Cuta Vita advanced revitalizing cream review and giveaway!

This advanced revitalizing cream was sent to me for my honest review through the tomoson website by Cutis Vita. Let me tell you. . . it has come just in time! I have been suffering from dry skin for as long as I can remember. It has been even worse this year in my new classroom. (I think it's the chalk from the chalkboards). This is one reason you haven't seen too many nail polish posts from me this year. My hands are just so dry!

Once I saw this promotion I knew I had to apply, try and get word out to you all! Shipping is amazingly fast and the product does not disappoint either.

This is the advanced revitalizing cream from Cutis Vita. It has been a heaven sent recently. I was sent the 4 oz size but it also comes in an 8 or 2 oz container. A little bit goes a long way with this product, so if you are unsure at first . . . a 2 oz size would be a great start. I think you'll end up wanting a bigger size though because it is AMAZING!

Just look at the creamy-ness!

One great thing about this product is: it does not contain any harmful chemicals! I am all about putting as little chemical on my skin as possible. I love all things natural/organic etc.

Here is a little bit of information taken from the Cutis Vita website:

Imbue Naturals VItamin C Serum

I have a very nice vitamin C serum provided for review from Tomoson.com for no cost for my honest opinion. I completely forgot that I needed to post this the other day. It's been very busy in this household (selling our house, first year teaching etc).

As you know from previous posts, I am a huge fan of vitamin C serums and use them in my daily skin care routine. I don't know how I went a day without them before last year!

This is the Imbue Naturals Organic Recipe 20% Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin E + Amino Complex serum. You can purchase it on amazon.com for $20.95 with Prime shipping. This is a very comparable price to other vitamin C serum brands.

It has a nice pump to help apply the serum. Only 1 pump will have you on your way to radiant beautiful skin, faded age spots/scars/wrinkles. It makes your face feel firm! I love that feeling.

AirComfy Travel Pillow review

Going on a trip soon? It is spring break time. If you are like me and get a little antsy in the passenger seat because it isn't always quite comfortable, then you might enjoy this product I have to share with you today. I was sent an AirComfy Travel Pillow through the Tomoson website for my honest review. I'm pretty excited to share it with you because this is right up my alley!

The AirComfy Travel Pillow comes in a nifty little carrying bag. It fits in there quite snug so I'm wondering if I'll be able to get it back in. I'm sure with a little work I'll do fine.

Here it is out of the bag and not inflated yet. (You can see the air valve). This is a great for carrying onto a plane. It doesn't take up much space and you can pull it out and inflate when you are ready! It is supposed to self inflate within seconds once you turn the nozzle to open. Maybe mine sat in the bag too long. I had to blow into the nozzle. It was quite quick and easy though, so no complaints.

This design allows for full neck support without making you feel claustrophobic like it's competitors whose sides encroach on your face. The material is also easy to clean. Just wipe with a damp cloth! Above is how the pillow looks fully inflated.

Worried about the pillow slipping while you snooze in the car? Don't worry, they thought about that as well!

Straps on the back of the pillow allow for you to strap the pillow to the head rest of your choice. :)

I don't know about you. . . but this pillow gives me more ideas. I think I might use it for a bubble bath pillow when I'm not traveling. HA!

If you are interested in purchasing this product you can purchase it on Amazon for only $19.99! (PLUS PRIME!)

Adovia Dead Sea Bath Salts

Getting ready to sell a house is a lot of stress and a lot of work. The past 2 weeks have been super busy that between work and getting ready to list our house at home, we've hardly had time to ourselves. This is why I am so thankful for having received Adovia Dead Sea Bath Salts from Adovia and Tomoson to review for you! Talk about relaxing!!!

These bath salts are a fine grain to help with faster dissolving time. They are also packaged in a resealable bag.


The bath salts are said to provide relief from Psoriasis, Eczema, and Arthritis symptoms. While I do not having any of these symptoms I did highly benefit from soaking in a nice hot bath with these. My skin was left feeling silky smooth and I was relaxed and ready for another day.



With the price of a 1.75 lb bag only being $11.95 through amazon, how can you say no!? (Especially if you have PRIME!)

Peppermint Essential Oil Review/Giveaway

If you remember from my last blog post I mentioned that I've been playing around recently with some essential oils. One of the scents I've been working with is this Peppermint Essential Oil by La Lune Naturals.


