Michael Todd Soniclear Review


I'm such a skin care junkie as well as a device junkie! I think I love all things skin because my age is increasing and I'm not getting any younger. It's true , we are always looking for the fountain of youth. I will be reviewing the Michael Todd Soniclear Device on my Channel. This device is more for cleansing and exfoliating but I prefer to use it for my body than my face. I received this item in exchange for my honest review but all opinions are 100% my own.

6. Repeat 3 times/week


What it did for me:


 Unfortunately, I had a reaction to this mask - after a couple of seconds of wearing it my face began to itch. Legit , right after I took the pictures -it was starting to itch a bit during the pictures but nothing to strong UNTIL a few moments after. It has plant DNA which could be derived from Roses. In the past years I've acquired some sensitivity/allergies to products that contain rose extracts. Even though the components doesn't say it's specifically rose, it sort of smells like it. I will say that This mask works because after giving it to my mom and after she finished using it, her skin was noticeably softer, plumper, and smelled great.   It does do an excellent job at tightening fine lines and reducing fine lines. I put it on her in the evening, so this was refreshing to use because part of the application involves putting it in the fridge ahead of time. However, given the name - terms used like “24K” and “Gold”, I expected maybe a few teeny pieces of gold or gold foil in this, but there are no iridescent elements in the mask. It just looks like a gold color. While I appreciated the firmly sealed packaging, I did not anticipate the waterfall of rose water all down my pjs when I opened the package. Seemed excessive, but now I know it’s better to use this when your naked  in your bathroom OR if you're really careful only to open the top of the package instead of the whole thing LOL. The mask itself felt weird like a slab of skin. While the consistency felt nice and cooling on my face, it was just as fragile and  wholes ripped when I tried to adjust it on my face, as well as when I did it on my Mother's face.  I had to lay down to get it to rest evenly on my face. I was given a discount in return for my honest review.

What I think about this Skirt?

I purchased an XL! I'm a size 12-14 and I'm 5'3. I got it in black, style KK268. I'm so happy I love...and I mean really love this skirt I think it's so professional  and trendy at the same time. It makes you look slim and it doesn't accentuate any problem areas, which is important to me because I'm a little bit on the chunkier side. I think it's really well made and I wear it to work and I wear it out; what I'm trying to say is that you can use it for many occasions. I got this for review but I'm super picky with clothes so I'm pleasantly surprised I loved this skirt so much!

Summer all year round in FLORIDA!


Who doesn't enjoy a cool, refreshing Popsicle on a hot summer's day? The funny thing is , even though we are in "Fall time" Florida tends to be "summer" all year round! I really loved this and I reached out to the company and I'm so glad I got to try this product out in exchange for y review! So my recipe video was a fail....BUT NOT TO WORRY... I will be posting some soon. My son and I are really digging  some Watermelon Pops! I will post the link to the recipe (not my own) Yummy Watermelon Pops for those of you who would like to try before I'm able to post the video! This is a great item because some store bought ice pops are made with high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, and other unhealthy ingredients. Now we can make our own using healthier ingredients.

In this kit there are 6 professional Popsicle makers that come with a stable stand, funnel, and cleaning brush. The stand keeps the pops upright so that they don't tip over. You can also remove one Popsicle at a time, and the handles have built in sticks and drip guards. The Popsicle makers are generous size, and are easy to clean. I like how they are BPA Free, dishwasher safe, and FDA approved.

There are recipes that come with the purchase of the Popsicle makers, and they are really nice. I do like to come up with my own recipes and ingredients, and the possibilities are endless. I also LOVE PINTEREST ! That's where I found the Yummy Watermelon Pops!! You can make frozen treats using different liquids or mix it in with the fruit #Lebice

How to sleep better by using a Sleeping Mask



I generally don't like to sleep with things on my head, mouth or face but I will say that this sleeping mask is so comfortable. What makes it different from other sleeping masks is the material and the face that it fits your face. The eyes don't feel squish because it's a little raised the part where the eye rests. Even though it's raised, sunlight doesn't come in through the mask. It's so comfortable I barely feel it when I sleep , so I don't remove it! What I do when I'm  having trouble sleeping it working out a couple hours before taking a shower and sniffing some Lavender essential oil to help calm me before wearing these and going to sleep blissfully. I would recommend this mask in a heart beat.

