So excited guys! Not only will I be reviewing a Diva Cup for you, but my dog will be helping test out ALL the flavors that Green Bark Gummies has cooked up! Oh, and the new Gillette Venus Sensitive Razors. We are both ready! Bring on the reviews! Thanks Diva Cup, Gillette, and Green Bark Gummies for this opportunity!
And the next review is Seventh Generation Mandarin Orange and Grapefruit Hand Wash. I received this product from a lovely site called Smiley 360. They are awesome. Again you set yourself up an account, answer some questions about yourself, and then they send you missions you qualify for. These mission translate into free products, and all you have to do is give them a review! Awesome huh? Check them out if you want! https://smiley.socialmedialink.com/ I loved this product from the moment I heard about it. It's all natural, hypoallergenic, and organic. Plus the scent sounded amazing! I was so excited to receive it I was checking my mail everyday. When it finally came I was tearing the box open like a mad woman! Anyway, let's actually talk about the product. The first thing I did was smell it. It is a lovely fresh scent, and while it doesn't exactly remind me of Mandarin Oranges, it does have a strong citrus scent. One thing I love about this scent is the fact that it is invigorating. It's like a slap to the senses! I simply love it, and it give you a nice little boost in the morning when your trying to wake the heck up! However, my favorite thing about the scent is that it lasts! It stays around for quite some time. I was smelling my hands over and over for the first day. People were looking at me like I was crazy! Now I have to tell you my absolute favorite thing about the product as a whole. It DOESN'T dry out your skin! I don't know how it does it. I mean it cleans just about anything off your skin, gum, grease, etc., but it doesn't leave your hands feeling dry and tight. I know it's got aloe in it, but man, that aloe must be kicking some serious butt! If you read my review on Verita Argan Oil, you know I have some serious issues when it comes to dry skin. Thank goodness I don't have to skip the hand soap to prevent dryness anymore! Another awesome perk to this product is the fact that it is hypoallergenic. I know I said that already, but I feel like I should explain why it's so important to me. Aside for having dry skin, I also have sensitive skin, and some serious allergies. I can't wear most metals, I have to buy specific brands of laundry detergent, dish soap, and even lotion. It's a real bummer, but you get used to it. The biggest problem is my daughter developed the same problem. Oh boy! Now 2 of us have to have specific brands, and they are often different brands. The one I can use, she can't, and the one she can use, I can't. Thank goodness my son is like his father and can use nearly anything. Awesomely enough this product is great for both of us! Woo hoo! We finally found a hand soap that works for everyone! That alone make this product worth the money for me! The last thing I have to say about this product is that the pump dispenser makes this product even more awesome. It's easy to use, doesn't clog, and doesn't drip afterwards. Yay! That makes my job cleaning up the bathroom so much easier. Everyone knows how hard it is to clean up that crusted on hand soap that dripped onto the counter. First it doesn't want to go anywhere, then it wants to go everywhere! The soap is all over the place and now you have to use 10 paper towels to clean it up. What a waste! Thank goodness you don't have to worry about that with this product. Plus, the fact that it's a pump means my kids are much more likely to use it. They are 8 and 7, and most of the time that means they are to busy to worry about clean hands! Overall I recommend this product to anyone, not just those with sensitive skin. It's strong enough to cut through grease, gentle enough to moisturize your hands, easy to use with the pump, and has a wonderful, invigorating scent. I hope all of my readers give this product a try! Just to be clear, I received this product for free in exchange for a review from Smiley 360. I'm in no way required to love, or endorse this product. This is my real, honest opinion. Where Can You Get Some? Seventh Generation Mandarin Burst and Grapefruit Hand Wash can be purchased in stores like Walgreens and online. Their website is amazing. It will help you find local stores where you can purchase their stuff, and inform you of all their other wonderful products. Check it out at http://www.seventhgeneration.com/.

