Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror Review


*As always the opinions expressed here are my own and always will be.*

I received this Fogless Shower Mirror  in exchange for my honest unbiased review of the product from Cassani Company via Tomoson

It can be Autumn, Winter, Spring or Summer; as a matter of fact, it can be the hottest day of the year and I have to take a hot steamy shower! It is just the way I function! Don’t get me wrong; when it’s that hot I usually start off with a hot steamy shower but end it with a refreshing cold shower but needless to say my mirrors, the entire bathroom rathe,r steams up. I’d normally have to wipe my mirror clean with the towel to catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror becuse that how steamy it gets when I shower. Well, I was excited when I was given the chance to review this product! I recently tried the Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror, which claims that it can help you to achieve a perfect, flawless shave every time and will never fog up on you. Me being a girl and all I do NOT shave my face LOL, but the mirror is still handy to have. I’m the type of person that needs to see what I’m doing; when I’m washing my face I do it in front of the mirror to ensure myself that I'm getting everything off, including that pesky eyeliner that works wonderfully ^_^ Let me tell you that this mirror works!! Yes it does! It passed my steamy shower test because not once did it fog up. This mirror truly lives up to its name!


Here is what is included with the Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror:
1 Stainless Steel Mirror Wall Mount
1 Stainless Steel Shaving Razor Wall Mount
1 Shatter-Proof Fogless Shower Mirror


Setting up the mirror was super easy. 
How To Use The Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror:
Clean the area in your shower where you will put your mirror and razor hooks with rubbing alcohol and make sure the surface is very dry before putting the adhesives in place.You will want to remove the protective brown coating from both sides of your new shower mirror to reveal the reflective mirror. Place pressure on the hook(s) for 30-45 seconds and then allow the hooks a few hours to set before hanging anything on them. Now you are ready to shave! (Do not use any cleaning products on the mirror). This is very important to note. Please, I repeat, DO NOT wipe the mirror with any cleaning products. As a matter of fact, after installing it just don't touch it. I have heard from numerous people that if you wipe it with cleaning products, the cleaning products will wipe away the fogless technology converting it into an ordinary mirror that fogs up, so to avoid this be extra gentle with this mirror and do not wipe it with Windex or anything else for that matter! 
Here is what the company has to say about the product:
Achieve A Flawless Shave Every Time  
Why Shave In The Shower?

Warm and Clean
Instead of letting your razor sit on the sink, keep your razor both clean and warm under the hot spray of the shower.
Plus, no more messy sinks = Bonus points with the ladies.

Razor Burn Be Gone!
It’s itchy, it stings and it leaves unsightly bumps that leave you feeling self-conscious. The steam from a nice hot shower softens hair and skin, while also opening up the pores for a closer shave, helping you say “Goodbye!” to razor burn

Continuous Hydration
It may not be seen as “manly” to worry about keeping your skin moist, but moist skin helps you get the most effective shave every time. Because really, who wants to look like they haven’t shaved in days after waking up early to have time for a clean shave?

Organic Matcha Review

*As always the opinions expressed here are my own and always will be.*

I received this organic matcha green tea in exchange for my honest unbiased review of the product from Kiss Me Organics via Tomoson. I also recieved a 70 page Organic Matcha Recipe Guide complimenary from Kiss Me Organics. 

So, I've had the priviledge of using this organic green tea and I have to say that it is amazing! I usually don't really like the taste of green tea but for some reason I like this one. It has an earthy smell to it and tastes very good! I especially like that the green tea is not only limited to making tea! You have a variety of options of what to make with the green tea; 70 pages worth to be exact! So far, I've made two recipes and have liked them both. 

The first recipe I tried was the Berry Good Morning Smoothie. Now, I did not have blueberries on hand so I omitted this ingredient, but despite that the smoothie tasted so delicious! It honestly tasted like a smoothie you'd get at a restaurant. The green tea was not overpowering and the color of the green tea did not show in the smoothie. It was very simple to make and I will defintely be making it again. 







The second recipe I tried was the Matcha Orange Cocktail. As you can see it looks nothing like the picture provided in the recipe guide. Maybe I went a bit overboard with the green tea? I don't think so, but it sure looks that way LOL. This recipe was good too, but I prefered the first one to this one. This recipe simply tasted like green tea infused orange juice. It did not taste bad at all, however, it just simply wasn't as good to me as the first one. This recipe was also very simple to make. In fact, after reading through the recipe guide, all the recipes seem very easy to make and seem like a healthy alternative to your favorite meals. Available in the guide which is provided for you once you purchase the green tea are recipes to make drinks & cocktails, smoothies, breakfast recipes, sweets, breads, dips & toppers, pizza, poultry & seafood, beef, soup & sides, and shot drinks. 

