Review: Spider Repellent

This spider repellent seems to have such a strong aroma, which I like. I love essential oils! The smell is very inviting, and I can imagine it is the opposite for spiders. They don't like these scents. They tend to stay away from them. I noticed it on ants, when I spray with lavender or peppermint essential oils, they make a complete 180 and walk back to where they came from! I am confident that this spider repellent is doing the same. The smell of essential oils must be overwhelming for them. However, I don't like spiders. I tend to panic when I see one in my house. I don't want to kill them, either. I know they have an important role in this world. I just don't want them in my home. I feel comfortable leaving this sachet laying around the house, because I know it does not hurt us or them. Essential oils are something I use regularly around my house. I diffuse them, I add them to my cleaning products, and I use them for bath and body uses. Therefore, I will be purchasing some more of this spider repellent for my entire home. It really does smell very nice! And, I haven't seen any spiders since I started using it! I am definitely telling my family and friends about this!

Review: Silk Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative

I recently had the opportunity to taste this yogurt, which I received complimentary for providing my opinion. Upon the many different flavors this brand offers, I ended up trying the vanilla. I thought it would go great with any fruit or recipe that I were to use it in. Right away, I went straight for a banana and sliced and prepared it on my plate with this yogurt. It was a very good and healthy snack. The vanilla-flavored dairy-free yogurt tasted like regular dairy yogurt with real vanilla! Honeslty, I didn't know what to expect because the yogurt is plant-based rather than dairy-based. I expected it to be weird. Soy milk tastes fine, but still doesn't taste like dairy milk. Dairy milk has its own taste. So, back to the yogurt. It tastes yummy. I like it very much. It has a good consistancy and feel to it. I love that it is nongmo! I will buy this dairy-free yogurt often, because I know my family would enjoy a serving or two of this healthy goodness!

Review: Silk Nutchello

This is a wonderful and super healthy treat that can be enjoyed at any hour of the day. The flavor combination that I chose was Caramel Almond + Cashews. It tastes quite different than other drinks. It is nutty with a hint of caramel. It is delicate, yet crisp and vibrant. It is weird how I can taste each flavor at different times. That's pretty cool! I have enjoyed drinking it alone, with ice, or with my morning coffee. My coffee tastes as if it were naturally nutty! The one thing that I disliked was the aftertaste of the cashews. I sensed a slight bitterness that kicked in at the end and took a while to leave my mouth--but this was only when I drank Nutchello by itself. My husband said he liked the drink a lot. I, too, really enjoyed drinking this refreshing and tasty drink. There are many ways to use this in your recipes. Use it in your drinks, smoothies, and shakes. Also, use it to replace milk in your baking.

You can purchase this drink and other Silk Nutchello flavors at your local grocery store or online. The other two flavors you may find are Rich Dark Chocolate + Walnuts and/or Toasted Coconut + Cashews. Which is your fave?

Review: Ultra Lash Growth Serum

 

New York Biology has a great product in their hands! The Ultra Lash Growth Serum! I received this product not so long ago, and was excited to try it out and let you know all about it! Here is my review on the serum that gives you #lashesfordays!

This is a clear serum that comes in a little black bottle. Their is no scent or strong smell, and it dries fairly quickly. The applicator brush looks like an eyeliner brush. It is very simple to apply, and does not irritate the eye. Just don't get it in the eye. The first time I used it, there was too much on the brush, and it got in my eye. It burned for a little while. My advice here is to make sure you wipe any excess serum from the applicator before applying. Use it like you do eyeliner, running the applicator along the base of the upper eyelash and skin. Use daily, and within a few weeks you should start seeing a change.

The ingredients in this serum nourish and support the lashes so they can grow healthy and strong. Apple stem cells encourage hair growth. Botanical Complex Tricholastyl helps to prevent inflammation and fights free radicals, which both are factors for hair loss. Myrsitoyl Pentapeptide-17 has been clinically proven to increase eyelash thickness and length. Ultra Lash is USA made in FDA approved facilities, and do not contain alcohol, parabens, or sulfates.

I have been using this serum for 11 days now. It is too soon to see full results. However, l have noticed that my eyelashes look a bit darker and they feel conditioned. On one eye I see one or two eyelashes slightly peeking through. Another thing that I noticed was that my eyelashes haven't been falling out like they use to. I would lose about 4 to 5 lashes a day! Ever since using this serum, I have lost maybe 3 total. I am also using it on my eyebrows, but have not seen any new growth here. My eyebrows are just as patchy-looking as before. I will continue using the serum, because I do see hints of new growth, and my eyelashes are looking pretty. Hopefully, I will start to see something soon on my brows, too. I received this eyelash growth serum for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

If you want to purchase or learn more check it out at: Amazon. (UPDATE 10/13/17) Apparently, this serum is currently unavailable and it is not known when it will be back again. I apologize for that, but I searched on Amazon and found one that may help you, if you're searching for an eyelash growth serum. Try this one from Organys Beauty. It is currently the best seller with 4.5 out of 5 stars, and it has free shipping (should you not have prime).
