Seed Ranch Flavor Co. - Umami Seasoning

I received my sample of Umami Seasoning and we added about half the packet in our pot roast tonight. I wasn’t sure what to expect but we tested a little before adding it and it tasted pretty good alone so we felt it was safe to cook with it and the results we satisfying to say the very least! This gave our pot roast a wonderful salty flavor with a subtle warmth at the end. It was a wonderful addition to our meal and immediately after I jumped online and ordered the combo bottle offer right away! I’m looking forward to receiving it and I’m hopeful to try more of their products.. so stay tuned for possibly more reviews from this companies product lines!

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

I have combination skin and can be prone to acne outbreaks throughout the month from time to time. I’ve tried Demalogica products in the past and have been happy with the results so I was really excited to get this product to try. First, I’d like to start by saying this isn’t a regular cleanser at all! It is a dry sandy substance and when wet it dissolves and exfoliates the skin, it eventually becomes milky and moisturizing while it cleanses the skin. It is not scented at all, which I appreciated since some scented products can cause breakouts and aren’t that great for the skin. Here are some pros and cons I found while using this product: Pros: - I leaves my skin very soft and silky. - I definitely see a difference in my skin in just a few uses of this product! - It doesn’t dry out the skin at all and isn’t harsh like many other dry exfoliates for the face. - It is unscented. - The bottle comes with enough to last you a very long time and a little goes a very long way with this product! Cons: - The bottle design wasn’t too smart since the spout it quite large and allows way too much product to come out at once, which is a huge waste since it’s pretty much impossible to put it back into the bottle once it has come out. - The top is a screw off top and although it seals the product from moisture getting in, it isn’t very convenient when trying to clean your face and having to unscrew it and then replace it each and every time. Even with the cons this product is amazing and I would definitely recommend it! My face has never been so soft and looks absolutely fabulous! Now that I’ve seen such amazing results in just a few weeks I can’t wait to see the results after a few months!

Beard Comb & Brush Grooming Kit Review

Although I never thought the day would come where I would need to be on the hunt for a good bread kit for my son, rather than for my husband, it has finally come and I have found that I have my work cut out for me! You would think all bread brush/comb kits are fairly similar and should be able to do the job needed no matter what, but that is surely not the case. See, almost all of these sets have their own unique design and some are better for shorter breads, while others for longer breads, some for thicker breads, while others for thinner breads, and so on, I’m sure you get the idea! So, while my husband’s thin bread that he keeps short and clean-cut would never work with this the type of comb included in this set, it may work better for my son’s bread that is a bit longer and thicker.

Let’s start off with some pros and cons I found with this set when considering using it with any type of bread.

Pros:

• It is made from Premium Wood and 100% Boar Bristles, which I believe are the best when being used on facial hair on any consistency, since it has a way of giving it a clean look.
• Brushing your bread regularly is known to stimulate circulation for healthy beard growth.
• The Brush is made very well and is easy to grip onto. The boar bristles are great and leave your beard looking shiny and clean looking.
• This set comes with a travel bag with a drawstring which is nice to keep it with you on the go.

Cons:

• The final conclusion, this would be a great set for a man that has a beard and long hair on their head as well so that they can use the comb for their head of hair and the brush for their beard. I do believe that if someone has a long beard that the comb may possibly come in more useful in that situation; however, since no one in my family has a very long beard I was unable to test it out to see if that would be true.

Although this is a beautiful set, both my husband that has a thin, short, beard, and my son that has a thick, mid-size, beard, both found that the way the wooden comb was made a bit too thick and wasn’t very useful when being used on their beards. They both said it is probably better to be used on longer hair, probably someone with long hair on their head probably would get the best use out of it. Please note: I received this product discounted in exchange for my honest review.

Panda Planner Review

I received this item discounted in exchange for my honest review.

I must admit, although I've tried very hard to stay organized in my hectic-crazy lifestyle, somehow things seem to always slip through the cracks no matter what! I've always used a planner; however, I’ve never used a planner that was anything like the Panda Planner! The Panda Planner is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before and has a way of incorporating planning your daily life with setting goals that are achievable, and if you're still not achieving them, this planner has the ability of figuring out what your doing wrong so you can achieve them by helping you walk through how to plan your next day to be more productive!

Like many planners, Panda Planner starts off with the basic monthly calendar that you can make any month and year (which I love), it also has an area below the monthly calendar that helps you plan out your monthly goals and helps you measure your success for those goals. Then, it allows you to write down your month’s wins and gives you the ability to focus on how you can improve so that you can stay focused on the positive aspects than the negative ones! There’s also an area where you get to come up with a new healthy daily habit that you with focus on for the month and decide what your focus will be for the month so that you can continue to improve yourself through and through throughout the year!

The daily planner is set up to keep you thinking in a very positive way, starting your day off right every single time! It first asks you to write down you you’re grateful for that day and why that day is going to be a good one; helping you stay optimistic! There’s also an area for an affirmation, your daily focus, and exercise, and then your top 3-5 most important priorities to focus on for the day and make sure they get accomplished! So that you can separate your 3-5 priorities with anything you may have scheduled for the day, there’s an area for any scheduled appointments and a task list as well. Just as the month has an area to reflect on your monthly wins and how you can improve for the following month, there’s always an area daily to reflect on them as well!

