Firm up that core!

The ProBody Pilates Mini Exercise Ball is made especially for core strength and balance, as well as for toning and sculpting with Pilates or yoga. It is made from a soft material free from common harmful harmful phthalates. This ball is burst resistant and has a better than money back guarentee. If it pops not only will they refund your money, they will also send you a new one! Because it is an anti-burst ball it has a plug instead of a valve that utilizes a straw device for filling up with air. Filling up the ball actually proved to be quite difficult and I was not impressed as far as that went. I was unable to get the ball completely filled with air, although it did not seem to effect the ball's performance. Once I get the hang of filling the ball with air I think I will like this ball a whole lot more. I like it as it is, it just has a learning curve to it :)

OZ Naturals - The BEST Eye Cream

Let me start off by saying again - I work night shift. I ALWAYS have dark circles under my eyes. They are my raccoon eyes and they are just a part of me. Or so I thought. I had the privelege of trying OZ Naturals eye cream for dark circles and let me just say - I love it.





I can wear it under my makeup and it doesn't leave a greasy shine. It's not oily, not even a little bit. This eye cream contains astaxanthin, matrixyl synthe'6, Caffeine, coffee extract and carroot root extract. No long list of chemicals that don't work anyways. This eye cream make my dark circles lighten within the first application. Now, after multiple repeated uses, you can't even tell they are there :) I give OZ Naturals eye cream 5 starts and definitely recommend. Especially for those sleepless nights that make you look related to this critter ;)

Ready for a grease-less, non oily beard oil??

Argan oil, Jojoba oil and Almond oil are perfectly blended together in this scent free Bronson's Natural beard oil. I gave this oil to my brother to use on his scraggly mess. He reported softer and less crazy facial hair with a few uses. The only recommendation he had was to be careful with the dropper. A little goes a long way and you really do only need a couple of drops. So, be careful with the dropper as more can come out than you were expecting!

 This beard oil not only treats the hair - but the skin under it. It moisturize dry, itchy skin without weighing the hair down. So, say goodbye to beard dandruff!

 I also love that it's scent free. I don't know about you but some pretty knarly smells have come from my brothers haha. And sometimes they totally overdo it with the scents. This is just right.


No grease. No weighted down hair. No frizz. Just perfect.

ProBody Pilates Exercise Loop Bands


I received these ProBody Pilates Exercise Loop Bands the other day and I absolutely love them. However, I think I'm going to have to steal them back from Kiera if I ever want to see them again! Should the bands break within the first 90 days, not only will they issue a  refund they will also provide a new set of bands! That's better than most guarantees out there!. The bands are all labeled as to their difficulty level and come in a variety of colors as well. My only complaint about these bands is that they sometimes roll up on you. This could also just be a user error! Overall, I really do like these bands and I'm excited to keep using them if I can ever get them back!




With the varying degrees of resistance you can customize your workout. Want to add a little extra oomph to your xtra- heavy band? No problem - just throw a light one on top of it!

The versatility of these bands as well as the many different ways you can exercise with them impresses me and I will recommend them to anyone who asks, but especially those who are looking for ways to build muscle strength

Silk and Satin Eye Mask


Let me start off with this: Night shift is brutal when it comes to being able to get on a regular sleeping schedule. Add in lots of sunlight when you're trying to sleep, noise, etc - it's hard to get a good nights...errr...days rest. I had the joy of being able to use this soft, comfortable sleep mask sold by CozyAbode. 





One of the best things about this mask is because of the materials it doesn't leave marks on your face. So you can get up and go without worrying about crazy lines on your skin. There is also an adjustable, velcro strap. The only con when it comes to this mask is that if you toss and turn in your sleep a lot like I do, it's likely to get misplaced. The facemask is still worth it to me because I don't need it to stay asleep - but it makes getting to sleep so much easier.

Rugged Knife

I got this absolutely stunning knife/multi tool in the mail yesterday, and I just couldn't wait to review it! The color is vibrant and the parts move smoothly. I know my brothers are going to fight over who gets to keep it! I was impressed with everything about this knife. From the versatility of the knife to the box it came in!


I think my favorite feature about this multi-tool is how compact it is. I can easily attach it to my keychain or stick it in my wallet or purse. Great for on the go.

All of the attachments are sturdy and seem like they would hold up to the tasks they are meant to complete. In the past I have had multi-tools break due to the amount of force behind using them. The Rugged Knife multi-tool seems like it would hold up to the task :)

The only con with this multi-tool that I have so far found is the scissors. While they will cut string and paper or something of similar thickness, it does not work well through cloth. Because of this I would not put this in the category of knives I would take camping.

 I would definitely recommend The Rugged Knife Company to anyone looking for an on the go multi-feature knife.