This is a 100% pure and natural therapeutic grade essential oil. It's packaged in the United States and the company adds no fillers/additives. Shipping is fast especially if you order through Amazon Prime. You can also order directly from their website: La Lune Naturals.

You get a 4 fluid ounce glass bottle with a high quality glass dropper. The company also emails you a PDF of different ways you can use your peppermint oil.


I used mine in a few ways. #1: soaked it into some bath salts to enjoy a nice relaxing bath. We are getting ready to sell our house and it can be quite hectic. This peppermint oil was a nice addition.



The second way I used my peppermint oil was something I had been wanting to try for quite a while. I put a few drops onto the inside of oil toilet paper rolls, letting it soak into the cardboard. Every time someone uses the toilet paper our bathroom smells amazingly minty! (Please note to only add a drop or two. . . if the oils soak through to the toilet paper it may cause irritation. . . remember it is 100% therapeutic grade).

Want one of your own? It is available on Amazon for only $14.99 or you can try to win through a contest on my facebook page!

Lemon Essential Oil Review

I've been playing around recently with some essential oils. One of the scents I've been working with is this Lemon Essential Oil by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals.

This is a 100% pure and natural therapeutic grade essential oil. Meaning, you should mix it with some carrier oils if you plan on using it anywhere near your skin. For the purposes of this review however, I stuck to non-skin contact.

One of the things I tried out was adding a little scent booster to some potpourri that had needed a little help due to faded smell.

This worked fabulously and made my whole house smell like lemon. Be advised to only use a few drops though. They go a long way and are pretty potent! Smelled nice and "clean" though!

I also dropped a few drops into my garbage disposal to freshen it up.

There are many other uses you can use this essential oil for: cleaning, mixing in with bath salts, soap making etc. The possibilities are endless!


This company ships fast and you can order through Amazon. If you have Prime . . . even better!! This product is currently marked down to $14.50 so grab it while you can! :)

Dot Dot Packing Cube

I can't believe I forgot to post this review! It's been super busy over here with school and the holidays!

If you are looking for a nifty packing organizer look no further! I have a fun colored, durable packing cube for you to see today!

It came just in time for our trip to Georgia.  :)

Yes I'm using mine for vitamins and medicine. . . don't judge! :-P You can use it for whatever you would like though.  

This product is perfect for keeping things neatly organized and separate from other things you have packed.  

It fits nicely in our duffle don't you think? 

I LOVE this product. It comes in such fun colors. I obviously ordered the red (wouldn't want it to be too girly for the hubby).  I love anything that can keep me more organized.  This is the perfect size to pack and put into your suitcase for long or short trips.  The material seems very durable and will hopefully last us a long time.  It is really tempting to buy more. :)

It is only $10 on Amazon!

Leather Nova Cleaner and Conditioner/Restorer review

I don't normally post reviews like this but when I saw the opportunity to try out this product I jumped at it.  I had been looking for a good leather cleaner for our living room furniture.  I had tried leather wipes and other products from local stores like Target etc. Nothing really seemed to work very well.  (P.S. We have cream colored leather couches).

These products each came with their own applicators.  I don't have them pictured because. . . well they look pretty dirty now. :-P I'm actually somewhat embarrassed to post these next few pictures.  

This is the most used chair in our livingroom.  As you can see. . . it is not so pretty. . . or cream in this picture.  Trust me . . . we had tried many things and they were not working.

This is the difference a little bit of scrubbing with the cleaner and then conditioner got me.  HUGE difference.  I am super impressed with these products.

The only complaint I have is for myself.  I got a little over zealous with the conditioner after cleaning the chair. . . and the chair felt like a greasy mess.  (I used WAY more than recommended though. . . but it looked so good and shiny! I love shiny.  We couldn't sit on it for a day or two hehe).


The cleaner is said to work on:

• purses 
• sofas
• car care
• shoes 
• saddles
• jackets 
• etc

The conditioner is said to work on the same things AND works as a water, snow and rain repellant. 

Both are made in the USA and comes with a 365- day money back guarantee.  

If you are interested in purchasing these products you can purchase on Amazon (linked below): 

• Leather Cleaner  for $16.95
• Leather Conditioner and Restorer for $15.97

Petunia Skincare Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Life has been super busy for me as a new teacher but I DO have a new product to share for you tonight. This is another hyaluronic acid serum.

