Foxbrim Seaweed Complex Lotion Review

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ.

I received for review Foxbrim Seaweed Complex Lotion. This product is formulated to nourish, firm, and moisturize skin. It includes ingredients such as Blue Green Algae, Hyaluronic Acid, and Ocean minerals. This lotion is natural and organic.

First of all, I noticed the scent of this lotion. Although I have never seen an ocean (or smelled one) in person, this smells like an "Ocean Breeze" (or something along those lines) scented candle. It smells very pleasant and fresh. The scent doesn't linger a long time and it isn't over-powering or perfumey. I appreciate that in a lotion. Especially one that I use as a facial moisturizer as well. This is by far one of the best lotions/moisturizers I have tried out there. I say this because not only does it have a pleasant smell, but it absorbs within seconds and doesn't make your skin feel greasy! I love that. Once again, Foxbrim has made a quality product. I give it two thumbs up!

Organic Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Matcha Review

I received Organic Matcha Green Tea to review from KissMe Organics. This tea is organic and grown by a family owned farm in Japan. Matcha is rich in antioxidants and is beneficial to skin health. Consuming this tea can even give you a metabolism boost!

I am HUGE tea drinker and was very excited to receive this product. I was very impressed by the packaging this tea came in. To ensure freshness, they seal it in a can (with a pull tab top) and then the tea powder is even in a sealed pouch. I love that this tea is non-GMO and vegan. This was my first time using tea powder - I was surprised that such a small amount goes such a long way! It is such a beautiful mossy green. Most teas I drink without sweetener, but I actually prefer this one with a spoonful of honey - otherwise it tastes too vegetable-y to me. The honey compliments it well.

Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream & Age Defense Eye Cream by Body Merry Review

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ.

I received Body Merry's Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream and Age Defense Eye Cream to review. The products are natural and organic. They contain no harsh chemicals, are made in the USA, and they are cruelty free! I am always willing to try out any organic and cruelty free product, as those are qualities I value.

I enjoyed the Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream because a little goes a long way, and it absorbs quickly. I wasn't a fan of the scent - kind of reminded me of a cough drop. I suppose that is because this product contains menthol. BUT this product also contains ingredients like organic coconut oil and organic aloe - products I love to use. Even though I am not a fan of the scent, I like this product because it actually works! Within a few uses I could see a difference in my cellulite. I give this product 4/5 stars.

I loved the Age Defense Eye Cream because it goes on nice and smooth. Some eye products are too thick and leave me rubbing in the product for what seems like forever. Again with this product, a little truly does go a long way! This eye cream smells absolutely heavenly - kind of fruity, in my opinion. Almost instantly I noticed a difference in the appearance of my dark circles - this product rocks! I give it 5/5 stars.

Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter Review & GIVEAWAY

Beauty By Shea sent me this Raw Shea Butter to review. Shea butter is rich in vitamins which makes it the perfect skincare product. You can use this product as-is, or even make lotions out of it etc.

Maybe you can't tell, but my skin is smiling in this picture!! This shea butter rocks

I chose to use Beauty By Shea's Raw Shea Butter to make homemade lye soap with. My mom helped me make the soap - she has made her own soap for several years now. This product was easy to work with - it is nice and soft. I absolutely love how this organic shea butter made the soap turn out. It leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and rejuvenated. This Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter is awesome for your skin - and using it in my soap is great because store bought soaps are many times full of harsh chemicals that can leave your skin feeling dried out. This shea butter leaves my skin feeling moisturized and beautiful!

August PetBox - A Box of Surprises!

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ

This month I received my very first PetBox! I got the "dog" box. PetBox is a great monthly subscription service that delivers premium products right to your home each month. Items are from boutique suppliers, meaning that much of what you receive cannot be bought at a large pet store chain.

My dad likes to take our dogs for walks, so I was glad to see a couple great items that will come in handy for him. There is an Alcott Essential Adventure Bowl (a fold out travel bowl for water) and Clean Paws Doodie Bags (lemon scented and made with recycled plastic!). Both items are fully functional and very convenient.

Unscented Dry Shampoo by fordirtydogs - 100% natural!! First ingredient is Colloidal Oatmeal, and so it smells like oatmeal! I love that - and it is essential oil free, so you don't have to worry about it irritating your dog's skin

Pizza Party flavored treats by Be Pawsitive. These treats smell great!! Exactly like pizza, one of my favorite foods! These treats are organic, made in the USA, AND they have a "buy one, give one" policy - when you buy a bag of these treats, a bag is donated to a shelter. Isn't that wonderful?? And most of my dogs loved them!

