The Best Car Seat Covers I have Owned, Devoted Doggy Premium Quilted Front Seat Covers for Pets - Waterproof Material.

Purchasing what I thought was an amazing deal on a seat cover set that were on sale at pet smart. The easy to install printed on the box sold me, later that night the seat covers turned out to be the worst purchase ever, and literally a nightmare and to make matters worse I bought a set!

I was so excited when Devoted Doggy asked me to try out and review the back seat cover at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest opinion. And so were our 2 dogs as they love car rides.

I really was shocked when I installed the seat cover that it literally took me seconds, they fit our Acura TSX perfect, I love that they have strayed away from the usual fitted sheet design that you find in major stores. They also are the most durable seat covers I have used; our Bully is still a puppy and his nails easily catch the perforated leather on the seat from the seat vents.

I was excited that they actually offer the covers in black just like car interior, no one wants to drive a car around with something that is brightly colored and looks like a tent on your seat. Or have a set of mismatched colors.

Other seat covers are no match for a large dog, you have to have the padding and quilting or your seats are still going to wear down and lose shape.

This is an amazing designed seat cover and actually protects your seats from your furry friend’s nails. It also has become a favorite of our dogs because Summer months make the leather super-hot, they don’t have to sit on a towel, or my jacket until the seats cool off no longer. They get in sprawl out and enjoy the AC on full blast trying to cool off my seat, I only purchased 1 front to make sure it was going to fit first.

I recently found what I thought was an amazing deal on seat covers that were on sale at pet smart. The easy to install printed on the box sold me, later that night the seat covers turned out to be the worst purchase ever, and literally a major pain; 45 minutes of pain!

The end result was not at all what the box looked like, to make the cover fit I had to install it upside down and only on the seat not the entire seat as advertised.
I was so excited when Devoted Doggy asked me to try out and review the seat covers at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest opinion. And so were our 2 dogs as they love car rides.

I really was shocked when I installed the seat cover that it literally took me minutes, they fit our Acura TSX well, I love that they have strayed away from the usual fitted sheet design that you find in major stores. They also are the most durable seat covers I have used; our Bully is still a puppy and his nails easily catch the perforated leather on the seat from the seat vents.

I was happy that they offer the covers in black just like car interior, no one wants to drive a car around with something that is brightly colored and looks like a tent on your seat. Or have a set of mismatched colors. Other seat covers are no match for a large dog, you have to have the padding and quilting or your seats are still going to wear down and lose shape.

I definitely recommend this brand and wish that I would have found them a month earlier before wasting over $100 of SEAT TARPS at pet smart.

I literally spent more time on the walk out to the car from the house than installing this. It is nice to have a cover that is easily installed, and can be taken down just as easy. We recently traded a car in just because the seat leather was too soft, it was terrible. Jeans with button pockets, wallets, practically anything left marks. Even if I did not own dogs, I would have purchased this to keep the seats in new condition in the car.

Moroccan "Beldi" Black Soap with precious Argan Oil; For A Luxury Shower.

Moroccan Black Soap is a wondrous body treatment. It is rich in minerals helping clean and detoxify your skin while leaving an extraordinary smooth and silky finish. So why would one not want to use a soap that is actually amazing for you?

Enjoy a total body exfoliation with the unique Kessa exfoliating glove to remove all impurities from your skin. Also not to mention SHHH.. My little secret; shaving with the soap. I like to spend the least amount of time in the shower, my hair is really long and takes around 8 minutes to shampoo and condition.

I drop a little of the Moroccan "Beldi" Black Soap with precious Argan Oil in the glove, and rub in circle motions. The soap lathers perfect enough to easily glide the razor for shaving!!

Here are the directions:

First: Make sure your bath or shower is hot and as steamy as possible. It is important for your skin to be already warm. Apply to your face and body in small circular movements. Leave the soap for between five and ten minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

Second: Follow the Black Soap wash with a thorough exfoliation using the Moroccan exfoliating glove or "Kessa" . Rub in a vertical motion (not circular).

Third: After drying, and for the perfect compliment to the Black Soap treatment continue with a massage using Zakia's pure Argan Oil or one of our special facial oils.

The Moroccan "Beldi" Black Soap with precious Argan Oil was definitely a product I had never used, but now I am addicted. The smell of the product is unscented, however it has an amazing unscented new smell.