The Petunia Skincare Hyaluronic acid serum comes in a 1 fl oz (30 mL) container with a pump applicator.  A little bit will go a long way with this one and will be sure to last you a long time.  I used about 2 pumps to cover my face and neck.

This hyaluronic acid is on par with others that I have tried. It does have a little bit of an aloe smell (or maybe cucumber. . . or maybe my nose is just off a little bit haha).  

It makes your face feel firm and smooth and gives it a bright youthful glow.  It's a really great product to apply in the morning before you moisturize and put on makeup.  (Also, at night time after makeup removal before bed!) 

This product can be purchased on Petuniaskincare.com for only $22.97!

InstaNatural Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Moisturizer Cream review

I have another face product to share with you today!  This product works as a moisturizer to give you a youthful, bright appearance and as an added benefit it is supposed to reduce acne and hyper pigmentation. (I suffer from neither of those and with this hopefully never will!)

I present to you:

InstaNatural Niacinamide Moisturizer! 

This product comes in a 2 fl oz (60 mL) container and has a pump for easy application.  You only need the size of a pea to cover your whole face!  This will surely last quite a while! 

(This is one pump!) Your face will feel soft and moisturized after application.  You will know if you applied too much because it will make your face feel like it has a mask on it (I know. . .I didn't follow the directions for my first application. Dun dun dun. . .) If you use the recommended amount then your face should feel normal/light. 

This serum is packed full of wonderful nutrients for you skin such as: Vitamin B3, Aloe Vera, Avocado Oil, and Hyaluronic Acid. 

If you are interested in purchasing this product you can buy it on amazon for only $16.75 right now!  This is a great deal! If you are not satisfied this product has a lifetime money back guarantee.  What's to lose? :)

Barefaced Mud Mask review

Popping in to say hello and post a little review! Things have been super busy recently since I was hired on as a full time teacher right before school started. If you have been wondering where I have been then there's your answer! ;)

I have another mud mask to share with you tonight! This product was such a nice treat after a LONG day! (Picture day, etc).

The Barefaced Mud Mask comes in a 6 oz container and will last you quite some time since a little bit goes a long way. The recommended usage is once a week. If you are feeling a little more indulging you can use it more.  

Directions say to massage onto your face and neck (I just did my face) avoiding the eye and lip areas.  Once applied, let sit for 15 minutes so it can dry and work it's magic.  It goes on a slightly greenish color and smells quite nice with a minty fragrance and a slight tingle on your skin. 

The mud mask dries to a more of a brown color. It really makes your face feel tight and firm! 

After you let the mask dry you just wash it off with warm water! Ta da! 

Your face will be smooth, firm and brighter! 

The following in italics is taken from the products listing off of amazon: 

• Barefaced Dead Sea Mud is a 100% natural facial mask boosted with certified organic ingredients. Completely free from parabens and harsh chemicals, you can give your skin a truly natural beauty treatment, letting you spend less time worrying about what you're putting onto your skin.
• Dead Sea Mud is one of Mother Nature's secrets that simply just works. Join millions and enjoy its natural skin brightening and healing clay properties. Reap the amazing benefits from this completely natural solution from the earth, and enjoy the best skin possible.

I always love to find products that are 100% natural.  It's nice to know exactly what you are applying to your skin.

If you would like to purchase this product, it is available on amazon.com for only: $24.98.

Again, this product will last you for a long time.  30-40 masks! They also offer a 100% guarantee if you are not satisfied.

La Deessa Vitamin C serum review

I have another Vitamin C serum product to share with you today! This one is by the company La Deessa.  It is not only vitamin c serum but also has hyaluronic acid, advance amino complex and organic aloe.

The La Deessa product comes in a 1 fl oz (30 mL) glass container with a dropper for an applicator.  Like other vitamin c serums, this one is also pretty liquid-y.  A little bit will go a long way with this one as well. Unless you are clumsy like me and knock half of it over on your bathroom counter. (boo :*( I'm sad!)

This product helps your skin feel smooth, firm and look healthy.  It helps combat fine lines and wrinkles. I'm really sad that a lot of this product was lost to my counter because I really am enjoying it.

Just one dropper full will be enough to cover your whole face and the top of your neck.  

You can purchase this product on amazon for only $19.95.  This is very comparable to other vitamin C serums.  Remember when you are shopping around that this product also has those extra added ingredients which make it unique!
