Garlic Press and Peeler Set Review

I received this Garlic Press and Peeler Set for free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion of the product and it can be purchased on Amazon by Clicking Here
I am very impressed with this Garlic Press and Peeler Set! It honestly exceeds all of my expectations and I highly recommend! I was a bit skeptical that the peeler would actually peel the garlic for me but it really did. It was so simple to use too! Simply put garlic inside the peeler and start to roll it as you would maybe a pill. If you want you could also squeeze the peeler in between your fingers almost as if you  are giving the garlic a "mini massage". Once the garlic comes out it is completely peeled saving you time and energy from crushing the garlic or having to cut off the ends to get it loose from the peel. I was so fascinated that I peeled a few garlics. 
The Garlic press is also amazing! I own one but it is not nearly as efficient as this one. This garlic press has totally replaced the other garlic press and it is now the only one I use. It is literally the best. With the other garlic press I own I had to scrape the inside of the press to get whatever was left in the press into my food I was preparing. With this garlic press I am able to put an entire garlic into it and have it all pressed out into the pot or pan I am using. There is no need for me to scrape the remainder of the garlic because it all falls in the food! It finely minces the garlic beautifully and the best part is that I do not have to peel the garlic ahead of time to get it minced. The garlic peeler does its magic and delivers great service. 
Overall, I love the quality, feel and design of this garlic peeler. I love that all the pieces to the press are attached so I am not fumbling in any drawer looking for pieces to assemble the garlic press together like with the other one I own. I love that the ends of the handles have handles if I decide I want to hang it up in my kitchen. I simply love the sophistication of this product and I also love that the peeler really delivers and is a time saver. I truly and honestly recommend this set and promise that you will love it as much as I do!!!! Honest!

Gold and Silver Flash Tattoos by Voodoo Tattoo Review + Giveaway

I received these Gold and Silver Flash Tattoos by Voodoo Tattoo for free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion of the product and they can be purchased on Amazon by Clicking Here
As a kid I always enjoyed receiving temporary tattoos at parties and putting them all over my arms and legs. It was fun and I had no care in the world if it looked coordinated or not. I especially loved princess tattoos and tattoos of flowers but anything would do LOL. As a grown up you don't really have the option of wearing temporary tattoos without it looking tacky. Usually permanent tattoos are for grownups and temporary tattoos are for little kids, but not anymore! Now you can sport a tattoo until it fades away and you  don't have to worry about shelling out tons of money for something you may get sick of later in life!

These tattoos are super stylish and edgy. They come in silver, gold and black and are a great addition to your wardrobe. They remind me of Aztec or Mayan type designs are can be worn to resemble stylish jewelry. I prefer to use these in the summer when I can show them off. I already have some great ideas as to where the tattoos can go on my body. The long black chain tattoo can go over the long of my spine, the cross can go on as an anklet with the cross being in the center of the foot, I was thinking that I ca wear the small feathers behind my ear and the large feathers along the bottom side of my wrist. I am starting a new job so I do not want them to be visible so I don't want to waste them, but I cannot wait to use them! They are super cute and really can be worn as a pretty accessory. 

The tattoos are really easy to put on. Use the same technique as when you were a child. Simply cut out your desired design, place it wear you want it, wet the tattoo thoroughly and apply even pressure for about 15-30 seconds and then gently remove the white paper and allow the tattoo to completely dry; that's it! Once the tattoo has dried make sure to enjoy it :) They last for three days. Removal is simple too; just wipe the tattoo off with some type of cream or oil and wipe until it completely comes off; using alcohol works just as fine also. I highly recommend these and also recommend you checking out all the other designs this company has to offer. They have a great selection for you to choose from.