Zakias Morocco has so many amazing products, you can snag this set here. They also have the Black Soap with scents!! I have my eye on Moroccan Black Soap with Summer Lavender for my next item I would love to try.

What I love about Zakia’s Morocco is that they always offer high quality products, which have amazing good for you ingredients!

Argan oil is a beauty line staple to me, I use this product for many different uses.

Argan oil is a beauty line staple to me, I use this product for many different uses. I make my own face serums and use Argan Oil to mix with Essential Oils to hydrate my face without clogging my pores.

I recently had a run in with a terrible conditioner for my hair, I had to use a Tea Tree soak to strip this dreadful waxy buildup from my hair. I have extremely long hair and this soak left my hair a mess (nothing else would take the wax off) so to combat the tangles I use this as a conditioning treatment. You can even add essential oils to your mix.

I also use this when I have spots of dry skin or patches, the oil absorbs quickly and leaves you non greasy if you do not apply too much.

This is a timeless classic, everyone needs this in their bathroom cabinet.

Have a hard time sleeping in the city? Lazy Lidz Eye Mask

Lazy Lidz Eye Mask
I was born and raised in the country, now my husband and I live in the city. I have had a hard time getting adjusted to the strange noises and lights flickering through the curtains. I was happy when I was asked by the company to review this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion, I purchased this item at a low rate or received the product free for testing.

I was so glad to see that the strap adjusts so that it isn’t one size fits all, when the eye mask arrived it had ear plugs on the band. My husband and I joked about the dog snoring and how they were handy, the very next Saturday our neighbor began the ritual of letting their 2 large dogs outside anywhere between 4-6 AM to bark constant for hours. My husband got out of bed and went to the store, I however reached up grabbed the ear plugs, put them in and went to bed. I would recommend this as an essential for anyone whom lives in or near a city.

I use my phone for my job, I always try to prevent any mishaps like drops and falls but it still happens. I was glad when I was contacted to receive this item free or at an extreme discount for product testing and review.

I needed a case that can quickly be removed and put back on, I tend to rip or tear my nails with hard cases, I have had no issues with this cell phone case. This has been a great cell phone case, and I love the added strap to prevent drops.

Danish Dough Whisk, Where has this whisk been all my life? Baking made quick!

Whisk…The dreaded word of the one thing I try to avoid in the kitchen. I usually make food and desserts that have sticky batters, this means:

1. You get your arm workout for the day and if that doesn’t sound fun.

2. Enjoy cleaning the thing, seriously there is not 1 tool made that I can find to help clean the original round whisk. So I am forced to weave a washcloth throughout the thing like a basket. Sometimes I have even contemplated throwing the whisk away and just buying new.


I was fortunate to receive this product for review at an extreme discount or at no cost in exchange for an honest unbiased review.

I was excited when the Danish Dough Whisk when it arrived, my husband had been wanting me to bake some cupcakes and I was dreading my original style whisk. This whisk is large and perfect for working with large stainless mixing bowls. I have small hands and can easily grasp the handle with ease for whisking.

I decided to make my husband his cupcakes the day with the whisk arrived, I added my ingredients and began to whisk away while my original old round style whisk watched in disbelief from the baking utensil jar.

Within a few whisks my batter was done! Wait what…No extra 5 minute whisking that hurts your arm, and no chopping at the unblended clumps because there were none?
Exactly.. I had my cupcakes made in the fastest time yet, my husband was shocked.

I recommend this to everyone whom has to deal with the original style of whisk in their baking or cooking routine, seriously do yourself a favor and try one of these.

Shall I mention my favorite part; cleaning the whisk? I walked over to the sink turned the water on rinsed it off, and then washed with soap and it was done in under 1 minute.

I put this back in my baking utensil holder, and threw away my old whisk at once.

Enjoying Tea Sampler Box, Loose Leaf Affordable Luxury Great Tasting Tea

I was really excited when the lovely people at Enjoying Tea contacted me to review and try a tea sampler on them! They must know that I am a devoted tea drinker.

In fact I am a daily tea drinker, and no I do not mean Lipton or any other brand from the supermarket. I drink tea for the beneficial factors, plus it is a great alternative to soft drinks and coffee.

