Hair Symphony Professional Detangling Hair Brush and Soft Nylon Hair Brush for Wet and Dry Hair Review

Lots of hair stuff lately!  Good thing that I have lots and lots of hair!

I received these brushes to try in exchange for my honest opinions.  
First thing is they came in a bag that is great and can be used for many things.  You can keep the 2 brushes in here and still have room to put in other hair products, making it easy for travel.


This had 2 brushes in it.  

The Detangling Brush.  This brush has a shorter handle and the bristles are on the solid plastic.  My friend said this worked well on here hair, but she has shoulder length hair.... I found my hair is way too long and it is not comfortable in my hand to brush out my hair.  I love the hot pink of it though!




It also came with the Nylon Wet and Dry Brush... this brush I loved!  It fit in my hand well and it works great getting tangles out in my hair both wet and dry.  It is easy to hold, while also holding my hair to make sure I am not pulling it out or hurting my scalp.  This brush is red and black.  The bristles are longer and have the little knobby thing on the tips and they are in a cushion type pad.   My hair really prefers this type of brush and this one is the perfect size.

Hair Skin Nails Vitamins Review

Biotin has always been a great choice for supplement that supports healthy hairs, nails and skin!    I was given the chance to try Evergreen Nature Hair, Skin and Nails Biotin.  

These work well.  It is hard for me to tell how and if it is making my hair grow, as my hair is already pretty freaking long... But I can tell after taking it just for a few weeks that my nails grow pretty fast and are no longer flimsy and flaky, which in this bitter cold is great!  In my opinion, when they are painted they look like I have acrylic on them... and for someone that used to wear acrylics for 20 years straight, I am pretty impressed with how healthy this is making them.






The pills are large and do smell very vitamin-y... I cant describe it, but once you smell it you will know exactly what I am talking out! They are also tablets and not gelcaps or capsules, so I need a lot of water to take these and according to the directions, you take one 3 times a day,

Xtava PRO 2200W Classic HairDryer (Charcoal Gray) Review

More hair talk!

This is from the same people that did the five in one curling iron.  I am just as impressed.

I really like this hair dryer… I had actually stopped blow drying my hair once it got past my waist, since my cheap drug store dryer took forever and I swear would burn my hair… This was so nice to try! It literally dried my hair in what seemed to be super-fast… much faster than the old one. I also love the attachment that it comes with to use with a round brush to blow my hair out straight!




This dryer relatively light and actually much quieter than most dryers I have tried. It has a cord long enough to use for my long hair that also is a swivel cord, which is ultra convenient. 


It has 3 temperature settings (Low, Medium and High) as well as a cool burst, which I use for when I straighten my hair to “set it”. The dryer also has gentle and strong stream.  Giving a wide variety of options to dry all hair types.  I really feel like I am using a dryer right out of my salon! I would highly recommend this hair dryer and all other Xtava products to all my girlfriends in the market for one and for those still using the drug store one!

Silicone Beverage Glasses - Set of 2 Product Review

WINO TALK!  sort of!

These are awesome cups.  They are not the type that you use at the dinner table, but if you like to enjoy wine outdoors, these are for you!  They are flexible silicone, yet sturdy enough to hold fluid and sit on its own... But if you drop it, the only tears will be over wasted wine, not broken glass!

These are so perfect to use on your back deck, front porch, by the pool, at the beach, camping (for those that do that), tailgating your favorite concert, your BFF's BBQ..,  Anywhere outdoors!

If you have kids that tend to break or drop cups, you can use these for juice, water, or soda as well.  You just need to make sure they wont squeeze the cup too hard.  They are super flexible (can fit in your purse or your hubbies pocket)

Best yet... BPA FREE and DISHWASHER SAFE!!!  They are also freezer and microwave safe!  I bet it would be fun to make your own waterice in these!  they are the perfect size!

It also included BONUS drink recipes and directions to brew your own beer!

You can get a set or 2 for yourself HERE

Xtava 5-in-1 Curling Iron Review.

HAIR TIME!!!!

Well... where to begin!  I am horrible at doing my own hair... It is sooo super long (and I love it) but I usually just wash it, crunch it and go... Or those days I dont wash and I just refresh it or put it in a bun...

When Xtava gave me the opportunity to try their 5 in one curler for my honest and unbiased opinion, I was besides myself!!

This is awesome!  first I notice how it came in a great heat resistant travel bag so you can keep all the parts together.  Second was how long the cord (around 8 feet) was and how it was a swivel cord, which is ideal for any hair, but especially the long hair that i have!!

