As a child growing up in Hawaii, you could find Aloe Vera plants everywhere and anywhere you could think of, including our backyard.  My dad used it to treat our burns and sunburn during the summer and other medicinal uses, but I had never heard about drinking aloe water until a few years ago, maybe because I didn’t pay attention to it much or it wasn’t told to me directly.  With my sons in full sports mode for summer (we are finishing up basketball season and going into football season in about a month), we always try to ensure that we keep all of our boys fully hydrated and ready to play in the hot summer sun.  Today, I share with you my thoughts and my son Kevin’s on Detox Water, a Bioactive Aloe Water.

Detox Water is a mother inspired drink created by Founder Kenneth Park.  In his childhood days Kenneth’s mother had experienced serious digestive issues and no medication worked in trying to heal her ailments.  A doctor she seen suggested trying aloe.  By adding aloe water to her diet, she not only resolved her stomach problems, but she improved her immune response to the on-going stomach pains.  After realizing the plethora of benefits she experienced from ingesting aloe, Ken’s mother shared her smoothies with the rest of the family.  Each morning with breakfast she would serve her delicious aloe-filled smoothies, blended with fruits and yogurt to neutralize the plant’s naturally bitter taste.

Detox Water is actually the re-launch of the business that Kenneth started in his dorm room at Babson College.  In 2012, he created Superleaf Organic Aloe Juice and sold cases on campus, while juggling classwork and business.  While it was quite successful – Superleaf drink was similar in variation to existing aloe drinks on the market – which did not deliver all the potential health benefits of truly bioactive aloe vera.  After going back to the grind and working everything out, Detox Water became what it is today.

“Detox Water was born in the spirit of my mom and is testament to a strong commitment to health  I believe in aloe vera’s healing properties because it healed me, prepared me for every day.  I created Detox Water to share my experience with you, help you heal from the inside out.” – Kenneth Park (Founder, Detox Water)

Detox Water is available in three different delicious flavors – Original, Pinamint and Mangaloe.  Each bottle contains 350mg of ACTIValoe aloe gel flakes with no less than 10% aloe polysaccarides by dry weight.  I know it’s a lot of technical talk – but basically, that means it’s comparable to drinking a shot of the most extensitively researched and clinically-proven pure aloe juice.  Each bottle is filled with electrolytes and vitamins to help replenish and restore your body with electrolytes, vitamin c and a full range of vitamin b’s.  What also makes this so wonderful is that Detox Water is made without the use of artificial colors, flavors and preservatives.  The aloe water is able to provide healthy hydration from the best of what nature has to offer.  Detox Water is just 15 calories per serving and is rejuvenating, refreshing aloe water paired with organic and natural flavors.  It’s literally something that helps to make you feel great and not guilty.

My entire family has been loving Detox Water – so much so that we have already repurchased a case for us to share.  Each case retails for $45.00 (12 bottles).  My son Kevin however, has been loving Detox Water as a way to re-hydrate after his basketball games.  Most of the gyms here in Hawaii are old and many of them do not have air circulation through out.  After an extensive game my son’s shirts are drenched in sweat and he’s beyond exhausted.  Drinking Detox Water that has been chilled is a great way to hydrate and really just give his body back the nutrients he lost while running about the court.

“Detox Water tastes GREAT!  The Mangaloe is my favorite but all of the flavors taste really good.  After one sip I feel hydrated and refreshed.  I love to drink a few sips of this during half-time to get my energy back and give me the extra electrolytes my body needs to recover from an intense game.  I have never tried aloe water before, but you can’t taste any bitter flavor at all.  It’s delicious and I really enjoy it.” – Kevin

As a mother, I try to instill proper care of your body and health to all of my children.  We are all busy bodies in our household and by teaching my sons at a young age that caring for your well-being is important, I’m hoping it will continue on with them as they become adults and well into their life.  I also suffer from ailments of health and have found after drinking Detox Water, it has improved my issues with my stomach, my IBS and other problems I have been experiencing.  I’m not a doctor, but I do notice that things have improved with my health, and of course – my son noticed immediately after drinking his first Detox Water how his body felt rejuvenated.

I received Detox Water over a month ago and my family and I have really tested the products for a long period of time to see it’s benefits.  I’m beyond impressed and as I stated before, we have already placed an order for replenishing our water.  I have never tried anything like it before and I didn’t think it would taste as good as it did.

If you are interested in trying Detox Water for yourself and getting you a case – you can do so by checking out their website.  You can opt to do a single purchase of a Detox Water case or sign up for their Delivery Subscription and get 20% off your orders.  I haven’t found anywhere local that sells this water as of yet, so we have to order our case online.  However, it’s worth it if you are looking for Immunity boosts and other benefits like skin health & anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory and heart health help.  I have been really liking how it has helped my stomach, my blood pressure and my immune system.