I believe this style is called Iris but I am not 100% sure

Sun Si'belle Broad Spectrum SPF30 Sunscreen,Tinted Review

I received this Sun Si'belle Broad Spectrum SPF30 Sunscreen (Tinted) for free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion of the product and it can be purchased on Amazon by Clicking Here.
This is a very great quality sunscreen lotion. It is particularly great because of its tinted hue. I am naturally bronzed golden skin but it never hurts to put on tinted sunscreen especially because it has SPF30. My boyfriend has lighter skin than me and this is perfect for him. In the summer he lathers on tanning oil all over and while he achieves a great bronzed complexion, it isn't exactly healthy because the oil provides him no coverage from the sun's dangerous rays. Now he can achieve a great tan safely.
I love that the sunscreen goes on smoothly and evenly and does not streak! Because of its tinted pigment you do not need to worry about having a white appearance on your skin like you would otherwise with another sunscreen; it absorbs straight into your skin. I also love that this sunscreen contains antioxidants and age defying ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, CoQ10, and Vitamin C. Exposure to ultraviolet light, UVA or UVB, from sunlight accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging including wrinkles so having this product is great! I was able to try this on just for testing purposes because let's face it; I don't really need sunscreen in February in the Winter! It is so cold I wish I could use this for its true purpose! I really miss the sun!!!! In the summer I will be taking advantage of this product and using it daily. 

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

  • Light and non-greasy, Moisturizes and hydrates all day long
  • Defends skin with mineral SPF 30, age defying, tinted (no white cast)
  • Contains antioxidants and age defying ingredients, Hyaluronic acid, CoQ10, Vitamin C

Run Forever Sports - Calf Compression Sleeves Review

I received these Calf Compression Sleeves for free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion of the product and they can be purchased on Amazon by Clicking Here.
These compression sleeves are very beneficial and comfortable. These are designed to support your muscles and increase blood flow and prevent pooling in your legs. These are ideal for people who are on their feet all day or those who are on strict bed rest and do not move enough to prevent blood from accumulating in one area (which is dangerous and could create a blood clot). These compression sleeves are also great to fight muscle fatigue, reduce pain from shin splints and are great for frequent travelers. You can use these for virtually anything: Running, walking, baseball, basketball, cycling, hiking, crossfit, travel and more! If you stand on your feet for hours on end then these are perfect for you! These require some elbow grease to get them on and off but that should be expected as the compression sleeves provide pressure that starts at 20mmHg at the top of the sleeve and progresses smoothly to 25mmHg at the bottom of the pair of sleeves to provide you with increased blood transport to muscles over the entire length of the sleeve. Any pair fitting easily like a sock is not going to give you adequate pressure and benefits this sleeve provides. I love the feel of them and the fact that my boyfriend and I can both wear them. Very great quality sleeves and beautiful design! These sleeves are a winner! Highly recommend!
My boyfriend loved these very much! He even forgot he had them on! 
These compression sleeves come in two sizes. They are perfect for men and women up to 6'2" in height with calf sizes ranging from 11 inches up to 19 inches. To get the perfect fit for the compression socks measure the thickest part of your calf (circumference) to determine the proper size compression sleeve for you.

Calf Size Measurements

Medium: 11" - 15" Up to 5'10" in Height
Large: 15" - 19" Up to 6'2" in Height

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

  • SIZED FOR A PERFECT, COMFORTABLE FIT - Made from high quality material, our sleeves are so comfortable that after a few minutes, you won't know they are there. Our Calf Compression Sleeves come in two sizes to better fit your legs. The sleeves are perfect for men and women up to 6'3" in height with calf sizes ranging from 11 inches up to 18 inches. To get the perfect fit for the compression sleeves, take a look at our size chart in the images or in the description section.
  • SHIN SPLINTS + PAIN RELIEF: Our calf compression sleeves also give you relief from shin splints and prevent cramps in your calves. They are great for those who travel a lot or are on their feet all day. Don't put up with the pain any longer, add to cart and get relief NOW!
  • INCREASE PERFORMANCE - Do you play sports? Crossfit? Do you work out? Our calf compression sleeves are a must have for those with an active lifestyle as they help support your calfs and shins. Why wait, get the support you need to reach the next level. Don't settle for anything less!

