Neocell Biotin Bursts Review

Currently a part of my daily health regimen are these beauty fruity tropical sweet berry/grape antioxidant nutrients by NeoCell that support healthy hair, lashes, brows, & skin from the inside out :-) A much better alternative to pills in my opinion.  They taste kind of like Starbursts, only Acai Berry, a healthier version candy.  Being on a strict diet, I look forward to taking them! (Only 20 cals each) They make a good everyday healthy treat/snack throughout the day! They contain no soy, gluten, palm oil or artificial flavors.  I have previously tried Biotin in a pill (won't disclose any brand names) & gotten a bad skin reaction and upset stomach but thankfully not with NeoCell!  I can get my daily dose with no problem at all - which is important!

As far as the aftertaste of the Biotin Bursts, there wasn't any, which I must admit that I was a bit concerned with at first.  Each one is individually wrapped in foil, making it easy to take and bring on-the-go.  I always look my best when taking them.  I do notice the difference when I skip days, so consistency is key when it comes to these, just like with any supplement out there! Like NeoCell's other collagen products (which they are known for), the Biotin chewables helps prevent radical damage, produces/maintains collagen which in turn betters your complexion that is goals! If you have hair fallout/balding/breakage (from an illness like I had) or trying to grow your nails (men or women), maybe try to fill in the nutritional deficiencies, by taking one a day of NeoCell's Biotin to see an improvement.

All-in-one solution to prevent hair thinning, lines, and broken/weak nails.  Works best when taken in conjunction with plenty of water and healthy good meals! Also aids in energy! New growth and change

Upping my Biotin intake, worked well for me.

Note: Don't expect immediate overnight results.  Things take time.

Con: Maybe too sugary for Diabetics (3 grams)

Audel Naturals Review

Audel Naturals = Pure, natural, & high-quality ingredients

Arnica Lotion: Arnica Lotion is 1 of those multi-functional/purpose things I need in my everyday, daily life! Every once in a while, I get leg/joint/muscle pain & it's frustrating because nothing seems to work except for pain-killers :-/ But fully knowing that they're addicting & not good to rely on (long-term), I had to find a much healthier, safer, natural alternative/solution/relief, hence when Arnica Lotion came to my rescue lol! Topical Arnica Lotion like Audel Naturals comes in handy & is a worthy investment! It's quite effective & works pretty fast! Also very soothing, calming, & healing.  Even helps with bruises, soreness, swelling, acne, bumps, irritation, inflammation, rashes, circulation, insect bites, back pain, cartilage pain, carpel tunnel, & hair growth! There are no bad chemicals, artificial preservatives, fragrances, colors, gluten, or parabens as everything is organic & cruelty-free :-) The main active quality, skin-loving ingredients are: Arnica, Aloe, Vitamin E, Glucosamine, MSM, Glycerin, Sweet Almond Oil, Green Tea Extract, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Liposome, Safflower Seed Oil - which all help improve my skin while moisturizing it at the same time! What can't Arnica do?

Will def. be adding to my self-care & first-aid kit.

Fun fact: Did you know that Arnica was used for traditional medicinal purposes in the past (1500s)?

Important note: Contact your health care provider prior to use!

Con: Using too much can be toxic & completely do the opposite.  Only a small amount is needed!

*I received this product in exchange for my honest review.  My opinions are my own.* 



100% Pure Peppermint Oil: Another must-have for everyday emergencies! Like lavender, peppermint is my go-to flavor.  It's minty-fresh, cooling, clean, uplifting/therapeutic, & anti-bacterial/fungal/parasitic.  With that said, I am trying to incorporate it more into my home-cleaning, beauty & health care routine.  Also can be added to a humidifier, diffuser, air-freshener, & facial steamer.  It's a natural household cleaner without the harmful chemicals.  Lasts quite a while as a few drops goes a long way.  There are just so many uses & benefits to peppermint! Just like Arnica Lotion, Peppermint Oil goes way back and has a history of medicinal uses.  It helps w/ stress, tummy/digestive issues, congestion, muscle soreness, headaches, sore throats, fevers, colds/coughs, flu, constipation/IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), bad breath, hair loss, respiratory problems, heart burn, acne, inflammation, itchiness, & low energy! All-in-one.  I like to carry Audel's Peppermint Oil around my purse! You can use it topically or orally but warning: it is strong/concentrated, so consult with health care provider beforehand!

Peppermint Oil like Audel's even keeps pests away.  A staple in my medicine cabinet for sure!