Even my cats had fun with this PetBox for dogs - above you can see Mykah checking out the Piggy Twizzies dog chew and a Pawtastic Fleece Pet Toy.

August's PetBox did not disappoint! Tune in later this month for a closer look at some of these products. Starting next month I will be featuring their cat box on my blog - so cat lovers, stay tuned!!

Kur: The Scandinavian Bite-Size Bar REVIEW

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ

3 flavors: Coconut Cashew, Brownie, and Cacao Mint

Kur originated in Denmark - where organic laws are strict and GMOs are not allowed. They are dedicated to staying true to these high standards.

Kur sent me 3 of their date and nut bars to review. Each of their products contains 100% raw ingredients, have no added sweeteners or syrups, are gluten-free, contain no dairy or soy, no GMOs, no sodium, and no preservatives - the list of their awesomeness goes on and on!! They are even Kosher and USDA & EU Organic Certified. Wow! That is quite impressive.

My personal favorite was the brownie. Their are only 6 ingredients and they are all organic! I especially enjoyed this one because you could really taste the cinnamon in it, and I love that in a brownie.

The cacao mint one tasted yummy as well! This one has 7 ingredients. I liked that this one had a little bit more of a crunch to it than the other two did.

Now we come to the coconut cashew bar - this one only has 4 ingredients! I did not care for this one - it tasted like coconut milk, which is probably why I didn't like it. But if you enjoy coconut milk, then this is the snack for you!

What I loved about these date and nut bars is that even though they have no added sweetener or syrups, they are still sweet like a dessert should be - but these are special because they are a healthy dessert! I also like the fact that they are such a convenient size - you can easily throw a couple in your purse or pocket for later if you are in a hurry.  Also, they don't have a weird grainy texture like some health bars I have come across.

Check out all these awesome certifications listed on them - gluten free, vegan, GMO free etc.

Blue Green Organics Review

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ

I recently received to review some samples from Blue Green Organics. I was sent one bottle of Organic Light Blue Agave Nectar and one bottle of Organic Raw Blue Agave Nectar. Agave nectar is a wonderful thing - it can be used just like real sugars, but its lower glycemic index means that it doesn't have the health risks that are connected to higher glycemic sweeteners. Their Blue Agave Nectar is USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and all natural! It is even farmed in a sustainable manner.

I was very excited to try out this product, as it is comparable to honey (and who doesn't love honey?). This all natural sweetener did not disappoint. My entire family enjoyed these nectars. I prefer the raw version - I think that the taste is somewhat comparable to maple syrup. I used this nectar in my cereal, on peanut butter sandwiches, and on pancakes. I plan to use it in my tea even. There is no unpleasant after taste, and you can feel safe knowing it is GMO free.

Overall, I give these nectars 5/5 stars!

Raw Food Central Review

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ

Raw Food Central sent me some of their snack foods to review - Snack Mix, Onion Rings, Kale Chips, and Flax Crackers. Their snacks are organic, vegan, kosher, gluten free, and GMO free! And believe it or not, healthy snacks CAN taste good! Raw Food Central did not disappoint.

My favorite part about the Snack Mix was the peas - they had great flavor. So did the kale -seasoned to perfection! They are low calorie/low carb AND each serving has 33% of your Vitamin A. Here is one midnight snack you won't have to feel guilty over.

The Onion Rings - "never fried, never baked." Sadly, I was not a fan. Not surprising, as I have never been a fan of onions or onion rings. My brother loved them though! Here is a great treat for anyone who loves the taste of sweet onion - a great alternative to croutons on a healthy salad.

Now the Kale Chips - those were my mom's favorite! She loved how they are low carb AND have a great flavor. Actually, she enjoyed all these snacks - it is hard when you are on a low carb diet to find a variety of tasty low carb treats - so Raw Food Central is great for her. PLUS the Kale Chips are a great source of protein, calcium, and Vitamin A!

I thought that I would like the Flax Crackers the least - but I was so wrong! They are seasoned with Italian Seasonings and Celtic Sea Salt - so they pack a flavorful punch! And boy do I love the taste of garlic...I think I even prefer these to potato chips. They are a great source of protein, Vitamin C, and Iron. Perfect for dipping in guacamole, hummus, salsa, or my favorite - spinach dip! And so crunchy!

Check out their website to see what other products they offer and if they have a store near you. Soon you will be able to purchase these snacks straight from their website - my family is addicted, so we will certainly be purchasing when this feature is available.