Lastly, there’s a weekly review area. In this area you can focus on your “Big Wins” for the week and how you can “Improve” as well. Then there’s an area to set goals such as, “Things I Will Do to Make This Week Great”, “I’m Looking Forward to”, “Habits I’m Focusing on Developing”, “Things you want to master this week” and an “Affirmation” area. Also an area for any projects you’d like to focus on and your weekly “Top Goals”.

As you can see, unlike so many planners that are so plan Jane and boring, or those that just stress you out more once you’ve finished writing down everything you have to accomplish and don’t know where to even begin; this planner focuses on positivity and self-improvement! This is an amazing planner to begin your new year with for sure!! It’s almost like having your very own “Life-Coach” in your purse or briefcase helping you stay focused on the positive, not the negative, on what you will get done, not what you didn’t, and how to develop healthy habits slowly for a happier, healthier, life!

As if this planner wasn’t already amazing, enough, the company has included a bonus of 6 e-books, almost a $90 value!! The Panda Planner isn’t just for adults, men, women, children; it’s for everyone and anyone trying to find something positive to keep them going in the right direction! It’s beautifully bound in leather and has an elastic band that holds the pages shut when it’s not in use.

Best of all, Panda Planner is so sure that you’ll be 100% Satisfied with this planner that if you don’t agree that it’s the best they will offer a 1 Year, No-Hassle, Guarantee!! Plus, to make things even better, they’re currently offering these planners at an amazing BOGO offer (Buy One, Get One Free)!!

Based on my experience with the Panda Planner I would highly recommend it to everyone!!!

Cel-Lab Fitness Clip Activity Tracker and Calorie Counter Review

I received this item discounted in exchange for my honest review.

With New Year’s right around the corner many of us have resolutions to get in shape and become healthier, what a better way of ensuring we are doing just that than with this little device!

Cel-Lab has developed a Fitness Clip Activity Tracker and Calorie Counter for those of us that don’t want to have to track this information ourselves, or just don’t have the time to, but are serious about tracking this information to ensure they’re successful with their goals. This activity tracker goes above and beyond what most are able to do on the market today. Here are some of the things I really love about Cel-Lab’s Fitness Clip Activity Tracker and Calorie Counter: 

·         It has a Pedometer to track your steps throughout the day! Tracks Steps, Distance (miles/km), and Calories Burned.
·         It will also count your Calories too!
·         Not sure if your Sleeping patterns are healthy? This device can let you know because it tracks your sleeping patterns as well! (Just needs to be clipped to clothing while sleeping.
·         The Battery can last 7 whole days between charges!!
·         The Clip comes ready to use and there’s no special software needed!!
·         Although you don’t NEED any special software to use this device, it does come with bonus software so that you can easily archive and personalize your stats!
·         It has a beautiful design and is small enough to clip it just about anywhere on your body!
·         It’s sweat resistant and water resistant which are both very important when trying to track your every step!
·         Nice LED screen is easy to read and features the time, date, and battery life!
·         Can be clipped just about anywhere: Shoelaces, Hairband, Clothing, Hair, Socks, You Name It!!

If I had to name one thing that I found flawed about this product it would be the color inside of the clip, the color is purple and I didn’t see that there were other colors you can purchase so some men may not feel comfortable wearing a device that’s purple all day, every day, even if it is discreet. Granted, the purple is in the inside of the clip and hardly noticeable, it’s still there and may still be an issue for some.

Since the clip is always working, there’s no need to sync it before workouts or anything, it’s always working! All you have to do is connect it to the computer, recommended once weekly, but you can do it as frequently as possible, to get have your data results provided. With the amazing software provided all of the data is shown on easy to read charts, graphs, and other easy to use applications!

Last, but certainly not least, this device comes with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and best of all, it’s currently on sale which is great timing to purchase for yourself or someone else you know that has getting fit at the top of their New Year’s Resolution!!

Based on my current experience with this product, I would definitely recommend this device for personal use or to be given as a gift!!

Crown Coast Umbrella Review

I received this item discounted in exchange for my honest review.

I live in “sunny” Florida (laughable), I say that because although they call us “sunny” Florida, I think we should really be named extremely hot, humid, and erratic weather Florida since you never know what the weathers going to bring! One things for sure, if there’s even a slight chance for rain, IT’S 100% GOING TO RAIN!!! So no matter if you’re a new Floridian learning the ropes or a born and raised veteran to the Florida weather you will always find yourself in need of a stock supply of umbrellas; until now!!

