Neocell offers a variety of beauty and fitness products to help you look and feel good. Neocell’s founder realized the benefits of collagen through a personal experience which you can read on the company’s info page.  Neocell uses only the highest quality collagen and collagen related products available on the market. There are many products to choose from in lost of different forms.

I had the opportunity to try a few Neocell products of my choosing.  With so many great sounding products I had a hard time deciding.  I finally chose to try their all new Beauty Burst chews in mint chocolate flavor (also available in superfruit punch), Resveratrol 100 mg, and Neocell refreshing herbal mist.

The Neocell refreshing herbal mist comes in a slender spritzer bottle that makes it easy to tuck it away in your purse or backpack.  This spray is for “on-the-go moisture”.  It contains skin balancing herbs, collagen, and vitamins.  I sprayed this on my face and hair as instructed.  It was actually very freshing. It had a cool sensation with an herbal scent to it.  It says the herb combination is for skin balancing.  I detected the scent of rosemary from the very first spritz and sure enough, rosemary is one of the herbal ingredients in this spray.  I imagine this spray will be a real asset in the summer when it’s warm and humid out.  Great way to freshen your skin on the go.

The next product I tried was the Neocell Beauty Bursts.  The newest product available.  There are currently two flavors: Fresh Mint Chocolate and Super Fruit Punch.  I opted for the mint chocolate flavor.  You can chew two of these per serving.  These little bites contain collagen type 1 & 3, Hyaluronic Acid (for skin hydration), and Vitamin C (to help enhance collagen).  I’ll be honest the very first time I tried them they had a good flavor at first but seemed to have a bit of an after taste.  I’ve been eating these now for a little over a week and the flavor has really grown on me.  They’re really quite chewy, like taffy, so the flavor does last a while in your mouth.  The mint seems to power over the chocolate flavor a bit.  These chews are gluten free, soy free, and do not contain any artificial flavors.

Resveratrol 100 mg is a dietary supplement that is supposed to help with “cellular rejuvenation and youthful vitality” according to the bottle.  One of the reasons I had chose to try this product is because I had tried a different reveratrol product before and I really liked it. For me personally I did notice some changes.  I felt like my skin was a little more taut on my face.  This particular Resveratrol product from Neocell contains extracts from wine grapes, and grapeseed from the Bordeaux region of France.  They also use muscadine grapes and pomegranate seed extract as well. They come in capsule form and it’s recommended to take 5 capsules per day (150 in the bottle).  The capsules are easy to swallow.

During the time of me trying these supplements I was also doing a challenge to drink more water, which I did.  Of course most people know that drinking more water is good for your body. I think a combination of drinking the water and taking the supplements I noticed again that my skin on my face felt a little more taut. The herbal spray was definitely refreshing and I could feel the effects of that immediately.  The Beauty Bursts were pleasant to chew.

Versatile Lace Top from SammyDress

**I received the below mentioned item in order to complete a review of SammyDress. This post also contains affiliate links.**

I’m excited to be working with Sammydress.com again to show you more of their fashionable clothing.  I’m a fan of Sammydress.com not only for the huge selection but the amazing prices. This time I opted to review one of their tops.  I went for this pretty long sleeved lace top available for only $7.22 USD on their site. One of the things that caught my eye with the top is the beautiful lace pattern.  This shirt is light enough to wear alone in the spring or fall or nice in the spring, fall, or winter as a layering shirt.  I put together a few looks for with the lace top.  The first one was a little more dressy, maybe business casual?

I mentioned before that my one complaint with the site is that many items just have a “one size” size option.  This was another one of those items.  This shirt barely fit me.  If I were to choose I would have chose at least one size bigger than what I received but since it’s a “one size” item, I didn’t really have that option.  For my size and torso I felt the shirt was a bit short.  .  The sleeves were a good length for me though.

There is some stretch to the shirt. Being that it was a bit tight for my taste I thought it might make a good layering shirt.  I tried a few different looks in that aspect.

You can find this shirts on Sammydress.com listed as Embroidered Hollowed Wavy Edge Lace Solid Color T-shirt for Women.  This shirt is also available in beige and black lace.  What do you think you would use a lace shirt like this for?  I can probably thing of about 5 or 10 other reasons I might where this shirt.

New Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets

I received a sample of Purex Crystals dryer sheets through the Purex Insiders blogger program. No other compensation has been received.

