Bombee Honey Mask by Papa recipe Review

I love sheet masks! I tend to use different sheet masks throughout the week depending on how my face feels that day. I received the #bombee Honey Mask by #paparecipe from @0.8l_usa and I absolutely loved it. This #sheetmask has so much essence in it that when I opened it up some of the essence came out. Unlike other sheet masks that I have previously used, the sheet mask was on a white thin plastic film and I had to peel off the sheet mask from it. Then I placed the sheet mask onto my thoroughly dry cleansed face. The face mask fit perfectly over my face and gave off a slight hint of honey. The fragrance is not overpowering and was relaxing. I then poured all of the extra essence from the package and padded it onto my neck and rubbed it into my hands. I left the sheet mask on for approximately thirty minutes and peeled off the sheet mask. I then gently tapped the essence into my skin. My skin felt so soft and moisturized. Upon looking at myself in the mirror, my face looked dewy, hydrated and refreshed. If you love sheet masks then you should try this.  #paparecipe #maskpack #bombee #skincare #sheetmask #08L

Remembering The Kanji I: A Complete Course On How Not To Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters by James W. Heisig Review



I decided to wipe the dust off of Remembering The Kanji I: A Complete Course On How Not To Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters by James W. Heisig. When I first purchased the book over a year ago, I was able to study a chapter a day without forgetting the kanji, but once I got to until about chapter 35. After that it took me approximately one day to remember one, two or maybe three kanji characters a week and I just became exhausted. I just couldn't see the end.

Well, I decided to start studying from chapter one again and found out that I had forgotten some of the kanji characters. In order for me to stay focused on trying to remember the kanji, I have decided not to try to rush through it so quickly.

I also signed up with Memrise and Kanji Koohii!  to help with my learning. Both sites offer free online flashcards which keeps me from having to use my handmade ones.

If you are interested in seeing if this book is right for you, you can checkout the pdf file. It has 294 kanji and gives you a format of how this book is written.

Upward Spiral Tea Infuser w/ CLIP SPOON Review



I was surprised at how big this tea infuser was, but I really love it. I place the tea infuser inside my mug, then use the scoop to pour in a scoop of tea leaves, then pour in hot water and then place the lid on top and let the tea steep for about five minutes. I then take the tea infuser out, throw away the tea leaves, place the tea infuser in the dishwasher and enjoy a wonder hot cup of tea with no tea leaves floating since the holes on the infuser is extremely tiny. I also love how the spoon has a clip on it as I use it to clip my open bag of tea and I don't have to worry about loosing the spoon. This would make a great gift for a tea lover!

These cooking gloves by Perfect Life Ideas are made of thick silicone and are a deep color red with mini hearts all over it.

When the gloves get dirty, I just toss it in the dish washer with the rest of the dishes and the gloves are still in great shape. Overall, I really love these cooking gloves and it does exactly what they are supposed to do.

Brilliant Beauty Eyelash Curler Review



The eyelash curler by Brilliant Beauty came inside a black velvet bag and with two extra refill pads. Upon initial inspection of the eyelash curler it is light weight and it looks exactly like any other eyelash curler. I read through the instructions and followed it to the tee. The eyelash curler was comfortable, sturdy, fit my eye shape perfectly, easy to use and did not snag at my eyelashes. After curling my lashes with this eyelash curler it gave my normally straight lashes a slight curl. Overall I did not see any difference compared to my current eyelash curler and the price is reasonable.

Winoze Corkscrew Set Review



This premium wine opener gift set by Winoze comes in a beautiful black box with a rabbit style corkscrew opener, a foil cutter, an extra corkscrew and two silicone wine stoppers. The foil cutter is simple to use. The rabbit style corkscrew opener is easy to use and pulls the cork right out without straining the wrist and with little effort. It is nice that it comes with an extra corkscrew for replacement. I haven't used the wine stoppers that came with the kit as I like to reuse the cork that comes with the bottle. This gift set comes with everything you would need to open wine and would make a perfect gift for any wine lover, a house warming party or even as a wedding gift.

Premium Coconut Activated Charcoal Powder Review



I have been using the Premium Coconut Activated Charcoal Powder for over a week now and have been extremely satisfied with the product. The charcoal powder is extremely fine and not gritty and easily dissolves into my morning smoothie. I just add approximately half a scoop to my smoothie and blend it away. It does give the smoothie a darker color, but there is no taste to the product. It tastes just like my usual morning smoothie.

The bad is extremely large for the amount of powder that you receive. I would suggest to transfer it into a glass container so that it is easier to use. Since the charcoal powder is extremely fine, a little of the powder tends to poof out when you open the bag and can be a tad bit messy.

Restoration Lightweight & Comfortable Contoured Sleep Mask Review



I have a hard time sleeping when there is any sort of light around. Even though I close the door to my bedroom, I still wake up when someone turns on the light in the hallway or bathroom. Just that little slitter of light that comes through wakes me up so I was extremely excited to be able to try out the Restoration Lightweight & Comfortable Contoured Sleep Mask. The mask is lightweight and does keep the light out as long as you adjust it properly. If you do not adjust the mask properly, then there is a slight gap at the bottom of the mask where light can come in. I have been using it for a week and it does as it describes. It is lightweight that it does not bother me while I am sleeping and it keeps the light out which is what I want.

