Do you have a RFID chip in your private identification cards?  Drivers license, credit card, bank card - school card, I don't know if in a library card but at this point, it wouldn't surprise me - well here is the thing - THEY ARE EASY TO HACK.  Someone just needs a RFID reader sitting a block away from where you are - and bam you come on the screen and they got ALL of your information.

Where I work we are told to keep them in our little hard plastic containers because it is safer - who knows we were hacked - :0 - but I think it behoves all of us to be extra diligent in protecting our personal identification information.  So Dash Company came in with a great product!  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0121RC6GK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461990406&sr=1-1&keywords=slim+wallets+for+men&m  In this product you get one part - where your id's go that have a RFID chip - then there is an "area that isn't enclosed" then next to it another area where you can put more cards or cash.  It is stylish, and minimalist - and most of all it protects your personal information!

I highly recommend that you check it out!

I can honestly say as we have gotten older, that while our "desire" is still there the "oomph" necessarily isn't.  So I kept seeing people talk about Horny Goat Weed vitamins/tablets.  And was like "hm" that is interesting - what is a Horny Goat? :) lol - I have to honestly say that I am a little slow on the uptake on some things and on this pill it actually proves that.  So Horny Goat Weed helps pick up  your libido, for MEN and WOMEN,  you take 2 capsules with FOOD 1 to 2 hours before any and all physical activity - :)  And let me tell you that both my husband and myself have enjoyed our "special time" together thanks to this pill.  Maybe not our bed, :), but that is another topic entirely.  Atma Nutrition had produced a wonderful pill here.  This pill is not intended for women that may be nursing or pregnant - and it is packaged in a facility which may also process milk, soy, wheat, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and crustacean shellfish - so please be aware of this.

So they say good things happen for those that wait - I finally got me a AWESOME makeup brush set - it comes packaged in it's own tin - that you can throw it in your purse or your overnight bag - 12 pieces - I'll be honest I am unsure of what all the brushes do - I didn't even know that you could use a brush to put liquid makeup on - until recently - so you get that brush, you get a brush for your cheeks - for your eyes, eye liner, lip stick applier.  As you can see I had fun doing my video - and ironically, I put the eyeliner on better - one handed doing a video then with two hands :) lol.

So I have tried COS naturals Dead Sea Mud Mask - it comes very well packaged - so you don't have to worry about it busting in the box during shipment - the bottle is about 2 inches by 2 inches - great labeling with the ingredients - Imported from Israel.  The ingredients include Dead Sea Mud, Shea Butter, jojoba Oil, Hickory bark extract among other ingredients.
The directions: Apply a thin layer on a clean face - be sure to get it everywhere BUT your eyes and mouth/lips.  you leave the mask on for 5 to 10 minutes or until dry then use warm water to gently remove it.  ONLY do it once a week - I did a few videos - and took photos - my son wasn't watching me put it in, he is in the shower, but when he saw me when I was getting him out, he is 9 and autistic, he was like "what happened to your face" and "Take it off" - it was so cute.

My face came out very smooth - probably from all the carrier oils.  and I think it helped with my oil issues and my blackheads.


I have a video of me before I was putting it on - but it seems the video is to big - I have to learn to shut my mouth - :), So basically what I did - was put the mask on - which by the way I didn't talk about the smell, it smells good, and its nice and thick also - a grey color and if you hold the jar upside down it won't come out - yes I am that wild that I had to test it out :) - I almost want to say citrus like - I know from reading that there is no citrus eo's in it - but that's what it reminds me of, I rubbed it all over my face, but NOT near my eyes or lips - I left it on about 7 minutes and then got in the shower and washed it off.  You see the shots with it on me and after the shower :)  
I highly recommend this facial mask -

I have very oily skin and have multiple break outs especially when I'm under stress or don't eat the right way - so I've been looking for a long time for a solution to the problem - well I finally found it -Neutralyze Moderate to Severe Acne Treatment Kit (30 Day).  It comes packaged nicely - the only thing in fact that I would suggest to the manufacturer - is to maybe mark the bottles step 1, step 2, and step 3.


The first step is a sudsy, thick facial wash, there was no scent that I could smell - be sure to rinse well!  the Second step is a clear liquid - and remember you only need a smidge - it is clear and has a alcohol type of smell to it, the third step - after the second step is again clear - no smell.


I have been using my Neutralyze Kit now for five days and I think my skin looks much better and less oily - in fact probably the less oily it has ever been in 44 years.


I can't give this product anything but two thumbs up - again the one thing I would do is to mark the bottles - in the morning without glasses I was smelling the two little bottles :)


The first step is the Face Wash the second step is the Spot Treatment and the third step is the synergyzer.

Video and photos to follow!



Peppermint Essential Oil by Natural Acres -I can tell you I am now a Peppermint addict - I wear it in my essential oil necklace my husband bought me at the Renaissance Faire a long time ago - and it smells so good!  On the plus side - Peppermint is good for keeping you awake, for headaches, for stomachaches - who knew Essential Oils were so "powerful".


