My Review: I was really excited to be chosen for this product review.  My Mother-In-Law had just bought her first ever Smart Phone after having a "dumb" flip phone for the past decade.  Since she has had her new phone she has almost dropped it a dozen times while out biking with her dog.  Or she just doesn't bring her phone and no one can get a hold of her for a few hours.  Which isn't always good because we have family with health issues she helps care for, she babysits my kids and will take them biking too, or we just need to call her and can't.  So by getting this arm band I thought this would be perfect so she can keep her phone on her at all times and not worry about dropping it or breaking it, because her phone is an iPhone 4S.

As this was going to be a surprise for her I wanted my husband to test it out first to see how it works for him, because he loves listening to music while biking or jogging while at the hotel when he's traveling for work.  So we tested his Samsung phone with this product.  It wasn't all that easy to slide into the plastic package at first, but once we took off the case it fit so much better.  But my husband said it was frustrating to take off his phone case just to put it in this exercise arm band to go work out.  He knows his Mother wouldn't want to do this, and that was strike number one against this product for us.  Strike number two was that the metal piece pinched his arm skin no matter how loose or tight he made this armband.  Normally I try to offer suggestions to the issues with products, but I'm not really sure how to fix this issue, which made me decide this isn't worth giving to my Mother-In-Law since my husband doesn't even want to wear it because of the pinching.

Pros: easy to use when the phone case is off

Cons: having to take off the phone case to use, pinching the arm skin to

My Review: When I got this product I showed it to my Mother-In-Law who was more excited that I got it than I was.  I've used shampoo and conditioner with Tea Tree Oil in it, but other than that, I've had no other experience with this essential oil.  But because I had heard of it I was very curious about it, and wanted to learn more, and see what else it can do for my body.  Let me tell you, getting this product is cool, but having the company give you a free "How to Use" booklet is super helpful.  There are so many ways you can use this product, I didn't even know.  Just to name a few benefits that I personally found interesting: Its great for shampoos and conditioners to help improve the quality of your scalp.  It can be made into a spot remover. You can make a deodorant from this product.  A sore muscle relaxer.  These are just a few things that you can use Tea Tree Oil for.

When using this product I specifically used it to help my scalp and hair (because it leaves your scalp tingly and super clean feeling like a scalp massage), to remove skin tags, and as a skin toner or soother.  This is basically an essential oil so the scent/ smell/ fragrance is strong, REALLY strong.  So follow the recipes other wise you'll have that smell about you all day long.  As I have been using this product, I have to say I really love the feel of this when I use it for my hair, skin and scalp.  I see really good benefits, when using those recipes.  I haven't been brave enough to try making the deodorant, detergent, or anything toothpaste/ mouth wash wise.  I also haven't been brave enough to make the stain remover recipe either, but I think I will give it a try because I have very active children and stains seem to follow them with all their clothes: school, church, and play.  For the few items that I've tried I have been pleased with the results.  However, there is only one negative thing I can say about this product is that one the bottle's label itself it mentions that you can use this product to remove skin tags, but the "How to Guide" doesn't tell you how, or give you a recipe to make and follow.  I wish there was more information about this specific product use.  Other than that I'm happy with using this product, and the results I'm getting.

Pros: love the product, love the benefits, LOVE the "How to Guide"

Cons: there aren't recipes or how to guides for all the benefits mentioned on the bottle's label

My Review: When I first saw the package and read about this product I thought they were offering a really nice scrubby or brush, or product similar to a pumice rock.  So when I saw the metal edged plastic wedge, I was totally surprised.  In addition, I was very skeptical about this metal piece actually working, and worried that it was sharp and would be slicing or cutting open my skin.  I tested my face first, and WOW, completely surprised that it actually works.  The first time I tested this product, I first washed my face free of makeup, then did a deep pour cleanse, then used the metal exfoliator on my face, even after 2 face washes, that exfoliator still got a TON of gunk off my face.  It was gross, cool, and weird all at the same time.  So then I decided to test out the body exfoliator.  When I tested that I didn't notice as much stuff coming off my skin, but my skin has been smoother, my leg shaving is better, with less ingrown hairs.  So its working.  It works.  Surprisingly it works WELL.  I have to recommend this product because it works.  I am still so baffled that it does.  I was completely ready to give this product a thumbs down, but I can't.  This  product can be used daily or periodically in the shower or bath...basically you can use it as often as you want without it causing damage or harming your skin.  It is best to use this in the shower after your skin is very wet and "supple" because it opens up your pours and softens your pours so the gunk can more easily be removed.

