Epica Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush with Pivoting Head for Dogs

I'm sure y'all know by now I'm an animal rehabber and because of that I have 11 cats and 2 dogs that I feel in love with and could not give to another home. I love fluf so my dogs are ShihTzus with white hair. We keep them short but when it grows it gets mattey and nasty at times. The roll in everything so I can't keep them groomed properly. When I was chosen to review the Epica Self Cleaning Slicker Brush I was very excited..... I know but really it looked amazing and I think it will make it a lot easier to groom my babies. 

When I saw the self cleaning feature of this brush I was even more excited. I was so happy to think that I would not have a brush full of fur.  I love how the brush pivots it makes it go through my dogs hair so easily. Being Shih Tzus they have very thick fur. From some reading I learned their fur is very close to human hair textures. 

The pivot make it travel easily with my dog's curves. It does not pull the hair but glides right through it. I was very happy when I brushed out their fur without them screaming or flinching. 

Clean up is super easy just press the button, remove the hair let go of the button and the plate retracts and exposes the bristles again.

Michael Todd's Soniclear - Cleaner brushes means cleaner skin

I was super excited when I was chosen to review Michael Todd's Soniclear the World's First Antimicrobial Sonic Skin Cleansing System. I have used other cleaning systems so I wondered if they are all that different. Michael Todd's is unique before you use it because it starts off  a cleaner brush which in turn gives us cleaner skin. I is powerful, yet gentle enough it's good even for sensitive skin. . Removes makeup 6x better and cleanses 2x better than with hands alone.

Did you know stain and odor causing bacteria can grow on brushes when skin cells, makeup and moisture combine with bacteria that cling to bristles between cleanings?  I'm sure I should have know this before now but it was nothing I gave much thought to. I'm sure that's why it's recommended replacing brush heads and sponges often. The Soniclear is different because it protects itself from microbial contamination after it micro-massages away dirt and impurities.

Soniclear also helps improve skin tone, reduced breakouts, better absorption of skincare products and overall better appearance of skin. Each kit comes with 1 Soniclear Device, 1 Facial Brush Head with Cover, 1 Body Brush Head with Cover, 1 Charging Stand, and 1 Charging Cord.

The Soniclear has a brush for the face and body so that is also different from my other cleaning system. I like the cases on the brushes and they have holes in them to drain the excess water. I'm sure that helps a lot with keeping them cleaner.

The base is bigger than my other system as well which makes it easy to grip so holding it is easier as well. Of course I love the color since it is purple! The face brush is a nice size and feels amazing on my face. I like the second setting which is the middle speed. I feel it working but it's not vibrating my teeth out. Okay NONE of the nine speed settings are that strong but that is just my preference.

My face feels amazing after using the Soniclear for a week. I have used it with numerous different cleansing soaps and it does make most of them lather. There was only one that did not lather but I think it was lack of water more than a problem with the Soniclear.

Since I am always honest with y'all I have to say I didn't like it all on my body. It was very odd to me and felt strange. So I tried it twice and my soap didn't lather and I didn't feel clean. So I have only used it on my face. That doesn't mean you won't like it and I am perfectly happy with just using the system for my face.

Soniclear offers a Two Year Warranty means years of trouble free enjoyment. Most products do not come with more than a one year warranty so that means Michael Todd stands by the quality of their products.

Magna Blade

I'm sure a lot you feel the same way but I hate to shave. I know it doesn't make sense because it takes very little time and it's not hard to do but it's just an aggravation. I use disposable blades and it never fails when I need to use my razor it feels dull.  But I shave anyway because by that time I'm in the bath tub and I don't want to get out and dig for a new razor blade. 

Since I hate (or I'm just too lazy) changing the head of my razors so I was very excited to try the Magna Blade.  What is a Magna Blade is a revolutionary new product that extends the life and performance of the razor blade. It comes with a razor but is adaptable for use with other razor products.  

How it works is it uses the magnetic energy field embedded inside the MAGNAblade causes your blade to last from 2 x 6 times longer than without it. With the increased bonding power as a result of being exposed to MagnBlade’s magnetic energy field reduces the degree of instability of the molecules at the edge of the blade leaving a stronger high performance razor.

The first time I used this razor I recognized how much sharper it was compared to other razors I have used. I'm not sure how this works but it really does make the razor much sharper and easier to use. Even after a week or two it is still just as sharp. 

This is worth the investment not only are you helping save the landfills from being stockpiled with used razors, you are saving your legs from nicks, cuts, and unnecessary razor burn.  Oh plus your are not throwing away your money. I never really think about it but ever razor I toss is money in the garbage. 

There is a Velcro strip that attaches to the back so it can be hung or stuck to a flat surface so it doesn't walk away.

Key West Retinol Cream Review

I never remember using a Retinol Cream, of course I try a lot of skincare so I could be mistaken.  When I was chosen to review the Key West Retinol Cream for y'all I was very excited and curious to see how it works.

The reason antiaging creams are using Retinol is it is considered nature's miracle and one of the greatest discoveries in the history of skin care.  It works by by stimulating the regeneration of skin cells while exfoliating dead layers of skin.

