Smooth Legs for 4 Weeks! {Philips SatinPerfect Epilator Review}

Summer is on it’s way, are your legs summer ready? Ready to strut your stuff in your swimsuit at the pool or beach?

Mine were not, until I recently had the chance to review the Philips SatinPerfect Epilator.  Do you know what an Epilator is?  An Epilator is a system that works like tweezers and removes hair, in turn giving you smooth silky legs.  I have to admit the first time I used this product….OUCH! It really hurt.  I felt a lot of pain and was scared to continue.  It does get better mamas.  The more you use it the less it hurts.  Is it worth the initial pain? Yes!  Smooth silky legs for around a week for me and that means less time shaving and more time spending outdoors with my kiddos.  I am hoping the more that I use it, the less I will have to use it….can’t wait until I have smooth legs for 4 weeks. :) It features 40 minutes of wirefree epilation and a quick 1 hour recharge so you can use it at an given moment.  It also features a fully washable head so it’s always clean.  A great product if you want to save money on waxing this Summer!

Efficient epilation for long lasting smoothness

  • Hypo allergenic textured ceramic discs gently remove hairs
  • Built-in opti-light reveals tiny, fine hairs
  • Speed control technique maintains the ideal epilation speed
  • Extra speed setting: gentle epilation or faster performance

The Philips SatinPerfect Epilator comes Real Mom Recommended! It can be purchased at a big box store near you!

From Flat to Fabulously Wavy {Karmin Titanium Hair Straightener Review}

 

I have to admit I am somewhat of an amateur when it comes to doing my hair. I have spent WAY too much time on Pinterest lately looking at awesome ways to style my hair…. if you are on there, you KNOW what I’m talking about! :-) I have pretty long hair that is somewhat naturally curly… Translation: My hair is kind of a frizzy mess if I don’t use some kind of heat on it! I have been flat ironing my hair for a LONG time! I don’t iron it completely straight very often, but I use it every day to smooth the top and especially my bangs! I was recently generously given the opportunity to review the Karmin Professional Titanium Hair Straightener from Hair Products Pro. I was SO excited! This iron is super sleek and is loaded with awesome features:

Pretty in Pink! Karmin has taken their hottest selling professional flat iron and made it available in a hot shade of pink.

Introducing an amazing breakthrough in technology; The Karmin Envy Professional Titanium Flat Iron. This straightening iron takes the amazing features & benefits of ceramic heat and ionic technology, and combines them with Titanium for the ultimate hair straightening iron.

Product Features:

  • Ultra hard, mirror smooth titanium plate surfaces
  • Negative Ions and Infrared Heat (removes static) for Silky Shiny Hair.
  • Ion field technology (seals in natural oils)
  • Micro-porous technology (locks in moisture)
  • Won’t damage hair like other straighteners.
  • Automatic sleep mode – Auto shut off after 1 hour.
  • Unparalleled Infrared heat for deep, long lasting straightness.
  • Micro Chip Temperature Control Infrared Heat, Flash Quick Heating.
  • Variable temperature settings for all hair types. From 80°C (176°F) to 237°C (460°F).
  • Tangle-free 3 meter, 360 degree swivel cord.
  • Worldwide Voltage 100-240V – Works in all countries
  • Drop Safe Technology
  • Floating Plates so you can style you can straighten, curl, flip and style your hair
  • 3 Year Warranty

I was super impressed with this iron from the first time I tried it. I even did a full flat style to check it out too! It took me about half the time it usually takes me to straighten my hair! This iron is SERIOUS!!! It gets super hot for unruly hair like mine, but can be turned down for super fine hair. I’ve never seen a straightener that is heat adjustable! I also LOVE that it has the auto-sleep! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone into the bathroom to find I’ve left the flat iron on…. problem solved!! I also love how quickly it heats up! No more waiting if I forget to plug it in until the last minute! I also really love that it has ceramic and ionic technology built into it, so it’s “healthier” on my hair!

Something that I’ve also been experimenting with this iron is creating waves! This iron is a great option for this because it is slim, only 1″, and it has floating plates that allow the iron to rotate slightly. I have tried it a couple times, and while I’ve had some good results, I still haven’t mastered it enough to share a photo… otherwise I totally would! ;-) However, this is what you can achieve with this flat iron.

