Relaxing with Fraiche


After a wild, but super fun at that, Easter weekend with my family, everything is going back to normal. However, the aftermath is to feel a little bit tired from it all, which is why Fraiche is perfect!

When I first saw the Fraiche website, I fell in love! Their products are beautiful and are natural. So, I decided to contact Fraiche and see if they would be willing to do a review, and they agreed! I had the hardest time on deciding what to review, but I ended up choosing the Squeaky Clean soap, the Lemon Verbana soap, the Rose soap, a little bit of Green Meadow soap and a Dew Cactus Flower Bath Swizzle.



Using soaps from Fraiche is about 100% better than using the cheap store bought soap! I always am using the Squeaky Clean soap and it leaves my hands so soft and smell squeaky clean afterwards! I like that they have quite a few different options to choose from, there are scents that women would like, men would like (lemon verbana or the mint) and scents that both would like (usually the scents that men like, women also like, for soaps anyways!).



I am just so impressed with Fraiche and definitely suggest it to anyone! It would also make a perfect gift, as everyone loves to treat themselves to quality natural soap or bath fizzles!

A great option if you decide to give a gift from Fraiche are the trilogies, they come in a set of three and some examples are the Autumn set or the Holiday set. Fraiche also sells special gift sets, which are nice if you are looking to buy a more pricey gift!



Do you like to pamper yourself with spa products and soaps like Fraiche?

Missiko Hair Staightener Review + {Free} Suprise!!!



Just a few days ago I was complaining because of my hair.

Not anymore.

Missiko graciously sent me a Hana Professional Flat Iron to review (plus a little surprise for you if you keep reading!) and I love it! You can straighten your hair with it, lightly curl your hair with it, and do a little flip at the ends of your hair with it. On the first day that I tried my new hair iron, I couldn't get it to curl, but yesterday when I tried again, it did a nice, light, curl!

The Hana Professional Flat Iron can be heated up to 450 degrees! That is a lot! It quickly heats and works like a wonder.

I also have to say that the packaging is wonderful. It arrived with no damage and everything was in place! It also came with a few little things which made even more exciting!

So, when your hair is feeling drowsy, way to curly, or your are just having a bad hair day, the Missiko Hair iron is here to help.

Does this sound like something you would love?

For a Squeaky Clean Feel!

http://www.consumersearch.com/files/images/products/Spinbrush_Pro.jpg

My brother and my Mom both have an electronic toothbrush...I have wanted one for a while now but they can be oh so pricey! However, I found out about Spinbrush, and got in contact with them, and they offered to send me a toothbrush for myself as well as a child toothbrush!


As soon as I got my toothbrush in the mail, I tried it out! It felt massaging and like it was really doing the work. Unlike my regular ole toothbrush. It even felt like I was less likely to hit my gums, which I have problems with for my regular toothbrush. I really like my Spinbrush and am glad that I got the chance to review it!

I thought that the brush size was nice, however, I did feel like the toothbrush part that you hold on to was a bit bulky, this seems to be true for the kids toothbrush as well. Another nice thing about the Spinbrush is that it is cheaper than a lot of electronic toothbrushes. It sells for less than $20, where as others sell for $50+! Its true that it dosen't have all of the features like other ones, but if you don't want to make a big investment on a toothbrush, but still want to take better care of your teeth, then the Spinbrush would be great.

I did receive two toothbrushes to review, however, that did not affect my opinion in any way

The One, The Only, THE IsaBelt!


Have you ever needed a new belt but could not seem to find one because they were all to clunky, to big, to small, or not the right color? When then, I'm sure you'd like the Isa-Belt!



I love these! They aren't bulky at all and are very unnoticeable. Plus, they are cute, especially the ladybug one! One thing that you must remember when purchasing and using your Isa-Belt is that it does NOT adjust like a bra strap does, be sure to read the directions on how to adjust them! They are made out of quality plastic and held up well and have not stretched at all after use.

They also have a wide version which is nice if you are looking for a wider belt.

I really like this Isa-Belt and am excited to keep using mine!

Isa-Belt is currently offering a Brest Cancer belt which they are donating part of the money to a Breast Cancer Research center!


Thank you to Isa-Belt for sending me this product to review. This is not a paid review and all opinions expressed are of my own.

**Stay Tuned for an Isa-Belt Giveaway (Hint: comment on this review to get an extra entry!)

Spooktacular Review: Sweet Basill Designs

Sweet Basill's Designs - Etsy Shop

I was excited to receive this adorable door hanger in the mail to review. It is very well constructed and is absolutely cute! It says "Whoos There?" and has an owl on it.

Visit her shop here!

The one thing that I wish was different about it was the size - it would have been great if it could be a couple inches skinnier because whenever I shut my door, it would bang into the side and stop the door from being shut. Otherwise, the hanger is wonderful! It has held up nicely.

Another great thing about her shop is that she usually ships withing 24 hours.

Another great thing about her shop are the great prices! And if your looking for something special and can't find it in her shop, she takes custom orders!

Sweet Basill's Designs has a lot of adorable products that I would love to adorn my room with!

Ooh La La Boutique Tags

This Paris styled door hanger is right up my alley!



And isn't this "Hoo To You" gift bag tag perfect for halloween?



And a "Wicked Banner" to adorn your house with this season!

Be sure to check out her shop here!