Some of the benefits of using Retinol are it helps:

• Diminishes or removes age spots, hyper-pigmentation, sun damage and mor
• Unclogs and deep cleans pores
• Restores brighter, more youthful skin
• Boosts collagen production which:
• Firms, plumps and tightens your skin
• Eliminates fine lines and wrinkles
• Diminishes large pores

I have told y'all before about my extremely large pores so I as excited to use the cream for that reason, along with a few other reasons. It comes in a pump dispenser which I LOVE. Pumps are usually so much more sanitary and easy to use than jars.  This one is an airless pump so it does take a while before you can get the cream to come out but once it starts it comes out on the first pump.

I was a little taken back when I first saw the cream it is VERY thick and has an off-white/yellowish tint. The smell is not strong and reminds me of most skin care products. It takes VERY little and I mean very little when applying. If you apply too much it will take a lot of blending before it disappears. I have had many white lines on my face until  I made it all absorb. It does absorb quickly as long as you don't use too much.

I have used this under a few different types/brands of moisturizers with no problems. No peeling, flaking, pilling so it does dry invisible. The moisturizers can by applied very quickly after the cream, providing again, you don't use too much. I have also worn it under makeup and again no problems.

If you would like to try the Key West Retinol Cream they are offering Free Shipping! And there is a 100% Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee!

Bee Sili SUPER Silicone BBQ Grill Oven Gloves & Basting Brush

I thought the Bee Sili Super Silcone BBQ Grill Ocen Gloves would be a perfect addition to my kitchen. Our oven went out a few months ago and since we are looking to buy a house we have not purchased another one. Oh and not to mention we spent $500.00 last October on it so it was very upsetting.  We have a huge roaster that is just like an oven so that is what we have been using. The problem with that is the sides get VERY hot and I have watch not to burn myself when taking pans out.

I figured with these Heat resistant gloves it would protect my hands from getting burned from both the pan and the sides of the roaster. Win win for me! The gloves are cute - I'm sure they aren't going for cute but they are - with the little raised hearts on them. They are very sturdy they are not extremely flexible so they won't bend and make you drop the food.

I have used these to take hot plates out of the microwave and roaster oven. They work great they are comfortable to wear and easy to move in.  They are completely heat resistant I grabbed a glass bowl that was in the microwave for 20 minutes and didn't feel anything. I also used them to pull pans and aluminum foil out of the roaster. They are heat resistant up to 425 degrees F

I'm excited because they are also good to grab cold drinks & food from the ice chest or freezer. I can clean out all that stuck on ice without getting frost bite. The best part they can be tossed in the dishwasher for bacteria free cleaning. One size fits small, medium & large hands but not extra large hands (6 inches wide).

I was equally excited about the basting brush, sadly I was using paint brushes for basting.. They were clean, I promise! But the top eventually fell off and there was no repairing it. This REAL basting brush is very nice. The bristles are made of silicone and are very stretchy so I think it will wash very nicely. They also move freely so they should glide over food effortlessly.

I am very pleased with the gloves and basting brush. I'm very happy I added them to my kitchen gadgets/utensil collection. They will get a lot of use. And just think, we have not used them outside for the grill yet.  I can't think of an easier way to grab the corn on the cob!!

There are lots of other colors to choose from so you can get your set to match your kitchen or just your favorite color.

Glow Stick Bracelets - 100 Bracelets Review

My children love glow sticks and are begging for them now that they have a lot out for Halloween time. I bought them some to bring on Halloween night and they were super upset to find out they could not play with them before that night.

So when I got to review a pack of 100 Glow Stick Bracelets I was very excited. Not only for my girls but for myself too.

You see I saw the CUTEST craft on FaceBook that involved glow sticks and I wanted to try it.  When I saw them, I thought they were perfect, inexpensive decorations all you do is cut "eyes" in a toilet paper roll and put a glow stick in it. And you have creepy/cute glowing eyes any where you want to put them.

Kleenex box 

Once I opened the container for my children they all were so excited. I made them all bright, glowing bracelets which was super easy. All I had to do was crack the glow stick, shake, and pop on the little attachments. That is all it took, they loved the bracelets and wore them all day.

They have a VERY bright glow to them so they can easily be seen. As you can see from the picture above it is still a lot of light and they are shining. With more than 1 I easily made a necklace for them too. I saved some for Halloween night.

My children all had lots of fun with the glow bracelets. One did pop and leaked fluid but my children are rough. It was no big deal they got paper towels and wiped it up.

BEST Bra Extenders from Coco's Closet

Most of you can relate to a bra that's a little snug around the waistline. I have my favorite bras that I have purchased for years and when I recently purchased new ones in my size they were too snug. I thought it was because I gained weight but it turns out they changed the design. Then there was that time I gained weight and a bra size so I got rid of all my bras.  I remember getting home and slipping my bra off before I was all the way inside some of my bras were so uncomfortable.

If only I had the BEST Bra Extenders I could have kept all of my beautiful bras. They are great to give a little extension to your bra band no matter what's the reason you need extra wiggle room. They generously come in a 6 pack in three basic colors. They have three hooks so they can be easily used with 2 or 4 hooks bras. And there is 4 rows off hooks so it gives you a extra 3/4 " space in your bra band.

