where to find it: Brieftons Vertigo Spiralizer

What it did for me:I've been trying to eat more vegetables and I have used this a few times so far ; I must say I really like it . Makes perfect veggie replacements for spaghetti dishes if you're trying to watch your carbs. The blade knob is a little tough to turn, but works. The spirals it makes are smooth and come out easily into the holder underneath. It has helped me be more healthy because now I can replace a lot of foods with vegetable options and it's super easy to clean. I've tried other Spiralizers before (Purchased at Publix/Bath and Beyond/Macys) and I've gifted these because they were so much more difficult to use and I rarely did use them. I didn't know what to expect with this Spiralizer because I received this product at a discounted price in order to give an honest review and I'm so glad I got it because it really has changed my lifestyle to a healthier one. My family and I are grateful! The only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5 is because It was harder for me to use it with certain vegetables but I will continue to try different techniques. However, it was with the skinnier vegetables that it took more time but it's not a big deal - once I get a hang of it - it will be a 5 star product!

Swissvita Facial Cleanser



                                            



What it is/claims: 


This facial cleanser provides many benefits to your skin through:
  • Removing buildup of dirt, bacteria, pollutants, viruses, dirt, and even old/dead skin cells.
  • Boosting hydration. Dehydrated skin looks and feels rough and wrinkled. Clean skin enables sufficient water and product retention.
  • Clearing pores to prevent dirt buildup and also decreases the chance of breakouts.
  • Minimizing pore size.
  • Softening the appearance of wrinkles.
  • Protecting skin from pollution such as heavy metals and smoke.



What it did for me: 

This facial cleanser works amazingly! I did not really know what to fully expect before trying this because I had never heard of this company before but since I was offered a discount promo code to test it out and then leave an honest review , I felt like I wouldn't be taking much of a risk. I am glad that I took the chance on this facial cleanser! It's really changed my skin, I get compliments all the time! It comes in a white aluminum tube and is a white cream. It takes just a little bit, mixed with water to create a nice frothy foam. It has no parabens, no fragrance and it's dye free. It leaves my skin feeling very soft and fresh. I have been using it for a month and  the improvement in my skin is clear, both in the way it feels and physically. It is noticeably softer and smoother. I also believe my pores appear smaller. I had severe acne as a teen that left me with enlarged pores and scaring.  My skin is combo and I feel like this has helped me in so many different ways by cleaning my impurities and unclogging my pores! I would recommend this product in a heart beat! 


Much love,

Sport it | Massage Stick









    This truly isn't like other massage sticks I've owned! This thing is solid! This is the only massage stick I have come across that doesn’t have a plastic core. The wand of this massage stick is solid metal. I also love the handles on this stick because they are a thick plastic with rubber grips  so the grip feels more solid and sturdy in my hands. It really has helped me with the muscle aches that come to a person who is beginning to work out (myself.) I would really recommend this product; I received this item heavily discounted in exchange for my honest review. 


I will write more about my diet later in the day. I will also be updating you via the blog or my YT channel! 


New York Biology | Lavendar Essantial Oil First Look





About the Product

  • 100% PURE, NATURAL, & AUTHENTIC Kashmir Lavender Essential Oil steam distilled without any fillers or additives.
  • HIGHEST QUALITY GRADE & PREMIUM QUALITY originating from India and Bottled in the US
  • Comes with a dropper and a cap 
How to Use Lavender Oil 
- Add a few drops of Lavender to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet for a restful night's sleep. 
- Keep a bottle of Lavender on hand for minor and occasional skin irritations. 
- Freshen your linen closet, mattress, car, or the air by combining Lavender with water in a spray bottle.

- Lavender is said to help you concentrate and think clearly when used aromatically throughout the home. 
- Diffuse pure lavender oil in the air as needed to manage mood.


My opinion: 

The New York Biology essential oils come with plastic seal in an amber bottle, which helps to prevent oxidation, has a screw-on cap, and a glass dropper, which allows for more precision. The bottle arrived safely and there weren't any issues with the delivery. 

I love that New York Biology includes the scientific name of the plant used, the type of distillation and where the source of the oil is from.
I've been using mine in the diffuser as well - I like diffusing lavender and tea tree for a relaxing blend. I also like to use this one as fragrance and I  love to use it when I'm feeling a little anxious I will just put a drop of this and it helps relax me. These are so affordable that they're great for gifts as well! I got this product heavily discounted in exchange for my honest review, I really do love this oil!

ZOOSHOO | Cute to the Core Sneaker Pom Poms


What they are:

These are CUTE TO THE CORE not J.Adams but my dog destroyed the box so thats why I used that white box.

