With fall coming I was on the hunt for a comfortable, casual hoodie that I could wear to take my son to school or lunch with friends. I decided to try the . It was a little outside of my usual comfort zone but I really liked how comfortable, long and lightweight it looked.

When it arrived I was very impressed! It is obviously a quality piece. I love the detailing that I hadn’t noticed in the pictures; on the design that is on the front of the sweatshirt there are little rhinestone embellishments that add such a fun touch. It has still been hot here in Las Vegas but I have been wearing my hoodie in the evenings and I love it! It is beyond comfortable.


Another product I would love to try is the Repeat Possessions . It is one size fits all, long, with full coverage in the front and is available in 61 colors! Repeat Possessions is approved to carry and private label the entire line!

Cariloha Bamboo Sheets Review and Giveaway (Ends 9/19)


photo 4 copy
I have had my current sheets for longer than I care to admit. I knew that it was time for a new set and so I did one of my favorite things to do: research! I started combing the Internet trying to find the best sheets out there and I discovered Sheets. I’m not sure if I have been living under a rock or was just oblivious to the wonder that is Bamboo Sheets but I am so excited to tell you all about them!

I did know that bamboo is the most sustainable, renewable resource on the planet but I had no idea it was so incredibly versatile! Cariloha Bamboo is beyond silky. It is twice as soft as cotton and is even softer than 1,000-thread count Egyptian cotton. When I first heard that claim it was hard to believe, but let me tell you, I have never felt sheets that are softer than my .

Sheets-4_1


Beyond being extremely soft and environmentally friendly, I love the fact that Cariloha Bamboo sheets keep you 3 degrees cooler in the summer than cotton sheets due to the water wicking properties of bamboo. My husband is an extremely hot sleeper and we have both noticed a huge difference since using our new sheets. Cariloha also says that its temperature regulating properties will keep you insulated and warmer in the winter. I have not yet used my sheets in the cooler months but I do believe that this will prove to be very true.

I love my sheets! They are fantastic! I really appreciate the fact that my Cariloha Bamboo sheets are extra deep fitted (up to 18’ deep), that they are Hypoallergenic, antibacterial and to top it off they are easily machine washable. I have also heard that unlike cotton, bamboo sheets will not discolor over time. The only possible drawback is that they come out of the dryer very wrinkly. At first I was concerned but as soon as they were on the bed they were perfect. I do still recommend taking them out of the dryer immediately.

Cariloha Bamboo carries their amazing sheets in several different colors including blue, sage, tan and white. They are priced starting at $99. In addition to their sheets Cariloha Bamboo also carries towels, robes, blankets, clothing for men and women along with accessories.  Cariloha Bamboo is a fantastic company and these sheets are nothing short of quality.

Oransi Robby Wash Laundry Ball Review and Giveaway (Ends 9/16)

Laundry is a never-ending chore in our house. Thankfully, doing the laundry is one of my favorite household tasks. With a baby, busy toddler, workout clothes, my husbands work clothes, sheets, towels, etc. I easily do 4-5 loads a week. At night when I leave my son’s room after tucking him in he always tells me to have fun folding laundry. It is something I often do at night when the kids are in bed and the house is quiet. It gives me a chance to catch up on my TV shows instead of the animated ones I watch in the day.

3487290010013-2T


If I do have a complaint about laundry it is the mess. I hate all the soaps, detergents and residue. Recently I had the opportunity to review . While it was hard for me to comprehend how a tiny ball was going to clean my clothes I was so excited to see how it worked!

The Robby Wash Ball has unique, patented technology that cleans your laundry wonderfully! It contains small macromolecule pellets that gradually release in the wash dissolving stains and cleaning all your fabrics. The best part is that the Robby Wash Ball Pack contains 10 ounces of pellets, which can clean for 12 months or 120 washes. That is equivalent to 1,200+ ounces or 75 lbs. of laundry detergent. At $32.95 a pack the savings really do add up. The Robby Wash’s effectiveness is tested, proven and guaranteed.

photo 2
It works in hot or cold water and with front loading and top loading machines. One Robby Wash Ball can clean ten pounds of laundry in a single wash. If you prefer larger loads they recommend using two Robby Wash Balls. These laundry balls can be used with or without bleach but you should never put the laundry ball in the dryer. It could damage the washing ball and reduce its effectiveness.

Along with the full Robby Wash Laundry Ball you also receive 3 extra refill pellet packs and a stain stick. The stain stick in my opinion was the least amazing part of the pack. It is pretty small and while I tested it on several different stains I didn’t find it to be consistently more effective than my regular stain remover.

Over all I am extremely impressed with my Robby Wash Laundry Ball Pack. It cleans my clothes easily without making a mess. I smile every time I start the washer without putting in detergent.  I absolutely appreciate that it is hypoallergenic since the men in my life have sensitive skin. It is very gentle. The Robby Wash has no phosphates or chlorine nad is RoHS lead free.

FOLLOW: You can connect with Oransi on , and .

BUY: Oransi also carries other wonderful products including Air Purifiers and Ionic Deodorizers. You can learn more about their products and purchase them directly from their .

It Cosmetics Review

I hate that moment at the end of a long day when I look in the mirror only to discover that my makeup has smudged and is a total mess. Then I find myself wondering how long it has been like that and how many people have seen me with my smudged and fading makeup.  Recently I had the opportunity to try out the Pretty in Smoke from IT Cosmetics and it was unbelievable!

PicMonkey Collage

The shadows blended perfectly and stayed on all day long. has a line of “Naturally Pretty” Luxe Eye shadow Trios. They are a collection of waterproof, high performance shadows that are infused with anti-aging and age reverse technology. The shadows are packed with hydrating ingredients that are wonderful for your skin including hydrolyzed collage, green tea, acai and vitamins A, C and E. It is also paraben, oil and fragrance free. I love that the eye shadow trio is hypoallergenic as well.

photo 5
I chose the Pretty In Smoke Trio, which has a soft light pink, neutral beige smoke, and rich gray satin shadows. When I first applied the shadows I was immediately impressed with how smoothly they went on and how well the colors blended. Each shadow has a beautiful color and I really appreciate that you don’t have to apply layer after layer to get the right effect. The shadows can be used dry or wet as eye shadows or as eyeliner, which is fabulous!

IT Cosmetics works with leading plastic surgeons to create extremely cutting edge anti-aging, high performance cosmetics. The quality is obvious! I have several shadows that are more expensive and less effective. IT Cosmetics Eye Shadow Trios are perfect for your makeup bag!  They are especially perfect to take when you are traveling because they are compact and long lasting.

photo 2
At the end of each day that I have used my IT Cosmetics Eye Shadow Trio I get so excited when I look in the mirror and see that my makeup looks exactly the same as it did when I put it on that morning. It even stays in place after the pool! Initially I was concerned that it would be a challenge to get off or that it would feel sticky or greasy but that has not been the case. It comes of when I want it to and leaves my skin feeling wonderful! I cannot wait to try more makeup from IT Cosmetics.
