Art Naturals Peppermint Oil

Art Naturals Peppermint Oil
You can find it Here.



Art Naturals Peppermint Oil. I have a few different essential oils from this business to review for you. I am always skeptical of EO's until I have tried several oils from a company. You never know if you just got lucky once and got a good shipment.. or if you got an expired or sour batch. But, since the box this huge EO bottle was shipped in has the MFG and EXP date right on the front of the box, I was impressed to start. So it passes step 1. Step 2. Packaging. And that can mean anything from how it is packaged to any safety/freshness measures. Check! It was sent in a sturdy box and packed in bubble wrap. No leakage here. I recently did get a small bottle from another company that did not make it past this. The darn thing leaked during shipment and my mailbox is now heavily scented with a not so nice fake "peppermint" smell. Maybe Art Naturals should deserve an extra point for their diligent quality standards.

Very nice quality peppermint oil. I use essential oils almost daily and this is one of the finer oils on the market. With other lower quality ones you get a scent that feels fake. Not so with this brand. This one is 100% pure virgin distilled peppermint oil. This essential oil is concentrated so you can mix it in whatever medium you like making it very versatile. Some EO's will already be mixed in a carrier oil to either dilute them or make them only usable in one way or two.I also liked that this particular company/seller has the expiration dates visible. This way you know you are getting a quality, unexpired, safe, product.

I found this useful in my laundry, shampoo, diffuser, along baseboards to keep spiders away, and in a spray bottle with distilled water. I really tried this one out for a good solid amount of time before reviewing. It has held up and because it is such a big bottle I still have lots left. Highly recommended! I purchased this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. My review is based on my own personal experience having this product in hand and personally using it.

USB-C to USB Cable & Adapter

USB-C to USB Cable 
You can find it Here
#ZL63




Just what I needed for my cable. Nice quality. The connectors fit snugly into my device and do not wiggle out or have a loose connection. The terminal ends are just as other cables. The wire is just like OEM equipment as well. No cheepie stuff here. I got this adapter with a replacement cord at the same time. They were sent together, which was nice not having to wait for one or the other. They both are the same good quality cables. If you need a USB-C cable or adapter I would recommend this sellers items. I was provided this adapter for reviewing purposes at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.





Buttons Cloth Diaper

Super cute designs, double gussets, snap in soaker... what is not to like about these diapers?! These have double PUL. I can't think of any other brand off hand that has  2 layers of PUL. The snap in insert is so soft. I almost wish I had something that soft. 

One side is MF and the other is an oh so buttery soft, super absorbent, top fabric. The gussets are a must have. They really prevent the out of control poopsplosions that happen with other diapers. These are easy to wash and dry. The sizing is spot on. With all the brands, styles, and what not out there to do with cloth diapering.. it can feel overwhelming. Trying to decide on which diapers to get and all that is stressful at times. This diaper here is all you will need. You have the versatility of covers and prefolds, with the ease of use with the simple snap in soaker. This is one you will not regret. I received this diaper at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.









Stretch Out Strap

AS Stretch Out Strap
You can find it Here.
#ASStrap (I wonder if they realized the slip up hehe)


I recently started to get interested in yoga from a few friends who are already into it and do it regularly. I have never had the time before. So I am completely green. I got this strap to help with balance,  posture, and to help with confidence. This strap is perfect for beginners and the seasoned alike. It can also be used by anyone, not just those interested in yoga. It will help anyone in a fitness journey. The strap is definitely long enough for any pose or stretch. It also has sewn off sections you can securely use any length of the strap. I found that to be very helpful. It also helped me to gauge progress. I could start at a 10 and after a week or two I was down a number or more. I found it helpful. I would recommend it. I received this at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. My review is based on my opinions and having personally used the strap.




Organic Toddler Pillow and Pillow Case

Organic Toddler Pillow and Pillow Case by AngelBaby
You can find the Pillow Here and the Pillow Case Here.
#angelbaby
Check out my YouTube video review on both these items as well.






I have two review items, both from Angel Baby to let you know about. A toddler pillow and pillow case. An absolutely amazing pillow. I have the ORGANIC pillow. It is soft...Oh so buttery soft. Like a cloud on your bed. I really wish that there was an adult sized pillow that feels this amazing. Or even a full body pillow. Now that would be amazing. I really think this company should start an adult line of products. I bet they would be a popular item.

My son loves his pillow. Both the pillow and the case are made very well. T
he pillow has a middle seam of mesh that acts like a vent. This way when you lay down onto it, it does not balloon up like traditional children's pillows and feel tight. The outside of this pillow has some very soft fabric as well. I actually hate to put a case on this pillow. If I knew my child would not get this dirty I would skip the pillow case all together.



Thumbs up to the business sending the pillow in a zippered plastic case. Much like one that come off of like a bedding set. Whenever cloth items are mailed they seem to pick up the smell of the shipping container. I can't stand the smell of the bubble mailer on the poly mailers. Maybe it is because of the hot Florida heat or something. I'm not sure but it is not what you want to be smelling on a pillow at night. It also protects it from water. Florida is known for daily rain, which can make bubble mailers and boxes soggy before they even get to the house. I received these two items at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. My review is based on having the product in hand and personally testing the item. Or in this case having my children help.

Bunion Relief Pads

Bunion Relief Pads by Lemon Hero
You can find them Here.


Very nice bunion relief pads here. I was a bit worried at how it would feel inside my shoes because I work 12h shifts. But I can safely say that my worries were unfounded. The part in between the toes did not irritate my feet like I thought. In fact I didn't even notice they were there. Except for the fact that usually my feet hurt mid shift and now they don't. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review of the product.

Cellulite Cream

Cellulite Cream
You can find it on Amazon Here.
#clia
Check out an YouTube video Here.

I'm giving this a thumbs up. Not because it worked for cellulite, because for me I don't think it did anything. BUT it is a nice skin moisturizer. I followed the instructions for more than a week and didn't notice any cellulite changes. The area still looked the same. But what I did notice was that the skin looked different in terms of quality of appearance. The skin was soft and smooth feeling and it looked hydrated compared to an area that did not have the cream applied to it. I think the debate is still out on this one. I'm going to try it for a bit longer and see. If there are cellulite changes I will update. Even though this didn't seem to help me cellulite appearance wise, I still would recommend it for a lotion. It is a light lotion, which I like. I'm not a huge fan of thick creams and lotions. They are too heavy for my skin. Also living in Central Florida heavy creams start to feel greasy or sticky after a while. This product did not do that at all. It is light and refreshing actually. I received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased review of the product.