The Peppermint comes in an amber colored glass bottle - with a dropper - and believe me you don't want to waste one drop of this oil.


Literally, there are few body, health, and mind issues that it cannot help


Some of the most common peppermint oil uses include:
  • Reduces stomach aches
  • Soothe digestive issues
  • Freshens bad breath
  • Relieves headaches
  • Antimicrobial properties
  • Improves mental focus
  • Clears respiratory tract
  • Boosts energy
  • Releases tight muscles
  • Cost-effective natural solution to replace pharmaceutical drugs - from Dr. Axe website.
Please note that the Natural Acres eo that I have bought is more therapeutic not internally - Also since peppermint is very strong it is best if you combine it with a carrier oil to put it on your body - such as shea butter, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil.


What I did for me was put 2 tablespoons in my bottles I got off amazon, I will share the link, and added 12 drops of peppermint -spray it on your head, or on your stomach for your pain.

Truly whatever higher being you believe in, blessed us with so many nautral products for us to use!

I want to tell you about some great essential oils from a wonderful company, Natural Acres.  The first is Turmeric Essential Oils - this oil - comes in a amber colored bottle with a dropper.  Now there are many medicinal uses for Turmeric - amongst them is an anti inflammatory.


Studies have shown turmeric’s ability to reduces pain, inflammation and stiffness related to rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis


Turmeric essential oil is considered to be a strong relaxant and balancer, and studies have shown that it can help fight against two extremely common mood disorders, depression and anxiety. As an effective essential oil for anxiety and depression, it can improve mood and positive feelings


Turmeric essential oil’s anti-inflammatory ability can really come in handy for the nasal congestion that typically accompanies the common cold. Simply add a few drops of turmeric oil to a diffuser or bowl of hot water and inhale the vapors to quickly get rid of that stuffy nose. Inhaling turmeric essential oil also fights the germs that caused your cold in the first place.


If you’re making homemade aromatherapy products, turmeric essential oil blends nicely with ginger, cinnamon, blood orange, grapefruit, ylang ylang, vanilla and cardamom essential oils.
  • For stress relief and aromatherapy, diffuse or inhale 2–3 drops of turmeric essential oil.
  • For external use, including inflammation and pain relief, create a massage oil by diluting 5 drops of turmeric essential oil with 5 drops of a carrier oil (like jojoba or coconut oil) and apply it to areas of concern.
One negative turmeric side effect is its ability to stain clothes and skin, whether you use the spice or the oil. Turmeric essential oil is yellow just like the spice and can easily and permanently dye your clothing. It can also temporarily leave your skin looking yellow. It might take a few washings, but the color will leave your skin. Wiping the stained area with coconut oil or lemon juice can help remove any skin staining more quickly.
Turmeric essential oil, like many other essential oils, also can make your skin more sensitive to UV light so use caution


As for what I use the turmeric for - I just put a couple of drops on my husband shoulders and his hip and rub it in - thankfully he doesn't have sensitive skin - so it didn't burn him - and rub it right in!


You can add the turmeric to a carrier oil - extra virgin oil, jojoba oil to use it for rubbing down!

So we were having issues in our house with stinky shoes - I guess the kiddos got mommy's stinky feet :0  So I went looking around and I found this great product by Trinova.  It is called "Shoe Renewal Spray" made with peppermint, tea tree, and thyme essential oils.  It is all natural - so no chemicals - which we get enough in the rest of our life.  It smells very good - I have found that if you have ground in smell - stankface - in the shoe - that it just sort of hides the smell.  If that is the case in your house wash them and then put them outside in direct sunlight then spray.

I do love to spray this on my son's feet first thing in the morning and let them air dry before I get his socks on - and my family loves that I put it on and save them from the "stankface" look to :)

I was looking for a new makeup brush set and found the perfect one until my daughter claimed it as her own - the Kabuki makeup brush set - https://www.amazon.com/Gisala-Cosmetics-Foundation-Blending-Eyeliner/dp/B01I9OQRWI/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1470876876&sr=1-2&keywords=12+piece+premium+kabuki+makeup+brush+set  - is awesome - comes in its own travel  case - you get 12 brushes.

Actually, ironically my daughter knew more what the brushes do you get powder, blush, crease, smudge, liner, shadow, and a giant fan blush.

To clean them it is easy also - and they recommend for you to clean them on the initial use - she didn't do that since she was so excited. Simply soak bristles in warm water then swirl them in the palm of your hand along with your favorite shampoo or brush cleanser and rinse thoroughly. You may then add brush guards and allow them to air-dry. Remember, all brushes should be cleaned once before the first use.

Like I said my daughter knew more about what the brushes did - in the video you will hear me questioning should you do that, why did you do that - kids grow up to quick now - it seems just yesterday when she was playing with play makeup.


