Heat Holders Review

Heat Holders thermal fluffy knit socks may be one of the warmest socks I've tried.  They're made w/ heavy bulk yarn & are definitely a must-have for those cold winter days/nights/extreme weather temperatures.  Their thick/chunky, no slip bottom quality socks are insulated and provides warmth to get me through those cold days/nights (as my feet often gets cold and numb).  There is no need for layering socks, when you can slip these on.  Certainly makes a great gift for children, women & men (especially the homeless, those with an auto-immune disease & outdoor/indoor workers).  

Also, an emergency survival kit essential!

Cons:

-May not fit in your boots unless boots are spacey

-Avoid using the dryer to dry them.  Let socks air dry.

Other line of products by Heat Holders: 

Women's Microfleece Thermal Long Sleeve top

One of the first things that I've noticed about this thermal turtleneck piece is how surprisingly lightweight it is.  The material is quite soft, stretchy, & breathable (allowing moisture to escape).  Heat Holders microfleece thermal long sleeve top is comfortable & does not restrict movement.  It can be worn alone or as a thermal undershirt layering piece, offering protection from the cold winter/late autumn/spring months & outdoor activities.  The zip collar that comes along with it also provides warmth (around the neck area)- which is a plus.  A good idea to bring it with you to travel or workplace where there is air-conditioning.  It's a practical gift that many can appreciate and use everyday.  Essential winter piece to include in your closet, indeed.  Most sizes are available for everybody (extra small-extra large).  

Con:

If you expect this thermal layering piece to be thick, it is not.  Despite the material being soft & thin, it does bring warmth & comfort.

Women's Warm Thermal Underwear Long Sleeve Shirt/top

Another layering thermo piece by Heat Holders is their women's warm thermal underwear long sleeve shirt/top.  Soft & keeps me warm as well.  It comes in black, white, & grey colors.  What's unique about it is that it has a built in bra, so no bra is necessary.  Due to it's low neckline, many sweaters & hoodies can be paired w/ it.  Also, stretchy material like the microfleece thermal long sleeve top, but a more fitted look.  Good for daily use & a travel necessity. 

Con:

It's see-through, so I personally would not wear this alone, but rather as an undershirt as it was made for.

Nalani Botanics Coconut Mango Hydrating Cream Review

Another product I've been using lately by Nalani Botanics is the multi-purpose Coconut Mango Hydrating Cream.  It can be used on the face, hands, body, elbows, & is safe for children (as the ingredients are organic/all-natural/chemical free).  It has a tropical light fruity scent to it and is absorbent.  My skin eats it up.  It is packed with vitamins/minerals/antioxidants & left my skin feeling soft & smooth after one application.  At first, I was a bit skeptical that maybe it would leave my skin feeling somewhat sticky, but that was not the case.  I was impressed with the results. 

Having combination skin (sensitive, acne-prone & dry skin all at once) is frustrating & hard to find a product out there that you can trust & will not let you break out nor dry your skin out.  But I am thankful for Nalani Botanics for proving that there are better alternatives when it comes to skin-care needs.  I think the combination of thick Mango Butter & Coconut Oil is amazing!  It truly is the key to eliminating dry patches, itchiness & flare-ups/inflammation.  With just a tiny amount, and you'll be good to go.  From the 1st week of usage, post-shower, I could see that Nalani Botanics was a success.  I've also seen improvement in skin tone/texture and scars fade away. 

Nalani Botanics Coconut Mango Hydrating Cream thoroughly hydrates and moisturizes well.  When one thinks of mango, they think summer but I know that in the winter time, my skin will greatly benefit from this product as well.  Also Mango Butter assists in wound & scar healing-making it one good scar cream.  It could be used as an after sun moisturizer protecting you from UV rays.  There's just many uses.  Like the Lavender Body Butter, a little bit goes a long way.  I've been alternating between the two.

All in all-I recommend it to everyone.  