Evermarket Dotting Pen Review


I purchased the dotting pen set by Evermarket for under $2.00 on Amazon. The set of five dotting pens came in a clear plastic bag. Each dotting pen had a different size of dot on each end. The pens are sturdy and do the job.

I like to create my own nail designs so this set comes in handy as I can create polkadots or even a smiley face.

The only con about this item is that it took almost a month to receive the item.

Via Labs chia seeds Review



I have been incorporating chia seeds into my diet for approximately two years. I use it in baking in lieu of eggs, add it to my overnight oatmeal and I love adding it to my smoothies, salads or yogurt. I typically incorporate one or teaspoons a day into my diet. I love that the Via Labs chia seeds are organic and comes into a two pound bag for an extremely affordable price. When I am finished with my current bag, I will definitely be purchasing this through Amazon.

JP-1 Speed Jump Rope by Box Nation Review



The JP-1 Speed Jump Rope by Box Nation is extremely durable and light weight. The jump rope is made of a light weight metal cable and it was easy to move the hardware to adjust to my height. Upon using the jump rope it was easy to use and since it was so light weight I was able to do more jumps than I usually do. On the other hand, as I was getting tired, I wasn't jumping high enough and the rope hit my shin and it left a little welt and was extremely painful. I love that this set comes with an extra rope, hardware and a bag to put it all in so you don't loose anything. Overall I recommend this set for anyone who is looking for a quality jump rope.

The Ultrasonic Pest Repeller by Gold Brands Review



I have mice in the back yard that I cannot seem to get rid of no matter what I do so I decided to give this a try. The Ultrasonic Pest Repeller by Gold Brands was easy to use. All you had to do was plug it in and the light came on. It did not affect my dogs when they are playing in the back yard. I am not exactly sure how well it works, but I have not seen any mice lately.

The Viva Naturals Organic Jojoba Oil Review



The Viva Naturals Organic Jojoba Oil comes in a sturdy box that keeps the bottle and dropper protected during shipping. I like that this includes the dropper so that I can control how much product I want to use. I like that the jojoba oil is organic, cold-pressed and odor free. I use this product every night after I get out of the shower on my lightly damp hair and skin. I like to rub some jojoba oil to the ends of my hair and it keeps the tips from getting damaged and getting split ends. I also use approximately two to three drops of jojoba oil and rub it between my hands to warm it up and pat it into my face, neck and hands and it keeps the moisture locked in. The jojoba oil soaks into the skin without leaving an oily residue and leaves my skin hydrated and plump in the morning. I think that this product is beneficial to anyone's beauty routine and would make a good gift.

Fine Mesh Sieve Nut Milk Bag by The Smart Nut Company Review



I have been making my own almond milk for awhile now and have been using a cheese cloth up until now. The fact that this nut milk bag by The Smart Nut Company does not have a seam in it intrigued me. I like the fact that the nut milk bag is made out of food grade nylon which has no effects on your health. I put the nut milk bag in a bowl, poured the almond mixture on top of it, pull the drawstring and strain the mixture through the nut milk bag. Overall the nut milk bag does as it is supposed to, it keeps the almond mixture in the bag and the milk in the bowl. I just pour the milk into a container and use the almond mixture in my oatmeal and smoothies.

I have been reading up on the benefits of Tumeric and thought that this would be a great way to incorporate it into my diet. I take one capsule of this organic Turmeric by MAxiZest a day.

I add teaspoons pumps of this premium organic wild caught pure Alaskan salmon oil by Pure Paw Nutrition to my dog's dry dog food. I like to mix it until it looks as though it covered all of the dry dog food and then mix in some wet dog food and feed it to my dog. My dog is an extremely picky eater, but he really loves this and eats all of his food.

Shower Filter by QwenchPure Review



The shower filter by QwenchPure was easy to install. Upon the first I could immediately feel the difference in the water. The water was softer and I could feel that the soap residue was easier to remove. Without the filter I would feel a slight residue on my skin and would have to scrub harder to get rid of it. With the filter, my shower time is quicker. Also I noticed that my hair is not as frizzy as it usually is. I did not have to use any cream in my hair to tame it. After using a shower filter, I do not think that I will be able to go back to taking a shower without it.

Mosquito Repellent Bracelet Review




My backyard is mosquito heaven since my neighbor has a frog pond. We usually use an outdoor fogger before events. I used the mosquito repellent bracelet over the weekend when I was gardening in the back yard. I usually use a mosquito repellent spray, but decided to try this. The bracelet worked well. I wasn't bitten by any mosquitos while I was pullling weeds. Overall I really recommend this and will purchase some for my family.

The muscle roller stick by Tins Idson is lightweight, durable, portable and has rubberized handles that are easy to grip. I really love this muscle roller as it is easy to use and feels good after a great run. 

If you cannot rotate your rotator cuff then this roller stick might be a little too short to use on yourself on your back.
