Products You Can Feel Good About: Toms of Maine Review + GIVEAWAY

by Leave a Comment

I’ve always heard lots of good things about Tom’s of Maine but have actually never got to try any of their natural products out for myself, until now!

If you haven’t heard of Tom’s of Maine, they are a fabulous company that sells natural skin care and even oral care products! Along with being good for you and good for the earth, 10% of all profits are donated to charity! How fabulous is that? Tom’s of Maine has been in the biz for over 40 years, so you know you are getting great quality products that have been fine tuned for years! Oh and my favorite part about Toms of Maine – NO animal testing!

Here are some of the wonderful products I got to test out: Tom’s of Maine body soap, deodorant, floss, toothpaste, and a cool recyclable plant-based, BPA-free toothbrush!


I got a few bars of soap to try out and loved them all! They all had really great scents and felt super silky and moisturizing on my skin! I kept one in the shower and one by the sink to wash my hands, and while using these soap bars, my skin felt less dry than normal (I tend to have pretty dry skin). While I don’t have sensitive skin, this soap is great for those who do! There are no artificial or synthetic ingredients. The bar is super gentle and contains chamomile, olive oil, and vitamin E for moisturizing and soothing irritated skin!

Next up was the deodorant. I’ve actually never tried a natural deodorant before but absolutely loved using it. It had a nice scent and went on smoothly. It kept me dry throughout the day and kept odor at bay, which is amazing considering the crazy heat wave we have had here in Wyoming the last few weeks, and the fact that my house has no Air Conditioning!

Tom’s uses hops and zinc ricinoleate (from castor beans and the mineral zinc) to absorb bad odors and neutralize the smell! This deodorant also contains vitamin E and aloe, that in turns soothes and moisturizes the skin. No aluminum or propylene glycol can be found in these deodorants! The fragrance in Tom’s of Maine deodorant is 100% natural!


I also absolutely loved using my Tom’s of Maine oral care products! The floss is spearmint and feels so refreshing after use! It easily glided through my teeth, pulling out lots of icky things. What really impressed me was how strong it was! My mouth is small and my teeth are packed in there tightly together so I have to use super thin floss, otherwise, I’m breaking it all day long! This floss never broke on me once! A few times I thought it was going to, and it would unravel a tiny little bit, but it held up and finished the job for me every single time!

The Cool BPA-free, recyclable plant-based handle toothbrush had soft bristles and felt gentle on my teeth while still giving it a good scrub down! The handle fits nicely in my hands and had good grip. I felt like it did a great job of really cleaning my teeth!

Lastly, but certainly not least was my Tom’s of Maine Toothpaste. I loved that it had a different taste than your standard toothpaste but still left my mouth feeling super fresh and clean. I also really liked that it doesn’t contain fluoride. My toothpaste was gentle and refreshing and I loved that it was also 100% Natural!

Overall, I loved using my natural Tom’s of Maine products! I love that there are solutions out there that are completely natural, yet super effective! I also feel great about buying from Tom’s of Maine, knowing that they are donating 10% of profits to charity and not testing on animals!

The Perfect Shave! Dorco Shai Razor Review

by 2 Comments

I’ve always been on the hunt for the perfect razor, and I’ll admit, I thought I had found one or two. I guess for the most part, all razors kind of seemed the same to me, unless its a disposable – big difference! But for most razors that have 4 or 5 blades, the shave seems to always be about the same. I will get a few nicks here and there but a pretty close shave for the most part. Lately it seems like everyone has jumped on the moisturizing bar train and I thought that was the best thing ever too. However, I have longgg legs (I’m 5’10) and by the time I’m done shaving them and headed to my bikini area, my moisturizing bar is pretty much gone, and I still tend to get lots of razor burn there.

Well I recently got to try a new razor, the Dorco Shai 6 blade soft touch razor!  If you look at this picture you can see this razor is a little different than most razors. The head flexes right down the middle so you have three blades on each side that really get those funny angles perfectly!

While I don’t always go to the salon, when I do, I almost always where the wrong shoes and end up having to borrow some of their gross thongs or I put my shoes back on and almost always smear my pedi no matter how long I wait for it to dry!
I once paid for a $80 pedicure with this gorgeous shade of green and sat there talking with my friend for probably an hour before I put my flats back on and left. When I got home, my big toes on both feet were smeared! I was so frustrated. This is probably why I most often stick to giving my self pedicures at home, but I often smear my pedi at home too by bumping it into the a couch or the door, or by dropping something on it!

