I received Arnicare Gel to review for you as part of my Health and Wellness segment. I was really surprised at how well this gel worked. The only things I did not like about this product is that it was very cold when it was first put on, and it seemed to linger and become sticky on my skin. Which was something that made me not like the product as much. Although my husband loved it! I used it on his shoulder and he said that it felt funny at first but it actually helped the pain in his shoulder go away! Everyday after the first time I used it on him he kept begging me to let him use it again. For me it did help with my pain, but like I said earlier I did not like the way it felt. I ended up wiping it off after I felt it working. This product is really good to use if you are having pain in your muscles or joints. We used it with massage to help the pain go away for good, but it can also be used just as a temporary pain reliever. So if your looking for a good pain relieving gel, look no further.

Over the next week or so I will be having a Health and Wellness segment. In this segment I will be reviewing different products related to Health and Wellness.

Todays really cool Health and Wellness product is called Celsius. Celsius is a calorie burner drink designed to help you while you excercise to burn calories. When used with exercise Celsius can reduce body fat, improve endurance, provide healthy energy, is vitamin enriched, and is clinically proven. Unlike other sodas and energy drinks Celsius has only 10 calories, no sugar, and is low in sodium. They say Celsius works best when you drink it 20 minutes before your work out. Not only can it burn calories, but it can help you burn fat and build muscle.

I like the carbonated drinks, but I was not a big fan of the non-carbonated versions. But as I don’t like any non-carbonated soda like drinks, this did not surprise me. I’m sure if you like non-carbonated drinks that you will like them. My favorite of all the Celsius products is the Awesome Orange Powdered version of Celsius.

You can find Celsius on there website here.

Did my last post about sunglasses get you thinking about suncare for yourself and for your kids? I know it got me to thinking. Not only is it dangerous not to protect your eyes from the sun, but it is also dangerous to not protect your skin, and your face.

I was able to get some sunscreen from Ecological Skin Care to review for you.

The sunscreen is very thick. It goes on very white, but after rubbing in it goes clear. It definitely makes you believe that your skin is covered. Their sunscreen is hypoallergenic, reef-safe, biodegradable, and offers 30 SPF. I personally did not like their face sunscreen, but I dont like to put any sunscreen on my face unless it is already included in my foundation or moisterizer. The sunscreen does seem to last a very long time, and will definitely be my best friend this summer as I hopefully go play in the sun!

I received some really adorable sunglasses from Real Kids Shades as part of a review. Now I don’t know if you knew about this or not, but kids under 10 years old are more likely to get sun damage to the eyes then at any other age. Any damage that occurs is irreversable, which is pretty scary! Some of the eye disorders that kids can get from unprotected eyes include cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, pterygia, skin cancer around the eyes, and photokeratitis. So please, before you take your babies outside please cover their eyes!

I really have fallen in love with my babies new sunglasses. I got two for my little one that have staps connected to them so that they don’t fall off, and so that their not uncomforatable for your baby around their ears. One of the ones I received also had a foam casing on the side that touches the face to not only keep vertical sun rays from getting in, but to make them more comforable as well. The sunglasses I received for my oldest child are flexible, yes I said flexable sunglasses. I can’t tell you how many times I have spent a lot of money on what I thought were good sunglasses only to have her pull the ends so hard that they end up snapping off. These sunglasses not only bend at the end but bend on every part of the sunglasses so that they are not likely to ever break. Their lenses are also shatter proof and also offer 100% UV-A/ UV-B protection. If your glasses to break don’t worry too much because they have a warrenty!

Real Kids Shades also work with Preventing Blindness America to educate the public on the importance of protecting childrens eyes. Which I think is really awesome!

So if you read my review on the UGLEE Pen you know that I don’t currently have my own working computer, and that I am being forced to go back to the basics of using a pen and paper for the majority of my blog information. It is getting very old very fast. Well I found a really cool product at Journals Unlimited to help me keep all my information in one spot and keep it orgnaized for when I am ready, and can find a computer to write my blog entry. I got the Journal called Me & My Big Ideas, which is great because it asks questions that help me organize my post and it makes me set a goal as to when I want my post to be completed.