There are many benefits from choosing to drink tea, you can view many of them here at this website them here: http://www.webmd.com/diet/tea-types-and-their-health-benefits

Tea can also be prepared many ways, I find making a larger amount fits my needs better than the traditional 1 glass tea bags. I like to purchase loose tea so that I can use my large steeper.

These are the 6 teas that I received to try:

Jasmine Green Tea

http://www.enjoyingtea.com/jasgreentea.html

Jasmine green is my daily go to choice, I love the light flavor the honeysuckle aromas of jasmine.  I like to drink this tea medium warm. I often brew a large batch and take this with me to go in the car or office.

Keemun Black Tea
http://www.enjoyingtea.com/keemblacteaq.html

I am just now experimenting with black teas as I have always thought they would taste like drinking straight coffee bitter and yuck. But I was wrong, brewing this I noticed a sweet orchid aroma and a dark orange color. The first time I made this I drank it warm and the second time I drank it hot with honey, drinking it hot is my preferred tempature.

Roasted Mate Chai
http://www.enjoyingtea.com/romach1.html

This tea has some of the following ingredients: roasted yerba mate, ginger, cardamom, coriander, cinnamon, and black pepper. Chai is amazing but unfortunately I am allergic to certain spices most commonly in Chai. I did not test this out but the smell is amazing, I am going to email the company to get the full ingredients before trying this one.


Earl Grey Black Tea

http://www.enjoyingtea.com/eagrbltea.html

The first time I tried Earl Grey from another tea vendor it was horrible, I could not even finish the drink.

This time I tried the Earl Grey I found that it was not bitter, or harsh. The citrus flavor is easily identified and makes this tea great iced on a hot day.

Organic Slimming Oolong Tea

http://www.enjoyingtea.com/orslootea.html

I love Oolong tea, the tricky issue is finding the right brand for you. Some Oolongs can taste pretty much like soap, these typically are the cheap supermarket brands. I like to mix Oolong with Green tea the smooth taste, and nutty flavor leave you with an amazing aftertaste throughout the day as you drink it.
I like to drink this mixture especially if I am sick or having sinus issues. The blend soothes these issues.

Vanilla Rooibos

http://www.enjoyingtea.com/vanillarooibos.html

I had never tried the Vanilla Rooibus due to a horrible experience with a vanilla tea at Teavana. However I tried this tea expecting the worst, and yet I was very surprised. I recommend drinking this tea with the companies recommended dash of sugar and milk. Just don’t overdo it. This is a great evening relaxing tea.

I shopped around on their website, they have amazing deals on tea pots and and accessories, check them out before heading to a pricey tea store.

Vitamin C Skincare Serum, Perfect alternative to Chemical Peels and Laser Skincare.

6/10/2015

0 Comments

I am a skincare addict, I use every product in product lines and have a weekly routine for exfoliating and using masks on the weekend. I was excited to be gifted this vibrant orange Vitamin C serum (the orange color is from the Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil). The serum smells like a mixture of citrus fruits which is very refreshing but not too strong.

 I have been trying to add a Vitamin C serum into my beauty care since I read about it on Doctor Oz as a preventive. Aging skin naturally loses this nutrient Vitamin C over time and even other factors such as UV light (tanning beds), pollutants and cigarette smoke contribute to the nutrient loss.

Vitamin C is perfect for treating age spots, and you know those pricey peels and lasers? Vitamin C can produce the same results. Vitamin C can help with age spots, wrinkles, and skin smoothness. It is also recommended to achieve results with skin, you need to use the Vitamin C topically instead of taking Vitamins.

I’ve only been using this for a few weeks, I have noticed small results as I have not yet used it long enough for dramatic results. My skin does appear to be brighter and have a nice complexion without spotty redness.

My skin feels smoother, and I have not had any dryness, reactions, or breakouts of acne from this product, the bottle does seem small but the product does spread well without requiring you to use too much.

I recommend this to those whom are looking for a Vitamin C Serum, I received my bottle in exchange for my opinion and review of my trial period in which I tested the product.  My husband has also become very fond of this product (he has 2 favorites out of all of my stuff) and is pretty much sharing the bottle with me. We both have 2 different types of skin, his being oily, mine being extreme combination of dryness and oiliness. This has worked perfect for both of us.

You can get a bottle here off Amazon at: http://bit.ly/VALENTIAVitaminC