Whether you gain a little weight or you buy a new bra and it fits different these are the solution to the those problems. Super easy solution I should add. Putting them on is as easy as clasping your bra closed.

They are made from material so you could leave them on the bra and wash them with it or you can take them off and use them on different bras. But with 6 extenders in various colors, you have plenty to go around.

I used these on a strapless bra that I purchased. It SAID it was my size but I promise it was at least 2 sizes too small. I had to use 2 to make the strap long enough to fit and I've lost weight so I know the bra was marked the wrong size. Using two was very easy I just clasped them to each other and hooked my bra like normal. I was so happy because I was able to use that strapless -- My ONLY strapless bra --and i was comfortable all day. NO digging or anaconda feeling.

I wish I would have had a set of these a long time ago. I know I will get a lot of use out of these. I would recommend every woman have a set of these in their drawer because you never know when you will need them.

The Dean Sunglasses Review + Giveaway

I believe you can never have enough sunglasses. So when I was chosen to work with Optics ltd. for a review of the Dean ITALIAN ACETATE I was anxious to see what they would be like. Made for everyday. With the Dean their goal was to design sunglasses with the distinctive style and comfortable fit of a Lifestyle optic, but would stay in place like a great pair of Performance shades. The Dean are made of superior quality Italian acetate with stainless steel hinges and have 7-layer polarized lenses with UV400 protection.

The Dean sunglasses also came with an ultra-light microfiber bag to protect your new shades. The bag is a draw string and really thick so I think it can take the beating it will get in my purse.

I received a green and a blue pair. They are very cute and a simple square design so the style and color make them unisex. The material is a thick tough plastic that seems to be a better quality than most I buy in stores. The hinges open and closes very easily so I should be able to fold them often with no worries about the arm falling off.

The lenses block out light a lot, actually more than any other shades I have. The don't look dark when you see them but The one complaint I have is they are too big for my face.  Since they are too big they literally fall off when I bend down. Since I am unable to wear them comfortably I will pass them along to somebody who can.  This is not an unusual thing I have a hard time finding glasses that would fit me.

Now guess what... you have a chance to win your own pair of The Dean Sunglasses so you know what means here are the rules:

But a giveaways means I have to go over the rules so here they are:

AYL (Accessories Your Life) USB Charger/Sync Cable

Have you ever noticed phone charger cables go out much faster than you phone? I went through 2 or 3 before I traded in my phone and I don't believe I'm rough with them. I use them as anyone normally would and they get bent and stop working.

I was very excited to work with Accessories Your Life for a review of the USB Charge/Sync Cable for y'all. It's compatible with iPhone 5 and 6 series  plus some iPads and iPods.

I didn't know some waterproof cases like Lifeproof need to be taken out to use the 6' MFI Certified cable. This cable is a stylish and slim lightening connector design allows it to be used with most devices without removing the case.  I didn't realize how long 6 foot was until I took the cable out. Do you realize this charger is LONGER than me?? So that is a very long cable.

It's six feet in length so you don't have to toss the phone on the floor while it's charging. The length will probably make it easier to find a place to charge your phone as well. And if you're like me, it's easier to use your phone while it's charging.

The cable is the same gauge as the one that comes when you purchase a new phone so you feel safe using it. It comes with a 1 year warranty. Next time you are in the market for a new charger cable, this one is a good one to look into.

Youphoria Yoga Mat Givaway Review + Giveaway

I don't necessarily do yoga, I'm a little too clumsy for that but I love Pilates.  Also I use a yoga mat almost every time I exercise. It makes it easier for me to get on the floor and do sit up without irritating my asthma. It also gives me more cushion while I'm on the floor which makes my back more comfortable when I'm doing sit ups and my knees more comfortable if I'm doing lunges or squats.  So I was very happy to work with Youphoria Yoga and review their Yoga mat for y'all.

What I never thought about is a mat also stops your feet from sliding and it stabilizes your hands and feet during  a workout. With it's proprietary grip circles on the bottom it stops the mat from sliding even on the smoothest surface. 

The Youphoria Yoga Mat is a great grade, high density and pretty thick and made out of memory foam. This material will not wear like other mats. I really didn't know Yoga mats came in different grades until I was in the market for one. The higher the grade the thicker the mat. The thicker the mat the better support it gives. 

I was so very happy when I saw the mat came with a carry handle. this not only keeps makes the mat very portable, it makes the mat stay together while not in use. I can't tell you how many times I have had to re-roll my old mat so this was very exciting to me. 

As you can see the mat is a nice size in length as well as width so there is plenty of room to move around.  The mats come in different colors so if pink is not your thing don't worry!

It's ecofriendly and free of harsh chemicals and toxins so it's completely safe for you and your family. Another thing I want to mention is it is made to be odor free and it is. I have pulled out a smelly mat before so this is a good thing as well. 

 

Guess what?? Youphoria Yoga is offering one of you the chance to win a mat of your own! Awesome right!!??!!  Let me go over the rules:
