Snuggles White Lavender & Sandalwood Exhilarations Fabric Softener

I LOOOOOOVE using fabric softener sheets!  But i would put so many in at a time, i was literally throwing money away.  Not to mention the sheets wreak havoc on your filter!

Because of this, my husband thought it was best to get the bar that you stick in your dryer since it would last a much longer time and I couldn't OD on them.  He was right, so that is what we have been using,

Since I signed up with the Snuggle Bear Den, they sent me the scent booster packs and I feel in love!  The scent is great and last really long!  Where we still use the bar, we have added those to our laundry routine.

Recently, Snuggles Bear Den sent me for free the White Lavender & Sandalwood Exhilarations Fabric Softener to try and share my experiences with.  I had never in my life used a liquid softener before.  I honestly didn't even know that it went in the washer vs the dryer (yes, you can laugh at me now).


Well, I spent a whole day using this and pretty much love it!  It was super easy to use and honestly, the clothes came out smelling SO good (I seriously love this smell) and SO soft!  Really much softer then when I used a pack of sheets and the bar!

I feel like it being liquid it actually lasts a pretty decent amount of time, making this pretty cost efficient.

Bella and Bear. "The Pluckers" Professional Tweezer Set

Eyebrows!  We all have them, we all want them to look perfect and we all search for the perfect tools to help us maintain them!

Well... I used to have the best tweezers EVER!  They were a pair of crafting tweezers that I stole from my Mom years ago... Even my Best Friend Dusten loved these things!  Then it happened... I dropped them.   They did work the same, but were still the best i had found...  Then it happened... AGAIN!  Dropped AGAIN!  This time they never ever ever worked the same... It was tragic!  I had no idea where to find them again.

RIP... :(



This is where my hunt had started.  I have bought several and could not find any that I  liked... I had a pair that my gmom gave me that were better than any I had bought, so i was using these old school Revlon ones... They are good, dont get me wrong, but not good for those super fine hairs or for shaping,


Then, thanks to Tomoson, I was given the chance to try Bella and Bear "The Pluckers" Professional Tweezer Set!

Right off the bat, i was impressed with the adorable case that it came in!  Super Cute!


It is a great set.  It comes with 3 different tweezers!

A pointed one for really small or ingrown hair, straight tipped for a larger removal, and the slanted tipped for shaping and grooming.












I really love the slanted one and now use it as my go to tweezer!


In addition to a great product... customer service was spot on!!!!

Earthen BrightEyes Under Eye Gel

I was always told that once you turn 30 every woman needs a good under eye cream.  Well... I have successfully ignored that for 7 years... then one day i looked in the mirror and realized that it looks like I never sleep with how dark my under eye circles have gotten!

I have tried several different products but never really noticed a difference and have a really hard time getting into a new routine at night... Once i brush my teeth, take my contacts out and take my make up off... i am done!  I have no idea why adding one little step is so hard for me!  haha

Things changed once i received the Earthen BrightEyes Under Eye Gel to try... When they sent it, they said the best time to put it on is after your shower... Duh!!!  That is perfect!  I can keep this on my make up vanity and add this to my  morning routine easy!!!

It has been 2 solid weeks now and i enjoy this eye gel.  It is made of all natural ingredients and smells like cucumber!

You really only need a dab and it goes a long way.  I can already tell that my circles are getting lighter and that I am needing less concealer.

I also love the fact that this says that you can also use this as an all over face gel and it will help tighten you skin all over.







I am happy to report that at the age of 37 I am finally following an healthy skin routine!  Bout time!!!

Foxbrim Complete Anti-Aging Moisturizer

Finding a good face moisturizer as been a longtime struggle for me.  I have very combination skin, where my cheeks get so completely dry and chapped while my forehead and chin are a freaking oil slick!

In the past, when I would use face lotion, my cheeks would suck the lotion right up and the rest of my skin would feel sticky, and with make up on top, it would just slide right off... So I would just end up using it on my cheeks only, reeping no benefits of overall anti-aging protection....

Thanks to Tomoson, I was given the opportunity to try Foxbrim Complete Anti Aging Moisturizer!



I have to honestly say, I am really satisfied with this lotion!  This is so light that it goes on smooth, makes my entire face feel like silk and like there is nothing on it!   My make up doesn't feel like it is coming off and I think that because my skin is getting healthier, it is staying on and looking better!

