Acure Organics~Review

If you have ever read our blog before then you know how much I love natural and organic beauty products.  When I was given the chance to review Acure Organics I couldn't say no!  Acure organics:

"..is a family owned and operated company founded on sustainable principles to provide the highest quality fair trade, natural and certified organic personal care products. Our products are created with great care and are a reflection of our values. Each of our products is free from animal testing, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, harmful preservatives and artificial colors. We travel the globe to find the most potent certified organic ingredients that meet our high standards of efficacy and purity. We thank you for sharing in our mission to have a positive impact on the world we live in."

I was able to try their brightening facial scrub sea kelp + chlorella growth factor.  It is a gentle exfoliater that I just can't get enough of!  The scrub:

~Gently removes dirt and oil with nourishing exfoliation 
~Feeds and restores cells 
~Stimulates new cell growth with 1% Chlorella Growth Factor 
~Brightens complexion 
~Great for all skin types 
~Paraben free, Vegan, Gluten free, Synthetic fragrance free, Silicone free, Phthalate free 
~Fair trade certified ingredients

Boo thought I looked like a monster!

The first thing I noticed is the color.  It's dark green! The scrub is really, really gentle.  It's less than a scrub and more of a light tickle.  But that doesn't mean it doesn't work! It left my face feeling very soft and clean.  I started using this right around a massive breakout and it seems to really clear up my skin.  It removed all traces of oil without drying my skin.  It has a very light grassy scent but leaves no scent on your skin.  All of the ingredients are organic and pronounceable!  I hate using anything with an ingredient that I can't even say.  The tube is quite large. Since you only need a small amount(pea-sized), the tube would last you at least a few months.  I have been using it every other day and my skin feel excellent!  I plan on using every drop in the tube and then buying more.  Best scrub ever!

Envision Home~Review

When we first moved into our new house, I was so excited for the dish washer!  After a few weeks, I realized that it works great on dishes but not so well on my daughters' sippy cups.  I decided that I would have to start hand washing them to make sure they were getting clean.  We have very limited sink and counter space so I couldn't use a traditional dish drying rack.  I have resorted to using a few towels layered on the counter plus more towels to dry the dishes.  Since we do not have a washer or dryer, having all the extra towels became an issue.  Then I got the chance to try the Dish Drying Mat from Envision Home!  

The Dish Drying Mat can hold four times its weight in liquid!  No more drying your dishes before putting them in the drying rack to dry.  It is also machine washable so you don't have to worry about it getting dirty.  Just once a week, toss it in the washer.  That is much easier than having to wash a bunch of towels every other day.  As I said before, we have limited counter space.  I like that after I use the Dish Drying Mat I can fold it up and store it in a drawer!  I also like that this has cusioning so it will protect our glass bowls and wine glasses.

Stay tunes because later on this week Sublime Media Connection is offering three readers a drying mat of their own!

Send a unique gift with Flying Card!

The other day I heard the mailman say "What the...?" and I knew that my Flying Card had arrived!  A Flying Card is a cool, new way to send a greeting card.  It's not just some standard card; it's a frisbee! I always thought you something had to be in an envelope or package to be mailed, but not so.  This came in the mail as is.  There are stamps and my address on the other side.  How cool is that? 


You can completely personalize it also! Send a flying card for: Birthdays, Holidays, Get Well Soon, Miss You, Care Packages, Thank You, Wedding Invitations and more!  Choose your message, color, and recipient then you're done.  You can even add pictures to personalize it even more!  They mail it for you so you never even have to handle the frisbee yourself. Super easy!


















I really like that this is a card that someone would actually keep!  Plus they are only $9.99.  A standard greeting card is around five dollars now and it usually just thrown away right.

Footzyfolds~Review

When I found I that I had to chance to review a pair of shoes that could easily be folded, I was excited but a bit confused.  What do you mean that they roll up?  Why would I need a rollable shoe?  I decided to read up on the Footzyfolds and it clicked.  Of  course I need a rollable shoe!  I am that girl who wears high heels to a wedding then after an hour, off come the shoes.  Nothing says classy like the barefoot girl at the party.  I have really flat feet so wearing heels is actually very painful for me.  So now that I realized how practical they were, I wondered if they could be something stylish enough to wear.  I was really happy with the pair that they sent me! 

Boston in Green

They are really comfy and I can see myself wearing them a lot.  I am in my brother's wedding in September and plan on throwing these into my purse for after the ceremony.  Also, these are going to to be great for the winter.  I hate having to wearing my boots around all the time but it's necessary for the snowy weather here.  Stay tuned because we are going to be giving a pair away courtesy of Sublime Media Connection!

Brazilian Peel Review!

I have a lot of lotions for my face, but I often forget to use them.   When we had the chance to try the Brazilian Peel I was so excited! At first I was a little scared because it stated it is a medical strength peel for at-home use, which includes 30% glycolic acid and is 5x stronger than other stuff on the market.  Scared yet?  Don't be!  The company said it does not cause redness or peeling, so I was skeptical of course because it said it is a 'peel.'   I decided to take trying this product a step further and do some before, during and after shots of using this.  Then I saw the pictures of me with no makeup and my mind changed, sorry!

I will not lie, I was thinking I would have big red sores all over my face after this.  I just saw on WTAE-Channel4 how some ladies get sores and have scars left from it.  But the daredevil I am decided to go for it!  I did notice my face was softer and the blemishes felt like they were actually being taken care of.  As for my 'wrinkles' I am not sure.  I look relatively young, thankfully, so there was no big difference there.  My first and second time applying this treatment left my face with a tint of redness, but by the 3rd week there was no irritation or redness at all. 

It was really easy to use:
1. Clean your face/neck
2. Twist the top cap off of a dispenser
3. Put it in your hand and mix together until it is warm
4. Apply to your face!
5. Let it stay for 10 mintes
6. Wash off!

So if you are wondering if it actually works always look into their clinical trials.  100% said they had improved skin brightness and skin clarity.  If you were wondering if this is only made for women, well it is not! The only added thing for men is it should not be immediately used after shaving. 

Remember this information:

• Brazilian Peel was awarded the Allure 2010 Best of Beauty, Best Beauty Breakthrough Award. It has been featured on Dr. Oz (twice) and The Doctors (once). 
• Research Results: - 100% of the evaluable subjects had improvements in skin brightness in at least one area of the face, as graded by the investigating dermatologist  - At least 70% of the subjects found their skin to be softer and smoother - At least 70% of the subjects had increased facial brightness - At least 70% of the subjects found their skin to feel firmer and more toned.

Rocky Mountain Popcorn

Rocky Mountain Popcorn is an all-natural, gluten free, nut-free whole grain snack, certified non-GMO, and contains protein, iron, and phosphorus.  Wow, I thought popcorn you pop in the microwave was healthy ... guess not! This popcorn was honestly delicious and because I'm watching what I'm eating and working out it does not ruin my caloric intake! It says the bag is around 1.5 servings and under 200 calories.  YES!  

 
They have great flavors that are all awesome:
• Jalapeno
• White Cheddar
• Caramel
• Southwest Cheddar
• Cinnamon and Sugar
• Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn
• Butter
• Naked

My favorites have to be the White Cheddar and the Jalapeno.  I loved how the White Cheddar tasted like the big bag of popcorn that we know is bad for us in the junk aisle and the Jalapeno was spicy yet had a tang to it.  Yum! Although the Cinnamon and Sugar & Kettle Corn were great, I still love the spicy ones.  Just grab a bag and throw into your lunch box or GE/Walmart bag like most teachers use... hehe.