Hint: I found some great tutorials for flat iron curls on Pinterest, and I’m sure you could also find some on YouTube as well! You won’t be disappointed with this iron. It is so versatile! Thanks Hair Products Pro!! The Karmin Professional Titanium Hair Straightener is available from Hair Products Pro and retails for $129.95.

I could always get my beautician diploma with online college classes.

Organic. Hollistic. Healthy {Made from Earth Review}

As a mom it can be hard to take care of yourself. I mean, honestly, some days it’s hard to get a quick shower we are so busy! I have once again made taking care of myself a top priority. After a few years of putting myself on the back burner I am seeing how it has taken it’s toll on me physically; everything from my skin to my hair. As I have started trying to make positive changes in my overall health, I have become very aware of what I am putting in and on my body. And the fact that “organic” has many different meanings. Organic products are not created equal. You can be certain that products from Made from Earth are all natural and contain the highest possible levels of certified organic ingredients and fruits. Organic. Holistic. Healthy. Everything I want in a product I am putting on my body.

I was completely thrilled to receive several amazing products from Made from Earth. I can truly say every single product I received is wonderful, high quality and has become a staple in my beauty routine. Let’s talk Lip Balm. I don’t usually wear lipstick, but I always wear lip balm or lip gloss. The Spearmint and Vanilla Lip Balms from Made from Earth are wonderful and incredibly affordable. They really feel good on my lips and keep them healthy and soft. The Spearmint was my favorite and smells so good. I also received a bottle of Peppermint Herbal Conditioner. This conditioner is awesome! It smells amazing and leaves my hair silky soft. It was a great fit as I already use a peppermint shampoo. I think peppermint is one of my favorite scents always leaving me feeling refreshed and invigorated. I also fell in love with a few different Made from Earth skin care products. Every evening I look forward to using the Olive Night Creme. This is an organic night creme made with organic olives and olive butter.

“Organic Olive oil helps to improve skin elasticity, while moisturizing to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The best beauty benefit of olive oil is allows for easy absorption to combat dryness. Since olive oil is a rich source of antioxidants, when applied to the skin it has been scientifically proven to that protect skin against aging.”

Nothing better than all natural skin care products formulated to keep your skin healthy, beautiful and looking fresh. The high quality, organic products from Made from Earth have proven to be highly effective, and have won me over. I will most definitely continue using these products as I can’t imagine my days without them! I love knowing when I use Made from Earth products I am taking care of my body with the high quality, organic products.

Skin Care {Firmagen: AM Skin Repair Review}

Skin care has always been important to me. Ever since I was a teenager in the war against acne I’ve been extremely careful about the products and even the make up I use as I know it all effects my skin. Now I am in the war against wrinkles and aging and when I read about Firmagen Skin Care Systems I was instantly curious about their products, especially the AM Skin Repair with Alphadermalene – PBF Ultra Antioxidant Blend.

A RADICAL NEW CONCEPT IN SKIN CARE

Firmagen Skin Repair System™ is a physician-developed anti-aging system. This revolutionary system contains Alphadermalene-PBF™ – a powerful ultra-antioxidant blend, designed to neutralize and eradicate skin damaging free radicals.

ONLY THE FINEST INGREDIENTS…FROM US TO YOU

We are proud that Firmagen Skin Repair System uses only the finest quality ingredients available, and is prepared under exacting laboratory standards. We also do not perform any animal testing. The Firmagen Skin Repair System is always available fresh, direct from our labs to you.

We recently just launched a skin care brand called Firmagen. Firmagen Skin Repair System is a physician-developed antioxidant skin care system. This revolutionary system contains Alphadermalene-PBF™ – an exclusive and powerful ultra-antioxidant blend, designed to destroy skin damaging free radicals from both the inside AND the outside, visibly reducing and preventing the signs of premature aging, fine lines, dryness, sun damage and acne, while stimulating and promoting softer, firmer, clearer, healthier and younger-looking skin. Unlike traditional skin care products that only treat problems on the surface of your skin, the Firmagen Skin Repair System is a complete system that works both internally AND transdermally to help combat free radicals, while stimulating and promoting your skin’s restoration.

