I was fortunate in highschool, my skin never broke out very badly. Now, however I have a lot of red spots and breakouts! I feel very self conscious and I've tried so many face washes, different moisturizers, and even prescribed medicine and nothing has had dramatic results. This Dead Sea Mud Mask has helped my skin a lot! I've used a few face masks in the past, but never a mud mask. It feels great on my face and it washes off easily. After only having it applied for 10-15 minutes my face felt soft and didn't have as many red spots. Although not all of my acne has disappeared it has helped reduce it. Because this is a mud mask it doesn't smell the greatest, but it's so worth it! 
This 6 oz jar is $24.77 on Amazon and will last! I have used it multiple times since receiving it in the mail and you can hardly tell by looking at the jar! This is a great facial mask to help improve your skin's appearance or for a relaxing treatment. With the purchase of this jar you'll also receive a free e-book guiding you into a facial skin routine that is suitable for your skin type.

I receive these bottles to test out and review and I love these travel bottles by Dot & Dot.  They are the perfect size and fun colors! Now when I go traveling I can take the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash I use at home with me. It's cheaper than buying the travel sized items in big box stores and I am able to use a brand I prefer. I like that it comes in a set of 4 and even in a clear travel bag! Not only are these BPA free, but they are also TSA approved! These bottles don't leak and also have a circle on them in which you can write the contents are! These cute bottles are $21.97 on Amazon and are great quality! Easy to rinse out and reuse and will save you money instead of buying new travel sized items each time you go on a trip you can just fill the bottles with your hygiene products at home!

Good by lotion, Hello fractionated coconut oil! This stuff is amazing, seriously! First of all, it doesn't expire for five years, giving you plenty of time to use this large bottle up! This coconut oil has many different uses, but I mainly use it to moisturize my skin. I love that this doesn't have a scent and is hypoallergenic. I am very sensitive to many lotions (fragranced or not) and sometimes break out in large itchy welts. It's very frustrating and miserable. I was given this bottle to review and decided to try it as a skin moisturizer and my skin hasn't had any bad reactions to it. It blends in easily and leaves my skin with a nice dewy glow, which will perfect for the Spring/Summer time when I wear tank tops and shorts! The one thing you need to be careful of when using this fractionated coconut oil is that it a little goes a long way, but it comes out very fast. My skin is just as hydrated at night as when I put the coconut oil on in the morning. Most lotions I use I have to reapply over and over. This huge is only $14.45 on Amazon. Not only will it save you money over lotion, but it's better for your skin!

I was very interested to try this Organic Masoor Dal by Jiva Organics, because I love trying new and different foods and recipes. These lentils are very common in authentic Indian dishes. Cooking them is very easy. Two cups water for every one cup of lentils (just like rice) and boil. It's easy to know when they are done cooking, because they split and expand. They have a bold smell while cooking and a bold taste, making an easy and tasty meal. I like how you can use a variety of recipes with this Masoor Dal. Whether it be something simple, like adding a few spices or and authentic Indian dish with browned tomatoes and onions. I have yet to try a more complex Indian recipe, but I like the taste of these with a tiny bit of curry added. I love how much protein this Masoor Dal has! Making it a great new ingredient into our household's diet. A 2 lb bag of this Organic Masoor Dal is only $9.99 on Amazon and I encourage you to give it a try if your looking to try a new recipe with great nutrition!

I love this hair brush set by Hair Symphony that was I given to review. First of all, I love that the detangling brush is black and pink (my favorite color combination) and the other brush is red and black (another favorite color combo of mine)! I have long, thick hair and brushing my hair can be a painful task! Sometimes I don't even want to mess with brushing, because I know it will hurt my head that I will pull my hair up in a bun on top of my head and leave it at that. This brush set helps me get all the tangles out of my hair in an easy non-painful way! The detangling brush helps me brush the gnarls out of my hair after I take a shower without pulling and the regular brush is a key to brushing my hair when I'm styling it. These are great quality brushes, better than others you would buy in stores. This set is $18.85 on Amazon. A great price for two brushes and a nice travel cosmetics bag. The free cosmetics bag they send with the brushes also is great for storing the brushes when your not using them. What a fun extra! I love these brushes! Thank you Hair Symphony for allowing me to brush my hair without wincing in pain!

