Phytoceramide... The Secret Great Skin From The Inside Out?

  I've been on something like a beauty kick for quite a while now. Trying serums and oils, cleansers and stuff of that sort. So when I've heard talk of phytoceramide supplements and the wonders it does for your skin. You just know I had to give it a try! So why try phytoceramide supplements? Well because mostly everyone is born with beautiful plump healthy hydrated skin. And that beautiful healthy hydrated skin is protected by 60% ceramics content in your skin. But as you age you loose that. And what you would normally get from your food is stripped by refining, filtering, and fractionating. So what's a girl to do with the aging and lost collagen? Whelp that's where Healing Oasis Phytoceramides come in!    Healing Oasis Phytoceramides starts restoring your visible glow and improves your complexion in as little as 2-5 weeks!

It restores youthful hydration of the skin for silky feel and texture. Perfect for dry, red, rough, itchy or aging skin. This brand is gluten and grain free, so if you're trying to avoid that. This are for you.    Now I've been taking it for about 2 weeks so far and I think I am starting to see a change. I can't say if it's improving my facial skin so far since my facial skin has been doing great overall lately. But, I can speak for the chronic dry patches on my arm. They are there no matter how much I moisturize, and itches like hell. I guess it more like mild eczema? Anyway, that has lessened some, the itching that is. And the patches have gotten a bit smaller. I'm feeling positive about this one guys.   So why not give it a try? It's actually a supplement where they say themselves that you'll see a change in as little as two weeks. Most supplements say it may take up to 3 months to see a result. Which usually results in you having to buy more bottles just to really know if it works. Healing Oasis Phytoceramide Supplements will give you results in just ONE bottle. Making this one budget friendly for sure. Give it a try, and let me know what y'all think.

Nura Natural Organic Cold Pressed Rosehip Seed Oil

   Rosehip oil... What is it? What's it good for? Does it work? Many questions, all of them have great answers! Now I'll admit when I was given the great opportunity to review this oil I had no idea exactly what was so great about this Rosehip oil. I must say I'm pleasantly surprised! But more in that a little later. Let's get to what it is exactly.    

   Rosehip oil is a pressed seed oil which is extracted from the seeds of a wild rose bush, either Sweet Briar, or Eglantine rose.  It is a shrub with apple-scented leaves. The fruit, or “hip” of this plant that contains a seed that is then pressed into rosehip seed oil. Rosehip seed oil is high in the omega-6, omega-3, vitamin A, and vitamin C.   

   Now here's the what It does: It regenerates tissue and drastically reduces or eliminates wrinkles and fine lines. Fades, and smooths scars, stretch marks, age spots, hyper-pigmentation, and radiation skin damage. Effective in treating dermatitis, brittle nails, psoriasis, eczema, burns, sun damage, and treat dry, damaged hair. It truly is a Jack of all trades and all natural!   

   Now I'm trying Nura Natural Organic Cold Pressed Rosehip Seed Oil and I'm impressed. I've been using it like a makeup remover and doing just that I see a difference. I smooth it over my face, rubbing away and then l let it sit a moment. Usually that moment is spent grabbing my cleanser and stuff. I then wipe it off using a tissue and it is great at removing my make-up! I then follow up with my cleanser, and my face feels great. No dryness or tightness of the skin whatsoever. I follow up with a little and it absorbs quickly. Doesn't leave a shine as long as you aren't heavy handed with it. There's no need to be either, a little of  Nura Natural Organic Cold Pressed Rosehip Seed Oil And you're good to go. This bottle should last you at least month easy.     

    Now does it work? Yes it does! Like I said, it's great at removing make-up. It's great to use like a facial serum, just rub a little in and your good. You can't go wrong with that! This natural oil is just as good as some serums I've tried. Doesn't break my skin out, and my face is nice, even and toned. Feels great and is bright. My hyper pigmentation marks are fading. I'm very happy with this one. If you're a minimalist, like your stuff 100% natural, or on a budget, this is definitely worth trying!        

    Have any if y'all tried Rosehip oil? How'd you like it? What did you use it for? Let me know your thoughts! *Disclaimer I received this product free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own*

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP53060d655caf860cbca7c0af3a27fb32" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
   OMG if you don't know the benefits of argan oil for hair, honey your missing out! Argan oil does so much for the hair! I add it to everything so that I can get the all the benefits of Argan oil. You gain all this from adding Argan Oil to your hair care:

Hydrates hair and seals in moisture  

Stops fly aways, calms frizz, and makes hair feel more smooth

Penetrates the hair shaft to add elasticity to hair, and nourishes the hair and follicles

Argan oil contains a lot of natural anti-oxidants that will help strengthen the weakened hair strands, so it's great for damaged hair

The vitamin E found in argan oil is also very helpful in treating and repairing damaged hair strands that are due to the effects of environmental factors such as the sun’s rays and pollution.

Adds shine and lustre to hair

Argan oil is also rich in omega 3 and 9 fatty acids that will help in the healing of split ends.