When my Firmagen AM Skin Repair arrived in the mail I got it all ready for use the very next morning! I am super cautious about skin care products and had a good feeling about this one from the second I read the description. In the morning I washed my face and got when it was clean and dry I applied the Firmagen. It went on so smoothly and really left my skin feeling refreshed and clean. I love that feeling in the morning! Such a great way to start the day! The Firmagen AM Skin Repair is a refreshing topical skin nourishing antioxidant serum that combats skin damaging free radicals transdermally at the same time as hydrating, protecting and toning your skin, while removing dead skin cells. It does all this wonderful work without clogging pores! Pretty powerful little serum! I am really enjoying using the Firmagen AM Skin Repair. It has definitely become an important part of my daily beauty routine, and I always look forward to it! I have noticed a difference in my skin. I feel like it looks a bit fresher and really radiant. The Firmagen AM Skin Repair makes a great addition skin care regimens, especially if you are looking to keep your skin healthy and toned.

Sparkling White! {Crest 3D White Products Review and Giveaway}

People say the first thing they notice when they meet someone is their smile.  I have been told I have a nice smile, but I nit-pick and wish my teeth were straighter and whiter.  So, I was super excited when I found out that I was going to review Crest 3D Whitestrips and  Glamorous White Toothpaste. 

I have always wanted to try whitening products, but have been a little nervous (and cheap).  I did a lot of research on the Whitestrips before using them because I didn’t want to ruin my teeth.  Once I was satisfied with all of the info I had found, I slapped the strips on.  They went on super easy.  All you do is pull the clear, plastic strips off and place them across your teeth.  I pressed them down for about 5 seconds to make sure they were on nice and secure.  That was it!  Two hours later I peeled the strips off and BAM!  A brighter smile!  The first day it was a little subtle, but got more noticeable the more times I had used them.  With 7 in a box, there is a weeks supply.  I did notice that my teeth were a bit sensitive after use.  It seemed 6-8 hours after use, my teeth would get sensitive and almost sore.  But the next morning everything was back to normal. This happened with every use.

Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips

With new Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips, you’ll get noticeable whitening after 1 treatment and full results in just 7 days.

New Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips are formulated with the same clinically proven ingredients dentists

use. And since it also uses our groundbreaking Advanced Seal technology, you’ll get convenient, no-slip whitening. You can even drink water while you whiten!

 

Add Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips to your oral care routine for:

  • Noticeable whitening after 1 treatment, full results after 7
  • Revolutionary Advanced Seal technology means no-slip whitening
  • New improved lower strip for more whitening coverage

As up keep on my sparkling new white smile, I used the whitening toothpaste.  Not too minty!! I didn’t have any problems with the toothpaste at all.  It was hard for me to tell if it was whitening because I was using the strips, but I had my hubby use it, too.  He had a little whitening.  Not an all at once brightening like the strips, but a subtle whitening.  Josh said ”that his teeth felt as clean as they do coming out of the dentist” :)

Crest 3D White Glamorous White Toothpaste

With new Crest 3D White Glamorous White Toothpaste, you’ll get a brighter, whiter smile. It shines to brighten after just 1 brushing and removes up to 90% of surface stains for a head-turning white in just 5 days.                                                             

Crest 3D WhiteGlamorous White Toothpaste:

With regular brushing, Crest 3D White Glamorous White Toothpaste:

  • Whitens by removing up to 90% of surface stains in just 5 days
  • Provides a more lustrous smile by whitening and brightening
  • Removes surface stains in hard to reach places with gentle foaming action

Silky and Smooth {Fairy Tales Hair Care Review}

Between me and my 3 little girls, we have A LOT of hair!  Just ask my husband.  He is forever cleaning out the drain in the shower or the brush of the vacuum.  Gross, I know.  But when you have girls, you have hair!  (I think he is just grossed out by it cuz he is bald :) )  We spend a lot of time washing, brushing, blow drying, curling and styling a 4 of our head of hair every morning.  If there was something I could do to make any of those things easier or faster, I would!  Oh wait!  Fairy Tale’s Hair Care has a solution! 

