For Happy Baby Organic Teethers in Sweet Potato and Banana

food

When I first bought this product for Dean, he didn’t like it and would not eat it at 6 months old. I kept these around until he got better at eating, since they are individually packed, they would not go stale. He powered through these at 1 years old. I would not repurchase, because they are rice teething wafers and he can just as easily teeth on an animal cracker. I bought these when he was young where he would need something that would dissolve easily. Now that he is older, he doesn’t need something like this anymore. I do recommend this product. I think that it is good for a young baby, especially if they are teething when they are that young, just don’t give them too may rice products due to the arsenic found in bleached rice.

A Double Review Special: Hydration Mask & True Glow Eye Cream

For *Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask

What it is:

A face mask boosting collagen production, increasing skin radiance, reducing fine lines, and securing skin moisture.

Key Ingredients:

Japanese green tea, aloe vera, organic rosehip seed oil, silk protein amino acid blend, botanical hylauronic acid, organic sea buckthorn oil, and water. It is 98% natural, suitable for all skin types, cruelty free, alcohol and paraben free, and made in the USA.

How it feels/smells/looks:

The mask has the the color and texture of custard. It feels cool going onto the skin and begins to tingle but not sting. My face was a bit red after removing the mask, but cleared up within a couple of minutes. It smells like elementary school to me: like pencil shavings. The smell actually brings back found memories, so I do not mind the odd smell.

Why I like it:

This face mask is very interesting and different. I have never tried a hydrating face mask before, because I have oily skin and never thought that I needed extra hydration. Since having a baby, my skin has been a bit on the drier side and losing that fresh glow my face always had. I applied this mask on to cover my whole face. This gave my face a jaundice glow while wearing it, completing freaking my dad out at first. I enjoyed the pamper feeling that masks give me and I enjoyed this on at the full 30 minutes recommended. After removing the mask, I did feel that my face looked brighter and softer. I cannot comment on reducing fine lines, but my skin did look instantly better after using. I did find that the next day this did give my skin a small rash. I’m hoping cutting down the time applied to fifteen minutes will allow me to enjoy the mask without the rash. My skin is not sensitive, so I wouldn’t recommend this mask to people with sensitive skin. This mask definitely does make your skin look instantly better and radiant.

For *Valentia True Glow Eye Cream

What it is:

An intensive corrective eye treatment that reduces wrinkles, nourishes and hydrates, tightens eye area, brightens dark circles, and restores radiance.

Key Ingredients:

Astanxanthin, resistem, vitamin C, organic rosehip oil, amica, water, and honeysuckle. It is 98% natural, suitable for all skin types, cruelty free, alcohol and paraben free, and made in the USA.

How it feels/smells/looks:

This cream is orange colored and light weight. It sinks into the skin right away and feels slightly cooling. It smells like oranges as well. I really love the packaging and how expensive the product looks. It is also nice that the bottle is glass and tinted to best preserve all of the good, natural ingredients.

Why I like it:

I have been using this eye cream at night ever since I got this product in the mail. It has a great light orange scent as I apply the product. It sinks right in which allows me to continue onto my facial moisturizer without having to wait for it to sink in. I definitely do feel a tightening effect when I use this product, but only time will tell if it brightens my hereditary dark circles.  I enjoy using this product and will look into trying out more products from Valentia. Twenty-five dollars does not seem too expensive for a quality product that I  enjoy. I would say to be careful when applying this. I got a tiny bit of this cream on my lower lash line and it burned and irritated my eye. It was not a pleasant experience, but as long as you are careful, it shouldn’t irritate.

G’Mornin’ Eye Cream!

For *OZ Naturals Super Youth Eye Gel

What it is:

An eye gel that delivers dramatically radiant and youthful eyes, eliminates dark circles and puffiness, and soothes and softens the eye area.

Key Ingredients:

Organic Aloe, kosher vegetable glycerin, plant stem cells, cucumber hydrosol, organic jojoba oil, botanical hyaluronic acid, silk amino acid blend, wildcrafted periwinkle, organic licorice, frankincense, vitamin E, matrixyl 3000, and peptide complex. It is also 75% organic.

How it feels/smells/looks:

The eye gel is thick and clear. It feels amazingly cooling on the skin and I love the slight cucumber scent. The gel takes a few minutes to skin in, but it feels like I put on an eye mask. It is that cooling. It is easy to blend into the skin and one pump is enough to use on both eyes.

Why I like it:

I have been using this product every morning since I received it in the mail. I have only been using this on my eye area, but the box does state that you can use this product all over the face to target fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness. I have used this underneath my makeup and I have to say that you do have to wait about 5 minutes or so for the gel to dry down. It is still slightly sticky/tacky, which I found helped my concealer stay on longer than it usually does. I find that it works similar to a primer in that aspect. It felt very soothing on the skin, but I did not notice any softening. That area is pretty soft to begin with on my face. I cannot make any comments on how it performs with wrinkles, since I’m only 23. It did make my eyes look less tired though and brighter. My eyes were less puffy (I sometimes cry in my sleep) and I think I see an improvement in my dark circles. I’ll have to use this product longer to be certain though. Overall, I really enjoy using this product and feel like I am getting more results than not using anything. I will be looking forward to trying more products from this affordable brand.

Blue Kitty

Blue Spa Select Classic Savory Salmon Entree
N/A US DOLLARS
5.5 oz

3 out of 5 stars

Disclaimer: My mother bought this for my cat. All opinions are my own.

I was not excited about this cat food. My cat had tried Blue before and hated it with a passion. She threw up constantly and brought this back for a refund. So, I was not excited to give this a second try. I figured since it is wet food that maybe it would be different and it was, but not by much.

1. Usage: My cat has six meals out of this can. So, it was enough meals for almost a week. I do not know how much it is, so I do not know if it is much value for your money. All I know is that this was a lot of food for my sensitive cat. 4 out of 5 stars

2. Packaging: The can has a holistic look, since it is trying to come off as a natural, better for your cat-food. I did not find the design appealing in the least. It is off putting, since I just want my cat to like the food- not have a new religion. 2 out of 5 stars

3. Scent: The smell of this product is not too bad and hardly noticeable. It is one of the product’s better qualities. Not sure if my cat agrees with me. She seems to like smellier food a lot better than this. 4 out of 5 stars

4. Performance: This food did not make my cat sick, which was a relief. However, she did not like this as much as the Friskies that I had bought her before. She did not seem as excited and took more time to finish a small plate of this than the Friskies. I want her to enjoy her wet food and not feel like it is just anyother meal but a treat. 3 out of 5 stars

5. Ingredients: Blue claims that their food is healthier than anyother brand of cat food and is probably is with all of those veggies in it, which is still filler but healthier filler. My cat is healthy and at a skinny weight for being ten years old. I don’t think eating a little bit of filler is going to harm her. I mean, people eat cow’s brains and the organs of the turkey during Thanksgiving. 5 out of 5 stars

6. Results: My cat did not really enjoy it and my cat’s opinion is really the one that matters. I will not buy this for her, but if my mom bought it, I would feed it to her. No use of it going to waste. 2 out of 5 stars

I give this product 3.3 out of five stars. It was average for her but very healthy. I think this product is out of my price range, but even if it was, she did not like it that much. I think that I will stick to Friskies.