So as you can see the benefits of adding this oil into your hair care regimen are great and totally worth it! I was lucky enough to try GoPure Naturals 100% Pure Argan Oil,and I am ecstatic! This is a great PURE oil packed in a tinted glass bottle with a glass dropper so you don't waste not a bit of the good stuff! It's generously sized in a 4oz bottle and priced under 20 bucks making it quite a steal! My hair is definitely benefiting from it, and I'm seeing less split ends. Which is really saying something since I flat iron a lot! Why buy things that have just a little bit of Argan Oil in it, but tagged with a ridiculous price? Save your money and get the full bang for your buck, and just but the oil PURE! Add it to what you want, do what you want with it! It's great for skin too! The possibilities are truly endless with this one!

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP59b02eab375f23f9dba484e426135831" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
    Ahhh toddlers, so cute, so full of energy, eager to learn and roam, never wanting to stay still. So, so cute... And tiring. Especially at meal time. Have you ever tried to feed a toddler when they're in hyper mode? Lol Of COURSE you have! If not, well... excuse me with your perfect child. It sure must be nice. Well in my world feeding can sometimes be a hassle. Which is exactly how I started buying those expensive prefilled food pouches for my toddler. A innovation that changed my life! My son took to it like water, and I was buying them in all varieties. At a 1.50 and up per pouch it was definitely putting a big dent on my wallet. Not to mention my son could inhale 2 in 2.5 seconds easy. This route definitely wasn't a good look for me at all.
    Now with his twin younger brothers stepping into the age of the pouch, buying prefilled is definitely out of the question. So in comes Basics Best Reusable Pouches, to save the day! Now, for the record  I've used other pouches before, but Basics Best Reusable Pouches are by far the best. And of course I'll explain but first let me give you the details. These pouches are BPA, PVC, Lead, and Phthalate free. Freezer safe, recyclable, easy to clean, and holds 8oz! So they're great for older kids too. Though they are plain, and not much to look at, they're great quality. 

So here's why I think Basics Best Reusable Pouches are great. The PLAIN shape for starters! No funny curves or corners a bottle brush can't reach, so cleaning it is a breeze. The opening is on the bottom which I thought would be a problem but it's not. The zipper is strong, and my son definitely gave it a beating and it didn't bust open. The opening is wide enough where it's easy to just spoon whatever in there without a problem. Plus the 8oz size is great, the prefilled pouches are half that size. They are durable for sure, I've had them for a while now, and they're just as sturdy as the first use. I wash them in very hot water and no warping whatsoever. They're not stiff, but these pouches aren't thin nor do they feel flimsy. And they're priced under 15 dollars for 4. Definitely a steal!

   If you're into food pouches, and aren't happy with your current ones try these. If you're new to food pouches, Save yourself the trouble and try these. Either way, try these! Let me know if y'all like them as much as I do!

Fractionated Coconut Oil! Lovin It On My Hair!!

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP7d4a4cee6c05267b941aab70aa7b2892" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
    I love coconut oil for my hair, it's definitely a staple in my hair care regimen. Coconut oil does so much for your hair. It adds or maintains protein levels in hair, helps maintain moisture levels, conditions, fight dandruff, and so much more. It really is great for hair, and I add it to everything. From shampoo to my leave in. I mix it in my shampoo to combat the drying, and stripping affects of the shampoo. In my conditioner for added strength and moisture, shine, and slip. You can see where I'm going with this. Lol It really is literally in all my hair products.  My hair is fine, and dries out easily, on top of it being relaxed. So this is literally keeping my armpit length hair growing strong. But the downside to using coconut oil is that it's usually in a solid form when you go to use it. So then you're stuck having to warm it up before you mix it in whatever you're mixing it into. If you put it in a spray mix, then it sort of solidifies and sprays out crazy. So you can imagine how excited I was when I was given the opportunity to try Radha Beauty Fractionated Coconut Oil! All the benefits of coconut oil but in a permanent liquid form! Yasssss! It's light, doesn't stain, and is awesome for hair just like solid coconut oil but none of the hassle! Now I can just add it without having to warm the coconut oil up. Radha Beauty Fractionated Coconut Oil is the real deal. I even mixed it in my relaxer and it worked awesomely! My hair came out straight but not overly processed, no burns or anything. I'm in love with Radha Beauty Fractionated Coconut Oil, and I won't be going back! Give it a try, and tell me y'all thoughts!

Peppermint Oil, My New Hair Growth Secret!!