Cons:

-Strong/concentrated
-Not for pets
-Consult your Doctor/Health care provider before use! (esp. if you're pregnant, nursing, around children or taking any medications)

Orange Oil (for topical use): Another natural pain relief oil w/ lots of benefits! Audel's Orange Oil (AKA natural anti-depressant) has a citrusy, energizing aroma & is high in Vitamin C.  It helps build collagen & improves blood flow! Again, just like the essential oils above, it's anti-inflammatory/septic/bacterial, mood lifting, and good for the immune system! A natural solution to infections, cold, allergies, coughs, E. coli bacteria prevention, headaches/fatigue, injuries, acne, redness/swelling, gum problems, arthritis, muscle spasms/cramps/sprains,  indigestion, constipation, high blood pressure, fighting tumors/cancer, abdominal pain & more.  When I get angry or anxious, I know this will help me big time as it's an instant pick-me-up! As for hormonal breakouts & acne marks, Orange Oil is a natural healing acne treatment that can help keep them away! It's one product that skin care routine has been missing.  Just a few drops (2-3) mixed with a cup of water and I have my own natural face wash.  It can also work as a good massage oil on the face, neck, & body (as it's a circulation booster), facial mask (mixed w/ honey), air-freshener (along w/ water in a spirtz bottle), kitchen cleaner (added in spirtz spray bottle along w/ water & other oils) as it has a very clean scent.  I'm looking forward to using it in the mornings to calm my nerves & brighten up my mood.  Pretty much goes well w/ any other oil!

It can be added to an infuser, diffuser (mixed w/ lavender oil), bath, or

Cons:

-May not suit sensitive skin.  Should do a skin test beforehand!
-Avoid sunlight or UV rays when using Orange Oil to prevent burns
-Just like some other oils, best not use alone (directly); Should be diluted (w/ water, coconut oil or jojoba oil)
-Not for those allergic to oranges (or citrus fruits)
-Interacts w/ other medications.  Must consult w/ a Doctor/Health care provider prior to use!

Veckle Umbrella Review

With Spring, comes rainy/gloomy/stormy days and I could sure use a good black umbrella like Veckle's that is easy to use & functions properly unlike the other easily broken ones that I used to own! Veckle's umbrella is windproof, water-proof, classic/sophisticated-looking, and can match pretty much anything I wear.  It has Teflon coating and pongee fabric - both good quality, strong material! With a touch of a button, it can open/close automatically.  A very useful/convenient, interesting and easy-to-use product!

My favorite features about this umbrella is the non-slip grip handle, safe lock design and fluorescent/reflective lining, which will come in handy for travels, going to work, & dark evening/night walks.  Plus, it is large enough to keep me & everything I'm carrying dry.  A reliable umbrella likes this one makes it much easier to run errands or go to work on wet days.  Sometimes, I like to keep mine in the glove compartment just incase of unexpected wind & downpours! 

All in all, certainly a useful gift for a man, kid, or woman in your life! If you don't live in a sunny climate, this is a must-have/staple! We tend to forget until the very last minute just how important a functional, sturdy umbrella really is, so to me, it's definitely worth the splurge/investment! 

Yay to no more getting stucked/soaked in the process of closing an umbrella anymore :-) This solves the problems.

Con: Cover pouch is a bit small

Hair Phix Hair Masque Review

Every now & then, I like to pamper myself and try out new vegan & cruelty-free hair care products, so I decided to give Hair Phix Hair Masque a go! It's an at-home hair treatment that contains the key good ingredients: essential fatty acids, amino acids, essential oils & 100% organic GMO-free plant stem cells! All helps to repair scalp cell damage (from the plant stem cells), strengthen, hydrate & soften damaged hair from hot tools, chemicals from products/treatments as well as environmental factors! 

Hair Phix Hair Masque smells fresh and fruity (like a mix of avocado, coconut & kiwi to be specific).  It has an oily yet creamy-like thick consistency - perfect for thick long hair folks like myself.  It gets in there deep.  My hair felt instantly soft, smooth & moisturized after use.  Also aids in detangling! (so there's really no need to comb or brush your hair in the shower) It clearly does the job and feels good on! Since using it, I have noticed an improvement in the condition of my hair! It looks kind of more shiny/glossy and makes my hair color pop.  Results were beautiful! 

All in all, a good easy-to-use conditioning product or deep treatment that lasts quite a while! Leave it on for a while & then rinse, or just apply to hair, cover w/ a hat or cap and go to bed like I did.

It certainly is 1 home remedy for damaged hair as knots come out & is easier to manage.

