NouveauOrganica is a Truly Organic Face Moisturizer


Ingredients: Organic Shea Butter, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Argan Oil, Organic Evening Primrose Oil, Organic Rosehip Oil, Organic Calendula Extract, Organic Clary Sage Oil, Organic Ylang Ylang Oil, Organic Frankincense Oil, Organic Geranium Oil. Product comes in a jar that allows it to be easily dispensed. There is no animal testing and it is made in the USA. Product remains fresh for 6 months after opening.

The Product: This product is a solid oil with a light scent. Only a very small amount is needed. If the oil is too firm it can be warmed in the hands until it is more liquid. I applied the oil to my face, chin and neck. It is very easy to blend and gently slides across my skin. One issue is that the oil took a long time to absorb into my skin. I would not be able to use this oil during the day under makeup. Once absorbed my skin felt soft and smooth. It remained hydrated even after cleansing. It is wonderful that this product is 100% USDA certified as Organic. Overall I liked this product as part of my nightly skin care. I applied it last over my facial serum, allowing it time to be fully absorbed prior to sleep.

BriaUSA Green Kids Hangers Are Perfect for the Little Ones


I love BriaUSA hangers and these are no exception. These kids sized hangers are sturdy and strong. While they are plastic, it is not those thin, wobbly kind of hangers. They fit kids clothes perfectly. One of the great thing about these hangers is that they are slim, so they actually free up room in the closet by sliding together much more closely than wire or cheap hangers that often bulge or bend. Also, the hook can be swiveled to hang parallel and perpendicular to the hanger itself. The small notch on the shoulders helps to keep the clothes on the hook. I am a designer and maker of adult and child art fiber clothes. Since most are made of yarn they have a tendency to slide right off a hanger. With the BriaUSA hangers they stay put and look great. I also love the light green of these hangers making them appropriate for both boys and girls. Here are some pictures to show how great these hangers are with my creations:

Mighty Plugs are Just Fine


Earplugs, I've tried them all. The hard moldable silicone, the ear planes, soft foam both straight and angled, tri-flange, and softer moldable silicone. And then there are Mighty Plugs. I wear earplugs every night, all night long. The ear planes just plain hurt, the silicone plugs get uncomfortable the longer I wear them and they tend to fall out, disappearing into that black hole where single socks and earplugs go, never to be seen again. The foam earplugs don't even stay in 30 seconds before they return to the original size as they fall out. My issue seems to be that I have narrow ear canals and they are different sizes, with my right side needing a larger ear plug than my left. I had been suffering with the softer silicone plugs until I got the chance to review these ear plugs. The Mighty Plug is not silicone, but made from beeswax, lanolin, cotton, corn starch and grapefruit seed extract. Once you start molding them they get softer. I am able to use just 1 earplug which I split approximately 60/40 so they fit in my ear canals. I was amazed. They stayed soft, I could hardly tell I had them in. The best part is that they blocked 97% of the sound and I was able to sleep so much better. I have been using them nightly for 3 weeks and they are just as effective as the day I received them. If they start to fall out I will wash them with gentle soap and water and see if that brings them back to life. I really like these earplugs and, while your experience may not be exactly like mine, I do recommend them as the most gentle, easy to size, and really sound blocking of any earplug I have ever found.

The Rayburn Fishing. LED Cap Light is Great For Crafting, DIY and More (including fishing)


While I understand that this light can be used very effectively for night fishing, camping and hiking, I've found that it is just perfect for night time crafting. When my family is all asleep, I can slip on my visor, slide on this hat light and go to town. It provides excellent brightness with minimal spread, so the light won't wake anyone up. It is bright enough for me to do beading, crocheting and other fine work. The light slides easily onto the brim of a cap or visor. The light is oriented to be under the brim to further reduce side brightness. The switch is located under the lights themselves, making it easy to switch on and off. If a wider light spread is needed the light can be placed on the top of the cap/visor brim. This light is also great for home improvement use, such as working under the sink or in other low light areas when doing repairs or construction. It is bright enough to read a book, look at DIY plans, or read the text on repair parts and supplies. The light is very lightweight, you don't even notice it is there. I appreciate products that help me do more. I recommend this light for a variety of uses and for the ease and comfort of usage.

Tayère Therapeutics Knee Support Sleeve: Tourmaline Far Infrared (FIR) Series Provides Comfort and Support


I have bad knees, both of them are unstable and painful. I've used so many support sleeves and products on them to even just let me keep walking. The neoprene sleeves become uncomfortable and sweat, the velcroed support sleeves only help for a short while and often start falling down my leg and become painful. The thin sleeves don't support the knee at all. However, the Tayère Therapeutics Knee Support Sleeve: Tourmaline Far Infrared (FIR) Series is literally the best sleeve I've ever used. It slides on easily and stays in place. It is comfortable enough for all day wear. It doesn't hurt, make my knees over-heated or over-compress my thighs. While it is a one size fits most, people should pay attention to the measurements on the website. It is perfect for me, however, for people with very thin legs and knees and for those with very large legs and knees it might not work as well. I really feel the gentle support, my knees hurt less and they don't feel like they are twisting. The support allows me to move more, walk further, and even stand for longer periods of time. I don't really know what to say about the tourmaline component as I'm not sure exactly what it does. All I know is that this sleeve works for me for whatever reason. While I can't guarantee that it will work for you as it did for me, I strongly recommend it as an aid for painful, wobbly knees.