May is Military Awareness Month and as a child who grew up hearing stories of War from my daddy and family members, the Military and our Troops hold a special place in my heart.  I am proud to say that I have family members, like my daddy, who have fought for my freedom and so thankful to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for us.  There is so much we can do to make others aware of the Military and what they have done and continue to do for our Country and I’m so happy and thankful that there are so many companies out there that give back to our troops.  Today I want to share with you and highlight a company that has been giving back to our troops for over a decade and I hope that you can support them in their mission as well.

military awareness month, may, community coffee company, military match, free coffee, coffee, drink, troops, donations,

With more than 2.2 million men and women serving in the U.S. military, approximately 400,000 are stationed abroad in one of the 150 countries U.S. military bases are maintained.  Community Coffee Company has helped American’s across the country send more than 4.2 million cups of coffee to active-duty personnel worldwide for over a decade through their Military Match program.  When customers purchase 4 bats or boxes of Community® coffee online, the company doubles each order, donates a Signature Military Mug and sends them to any APO/FPO address provided.

“The Military Match program gives us an opportunity to boost the morale of those who give the most to our country – the men and women of the U.S. military. While they’re serving, away from their family and friends, we can now offer them a taste of home every day.”
– Matt Saurage, 4th Generation Owner

When I hear about companies that similar acts, it warms my heart.  When my dad was stationed in Vietnam, years before I was born, I’m sure he would have loved a little piece of home to give him comfort and hope.  Honestly, nothing says love and home like a warm cup of joe and Community Coffee Company offers such a great program for a great cause.

While I have to limit the amount of coffee I drink because of my heart and blood pressure, I am a coffee addict and consider myself someone love absolutely loves a great blend.  Community Coffee graciously sent me three different grounds to try:  Breakfast Blend, Cafe Special and Golden Caramel.  The Golden Caramel has been such a delight to my morning coffee routine and the others definitely make a great addition.  Each coffee tastes delicious (I have my eyes on the Creme Brulee next) and I am so glad I was introduced to a brand with strong family roots.

About Community Coffee Company…  

This family business goes back four generations.  The family is passionate about making great-tasting coffee.  In 1919 – Great Grandfather “Cap” Sarage discovered the secret to making their special coffee.  He named it “Community Coffee” out of the appreciation for his community of friends and the customers he served.  With the help of his family, Cap Sarage opened a country store to sell coffee and other groceries to his neighbors.  Four generations later, and the family is still selecting, roasting and perfecting great-tasting blends for coffee lovers everywhere.  From sourcing their beans at coffee farms around the globe, to taste the finished product at their own kitchen table – Community Coffee Company is creating great flavors and grounds for us to drink and enjoy.

It’s companies like Community Coffee Company that help make a soldier or troops time away from home feel a little less lonely.  I’m thankful for Community Coffee Company, their efforts and support but also the fact that they really offer delicious coffee blends for everyone.  To purchase your own coffee grounds or K-Cups, head on over to:  http://www.communitycoffee.com/ Learn more about their Military Match Program and find out how you can take part in this great cause here.

*Pictured above, is my daddy.

Because May is Military Awareness Month, I wanted to take the time to thank all of our troops near and far and those who have fought, served and sacrificed their lives for our country.  You and your service will forever hold a special place in my heart and I’m grateful and thankful for all.

Music feeds my soul and because of this, I carry a pair of ear buds with me no matter where I go.  It’s literally attached to my hip in case I need a little inspiration or need some quiet time and a little relaxation.  Sometimes we don’t think about the convenience of things like headphones or ear buds until we are spending 45 minutes untangling them.  It’s no secret that I’m brutal with many of my belongings and earphones are one of them.  I literally take them off and toss them in my purse only to find them the next day looking like a bad hair day on steroids… it’s traumatic to say the least. Today I bring to you a product that my son Kevin and I have been absolutely loving.  See, he is an earphone extraordinaire as well and you can easily find a pair of earbuds in his pocket on any given day.  Today – we share with you a revolutionary product called – CordCruncher.  These tangle-free earbuds (they also have charging cables) help solve a solution my son and I deal with on a daily basis – tangled head phone cords.

How many of you spend minutes or longer untangling your headphones?  How many of you have headphones that look like mine (pictured above)?  US&M partnered and collaborated with Spice Girl and America’s Got Talent judge, Mel B. for the global launch of CordCruncher, a much needed and most convenient tangle-free earbuds.  Since Mel B. leads an active lifestyle and loves working out, she uses her Cord Cruncher to prevent tangling while she is listening to her music during her workout sessions.  These awesome headphones are available in four different colors so you can pick the one that best fits your personality and style and they offer you the ease of mind – knowing you won’t be spending an hour untangling cords the next time you want to use your earbuds.

