What it is:

Le Edge is a tool with a surgical grade stainless steel edge to remove pore-clogging debris, including dead skin cells, oils and residue anywhere on the body for smoother, brighter skin. There's no more need for loofahs, scrubs or chemicals. Simply pull the Le Edge tool across wet skin at a 45 degree angle for maximum exfoliation results. The non-slip handle in pink ensures you stay in control.

  • Younger skin -for cleansing and unclogging of pores. Mature skin -Exfoliating can help the skins cell turnover to behave in a more youthful manner, bringing renewed life to the skin. Males -For pre-shaving -Exfoliating is a necessary part of a mans skincare routine. Exfoliating the face helps expose the facial hair follicles giving a closer shave.

Where to find it: Le Edge Full body Exfoliator





What it did for me :

This tool looks like a razor, BUT IT'S NOT A RAZOR! It's just a stainless steel edge, I honestly don't think you can cut yourself because it's in NO WAY sharp! I know from reading reviews that your skin has to be wet for this to work- but when I just wet my skin , I don't see results. 

YOU NEED TO USE OIL WITH THIS. If you have used this product wet or dry and seen zero results, you NEED to introduce oil to the mix. I read somewhere that it's how the Romans and Greeks did it, they used an oil bath! What I do is completely clean my skin with my FOREO and a facial wash.I use it twice a week -once when I get out of the bath, and another time after I remove my makeup after a long day of work. I get my skin wet, put a tiny bit of Tea tree oil on, and then pull the Le Edge across my skin. At first all that will come up is loose and liquify oil, but with every subsequent pull, the residue will become thicker, and THAT'S the skin debris everyone talks about. I almost can't believe Le Edge doesn't mention that you NEED OIL to make this work. I saw so many reviews where people complained it did nothing and it acted more like a squeegee. That's exactly how I felt about it until I started using it with oil. So I continue along dragging and dragging, getting more and more skin. It doesn't hurt but it does leave my skin red just from the pressure. My textured skin looks a bit better after trying this for a month, it sure does feel VERY smooth!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this product, I was intrigued when I first read about it. I received this item heavily discounted in exchange for an honest review. I'm glad I got to try this because it left me pleasantly surprised and with smoother skin! This product is  based off of an ancient Greek and Roman beauty tool called a strigil which was basically a sharp edge (NOT a razor though, more like a butter knife) dragged along the skin to remove dead skin and debris. I haven't tried this on my body yet, only my face - I will try it on my legs next!

 REMEMBER TO USE THE OIL!

6. Everbellus Waist Corsets are designed to be extremely versatile. Perfect for waist training, using in the gym, daily wear or other formal occasions. 


where to find it : Everbellus Breathable Latex Waist Trainer

My views on it :
This arrived quicker than expected, neatly/securely packaged. I ordered a Large and it fit comfy, I could even use it on the second straps if I wanted to. I'm generally a size 12-14 US I was able to adjust it to fit tight like it should, but it made me look boxy instead of giving me an hourglass figure. My belly didn't really go in...so the bottom half of my belly was protruding out of it. I am wider frame and have a longer torso than some people; so if you have a long torso I wouldn't suggest buying this unless you just need ALITTLE support / you don't have bulges. I could sit and stand with it, the material is breathable so I do think I could wear it all day. However, it is sort of bulky under your clothes so I would use it mainly to work out in conjunction with another waist trainer I have since it doesn't fit my whole torso. IT ALSO MADE ME LOOK LIKE A BOX, instead of showing off my curves like other waist trainers do. I think this waist trainer is a great concept, but I wish they would adjust some things to make it a great product for different body types. Like offer an option for people with longer torsos would really make this an awesome product.
I received this product for free or at a discounted price in exchange for product testing and review; opinions and views are 100% my own. #corset

Where to find it:Infused Water Pitcher on Amazon




This Infused Water pitcher has really change my lifestyle into being a healthier person! I know this sounds bad, but I don't like drinking water. Flavored water? YES! I've been using this pitcher non stop this summer. My favorite kind of drink to make is Iced Tea with lime or lemons in the fruit cylinder for more flavor.

This pitcher is about 10 inches in height and 19 in diameter, which is actually generous in size. Consider the height though that it will fit in your fridge (in case you have smaller fridge).
The product came with 2 cylinder infusers:
1) Fruit infuser can be filled with cut-up fruits.
2) Ice infuser which allows you to have frozen infused content (ike ice) without watering down your drink.
The pitcher has a cover where you can lock both either infuser securely with a simple twist.

You can easily clean this pitcher by hand. The material seems durable, sturdy, beautiful and easy to handle. I would certainly recommend this! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to try this Infused Water Pitcher at a discounted rate in exchange for my product review/ honest feedback.

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!