“Fairy Tales Hair Care was created over 20 years ago in the Fairy Tales Salon in Hewlett, NY.  For years, parents would ask the stylists what were these products that made their children’s hair so soft and manageable. But our stylists just smiled and said it was our secret recipe! The Fairy Tales Hair Care line was launched nationally in 1999 with great success! Within one week of our launch, Rosie O’ Donnell was showing off her bottle of Rosemary Repel Shampoo on her talk show.  We were a hit! Parents and kids love these natural products loaded with organic herbs to cleanse, condition style and most importantly, help repel hair lice.”

They so kindly sent us a few goods to give a try.  First up, detangling shampoo + conditioner and detangling conditioner.  My girls have always just used whatever was pink and smelled good….those were their prerequisites.  We haven’t ever used a detangling shampoo and we were AMAZED at how well it worked!  Not only did it smell sweet, but it left my girl’s hair smooth and tangle free straight out of the shower.  We were even able to run a fine toothed comb through their hair!  Once they were done with their showers, we gave their hair a few squirts of detangling spray.  Again, it smelled sweet, like a little girls hair should smell.  If their hair had any teensy tiny tangle left after the shampoo/conditioner, the spray took care of it!  We blew it dry without any problems (or tangles).  I noticed that once their hair was dry, it was so full of body and it didn’t have any fly always!  Amazingly, my little girl’s hair looked better than mine, which I had used nice shampoo/condition on.  Which made me think, if it works for them, why not me!?  I lathered and rinsed and added conditioner and was amazed at how smooth my hair was as I applied the conditioner.  Since my hair is so long, the shampooing usually leaves me with some pretty good tangles.  I didn’t notice them so much this time.  Once The conditioner was rinsed out, there wasn’t a tangle to be found!  I was shocked!!  I added the spray and it took care of the fly-aways, too. I usually have to add some kind of serum to tame my mane, but not this time!!  I was incredibly impressed!  (Mia was not thrilled about me taking her picture…but I couldn’t pass it up because her hair was SO smooth straight out of the shower!)

They have a bunch of other products as well.  They specialize in Lice prevention and removal…hope we never have to worry about that!!  They also have Sun and Surf products to help keep hair healthy in the summer and the pool.  That is one product I would love to see in action.  My girls get a serious case of pool hair in the summer :(

My girls and I gave Fairy Tale Products 2 thumbs up.  2 thumbs x 4 girls = 8 thumbs up! That is a pretty good score if you ask me!!  Real Mom (and her tangle-free locks) Approved!!

101 Uses!! {Clearly Emu Oil Review and Giveaway}

Who knew a little bottle of Emu Oil could have so many uses?  Before I got this incredible product, I couldn’t have given you ONE use for Emu Oil.  I had never heard of it, but was thrilled to give it a try!  I initially thought that I would use this product mainly as a face oil.  I used it every morning for a couple of weeks and started to notice the over all quality of my skin was starting to improve.  I began to wonder what else I could use this incredible product for. I got on the web site and found a fantastic list of common uses for the Emu Oil.  It was only about an hour later when I was making cookies that we needed the magic formula!  Mia hit her arm on the cookie tray that I had just pulled out of the oven.  With one little drip of oil on her arm, the pain faded and there was no blistering or continued pain came later.  I was amazed!  I noticed my dog had a rash on his belly…Emu Oil to the rescue!  After a few days and a few drops of oil, rash gone!   I also used it as a bath oil, adding a few drops to a my bath as I filled the tub.  I came out soft and smooth!  My favorite use was using it as a scalp treatment and a hair treatment.  I simply applied a few drips in my part and rubbed it into my scalp.  Then, thinking I could use a little more pampering, I added a few drops to the palm of my hand smoothed the rest of my hair.  I put it in a bun and let it “set” over night.  In the morning BAM!  Fabulous Hair!!

 What is this fabulous oil I speak of??

All three types of our pure emu oil are natural sources of Omega 3 EFA (Linolenic Acid), Omega 6 EFA (Linoleic Acid), and Omega 9 (Oleic Acid). These fatty acids are vital for healthy skin & body functions. When applied topically, emu oil will penetrate into the skin delivering the health benefits of these fatty acids as it penetrates. Our pure emu oil will moisturize, nourish, and soothe your skin resulting in healthier skin that will look and feel great.

This same oil can be used as a natural treatment for damaged skin such as burns, cuts, scars, wounds, or abrasions. It is a popular treatment for parched or cracked dry skin as well as for conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Since emu oil is an anti-inflammatory it is also used by people who prefer a natural treatment for sore muscles or achy joints.

