Magnetic Screen Door

I have been looking for a product like this to use at our second home on the doorway that leads to the screen porch.  This magnetic screen door is the perfect solution.

It fits doors up to 36" wide and doesn't have any gaps where it is installed or where it connects together in the middle with magnets.  The mesh is a tight enough weave that it won't allow bugs into the house.

This will come in very handy since our 2 dogs love to come in and out of the screen porch freely. It also saves us the trouble and expense of having to buy and install a screen door in this location. 

The Magnetic Screen Door is a great solution for us and I can see also purchasing one for the door that leads to the garage.  It easily installs in about 10 minutes with included velcro and tacks. Other similar products I have seen don't have gapless install or magnets which allow bugs to fly in and out of your home. When you walk through the screen the magnets automatically close the mesh behind you which is fantastic for the dogs or if your hands are full.

Fox brim Advanced Formula Vitamin C Serum & Seaweed Complex Lotion

Foxbrim has been generous enough to send me samples of some of their products to test.  I recently tried their Advanced Formula Vitamin C Serum and their Seaweed Complex Lotion.  

The Advanced Formula Vitamin C Serum is a nice product that claims to help with anti-aging efforts and to boost collagen.  

Key Ingredients Include:

+ Vitamin C - Promote collagen formation while fighting against free radicals
+ Vitamin E - Essential antioxidant that helps protect and nourish skin
+ Amino Complex - Effective skin repair treatment to keep skin firm
+ Hyaluronic Acid - Unmatched natural moisturizer for plump and smooth skin

I found the serum easy to use and it made my skin feel smooth, hydrated and nourished.  

I used the serum in conjunction with Foxbrim's Seaweed Complex Lotion.  It is recommended that you use a moisturizer on top of serums with Hyaluronic Acid to seal in the moisture.  

The Seaweed Complex Lotion is also power packed with helpful ingredients to help keep your skin looking young and plump. 

Key Ingredients Include:

+ Phytochemicals - Effectively prevents premature aging of the skin. 
+ Polysaccharides - Essential building block for skin repair and renewal. 
+ Organic Spirulina (Blue Green Algae) - Reduce skin inflammation while boosting antioxidants and defending against free radicals. 
+ Hyaluronic Acid - Unmatched natural moisturizer for plump and smooth skin.

I like the fact that I can use these 2 products together and that I didn't experience any breakouts or dryness from using them.  I noticed some red spots on my face seemed to heal  faster than usual after using this regimen of serum and moisturizer for 2 weeks.  

Although I really enjoyed the scent I felt it was a bit too masculine for me and have passed the remainder of the bottle onto my husband so he can use it.  

I received both of these products free in exchange for my unbiased opinion.  I only recommend products I feel will benefit my readers.

Naturalico Vitamin C Serum

/>

I was sent a free sample of Vitamin C 20% Serum to test from Naturalico. 

Lately I have been sampling a lot of Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid serums to fight the signs of aging.  Winter in the Midwest is especially harsh on my skin and I am up to try just about anything to help.  Naturalico's Vitamin C Serum is a helpful resource as I felt it protected my skin; keeping it firm and hydrated.  

This Vitamin C Serum is made with natural ingredients like pure sea buckthorn oil, organic hyaluronic acid and organic rosehip oil.  This is one of the only Vitamin C serums that claims to use 72% organic ingredients which I imagine is much better for you than synthetic ingredients.

It is odorless and colorless and is a thin consistency.  The instructions say to shake well to avoid the ingredients separating and to apply a moisturizer after use.

As I mentioned I received this sample for free for my unbiased opinion. I only recommend products I feel will be helpful to my readers.  

Pure Body Naturals 100% Peppermint Oil

Pure Body Naturals sent me a huge 4 oz. bottle of pure and natural steam distilled peppermint oil to review.  I wasn't really sure how I 'd use it but once I read the product description I knew I'd find a use for it.

First off, as I mentioned the bottle is huge. I think I may pour some into a diffuser and keep some of it at work. The bottle also comes with a helpful glass dropper.

Some days at the office I get a headache. I think the fluorescent lights bother me and...it's work!  After reading the manufacturer's description that peppermint oil could help relieve headaches, I opened the bottle and breathed in the scent.  Soon after I felt a bit better.  Smelling the peppermint also provides a calming effect.

The scent is strong and lasts a long time.  Other times with worse headaches I have dabbed a tiny drop of peppermint oil on my temples and on the back of my neck and have felt better within a few minutes.  