Pros: works!

Cons: none

CoQ10 Speed

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Details: CoQ10 QSpeed is a fast melt dietary supplement.  40 fast melt tablets per box, 100mg of CoQ10 per tablet.  Supports heart health, enhances cellular energy production, supports exercise performance, published clinical data via the company.  Delicious orange flavored tables that dissolve in your mouth in seconds.  100% natural, and caffeine free. Directions: as a dietary supplement, take 1-3 tablets daily.  If taking in conjunction with exercise, consume 1-3 tablets 20-40 minutes before initial exertion.  Place QSpeed tablets on the top of your tongue and allow it to dissolve while lightly pressing the tongue against the roof of your mouth.  The tablet will disintegrate.  You can purchase this on Amazon.

My Review:  A few years ago, I went to the doctor, and found out that my heart needs extra CoQ10 to keep it functioning properly.  So I regularly take CoQ10 on a daily basis.  I've tried different brands and types of CoQ10, and they have all been a big giant horse pill that I have to swallow.  Not an easy task to perform all the time.  So when I saw this company offers QSpeed, in dissolving tablets I had to try them.  I was a little worried that the product wouldn't taste very good, and so I'd go back to my horse pills (because I'd rather gag one of those down then let something nasty dissolve on my tongue.  I WAS TOTALLY SURPRISED!!!  The orange taste is actually really good, it doesn't have any chalky texture or taste which is a huge plus, and I'm actually remembering on a daily basis to take my vitamins.  I am very impressed with QSpeed, I feel really good when I take it, there is no yucky after taste, or unpleasant churning of your stomach juices.  For people who need to take CoQ10 on a daily basis or need a quick boost before working out, this is the way to go.  Fast, easy, simple to remember, simple to take and seconds later your body had the CoQ10 that it needs.  I highly recommend this product.  I look forwards to seeing more products like this from this company.

My Review:  I love mud face masks, so I thought that a mud shampoo would be very cleansing and pure for my hair as well.  When I think about mud I think of a thick solution or mixture.  After opening this product and testing it out, I realized instantly that this is not thick, but actually really thin, and kind of gooey.  The shampoo is gun metal gray in color, there is a sheen to the shampoo.  This lathers into a large amount of bubbles when in your hair, feels great to use, smells nice and fresh, but isn't over powering.  I have looked at the ingredients and can't really place what the scent is, so if you have a perfume allergy (yes this is a real allergy), I would want to ask before using, just to be safe.  I haven't really noticed a difference in my hair since using it, but I needed to trade out shampoos and this is a great substitute.  So for me saying it works or it doesn't I am unable to say honestly.  It washes out easily and quickly, and I'll even let it sit in my hair for up to 3 minutes in the shower to give it extra time to work nicely in my hair.  I give this product a thumbs up and down.  Meaning its a good shampoo to use, but I honestly don't think there is anything special about it, even though it has Dead Sea mud silt.  Maybe as I continue to use this, in a month or two I'll see a bigger difference but right now after using it a couple of weeks I haven't really seen a good or bad change to my hair.

Pros: smells great, is soft and easy to use, washes out easy, within 2 weeks of using I don't see a negative difference

Cons: within 2 weeks of using I don't see a good difference,

My Review:  I love wearing green, it brings out the green flecks in my hazel eyes.  I also love celebrating St. Patrick's Day.  Its so fun to wear green, eat green food, and play fun games with friends and family and especially my kids.  Even though what I got was a men's t-shirt, after the first washing it shrank enough for me to wear it.  I love it.  Its comfy, a tag-less tee, and soft.  I love the bright colors of the orange, white and kelly green.  The bubble text and images of this t-shirt, to me don't look like men's designs, but rather a women's design.  My husband when he saw it, was hoping to get a t-shirt out of my hard work, but when he saw the images he didn't want it because it didn't look manly.  So I'm very happy to get a cool holiday t-shirt!  I have worn this a lot since getting it and have washed and dried it already.  What I have noticed is that the ink is started to crack or rub off in a few areas of the t-shirt.  I believe this is happening because the ink is so thick.  Thinner applied ink from some of the company's other designs shouldn't have this issue.

Pros: great product, love the colors, soft and comfortable, breathes

Cons: imagery isn't really manly, ink is starting to crack/ rub off
