For the past two months, I have been testing out Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Glycolic Facial Gel Cleanser. Ageless Derma is a line of high quality skin care & makeup designed to reduce the signs of ageing and improve your skin. The gel cleanser contains Glycolic acid, Acetyle Acetate and Ubiquinone to remove makeup, pollution and other skin irritants and help fight the signs of prematurely aged skin. I’m always looking for good skin cleansers, so I was very eager to try this out. I don’t really have any fine lines or anything, even though my hair has decided to start going white (I’m only 29!!!!). But I was interested in seeing if I would notice a bit of difference in my overall skin appearance. My skin is really sensitive, so I started out only using a little bit. I noticed right away that my skin was a lot cleaner, but that I did tend to have more breakouts when using the cleanser on a regular basis. Paring it with a regular acne wash and using a clarifier once I was out ...

Product Review — Zaycon Foods
Several months ago, I got to work with Zaycon Foods & was given a gift code to order 40 lbs. of their free-range, fresh chicken breasts. Zaycon has provided fresh meats & organic produce for over 10 years. It comes directly from the local farm to you, so you are getting everything at it’s freshest. All of their products are sold by the case, and the prices are unbelievably low. They have delivery events all across the country. I was able to get my chicken at the Sunnyvale Baptist Church in Mesquite, which is about 15 to 20 minutes from my house. I was told that we would pull up and once we were checked in, that the car would be loaded. When we got there, there was a huge line. Cars were wrapping around the entire lot area and back around to the entrance. However, we moved pretty quickly and were through the line in about 8 minutes. The truck guys put down a big sheet of place in the back of my car to protect it just in case the boxes dripped a little. Once we ...
Product Review — PrivateIslandParty.com
Last month, I was asked to take a look at PrivateIslandParty.com & pick out a few accessories to try out. The site offers an assortment of party supplies, novelty items, and accessories. Many of the items are available in bulk, like hats, wigs & capes. After looking through everything, I picked out a black cape, fishnet gloves, and a child’s superhero cape. After placing my order with the site rep, she called me to let me know that the superhero cape was out of stock and that they were going to send me out a new one. I was told that the items were being shipped that day, but after three weeks I still hadn’t received them. I found out through Tomoson that the rep was no longer with the company and that a replacement shipment was being sent out. I received everything three days later. The black cape was nice, and you can leave the color down or flip it up. The gloves fit perfectly and just about reach my elbow. I plan of using them as part of a Rocky Horror ...
Product Review — BuyCostumes.com
A few weeks back, I was asked to check out BuyCostumes.com & pick out a costume. BuyCostumes.com has a large variety costumes all year long, as well as tons of accessories. They also carry party supplies & pet costumes too. Since I had already picked out a Halloween costume already, I let my husband look through and see what he liked. The site is very easy to navigate & you can easily search by costume type, gender, size, price & more. They also have sections of related costumes, like Star Wars, Renaissance & TV characters. On the group pages, you can see both adult and children’s costumes along with all the suggested accessories. My husband & I literally went through the entire site, taking him about two days. He eventually went with the Tavern Man costume after I threatened him with a Hawkeye costume if he didn’t pick something. The costume consists of two pieces: a lace-up renaissance shirt and pants with laces to tie up the legs. We received ...
Mighty Handle Review & Giveaway
A few weeks back, I got sent a Mighty Handle to try out. The Might Handle is a handle with hooks that lets you carry multiple shopping bags. It holds up to 50 lbs, and is designed to fit comfortably in your hand. I’ve seen other products like this one before, but they never really looked like they would work due to being very flimsy. The Mighty handle, on the other hand, is thick and sturdy. I was able to easily load it up with many shopping bags without a problem. There is a rubber grip around the handle that makes for a comfortable hold & helps you maintain your grip. The overall design also helps distribute the weight more evenly to that it’s not too much of a strain on your hand. With it, I am able to make fewer trips out to the car to bring groceries in. It also gives me a free hand so that I can quickly open the front door or hold my daughter’s hand. I keep it in a pocket on my storage canvas that’s in the back of my 4Runner. That way, it’s always there when I ...
Product Review — V8 V-Fusion® Refreshers
A few days ago, I was sent a few bottles of V8 V-Fusion® Refreshers to try out. V8 V-Fusion Refreshers have a blend of fruit and vegetable juices that the entire family will enjoy. I was sent bottles of Tangerine Passionfruit & Cranberry Grape. I normally pass on regular V8 since I don’t like tomatoes, so I was happy to try these. The bottles arrived the morning right before I went out of town for the weekend at FenCon, so my husband & daughter got into them first. My daughter loves both flavors. My husband wasn’t overly fond of the Tangerine Passionfruit, but he did like the other. My daughter drank a good bit of them before I got home, but I was able to try some. I loved both flavors. You don’t really taste and vegetables in there and the fruit taste isn’t overly strong. It’s very well blended. I’m definitely going to be picking up some more, as well as trying out the other flavors. Overall, I really liked the V8 V-Fusion Refreshers. They taste great and ...
