A few days ago, I received a hand crafted wooden watch from JORD. JORD designs their watches to have a modern look. Each watch is hand crafted when you order and sized to fit you. Each watch comes in a wooden keepsake box, and come with a cleaning cloth, spare replacement parts, and a warranty card. JORD has multiple watch designs for both men and women, and I choose the Sully in Red Sandalwood & Maple. I ordered the watch directly through the rep. All I needed to do was measure my wrist. There was a page that I printed out and then cut out the measuring strip. It took me less than two minutes. After that, I sent the info over to the rep & a few days later it was shipped. I was absolutely stunned at how the watch looked when I first opened the box. It is absolutely beautiful. The pictures on the website don’t do it any justice at all. The colors really set it off. The watch is completely wooden, excepted for the internal clock parts and the metal clasp. The ...

Product Review – Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask
Last week, I was asked to try out the Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask. The clay mask is made with natural ingredients, including Kaolin Clay, Plant Stem Cells, Spirulina, CoQ10, and hibiscus and cranberry fibers. It’s designed to improve your skin tone, tighten pores, lessen the appearance of wrinkles, reduce redness, and naturally decrease the level of pro-aging toxins. I have reviewed several Valentia products in the past and had great experiences with them, so I was very excited for the opportunity to try this out. The mask comes in a good-sized 4floz jar. The clay is and off-white tan color with flecks in it. It has a pleasant aroma, but I cannot place the scent. Like typical masks, you apply to the face and leave it on for 15 to 20 or until it dries, and then you gently wipe it off. I used it after taking a shower, so my skin was already clean & my pores open. I only had to use a very small amount. You can hardly tell there is any missing from the jar. It ...
Product Review – Beardsmen Beard Shampoo & Wash
Two weeks ago, I was sent a bottle of Beardsmen Beard Shampoo & Wash for my husband to try out. It’s made to clean & soften your bead, and stop the itch. It’s made from all natural oils and the scent matches that of the Bold Forest Oil. My husband tried a few Beardsmen products several months back and really liked them. He was eager to see how the shampoo would work. He typically uses soap or which ever facial wash he decides to use, which leaves the hair course and itchy. He tried it out in the shower after he shaved. It comes in a good sized bottle, and he didn’t have to use very much…just a small amount. The scent was very subtle and not overpowering. It left his goatee feeling soft and the hairs weren’t going every which way. The softness lasted all day. He also said that he noticed that his skin wasn’t itching nearly as much as it normally would as well. Overall, he really liked it. It does everything it says it does, plus it will last you a while. It ...

Product Review – CanvasPop 16×24 Canvas
A few weeks back, I was invited to try out CanvasPop. CavansPop let you create canvas prints with your photos. They have a ton of canvas sizes and options, and can even retouch your images for you. I got to design a 16x24 canvas. The process is very easy. You simply upload your image and then select your options. Sizes will be based on what is a good option for the size & resolution of the image you are using. I actually used a photo I took on my cell phone of my daughter. I cleaned it up and adjusted the size & resolution on my computer so that it would fit a larger canvas. I was a little worried that it might look blurry once it was printed. To finish it up, I opted for the black boarder around the edges. About a week or so later, my canvas arrived. I was really shocked at how great it looked. You wouldn’t know it was a cell phone image. It looks like I took it will my regular camera. The best thing about the canvas is that it comes with the hanging hardware already ...
