Shielo beauty products are cruelty free, sustainable, made in the USA,  vegan, and natural based. They’re philosophy, “To create products with integrity and ensure the we preserve the future well being of our environment.”  Shielo is against animal cruelty and uses post consumer recycled and recyclable packaging.

I think that first paragraph really says a lot about this company.  I had the opportunity to try one of their products.  The Shielo Visage Complexion Moisturizer. It comes in a 2 oz container.  To look at the packaging it doesn’t look like much but knowing what goes into it, means a whole lot more.  Or perhaps I should say what doesn’t go into it.

This product states to have anti-aging benefits. The ph helps blotchy skin and moisturizes without blocking pores.  It contains antioxidants and bioflavanoids.  This product really doesn’t have much of a scent.  Perhaps a very light baby powder like scent but it is barely noticable.  The cream itself is white and a thicker cream. I turned the container upside down and the cream really didn’t move much.

This cream worked very well as a moisturizer.  It left my skin feeling dewey and soft for hours after applying.  I would definitely recommend this moisturizer  Right now on on Shielo.com you can get the Shielo Visage Complexion Moisturizer for 50% off.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Scott’s Liquid Gold Clean Screen is meant to help you safely clean your electronics.  It comes in a generous 6.5 oz spray bottle and includes a microfiber cleaning cloth.  This can be used to clean your flat screen TVs, computer monitors, digital cameras, GPSs, cell phones, and more safely without the use of alcohol or ammonia.

The directions tell you to turn off the device your cleaning.  Spray the cleaning spray directly onto the provided microfiber cloth and then clean your device.  It says to use 1 spray for small screens and 2-4 sprays for larger screens.

The spray is formulated with what they call “reverse osmosis” solution which they explain to be a state of the art water treatment technology.  It supposed to remove mineral deposits and impurities smaller than water molecules themselves.

I first tried this cleaning solution on my computer monitor which is about 19 inches.   I used two sprays on the cloth.  It removed some of the grunge on my screen but not all of it.  I sprayed more into the cloth and wiped again.  Some of the spots were still left behind.  It took me about 10 sprays until I could get my screen completely clean.  Some of the spots I really had to scrub at.  I then tried it on my smart phone.  It worked fairly well on my smart phone with only 1 spray.  My smart phone was not nearly as dirty as my computer screen (for some reason).

Then the big chore. Our 50 inch flat screen tv.  I had to use quite a bit of this product to get the tv screen clean.  I have a toddler who likes to touch the bottom of the screen from time to time so there are normally a few toddler finger prints and hand prints on the screen at any given time. With some elbow grease and about 20 sprays of the product I was finally able to get my TV screen clean.

Did the product work?  Yes eventually I was able to clean the my devices but with much more of the product than the directions indicate.  If I’m going to be perfectly honest, I’ve used more effective products before for this type of cleaning job.  However, if you are looking for a product with the benefits of not using alcohol or ammonia then this will do work if you don’t mind using a little more.

Char Crust dry rubs and seasonings are an easy to use dry rub to add to any  meat, fish, or even vegetable.  These dry rub seasonings were created in 1957 at their family’s legendary Chicago Steakhouse.  The way they make the seasonings hasn’t changed.  The family makes it themselves in small batches using only the best ingredients.  It is one of the few kosher certified rubs available.

Char Crust dry rub seasonings create a crust full of flavor on your meats, fish, and veggies that seals in the juices.  You can use these seasonings anyway you like.  Coat your food in the product or just sprinkle a little on whatever you like to add flavor.

My family and I had the opportunity to try out these Char Crust dry rubs.  My oldest son, the little chef, wanted to help.

We received Char Crust in the following flavors: Ginger Teriyaki, All American Barbecue, Amazin’ Cajun, and Garlic Peppercorn.  With all the mouth watering flavors we opted for the All American Barbecue to try first.  We decided to try it on pork chops coated in the All American Barbecue flavor.  We just poured some of it into a bowl.  My son started coating them right away.  No dipping in egg, no mixing anything, it’s ready to use.

As you can see it was pretty easy to use and coated the meat well.  The scent of the herbs and spices was evident.  You could smell it just standing there in the kitchen.  We decided to broil our chops.  This is how the crust turned out