There are different types of CordCrunchers available.  The Tangle Free Earbuds with Microphone and the Standard Tangle Free Earbuds are $29.99 and the Mel B Signature Series Tangle Free Earbuds are $39.99.  My son and I both own the Mel B Signature Series in Cobalt Blue and Poppin Pink.

The technology of the CordCruncher is designed and engineered right here in the US.  It’s a patented tangle free cord management system that  has a Tangle Free Sleeve that is made of medical grade natural USA latex rubber.

The earbuds have great features like – well, of course… they NEVER tangle and have patented adjustable bass and drivers making the sound incredible for acoustics of all kinds.  It extends and retracts into the tangle free sleeve 40″ to 16″ and includes 3 pairs of different sized ear tips.  The different sized ear tips are especially important to me because I have sensitive ears and I can adjust the size of the earbud to fit comfortably in my ear.  What makes this so great as well is that you can wrap the CordCruncher around your wrist or neck for storage while on the go… hello, genius.

Using these earbuds is as simple as pulling out the cord to use them and then stretching the latex sleeve over the cord when you are done to store them away.  It’s just a matter of a little finger work and you’re good to go.  I especially love that I can turn up the base with just a little turn of the actual earbud itself, offering great audio with acoustic sound that gets me pumped up and ready to go for a walk and run or workout.  You can extend the cord to 40″ which gives you a lot of length for your convenience, or tuck some of it away for a shorter cord that gives you a little more freedom to move.

“These earbuds are awesome.  I use them in various electronics – my iPad, Samsung Note and to listen to music or watch videos.  They are comfortable to wear and easy to put away.  I just toss them in my backpack and they have never tangled.  It’s a great invention.” – Kevin

These earbuds are seriously a great buy.  Considering the quality and the technology as well as the ease of use, they are an impressive product that I would highly suggest to anyone.  If you are someone like me that uses music to inspire you or watches YouTube videos on the fly and you take music with you on a workout or run, you’ll absolutely LOVE these.

I remember a time when headphones and earbuds were really affordable and that also meant they didn’t last long.  In the time when a set of headphones can cost you upwards of $100 or more, these definitely offer similar quality but the convenience of not only using on the go – but they never tangle.  If you ask me, it’s a WIN.

You can get these earbuds and others products from CordCruncher at: https://www.cordcruncher.com.  If you are tired of tangled headphones and earbuds, I highly suggest you check these babies out, they’re awesome.  They are so good, they made my April Favorites 2016 Video, which you can watch here.  I’m sure you’ll see these pop up in various videos on my channel or in social media because we truly enjoy them.

I want to thank my son Kevin for offering his input and for helping me test out the CordCruncher.

So, have you heard of the CordCruncher earbuds before?  If you have, what are your thoughts on them?  If not, is this is something you think you would get some use out of?

About a month ago I was sitting around in front of the television flipping through channels when I stumbled upon QVC and Mally Roncal had some gorgeous goodies she had been debuting.  Now, I am a huge fan of Mally and I’m not gonna lie, in a matter of seconds I found myself in front of the computer ready to check out.  QVC stated that it had been quite a while since Mally (a makeup artist to the stars and creator, founder and owner of Mally Beauty Cosmetics) had a Today Special Value or TSV on the show, so I knew it was my time to pick it up and get it while it was available.  Today I’m sharing with you this lovely buy – one I’ve had in my possession now for almost a month and testing and playing with.  Since the set is still available on QVC, I figured this would be a great time to share with you.  Mally The Good Life 6-piece Color Collection includes a set of awesome high performance products with new goodies for 4K HD.

So what is this awesome collection?  The Good Life 6 piece Color Collection on QVC includes 6 products that offer high-performance quality to quickly enhance your beauty.  This kit is awesome, especially for busy moms that really want a quick pop of something without putting too much time into their busy days.

Check out the video on my YouTube channel as I show you all the goodies live.

4K Ultra HD Fantasy Foundation is a full coverage, hydrating, moisturizing, anti-aging, HD powder foundation.  Basically – it melts like a cream once you apply it to the skin and literally leaves your skin looking flawless, feeling soft and hydrated for hours.  Formulated to emulsify the minute it touches your skin – with awesome skin loving ingredients like coconut oil.  This foundation is nice and feels great on the skin so I have been loving it.  We all know I rarely use foundation but when I do I need one that will be good to my skin and not leave me feeling funky, oily and yuck.  This foundation feels really nice on and leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft.  This foundation is available in the shades Fair, Light, Medium, Tan or Rich.  I got Tan, but I think that I could have pulled off Medium as well.  This foundation will retail for about $38.00 once it releases.