        If there's one thing you should know about me is I'm obsessed with hair. Right now I'm in the grow it long and strong phase. So I'm always jumping on one band wagon or another as far as hair growth is concerned. Well peppermint oil isn't really jumping on a band wagon, it's more like riding an oldie but goodie. A tried and true if you will. I got the chance to try Adovia Mineral Skin Care GoPure Pure Peppermint Oil. And I'm thrilled that I did!      First let me give you a little info on peppermint oil. Peppermint is a hybrid mint, a cross between watermint and spearmint. The plant, indigenous to Europe and the Middle East. Peppermint Oil may help relieve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and indigestion, and soothe sore muscles, among other things. Now so far all I've tried it for is hair growth. And it's doing such a great job with that, that I'm sure it would do great in all the other areas too.       Now back to Adovia Mineral Skin Carr's Go Pure Pure Peppermint Oil. It comes in a nice Amber glass bottle with a dropper. I like that it comes in the appropriate bottle because nothing is worse than buying good oil in a clear bottle than you literally have to keep in the dark all the time so the sun won't ruin it. I like the dropper because you should ALWAYS dilute Pure Peppermint Oil in a carrier oil or water because it can cause irritation and/or a burn. Especially on sensitive skin. Also the 4 oz size is definitely a steal, and a little go a looonggggg way, so it'll definitely last forever.     The benefits for using pure peppermint oil as a hair growth aid are numerous. It can help relieve common hair concerns such as dry scalp, hair loss, hair growth, and much more. Peppermint oil also stimulates the hair follicle by increasing blood circulation and oxygen supply. Hair follicles and roots are able to grow at their full potential when there is a large supply of oxygen. So it really can help grow thinning hair, and that bad haircut you regretted as soon as that first piece of hair hit the floor.     So I've been using this for about a month now. I added it to my shampoo, conditioner, prepoo, deep conditioner, basically if it went in my hair it got a little peppermint oil added to it. I did everything normally. Shampoo twice a week, condition 3 times a week, deep condition once a week, the usual. I had a fresh relaxer when I started so I had no new growth whatsoever. Well now a month later my hair is already looking like I haven't relaxed my hair in about 12 weeks instead of 4 weeks. Yasssss!!!! My scalp feels great, and I love the tingle the oil gives my scalp. You can actually feel your follicles opening up. I have no flakes, and my scalp isn't dry and itchy. This is a staple I'll be keeping. And if you haven't tried it, give it a go! Let me know how it works for you! I highly recommend giving Adovia Mineral Skin Care GoPure Pure Peppermint Oil a try! It's a large 4 oz size, not the little bottle 1oz bottle I see in stores! *Disclaimer I received this product free to try, but ALL opinions are my own*

Body Merry Retinol Surge Moisturizer, All Day Hydration, And Glowing Skin

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP194cecb6f89b5f4f3417c8ed6592c2ad" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
    One of my pet peeves is dry skin, especially dry skin on the face. You'd think that with all the moisturizers on the market, that such a thing would be a thing of the past. Sadly, it's not. Well for me it isn't. Let me not moisturize my face and I'll be dry, and peeling by brunch. Let me use the wrong moisturizer and I'll be dry and peeling by lunch. To me it's like fighting an unending battle. I keep the dryness at bay by moisturizing mid day. Oh, and did I mention that my skin is more like a combination? Well it is. My forehead and nose will shine brighter than a star! So I'm moisturizing, and blotting all day. And just imagine the hassle if I'm wearing make-up... don't worry I'll wait... are you imagining? So yea... You get the picture. Too much work, for me personally. So of course I'm always on the lookout for a new moisturizer.
    So you know I was happy when I got the opportunity to try Body Merry Retinol Surge Moisturizer! Retinol is officially my new thing. I'm totally into it, and the benefits are great. Just so you know, retinol is a form of vitamin A, and it can be found in various topical skin care products. Retinol of course treats wrinkles, clears acne, lightens discolorations, evens skin tone, and shrinks pores. Body Merry Retinol Surge Moisturizer has 2.5% retinol in it. Which is the max. It also contains wildcrafted green tea, organic jojoba oil, vitamin E, vitamin B5 and shea butter. So it's definitely packed with some good stuff! The bottle is a nice 3.4oz size, and one squirt is enough to generously moisturize my face, and neck. So this bottle will last a long while, and you're definitely getting your money's worth!
    Now what do I think about it. First when I looked at the package, I didn't expect much. It's not fancy or anything. Totally not what I expected. But, I knew I would like it as soon I pressed the nozzle and the creamy lotion came out. I love creamy lotion because of my dry face. So I was excited over that. There's no real smell, I love that. I hate facial moisturizers that smell like perfume. I just don't get the point. Anyway I applied it after washing, skipping the toning and serum applications because I wanted to see what this would do on it's own. I wasn't disappointed. This creamy lotion spreads nicely and feels luxurious. It took a moment to rub in, but it absorbed extremely well. My skin didn't feel like it was still dry, and my skin felt soft and smooth. It did leave a shine, but I wasn't too worried about that since my first time using it was at night. I woke up to soft, smooth, not shiny, bright looking skin. My dry areas were still moisturized! I couldn't help smiling at myself in the mirror. Yes girl, you literally woke up like this! Lol I was totally loving myself.
   Fast forward to now, and I still dig this moisturizer. My skin tone is evening nicely. My skin is vibrant, and glowing. For as thick, and creamy as this lotion is my skin is clear, and I've only had the occasional odd mini pimple. Nothing serious. My hyperpigment marks, old acne scars are fading, and my skin is soft and smooth. During the day I apply it, let it soak in, then blot to avoid the shine. I apply my primer, and make-up and I'm good to go. My face stays moisturized ALL day. No drying up and peeling mid day anymore. My T zone doesn't get greasy from it, this one is so worth it!
Give it a try you might like Body Merry Retinol Surge Moisturizer! Let me know if you do try it, and your thoughts!
