 Live Infinitely has come out with some really great, high quality products that have become some of my favorite everyday items. I have one of their muscle stick rollers and a cooling towel, and they are just amazing! I had very high expectations for their Infuser Water Bottle, and I was not disappointed!

  Since my favorite color is purple, I got the water bottle in the Orchid Purple color. I absolutely love the rich, perfect shade of purple! It's a very nice 32 oz so you can make a drink to last for hours. I hate bottles that are too small, and this king sized one perfectly covers my needs! It's made of top quality Eastman Copolyester Tritan that is FDA approved, BPA free , eco-friendly and leak proof. It's completely dishwasher safe, so you can just take it apart and throw it in there with everything else without worrying about it.
  The lid had a handy thumb lock on it, releasing a flip top lid that covers the nozzle that you drink out of. It's completely leak proof, so you can easily just throw it in a gym bag without worrying about it leaking on everything.  The infuser part is the first full sized one on the market. It goes all the way to the bottom to make sure ever last drop gets saturated with flavor. I never understood why nobody else came out with this before! There's a very nice no slip grip on the side that won't slip out of even the sweatiest hand. A handy clip is also on the side of the lid so you can clip it to a bag or on your bike if you need. This cup fits perfectly in my car's cupholder, which is a huge bonus to me! 
  To use, you simply fill the infuser with fruit or whatever else you may desire, drop it in the bottle, fill with water, shake and let sit for about 10 minutes. This bottle infuses my water with flavor way better than any other one that I've tried! And if you just want plain water or any other beverage, simply remove the infuser and you still have a nice 32 oz water bottle. It's so easy to clean since it doesn't have any weird crannies that get stinky over time. Every single piece comes apart for easy cleaning! I absolutely love this infuser bottle and how durable and versatile it is! Live Infinitely has done it yet again!

Review- Dr. Whitening Natural Teeth Whitening Kit

2/23/2016

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

  I'm a regular coffee drinker and I also used to smoke for about 8 years, so my teeth are stained from all the years of those activities. I haven't tried too many whitening solutions because I'm not too thrilled about wearing my enamel down with chemicals. The Dr. Whitening Natural Teeth Whitening Kit is a perfect all natural solution that I decided to try.
Picture
Picture
  The all natural whitening kit includes two special pad brushes and two packs of 5 refill pads. They don't list the actual ingredients, but say that they're all natural and organic with no chemicals. They are very simple to use. First, you wet the tip of the scrub sponge and then scrub your teeth with it instead of a toothbrush in an up and down motion. It easily removes plaque and stains with minimal effort. For stubborn spots, scrub them a little extra. You must gargle after using them! I suggest not to swallow at all while using them, just to be safe. Do not wipe your gums with it, just keep it on the teeth.
  When done with the scrub, remove the sponge and dispose of it. To refill, simply open the scrub brush, Insert a refill and fold the sponge and then close the brush. To maintain your teeth, clean every 15 days or more.

Using the teeth whitening sponge was very quick and easy. I simply wet it and scrubbed my teeth for about 5 minutes, making sure to get all the grooves and edges. It didn't have an overpowering taste, just a light taste but it wasn't unpleasant or bothersome at all. After I thought I was satisfies, I made sure to do a few rounds of gargling with plain water. Immediately, by running my tongue over my teeth, they felt a lot cleaner. I waited about 5 minutes and then took the results picture. As you can see, my teeth actually looked a lot whiter and cleaner than they did before!! That's just after one use! I'm actually incredibly impressed with this whitening system and i'm going to make it one of my regular grooming!

Review - Original Bamboo Memory Foam Pillow

2/22/2016

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

 Ok, I LOVE pillows! I can't sleep without at least 6 of my favorite pillows tucked in all the right places. I even have select pillows that my husband knows he better not try to snag or I'll make him give them up. Even though I have all these pillows, I would still never have the correct support for my head and would wake up with cricks in my necks. It's be so irritating to have my whole entire body at the peak of ultimate comfort, yet my head would be moving around trying to get comfortable. This wonderful pillow has solved all my neck problems and I've been getting the best sleep I have in years with it!
Picture
Picture
 The memory foam pillow surprised me whenever I opened the box. The pillow was rolled up into a very small bundle. I opened it up and it rolled out into a flat bundle. OK, I was kinda skeptical- did I get a dank pillow? Well I fluffed it a little bit and let it sit and absorb air and within 10-15 minutes, it was a perfectly formed, huge fluffy pillow! It was actually really neat how it transformed like that! The pillow is made of shredded memory foam and is THE most comfortable pillow I've ever used! It cradles my head and neck perfectly and doesn't have any of those annoying lumps other pillows get. I really have been getting way better nights of sleep since I started using it last week! This pillow is amazing, and I won't even let my husband look sideways at it! It's mine! LOL

Review - Marathon Pain Relief Cream

2/19/2016

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!