I Love the smell of Purex Crystals.  The whole family likes them.  Purex Crystals go right into your washing machine with your clothes and leave your clothes smelling great for days.  Now Purex has Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets.

If you’re a fan of scented products, this one is for you.  The first two available are the Fresh Spring Waters and Lavender Blossom that you can find in the Purex Crystals scents.  I was excited to try these being such a big fan of the crystals. I received the Fresh Spring Waters scent to try.

Blog 006 Blog 007

 

As far as appearance, they didn’t look much different than a regular dryer sheet.  In regard to scent though, there was a difference.  I could smell the dryer sheets before I even opened the box.  I placed the dryer sheet in the dryer, started the dryer, and went on about my day.  The scent followed me though and I realized that my hand smelled of the dryer sheet.  It was a very strong scent.  I had to wash my hands because it was starting to get to me.  When I pulled my clothes out of the dryer I could smell the Fresh Spring Water scent as soon as I opened the dryer door.  Once folded and put in baskets though, the scent tamed a bit and was actually quite pleasant.

The scent from these dryer sheets is supposed to last for 30 days.  The dryer sheets help to reduce static cling and repel pet hair and lint.  I would not use these in a household with someone who has sensitive skin or is sensitive to scents.  I would not be able to use these for my 1 yr old daughter or my 4 yr old son.

With the introduction of the new Purex Crystals dryer sheets there is also a sweepstakes.  The Try Your Luck sweepstakes where you can win $500 and a year supply of Purex Crystals dryer sheets.

Bebe Bella Strap Covers Super Soft

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

When I had my first son, I really didn’t know the point of strap covers until he fell asleep on a car ride one day and I noticed a red mark on his neck from where the strap was pressing in.  It was the way he was sleeping but I felt horrible.  I ended up buying him a set the very next day.  Now that my youngest (and 4th) is here, I make sure to have strap covers. They work for car seats, strollers, and just about any other baby item that might have straps like a high chair or swing for instance.

Bebe Bella strap covers are made of a super soft minky chenille fabric.  I love how they feel.  Reminds me of a soft body powder puff.  They come in a variety of colors and are reversible.  They wrap around just about any strap and attach with a velcro strip.  I tried them out with my daughter in a car seat.

 

bebe bella strap covers

These had a polka dot design you can see in the picture with a mix of white dark gray, light gray, and pink.  The other side is a solid light pink color.  These fit perfectly on her car seat straps.  I can imagine they would be pretty comfortable against her skin with how soft they are.

Bebe Bella strap covers are 100% Polyester.  They are machine washable and made right here in the USA.

If you’d like to see all the colors available and order your own, I have  50% off coupon code for you to purchase the strap covers.  Enter code: blogstrap at checkout on Bebebelladesigns.com .  This coupon is valid April 28 – May 8, 2014.  Also don’t forget to sign up for the Bebe Bella Designs reward program.  You’ll earn 1 point for every dollar spent that can be redeemed later for rewards on theirs site.  You also get 20 points just for signing up and a coupon for $10 off your first purchase of $25 or more.

Wearever Socks Because…

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Have you ever worn a pair of socks and they just weren’t comfortable? Maybe the seem at the toe was more pronounced and pressed into your toes.  Maybe your socks were too thick and made your shoes feel tight.  Now imagine one of those scenarios for someone who has health issues in regards to their feet such as poor circulation, diabetes, or feet that are irritated in some other way.  Not only would that be uncomfortable but it could actually cause a the person more health issues.  Even something like pregnancy with swollen feet, if you wear socks that are too tight from elastic it can make you really uncomfortable.

Wearever offers socks made by Buster Brown that are better than a traditional sock for these conditions.  They are made of 100% cotton and are made with no elastics or synthetics.

I received a pair just like the ones pictured above.  Initially they seemed thing but seemed to be well made.  The socks were a bit big for me, I’m not sure if I received the wrong size or if it’s just the way my feet are. What I like about these is that the material felt soft on my feet.  They worked well with my tennis shoes and other shoes and didn’t add bulk to make it feel like my shoes were tighter.  There is a seam at the toes but it was minimal and I hardly noticed it when I wore the socks.  I would think that would be pretty important for someone with diabetes that has to take extra care to prevent ulcers.