You also get the Mally Beauty Foundation Brush.  This is a duo-fibre foundation brush that buffs the product into the skin.  It’s soft to the touch, but very dense which allows you to pack on color.  This brush is a little scratchy on me, even after washing, but it could be because my skin is sensitive, but overall I think that it would be a great brush if I didn’t have sensitive skin.  Because this can really pack on the color when using this brush – it can offer full coverage for the foundation included.  Since the foundation shade is a tad bit too dark for me (probably good for summer), I will probably choose another brush for application.  I could not find this brush listed anywhere – but I’m sure it will retail between $40 – $50.  The ferule is well made, sturdy and this is a really nice brush to add to your collection.

The More is More Mascara is a new release as well and coats the lashes for a dramatically dark, lush, “false-lash” look.  This mascara is a tad bit more wet than I would like for a mascara, but I LOVE the effect that it offers me.  It volumizes and lengthens leaving my lashes looking larger than they normally are.  This mascara’s wand it designed to allow you to apply the mascara the traditional way using the mascara wand horizontally and then changing it up to have the wand pointed vertically to help lengthen the lashes.  I do notice length and volume with just one or two coats… even with my small itty bitty lashes.  As we all know, my lashes are oober short, so the fact that they are noticeable and visible says a lot.  This mascara applies easily and I love how soft my lashes feel after application.  It literally feels like you have nothing on.  This mascara is not waterproof and can smudge on me, but I’ve been enjoying it nonetheless.  The mascara will retail for about $20.00 when it is released.

In the photo below I am using one coat on the top and one on the bottom.  If I build up my lashes more, you can definitely see a huge difference.

You also get the Mally Evercolor Shadow Stick Extra in Moonlight (a light champagne shimmery shade) and the Mally Evercolor Shadow Stick Extra in Smoky Quartz (a medium plum – brown shimmery shade).  Both of these are such gorgeous shades and have the same type of formula of the traditional Evercolor Shadow Sticks.  Moonlight is a gorgeous shade to apply to your brow bone and inner corner of your eyes to help brighten up your eyes and give you the look of being awake and the Smoky Quarts is a great shadow stick to apply all over your lid and lower lash line for a touch of sparkle and eye shadow.  The Evercolor Shadow Sticks are smooth and creamy enough to apply to your lids and blend them out, but set nicely for stay all day coverage.  These are perfect for those days that you want to look put together, but don’t have a lot of time to do your makeup.  If you purchase the Evercolor Shadow Sticks on their own – they retail for $25.00 each.

The Performance Lip Shellac in Cherry Blossom is a medium soft focus pinkish-nude shade.  This lip shellac is very pigmented and you get a punch of color in one swipe.  It is such a gorgeous color, but I’m not a fan of the sticky consistency.  I know I’ll get some use out of it, but wish it wasn’t so sticky.  I do know however, that it lasts longer than a traditional gloss because of the sticky texture and it is much more pigmented than a gloss.

This product is not available for sale yet, but should be about $20.00 when it is released.

Along with the collection, you also get a really cute pink and grey makeup bag to carry all your goodies.

In the collection there are products that are brand new and not available for purchase separately till August 1st.  The 4K Ultra HD Fantasy Foundation and More is More Mascara are new launches and not yet available till then.  Each product you get is in full size.  If the products in this set are purchased alone, you are looking at a retail value of about $170.00 and the Mally Good Life 6 Piece Color Collection is currently available on QVC for $62.00 (plus shipping).  When I purchased my set – it was $58.00 on TSV and you can always opt to purchase in 2 easy payments.

Since I’ve had this set now for about a month, I’ve been getting lots of use out of the products included.  When I’m looking for something extra and a little variation in my every day – mascara only – type of look, I pull out this set and add in some of the fun goodies that are included.  Considering the price point of this collection and how much each product is sold separately, I’m really impressed and think the cost of this collection is well worth it.  I highly suggest checking it out and seeing if this set is one for you.  You can purchase this at QVC.com.

Watch the video and get all the details from me.  Click here to watch directly on YouTube.

Have you seen this product set from QVC yet?  If so, is it something that you would be interested in?  If not, is it something you plan to check out?