 Aches and pain are part of everyday life. There's several different ways you can try to cure them, from hot compresses, tylenol or a plethora of different creams out there. I've tried several different types of creams in the past, and I was pleasantly surprised with the Marathon pain relief cream. 
Picture
  The Marathon Pain Relief Cream comes in a nice sized 3 oz tube and is a topical analgesic. It's fast, natural and non-narcotic. They only use the highest quality ingredients from right here in the USA.  They use freshly harvested arnica montana, willow bark extract, whole leaf aloe-vera, capsaicin, witch hazel plus other healing botanicals and extracts delivered with the penetrating power of emu oil. Unlike pills that must pass through the bloodstream and vital organs first. the topical cream is applies directly to the afflicted spot for instant relief from arthritis, simple backache, muscle strains, sprains, bruises and cramps
   The topical cream is a pleasing cool blue color and rubs on in just seconds. It didn't leave my skin feeling all greasy- it absorbed quickly and I was able to get dressed immediately after. I've used some creams that were so overpowering in scent that I had to go wash it off immediately because I couldn't stand it. While there is a slight minty smell, it wasn't too strong and went away after a little while. I instantly felt the cooling power of this cream and it stuck with me for about two hours. My back felt incredibly better! I absolutely love this cream and I'll be using it quite frequently from now on!

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!


 I do a lot of typing every day- heck, I spend most of the day on my computer. I'm used to holding my keyboard in my lap, which is more comfortable, but bad for my posture. I was delighted to try out this Cushioncare Keyboard wrist rest and bonus mousepad!
Picture
Picture
Picture
  The keyboard wrist rest pad and mousepad are both made of premium lightweight memory foam. It's in a nice neutral black color with cute little sheep in the corner of both. The mousepad has a nice wrist rest on it as well. Both are super comfortable and molded to my wrists comfortably! With non-skid backing, they stay in place even throughout the most rigorous of movements. I was forced to actually sit at my desk right to use these, and they helped improve my posture by 1000x! They are so comfortable, I can easily type for hours without feeling any discomfort. I absolutely love this set!

Review- Live Infinitely Cooling Towel

2/17/2016

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

 Where I live, in Central Texas, it can get hotter than a skillet on most days. This winter, our average temperature averaged in the 50's and today it's actually pushing 90! In the peak of summer, we usually average about 106 on a nice day. I like to do a lot of activities outside, but sometimes it's too darn hot! The last time I had a garage sale, I ended up burning so bad I got blisters and was peeling for weeks afterwards. Staying cool is a necessity sometimes! I have a Live Infinitely Muscle Stick roller that was amazing and really high quality so I was thrilled to try out one of their cooling towels.
Picture
  The Live Infinitely cooling towels comes in a nice compact hard shell container that is perfect for throwing in a gym bag or purse. The towel itself is a beautiful, vibrant pink color and the texture is soft and kind of smooth feeling. There's a slight smell kind of like paint, but it didn't really bother me at all.     The towel measures 31.5" x 13" and is perfect for draping around your neck or over your head. I noticed that the towel was a little cool feeling directly out of the package. to use, I wet it and then snapped it a few times. It was pretty neat how it immediately cooled down and felt very refreshing! Even though I just wet it, it felt like it was already dry. The towel cools to about 30 degrees below it's average temperature and can stay that way for up to 4 hours. To recharge, you just get wet again and snap it some more. I love how it doesn't get your clothing all wet when you're using it too. I absolutely love this towel and will b using it quite a bit this coming summer when I'm working outside!

