Rain Africa Product Review

Do you love spa products?  Do you love handmade and fair trade products?  Then we have found an awesome company for you.  Rain has a wide range of handmade bath and body products that you will just fall in love with.  Almost everything from the products themselves to the great packaging they come in is hand made in Africa.  They are bringing jobs to people in need and brining you some of the wild harvested African oils you will not get from anyone else.  For centuries African tribal healers have been using medicinal plants from Africa’s indigenous plants and Rain has incorporated these into their products.

Old fashion “chocolate box of soaps”

This box comes with six individually wrapped soaps for the hands and body.  Each box is different you never know which scents you will get Eucalyptus, citruses, mint, marula and rooibos (sweet smell), and water lily.  It also comes in this hand crafted box that will make a perfect keepsake.

Saffron Tangerine koi fish

I could not believe the quality and the craftsman’s ship that went into this soap.  It is just beautiful. Koi are considered good luck for your house. With a beautiful citrus scent this is the perfect soap for any bathroom in your house.  I already have a list in my head of people who would go nuts for this Koi fish.

Savannah cream

This cream is wonderful, the scent is like being at a very expensive spa.  The cream its self just soaked right into my skin. If you area is anything like mine make sure to stock up, my skin gets so dry in the winter this cream will be a life saver.  “A shea butter based moisturizer for hands and body, this luxurious cream is a perfect gift for others or for self. It is fragranced with essential oils, and the top notes are grapefruit and bergamot, giving it an uplifting and refreshing scent. ”

Warm milk and honey lip balm

You all know I cannot pass up a wonderful lip balm and this one is just amazing.  It left my lips not only moisturized but shinny and lasted for a very long time.  “Using the great and healing properties found in our Bee Essentials line, it contains coconut and sweet almond oil, beeswax to seal in the moisture, and shea butter.”

Weather you buy one of these for yourself or the set to make an amazing Holiday Gift Basket for that special person you can no go wrong with Rain. If you are like me and love giving baskets for the holidays this is a fantastic way to go.  Head down to your local dollar store and pick up a few baskets.  Then head to Rain and start shopping you will give them a basket they love .  They also have a wide range of gift sets if you are looking for a few great items put together for you.  They have a wide range of products that are all fantastic.  I have also had the chance to try their bath salts and I suggest you throw a few of those in your basket you will thank me for that later.   I am in love with Rain products and would recommend them to everyone. If you are in New York make sure to head to their store on West 49th Street.  It is truly a beautiful store.

Udderly Smooth

                                                          Udderly Smooth Review


    As you all know I am the lotion queen I have about 20 different ones and use them daily for most of them they smelled good but nothing was helping my dry skin.  This time of year is so hard on my skin.  I get so dried out I start to itch and then of course I break the skin on my legs from all the scratching.  It is miserable.  I cannot believe how dry my skin got this year.  When I got the chance to try out Udderly Smooth I was so excited. This cream did wonders for my skin after just the first use.  I will be using this one for years to come.  I could not believe how fast and how well it worked.  I am hooked.

The foot cream rocked.  It is a Shea butter cream that is non greasy.  This will help even out your skin and help cracked and dry feet.  I loved using this every night.  My feet look 10 years younger in just a few days.

The hand creams are perfect size to keep in my purse and bring with me on the go.

The hat is just too cute and perfect to keep the sun out of my eyes when I am working in the yard.

The thicker body cream I use every day after my bath.  I love love love this pump top I hate when I have to stick my hands in a jar I get so much lotion stuck under my nails.

I use this one for an all day body cream it’s a little lighter and I love the feel and smell.

These little packets are just too cute I threw a few in my makeup bag so I will never be without them.

I love Udderly smooth and would suggest them to everyone.  My skin is feeling and looking better than it has in weeks I am in LOVE. They would make a perfect holiday gift for that special someone on your list this year.

                          Tressa Limited Edition Shampoo & Conditioner Quenching


   For the last few weeks my hair has been dull and life less.  I don’t know whether it’s the weather change or just time to re dye my hair.  When I got the chance to try this Clarifying, Replenishing, and Volume shampoo and conditioner I was jumping for joy.  This sounded exactly what my hair needed for a pick me up.  When it first came of course the first thing I noticed was how cute this holiday item was.   The shampoo and conditioner themselves had a very sleek design, but the Santa pants carry case made this even better.  For a holiday gift it is already wrapped and ready to go.  You could even hang these from the tree how cute is that?

The shampoo and conditioner had a very soft and clean smell to it, it was very refreshing.  The shampoo lathered fantastic and rinsed out quickly.   The conditioner had the same soft clean smell and it was a pretty thick conditioner.  I left it on for about 3 minutes then rinsed out.  My hair was already so much better.  I could brush right threw my damp hair and it was not tangled at all.  My hair is usually a rat’s nest after I wash it.

This shampoo and conditioner was fantastic I would not only recommend it because of the adorable Santa pants but because it actually does wonders for your hair.  My hair was soft shinny and full of life again after using this set.  I was truly impressed.   Beauty Care Choices carry’s a wide range of beauty products.  They even carry a ton of minis you can make sure to get your favorite big one for the house and your minis for your stocking stuffers this holiday season.

Skinn Cosmetics Review/Giveaway

Collagensis Daily Defense Sunscreen

Do you use a sunscreen and a serum every day did you know you could use one to do both. If you don’t use both you really should. Why not fight wrinkles in two ways? A good sunscreen is something you should be using every day no matter what, you don’t want the sun aging your skin and leaving you looking like an old leather couch. Many people hope to get something like this in a beauty box for this reason. The Anti-Aging Antioxidant is something you need to help repair what you have already done and help prevent future aging, when I got the chance to try this one out I was in seventh heaven. I use both daily and it’s nice to have it all in one place. It really does save me quite a bit of time by just using one less product a day. I keep this with my makeup and it has become part of my regular routine.

This was a very light cream that just soaked right into my face. It did not leave me feeling greasy at all and my makeup went on very smooth over it. It not only helps protect me from the UV rays but has made a difference in the way my skin feels and looks. You use this one on your face and neck I must stress don’t forget your neck it does not matter how fantastic your face looks if you neck looks 20 years older. We all want to look and feel younger and this is a great one to add to your routine to help with both. When you look younger you feel younger and more confident. Skinn Cosmetics carries a wide range of products that will be great for your every day needs or any special needs you have.

Sun Bum

Sun Bum Sun block review

A lot of people remember the sun block on the hot and sunny days, but many forget that it is needed just as much on the cloudy days or in my case when you are playing out in the snow.   You get just as much sun on these days if not more.  If anyone has ever been snowboarding on a cold yet sunny day they know what I mean.  You get the sun burn and the cold burn all at the same time and it will wreak havoc on your skin.  Luckily for us Sun Bum is here to help.  With a wide range of products you can protect your skin from the cancer causing rays and make sure you day is just filled with fun and not burns.  If you did happen to burn a little don’t worry they have a product for that too.  Their after sun lotion is perfect for these days and really gives you a cooling feeling when you put it on.

One of my favorite products that they had was the SPF 30 for your face.  I Love the container it came in.  Not only is it cute with a great design (all the guys were trying to take this from me) but is also very portable.  I can throw this in my beach bag in the summer or in my jacket pocket for snowboarding and have it with me all the time.  My son even let me use it on him and he usually runs away from the spray ones.  Under my eye’s is where burns most on me having this face stick had really helped me it is very easy to use and easy to remember.  I keep one with my makeup and put it on in the morning as I am getting ready.

They have everything from sun block to after sun lotion to Chap Stick and more.  They have all different SPF’s and even some great fun products like footballs and t shirts.  If you can think of it they most likely have it for sale on their site.  Everything you need for a fun day out. I love sun bum and have made it part of my everyday routine in the summer and winter.