*I received product in exchange for my honest review.  Opinions are my own.*

Cons:

-Light fruity scent may not be for everybody

-Price point.  Although, it is a rare product made w/ quality homemade ingredients great for skin problems!

Nalani Botanics Lavender Body Butter Review

I don't know about you, but finding a good hydrating body moisturizer has always been a challenge for me, hence why I opted for body butter.  I've accepted the fact that nothing seemed to work for my dry, sensitive skin unless it was body butter.  & I didn't mean just any kind of body butter.  It has to be a really good fluffy nourishing chemical-free one, thick enough to combat rough flaky skin and take good care of it in the summer & harsh winter months.  After experimenting w/ many different ones, I was very grateful to have come across the whipped soft & luxe Nalani Botanics Lavender Body Butter.  It's just the product I've been searching for.  Not only does it have an amazing uplifting and calming aroma but it literally feels like butter. 

What first caught my eye about Nalani Botanics Lavender Body Butter are the carefully selected organic/all-natural ingredients (which I have listed below).  Certainly ingredients you can rely on.  None are harmful nor irritating-which is a relief because you know that your skin is getting fed the best.  I usually like to use post-showers, being in the sun for too long or before sleep at night.  It absorbs well, and I have noticed/felt a positive improvement in my skin's condition/texture right away.  There has been less inflammation, eczema spots & itchiness.  My skin has never been so soft or silky smooth.  A little bit of the jar indeed goes a long way.

Overall, it's truly an exceptional product.  My self-care/go-to must-have as of late.  I have been using it daily (during the day or night).  It doesn't compare to some of the big toxic brands out there.  The floral scent is lovely without being overbearing or too perfumey.  It's an all year kind of scent.  If I'm ever stressed I apply some on.  It's like an instant serotonin boost :) -which I find soothing, comforting & relaxing. However, I must note that if you're not into lavender or floral scents in general, then this product may not be for you.

Another thing about Nalani Botanic Lavender Body Butter-you could use it on your hair.  It's a much better, healthier & safer hair product to use long-term than ones available in stores.  Why put gunk in your hair when you don't have to? You are what you eat and that applies to your skin.

   

Ingredients: Organic Shea Butter, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Babassu Oil, Organic Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Calendula Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Arrowroot Powder, Organic Beeswax, Organic Witch Hazel Extract, Organic Sweet Lavandin Essential Oil, And Organic Raw Honey. 

Cons:

-If you're not into lavender or floral scents in general, then this product may not be for you.

-Price point.  Though keep this product is homemade & ingredients are pure.  Versatile as well.

Simple Addiction Boutique Harem Shorts Collaboration

New product launch alert for the warmer months...SA Exclusive Harem Shorts! A must-have Spring/Summer versatile piece to consider in your wardrobe closet :) One of the most softest, comfiest shorts I have received yet. They come w/ pockets to store accessories & are just the right fit (not too loose, not too tight). There is enough airflow & room for your hips/thighs/legs to breathe as the material is stretchy/lightweight (just like the leggings I have featured in my previous post). So no worries about them pinching your skin, or being too constricting as these shorts were certainly designed to stay put.

There are many easy, fun & different ways to style SA Exclusive Harem Shorts. They work well for day or evening looks. You can pair them w/ a pair of sneakers or dress them up with wedges or heels (depending on the look you're going for). I would even go as far as to mention that you could include them as basic wardrobe pieces since they are flexible and mix and match well. They come in solids and beautiful prints/patterns in all sizes. Just as pictured & described. 

Lastly, I should note that moms and women who are prone to bloating would appreciate the elastic waistband of these SA Exclusive Harem Shorts (as they do not squeeze your belly). They're like a hybrid between leggings & yoga pants. They could be used as travel shorts, or casual, pajama/loungewear (very ideal for working from home). You can even wear them to the beach. Talk about convenient. In conclusion, they're not your typical regular shorts. If you have a deep appreciation for airy, comfy clothes (like me), consider Simple Addiction Boutique.