  • These shoes are made of Synthetic material and have a Fluffy adorable pom pom on top. 
  •  Made of high quality satin fabric that is designed to facilitate all day wear.
  •  These sneakers feature a comfortable, padded insole and a sturdy, flexible outsole which is helpful to walking comfortable.



How I feel about them:

These are a fun pair of sneakers , they are cute and bold. 

I got the black ones. I wear a size 8 and ordered an 8 but i have wide feet.
I find it difficult to slip these shoes on. It is difficult to get my heal past the upper heal collar. These are shoes I need to use a shoe horn to put on and once they are on, they are perfect. Had I ordered a 9 they would have been too long. Overall, I think the shoes are comfortable and there is nothing wrong with them.  All I would say is use a shoe horn if you have a bit of trouble slipping them on so that you don’t wear  the shoe down.
I received this item heavily discounted for my honest review. I don't mind Questions and comments , I will try to answer as soon as I can.

ZOOSHOO Haul | Strappy High Box Heel

                                       

What they are: 

I love that they're 100% VEGAN MATERIAL and a timeless design that can compliment any wardrobe. The heel is approx. 3.75" and this shoe fits true to size.
  • THE PERFECT SHOE: This stunning pair of heels is ideal for weddings, parties and every other special occasion that calls for dressy, upscale shoes! These Ankle Strap High Heels are the perfect pair to add a few inches to your frame, elongate your legs and rock every dress, denim jean, or maxi with ease!
  • STYLISH ANKLE STRAP FOR A SECURE FIT: Featuring a cute strap that hugs your ankle for custom support and provides a comfort throughout wear. Your feet will not slip, turn or move out of place while wearing these gorgeous heels!
  • COMFORT IN EVERY STEP: Heeled shoes don't have to feature thick, heavy soles to be comfortable or safe to wear! This pair is perfectly designed for steady steps, as it features a single, slim sole that ideally balances the heel height with the rest of the sleek shoe design.

Where to find them: J.Adams Strappy High Box Heel on Amazon




How I feel about them:

I like that they're Vegan because they're made with eco conscious material. All J.Adams shoes are made wonderfully, and they're some of my favorite styles. They're so trendy and unbelievably gorgeous - they really make any outfit 100 times better. I think these heels are very beautiful in nude. The problem is with ME, I rarely -IF EVER- wear a heel that tall. I have smaller, wide feet - but I think these shoes are true to size. If I would've gotten an 8.5 the shoe wouldn't have fit me. I can't wear them for too long but they're still pretty comfortable for a high heel, so if you're used to wearing heels these shoes are going to be extremely comfortable. I could balance myself nicely wearing these and I walked well in them, I just don't wear heels so I couldn't wear them for long. I haven't worn heels in 3 years because I got pregnant and then I had my son. Even in formal occasions, I now wear a smaller heel. However, I would've worn these with out a problem back in the day ;)

I love Zooshoo, they really do offer great affordable shoes! I received these shoes at a discounted price for an honest review. The opinions I share are my own. I don't think you'll be disappointed with these shoes!












Swissvita Dark Spot Corrector with AC-11 - Anti Spot Serum - Dark Spot, Age Spot and Acne Spot Remover

                                       

What it is :

This is a Dark Spot, Age Spot and Acne Spot Remover for a Flawless and Brilliant Skin -  it contains 0.5 o.z./ 15g. Where to find it :Amazon Swissvita Dark Spot Corrector

What it claims:

  Swissvita Dark Spot Corrector with AC-11® is in serum form, it is absorbed by the skin much faster. It is concentrated, water-based, lightweight  its meant to give you brighter skin. 
It has an effective ingredient, AC-11® which helps with age spots and uneven skin tone.  AC-11® is derived from a natural herb from the Amazon rainforest that helps you achieve soft, supple, and youthful-looking skin day after day.
It is paraben-free and doesn't cause any irritation, so it should be perfect for people with sensitive skin. It's also alcohol-free and shouldn't leave your skin dry after use.

What it did for me:

There is something in this that my skin doesn't agree with. It made me really uncontrollably itchy; the only reason I noticed it was this specific product is because I stopped using it (since it was the new addition to my routine) and my skin improved in two days. The reason this is getting 4 stars instead of 2 or 3 is because it actually is helping my mother with her dark spots. Unfortunately, my skin didn't like it. Thats why I think skin care is important to try because you never know what might or might not work for your skin.

I use their other products like the Swissvita cleanser, eye cream and another all over face serum without a problem. I actually REALLY LOVE THE BRAND. This was the only product my skin didn't agree with. I received my #Swissvita dark spot corrector to review in exchange for my honest opinion.