 





Apart from the fact that this green tea tastes good and is easy to implement in various recipes, I found that it gives me tremendous energy! It's not the type of energy that you would typically find in an energy drink but it is nonetheless a good type of energy. I am able to do what I have to do around the house and run all my errands without feeling tired and the best part of it all is that I am receiving the appropriate amount of energy my body needs without the heart palpitations. There's nothing worse than trying a product that claims to be safe and give you energy and then you feel shaky the rest of the day. This product did not do that to me which I love! I love that this green tea is organic and safe! I definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting to try something new and different! 

Here is what the company has to say about the product:

USED FOR:  LATTES | SMOOTHIES | BAKING




ALL DAY ENERGY WITH INCREASED FOCUS
Matcha provides 4 to 6 hours of mild steady energy as it acts as both a stimulant and a relaxant. This is ideal for focusing on whatever the day throws your way.

METABOLISM BOOST
Consuming matcha green tea can increase thermogenesis (the body's own rate of burning calories) from a normal 8%-10% of daily energy expenditure, to between 35% and 43% of daily energy expediture.

IMPROVED SKIN HEALTH
​Scientists have discovered that Matcha Green Tea helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays, while improving blood flow and oxygen levels lifting the overall quality of the skin.

137x THE ANTIOXIDANTS OF BREWED GREEN TEA
Antioxidants are essential as you age to boost your body's natural defenses against oxidation. Researchers have found that a high level of dietary antioxidants can prevent many age-related diseases.

Even Glow Serum Review


*As always the opinions expressed here are my own and always will be.*



This serum smells amazing! It smells citrusy; like I have a pile of fresh oranges on hand. The formula is thick and it goes on smooth. I like that it gives my face a glowing appearance and I like that after it dries it leaves my skin feeling baby soft! I cannot rave enough about this product. Valentia Skin Care definitely knew what they were doing when they crafted this. It is made with natural ingredients and made to suit every skin type. This serum contains 20% Vitamin C, skin super oils (organic rosehip oil & organic sea buckthorn oil), Resistem (plant stem cells), hyaluronic acid (botanical), and green tea extract. All of these ingredients help combat your nightmare scare concerns related to your face. This serum is simply perfect!!





This is what Valentia has to say about this serum:

“Our premier formulation is backed by scientific research into the efficacy of each of the natural ingredients we have carefully selected. Our proprietary blend of *skin super oils compliment our 20% Vitamin C base, leading to a powerful antioxidant treatment. Each natural ingredient was chosen to support and enhance Vitamin C’s efficacy on the skin leading to more well-rounded serum to add to your daily skin care ritual. Our Even Glow Serum will repair, refresh, and renew your skin; restoring evenness to your complexion, giving you an extra boost of confidence each time you look in the mirror.”


This came along with a 44-page downloadable pdf book and inside it has some amazing tips. It includes facts about what factors contribute to skin health such as the weather (wind, sun, snow, etc), alcohol and cigarettes, different chemicals such as pollutants in the air, etc., and diet and nutrients. This handy book explains the benefits of certain vitamins such as Vitamins A, C, E, etc., and it explains how to include them in your diet to achieve perfect skin. It also explains the significance that Sea Buckhorn Oil and Rosehip Seed Oil plays in making this serum. Valentia claims that the oil derived from sea buckthorn berries has been used to treat a variety of skin problems including sunburn, eczema and radiation burns. They also say that sea buckthorn oil has also been proven effective for reducing fine lines, reducing sun spots, firmer skin and promoting the growth of new cells. This oil alone sounds amazing but Valentia Skin Care has also added the Rosehip Seed Oil which increases collagen production so your skin retains the elasticity responsible for a youthful appearance and also contains essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. They say that Rosehip seed oil is known to hydrate itchy dry skin, decrease the appearance of dark spots and reduce fine lines and scars. In addition to the oils they have added to the serum they also added Green Tea which is full of antioxidants that help diminish damage caused to the skin by excessive skin exposure while also preventing wrinkles and reducing skin redness!  This book also contains a guide that helps you determine which kind of skin you have whether it be normal, dry, oily, combination, or sensitive. Finally, the most exciting part is that Valentia Skin Care has added so many different kinds of facial treatments ranging from a Sea Salt Scrub and Exfoliating Papaya Mask to a Daily Almond Face Wash and a De-puffing Coffee Mask! The aforementioned facial treatments are just a few of the many skin routines available in this book. Why not give Valentia Skin Care a try. You will not regret using this product and your skin will thank you in the end. It is a win-win situation. If you want to purchase this item head over to their page and buy one for yourdelf so you can experinece the amazingness! Even Glow Serum.

