NeoCell Review + Giveaway!

Neocell sent me two products to check out! They were their newest producs : Beauty Bursts, which are gourmet chews with beauty nutrition, and the Keratin Hair Volumizer.

The Beauty Bursts that I got were Mint Chocolate...Not exactly my favorite flavor, but they totally weren't bad.

My hair is extremely thick, but I am trying to grow it out, so hopefully the Keratin Hair Volumzier will work for that! 

I have a coupon code for you, just incase you aren't the winner, or don't want to wait!

REVIEW: Bikeloot

This was the first company I got in contact with, when I decided to relaunch the blog, so I am pretty excited to finally do this review!

I am SO not an athlete or biker-but I am trying to get in shape, so I figured I would give this BikeLoot box a go!

This is a pretty awesome subscription box at only $9-$11 a month. I even have a coupon code for you-so check out the bottom of this post!

 

This box comes with an AMAZINGLY detailed information card..swoon! Especially since I am so not into the cycling-lingo.  The first thing I got was from Nibnaks.  These snacks are made from all-natural dried fruit, nuts, and seeds, YUMMO!

  

The next thing is Sportea. How awesome of an idea! It is used as an alternative to workout drinks-which typically contain tons of sugar.  There is also the energems...which appear to be like M&M but an energy booster...interesting concept. Will have to try and report back. They also sent me this awesome bag!

The last few products were a shine product for your bicycle, I dont, so I can pass this along to someone who does! I love the little bottle though, perfect for keeping in your backpack for on the go!I also recieved some Kool N Fit Pain Relieving Spray.  I have been having issues with my knee, and will totally be trying this out!

We also recieved a $10 giftcard to iTrain, I can't wait to use this!


I have a coupon code for you guys as always! Use LOOTME3 for $3 off your box! What a total steal! :)

Review: Easy Canvas Prints

 This was by far one of my favorite reviews I have gotten to do so far!  I LOVE nesting and decorating, and jumped at the chance to review a beautiful canvas from easycanvasprints.com! 


We recieved a complimentary 8 x 10 canvas, and I am in LOVE.  I love our wedding pictures, and knew I wanted to use one of these.  I was so impressed with everything about this!



The customer service was amazing! They are so quick to answer!  I was surprised by the giant box that it came in, but it was so well wrapped and protected! This is something that will be displayed in our house for years to come! Check it out for yourselves! These would also make amazing gifts :)

REVIEW: Mia Tempo Box + Giveaway Day 2!

 I am SOOOO excited to bring you guys this review. I have been waiting awhile to share this with y'all!

I think it would be best to explain a little about Mia Tempo, as it is not your average subscription service.

"Mia Tempo was started with the hope that we could in some small way make a positive difference in the lives of women everywhere.  Our goal is to help women everywhere take a much needed break by letting them experience a little ‘Me-Time’ every month so they can look and feel their best.  This mission is coupled with a passion for all-natural & organic skin care products and at-home spa & beauty treatments and voila!" – Mia Tempo

 

You guys know how I feel about information cards.. I LOVE them! This came in a nice envelope, almost like a card. It had not only just info about what you got, but also a little relaxing routine you could do with what you got! It also shares about how a portion of the proceeds from every box is donated to a non-profit that helps women! Isn't that amazing?!

 

I recieved two Tea Forte tea bags, as well as a bonus satchet of Apricot Amaretto tea. I am on a HUGE tea kick, so I was super happy to see these! Plus they are ADORABLE.

  

The next few things I got are from Soothing Botanicals.  They are all in the same scent.  It includes the Amber + Fig scented Dead Sea Bath Soak, Cream Body Scrub, and Deep Moisture Lotion.  This smell isn't horrible, but also isn't my favorite.  I think I need to try them all out before I make my final decision!

 

 You can probably tell from my blog that I LOVE candles. This one is no exception.  It is from a brand called Paddywax, and looks to be part of a Library collection.  I got the scent "Jane Austen." It is a very floral scent, I pick up a lot of Gardenia, but it smells amazing and clean!

 

The next two things I got were from Wild Carrot Herbals.  I recieved a Wild Rose eye cream, which looks super enticing.  As you can see, there is a package of powder.  It is actually a face mask that you mix "rose honey" & water with.  I don't know how I feel about something that you have to mix something else with, but I'm excited to see how it works. It's a cool idea!

I got a special little gift, which was a facial moisturizer from Green Visions.  Its "Wine and Berries" scented. I love the idea of this, my only worry is the little seeds inside it. I hope those don't transfer to my face! I can't wait to try it out though!

SOOOO many goodies, and the presentation is phenominal! I give this box a total 5/5!

This is 39.95 for one month (Free Shipping.) You get a discount when you buy multiple months.  I do say this is totally worth it, this isn't something full of just sample sizes, you get BIG full size products.