The next product I'm going to talk about is Verita's Argan Oil. I did not receive this product from a review website. I received a sample directly from Verita. While I loved it, I could not review all of it's possible benefits since it was only a small sample. However, I think I've seen enough to give you guys some information. Like I said above I received a sample of this awesome product straight from Verita's Facebook page (keep an eye out, they give out samples every so often). I was a bit disappointed when I first opened the package because it was so small, but who can complain; it's free! It turned out to be the best sample I've received yet! As you can see from the above picture, the sample was just a small little vial of the product. I looked at it and though "Geez, I'm going to use this up in one shot." However I was pleasantly surprised. I started reading the enclosed information and decided to go ahead and give it a try. Now the info that came with it says that you can use the oil on your face, hands, scalp, hair, and body. I was most intrigued by the fact that the info claimed it could get rid of bags and dark circles under your eyes. I thought, let give that a try first. I used a single drop per eye and spread it on both the upper and lower lid. Immediately I felt a difference. It was like I just gave my eyes a dose of caffeine! They felt open, bright, and far from heavy and tired like they had before I applied the Argan Oil. The photo below is after I had used it for a few days. No more dark circles and bags! After being simply amazed at the fact that this was achieved by 1 drop of this Argan Oil a day, I decided to try it on my terribly dry hands. Again I was simply amazed! Normally lotion just sucks right into my skin and it ends up drier than before I put it on, but not with this stuff. Now your probably thinking "Yeah, it's not dry because it's greasy from the oil. I mean it is oil!" But that's just not the case. My hands were beautifully moisturized, NOT greasy, not peeling, and felt amazing. I couldn't believe it! I mean my hands get so dry that I can't stand to touch, or be touched. This Argan Oil fixed it in 5 seconds flat with 2 drops of the stuff! Amazing! They were so soft, and the effect lasted! I didn't have to put more on until the next day! No more flaking, peeling, and avoiding various objects for me! Unfortunately my review must end here for this product. I simply don't have the money to buy the full product, and my sample has run out. Now I fully believe that this product will do everything it says it will, and more. It says you can put it in your scalp to help stop dandruff, put it on split ends to help repair them, and apply it all over your body to have all over moisture. Anyone who has similar problems should give this product a try. I guarantee you'll love it! Plus, they have some awesome ethics! Read up on them here http://veritaskin.com/pages/our-philosophy and here http://veritaskin.com/pages/about-us. Trust me, its worth the read. Just to be clear, I received this product as a free sample from Verita Skin. I'm in no way required to love, or endorse this product. This is my real, honest opinion. Where Can You Get Some? If you want to purchase Verita Argan Oil, or any of their various products (including stuff for men) then head on over to http://veritaskin.com/. I also think you should check out their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/VeritabyAmanda. They give out samples, and post giveaways, so it's worth your time. This product may be a bit pricey, but it's totally worth it. It does exactly what it says it will, and even a small bottle will last quite some time. Once again, thanks for reading! Love you guys!
And for review number 2..dun dun dunn...Green Bark Gummies! I received these for review from an awesome site called Swaggable! Check it out guys! They send you products completely free, and all you have to do is sign up, answer some questions, write a review when you get a product, and share it with your friends. Awesome right? Sign up at http://swaggable.com/! Anyways, on to the review. To be honest, I didn't expect much from these dog treats. My dog doesn't usually like "natural" products, and I can't blame her. They usually smell, look, and feel funny. I can't imagine they taste any better. I wasn't excited for this product review at all, and thought I might have to give my first bad review. However, things changed quickly. Well, they finally arrived (took like 2 weeks) and I took them out of the package. I looked them over (good sized sample package, what I would have received if I actually bought them) and was sad to see they looked just like other "natural" products. They were these weird, dark green, semi-hard, bear shaped dog treats; I was not impressed. I figured, "oh here we go. Roxy's going to hate these." However, she was anxiously sniffing the bag, and seemed very interested. So I gave her one. To my surprise she gobbled it up and immediately started begging for another! She loved it! I gave her a couple more and her interest didn't fade. I tried them on my Dad's dog too (she'll eat anything though) and she loved them too! I figured it was time for me to do some more research into these treats now. My dog loved them, so let's see how "natural" these things really are. The first thing I checked was the ingredient list. White fish was the first thing listed! Let me give you a quick run down of some of the ingredients: white fish, dried ground peas, dried ground potatoes, spray dried pork broth, fish oil, dried ground chia seeds (yes those things you used to grow on Garfield), egg whites, natural chicken flavor, dried ground kelp, dried green tea extract, and garlic powder. *This isn't a comprehensive ingredient list; there are other ingredients too.