The SaniManiPedi Liquid Solution is 100% natural - a proprietary formula using nature's richest moisturizers, cleansing oils and natural antiseptics. The SaniManiPedi Manicure and Pedicure Kit with all professional grade stainless steel tools, is the gold standard in manicure and pedicure safety, purposed to minimize the risk of cross-contamination from improperly sanitized salon tools. SaniManiPedi is a green company, and all manicure and pedicure products come in eco-friendly packaging.
Ten percent of all profits are donated to children's charities. "
My thoughts:
I'm very picky where i go to get my nails and pedicures done. I always make sure the facilities and nail areas are clean and sanitized before i sit down to get my services done. I always worry about germs and cross contamination so i was so excited to do a review for SaniManiPedi! They sent me a kit that contained stainless steel nail tools and packets of sanitizing foot soak. I brought the tools and foot soak to my next pedicure appointment. My pedicurist said that she loved the tools, that they were of high quality, can easily be sanitized and she will recommend SaniManiPedi Kit to all her clients!
The Manicure and Pedicure Kit Contains Professional Grade:

Stainless steel nail clipper
Stainless steel pusher
Stainless steel cuticle nipper
Orange stick
File
Callus stone
Two samples of the SaniManiPedi Liquid Solution

Another thing i loved about this kit is that it comes in a little canvas organizer. It rolls up, ties tightly and you can fit it in your glove box of your car so you never forget it on those last minute appointments!
You are so much safer from cross contamination to bring your own nail tools to your appointments. I will definitely continue bringing my SaniManiPedi Kit!

Review: Eco Store USA

About them:

"Our eco friendly household cleaning products are as effective as the leading supermarket brands, and our body and baby care ranges are gentle on your skin and are simply beautiful to use. Our hand and body washes are made from naturally derived ingredients that gently cleanse, condition and nourish your skin. All of our products are made from plant- and mineral-based ingredients, free of toxic chemicals, that bring people closer to nature with non-toxic, environmentally safe solutions that also help to reduce our carbon footprint."

Eco Store was gracious enough to let me review two awesome products!

The first was the Baby Sleepy Time Bath. I have a really hard time sleeping at night a lot. I thought why not give this Baby Bath Time stuff a shot? I know its for babies but it could work for me. When it came in the mail, right away i went and took a bath and added a few capsules of the Bath Time. I soaked in the hot bath for about 25 minutes. When i got out i felt very relaxed. I went to bed soon after the bath and slept great without waking! This stuff really works and has a very soothing lavender scent to it. Its perfect for everyone and i highly recommend trying it!                         

The second product i tried from Eco Store was the Citrus Based All Purpose Cleaner.

                I cannot tell you enough how much i love this stuff! I'm really sensitive to smells and my skin is also really sensitive. Its very difficult for me to find cleaning products that are natural, eco friendly and don't contain harmful chemicals. Then i tried Eco Store All Purpose Cleaner! The smell it leaves is a fresh natural scent. It didnt irritate my skin the slightest bit. I love that i could use it around kids and my dogs and wouldn't have to worry about harmful chemicals hurting them. Now i now many natural cleaners don't actually clean very well but this All Purpose Cleaner removes grime and other messes with ease and works great.

Also feel free to visit them on there Facebook page here and there Twitter page here.

Reivew and Giveaway: Food Should Taste Good Chips

About Food Should Taste Good:

"CEO and founder Pete Lescoe created Food Should Taste Good, Inc in 2006 with the goal of making a unique new snack with great taste, healthy ingredients, and sophisticated flavor - the qualities he is most passionate about in food. Based in Needham Heights, Massachusetts, Food Should Taste Good, Inc is a small company and growing fast.

With a brand name that says it all, Food Should Taste Good chips are made from the highest quality, all-natural ingredients baked into the chips. All chip varieties are gluten free, cholesterol free, have no trans fats and do not use genetically modified ingredients (GMOs). They are also certified Kosher, low in sodium and are a good source of dietary fiber. The chips combine the crunchiness of a chip, the crispiness of a cracker, and the dippability of a tortilla chip. "
My Thoughts:

These chips are awesome! The chips come in many unique flavors! Food Should Taste Good sent me a box of multi grain, blue corn, jalapeno, sweet potato, yellow corn and cheddar flavor chips. All of the chips tasted great! My favorite was the Cheddar flavor.
The also sent me a pink bag of multi grain chips that help support breast cancer! You can help support the cure by Food Should Taste Good here.
These chips are healthy but taste great! Believe me its hard to find good tasting chips that are not packed with chemicals and unhealthy oils. I finally found a good healthy snack that i can feel good about eating! My husband loved taking them to work to snack on and my guests loved the chips especially served with some guacamole. From now on these chips will definitely be my go-to chip!