Then  just slide your feet onto your flip flops, on top of the Pedi-Protexx! Voila! As you can see below, nothing can possibly get to your toes now, except for air to help dry them faster.

The Answer to Looking Younger without Spending A Fortune: Novo Solutions

by 1 Comment

Never heard of the Novo Solutions MD skincare brand before? I hadn’t either until recently, but It will be a name I use and love from now on!

Novo Solutions MD was designed to increase collagen in the skin and decrease wrinkles! It is the only skin care system on the market that uses Novo-Serum, a rich blend of vitamins, nutrients, proteins, cell signalers, and growth factors that all work together to give you younger-looking skin by promoting skin cells to grow and produce more collagen. In Fact, you will find a rich blend of 24 moisturizers in the Novo Solutions Serums, as well as 12 different antioxidants, 6 different collagen stimulants, and several neuro peptides, vitamins, and anti-inflmattory, and antibacterial agents! Best of all, you can see every one of these ingredients listed on the box! How often does that happen? I’m constantly wondering what I’m really putting on my skin because so many companies hide the ingredients!

Novo Solutions MD offers a variety of serums and creams to help you find your fountain of youth! Choose from exfoliants, cleansers, renewal creams, and more!

I recently got my hands on the Novo Duo Eye Serum and Face Serum and couldn’t wait to try them out! Especially because it is guaranteed to give you results in just 30 days! On their website you will find clinical trials and the results of many who have used, loved, and saw real results while using this product! Check it out HERE, its really impressive! 94% of users experienced more youthful skin from using the Novo Solutions MD eye and face serum! Wow!

First off, I love the unique look of the bottles, they feel so luxurious sitting on my bathroom counter too! When you pump them you can get as little or as much serum as you like. I loved that, because I feel like the bottles that give you a designated amount are either too much or not enough, and then I’m just waiting expensive skin care products! These bottles are super easy to use and give you the perfect amount every single time!

I really loved how gentle both the eye and face serum felt on my skin. I got no weird stinging, tingling, or redness. The Eye Serum was especially gentle around the eyes and never once did it cause any pain or weirdness. Instead it felt super smooth and luxurious on my skin. I also loved the thickness for a serum. I’m not a fan of runny serums or eye creams, because I feel like they just sit on top of my skin and my skin doesn’t really get the vitamins and nutrients. Novo Solutions MD eye and face serums are the perfect consistency and glided right over my skin and my skin soaked it right up, so that it wasn’t even noticeable on my skin after a few minutes!

After using this product for a few weeks, I feel like my skin does look and feel more youthful. While I have only some crows feet, I do feel like they have been softened a bit. The biggest difference is how my skin feels. It feels well moisturized, smoother, and softer. I had a few nights with very little sleep while using Novo Solutions MD and I felt like it did a better job at masking my tired eyes and skin. I felt like it made my skin look more awake, glowy, and ready for the day!

If you would like to learn more about the Novo Solutions MD skincare line, see others customers testimonials and/or purchase some product for yourself, you can check them out at NovoSolutionsMD.com!

Wondering if those At-Home Teeth Whiteners Actually Work? Here’s some Proof it does

by 4 Comments

I’m a bit obsessed with teeth whitening, and so far this year I’ve tried three different kinds. The latest is the Smile Sciences Teeth Whitening Brush! I’ve been using it now for about a month and have been super happy with the results!
First off, this is about as easy as teeth whitening gets! Simply dry the front of your teeth with a tissue, pop the top of the Smile Sciences pen, and click to bring up the teeth whitener to the brush, then brush up and down on the front of your teeth. Takes about 30 seconds! Then just smile widely for about 30 more seconds to give the teeth whitener time to soak into your teeth!
I’ve been doing this every night before bed, after brushing my teeth, for the last month, and have been so happy with the results!
Here are some pics of before and after to show you the difference:
BEFORE:
AFTER:

My teeth have definently lightened a few shades. I think where its most noticeable is between the teeth! It looks so much cleaner and brighter there!

 

The Smile Sciences Pen can lighten up to 9 shades in just days and is FDA approved. It is incredibly fast and convenient and one of my favorite parts is that I had ZERO teeth sensitivity while using this product every day! I was absolutely impressed by that!
Smile Sciences is both safe and effective and gives you professional results!

I really enjoyed using this product and of the two other teeth whitening products I’ve tried so far this year, this one is by far my favorite! The other two took a lot more time and made my teeth crazy sensitive! I was so happy Smile Sciences gave me great results in seconds and I experienced no teeth sensitivity while using this product!