* All of these ingredients are real! I couldn't believe that I was holding a healthy, natural dog treat that my picky dog actually liked! Green Bark Gummies also provide: crude protein at 16%, crude fat at 6%, fiber at 2%, moisture at 28%, and 32mg of Omega-3 Fatty Acids. These nutrients are super good for your pooch, and will help make their skin and coat healthy and shiny; just like they advertise. Alright, so they have natural ingredients, good nutritional value, and my dog loves them, but can I afford to buy them for her? Well, I looked around the web and found that the average price is $9.99 for a bag of 60 treats. Now, the downside is that they recommend you give your dog 2 treats per every 10lbs your dog weighs. For me that means 12 treats a day! That means a $10 bag of treats is only going to last about 5 days. It's not a terrible price considering they are natural (most natural treats are way more expensive), but its not great either. And for the next test, fresh doggie breath! Not only did Green Bark Gummies promise to help give my pup healthy skin and a shiny coat, but it also promised to freshen her breath. Well what better way to test that then some sloppy doggie kisses! Boy was I surprised! Normally my baby girl's breath is somewhere between tuna fish and poo, but not after eating these treats! They didn't make her breath minty fresh or anything, but it did get rid of the offensive odors. Yay for that! Now I can feel free to get some doggie kisses any time; without having to worry about my stomach turning. All in all, I do recommend this product for any dog owner who would like to feed their dog natural treats. They have natural ingredients, good nutritional content, they freshen the dogs breath immediately, and my picky dog loved them. They are easy to carry, and don't make a mess, so they would be great for training purposes. They are an all around good product that every pet owner should try! Just to be clear I received this product for free in exchange for a review from Swaggable. I'm in no way required to love, or endorse this product. This is my real, honest opinion.

So for my first product review....drumroll please....Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel! I got this sample from the awesome Crowdtap. If you don't know about Crowdtap, its a place where you answer various questions and complete missions. These missions give you points which enter you into monthly drawings for gift cards. Plus, you can enter into sample sharing missions and you might get a product like Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel. Sign up for Crowdtap at crowdtap.com! But enough about Crowdtap, let's move on to the actual product! This shave gel was simply amazing! The smell is wonderful, but it really doesn't smell like Mandarin Oranges. Honestly it smells much more like pears, but I still love it! The smell is super refreshing, and gives your senses a nice little pick me up. And oh my the lather! It lathers so nicely! It comes out as a nice pink gel, and turns into a thick, rich lather with a little bit of rubbing. It spreads so nicely, and it stays in place. You know how some shave creams/gels just slide right off after you put them on? Then you've got more shave gel on the shower floor than you have on your legs. It's ridiculous, and incredibly messy. This Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel stays in place the whole time, even while your shaving. It doesn't run, doesn't make a mess, and makes it easy for you to tell where you've already been. My favorite thing about this shave gel has to be the fact that it really does moisturize your skin. Does anyone else love that feeling of your pajama pants sliding over your freshly shaved legs? You know, that smooth, silky feeling? I don't know, its kinda hard to describe, but I'm sure everyone out there who shaves their legs knows exactly what I mean. Well, this shave gel really brings that silky smooth feeling out of our skin. After I used it for the first time I couldn't stop rubbing my hands over them, and making my fiance do the same."Oh, Brian come see how nice my legs feel." Goodness, he must have been so tired of that by the end of the night. Oh well, I suppose that's the hazard of having a girlfriend! In addition to the above paragraph about moisturization, I love the way this shave gel made my tattoo pop! I'll share a picture, but I must admit it's not a great one. See!?! My camera sucks! I'm working on getting a new one, but I'm broke! I'm sure everyone else out there knows what I'm talking about! Maybe I can post some new pics when I finally get a new camera. Well, to wrap up my report on Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel I'm going to talk about price. I already said I was broke right? Well I guess you can tell from that statement that I can't exactly afford to go out and spend tons of money on overpriced beauty products that DON"T WORK! That's one thing I don't have to worry about with this shave gel, in fact I don't have to worry about it with any Skintimate product. They smell good, lather well, stay in place, and moisturize your skin quite a bit. Plus, they run from $3 to $5 a can (depending upon the store you went to). What more could you want? Anyway, don't let my opinion swing you. If you have a shaving product your happy with stick with it. However, if your looking for one that does everything I have talked about above then Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel is right for you! Thanks for reading and having patience with my new site. Love you guys! Just to be clear I received this product for free in exchange for a review from Crowdtap. I'm in no way required to love, or endorse this product. This is my real, honest opinion. Where Can You Get Some? You can purchase Skintimate products at most stores. Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Target, Kmart, and so on. Check them out on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Skintimate!
