Rainbow Bandz Refill Pack Review

Are you tired of cheap Loom Bands that stink and break easily? Are you looking for the highest quality rainbow band refill pack out there? 

Authentic Rainbow Bandz - Huge Set of 5400 Brightest Colored, Strongest, Individually Packaged Rubber Band Refills - Compatible with All Loom Kits 

Kids have been going crazy over the Rainbow Loom phenomenon sweeping the nation but they want brighter colors and better quality so we designed this refill set for those moms/dads who want the very best, and don't want their child playing with rubber bands made from harmful chemicals and that smell like petroleum. 

Rainbow Bandz offer the best quality rainbow band refills on the market that don't stink and will not easily break like other cheap imitators products leaving your kid frustrated and disappointed. 

Review: I was SO impressed by this Rainbow Bandz refill pack. My sister and I used the Rainbow Bandz loom, and loved it, so we knew this refill pack would be fantastic. The quality of the bands is excellent; the vibrant colors don't "fade" when stretched, and they are very durable as well. Some of them are cut unevenly, but that isn't a huge problem as most of them looked fine.

There are 9 different colors, and 600 bands of each: a whopping 5400 bands total. This is a pack you don't want to miss out on.

My only concern was that they are made in China, as it explicitly says on the package, but since they are latex-free I think the quality should be fine.

MuscleCare Extra-Strength Roll-On Review

MuscleCare Extra Strength Roll-on is the strongest all natural, scientifically based, topical analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-spasmodic for over the counter sales. Professional TherapyMuscle Care Roll-on combines menthol and camphor for immediate pain relief with magnesium, glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin to relax muscle tension, improve circulation, promote healing and reset the muscle in its normal resting length. The roll-on offers the convenience of applying MuscleCare in those hard to reach areas of the back without using your hands. This product is great for quick application in the workplace or in an athletic arena. The Extra Strength Roll-on is effective in as little as 30 seconds. This helps you to reduce pain and get back to the things you love! 

My review: This product sounded like a godsend to me because I suffer from lower back pain that gets really bad after I exercise. MuscleCare isn't going to cure your muscle pains, but it is a temporary solution for sore muscles, so I wasn't expecting this to be a miracle product or anything. The roll-on bottle is very convenient to use, and it's easy too—it doesn't get all over your hands and clothes, and you can use it on the go as well.

The formula smells like menthol—like an ace bandage you stick on your back—and it has a cooling sensation. It definitely felt good and soothing on my skin, but I can't really say if it actually alleviated pain. I used it after my workouts for a little over a week and each time I liked the feeling, but my back muscles (both lower and upper) continued to hurt, even after the next day. (Usually my back pain can be alleviated with stretching).

I might try this on other body parts such as my abs or legs sometime to see if I get better results. Overall, it's not a disappoint product but I can't exactly say it's "clinically proven" either.

Poppy Austin Vitamin C Serum Review (temporary link)

This is not an actual review as I have not received my vitamin C serum yet, despite my multiple messages to the company about the problem. I even heard back from a representative saying a new coupon code would be sent to me so I could re-purchase the product, but none ever came. Tomoson has strict review deadlines otherwise bloggers are impacted negatively. I tried to resolve the issue but the company has not responded very quickly, nor have they given me sufficient time for the review (obviously). I will update this link with a real review once I receive and try out the product.

HSI Argan Oil Review

Discover the Moroccan 'liquid gold', the product your hair needs for constant nourishment and incredible shine! The essential nutrients contained in this magic-in-a-bottle product are meant to give your hair a very healthy look, lots of shine and velvet smoothness. This is a leave-in treatment conditioner which feels really light on your hair, without building up residue or being greasy.

HSI Professional recommends the use of Argan Oil as an extra thermal protection before styling your hair with tools such as the flat iron, the hair dryer or the curling iron. It is suitable for all hair types, and you will just be sorry you have not discovered it before! It tames the frizz, it gives a lovely scent to your hair and it makes it soft and shiny. It really seems like your hair is in for a fabulous treat!

My review: HSI Argan Oil is quite thick in formula, much thicker than pure argan oils I have tried. Its texture is almost like that of a cooking oil, so using too much could make your hair greasy. There is a pleasant hair product scent to it, because it has added fragrance, and it spreads out nicely in your hair, not creating clumps. I like this because it didn't make my hair greasy!

I can't say anything about added shine, but as a leave-in treatment, it definitely did make my hair softer and easier to brush (I usually have slightly wavy, very tangly hair). I noticed this has lots of added ingredients so it is NOT all-natural. If you are looking for an all-natural pure argan oil, this product is not it.