MeasuPro Programmable Cooking Thermometer Review

I received this MeasuPro Programmable Cooking Thermometer for free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion of the product and it can be purchased on Amazon by Clicking Here
This is such a great addition to my kitchen! I absolutely love this thermometer and all its features. It runs on a single AAA battery which is included. This thermometer takes the guessing out of preparing your foods. Never again do I have to cut into my meats to check for "doneness". This thermometer lets me know when my food is ready. All you have to do is program the thermometer to the type of meat you are cooking and how well you want it cooked and the thermometer lets you know when it has cooked to your desired preference (rare, medium rare, medium well and well done). The measuring range is from 32°F to a very high heat of 392°F / 0°C to 200°C. The thermometer can be programmed to alert you when your food is ready visually or audibly. You will hear a beep when the internal temperature of the meat is 10 degrees away from the desired temperature and again when it has reached the desired temperature. 
This thermometer has an adjustable screen that can lay flat or can be pulled up to a 90 degree angle for better reading access. It has a large LCD screen but it has no backlight which would have been great! This thermometer conveniently has strong magnets which is perfect to hang on the oven or near the exhaust fan in the kitchen. It is also great to hang on the refrigerator when it is not in use!  It also has a long 36 inch oven-safe probe which is amazing. You can easily position the probe in the center of the meat being cooked and fully close the oven without any heat escaping the oven. And when you position the probe in the center of the meat you can be sure that the probe is reading the temperature of the meat and not the temperature of the oven so you get perfectly cooked meat every time! Now remember, because the higher temperature limit is 392°F you cannot broil meats with the probe inserted in the meat; it cannot withstand 500°F, so I would suggest cooking to the desired temperature then removing the probe and broiling the meat for a set amount of time until you are satisfied. Overall, I think this is a great product and I definitely recommend it to all! 
Thermometer folds 90 degrees and the probe is long at 36 inches! 
Attaches to the fridge! 
Also attaches to the exhaust fan in the kitchen :)
Here is what the company has to say about the product:
  • Features - The MeasuPro DCT350 Digital Cooking Thermometer offers a list of meats programmed with the min. cooking temp according to the USDA recommendations.
  • Functions - You can select between Celsius and Fahrenheit modes. Features a long 36 inch oven-safe probe. Readings are ultra-fast and accurate.
  • Setting - Temperatures are programmable according to preference or select from the programmed meat options with pre-set temps. Also has 4 options of meat doneness.
  • Includes - A list of foods with the USDA recommended min. temp. Has a magnetic back and LCD display. This electronic thermometer will beep when food hits the set temp.
  • Power - Uses 1 AAA battery. The measuring range is from 32°F to a very high heat of 392°F / 0°C to 200°C. Compact flip-top display. Great for commercial, professional use.

Organic Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Matcha Review

I received this Organic Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Matcha for free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion of the product and it can be purchased on Amazon by Clicking Here
I have tried KissMe Organics culinary grade green tea and I loved it so I knew I was also going to love this ceremonial grade version. I love the taste of it. A little goes a long way. I mixed 1 teaspoon of green tea in 8 ounces of water. I mixed it well until it dissolved. The matcha tastes earthy which does not bother me at all as I am taking in all of the benefits but if you'd like you can add some type of sweetener such as stevia, agave, or honey to enhance the taste of it. This green tea is great because it is a natural mood enhancer and sharpens mental focus while reducing stress levels. Consuming matcha can increase the body's metabolism rate, help reduce cravings, reduce water retention and improve the body's ability to burn calories. Matcha also provides 4-6 hours of mild steady energy as it acts as both stimulant and relaxant. This is an excellent source of energy for those needing the extra boost without the unnecessary jitters. 
This green tea also has up to 137x the antioxidants of brewed green tea. According to the company, Matcha is a fine powdered form of shade grown green tea leaves. This means you consume the entire leaf providing your body and mind with a maximum concentration of Polyphenols and EGCG.
Overall, I like this green tea very much. It was very soothing and calming and tasted great. The only think I didn't like was that the tea comes in a foil inside the tin. This was a very messy process to access the powder so I would recommend you dump the contents out of the foil and into the tin it comes packaged in. Other than that, I have no complaints. ^_^

