Spongelle® Heart Body Buffer Review and Giveaway

spongelleA perfect Valentine’s Day gift!

When I saw that I had the opportunity to try the new scent from Spongelle (made by Spongeables), I was so excited! The heart-shaped Spongelle® Heart Body Buffer has shower gel infused into a buffer sponge.  It is excellent for exfoliation for that dry winter skin you may have. Having shower gel already included with the sponge is so convenient. The sponge also dries quickly, too! This sponge with body wash is supposed to last at least 10 washes, but it has been my experience that the sponges usually last twice as long as the label says they should. At around $10-$13 per sponge, the Spongelle Heart Body Buffer is definitely worth the money.

I have tried several of the other varieties of Spongeable products in the past, including the Lavender Tea-tree Pedi-Scrub Foot Buffer and the Lavendar Nectar Spongeable. I enjoyed using these products, so I was more than enthusiastic to try the Comme Moi Peony Cassis scent that features bergamot, lemongrass, sea kelp extracts and olive oil. This peony-scented sponge has a very strong floral aroma. If you don’t like strong scented soaps, I would recommend one of the other scents from the Spongeables line. There is definitely a scent for everyone, but I think that the Comme Moi Peony Cassis is the strongest scent I have tried so far.

Another plus to this product is the aromatherapy from the scent! It definitely will invigorate you and brighten your mood. It sure did for me! I highly recommend any of the sponges in the Spongeables line of products. I have seen these at my local CVS, and you can also buy them online at the Spongeables website or at Amazon.

Noxicare™ Natural Pain Relief Supplements Review and Giveaway

It’s a new year, and you’ve resolved to develop healthier habits. This includes exercising, eating healthier and being a better you. Part of your new routine should include taking vitamins or supplements during this year’s tough flu season. You need to keep your body strong.  You need to be sure that you get all the nutrients that our body needs on a daily basis. Using a daily multivitamin supplement can help you to be a healthier person.

I recently received a bottle of Noxicare Women’s Once Daily MulitvitaminsNoxicare is the a company that makes natural pain relief products.  Now they have developed  a line of health and wellness supplements. Noxicare Women’s Once Daily Multivitamins contain essential vitamins and minerals that are important for women’s cell growth, immune health and healthy female hormone function. Each vitamin contains Organic Cultured Herbal, Vegetable, Fruit, Sprout, Spice and Glyconutrient Blends.

I really like how Noxicare vitamins do not contain any sugar, salt, dairy, wheat, gluten, soy, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors.  Pills with added fillers usually make my stomach upset, so I’m glad these supplements don’t have any! These vitamins contain nutrients and enzymes from organic, whole foods. The only negative that I see is that the vitamin pills are extremely large. However, what vitamins aren’t big? Plus, you only have to take one, not a handful of them like some other supplement companies suggest.


The Noxicare Women’s Once Daily Multivitamin Supplement is only $27.95 per bottle which contains 60 tablets. It has a once daily recommended dosage.  That’s about 50 cents a day for some added energy and immune support during this difficult cold and flu season.

Mia Mariu Mineral Cosmetics Review and Giveaway

I like to use makeup that has natural ingredients such as minerals, botanicals, and vitamins.  Recently, I got the opportunity to try several products from the Mia Mariu line of mineral cosmetics. I tried the following products:

  • Mia Mariu Mineral Loose Powder Foundation

At first, I was worried about how I was going to pick the correct shade of foundation when I couldn’t see the makeup in person. However, the photos on the Mia Mariu website helped me to choose the shade that I wanted. The shade was PERFECT! The process couldn’t have been any easier.

  • Mia Mariu Perfect Blending Foundation Brush

I like how the foundation brush did not have the bristles too widely spread apart, like some brushes from other lines of mineral makeup. This allowed me to be able to apply the foundation in a more concentrated manner, without having to dip my brush in the makeup over and over. What a time saver!

  • Mia Mariu Perfecting Finish Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara

I am in love with the Mia Mariu mascara. Why is this mascara so great? It’s FLAT! No more rolling off the counter. Why didn’t I get this sooner? I’m glad to have it now, and don’t know if I’ll ever go back to using another brand, just because my mascara will no longer go flying off my sink while I’m trying to put on my makeup :-)

I have enjoyed using various brands of mineral makeup through the years. Overall, I really can’t see any negatives to the Mia Mariu mineral cosmetics line. Mia Mariu is definitely a company to keep in mind when buying your makeup!

Noxicare™ Natural Pain Relief Cream: Review and Giveaway


Noxicare

Are you interested in using pain relief products that have natural ingredients in them? Noxicare™ Natural Pain Relief Cream is an effective combination of natural components that relieve inflammation, muscle aches and nerve pain.  I recently got to try Noxicare pain relief cream to help ease the pain in my sore neck and back muscles.

Sometimes after sitting at the computer for several hours, I get a stiff neck and shoulders. This cream has some surprisingly powerful herbs and extracts that are natural pain relievers. Some of the key ingredients in Noxicare are turmeric, willow bark, ginger, rosemary, basil, and alpha lipoic acids. You would expect the cream to have a yellowish color, since it contains turmeric. However, I think the cream had a white color.  The cream did not have any odor at all. This is one of the best features of this product. It was slightly greasy, but less greasy than sun tan lotion. This did not bother me, and I felt comfortable sleeping with it on.  I didn’t feel like I needed to race to the shower to rinse it off when I woke up in the morning.

Noxicare was really effective in relieving the pain in my neck and shoulders. I really like this cream, and will definitely be using it again. You can purchase Noxicare on their website. They will be selling this product in pill form in the next few months. I look forward to trying it.

Sponsor Spotlight: Life Peak Hand Sanitizer Dispenser Review

PhotobucketLife Peak is my sponsor for the New Year’s Hoppin’ Eve event, which takes place from December 28th – January 2nd, 2012. Here is a preview of the product we are giving away for the event with an article by my husband, Joe Sparks. Can you tell he’s an engineer? :-)

The Life Peak hand sanitizer dispenser is a great addition to my office cubicle.  It allows me to quickly cleanse my hands without having to walk down the hall to the nearest sink.  It leaves a fresh clean scent on your hands.  Aesthetics are good too.  The blue light on top shining through the liquid bag provides a unique futuristic look.

After bringing the dispenser to work last week, it was quickly the center of attention.  At first, my coworkers where a little unsure what it was.  One coworker saw it and was scared to put his hand underneath, thinking he would be shocked! Once convinced it was safe, most of them gave it a try.  By the end of the day they were visiting to sanitize frequently.  Some of them are already interested in getting their own dispenser.  It is great to promote and aid in office cleanliness.  Now I am not shaking anyone’s hand until it is sanitized. 
When you receive your dispenser here are a few tips.  Initial assembly is a little tricky, so don’t just throw away the manual when you unpack the box.  There is both battery and plug in options for the light and sensor.  Plugging it in worked great at my desk.  Once you find a permanent spot it can also be hung on the wall.  The lowest flow rate setting is sufficient for most cases; we adjusted this for the highest setting and it was enough sanitizer for three people.  Finally, be careful when moving the dispenser.  Sanitizer leaks out if the dispenser is not kept upright. 
Now my next concern will be finding a good deal on refills!
Visit Life Peak to purchase yours now, or come back on December 28, 2011 to enter to win one!