However, because it worked pretty well I would use it again. My biggest complaint is the packaging. You're only supposed to use a few drops and smooth it through your wet hair, but there is no dropper or pump; it's just a screw-top bottle, which means you need to POUR the oil into your palm. Obviously if you pour an oil, you're not going to get a perfect 2-3 drops; you're going to get a little handful. Fortunately, I had some extra droppers from vitamin C serums laying around, and one of them fit perfectly on the mouth of this glass bottle. You are going to want to invest in a screw-on dropper bottle or pump cap if you want to use this product correctly and not waste it.

REBEL WITH A CAUSE?

Justin Morant can't believe he answered an online dating ad! Turns out, beautiful Mackenzie Hawthorne is looking for a ranch foreman, not a husband. Good thing, because marriage isn't in the injured bull rider's future. Justin is happy to take up the cause of saving the Hanging H ranch—and then there's the bonus of playing stand-in father to the sexy single mom's four angelic newborns.

Mackenzie doesn't know what miracle brought Justin to Bridesmaids Creek, Texas, but she'd be a fool to fall for the hunky cowboy who wears his rebel status like a badge of honor. Justin's a natural with her daughters and a whiz at ranching...yet one day she knows he's going to gallop off into the sunset. Unless, of course, the marriage-minded townspeople get their hands on him!

Now enjoy an excerpt:

Justin slept off and on, dozing in the room with the babies. It was weird how much he found himself enjoying taking care of them. As a man who’d never been interested in having children—not one bit—he was surprised by how Mackenzie’s four little daughters tugged on his heartstrings.

He hated the idea of leaving them—all of them. And, somehow, he even hated the idea of Frog staying behind to take his place. Or any of the three men Ty was bringing on to replace him, for that matter.

The only reason he was leaving with Ty was because Ty had brought him here in the first place. He owed it to him out of a sense of brotherhood. Ty wouldn’t ask him if he didn’t need him. Mackenzie didn’t really need him—not like Ty did.

He needed to talk to Ty a bit more, dig into the mission to settle the questions in his mind. But the thing that unsettled his mind the most was how much he hated the idea of three men he didn’t know all that well roaming around the Hanging H and falling for Mackenzie and the girls.

Just as he was beginning to fall for them.

Whether he liked it or not, that was the truth. Justin closed his eyes as he rocked in the chair. The tiny night-light sent a soft glow over the room. An occasional baby snuffle or sigh reached him, the sound somehow comforting and not intimidating at all, not the way he’d thought it would be. During his wilder, crazier rodeo days, the idea of a family had been distinctly unappealing.

Mackenzie was recently divorced. No doubt the last thing she wanted was another man in her life. He couldn’t blame her if that was the way she felt.

At dawn, when Betty Harper appeared in the nursery, Justin felt strangely rested. He smiled at Jade’s mother. “Good morning.”

“Go get some rest. I’ll take over from here. Mackenzie said the babies didn’t even move last night.”

He felt like he hadn’t, either. In fact, he couldn’t remember the last time he’d felt so relaxed. “I thought I was awake all night. I didn’t even realize Mackenzie came in the nursery.”

Betty smiled. “I checked on you at five. Everybody was sound asleep, which is a first for the girls. They probably feel comforted with a man’s presence around. Babies do that sometimes. You have a nice deep voice with is probably soothing to them.”

She disappeared from the room. Justin rose and stretched. Haven peered up at him from her blanket, and he had the uncanny notion that she was watching him. Did babies see anything at this tender age?

“Hello, little one,” he said, approaching her crib. Gently he picked her up, held her close. “Good morning to you, too.”

He kissed the top of her head, breathed in the sweet baby freshness of her skin, the scent of baby powder.

“Hi,” Mackenzie said, her voice soft.

He turned and saw she was wide-awake and looking refreshed. “You’re up bright and early.”

“I got a lot more sleep than I have since before I became pregnant.” She came to take Haven from him, and he smelled an entirely different smell: strawberry shampoo, delicate floral soap, sexy woman.

His heart did one of those funny flip-flops he’d gotten used to feeling around her.

“Thanks for watching them last night.” She gazed up at him. “I think I slept so well because I knew you were standing guard.”

Oh, boy. There went the heart. “It was no problem. Part of the job.”

“Not part of the job I hired you to do.” She looked at him funny.

