Simply Bracelet Review + Giveaway!

I was lucky enough to try out a bracelet by Simply Bracelet!  This one I tried is an Alex & Ani style, it is Gold with a Gold starfish charm.  If you know me, you know I am OBSESSED with this style of bracelet, and now have one in each metal tone! 

This bracelet is a little larger of a size, than the other ones(from other companies) that I own. I like that, because it is more of a bangle style. It is SO easy to slip on and off, but not too big where you worry about it falling off. SO comfy!

Simply Bracelet gives you a few different options. If you want to buy a specific bracelet, you can from the shop on her site.  Her prices are definitely reasonable. 

She also offers Bracelet of the Month, or Earrings of the Month.

GIVEAWAY! E-sentials Box

This was my first "time of the month box" that I have tried.  But I love the idea.  Periods aren't very fun, and neither is having to purchase the products you need for it.  E-Sentials sends you an assortment of razors, pads, deodorant, and tampons, to you door each month.  They have different levels of plan that determines what will be included in your box.  My favorite part is that you can customize what you receive, just in-case you only use one or the other.

There are 3 different options.  

For $16 a month, you recieve 20 Pads/Tampons, 3 disposable razors, and deodorant.  

For $13 a month, you recieve 20 Pads/Tampons & 3 disposable razors.  

For $10 a month, you recieve 20 Pads/Tampons.

You have several choices for tampons and deodorant, but not pads.  I am not super picky, but I do hope they add more brands to choose from in the future.

My final thoughts-is that this box isn't a great value, it is more about convience, which I am totally okay with. 

 The giveaway is for 1-first month free box!

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!

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 :)

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 :)

GIVEAWAY DAY 1! DeodoMom's Deodorant

Happy New Year from the Terry's!

January will be FULL of Giveaways! Here is a great one to start us off!

I have heard the horror stories of what the aluminum in your deodorant can do to your body.  (I work in the body care industry.) Alzheimer's runs in my family, so I am more than willing to take all precautions to reduce my risk.
I have tried SO many brands of All-natural deodorant, and always end up going back to my toxin-filled junk, because I don't want to stink.  I have also tried a few that have immensely irritated my skin.  Having a rash on your pits is no bueno. 

I was super hesitant to try this-as I actually received it JUST after having a horrible reaction.  I had HUGE doubts about something only made of water & magnesium hydroxide.
Once I got some on my hand, I tried it on my hand first. Has such a strange texture, almost like corn starch and water.  But I figured I would give it a shot anyway..and I LOVE IT!
I am extremely OCD about smelling good.. and even have unnecessarily bought the clinical strength deodorants. I do like to pat on a little bit on deodorant powder (I use coconut from Lush, sadly being retired.)  But that is mainly because I like the scent. 


The idea behind this, was something that was safe for pregnant women to use, but of course anyone can use it!

I do have to add, that I prefer the roll-on, mainly for sanitary reasons.

 

The giveaway will have 5 winners, each reciviving their choice of a Roll-on, Jar, or Tottle! Good Luck!

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: Prize Candle + Happy New Year!

I absolutely LOVE this type of thing!  I have used the Diamond Candles before, and actually just recieved a few of those! I will be comparing the two.

I recieved a Prize Candle in the Blue Cypress scent.  I liked the scent at first, but as I burned it, It got a little overwhelming.
It is a soy candle, so it burns longer and stronger-which I am not used to, so that is probably why.  You NEED to get a scent that you LOVE. With that being said, this will literally burn FOREVER.


I recieved a cute little $10 ring in mine, I am not a huge fashion ring wearer-but It would make a really cute gift!

I think these types of candles are such a good deal.  This is the same if not more than you would pay at yankee candle, and you get the excitement of the ring too.  I honestly do have to say that I prefer Diamond Candle-because they are bigger for the same price.

Happy New year from our family to yours! Hope it is a great year for you and yours!
Stay tuned as January is FULL of Giveaways!

REVIEW: Bandelettes

Bandelettes-The sexy way to prevent "Chub Rub."

I'd say pretty much every woman has thighs that touch-if you don't you are either 12, or you might need a sammich.  :)

I'd say the most important thing to ordering these is ordering the correct size. Their sizes range from A (21″ – 22″) to E (29″ – 30″). I should've ordered a size up!

These are actually quite comfy!  I don't know if I am brave enough to let them show-but I am a total dress girl..and I live in Florida. You can ONLY imagine what my thighs go through. UGH.

I have tried everything, nothing powder or cream seemed to work long term for me. 

Each pair is only $14.99 and they come in a variety of colors.  I choose black, because it goes with everything.

I HIGHLY suggest these for any dress girls like me, or even if you want to wear them under shorts!

REVIEW: Graze Box

Graze Box is a weekly or bi-weekly subscription that costs $6 per box, with free delivery. (I have a code for my readers where you can try it FREE) Right now, this service is very exclusive, and you have to have an invitation code to try-or be put on a waiting list.  Everytime someone new joins, they get 4 free codes to pass on, creating a chain!  I'm not sure how I feel about this approach, but hey, its not my servicew.





When you open the box, you get a cute welcome card, telling you about your box's contents.  I  love this, as it is a nice change to just straight info cards, and really ads a personal touch! I chose the Light Box, which is a healthy version. 

“Welcome to Graze! Here are a couple of things we’d like you to know: Graze is all about healthy snacking, so we think it’s best to keep your box close at hand. That way, you can beat those 3pm junk food cravings with a perfect portion of something that will taste good and do you good. As you snack, you can rate your favorite foods online. It only takes a few minutes and it’s the best way to make sure you get the boxes that are just right for you. Enjoy your first Graze Box.”

This is also a really customizable box.  There are over 90 snack choices, and you can go through and choose if you would like to try them or not, and after you've recieved your box, you can also say if you liked it or not.

This is what my box looked like-

Lightly Toasted Pistachios-"roasted pistachios with a touch of salt "- YUM! These were my favorite.  I LOVE pistachios, and they are SO expensive.

Tropical Daquiri-"pineapple, lime infused raisins and green mango"-No, just no.  I am not a dried fruit person. YUCK

The British Barbeque-"rosemary crostini, mini basil breadsticks, fiery seeds and smoked almonds"- I'll be perfectly honest, I gave this one away.  She liked it, just not for me

Rasberry and Coconut Muffin-"amaretti drops, raspberry infused cranberries, almond slices and coconut flakes"- Can I just get a whole box of these please?  This was my first thing to try, SO GOOD.  I had this for breakfast one more, and it was actually quite filling. Pretty Happy with it!

I would say at only $6 a box, this is a pretty stellar deal.  Even if I only ate two out of four choices,  That was still worth $3 a pop, when you think about how much snack sized foods costs.  I also don't have a microwave or fridge at work, so finding things I can take to eat at work are scarce.  I would just recommend putting the effort to go through and choose which ones you would like to try!

Coupon code time! NEWMRSSNACKS Use this for your first box free-Amazing news is you can also cancel at anytime!

Please let me know if you decide to check it out, and what you think!

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.