There are 5 barrels, 3 with clips and 2 without.  All are Ceramic Tourmaline Technology which allows your curls to stay shinier with less heat damage.

The iron itself also has a auto-shutoff... no more worrying in the middle of the day if you remembered to shut off the curling iron and if you house is going to burn down  (is that just me??)

I have only ever used drugstore curling irons in the past... But I absolutely LOVED how easy this was to use... It seemed to heat up fast and didnt need to be on my hair too long for my curls to take and for them to last as long as they did.

Now of course since i have only used the DS ones in the past, as i went to curl my first section, i grabbed the top of the iron, only to quickly realize this is a professional tool and there is not plastic safety tip at the top!  OUCH!

Luckily i learn quick and that was the only time that happened.  I was able to do my whole head in just 12 sections....  6 on each side.  (this is using the smallest clip barrel).  It gave me the spiral curls that i never thought i could have and it only took 30 minutes or less to do my whole head...





just twirling and twirling and twirling... 






Best part is, 6 or 7 hours later, they fell a bit, but still looked so good! (disclaimer, my hair was dirty, i had washed it 2 days before)






Changing the barrels is super easy and it locks into place so you dont need to worry about it falling off.

Xtava offers many wonderful products.  You can check them all out on their website and by them directly from them HERE.

You can also buy on Amazon Here!

Lashiq Natural Eyelash Growth Serum Review.

Hi World!!

Today we are talking lashes... I loooove lashes, however, I don't really have noticeable ones which makes me sad.

I was given the chance to try Lashiq Natural Eyelash Growth Serum for review and was very excited!
First thing that I noticed is how much I love the box and logo of the product.  The pink is very cute and the whole thing is very eye catching!




I also really like the fact that the bottom of the box has the date that it was produced, the batch # and the date it expires!  I think all products should have this is an obvious place!

This has a tiny brush (with a cute pink handle) and goes on clear and cool.  I have senstive eyes, so I make sure that I do not apply this too close to my corners and very slowly on my waterline... but so far i have not had any sort of burning issues.  I make sure to apply this at night after i take my contacts out (per the instructions).  The directions say to close eyes for 2 minutes to let it absorb fully, but i dont have that kind of time and find that it dries pretty fast... I usually just fan my face for a few seconds, put my glasses on and lay in bed.

This does not have a smell and is NOT testing on animals!  YAY!  Also, it has claims that it is Opthalmologist and Dermatologist recommended which is marketing i like to see.  It also has directions on the box as well as a leaflet in the box.




Now, I cant say that my lashes are so much longer, but i can tell you i see a difference for sure!  My lashes are darker and fuller and my mascara seems to go on with much more ease.  I no longer seem to have the problem of one eye looking fully and the other looking spacey and thin.  The lashes are a bit longer, but my tips are blonde and it is really hard to tell... but the thickness and fullness is definitely there!  I cant wait to keep using it!

Zim's Max Freeze Review and GIVEAWAY

Here we go... another giveaway!!!  And make sure to stay tuned because in the next few weeks, I will have an AMAZING GIVEAWAY!!!

Now lets talk pain relief.... Many of you know and I know that I have mentioned it before, but I suffer from pretty chronic pain due to several sources (fibro, arthritis, prior surgeries, etc) and have tried many different products out there to help ease pain!

I was excited to have the chance to try this Max Freeze by Zim's.  I would compare this to a Icy Hot type of product.  It goes on very very cold and has a nice soothing warming feeling afterwards.  I wouldnt say this was for severe pain, but when I have a nagging ache and I am in between my RX times, I love that I can just reach for this and put it on quickly and easily.





I received this in a roll on form which I think is brilliant!  It goes on SO easy and best part is you do not have to touch it with your hand, so there is no mess at all!


Please ignore my "chicken skin" this is something that i always have and was not caused by using this product.




Here... please ignore my double chin :))


This makes it much more convenient to keep with me for those time I need it.

When it goes on, it is not sticky or thick and actually absorbs pretty quickly.

It does have a smell, and I could be immune to it, but I don't think that is totally overwhelming.... My husband and office-mates might think different... BUT, it works, so oh well!  haha

I also think it is important to say that this product is NOT testing on animals.

You can to go Zim's Website HERE and find out more about this product and the many other products Zim's has to offer.


AND... click below and you can enter to WIN one for yourself!  Any one who deals with joint pain or knows someone who does, will be lucky to have this!
