Elba n.4 - Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 30 Review

I have received a few different products from Elba Naturals and this is the fourth in their facial skin regimen (which is why it is labeled as Elba n.4). It is a daily moisturizer with a sunscreen that has SPF 30. 

I really like having a face moisturizer that already has the SPF 30 included so that is one less step / product I need when getting ready in the morning. It's not greasy and goes on like a cream which is great. I only need one pump to cover my face so even though you only get one oz a little does go a long way here.

Other great aspects of this product are:

• Natural and organic
• It contains beeswax and palm wax
• Cruelty free and not test on animals
• Made in the USA
• 100% money back guarantee for 180 days
• Great for sensitive skin

If you are interested in purchasing this product then head on over to Amazon because it is currently on sale for $24 (regularly priced at $90 so that's a savings of $66!!) While you are looking at this product I recommend checking out my reviews for the other Elba Naturals products I have reviewed as well.

Oleavine Neem Oil Review

I've decided to get into the more natural stuff lately. I have essential oils and really wanted different carrier oils for that so when I received the opportunity to review Oleavine Neem Oil I decided I wanted to jump on that because I could use it for so many different things.

Neem oil is a new hot trend for do-it-yourself hair and skin oils at home so I decided to mix it for my skin with lavender oil. I cannot stand the scent of the neem oil but when I add essential oils to it that helps. It is an acquired scent I suppose since it's very earthy and strong.

The most common uses for neem oil are:

• skincare
• DIY soap
• therapeutic body wash
• hair care
• DIY shampoos
• natural bug repellent
• pet care
• DIY skincare
• DIY shampoo

Popular benefits of neem oil include but are not limited to:

• antibacterial
• analgesic
• anti-inflammatory
• antimicrobial
• antiseptic

If you are interested in checking this product out and trying it then head on over to Amazon and purchase it for $15.95 while it's on sale.

Artisan Cooking Supply Silicone Baking Mat Review

It's a gross rainy day here in Charleston. When it came time for lunch I wanted something comforting and fun for my toddler to eat. We decided on homemade pigs in a blanket (hot dogs rolled up in biscuit dough). So I was pretty excited to try out my new Artisan Cooking Supply Silicone Baking Mat which I was sent to review. If after reading my review you are interested in ordering your own (which I do recommend!) then head on over to Amazon and get your own for $7.95

The mat is really easy to clean so I just ran it under some warm soapy water and then let it air dry before placing it on the cookie sheet. No need to use any cooking sprays since this is non-stick.

 

After they were done it was time for the ultimate test...did the pigs in a blanket stick to the silicone mat or did they come off with ease?

As you can see, they did not stick! They came right off and left no residue behind so clean up is a breeze...just use some soapy water, let them air dry, and they are ready for the next time you want to bake!

These baking mats are good to use anywhere from -40 to 450 degrees. It's safe to be used in the oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe! The edges also have measurements which makes rolling out food super easy.

Chalk Genie Liquid Chalk Markers Review

Happy Saturday! I hope all of my readers are staying dry today if you are on the East Coast like I am with all of this crazy rain!

I received the opportunity to order and review Chalk Genie Liquid Chalk Markers. I've seen a lot of Pinterest projects using chalk markers and wanted to try them but I just did not want to spend the money in case I didn't care for them. Chalk Genie sent me a four pack with four white markers which are great for using for window projects among businesses.

I decided to try them out on a little picture frame I have because it's fun to write little messages and then take photos on social media with the frame. We don't really need a reason to take selfies but this gives us one!

They are super easy to clean off too. I take a wet rag, wipe, let it dry, and BAM I have a fresh clean canvas all over again for my next project!

Check out my YouTube video here to see how I used the markers. And if you are interested in purchasing your own then head on over to Amazon and add them to your cart while they are on sale for $9.95!

Zahler Whey Protein Mix Review

My mornings are hectic. I'm usually running behind schedule and almost never have time to even think about breakfast. That's the life of most who work or are a parent...so let's combine that since I am a single working mom and just say the mornings are a tad crazy for me. Unfortunately, I am also that person that needs to eat or I am just mean. So that's just not a good combination if you think about it....a person with no time for breakfast who becomes mean when hungry. 

The best way I can combat this issue is tossing some protein mix with almond milk and fruit for a morning smoothie. So when I had the opportunity to try out Zahler's Whey Protein Meal Replacement Powder I jumped on it. I decided to order it in strawberry since I already have chocolate and vanilla in another brand. 

I mixed the strawberry protein powder with just almond milk for a simple shake. I wouldn't say it tasted bad but I honestly should have added a banana to the mixture because I don't care for plain protein powders in any brands (even my chocolate which I LOVE). So the normal person who enjoys protein mixes will definitely enjoy this. I will continue to use it in my smoothies but I will be sure to add banana and maybe another fruit to the mix.

The container says you can just mix it with a spoon but I am very lazy and just poured the ingredients into my single serving blender so it could do the work for me. 

I did a YouTube video showing the powder and how the drink looks after mixing which you can view here.

Limm Jump Rope Review and CONTEST!

I used to love jumping rope as a child. It was one of my favorite things to do in Physical Education (actually it was just about the only thing I liked about P.E.! haha) Naturally I had a million different types of jump ropes at home as well. Well, none of them were as awesome as the Limm Jump Rope. The quality of a simple braided rope just cannot compare to the Limm Jump Rope since it is made from a high quality rubber.

The length of the rope starts at 9.8 feet and is quickly and easily adjustable as you can see in the photo I got from their Amazon page. The handle unscrews allowing you to adjust the length of the rope.

The handles are also very soft and made from foam so you can grip them without it hurting the palm of your hand. The handles are also ball bearing which ensure that the rope turns without tangling.

I will be choosing one reader to receive their own Limm Jump Rope for free so if you are interested in entering please comment below! I will be choosing a winner Monday and reach out to you for your address so you can receive your free jump rope. If you want to gain additional entries to the contest then please send your friends here and they can comment with your name. The comment will earn them an entry and you one as well!

Hand Painted Wine Glass Review

 

I received a pair of beautiful wine glasses from Valentina Paris. They sell on Amazon and you can check their professional photos out for yourself here. The wine glasses are hand painted and mouth blown. The colors are absolutely beautiful. The design is 3D and you can feel it...I have honestly never seen such beautiful wine glasses before. 

Not only are they beautiful but they are HUGE! Seriously, I typically fill my glass halfway when I pour but I could not do that with this glass because I knew that would be the equivalent of more wine than I needed. 

These would make a beautiful addition to any wine connoisseur's collection and I highly recommend you invest in a pair. Whether you purchase to give as a gift or to keep at home to serve wine to guests you cannot go wrong with these glasses.