He backed up a step when he realized he was staring at her pink, glossy lips. “It’s the job Frog and Fellows are applying for.”

“That’s Ty’s bright idea. And by now, you know Ty can be a bit of a squirrel.” She smiled. “Babysitting isn’t part of your job description. But thank you.”

Warmth expanded in his chest at her smile. He wondered if he’d ever met a woman he was so blindingly attracted to—and decided in a hurry that was a terrible thought to have about his boss. Definitely a dead end. There was no way on this planet he had any business being attracted to her.

“I’m going to get some coffee. You want a cup?”

“No, thank you. You go on.”

He nodded and turned to leave.

Turned back around, met her gaze. Started to say that sitting up with her daughters hadn’t been work; he hadn’t done it because of Frog and Friends. He’d done it because he’d wanted to. Wanted to make her happy, help her out.

But it was a bad idea to make such a confession. No purpose to it at all, and he didn’t do anything unless he knew the purpose.

Shutting his stupid yap tight before it could say weird, mushy things, he left.

Skin Secret Derma Roller Review

STIMULATES COLLAGEN PRODUCTION Collagens have great tensile strength, and provide these body structures with the ability to withstand forces that stretch them. Collagens consist of three polypeptide chains arranged in a triple helix, and are bundled together in fibers. This can be used with collagen creams, collagen lotions, collagen supplements to amplify the collagen production and improve skin quality

HELPS ELIMINATE SCARS INLUDING ACNE SCARS scars will become less vissible over time, including acne scars. This is a good alternative to invasive laser surgery. This product works with othe acne treatments by allowing product to penetrate skin

REDUCES APPEARANCE OF FINE LINES AND WRINKLES this will help eliminate bags under the eye, skin discoloarion, large pores. The skin will appear firmer. Works well with skin lotions, skin creams and skin serums like ascorbic acid vitamin e hyalurunic acid.

REDUCES CELLULITE AND STRETCH MARKS. Reduces the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite. This is without liposouction or other invasive procedures.

My review: You're supposed to use this product on your face to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, but I didn't use it on my face for four good reasons:

1. I was too much of a wuss. These are tiny needles you're poking into your skin!!
2. I don't have fine lines or wrinkles.
3. This product should not be used on acne, and having oily and acne-prone skin, I didn't want to risk using it even when my face was clear
4. There are virtually no instructions about cleaning or sanitizing the product, and I didn't want to risk my face in case there were any contamination complications

So, I used it on the inside of my things where I have mild stretch marks from previous weight loss/gain. I don't have cellulite anywhere else, just on the INSIDES of my things, which has always bothered me. The skin there is obviously sensitive, but not as sensitive as my face, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I only used the roller on one leg to be able to make a comparison with my "control" leg. When rolling, you're supposed to do about 10 strokes in each direction—horizontally, vertically, and diagonally each time. The sensation isn't exactly pain, but it does sting a little, like a sunburn as described in the product claim. No blood was drawn, which was my biggest concern, but then again I'm a huge wuss and I was rolling very lightly. I do not doubt you could draw blood with this thing if you pressed really hard into your skin. *cringe*

Thankfully I did not experience much redness or swelling, afterwards. I immediately slathered the treated area with a hyaluronic acid serum (for better absorption!), and then my regular body lotion. If I had any cellulite cream available, I would have used that on top of the treated areas. I did not see immediate results; in fact, my legs look exactly the same now, but the product claims say to use it a few times before making a comparison.

The biggest concern I have is sanitary reasons. You are supposed to clean and sanitize this product before and after each use, but it doesn't tell you how. I am not going to run it under soap and water... how would I ensure complete cleaning? I'm not touching these needles with my bare fingers. I considered rolling it over some rubbing alcohol but am not sure how that would react with the metal. So basically I am scared to reuse it...... hopefully I'll find a solution soon enough.

Giveaway: If you want to try this yourself, I'm giving away one free derma roller. Email jsididia@gmail.com to be considered for entry.

Review: This mask is smooth and smells strongly of eucalyptus oil—so refreshing! It applies very smoothly—you can feel the little mud particles, but it's not so bad in a grainy way. At best, it's a mild exfoliant, which I love. I applied a very thin layer to my entire face, so when it tried, the mud had gotten light and formed a hard layer. I washed it off, and my face was very smooth thanks to the various oils and shea butter.

I love this product but would not use it regularly as shea butter is comedogenic, and I actually have oily and acne-prone skin. This might work better as a body mask or for people with dry skin that don't have problems with acne.