Cons: Overdoing it can look greasy

Bright Zeal Review

Brighten up your room & mood with some decorative, glowy LED lighting like Bright Zeal's 'LOVE' sign :-) Pretty daily deco, energy-saving statement pieces for the garden, home (bookshelf, dresser, table), porch/patio/balcony, office, or store/studio you may own! Bright Zeal's LED light products are so versatile that they can literally be used anywhere, not just for home (but for anniversaries, weddings, parties/special events, photography) & as a standalone (as they are portable) - indoors or outdoors.  I think spreading love vibes & positivity is important, so they are 1 way to lift your spirit & others around you as well! (Let love shine, literally) 

Bright Zeal's unique LED lighting products are quick & easy to assemble!  Both the 'LOVE' & heart signs from this company comes with 2 AA batteries, on/off switch, 6 hr timer & keyhole slot/hook hole on the back to hang up on your wall.  They certainly add warmth to living spaces & makes you feel cozied up.  My favorite thing about them are that they are energy-efficient & automatic.  The lights stay on for 6 hrs, shut off for 18 hrs but then turn on again for 6 hrs & repeats! They're good for the climate/environment! I chose both (the 'LOVE' & heart sign) in the white finish design.  I feel like you can't go wrong with white.  It's a good color option when it comes to home decor & so is the color black! 

Another thing I like about Bright Zeal's products are that their LED bulbs do not burn, but rather stay cool - unlike the other bulbs out there.  Though, important to note that these bulbs be handled w/ care! They consume far less energy than incandescent bulbs, which is a big plus! & there's no need to worry about outlets or dealing w/ messy wires.

As for the tall candle lantern, it's a more rustic/vintage/antique/wood/edgy piece.  It's sturdy, automatic, energy-saving & wireless.  Perfect for a fall night & almost any occasion  - indoors or outdoors! It looks gorgeous on the tabletop or hanging wherever you please! Just like the LED lighting signs, it comes with batteries (3 AAA) & on/off timer that lights for 6 hrs, turns off for 18 hrs but then turns back on again for another 6 hrs).  What makes this candle lantern unique is not only the cross-cross design & top ring but that it is flameless, smoke-free, & BPA free - making it safe to use basically anywhere (around animals & kids).  I'm all about safety 1st, so this product does meet my standards.  There's less worries, mess & anxiety for me.  The candle is also housed in glass and looks like a real candle.  All in all, Zeal Lights truly makes everything fun & simple!  It creates a soothing, cozy and relaxing environment that is instantly comforting without any risk of fire.  

Minimalistic products that fit my lifestyle & add a unique touch!

All items were well packaged & true to photos!

Smoothies Cases Review

A clever concept! Perfect for on-the-go iPhone (6 & 7) users/owners! A 5 piece case bundle that features a glass screen protector, shockproof silicone inner shell, hard plastic outer shell, built-in kickstand cash/id/card-holder & wipes for your screen - all in one.  I really like the look of them & the beautiful color options! The rose gold & matte black Smoothies Cases I received kind of have a minimalist wallet-like appearance to them.  They're quite thin, sleek, lightweight (not heavy/bulky) but surprisingly seem sturdy.  They work well as a kick stand and are easy to use!  I try to go hands-free as often as possible so I like how I can just lay one of them anywhere in standing position for whenever I want to watch or read videos.

Another thing I like about these cases are the security they give! They're stable and serve like a wallet...ideal for traveling.  Everything I need is easily accessible and in one place.  They help keep everything organized & make life easier.  They arrived in perfect condition! No scratches.  The shockproof cases protects from dirt, water, dust, snow, drops/bumps, rain, and other tragedies/daily abuses, another plus!  I feel like a good cell phone case is a worthy investment! After all, Makes a good gift for each member of your family!

All in all, a handy, convenient, & useful product :-)

Con: Not for other smartphones :-( (Designed for iPhones)

Shinespark Polish Review

Suitable name for the brand.  I am impressed w/ these quality polishes :-) They're handmade, vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free & carcinogen-free - which is VERY important as they do not form/cause cancer! Why use cancer-causing mainstream nail polishes when there's much safer alternatives/options out there like Shinespark? Makes no sense to me.  But anyways, these polishes do come in several different colors for you to choose from (neon, holographic, marvel duos, multichrome, or glitter bomb).  They're packed w/ glitter/shine, metallics and can be worn alone or layered over another color/polish (as a topper), whichever you prefer at the moment!