There is a slight glue-ish smell to it, but this product does have Retinol in it and the smell is gone in a matter of seconds.  I use this every morning and my my cheeks are no longer chapped and I feel as if my skin overall is less oily and seriously feels a bit tighter, if you will...





I am looking forward to trying more of this brand's product line.  Not only was I 100% satisfied with this product, but I had superb customer service when I had to contact the company regarding an issue with my bottle pumping.  They explained to me that they had to redesign the bottle due to a few other complaints to that nature and insisted they send me a new one.... I received it in days and the bottle was much better!  Being in the costumer service industry, there is nothing better than GREAT customer service to go with a GREAT product.... It really takes a good product even further!

Shandali Travel Towel and Sports Towel - MICROFIBER

I have 2 analogies to describe this towel.

1 - Like an Altoid - it is curiously strong (drying powers)
2 - Like a body Shammie (literally like what you use to dry a car... has a slight feel of it)

This thing is AMAZING!!!  You get it and see how small it is and think there is now way this thin towel can dry all of me... Well shame on me... This totally does!

First, it opens to a pretty decent size!  I got the medium (24X48) since I'm a big girl... and it is pretty perfect!

It literally takes seconds... i get out of the shower, pat dry all over with the towel and your done... no post drips or anything!  Just hang my towel by the hook, put on my robe and walk out ready to be dressed!

It also drys really fast!

Because the of the size, how easy it is to use and how fast it dries, this is beyond the perfect travel or gym towel... even a good yoga towel... it is a non slippery material.

I wish it came in 3 sizes so i could get just one size up.

It was also easy to wash and did not shrink or bleed.  I did not put in the dryer.




Here is the product info from Amazon and the link you can use to buy it,

Shandali Travel Towel

  • LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD WITH 83% LESS WEIGHT: Weighing less than 150grams-that's less than an average apple-the Shandali Ultrasport Travel Towel is 51% lighter than leading cotton alternatives. With so little to carry, you will be able to bring your towel anywhere and use it daily.
  • STAY ULTRA-DRY NO MATTER WHAT THE OCCASION: Our towels are 100% microfiber, which drys enormously faster than the leading alternatives. Microfiber drys 287% faster than cotton, and it will even dry quickly when you have it folded up or stored in your bag. You see-microfiber, a nylon alternative, was designed specifically to be highly absorbent and quick drying. Join the future of towels!
  • HANG IT UP WITH OUR EASY-TO-USE HOOK: One feature we're very proud of it our "easy-to-use" hook. Other towels either have a very small hook that isn't really that useful or are missing the hook altogether. We've developed our hook to be very practical and work in a variety of situations. Be confident that you'll never need to set your towel on the group to get dirty.
  • SOFT ON YOUR SKIN: Tired of itchy towels? Yup, we were too. That's why we decided to use a 100% microfiber towel with a high thread count, the result is a super soft, super-durable, and pleasantly enjoyable towel that you will love. Owning a towel that is enormously practical, comfortable, and in a fashionable color is important. We urge you to get your first towel today.
  • SAVE YOURSELF MONEY WITH A MULTI-PURPOSE PRODUCT: We want to help each customer save at least $50 this year by using our towels for a number of activities, removing the need to buy a towel for each activity. Our customers have used the Shandali Ultrasport towel to travel to Europe and Asia, to carry in their golf bag, to bring to the gym as a workout towel, to dry and hold up their hair after taking shower, to use at Pilates and Yoga classes to stay dry, to packing in their kayak and rafting bags-to even bringing them to the Burning Man festival in Nevada as their "go-to" towel. Whatever purpose you have use for, we're 110% confident that you'll love using your Shandali Ultrasport towel. We urge you to take action and try one today.

eLuxury 900 gram Egyptian Cotton 2 Piece Bath Towel, Latte

This was a great set of towels.  They came and I was instantly impressed with the color being just like advertised.  Once I opened it and unfolded it, I was extremely impressed with the size.

Being a larger person as well as having a Big and Tall husband, this was a very nice surprise.  In my opinion they are significantly larger in length and width.

Not only that, just much thicker in general.

They are super absorbent and they did not shrink or fade after washing!

I will be investing in more of these... It is hard to find a good size bath towel.