I would highly recommend this set - it comes with a beautiful roll up case for the brushes, the brushes are a
 combination of synthetic and all natural bristles - 

I highly recommend that you buy it - but hide it from your children

I have to begin off by saying I have never owned essential oils before and I kind of always thought - that's neat and I'd like to get some- but I never really followed up with the actions to those thoughts.


But, I just got https://www.amazon.com/Essentials-Aromatherapy-Therapeutic-Lemongrass-Peppermint/dp/B01GRY1NBC/ref=sr_1_sc_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1470844870&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=mokasha+essential+oils  and I have to say I'm in love  - essential oils DO SO MANY things- help with calming you down, muscle aches, cleaning your house, repealing animals and bugs, in your clothes when your washing them - in your vacuum cleaner canister when your vacuuming - I mean the list is endless.


Now these oils from Moksha are NOT food grade so DO NOT put them in anything you or if you give them to your pets - might eat or drink from.  We generally don't lick ourselves - so it is perfect for humans - (I wouldn't do it on babies they might lick themselves and not know they shouldn't).  But pets will.


This set comes beautifully boxed - ready to give away - you get Lavender, Peppermint (my favoritest), Lemongrass, Eucalyptus, Orange, and Tea Tree Oil.


I have only at this time played with the Lavender and Peppermint - but I fell in love with the peppermint so I haven't strayed to far.


I am using the Lavender at night on my son's pillow - it helps soothe your emotions and he has a VERY hard time sleeping - the first night he wasn't very happy about me putting the drops on them - the second night he asked for them.  two thumbs up.


The peppermint - I am using in my necklace that is a "diffusing necklace" - at work in the afternoon I get very lethargic - but it keeps you more alert (one of the properties) - and it worked yesterday and I'll try it out today to let you know how it worked out.  Peppermint also helps if you have stomach aches, headaches, muscle pain etc.  Peppermint Oil is very strong- so it is important to use it in conjunction with a carrier oil - (shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil are some of the carrier oils).  In some cases people who uses it without the carrier oil experience burning - so please be sure to test it first or use a carrier oil for your safety.


I can't stress how much I love this set.

I just opened my Singing Bowl Gift Set from Amazon  this is an Amazing work of art - everything from the box to what is inside the box.

You get a drawstring bag - that the bowl comes in along with a wooden mallet and a cushion for the bowl to sit on.

I've never been one for Yoga in the past, but I believe there is more to this chakra "thing" then meets the eye - and from the little bit of time I've used the bowl - the sound is soothing  - I wonder if I can bring it around with me everywhere and when someone starts giving me grief - say "hold on now I need to sooth down" :) I don't think it will work at work - but I might try it at home with the kids.

The silk bag is a green gold with drawstring and brown wooden beads, the cushion is a green gold with green tassels - green must be a key color - I'll have to look into the special significance.

The bowl is a cooper in color, at leat to me - with etchings all around it - I don't know why I want to say it looks Arabic - but for some reason, it reminds me of it.  The wooden leather mallet fits in the palm of your hand!

What I am really interested in seeing is if it balances the crown chakra - and relieves stress.  I think I will try it out on my son because that is one chakra point that is always bothering him along with the neck and heart.

This is JUST Perfect for gift giving there is literally nothing you have to do - like I said - everything from the box to the inside is a joy -

My mother in law suffered from lymphedema - and it is quite a horrible disease - it causes the bottom of your feet to swell - so by the time she died in April - her calf and foot was about the size of her thigh.  Well after saying all that, my husband now appears to be going down the same road as her.  So in his left leg -calf and foot it is swelling up.  He has an appointment to go get it wrapped and then go on compression socks but while we patiently await our appointment - I wanted to get him something to hopefully help him.

I found a compression stocking that looked very good on Amazon.  It is black - the toes are not compressed but everything back from the toes to about 3 inches over the ankle is.  He said that the stocking was soft - and breathable.  My husband works on his feet all day long in a very hot and hard working job  so he put it to a test.  This is the result of the test:

As you can see his body part where the stocking ended is not as swollen as what it is above.  He did wear it the one day but I think at this point he is going to wait to get the appointment and go to the doctor - he was in pain when he came home that day.

Thank you for looking at my husbands leg :)  Take care of yourself.

Well, I have been seeing all these pictures of a Watermelon Cutter - in magazines and on tv cooking shows and I started to get a little interested in it.  How did they work?  Were they less messy then cutting them with a knife - can you actually get all of the actual watermelons out of the rind?  Well, I have to say that - Yes you can - I received a watermelon slicer in the mail the other day -

Now I will say this it probably would have been a little less messy if I had downloaded a qr reader and went to the website to watch the video - but that watermelon was calling my name. 




you Simply go with the grain of the watermelon and cut with one side then go back and grab it with the other and voila.  i didn't use the the thing to make it in circles - fancy thing - I just used the watermelon cutter.

Just finished eating my watermelon at work today in fact.  lol.  I will update if it works with cantaloupes this weekend!
