
• Safety - UL Listed for indoor and outdoor use
• Reliable - If one bulb burns out the rest of the string remains lit (an extra fuse included in the plug housing)
• Total length: 25 feet

These lights are really cool - and I mean that both figuratively and literally. Even after burning for an hour, the incandescent bulbs were only slightly warm to the touch. And the bulb sockets are wired in parallel, which means if one bulb burns out, the others stay lit. There are dozens of ways the string lights could be used both indoors and outdoors wherever lights are needed. The most recent use that I saw was last Christmas at a Christmas tree lot, where they used light strings like this strung on poles to illuminate the area.

The bulbs are the G40 type with E12 bases. This is the same kind of bulb that many home chandeliers use and they're readily available online or in home improvement stores.

• AUTO ROTATING CERAMIC TOURMALINE BARREL The Xtava auto-rotating curling iron features an innovative automated bi-directional rotating control for maximum ease and comfort. Simply clip the hair on the barrel and let xtava do the rest with the touch of button, the ceramic tourmaline barrel generates constant and even heat creating long lasting perfect curls.
• HEAT CONTROL The Xtava auto-rotating curling iron features accurate heat control with 11 temperature stages between 210F-430F allowing styling versatility for all hair types. For fine hair, use low temperature for best results. Thick and wavy hair will require a higher temperature. The LCD display will ensure simple, accurate and convenient operation.
• 360 SWIVEL 8 FT. CORD With the Xtava Silk edition you will not need any extension cord or a nearby outlet thanks to its 8 ft. long power cord. Avoid getting your cable entangled while styling your hair, with the integrated 360 degree swivel system that will simply rotate as you work.
• SHUT-OFF FUNCTION Incorporates a convenient auto-shutoff function that will turn off the device when left unattended - never worry again after rushing out.
• TRAVEL FRIENDLY Universal dual Voltage that can adapt to your travel schedule and ensure you look just as perfect on the road as at home.

Before raving, I will go ahead and say that you should not doubt this curling iron!!! You will love it!!! The Xtava Auto Rotating Curler is the easiest curling iron you will ever use on your hair. It heats up to 430 degrees (this is area is for thick/course hair) in around 25 seconds. Trust me in saying, you will not regret your decision in buying this iron. It's worth every penny and you will want to show everybody!!! I have to say, once you figure out the fact that it doesn't grip tightly like a "regular" curling iron, the results are amazing. It takes me maybe 15 minutes to get curls like I've never been able to achieve on my own before (salons, yes - at home, no). It gets really hot like a flat iron, so it only has to be held in place a few seconds. You can get bigger curls using larger sections, smaller with smaller sections...The ends of your hair will "collect" in the bottom opening of the clamp piece, but that's how it sort of loops around to wind the end onto itself, so that's expected. Again, it takes a few tries to figure out how to place your hair, how quickly to wind it, and how much will fit on the iron, but it works beautifully once you get that nailed.

It has a basic on and off switch and a very long cord. You can get a very tight curl, beachy waves, or natural looking curls. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good quality curling iron, it is now one of my holy grail hair products.

Indian healing Clay Review

Indian Healing Clay - ($12.95)

• BENTONITE CLAY POWDER 16 Oz: PURE Indian Healing Clay from WYOMING, USA - Premium Quality - No Additives
• BENTONITE CLAY IS ONE OF THE BEST HEALING CLAYS: Excellent for Face Skin Care, Deep Skin Pore Cleansing, Detoxifying And Revitalization. Works on Oily and sensitive skin as well. Clay makes a fabulous facial mask, for shrinking pores, tightening and toning skin, removing impurities, and just making your skin look and feel great. As compared to Calcium Bentonite Clay, Sodium Bentonite has more detoxifying power.
• PREMIUM QUALITY THERAPEUTIC GRADE: Sodium Bentonite Clay has a electromagnetic properties making it very absorbent and helpful for drawing out Metals and Toxins. Clay baths and foot soaks draw toxins from the skin and through the pores

I use this mask to deep clean my pores around once a week, which it definitely does. This is in additional to cleanser/moisturizer 2x daily + exfoliating every few days so I have consistently good skin. I've been shelling out money on expensive facial products, lotions, derma roller, clairsonic, peels, and pretty much everything else in between. It's a pain to take off but worth the results. I suggest using it at night as it does make my face red for a little while after I wash it off.