The quality of the journal really surprised me as it was very well put together. The paper is acid-free and recycled and the ink used is soy-based. So its not only cute, but eco-friendly as well. The paper is also very nice, not what you would expect from it being recycled. With most notebooks I am always worried about the pages tearing and falling out. I’m not worried about this happening with my new journal. Another thing that I am generally worried about when it comes to notebooks is that the cover is always so flimsy. It either rips off while I am still using it, or starts to look very warn out with use. This journals cover is very thick and sturdy, so not only am i not worried about it falling apart, but i was able to use it as my surface for writing as well. With normal notebooks I have to find another surface to put underneath it for support or go sit at a desk, or table.

Journals Unlimited has lots of different notebooks, and journals to choose from available in 3 different sizes. Not only that but they offer 60 different titles in the “Write It Down” series that my journal came from. They also have other collections like the “Color” colection and many more. They also have the option to customize your notebook how you want it. So that you can have you name printed on it, or even your business information.

I love my new journal from Journals Unlimited, and I’m sure you will find one you love as well.

Happy Journaling!

I’m sure you have already noticed, but in case you didn’t already know. I love color! One thing I am known for is having colors in my hair. But I can never get it to be the bright color that I am looking for. Even if I pay hundreds of dollars at a salon it never turns out quite right. Not only does my hair not accept color the way I want it, but it also hates bleach. I have not been able to afford to go get my hair done at a salon, so my hair has been paying the price and has been an awful yellowy-orange color that you get when the color washes out. So I was very excited when I found out that I was going to be reviewing Splat Hair Color. I received the Pink Fetish Hair Kit in the mail and immediately got to work on fixing my hair. The kit includes bleach, the pink hair color, and gloves. I was able to do the majority of the work by myself. I put the bleach in by myself and was surprised at how easily my hair had lightened. It normally takes hours even at a salon! Luckily for me I had my sister-in-law to help me with the pink dye so that I didn’t get it all over the house. And I’m glad that she was able to help me because we could tell right away that it was very bright. Which was perfect for my hair, but not for the walls. I left the pink in for an extra 30 minutes over what the instructions suggested so that it would be extra bright and last an extra long time. So after an hour we went to try to rinse it out. I know from experience with bright colors to rinse your hair with cold water to help the color stick. Luckily I had a helper to help me rinse out my hair otherwise it would have been stuck to everything, because rinsing it out made the dye splash everywhere! And even with her help my hands became pink. Even with pink hands I was very happy. I could tell immediately that my hair was a very bright pink. After drying I could confirm that my hair was a brighter shade of pink then any stylist had ever gotten it! I was very surprised not only that my hair looked awesome, but that I was able to do it at home, by myself (with help (: ), and for a fraction of the cost. I will definitely be using splat for all my hair coloring needs from now on! Hopefully I will be able to review some of Splat’s other hair care products for you soon!

You can find Splat on their website here.

Happy coloring!

Don’t you hate it when your on the go and you don’t have all the necessities on hand? I know I do, and I have an Eco-friendly solution for you. La Fresh’s Eco-Beauty line. Some of the things in this line include Waterproof Makeup Remover, Oil-Free Face Cleanser, Instant Body Soother, Healthy Hand Sanitizer, and Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover. These products are free of parabens, sulfates, GMOs, triclosan, phthalates, PEGs, acetone, dyes, artificial fragrances & animal byproducts. So not only are their wipes convenient, but they are Eco-Friendly too.

I loved the way all of them smelled. Even the nail polish remover didn’t smell bad. And they all work really well. The only one I was not very impressed with was the Waterproof Makeup Remover. When I used it, it left a weird residue on my face. But it did work. These would be great to keep in your purse or even wallet for emergencies, or in a suitcase for short trips.

My favorite was definitely the Nail Polish Remover as it did what it was supposed to, while smelling great! which is something that is very hard to find.

Stay tuned for my review of their massage oil during my Health and Wellness segment!