Funzee  Pajamas Review

Let me start this review with “how cute are these”.  I was so excited when they agreed to a review of their awesome Pajamas.  I cannot tell you how many times I have been with friends and family shopping for our little ones and they said “why don’t they make pajamas like these for me”.  Well guess what all they do and we have found them for you.

They have so many cute designs even ones so you are your other can match.  I know I will have to get a few more of these for winter time I am hoping I can just wear these all winter and be warm and snuggly.  They are 100% cotton or 100% polar fleece depending on which one you buy of course.   Wash these in cold water and hang to dry.   They have some great designs and even some costume designs.  If you are trick or treating in the freezing cold this year make sure to check out the costume ones.

It even has pockets.

Every year we get new pajamas from Santa Clause on Christmas Eve and this year I am totally asking for a pair of these comfy pajamas.  These will make an awesome holiday present for everyone on your list this year.  With the matching socks they are way too cute.  You can’t go wrong with any of their funzee designs.  They have a wide range of designs, ones that are footed ones with butt flaps, ones for spring and ones for winter, plus a whole lot more all in cute and unique designs.

Does your purse help you say who you are?  If not it really should.  This is an accessory that goes with you everywhere and everyone will see.  Robert Matthew has one of the most beautiful purse and wallet collection out there.  The creativity and care that goes into all their designs is just astounding.   I love showing off my mood and my style with my purse there is so much that your purse can say about you before you even meet the person.  Plus I have gotten so many compliments on this purse I love knowing I have a beautiful purse everyone wants.

The Stella Satchel tote is not only beautiful it is very functional.  It has the zipper lock and the cross over lock.  This is going to be perfect for traveling to New York this week.  I know my stuff is safe and secure but it looks fantastic.  It has the handles for carrying or you can use the shoulder strap.   Inside there is 5 different pockets 2 of them are zippered, perfect to make sure you can get all your stuff quick and easy without a huge mess inside.

Old Wives Tail

Old Wives Tail Hair Oil review

I got the chance to try out this fantastic Jojoba & Clove Organic hair Oil treatment and I loved it.  When you use this one you want to saturate your wet hair with it one hour before you wash it.  Just put in and let it sit.  It had an earthy sweet smell.  My husband told me I smelled like Christmas lol.  I loved the fact that after I put it in my hair and washed my hands my hands not only smelled fantastic but they were so soft.   I was a little worried about washing it out with all that oil in my hair but it really was not a problem.  I shampooed twice and it was completely out.  I used my conditioner just on my ends and when my hair dried it was light and bouncy and has a ton of shine.

This oil treatment uses certified organic ingredients only, paraben free, sulfate free, gluten free, vegan & vegetarian, no animal testing.  I love that they do not test on animals that is really one of my pet peeves why test on an animal do you not trust your product. (JMO). This hair treatment is awesome if you have damaged hair it will help bring it back to life if you hair is really bad use it up to twice a week to help.  Old Wives Tai has a whole line of fantastic products from hair oil to hair masks.  So matter what you concern you are sure to find a solution with them.  Want even better news free shipping worldwide on all orders you can beat that.  This is a fantastic product that I would recommend to everyone.

No styling just air dried Look at the shine.

Blue Green Algae Toner Review + Giveaway

I love a good toner with my combo skin you have to have a good toner to make sure your face is not always doing crazy stuff. Lol   I could not believe the smell of this toner when I got it.  You know when you go get a facial and they use all those fantastic clean smelling products that just make you face feel fresh in seconds well this is it.  I was amazed not only did this toner leave my face feeling fresh and clean but it smelled fantastic.

A good toner should not only clean the outside of your skin but really get into the pours and clean everywhere.  This one you could feel it doing its job and you will really be able to tell the difference in just a few day of using it

This toner will not sting or over dry your face.  It worked perfect with my combo skin so I can attest that it is good for all skin types.  I did not have any reaction at all just a clean and very nice smelling face.  Finding a good toner sometimes can be very difficult they are either too strong or not strong enough.  This was perfect no stinging no drying out and no oily greasy feeling.  This was a 97% organic product.  I loved this toner and would recommend it to everyone.