BUT, the exciting news is that I get to host a giveaway for ONE free Mia Tempo box for y'all!

Day as the Terry's : Day Date

Nick and I actually had a Saturday off together, this never happens (I work retail), so we decided to take full advantage of it!  We went to St. Augustine, and spent the day!

By the time we got there, we were both STARVING, so we ate at Al's Pizza. We've eaten there a time or two, but it was SO GOOD!

We got meatballs as an appatizer, but ate these way too quickly to take a picture, sorry. haha :)


For our meals-they have a great lunch deal, they were only $4.99! Nick got manicotti, and I got lasagna. YUM!

We walked around St. George St, and found some really cute magnets for the car!  I am so happy that the weather was nice! We had a wonderful day :)

Day as the Terrys:New Year's Resolutions

2013 was such a crazy year, full of highs and lows.  I moved states, had 3 different jobs, got hitched, lost two grandfathers, started blogging again, and completed a lot of College.
I haven't made any New Years Resolutions the past few years, because I never stick to them.  I heard that if you tell people what you want to do, you are more likely to do it. So here it goes
My Resolutions:
Get healthier-not even just lose weight, but cook healthier for my family, and make us all be more active.
Be a Better Person-I think this should be at the top of everyone's list.  I found this great graphic

-Love God more.  There are some lyrics that I love-"Set a fire down in my soul, that I can't contain, that I can't control. I want more of you God."
-Be a Better Wife-I've come to realize that I can't control how my husband acts or feels, all I can control is my own actions.  I have to be the best wife I can be :)
-Keep blogging.  This has not been my first attempt at successful blogging, but this has definitely been my best try yet. Thanks to you!
-Be content.  I don't mean with material things. But I need to be be okay with the house being a little dirty, and be okay with not being the perfect wife-homemaker on top of everything else. 


This year will be hard to beat...I am excited to see 2014 try.
What are your 2014 resolutions?

REVIEW: Phone Case of the Month + GIVEAWAY

So this is a little something different for me to review.  I am really trying to expand my content for you guys!

One of my favorite things about this, is that it came SO FAST! I was really impressed, and that is extremely appriciated.  I hate online shopping, because I want the product RIGHT THEN.

I do have a coupon code for you guys, so stay tuned until the end!



The website is really easy to navigate, which is also really important to me.  Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to find the "contact" button. Especially if you are having an issue.

How it works:  for $10/Month, you get a completely limited edition phone case, specific to the Phone Case of the Month company (Only 200 are made!)  Each package also comes with another additional suprise like a tattoo, sticker, etc (Mine came with a button! So cute, and unexpected!) Also-thye just added samsung galaxy cases as well! They offer cases for:
iPhone 4/4s
iPhone 5/5s
Samsung Galaxy S3/S4

Here is was the site has to say about their cases.."We ship cases made of Poly Carbonate and ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) with a silicone coating for a soft to the touch feel. Sounds fancy huh? Printing is done using water transfer printing technology for a seamless edge to edge print. The cases are low profile and do not have a lip on the top edge of the phone. Bottom line is that we produce phone cases that feel good. We use our own product each and everyday and know what does and doesn't get in the way of using your phone."

And they weren't lying! I was really impressed with the quality of the case!   I was a little confused about what the case I got was called, but that's not a huge deal. I believe it was called Love Birds.

...and what you have all been waiting for-coupon code: falling4you for $5 off your first month! At only $10/month, thats half off!

REVIEW: Murad's Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum

Whew! Isn't that a mouthful?


Picture courtesy of murad.com


This product is called "the environmental shield."  It has 2% of Hydoquinone, which is the maximum level without a prescription.  It also has a lightening peptide, Hexapeptide-2, which helps correct existing damage, and help prevent future damage.

I have seen other reviews on this product, and most had better results.  I blame it on my sensitive skin.

I was SOOO excited whenever I first got this product.  

I was DYING to try it, & even out my skin tone!

I was quickly disappointed.
I used the product for 4 days (it was recommended for 7-10) My skin could only make it through 4.  It worked fine the first 2 days.  I noticed some irritation on the 3rd night, but holy batman the 4th night sealed the deal.  I did my normal night routine (Lush products), and applied this product before my moisturizer.  As soon as the product hit my skin, instant burning.  I used Lush's 9 to 5 cleansing lotion to remove it, and soothe my skin.  My skin is now HORRIBLY broken out.  I haven't used the products in 4 days, and my skin is just now starting to clear up.  My skin is pretty sensitive, but acne and breakouts are not a usual issue for me.   I think the issue is that my skin can't handle the chemicals.  That's why I stick with Lush's skin care products.  I have found what works for my skin, and apparently can't steer away from that.  I will be passing this onto someone who has these issues, but not sensitive skin, and will update soon!


This product costs $60.00, and is available on Murad.com, sephora, ulta, and leading salon and spa locations.