Review: S.C. Johnson Soy Based Candles






Products: "S.C. Johnson The Fragrance Collection by Glade - Soy Based candles."
Rating: 5 out of 5









I received these three wonderful candles as well as well as a Reed Difuser from S.C. Johnson in the mail. They are all very nicely packaged and I love the look they have. They smell great too! To review, I received the Currants & Acai reed dispenser , and 3 of the soy based candles in, Jasmine & Wild Orchid, Currants and Acai, and Lotus Bamboo. My favorite out of the three candles would probably be the Lotus Bamboo. The candles let out a great smell but didn't smell fake or to overwheming like som candles do. They burn nicely and have already lasted through many lightings!




As for the dispneser, I really enjoyed using that as well. However, I did decide that I like their candles better than the dispenser as the candles fill the room with a little bit of a stronger room whereas the dispenser dosen't do that as much. However, I love how the dispenser's look, almost exotic. It is also nice that you don't have to worry about them when you at night or when you are gone as their isn't a flame for it to start something on fire. Another thing that I did noitce about the dispenser is that it seems to get low on liquid quickly, unlike the candles which seem to be lasting longer. However, I still really do enjoy the dispenser!



Another thing that I really enjoyed was their website. Its really nicely put together and it has a really, well, calming affect to it. While your searching around it plays harp music and the website just looks really fresh, clean, and overall really well put together. When I look at online stores, the way the website is made really affects my decision as to if I will purchase their items or not, if the website is cheasy and not well put together, I most likely won't stay to evan look around! However, I love it when a website looks put together and proffesional like this one!
I will definatley be purchasing more candles from S.C. Johnson! I think you should try them out as well!

Thank you to S.C. Johnson who kindly sent me this product to review. This is not a paid review and all opinions expressed are of my own. Enjoy!

Review: Design our Own Charm Watch

http://www.beadinspirations.com/images/manufacturers/charm_watch.jpg

Item: "Design Your Own Charm Watch" Klutz book instructions and materials
Rating: 4 out of 5
Review:

Do you have a creative side? Do you like fashion? Or maybe you just want a cute watch so you'll be able to tell your little brother that he has been on the computer for not his promised 1 minute, but rather 30! If so, than this book is for you. It comes with a booklet full of instruction with cute ideas plus a watch and charms so you can design your own!

This is a really fun project, and my bracelet turned out adorable. It even looks store bought! The nice thing about this booklet is that it has so many different ideas and instructions on how to do them. You can also mix and match the charms to tell the story of your life! The one thing that I don't really like however, is that there ended up to be so many extras. I think it would be nice if you could purchase just a single extra watch that you can use your extra charms on.

You can purchase this item from Amazon here, as the "Klutz" website is currently not working:

A "Fearless" Review



CD: "Fearless"
Artist: Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has recently (November 11th, 2008) came out with a new CD, "Fearless." There are 13 songs on the soundtrack all of which are written by Taylor herself! You may have heard her song, "Love Story" or "You Belong With Me", which are both songs on the CD, on the radio many times. Taylor's songs are very catchy and make you want to sing!


I love Taylor Swifts songs on her "Fearless" CD! A few of my favorites are, "Breathe," "Your Not Sorry" and "Best Day." Her songs are easily relatable and she isn't afraid to use the names of her ex boyfriends in her songs! I purchased this CD and was not disappointed. If you are a fan of Taylor Swifts, or even if your not, I encourage you to listen to this CD!



This is not a paid review. I was given this CD as a Christmas gift.

Review: N.Y.C Color -Quick Dry


Rating: 4 out of 5
Purchase:



Purchase here
Or here


N.Y.C. Nail polish has come out with a whole new line! "New York Color" and I love it! Currently, I am wearing the "East Village" color which is a turquoise'ish blue and I absolutely love it! The color has a bit of a shimmer to it and it looks really neat! However, I found that to get the color more vibrant you have to apply two layers. The nail polish dries quickly and doesn't clump up like some cheap brands. And one of the best things about this line of polish is that is very inexpensive! The bottle could be a little more fashionable, however, it really isn't about the bottle, but rather whats in side, right?

Review: "Beaded 4-Strand Bracelet"



Item:

Beaded 4-Strand Bracelet

Store: Aeropostale

Price: $12.50 or Buy 1 get one free.

Purchase Here

I purchased this bracelet because I needed accessories for a yellow sunflower dress that I was to wear for 4-H Fashion Revue. It can be hard to find reasonably priced jewelry that dosen't look cheap, so I was excited when I found this set off four adorable beaded bracelets! They look very nice and they have held up through being worn. They don't look as cheap as they are and they are a really nice color brown! They also come in a pink color. I think that the ribbon that ties the four together adds a really nice finishing touch to the bracelet. I enjoy wearing this and think that you will as well!

This is not a paid revue, I purchased this product.

Review: Alyssa Shirt Dress



Delias.com
"Alyssa Shirt Dress" Review
Rating: 4.5 out of 5

I love this dress from Delias. You can wear it with a lot of different things, dress it up, or dress it down! It also has the somewhat old fashioned look to it, but keeps the sophisticated look that us teens love today! I've worn this dress quite a few times already and have received many comments saying that they love my dress on it! It also comes in quite a few different colors, white, black, teal, as well as a few others! This dress is overall, just a really, really nice dress that makes you look cute and sophisticated while wearing!