Juicy Sublime Lips With Cheeky Physique

Let’s face it, when it comes to beauty, everyone is looking for that “quick fix” product or the new trend in beauty.  I’m always looking for products that help enhance my features and I think I found one that I like.  Today I introduce you to Sublime Lips by Cheeky Physique.  A great way to get your pucker noticed with a product that offers fast results and a hydrating, feel-good formula.

sublime lips, cheeky physique, lip plumper, lip gloss, manuka honey, review, beauty, lips, lip gloss plumper, all natural beauty,

This awesome little tube of lip gloss goodness includes Sublime Lips ($25 USD – 0.34 fl.oz / 10 mL), a Manuka Honey Lip Plumper that literally takes your natural pout to the next level with its high impact combo of nourishing Manuka honey and advanced lip plumping ingredients.  You get fast results and a hydrating feel on the lips without the sticky that you would expect from a traditional gloss.

You can use Sublime Lips alone for a natural look or you can top your favorite lip color and add a little vavoom to your lips.  I love using Sublime Lips on its own but find that if I want to take my favorite matte lipsticks to a whole new level, topping them with these lip plumper will give them that little extra something.  When using this product, I find that you instantly get a tingly feeling on the lips – but it’s a cooling sensation vs. a burning sensation like other lip plumpers offer.  As you feel the cooling sensation – the circulation in your lips is gently being increased.  Within a few short minutes the lips will appear fuller and more defined.

This product (while does look a bit pink) is colorless and long lasting.  The formula has a great sweet honey scent, but it not overpowering at all for those who are sensitive to fragrance.  I love that it is not sticky and I can rub my lips together consistently (as I like to do) and it feels comfortable on.

Packaging is simple, but cute.  I love the pink that adorns it and the standard doe foot applicator makes applying the product onto the lips a breeze.  I like to keep my tube in my purse to apply on the go.  Because Sublime Lips is not sticky, it makes the perfect moisturizer for my lips while giving me a natural plump look.

Clinical tests for key ingredient HilurlipTM (a proprietary blend of hyaluronic acid and tripeptide-1) demonstrated the following results:

  • Lips achieved up to a 30% increase in fullness after 30 days. (A 9.2% increase was the average.)
  • 85% of participants noticed a volumizing effect.*
  • 70% experienced anti-aging and rejuvenating effects.*
  • 100% were satisfied with the moisturizing and emollient effects.*

*Self assessment by 20 women after 30 days.

Sublime Lips by Cheeky Physique includes key ingredients like: Manuka Honey (an ingredient that is packed with antioxidants, it’s the ideal ingredient to hydrate, nourish and protect the lips), Hyaluronic Acid (Sublime Lips contains hyaluronic acid microspheres that swell when they come in contact with skin moisture, hydrating and plumping the lips) and Tripeptide-1 (a natural ingredient that supports natural collagen production for visible volume enhancement.  Tripeptide-1 also helps protect skin cells from signs of aging for smoother, younger, sexier-looking lips.)

Since I have naturally full lips, I didn’t think that this product would do much in helping to plump them.  But after the first use of Sublime Lips, I noticed that my lips not only looked juicier but smoother.  And, what I love about this product is that while it has a gloss effect, my husband will still kiss me because it doesn’t feel sticky like a traditional gloss.  It has a little bit of tack to it – but overall feels like a lip oil with a little more body.

Above are my lips taken before applying Sublime Lips.  My lips have been exfoliated but do not have any lip balm on them.  This image was taken with my phone and has been cropped, but not edited.  You can see the fine lines in my lips and lack of definition.  I might also add that this photograph was taken right before applying sublime lips and first thing in the morning after my morning skin care routine.

Above are my lips after applying Sublime Lips.  My lips have had the product on for about 30 seconds and the tingling and cooling (while I can still feel them) are not as prominent.   Not only do my lips look glossy, but they look and feel hydrated, have increased in volume some what and look moisturized.  The lip line where my cupid’s bow is has plumped up some and doesn’t look as dark – leaving my lips looking smooth and juicy.

While the tingling does go away (and again, it is not that strong), I find that you still have a slight mint like feel to the lips until you remove the product.  With eating or drinking, Sublime Lips will come off but reapplying the product is not difficult and it doesn’t leave your lips feeling sticky or weird when the product is removed.  I absolutely love that this plumper includes Hyaluronic Acid, as it is a product I use daily on my skin and I can totally feel and notice the difference with this additive in Sublime Lips.

Have you tried anything from Cheeky Physique before or have you heard of the brand?  What about Sublime Lips?  When it comes to lip plumpers, I’m very particular and tend to not use them because I don’t like that they can burn, but I was very impressed with Sublime Lips.  Do you think this is something you could check out for yourself?  If you are interested in purchasing Sublime Lips or other products from Cheeky Physique you can visit their site here.