I have always had to make sure that each one of my family members had an umbrella with them at all times and then a back-up for when that when fails, this becomes extremely expensive and takes up a lot of room that I could use in our storage space. The reason why I’ve always had to do this was because it normally doesn’t matter if I spent $1 on the umbrella or $50 on it, eventually it would fail like all the others and then me, or someone else in the family, would end drenched, cold, and extremely unhappy with yet another umbrella that became garbage! They would either not be able to take the wind and shot straight up (like you see in the movies), the metal would eventually wear out and/or rust and the umbrella would give us a hard time opening and closing, or the skinny metal rods that hold the umbrella open would become weak overtime and break! Either way, they all sucked! So when I had the opportunity to review this umbrella, before ever even knowing what it was all about, I automatically said “YES” because just recently I lost another umbrella to the trash can and we are starting to run out of my stock at this point!

First, I want to talk about the color. I really wanted the color black at first; unfortunately, it’s first come first serve and I snoozed and lost out of the black, so my second choice was red and it was gone before I could get it too, so I decided to go with the yellow color; believe it or not, I’m pretty sure I would’ve actually selected this color as my first choice if it weren’t for me being worried about the shade of yellow pictured on Amazon.

The Amazon picture looked as if the yellow color was dull looking, a much softer color yellow. I would’ve preferred a brighter yellow, not neon bright, but just cheerful looking! The good news is that it was the exact shade of yellow I wanted! Actually, this yellow is probably nicer than what I could’ve ever imagined!

This umbrella was like something I could’ve ever imagined and I can say for sure that I’ve never used an umbrella like this at all! It comes in its own sleeve like many umbrellas do and it has a small wrap around tag to keep the umbrella snuggly together with a Velcro attachment. Once you’re ready to use the umbrella all you have to do is take it out of the sleeve and unwrap it then push the button and voila, it completely opens on its own! When you’re done using it all you have to do is re-push the same button and it closes up, all that left to do it push it the rest of the way down to lock it, wrap it up and attach the Velcro and then slide it back into the sleeve!

I also found that this umbrella is extremely strong and can withstand quite a bit! It’s already gone through the rain and wind challenge of Florida and survived! I can honestly say that this isn’t the kind of umbrella I am going to have to replace in a year or two, this is an umbrella that will survive a lifetime! It’s worth every penny and I will be purchasing a few more for my husband and kids to have as well! Very satisfied and would highly recommend it!!

Peppermint Essential Oil Review:

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPf9e5c4c051784d0617759f94810ff8b9" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I received this item free in exchange for my honest review. 

I absolutely love essential oils, they have such amazing natural benefits and can be used for so many things that I really don't understand who wouldn't love them and use them, see below for a number of ways they can be used, as well as some other advice regarding this product! 

Essential oils can be used for a number of things such as health and healing benefits, such as cuts and wounds, help with energy, to make cleaners and disinfectants, and so much more! 

This specific essential oil is peppermint. Some of the benefits you can find with peppermint essential oils is: 

- Calming Effect and can reduce Anxiety! 
- Helps reduce or even eliminate Bad Breath!
- Can soothe your Digestive System.
- Relieves and loosens sore, tight, Muscles!
- Can help with Stomach Aches.
- Helps with Joint Pain as well!! 
- Helps clear Respiratory System.
- Can help boost your Energy levels!
- Antimicrobial properties (can be used as an amazing, all natural, Antiseptic!
- Can help remove Lice and Dandruff
- Helps with Allergies!!
- Helps Sinuses! 
- Boost Memory and Focus (Great for ADHD)
- Anti-itch abilities (Awesome for rashes, poison ivy, insect bites). 
- Can be used as a Bug Repellant! 
- Helps with reducing Fevers! 
- Helps with burns!
- Helps with weight loss because it reduces Hunger Cravings (this can also be great when having to fast)! 
- Smells amazing (which is a HUGE benefit when using this essential oil since some essential oils smell awful! 
- And the list continues!!

As many of my readers know I used to own an Aromatherapy shop years ago and absolutely love all natural remedies!! I believe if there's a natural alternative than why wouldn't you go that route first before making doctors and the pharmaceutical industry rich by taking medications that will only add more problems to your problems!! The good news is there are so many natural alternatives out there that you can always try the natural road first!!! I always recommend this personally; no, I'm not a doctor, but I can say that I've personally experienced what natural alternative results look like compared to pharmaceutical results and they don't even compare in my eyes!! So yes, I'm a true believer in trying the natural way first and foremost! 

With all that said, after trying this product and finding my experience very positive I absolutely love this company's Peppermint oil; not just because it's 100% natural and undiluted, but also because you can see the pride this company used in their products by just looking at it and then of course using it! Of course, I also absolutely love the smells, it's amazing, and again, it was also very effective too! 

If you are a Peppermint Essential Oil lover such as myself, you will love this Simply Earth's Peppermint Essential Oil's for sure!! 

Please also note, for those of you who are new to the natural alternatives, that there is a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, difference between "Essential oils" Vs. "Fragrance oils". Essential oils having healing properties, where fragrance oils are just that, for fragrance and that's all!! So be careful when purchasing your oils to be used for natural alternative solutions!! Also, always look for "undiluted, 100% all natural, products, they will always give you the best results!!! 

Thank you for reading!!