Review- Splett Compression Socks

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

 I'm currently 6 months pregnant, and lately my feet have been swelling a little bit. Splett Sports gave me a wonderful pair of compression socks to try out, and they really made a difference! The socks came in an attractive black and white striped design that will go with any of my outfits easily. They're in a one size fits all Medium size. I'm a women's size 7.5 and they were a little large on me, the heel was up on my ankle. They measure 13.5" long and went all the way up to my knees. The material is very breathable and durable and seems of great quality! 
 Putting them on took a minutes since they're tight, but that's how they're supposed to be. They were nice and snug and didn't slip or move around after hours of wearing them around the house. The socks were actually very comfortable and my feet didn't ache as much as they usually do. I love these socks and will be wearing them quite a bit now!

Review- Gurin Fiber Optic Otoscope

2/16/2016

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

​ Ear infections are pretty common in my household. However, we don't always like to for to the doctor for every slight irritation as the doctor usually won't do anything significant for us. Having our own otoscope will greatly help us with self-diagnosis of small problems and help us determine if we really do need to go to a doctor or not. ​
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
 The Gurin Otoscope comes in a nice little zippered leather case with a sleeve for the otoscope and a sleeve for the specula. Eight specula tips are included so you can easily switch them out between people. They're reusable, so you just need to disinfect them and store them back in the clear plastic tube they store in. The otoscope takes two 'C' batteries which are inserted in the base. The otoscope is made of chrome plated brass that is very durable and actually somewhat heavy. The handle is texturized and provides a nice, sturdy grip without slipping. The lens is 5X and made of specially coated glass to resist scratches. A swivel on the otoscope easily moves the lens on or off. The light is a 3.2V halogen that is very bright, though it also includes an all metal insufflator outlet to facilitate the use of an insufflation bulb if you choose.
   Me and the whole family tested this out on each other and checked all of our ears easily. With a little bit of angling, I was able to see very clearly into the insides of my husband's and son's ears. It's grossly fascinating what you may find in there! From hairs to little flakes of earwax, it was quite interesting! I could even see some scarring in my husband's ear from  a previous infection. I can't wait to try this out the next time one of us gets an infection to examine the inflammation and any other side effects.

Review- Azure Naturals Vitamin C Serum

2/16/2016

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!


 Even though I'm only 26, I still want to try to take care of my skin, especially my face. Though it's only noticeable to me, I can see some fine lines starting to crinkle around my eyes after very close examination. I still look very youthful, but do worry a little bit about aging. I've found Azure Naturals to have some very nice products with real results!

​ 
Picture
 While taking Vitamin C supplements is greatly beneficial to your health, applying it directly to your skin is 20 times more effective than taking orally. As you age, collagen tends to break down, producing wrinkles. Vitamin C works to repair the collagen, improving your skin's elasticity and repairing or preventing wrinkles. Vitamin C also helps to significantly reduce age spots and is a lot safer and cheaper than using chemical peels or lasers. 
The Vitamin C serum comes in a nice little 1 oz bottle that will very easily fit into any makeup bag for convenience. The pump top helps you get the perfect amount you may need without making a mess. I actually loved the smell, it almost smells like oranges and is light and fresh. I've tried some serums that had heavy, cloying smells before that I just couldn't stand. I love this smell though! The serum is a light orangey yellow color but spreads on clear and absorbs very fast. I noticed a little tightening but it seemed like a good thing, not the sticky tightening other products have given me. I've been using this for a few days now, and I've noticed my skin is softer, smoother, firmer and more youthful looking. While my fine lines around my eyes are only noticeable to me, they seem to have lightened up a bit. I love the smell, and I love the results so far! I'll definitely keep on using this serum!

 The SantaMedical Otoscope comes with a hard plastic carrying case with molded spots for the included pieces. It includes the otoscope, 3 different sized specula and a spare 2.5V halogen lamp. The otocope takes two "C" batteries to power it which you install through the base. Different specula tips attach by a pin swivel into a groove at the tip of the otoscope. The magnifying lens swivels to suit your current need. The lamp is very bright and fully illuminates inside of the orifice you may be examining. With a grooved handle, it was very easy to hold onto without slipping around.
   Me and the whole family tested this out on each other and checked all of our ears easily. The tips do not have disposible covers, so you need to clean them with an alcohol wipe between people to reduce spreading of bacteria. With a little bit of angling, I was able to see very clearly into the insides of my husband's and son's ears. It's grossly fascinating what you may find in there! From hairs to little flakes of earwax, it was quite interesting! I could even see some scarring in my husband's ear from  a previous infection.
