Recently I was introduced to a really neat skin and body care product called Spongeables! This product most definitely has the ability to make your shower or bath experience that much better for many reasons!

So what is a Spongeable? It’s basically a one of a kind all in one sponge that’s infused with cleansers and skin care ingredients that make for a superb cleansing, exfoliating, massaging, and moisturizing experience unlike any other!

Each Spongeable is formulated with the finest skin care ingredients that include:

OLIVE OIL: The perfect hydration for all skin types.
GLYCERIN: A gentle cleansing agent that prevents moisture loss & helps skin maintain a good moisture balance
SHEA BUTTER: The optimum daily moisturizer for dry skin
VITAMINS A & E: Two powerfully healing antioxidants prevent premature aging and skin damage
each chosen to enhance the body’s complexion from neck to toe.

My Experience…

I was sent a Spongeables® Lavender Nectar in the 20+ uses 3.5 oz unit and a 1.2 oz, 5+ use travel size to share my thoughts on.  I found that this product lathered well and left my skin looking and feeling great. It made for a great shower experience and smelled so good without being over the top. I am usually pretty sensitive to smells so the fact that this product didn’t bother me was wonderful.

The exfoliating part of the sponge worked great on rough spots and I was really happy with the fact that I didn’t have to use multiple products while showering. Usually I have to reach for my body wash, sponge, and exfoliating things . The all in one properties of the Spongeables makes for great convenience in time saving and it’s perfect to carry a long when traveling! In fact, I am planning on taking a long the travel size Spongeable I received next month when we are on vacation!

Spongeables® come in variety of designs and scents to meet the needs of everyone in the family. I’d be interested in trying out the Grapefruit Spongeable and perhaps getting the Ducky Duo for my kids!

If you are interested in purchasing Spongeables® for yourself you can purchase them from their website and also from many well known retailers such as Walgreens, Amazon, and more. These products also are offered in already pre-made gift baskets that are great for giving to someone you love!

Did you know that tweezers are known to have been used in predynastic Egypt?  Tweezers are something that most everyone has on hand for many needs such as  personal grooming, removing insect stingers & splinters, crafting, and even for working on computers.

I recently was given the opportunity to review the Luma Tweeze from As Seen on Tv. And though I personally won’t be working on any computers with these, I believe they are very handy when it comes to using them for my own personal grooming needs and removing unwanted objects from the skin.

So what’s so special about Luma Tweeze compared to the regular run of the mill tweezers you can pick up in any store? Well, these tweezers are the only precision lighted tweezers with a built-in LED light and magnifier! These features, combined with the stainless steel precision tips, make Luma Tweeze the easiest to use tweezers ever created!

I like that these tweezers give me the wanted magnification and the precision when tweezing. It’s so much nicer than getting blinded by one of those large magnified, very brightly lighted bathroom mirrors! These are great to keep one for around the house and I can throw one in my purse for on the go fashion or bug stinging emergencies. And no worries about  these tweezers damaging anything else whether in my bathroom draw or in my purse with the tips because there’s a cap to go on the the Luma Tweeze when you are through.

Overall,I am pretty happy with this product as it’s very easy to handle!  I consider it a must have for all your tweezing needs.

I never knew the wonders that flat irons worked until just recently.  It all started with the need for a a hair cut/trim. I hadn’t gotten paid yet and was getting pretty desperate to have my hair trimmed to rid it of all my split ends, so I let my husband have go at it. I remember thinking it couldn’t be too bad a request could it? It was not a good request at all. My hair was pretty long and my husband just couldn’t’ get it all even it resulted in a not very desirable hair cut.  So I knew I had to make a professional appointment to get everything fixed and that my friends was one of the best choices I could have ever made and should have made in the first place!Instead of just getting my hair shaped up, I decided to go totally with a new look. I’m a mom of a toddler and a baby on the way so I don’t have a ton of time to style my hair when heading out the door. I decided to go with something manageable yet stylish, and much shorter than I usually keep my hair. Trust me, if it was any longer I would automatically put my hair up in a clip or the well known mom pony tail. So what did I choose but an angled bob which no doubt it the perfect haircut for me.

During my hair cut, I saw the magic that Professional Flat Irons could work on hair for the very first time ever! My hair went from out of shape, to cute, stylish, and shiny literally in minutes! Soon after my visit to the salon, I acquired my own Karmin G3 Pro flat iron and have been nothing but happy with it. I can style my own hair in no time and it’ll stay that way for days or until I wash it! I love the fact also that flat irons can do more than straighten but can curl your hair in or out depending on your preference! So like me I bet you may be interested in getting your own flat iron but have no idea where to start! One place you can check out is Hair Products Pro. They offer a huge selection of flat irons from name brands such as Karmin, Hana, NuMe Flat Irons, and not just that but other professional hair styling products such as hair dryers, scissors, curling irons, and more.

I really like Hair Products Pro because they offer full products descriptions, suggestions, reviews, and the site if very easy to navigate! I’m sure they’ll make any future hair styling products or accessories purchases much easier and assuring.

Do you have a Flat Iron and if you do, how has your experience been with it?
