Premium Masala Green Chai Tea-Organic,Loose leaf
A little goes a long way with this tea! It can be really strong. I used this loose leaf tea with my tea diffuser set and wow does it have flavor. I tried it first without any sweetener and milk to see what it was like on it's own, and goodness this isn't for weak tea drinkers! This is definitely a strong tea with a very authentic flavor. I then tried it the way chai is meant to be. Sweet with milk. MMmmm. This was delicious. I was out of regular milk so I tried with soy milk (Lactose intolerant husband). Very good! Absolutely loved it.
❤ LIKES:
Great flavor on it's own
Delicious sweetened with milk and sugar
💔 DISLIKES:
Nothing to really dislike
☁ FINAL THOUGHTS
I was having a really horrible day when I tried this tea. I wasn't feeling well. I just felt out of it. This tea was a wonderful pick me up. You know when you wake up on a cold morning and you have that first cup of perfect coffee and you hold it with both hands while savoring it's warmth? That is the feeling I got when drinking this chai.

Pure Rosewater by Joyal
I recently acquired some rose water serum to use and incorporated this rosewater toner into my daily facial routine. With the first day I could tell a definite difference! I am going to admit I am pretty new to developing a facial routine. After doing just a little bit of research I used a basic cleanser for my face, then the rose water toner, serum, then a moisturizer. You would think with all that my face would feel caked, but my face actually feels more fresh. I feel like I can breath. After the first day I loved the way my skin felt. I continued to do this regimen daily after a shower and I noticed my skin tone was becoming more even and my pores didn't look like swimming pools!
I'm very intrigued there is only one ingredient and that is indeed rose water. Though with it only being one ingredient I'm not exactly sure how it differs from the rest of the rose water products.
❤ LIKES:
Simple One Ingredient
Immediate Freshness and hydration
Beautiful natural light scent.
Lower risk of triggering allergies.
Bottle is pleasing to the eyes.
💔 DISLIKES:
Just not sure how this differs from the rest
☁ FINAL THOUGHTS
I am African American with a dark skin tone, worked really well for my skin type. I did try spraying it in my hair, but it really wasn't enough to moisturize. I found some information reporting that rose water is safe for babies in children. My baby boy has a very dry scalp so I used some on his head for a few days and it works really well! I decided to use it on my daughter's hair (my children are biracial) and it worked really well with freshening and moisturizing her hair. I would definitely recommend!

Bath Toy Organizer
I don't have tile, or a ceramic bathtub/shower and unfortunately it wouldn't stick on my bathroom walls so I got a bit creative and used It in my daughters room instead! She has an upper bunk bed and loves to read in bed so I hung it from the metal frame and put some of her favorite books and stuffed animals inside it for when she is up in her bed. She loved it! She also loved the cute bonus bath toys that came with it and quickly went off to play with them. I plan to re-purpose the hooks and hang them from the mirror in my room to keep some of my favorite scarves.
I have lots of
ideas for how to use this. I could probably find a way to put it in
the car to keep items nearby.
❤ LIKES:
Very large bag
Cute toys and Loofa
Strong mesh
Versatile
💔
DISLIKES:
OMG if my daughter squeaks these toys
one more time I'm going to scream!!
Bag is very plain
☁ FINAL THOUGHTS
☁ FINAL THOUGHTS
Didn't work in my bathroom as I don't
have tile or mirror in my bathroom but that was my fault. I should
have realized the suction wouldn't not have worked on my bathroom
surface. It did work great on metal though and I found the organizer
very versatile as I could use it in my daughters room instead.