I am very interested in using this high quality oil in other ways.  Pure Body Naturals lists a number of ways it can be used.  I think I may add it to my face steamer to help open up my sinuses and for aromatherapy.  

I received this product for free for my honest and unbiased review. Regardless I only recommend products I think will be beneficial for my readers.

InstaNatural Age-Defying Retinol Serum with Vitamin C, HA, and Plant Acids & Retinol Moisturizer with Vitamin C

I am always looking for serums or creams to make my skin brighter and keep wrinkles away.  I was able to try InstaNatural's Age Defying Retinol Serum with Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and Plant Acids.  I used it along with their Retinol Moisturizer with Vitamin C.

The results have been positive.  Sometimes when I use Retinol or Vitmain A my skin peels.  I find that using these products together my skin is well moisturized and I feel that my skin is looking brighter and feeling smoother.  Both  the moisturizer and serum claim they will help with hyperpigmentation and to smooth rough skin. 

The serum's key ingredients are 2.5% Retinol, 20% Vitamin C, 10% Hyaluronic Acid along with plant and fruit acids. It is not a sticky serum and has a pleasant citrus scent to it.  

The moisturizer contains 2.5% Retinol, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter and Green Tea; all of which I have read are good for your skin. As with other InstaNatural moisturizers, I love the consistency of this moisturizer.  It is a bit heavier than typical face lotions but not as heavy as a cream.  I find this very beneficial especially during the cold, dry winter months.  

I received these products free for my honest and unbiased opinion. I only recommend products I feel will be beneficial to my readers. 
  

InstaNatural Dead Sea Mud Mask

I have been very lucky to have tried many of InstaNatural's products.  The Dead Sea Mud Mask is consistent with the high quality and excellent results I've seen from InstaNatural's other products. 

I have used many mud masks in my time but I think this has quickly become my favorite.  The consistency is almost gel-like which is a huge improvement over the thick muddy clay-type masks i have used in the past. After you apply a thin layer it dries quickly and very much like other mud masks, you can see where it absorbs oil from your pores; for me this is in the T-zone.

The Dead Sea Mud Mask includes a nourishing blend of Organic Shea Butter, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Aloe Vera, Organic Calendula Oil, and Hickory Bark Extract that provides unsurpassed moisture to soothe dry and irritated skin.

I have been using once per week and feel like it is helping to clean my skin without over drying.  I also think it is easier and cleaner to use than traditional clay masks.  

Much like other products from InstaNatural the container is huge and generously sized.  I also feel like I use less product because it applies in such a thin layer.

Dr. Song Professional Teeth Whitening Kit 44% Carbamide Peroxide

Dr. Song sent me a sample of thier Professional Teeth Whitening Kit 44% Carbamide Peroxide for an unbiased review.  

Dr Song Medical is a medical cosmetic laboratory that originally manufactured products for professionals, doctors, and medical facilities. Dr Song Medical products are made in the USA and is FDA compliant and a provider of professional products.

I have used teeth whitening products in the past from white strips you can buy at the drugstore to similar whitening products in syringes from the dentist office with up to 22% carbamide peroxide.  I really liked using Dr. Song's whitening kit; as long as I followed the instructions because I saw faster results.  The instructions state to use the enclosed brush to paint the whitening gel onto your teeth to avoid getting it on your gums.  If you get it on your gums it will burn and you may encounter tooth sensitivity.  Thankfully I had also received a complimentary sample of Dr. Song's Remineralization Gel to help with tooth sensitivity that followed using their whitening gel. 

The first time I used the whitening gel I applied it directly from the syringe into the whitening trays and did experience some burning feelings on my gums and a bit of tooth sensitivity but felt that the Remineralization Gel was a huge help.  It is a blue gel that cooled the burning sensation of my gums and helped my teeth to not be sensitive any longer.  The second time I used the whitening gel I followed the directions to a T and had no issues with burning gums or tooth sensitivity.    

My teeth were whiter faster than normal and I like this because I can whiten my teeth fewer times. I will use this kit about once per month and feel that it will cut my whitening time in half.  I used to whiten with the gel from the dentist 2x per month.   

I should also note that the price is very competitive.  The kit with 8 syringes of 44% whitening gel, an LED light to speed whitening, brush and moldable tray costs $34.99 today on Amazon.com.  I usually pay about $75 for 5 syringes of 22% gel from my dentist office.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Dr. Song is very customer friendly.  The first sample of whitening gel leaked in transit. I simply sent them an email and the Dr. Song rep sent me a fresh kit immediately; they are great to work with.  I also love that once you place an order with Dr. Song they personally email you instructions on how to use their products.