Food Should Taste Good has also been gracious enough to host a giveaway and offer one of my readers a Sample Pack! (5 bags of chips of their choice).

Review and Giveaway: Soft Lips Lip Balm

If you know me you know I'm obsessed with lip stuff. I love gloss, lip balm, lipstick. You name it. But i always have a hard time finding lip products that keep my lips moistened and sun protected with out having to re-apply it every 5 minutes.

Then i tried Soft Lips.

First the flavors are amazing and they smell delicious! My personal favorite is the

Sugar Plum Berry.

Second, Soft Lips have 20 SPF in all their lip balm! So your lips will be protected from the suns harmful rays constantly!

Third, the Soft Lips lip balm has more of a butter texture than waxy which i prefer. I have tried waxy textured lip balm and they seem to never hold any moister on my lips and it feels like the balm  just stays on the surface of my lips. Not the case with Soft Lips though!  

Forth, I didn't have to keep applying it every 5 minutes. Once i applied it, it lasted at least a few hours!

I carry Soft Lips with me every where i go now. I keep one in my office drawer at work, one on my night stand table next to my bed, 2 in my purse and one in my make up bag.

Soft Lips have also been gracious enough to host a giveaway and offer one of my readers

 5 Limited Edition Winter Flavor Lips Balms!

Review and Giveaway: Yoreganics Laundry Trio Sampler

Yoreganics is Eco friendly company making laundry and bath products that are 100% natural and pure.
Kim was sweet enough to send me the Yoreganics Laundry Trio Sampler.
I have been trying to be more Eco Friendly. Chemicals are in everything now. Especially laundry detergent.
I have very sensitive skin and finding a laundry detergent that doesn't break me out in hives is hard to find. Until i tried Yoreganics.
The sampler included soap nuts: Soap nuts fall from the Soapberry tree found in Northern India and Nepal.
The outta shell of theses dried fruit berries contain saponin which creates a natural soap later when agitated in water.
Its also included a mini bottle of stain remover. The citrus smell is wonderful! And the remover really works!
It removes ink, blood, salad dressing, spaghetti sauce, pet accidents and more!
I also received a bag of powder that whitens and brightens clothes:
It contains no bleach, fragrances or phosphates. and works great to get out any stubborn stain. Its also color safe!!!
I did the ultimate test and sprayed some stain remover on very stinky wet towels. I added some whitener to the hot water before loading in the towels and threw in the soap nuts! (They are kept contained in the cutest little bag!) When the load was finished washing my towels, they smelled so clean and fresh! Not like the fake scents that just mask the smell in most chemical store bought detergents.

Yoreganics have also been gracious enough to host a giveaway and offer one of my readers a Yoreganics Laundry Trio!

The intricate work of the design is amazing and the sterling sliver makes them strong, but light and durable. 
They are a very versatile type of earring. You can wear from day to night. I gave them to my mom because she adored them so much! She wears them with pretty much everything.

L'uvalla refreshes, balances and restores your skin with the highest levels of all-natural active ingredients and pure, essential nutrients. Your skin never looked so good—or felt so loved."


I love skin care and obsessed with keeping my skin as clean and clear as possible. I have really really sensitive dry skin though so i have to be extremely careful in what products i use. I used only organic paraben free (so they say) products but some how i still ended up with my skin being irritated.


So i gave L'uvalla Skin Care a shot.

It was love at first face wash.

I tried the L'uvalla Anti Aging Hydrating Milk Cleanser.
First, it comes in a 7 fl. oz container that will seriously last you months!

Second, It is a very smooth light cream and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and soft. It may be a milk cleanser but it doesn't leave a residue like other brands of milk cleanser.

Third, The smell is absolutely amazing!
It delivers a relaxing comforting lavender smell.

Fourth, it only took one wash with about a pea size amount of cleanser to rid of all my eye and face make up! With other brands i have to wash my face sometimes 3 times to get everything off! Not the case with this cleanser!

I also tried L'uvalla  Anti Aging Orange Toner:

Normally I'm not a huge fan of using toner because it dries out my skin but L'uvalla Orange Toner did not do that.

It was very soothing and calming and didn't reek of the smell of alcohol.

It doesn't contain any either which i think is a great plus because the effects of alcohol on your skin can be very damaging.

The orange extract smell is great and not overpowering at all.

L'uvalla Skin Care has also been gracious enough to host a giveaway and offer one of my readers the Balancing System which is a 3-Step System (Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize) $106 value for Normal, Oily or Combination Skin!

The giveaway is open to all in the US.

One winner will be chosen randomly using random.org. I will notify the winner via email, you will have 2 days to respond with your info. After the 2 days is up and no response, a new winner will be chosen.