Uniquely Emu has many other products as well!  They have Pain Management Products, Skin Care Products, Hair Care Products (that I would LOVE to try…I am ALWAYS looking for a great shampoo/conditioner), Soaps , Dietary Supplements, and Pet Care Products.  What a wonderful product!  I was thrilled with the outcome with every use! Real Mom Approved!!

Feel Good in Your Skin {Mama Mio Skincare Review}

One of the hardest things about getting older is watching your youthful skin start to change.  You start to see fine lines, discoloring, and looseness developing.  That isn’t fun at all.  The more changes you have the older your look, no matter how old you really are.  Kind of a rip off!

Mama Mio‘s 4 beauty experts and founders thought it was a rip off too.  That is why they created products to help us feel good in the skin we are in.  When you feel good you look good…confidence!!  Mama Mio uses “the very, very best ingredients at the highest potency to ensure that every product really works.”  Thank you!  We appreciate that.  It is always nice to spend our money on things that are actually worth it!

Mama Mio has a product for everyone’s skin woes.  There are products for your face, neck, bust, legs, waist, stretch marks, and scars.  Each of their products smell and feel fantastic!!  You can even feel good about using them knowing they don’t have any nasties in them.  “Every Mama Mio product is paraben free, petroleum free, phthalates free, sodium laureth and sodium lauryl sulphate free, colourant free, synthetic fragrance free and xenoestrogen free. If it is nasty, it is a no-no.”  Even their fragrances are natural!

Mama Mio sent me two products try.  The first is the Boob Tube Bust & Neck Firmer.  “Within a week, you will notice that the skin on your neck, your chest and your boobs looks firmer, fitter, glowing, more dewy and youthful. Daily use will maintain this beautiful skin and over the years you will be so pleased you took the time to befriend your bust.
No crinkles or droop for you – no turtle necks or even turkey necks!”  It is super simple to use and very easy to work into your daily routine.  You just use it once a day from your neck to the bottom of your boobs.  It is gentle enough and has such great results you can even use it on your face!  “Already winning 5 industry awards, Boob Tube is even recommended by plastic surgeons to help skin cope and heal with bust surgery.”

The other product I get to try to the Bootcamp for Tummies…a product that I will use on day one after my baby comes.  I am going to get my tummy back–okay hopefully I won’t get the same belly back but one way better!  “If you commit for 30 days, you will see results; your tummy will be tighter, flatter, smoother and more defined. Your posture will be improved, your back stronger and your skin softer.”  It only takes 4 minutes a day.  That is like brushing your teeth, not too shabby!

Right after you shower, when you are nice and warm, following these easy steps:

Step 1 (once a day) Your 4 minute exercise programme. Follow the instruction card for the two no-nonsense exercises: The Flattener Five and the Pulse 100.
Step 2 (once a day) Skin Tight Toning Serum – one to two pumps will be plenty, massage into midriff area from below your chest to the top of your pubic bone, all the way round to your back.
Step 3 (once a day) Get Waisted Body Shaper – massage two pumps on top of Skin Tight. Using clockwise strokes (to help sluggish digestion – another cause of bloated bellies) in exact same area as Skin Tight .

Easy and quick.  We could all use abs like that!

Mama Mio has really great products for each skin problem or potential problem we may have.  Mama Mio is definitely Real Moms approved!

I was lucky enough to receive This darling CTR Couture Necklace and The Pink Royal Key chain.  Both of them are absolutely darling!  I love wearing the necklace.  It has an adjustable chain in the back, so you can shorten or lengthen to make it look great with any outfit.  The three charms on it are a sweet little heart, a CTR COUTURE charm, and a crown.  They all remind you to Choose The Right and that you are a princess and that you should keep yourself worthy of that title.  The key chain also has a crown and a couple of cute hearts.  It also has a large lobster clasp perfect for attaching to other keys, purses, or bags.  Not only are they super cute, but a wonderful reminder to Choose The Right.  These are just two of their many pieces that are not only super cute and stylish, but a quite little reminder, too.  I LOVE the hat!!!  All of their items are perfect for teens and adults.  They don’t scream What Would Jesus Do, but gently help you to remember what you stand for.