My husband and I both eat healthy and workout on a regular basis. His goal is to bulk up in muscle while my goal is a lean and toned body. Both of these goals require a significant amount of protein and while you can get protein from meats and other foods, sometimes you still need a little extra. Whey Protein Isolate not only tastes great, but also provides you with that extra protein you need. I love these 100% Whey Protein Isolate packets, because they are the perfect single serving size and taste great! I also don't find myself craving ice-cream and other junk foods of the sort, because this protein isolate tastes like a vanilla milkshake! It easy blends with water in a blender shake cup it turns to a smooth consistently, unlike some other protein varieties that end up tasting chalky. I also LOVE that this protein isolate is lactose-free! This is great for individuals, like me, that are lactose sensitive. I would defiantly recommend this Whey Protein Isolate! They come in a set of 3 packs on Amazon for $7.99 with free shipping! A great price for handy, great-tasting single packets. There are two flavors available: Natural Alpine Vanilla and Natural Dutch Chocolate. I want to try the Chocolate flavor next after my husband and I are done fighting over the last Vanilla packet!

This girl Sarah is my BFF and I'm so grateful to have her in my life! Not only is she there to vent to whenever I need, but she spoils my son like crazy! You know that saying "It's better to have a few true friends, then a lot of fake ones"? Well I couldn't agree more! Now that my husband and I moved across the country to Texas I'm glad I have at least one great friend! It's hard meeting girls my age when I'm a stay-at-home mom. Don't get me wrong I love staying home with my son and caring for him! He puts a smile on my face everyday! But sometimes us moms need a little girl time to sip a glass of wine and just chat. We met through out (now) husbands, because they work together in the Air Force. We both were moved to TX from MT, but never really hung out in MT. I guess because we both already had our "own" friends in that state and were impartial to meeting friends through our significant others. Now we look back jokingly say "how were we not friends"? I envy my husband, because when he relocates he is already welcomed with open arms to new friends and coworkers. For us spouses it can be a little more difficult to make friends and I suppose Sarah and started missing home so much we kind of relied on each other and now I can say she's one of the best friends I've ever had in my life, so thanks to my hubby (and his job) for bringing such a great person into my life!

I was so excited to be able to try this by Xtava for free in exchange for my opinion and I have very positive things to say about it! First of all, all the pieces come in a very nice storage bag and box. My first impression was that it was high quality! ..and I was not mistaken! This is the only curling iron I will need! No more having to buy 3-4 different ones to achieve different curl sizes! It's very simple to put together. Just pick out the curler piece you want to use, line it up with the base and push it in. The last step is to twist the unlock to lock on the base. This is very simple, because of the lock and unlock picture indicators. When you plug it in and slide the power on it doesn't take very long to warm up, which is a huge plus! Many hair curlers you have to wait 10 minutes for it to be hot enough to start styling. The curlers themselves curl my hair really nicely and the curls actually stay! This 5-1 curler is the awesome in every way and is only $39 on Amazon! What a great price for such a great quality styling tool! Most cheap, single curling irons you buy in store are $15-20 and don't even curl you hair as well! 

Konjac sponges are becoming more popular and I am a huge fan of them, because they really cleanse my face well. I was able to try this Japanese Konjac sponge in exchange for my opinion. I really love this facial sponge. The Green Tea extract infusion sets the sponge apart from other Konjac sponges helping clear my skin up. The sponge is easy to use, simply rinse and soak the dry sponge with warm water and wait for it to expand. Cleansing with this daily with your preferred cleanser on it really will help your skin! I've been using this for a few days now and my face feels so much more clean after I wash my skin with it and most of my pimples are starting to clear up! It is recommended to replace this sponge every 4-6 weeks. This Konjac sponge on Amazon for $11 which is a great price for how long it lasts and the benefits it has for your skin! 

My new favorite sunscreen! I received this tinted SPF 30 sunscreen in exchange for my review and I have very positive things to say about it! This Sun Si'belle sunscreen does have a scent to it, but I think it smells better than most other sunscreens. I love that this sunscreen isn't greasy! It applies like a lotion and moisturizes as well as protects without leaving you feeling sticky like normal sunscreens would. Another big WOW factor with this sunscreen is the tint! I am pretty pale and never tan so this tinted sunscreen gives my skin a nice glow-like tan appearance. The Texas sun is getting pretty warm and bright so my son and I are spending a lot more time outdoors during the day. This Sun Si'belle Tinted sunscreen keeps my skin well protected and looking great! If you want to pick up the best sunscreen out there before Spring/Summer come around click the button below!