BriaUSA Shirt/Dress Black Velvet Hangers Keeps Clothes Straight and Perfect


I love these hangers. I was frustrated with so many of my good clothes just sliding off my hangers and ending up as puddles on my closet floor. And not just puddles, but wrinkled and dusty puddles. So, I tried the BrisUSA velvet hangers. My problem was totally solved. The soft velvet coating keeps all my blouses and dresses on the hangers and perfectly in place. Even my slipperiest items will not fall off these hangers. The small notch in the top of the hanger is perfect for straps or the plastic hanging strings found on many shirts, blouses and dresses. They are well made and don't buckle or sag even under the weight of my heaviest jackets. The velvet coating does not shed, discolor or transfer onto my clothes. It is also nice that the hook is movable so I can have it facing one way in my closet and the other way to hang from a door when I'm mixing and matching. I've thrown out all my other hangers, so many of them were mismatched, curvy, or thick and the hanger took up more room than the actual clothes themselves. Additionally, the BriaUSA hangers are flat and hang much more closely together, allowing me to have additional room in my closet. Using these hangers gives a polished look to my closet and lets me find specific tops quickly. This is a sturdy, high quality product that has revolutionized my closet. I definitely recommend these hangers to keep your clothes straight and secure.

You can purchase these hangers on Amazon.com.

Titan Elite Quarter High Basketball Socks Feature Support and Comfort


I recently had the opportunity to use the Titan Elite Quarter High Basketball Socks. Do I play a lot of basketball? Well, no, but I do need socks that fit well, offer some support and stay comfortable. The Titan Elite Quarter High socks fit the bill. They are strong and stretchy. They also offer support and some compression. And they increase my stability while walking. My feet stay dry and relaxed in these socks. The socks do not slip, pull or slide around my foot or in my shoes. I really appreciate the knit of the socks as it cushions my foot. These are not some flimsy socks that wear out in a month or two. I believe these socks will last a long time and retain their shape and comfort. The quarter height allows me to wear these socks when it is warmer and I found that my feet do not seem to sweat in my shoes. So, for those who play basketball and even for those who do not, I recommend these socks.

You can purchase them on Amazon.com.

Lift Care Essential Oils 5X Lemon Oil is Strong, Fruity and Fabulous


The Lift Care 5X Lemon Essential Oil is made from 100% pure cold extracted lemon rinds. I believe that this process produces a much fruitier fragrance than other lemon oils. It does not have that strong lemon cleaner scent of some other lemon oils. Additionally, since it is a stronger oil you can use less to get the same or better results. It is very cost effective. This Lemon Oil comes in a 4 oz. amber glass bottle with eyedropper. It is a product of Italy and distributed by a USA supplier, Lift Care. I used this lemon oil throughout my house, as well as in health and beauty products. It produces a fresh, clean scent when mixed with vinegar, water or other cleaning ingredients and works well on all hard surfaces. I also use this Lemon Oil on my solid wood furniture to give a glossy shine, rehydrate the wood and leave the whole room lightly scented. One of my favorite uses is to add a few drops to my garbage disposal before running it. Not only does it keep the disposable blades clean, it also removes nasty odors and again, scents my kitchen with lemony freshness. As with many essential oils, I find mixing it with a carrier, such as fractionated coconut oil, jojoba oil or shea butter reduces the chance of any skin sensitivity to the pure oil. I place a few drops in my shampoo, conditioner, face creams and hand and body lotions. It lifts my spirits when I catch the scent. It also seems to add to the cleaning power of my shampoo and helps both the shampoo and conditioner clean better, removing the build-up of hair products. While it doesn't change my hair color, it does seem to bring out the blond highlights in my hair. I really enjoyed using this Lemon Oil. It is definitely one of the best I have tried. One caution is that you should not go in the sun immediately after using the oil, as it can make the skin more sensitive to burning. Let it absorb, then use sunscreen. Once it is all absorbed you should be able to go out. There are many more uses for lemon oil and I plan to try this great product for more of them.

PillowEase Support Seat Cushion Eases the Pain


Pain from a broken coccyx is no joke. It is actually pretty easy to break your coccyx/tailbone. Any sudden fall on your butt can cause it. Often, because your body moves so much during the day, the coccyx never heals properly, so the pain continues. The PillowEase Support Seat Cushion definitely reduces the pain while sitting and even after getting up. This type of cushion seeks to reduce/eliminate pain by allowing a person to sit, but not be sitting on their coccyx. It is a horseshoe shape with the empty area being placed at the back of the chair. The tailbone/coccyx area then is over this empty area. This takes all pressure off this area. I have had a significant reduction in pain and I'm no longer feeling the bone move even when I sit in a different chair or couch. When using this cushion there are several very important changes to make. In a desk chair, the chair should be lowered by about 2 inches, so that the hips to knees are at a right angle to the calves to feet. This increases the comfort and support of the cushion. Also, in all cases, this cushion should not be used alone on any chair or couch that has slippery fabric. It is simple and easy to just put a cotton towel down on the slippery material and then put the cushion on top of the towel to keep the cushion from sliding. Persons with broader hips should take measurements to make sure your hips will fit on this cushion without much overlap. The cushion is very portable. It comes with an additional cover, so the first cover can be removed, washed and ready for the next change of cover. While your results may not be exactly like mine, I definitely recommend this cushion for your coccyx pain.