DigiBuddha Paper + Gifts Review

Artsy well-constructed custom made tea or coffee (or for whatever beverage) cups made by professional artists/designers that are perfect for everyday & special tea parties :-) You can never have too much uplifting/inspirational/statement/motivational/fun quote mugs in my opinion to look at in the morning! It's certainly one good way to brighten up/start your day right & remind yourself that everything's going to be okay! Digibuddha Mugs are high-quality and ceramic with a glaze finish. Also are microwave & dishwasher-safe. They're unique in that they do not have stickers or decals attached like the other mugs out there, which makes them the real deal. You know the graphic print or lettering won't be peeling/coming off anytime soon. 

 DigiBuddha's creative Mugs make a cute long-lasting housewarming gift for loved ones! They're so many different designs and vibrant colors to choose from their collection. Their 'Plant Lady'Mug is by far my favorite to use being that I am a plant lover/vegetarian. Their floral one and "she promised herself better, and she never looked back "are beauties as well! They're currently an addition to my morning tea routine. At first glance, I was surprised at how solid and sturdy all of them were. They're a good size (bigger than I anticipated) and the handle grips easily, which is a plus! Snuggling w/ a blankie and a hot, cozy DigiBuddha mug drink in my hand is the life. 

 Along with the mugs, I received a beautiful artwork! A cute gold metallic on white sheet matte paper 'Bird on a Branch' Foil Art, which was all made by hand! Quite impressive if you ask me! The Gold Foil Art prints are also available in the colors silver or rose gold. Perfect to frame & hang on the wall! Shiny yet adds a fun,minimal touch to any room in the house. I was a little concerned about how it would arrive and if there would be any imperfections but safe to say everything was packaged very securely (in a flat cardboard envelope) & beautifully on time! No bents/scratches/damages, just perfection. I wouldn't say it's a thick poster but it sure makes a good display! Put it in a frame and you're all set. 

 P.S. Mugs can be used as a mini plant pot. 

 Cons: -Like any mug, be careful -Frames not included with Foil Art prints

Simple Addiction Boutique Leggings Collaboration

Leggings that are buttery soft to the touch? Yes, please :) Simple Addiction Boutique leggings are just that.  I'd say, it's what sets them apart from the other brands.  Not only are the leggings soft like butter but are lightweight, comfortable, fun, fit well & very affordable.  They do not sag or fall down (so there are no worries about that).  Everyday kind of leggings that are good for running errands, work, or simply relaxing at home w/ a long, over-sized shirt. 

Apart from women's leggings, Utah's Simple Addiction Boutique sells many other things-tops, bottoms, swimwear, dresses, shorts, skirts, shoes, jewelry, accessories, home stuff, as well as leggings & accessories for your little girl (so that the both of you can match lol).  There are a variety of patterns/styles to choose from that blend well w/ most wardrobe tops.  If you're a boutique shopper like me, you might want to check it out.  Boutiques (online/in-person) are some of the best places to go shopping, in my opinion, because the items there are usually exclusive, good quality & truly one-of-a-kind.  Rarely, you can find items sold in Boutiques anywhere else, so they are indeed rare finds & make unique gifts to your loved ones or yourself.  Also, I must say, it feels good to support small businesses rather than big retailers (especially during this pandemic/quarantine period). 

Another thing I'd like to mention is a cool feature on Simple Addiction Boutique's site: Outfit in a box.  It's almost like you can gift yourself or a loved one a box of put together outfits of your choice.  How cool and convenient! It kind of reminds me of those clothing subscription boxes that you get delivered right to your doorstep, except you know the deal on what you're getting.  So less disappointments & headaches.

All in all, for what you're getting (comfort, quality + affordability), I think that Simple Addiction Boutique's leggings are worth a try.  The last time I checked, I believe the lowest price of leggings on their website were available at $6.97.  Not bad if you ask me, considering that a lot of leggings in general are ridiculously overpriced & see-through nowadays :-(.  So if you're interested in versatile, & cute clothing available in every size to wear daily or for any occasion, then check out SAB's site here...https://simpleaddiction.com/