Valentia Royal Rose Hydrating Serum
I've really never
dabbled in too many facial creams and I haven't never really spent
money on a real quality product. I usually just go to Walmart and get
Ponds or some other cost effective brand but I realized I honestly
didn't know what I was missing.
When I put this
on I could immediately tell a difference. My skin felt softer almost
immediately and the soft smooth feeling last me well into the night.
I work night shift so I put it on before going to work despite the
directions implying to put it on before bed. Looking in the mirror I
feel like my face has a certain glow about it.
It comes in
attractive packaging but honestly I'm not one to be impressed by
packaging. I wanted to try it out. I was pleased to read in the
directions you only need two pumps and I found that to be true. Only
two pumps spread easily over my face and neck. I applied after
washing my face in the shower. I found the light scent of roses
absolutely refreshing.
❤ LIKES:
Light rose scent
A little goes a LONG
way
Not greasy, goes on
very light.
💔
DISLIKES:
If I had to absolutely pick something I
dislike it's the brown bottle. I'm not too fond of it, and it isn't
very aesthetically pleasing.
☁ FINAL THOUGHTS
What the bottle looks like doesn't
really matter to me, how this feels on my face does, and it feels
wonderful. It sounds silly, but I look forward to putting this on
before work, and I find myself touching my face throughout the day to
feel the softness. Really love this!

Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 2-in-1 Convertible 11.6-inch IPS Touchscreen Laptop
Full disclosure. I love computers, loving working with them, playing on them, socializing on them, but if you ask me to build one, or suggest to you what specifications you need to run the latest game I wouldn't know. I could tell you how to find out but I would be clueless. So if you are looking for specs check it out on Amazon.
My reason for buying this computer was for doing schoolwork and internet browsing. This probably wouldn't be the greatest for gaming but for me this was perfect. I was looking for something light so it would be easy to carry around and not cumbersome to hold. I am using it currently to write this review.
Aesthetically it is very pleasing. It looks a lot better in person than it does on the amazon website. I've had no issues connecting to Wi-Fi.
I love the option to use it as a tablet.

I love this little guy. Easy to carry around with me. I took it on a trip with me to Milwaukee recently, I didn't have any problems with the battery. Kept a charge for a rather long time. Seems sturdy too as I accidentally stepped on it and it suffered to ill effects.

Marco Raffine Premier Colored Pencils
I am just getting started into adult coloring books. After having a baby, going to school, working full time, this is a nice relaxing hobby that helps me wind down. It's easy to pick up and put down again if needed.
I like to use hard pressure when coloring, and I was immediately surprised with how rich the colors came out. I was coloring on some pretty standard paper but it took the color very well. I did experiment with trying lighter pressures and it was easy to add some sort of depth. Even though there were only 36 pencils I found myself with multiple shade options.
Aesthetically these pencils are very pretty.
❤ LIKES:
Multiple colors and shades.
No repeats
💔 DISLIKES:
The metallic colors look very dull
☁ FINAL THOUGHTS
I enjoyed coloring with these pencils, they were comfortable to hold, didn't roll away. The colors were very rich and eye catching. I felt like I had a tremendous amount of options when I was working on my adult coloring page.

I had previous reviewed
a set of loop exercise bands and thought they were pretty good, but these go a
step further. They are wider and thicker so they don't feel as uncomfortable to
hold. They also feel stronger. There is no fear that these will snap at any
moment. After heavy use the sides don’t curl up and stick to each other. I didn’t
realize what I was missing with my previous loop bands until I used these.
The bands come in a draw
string bag that is portable and easy to carry. Aesthetically these bands are
very pleasing to the eye. One even comes in purple which is my favorite color.
Unlike the previous bands I have used these bands don’t have an overpowering
smell of rubber, they actually smell more like balloons. The scent does linger
a bit on your hands but not very overpowering. Simply wash and be done with it.
The bands come with a
paper insert that has a link to download directions for exercise in the form of
a PDF. The guide is full color with use of real photos (not drawn images) of
people using the actual bands.
Wider
and thicker bands
No
skin irritation
No

PURPLE!!
💔 DISLIKES:
Lingering scent of
balloons
No actual video
☁ FINAL THOUGHTS
These are the best loop bands I’ve had. Very pleased with these. The only thing I would have liked to see is a youtube video featuring how to use these bands. I would definitely recommend these bands and will continue to use them as part of my workout!