    Slim way Aesthetics collection Update

    The second oil I tried was SlimWay from the Aesthetics Collection. The idea behind the slimway blend is to aid in digestion, boost metabolism and suppress appetite. There is a mix of grapefruit, fennel and lemon oils just to name a few. 

    This is the second bottle I received, for some reason I thought it was going to be different from the other bottle because they are now marketing it as a "Synergy" oil instead of an essential oil. When it's a synergy oil it means it's a combination or blend of different oils that are suppose to work together in order to satisfy a certain need, as opposed to an essential oil which is made up primarily of a specific type of oil. 

    Like I've said before, it doesn't really curb my appetite but it does help me from time to time. It's not meant to be ingested but when I put this on my stomach, or anywhere on my body it helps me pee more! It also sometimes calms my anxiety when I want to eat but it doesn't always. I do like the smell of this blend. Like with everything you need to have a weightless regime and a workout regime for this item to work. If not you won't see results.

    Beauty Blender Dupe? Neon Green Applicator Makeup Blender Sponge!

                                            

    Where to find: Neon Green Sponge

    What it is:


    • PERFECT ABSORPTION, LESS WASTE - Some makeup sponges waste makeup by absorbing too much of it into the sponge. We have tested and created ours with the perfect density to help prevent wasting your makeup and having to wash it down the drain. Keep your makeup on your face and not in the sponge.
    • EXTREMELY SOFT TOUCH - We wanted to ensure that when our makeup sponge enables you to have a relaxing and enjoyable experience similar to that of a soft breeze touching your beautiful face.
    • CONTOURS HARD TO REACH SPOTS - Lets face it now all makeup sponges are built alike. Ours for example are quality controlled to ensure even the smallest defect in shape is eliminated from seeing daylight. With this type of quality you will expect that the shape of this sponge will reach the hard to blend spaces of your face while creating a perfect balance when used evenly.
    • REUSABLE & EASY TO CLEAN - Why would anyone want to create more waste then what is necessary. We have designed our makeup sponge so it can be washed, gently squeezed to dry and used again.
    • TRAVEL CASE INCLUDED - Not everyone has all day to stay at home and its nice to bring the things in life that make a difference when freshening up. So each of our makeup sponges includes a plastic travel case so it can be stored in while not in use. Most sponges we have found are more likely to deteorate over time when exposed to certain elements outside their package. So we have created a unique travel pack that will allow you to put your makeup sponge in your purse or to jet set to your next destination with out worrying about it touching things it should not.

    My opinion :


    I really love this sponge. I think I've spent more money trying to find a similar sponge to the beauty blender. I've tried them all and found that the Real Techniques sponge was the only one I like other than the original Beauty blender.....until now! I got mine in my favorite color : green. It comes in little travel case to protect it on the go. This way it doesn't get ruined by anything else and the lid of the case even has small vent holes in it so you can put your sponge in it right away to dry and not worry about it getting mold/mildew as things that stay wet can without fresh air. I recently received this product at a discount to review it. I was very intrigued but skeptical of this sponge because I've tried so many that claim to be a "dupe" for the original Beauty Blender. This sponge is the only one I've tried that is SIMILAR to the Beauty Blender. It is soft like the beauty blender and expands like the beauty blender. Not only that, it provides a flawless application of my foundation, concealer and even powder. This sponge does not leave any streaks either! It really helps you get very nice even coverage. I thoroughly enjoy and prefer to use this sponge and definitely recommend it!
    I believe this could be a dupe for the more expensive, highly popular Beauty Blender that every beauty guru raves about; this sponge is right on par with it, but for less money - so I definitely recommend it!

    Below is the green one right next to the original pink BB and the other picture there are other sponges I've tried...my dog ate my real techniques one so it didn't make it to the picture hahaha