Below are a few of my favs from this brand thus far:

Rose Gold: My new favorite/go-to at the moment.  Beautiful rose gold finish! Just one application is good enough for my liking, though it says you can apply up to 3 times I believe! (Using less coats = Long-lasting polish).  It works better on me than most glitter nail polishes I have tried in the past.  No clumps, chunks or chips.  I forgot to use the clear coat w/ it, but it went on evenly & smoothly alone/by itself.  It lasted me for quite some time now, which is a plus! (But I do think it depends on how much you use your hands) As for whether it dries quickly or not, I do not know.  I have been using this nail polish drying hack: running wet nails under cold water to instantly dry them, so I can't give you an answer on that.  It's a perfect hack for when you're in a rush! It helps you get out the door faster! I suggest you try it out yourself to save a little time.  Shinespark Rose Gold polish looks elegant and is a feminine touch of festive sparkle to add during the fall/winter season.  It's 1 way to accessorize your outfits  The sparkly rose gold/copper metallic specks/flakies works well with ordinary plain, neutral colors! It really transforms your look without going too overboard.  Left this one on for more than I should have.  A unique shade for sure!

Multichrome Galaxy Cauldron: If you're like me and like anything galaxy related, you just might like Shinespark Multichrome Galaxy Cauldron nail polish! Pretty much galaxy on your fingertips.  A color shifting polish that changes depending on the light, angle or the way your fingers/toes are positioned.  The multi-dimensional colors are well-pigmented and may appear/look red, fuschia/purple, orange or blue.  In the sunlight, they're glittery & shimmery.  Def. fun to gaze at! Site mentions to use a black polish as a base coat 1st but I have tried it solo using 2 coats only & that works too! Unlike the Rose Gold one, this Multichrome Galaxy Cauldron comes up strongly on the 2nd stroke/application rather than the first try (as it looks kind of sheer).  So far it's been more than a week, & this polish has stayed on well! The shine is still there and all.  Typically, regular nail polish would last me about 3 days max, but this one seems to hold up.  Irridescent, foiled, sparkles/shimmers throughout...a fun color to work with!

Sagittarius Galaxy: Yet another multichrome finish! This color is a little more deep/dramatic & robust in comparison to the other Shinespark polishes I mentioned above, which sets it apart.  Purple being one of my favorite colors, I had to alternate between the other two.  It's 1 of 5 polishes that are part of the Galaxy Holo Flake collection.  Perfect for the fall time! What's unique about this one is that the tiny glitter bits look like stars against the dark night sky.  It turns different colors (pink, red, orange & gold) at different angles/lighting.  Good coverage! A cool, beautiful effect w/ little effort!

Overall, I personally prefer these polishes over the ones offered at the salon! There is no need for base colors, making my nail routine quick & easy.

P.S. Nail polishes were packaged up nicely & color descriptions are accurate!

Cons:

-Obviously must like sparkles/shine/glitter lol, otherwise this is not for you

KRONKY.NET Online Store Lilly Crossbody Bag Review

First off, I'm liking the decorative flowers, pearls, chain details/strap & color combo :-) It feels vintage & ladylike.  Truly a classic, unique, petite, lightweight yet plump crossbody bag to add to your wardrobe! I appreciate the high-quality craftsmanship! It seems to be well-sturdy & built to last! Nothing was broken.  Perfect for just about any occasion! (weddings, trips/vacations, parties, adventures, errands, shopping, hanging out w/ friends, etc.) I know I will be taking it out.  It's one of  those bags that can transition from day-to-evening - which makes it functional, handy & convenient.

I was kind of worried at 1st that the straps would be short for me, but turns out it fits well/comfortable and is easy to carry around! It can be worn across your body or on your shoulder.  It can also be carried by the top handles on a evening/night out (with the chain strap tucked inside) as an over-sized clutch, while the strap leaves your hands free! (for opening doors, checking e-mails on the go, shopping, making phone calls, holding tea/coffee or food, etc.) No worries about losing your belongings.  Fits all of my basic necessities (phone, keys, glasses & wallet) in the interior zippered compartment and a few other things.

Crossbody bags like Lilly are a wardrobe must-have accessory! When I'm in a rush, I need something that I can just throw on and go, & this accessory sure does make it easy on me.  A crossbody bag like this one gives any outfit a classic touch.  It does not seem like it will get ruined anytime soon, which is a big plus.  I don't know about you, but when I invest in something (even a purse), I think long-term, and always ask myself "Will it last?," so it's a relief knowing that I'm saving money.  Lilly bag is made from PU Leather material & features a smooth front flap w/ a twist/turn lock buckle closure, which keeps everything secure.  It's easy to open (no complications) and even comes w/ a dust bag for protection.

Overall, it's certainly a dupe for a luxury brand (draws inspo from high-end designs).  It looks royal/luxe.  You would think it's a high-end designer Gucci or Chanel Bag.  Quite impressive!

Note: Comes in pink & white as well!

P.S.  Makes a useful, elegant gift & true to the photos/description!