Cantu Oil Sheen Review


*As always the opinions expressed here are my own and always will be.*


About two weeks ago I went to a friend's house to prepare for a career fair being held at our alma matter. We did each other's hair and then she sprayed this oil sheen in my hair. The result was spectacular. My hair looked like it was done by a professional and all because of this oil sheen! (Granted, she did my hair nicely LOL, but the point is that this spray gave my hair the finishing touch it needed). I had to buy one for myself. This product smells so good and leaves my hair looking nice and shiny. I'm not talking about that "greasy shiny look, the one that looks like you haven't washed your hair for days look." NO, I'm talking about that, "you just got out of the salon shiny look." The added benefit of this product is that it's a deep conditioning spray and it helps prevent heat damage. What's not to love about that? Below is the picture of me the day of the career fair: 


Here I have taken the liberty of taking before and after pictures of just the other day (Sunday):

You can really notice the difference from the before and after pictures. There is a shine that my before picture does not have yet it is not a greasy kind of shiny look. Overall, I love the way this product leaves my hair looking. It smells good, it does whait it claims to do and it doesn't break the bank. 

Lubriderm Review

*As always the opinions expressed here are my own and always will be.*

I am always trying out different lotions because my skin is sooo dry! I mean, on my worst day I look like I have reptile skin, not kidding! When the seasons are transitioning is when my skin gets the most dry; it's horrible. Finally I came across this lotion at Walmart one day and thought I would give it a shot because it claimed that it deeply hydrated extra dry skin. The first day I tried it  I instantly fell in love with it. The lotion is so thick and smooth and it left my skin looking very hydrated. I love that the lotion is infused with Vitamins E and B5. I also love that when I apply the lotion on my skin it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or slippery. The lotion absorbs right into my skin, (probably because it's so darn dry) and leaves it feeling smooth. It also relieves that dry itchy feeling that I get in the winter. I have been using this lotion for about two years now and it is my go-to lotion. I love how healthy it makes my skin look and feel and I love the thick rich fomula it provides. 


Neutrogena Naturals Makeup Remover Review

*As always the opinions expressed here are my own and always will be.*

So I use this product only when I wear makeup and so far so good! This cleanser does its job! This is what Neutrogena has to say about the product: "Completely cleans skin and removes makeup in one step without stripping skin's natural moisture. This Peruvian Tara seed bionutrient rich cleanser leaves skin soft and rinses clean. Developed for gentle eye area." I have to completely agree. With this product you don't need to use makeup remover wipes because this by itself does the job. It removes ALL my makeup and leaves my skin feeling super smooth and soft. My skin is sensitive and before finding this product my face tended to get red after removing makeup. Not anymore! This formula works for my sensitive skin and really does remove all my makeup, especially that stuubborn eyeliner that would only smudge with wipes. What I also love about this product is that it contains only nautral products; no parabens, harsh chemicals, sodium laureth sulfate, etc. With this cleanser you can rest assured that what you are putting on your face is safe and gentle. And the best part about all of this is that this cleanser will not break your bank. It is cheap yet the product is so high-end! I hope Neutrogena never stops making this because this is truly an unbelievable product! I say try it and find out if this works for you because what may work for me may not work for you. Have an awesome day!

Degree Motionsense Review

*As always the opinions expressed here are my own and always will be.*

I received this product complimentary from Influenster. To tell you a little about Influenster: Influenster is a review website. There you can review products that they send you for free in exchange for your honest unbiased review. You can also review products that you have tried in the past! Being an Influenster you want to build influence on social media. The more active you are on social media with their sponsored products, the more chances you have of being picked to receive voxboxes (which are boxes filled with goodies to review). I received this Degree deodorant in the mail (No shipping costs either!!!) to review and I have to say that I ABSOLUTELY love it! I mean, I have tried so many different deodorants in the past and for many reasons. I've tried deodorants to exclusively wear while wearing with my LBD, or to workout, go out, etc. and some just don't work! Some deodorants tend to leave behind residue or buildup (which feels yucky), they don't provide enough protection, some having you reapplying 5x's a day and some even leave me feeling embarrassed because they do such a poor job that I sweat excessively. I am not saying this deodorant is the replace all for deodorants but for now it is doing the job. 

On the degree website (Click this link) http://www.degreedeodorant.com/en/women/products/expert-protection-fresh-energy# they state that Degree with MOTIONSENSE™ technology releases bursts of freshness with every move you make, keeping you protected for longer. This means that the more you do the better the product works! I love this! So go ahead, what are you waiting for? Go out there and DO MORE! Have a great day everyone!

Below is a Degree review I wrote:













Great Protection!! I absolutely love the Degree MotionSense 48 hour protection deodorant. I tried Fresh Energy and I love how fresh the deodorant makes me feel and the fresh scent it provides. I cannot attest to 48 hour durability as I take a shower daily, however, I can say that in the morning I do not wake up to smelling stinky armpits. Smells as if I had just applied it that morning and you don't have to put on too much to achieve this. I like that the deodorant goes on smooth and clear; it truly is invisible solid. They say the more you do the better the product works and I can say this statement is true. I'm constantly running errands, cooking, cleaning, etc. and I feel my best when I'm doing more. I definitely recommend this deodorant to anyone and everyone. Do not knock it until you try it. This one you're going to love! (BTW: I received this product complimentary of Influenster for testing purposes!)
