Random Reviews and Easy DIY

I was able to try some more amazing products from InstaNatural this time the Argan Oil Hair Mask, Argan Oil, and Age Defying Skin Clearing Serum. The primary product to reveiw was the Hair Mask, but I tried the Skin Clearing Serum first. I had seen the Skin Clearing Serum and having used their other serums I was super excited about this. I finally got around to trying the Hair Mask this evening. The Hair Mask is a bit of a pain to use because you have to put it on clean towel dried hair and leave it on for 5-15 minutes. I'm not sure about everyone else, but this doesn't seem like a super user friendly method, once I grab a towel I'm drying off and done with my shower. I decided to just wring out my hair with my hands removing excess moisture and apply the mask and soak in the tub for a bit while it soaked in. I rinsed and just let my hair air dry. Several hours later now that my hair is dry it does feel extra soft and I only used the Hair Mask no conditioner. The ...

I love exfoliating it is by far one of the best thing you can do for your skin. I was pretty excited to find out I was selected to try a new exfoliating tool called Exfolimate. It was a bit difficult to find out much about Exfolimate prior to receiving it, I did finally find a video that explained a bit more, but still wasn't thorough so I still didn't know exactly what to expect. I just waited for the package to arrive. The day comes when my Exfolimate arrives in the mail, I open it and see to odd looking triangular objects one smaller one and one larger one. The small one is for your face and the larger for your body. There a stainless steel blade (not sharp, but for lack of a better term this is what I'm referring to it as one side and the rest is plastic. I read the instructions and you basically just apply light pressure and run it across wet skin. I decide to give these odd things a try that evening. I use the one for body in the bath, and really can't t...

I was chosen once again to review some great products from InstaNatural. This time I am reviewing the Vitamin C Moisturizer from InstaNatural. Since I was have been using other products from InstaNatural, I stopped using those to try the Vitamin C Moisturizer and Serum. The first thing I noticed about the Vitamin C line of products is that they have a nice citrus smell. The Vitamin C Moisturizer and Serum also have other ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid and Plant Stem Cells. The Vitamin C Serum seems to require less than the other serums to get full coverage. Since using the Vitamin C products I've noticed less dryness and more even skin tone. While I really enjoy the Vitamin C products I have experimented with them along with my other InstaNatural products and really like using one the Vitamin C with the Retinol line. I either use the Retinol Serum and Vitamin C moisturizer or the Vitmian C Serum with the Retinol Moisturizer. Be sure to visit http://instanatur...

I was selected again to review more great products from InstaNatural. This time I am trying the Retinol Moisturizer and Serum. I think these may be my favorite products from InstaNatural yet. To be able to give these a fair review since I had been trying other products from InstaNatural, I stopped using all but the Vitamin C Toner and the Youth Express Eye Serum. I tried the Retinol Serum first since it is recommended to use serum before moisturizer. In addition to Retinol, this serum also has vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and fruit and plant acids. This serum has a very fruity scent to it that is quite pleasant. I like this serum more than the hyaluronic acid serum, I feel it working when I apply it. In addition to the Retinol Serum I am also trying the Instanatural Retinol Moisturizer. This moisturizer is very moisturizing and is full of great ingredients. In addition to the Retinol, it has vitamin c, hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, shea butter, and green tea. The Retinol mo...

I wanted a corner banquette in my eat in kitchen,but couldn't find anything I really liked. I decided to look into making one myself, after doing some research I chose to use the Ikea Kallax Shelving/Cubbie. The dimensions work really well for the space I have in my kitchen too. I chose to buiild my base first, so I could get accurate measurements to purchase your materials. Here are the materials you will need to make your cushion. Plywood- cut to size of your bench (Home Depot and Lowes can cut to size for free) I used 1/2 inch Foam- I used 2 inch (buy at any craft store, check for sales and coupons, foam isn't cheap) Quiters Batting- this is nice because it will hold together the foam and wood, and cover the bottom of the wood so you don't scratch your bench. Fabric- I was able to cover both benches with 2 yards of 54" wide fabric (my bench is 57.75" X 15.5") Tools: Staple Gun Hammer- for any staples that don't go in all the way Flat Head...

I received my very first #VoxBox from Influenster today full of awesome products for me to try for free. I was at home when the mail arrived today, and I heard the mail get put in the box, but I also heard more than just the mail being put in the box. My first thought was it must be my #FrostyVoxBox. I jumped up to check the mail and sure enough there it was my first #VoxBox. Thank you Influenster for involving me in this campaign. Since I did just get the #FrostyVoxBox today, I haven't had a chance to try everything, it is packed full of some really great stuff. I immediately opened my #FrostyVoxBox, I had already seen the preview on Instagram of what awaited me, but I was still excited to see everything in person. Here's the lsit of products that are in the #FrostyVoxBox. Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover #Rimmel @RimmelLondonUS Rimmel ScandalEyes Waterproof Liner #Rimmel @RimmelLondonUS NYC Colorlast Lip Color Sugar Plum @NYCNewYokColor #SugarPlum Celestial Seaso...

I've already tried a few products from InstaNatural and have loved them. I recently received a couple more products to try from InstaNatural. This time the Cellulite Cream with Caffeine and Retinol and the Youth Express Age Defying moisturizer. I've already been using some of the other products in the InstaNatural skincare lineup so I added the Youth Express Age Defying moisturizer into that routine. The previous skincare products didn't include an actual moisturizer and while the Hyaluronic Acid Serum is moisturizing, it wasn't quite enough for how dry my skin can get over the winter. I've been using the Youth Express Age Defying moisturizer for several days now, and absolutely love it, it's very moisturizing without being too heavy. The other product I received is the Cellulite Cream with Caffeine and Retinol. The cream is very thick and is also very moisturizing. I think I need to use it a bit longer to tell if there will be results. Results or...