The pictures below compare them to a bath towel that I considered to be a thick large towel.  Please ignore the hair dye stains.  Please also do not compare the cat size to them... my cat is HUGE, like 30 pounds huge and it is not fat... he is just big boned like his Mamma!  ;)








Below is the information on this product from Amazon as well as the link of where you can buy it.

eLuxury 900 gram Egyptian Cotton Bath Towels


  • Two bath towels (30" x 55")
  • 2 PLY Solid Terry Cloth
  • Each towel is featured with a hanging hook for easy hanging
  • Vibrant Colors that don't fade from washing!
  • Machine Washable

Display Bags

When I first received this bag to test, I wasn't sure how I felt about it.  It doesn't stand out as your typical make up bag and it looked small.

The material inst what you think of when of when you think "make up bag", but it makes sense... It is thin, light weight, flexible (which allows for the weird shape items to fit) and I believe liquid resistant.  Looks easy to clean and wash as well.

I did overall find myself impressed with the concept once I tried it out for myself.  The size I got was perfect for my day to day make up.  If I was to travel and want to bring more of a selection, I would need to have a bigger bag.



I am also the type of person that would rather dump my make up bag in-front of me to see everything I had in there, than try to dig through and find something... That is where this concept is something that I really enjoy.

This is as easy as putting all your make-up in, folding the display sheet on top and pulling the tie closed.  When you want to use the make up, pull the sheet out, shake the bag and all the things in the bag are now on the display sheet.  Once done, there are 2 tabs on each side of the top of the sheet that you just pinch together and then dump all the make up back in the bag.

I wanted to demonstrate how easy this was to use and my husband was not around, so i did it one hand and i have to say I was able to still demonstrate with ease.



If this was in the price range of $5.99-$7.99, i would buy the larger size for sure.  I would also really like to have more of a color selection.

If you have kids, i think this would be an ideal bag to have for traveling with kids toys like legos... or anything else with small parts that you can keep on the sheet and dump back into a bag easily.

Here is where you can go to buy one of these bags.

Dot&Dot Large Packing Cubes (Available in 10 Colors)

I don't know what I did before Dot&Dot... these are a travelers dream as well as for anyone who likes to be organized!  You get to pick your color to make a matching set, or to match your luggage... or just be wild with it... All Dot&Dot products also come in a storage bag that you can keep them in when not in use and pack away easily, or use that for more storage.  It is a durable clear materials.  :)

I travel a lot and have found these are good for several reasons.  I can use them for myself when traveling for work and have one day in each bag.  It makes packing easy and clean.

Best is when I am with the hubs and we each can use 2 bags each.  You can easily fit 3-4 outfits in each bag.  It is a great way to compact your packing and find what is what and whose is whose easily.  Then at the end of the trip being able to easily keep your clean clothes from the dirty is a plus!

I also love that you can use these to store your seasonal clothes.  It makes it easy to store and you can see in the bag, so you know what is in each one.  So easy to just pick up and move as well.

In the below bag, just for size, I packed (and mind you, the hubs and I are not small people, both tall and a bit overweight, so these are not small articles of clothing)

3 shirts, 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of sweatpants, 1 pair of basketball shorts, 3 pairs of boxers and one thick wool duster sweater.  It all easily fit in there.  Imagine how much summer clothes can fit... Or Kids clothes!!








Here is where you can but them on Amazon

This will be my travel make up bag for sure!

For those that do not use that make up, this bag really can be used for ANYTHING!  Keep it in your car, pack kids toys, snacks, wipes, etc... anything you can think of!!

Dot&Dot 15" Packing Sleeves/Folders (Apparel)

Dot&Dot sent me this Dot&Dot 15" Packing Sleeves/Folders (Apparel) to try.  The opinions below are mine and are honest evaluations.

This packing folder at first I thought was just going to be good for paperwork and don't get me wrong, I think that this is great for that.  I have a lot of paperwork that i can store in here and keep it all in one safe place that it will not fall out of, like a folder...





This comes with a card on the inside that helps you fold shirts tight and to fit the folder perfectly.

each flap of the folder has velcro that is adjustable, so you can fit a good amount of shirts in here.  You get to choose your color too, so you can have a whole matching set of Dot&Dot.  These things are a travel must have!!