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

  • HIGHEST QUALITY MATCHA: Shade grown, Ceremonial Matcha powder is distinctive due to the vibrant green color, slightly sweet flavor and smooth finish.
  • OVER 100 YEARS OF ORGANIC FARMING EXPERIENCE & RECOGNIZED BY THE UN: Our certified organic family-owned Japanese tea farm has been operating since 1915, run by the same family for over 3 generations. Grown in the Shizuoka region of Japan, recognized by the United Nations as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System
  • ENERGY POWERHOUSE, NATURAL MOOD ENHANCER & MENTAL FOCUS: Boost your vitality with the unique ability to reduce stress levels, focus the mind, and provides all-day energy.
  • UP TO _137x THE ANTIOXIDANTS OF BREWED GREEN TEA: Matcha is a fine powdered form of shade grown green tea leaves. This means you consume the entire leaf providing your body and mind with a maximum concentration of Polyphenols and EGCG.
  • LIFETIME GUARANTEE 110% MoneyBack - If for some reason, you are not satisfied with our Organic Matcha we provide a no-hassle no-questions-asked refund. Yes, we are that devoted to your happiness! :)
NOTE:  Although this tea is ideally taken with just water, we have taken the time to create a recipe guide that includes other ways to enjoy. But this type of Matcha itself is strictly for drinking because of its sweeter, and smoother taste.

OZ Naturals Facial Toner Review

I received this OZ Naturals Facial Toner for free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion of the product and it can be purchased on Amazon by Clicking Here.
This toner is great! I appreciate companies that make products solely to benefit the people using their products and I feel that OZ Naturals has achieved this with this toner. According to the company, Organic sulfur acts as a healing solvent, driving ingredients deep into your cells and creating permeability, for nutrients to move in and toxins to move out. Glycolic acid, amino acids, ocean minerals, vitamin C, and active plant extracts work miracles with dry, sun damaged skin and help replenish your skin. 

I love that it is made of natural and organic ingredients and that it is not drying to my face at all. I apply this toner by spraying some on my hands and palms and rubbing it all over my face, but cotton balls and pads are also as effective. I feel that when I use the toner before all else, I get more use out of my products such as primers, lotions and moisturizers and my makeup even seems to last longer. I am not left with an oily appearance and my face is totally hydrated. There is no offensive smell and the toner lasts all day and can even be used during the day to "refresh" your face. Spray tonic over your entire face, neck, and décolleté after cleansing and exfoliating the skin. Afterward, follow with serum and moisturizer to have a hydrated appearance. It's even great for an all-over body toning Highly recommend this product. 

Here is what the company has to say about the product:
  • THIS FACE TONER is a serious base layer for serums and moisturizers. By properly layering OZ Naturals products, you'll receive optimal anti aging results as this toner is specifically formulated to support a highly effective relationship with our serums and moisturizers.
  • DERMATOLOGIST GRADE Skin treatment - Contains a naturally potent blend of glycolic acid, ocean minerals, vitamin c & amino acids & is conclusively considered to be the most effective facial toner available.
  • THIS TONER IS results driven - Expect to see results within the first seven days of daily use - We guarantee you will not be disappointed.
  • THIS ANTI AGING Toner is 100% natural, cruelty-free, vegan, does not contain alcohol, parabens or sulfates and is PH balanced which makes it safe for all skin types.
  • ALL OUR PRODUCTS are proudly made in the USA - OZ Naturals formulates the most effective anti aging products on the market - OZ Naturals products work & they work extremely well - We guarantee you'll get results!