You can purchase this cushion from Amazon.com.

goPure Naturals Rosehip Oil has a variety of beauty uses for skin, hair and nails


Certified organic Rosehip Oil by gopure naturals comes in a 4 oz. amber glass bottle with an eyedropper. The golden liquid is protected from oxidation or contamination by pollutants. It is cruelty free. The Rosehip Oil comes from Chile and is bottled in the USA. To apply I simply place a few drops on my fingertips and gently pat onto my face. I have also used a cotton ball and a folded piece of tissue. It really helps hydrate my skin and ease any tightness due to dryness. I have also used it on scratches to fade their appearance after healing. In my shampoo and conditioner I've added 1 dropperful. This really hydrates and softens my hair and leaves it more manageable. I am impressed with how well it absorbs. It is not greasy or oily on the skin or hair. It has a very minimal scent. It also decreases the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles. Of course it has other benefits. It can reduce the appearance of stretch marks and acne scarring, reduce redness and other skin discoloration, improve sun spots, and moisturize nails and cuticles. This essential oil can be used full strength or can be added to lotions, creams, serums and hair products. I used it for all these uses and can say that this particular product works well without any other chemicals or strong scents. It even retains it's benefits after cleansing, keeping my skin soft, smooth and dewy. While your results may not be exactly like mine, I do recommend this product to improve skin, nail and hair appearance and texture.

LaLune Naturals Lemon Essential Oil is Pure, Natural and Refreshing


LaLune Naturals Lemon Essential Oil is 100% cold-pressed, therapeutic grade Lemon Essential Oil (Citrus Limonum). It comes in an amber glass bottle with eye-dropper. This protects it from oxidation and contamination from pollutants. It is Vegan and Cruelty Free. It remains fresh for 12 months after opening. Because this is a concentrated essential oil it is important to always dilute it, either with a carrier oil, such as fractionated coconut oil, or by blends 1 or 2 drops in another product such as a face cream or shampoo. Some people may be sensitive to Lemon Oil. In that case it should not be used or be used only 1 drop at a time in a large volume of a carrier product.

There are many uses for lemon essential oil. One of my favorites is to put a few drops into my garbage disposal before I run it. This leaves the whole kitchen smelling sweet and fresh. I also put several drops into my shampoo and conditioner. When used on the skin in a carrier, you should wait until it's fully absorbed before going out into the sun, as it can increase the likelihood of sunburn. It is wonderfully refreshing, energizing and also calming aromatically. Mixed with lotion it can be great as a massage lotion and also helps with headaches, opening the sinuses, and uplifting the senses. Not only does it impart a light lemony scent but it helps to show off blondish highlights in my hair. I also use a very few drops in my laundry to freshen clothes, especially smelly socks, sheets and towels. I primarily use a vinegar cleaner in my kitchen for counters, sinks and floors. Adding a dropperful of lemon oil to a quart of vinegar and water cleaner not only decreases the vinegar scent, but it also assists in the cleaning process. Lemon oil is a natural antiseptic and disinfectant. You can also add lemon oil to your diffuser to remove odors and to provide a fresh, clean scent to each room. This is high quality lemon oil, concentrated and natural. Only a small amount is needed in all it's many uses for the home, health, and spirit. I would definitely recommend LaLune Naturals Lemon Essential Oil as it worked well for me in the laundry, removing odors, cleaning counters, floors, and furniture, and energizing my body. Do use caution to keep this out of the reach of children, do not use during pregnancy, and avoid using near the eyes.

Radha Tea Tree Oil Has Great Purity and Is So Useful


Radha Tea Tree Oil is 100% Pure Melaleuca Alternifolia Tea Tree Oil that is steam distilled. It comes in a blue glass bottle with an eye dropper. This helps protect the tea tree oil from oxidation and pollution from the environment. It originates in Australia and is bottled in the USA. It is not tested on animals. The tea tree oil remains fresh for 6 months after opening, The smell is strong, but clean. I first tried it mixed in my home cleaning solution, as I know it has disinfecting properties. It seemed to boost the power of my cleaner and left a fresh, light scent. I also added approximately 1 drop per 1 ml of shampoo. I was concerned about the smell remaining on my hair, but knew as soon as I rinsed it that would not be a problem. The shampoo performed better than it had without the Tea Tree oil. It left my hair soft, shiny and looking very healthy. I also combined the Tea Tree oil with some lemon essential oil to help scent my home with freshness. I know now that I will only use 100% Tea Tree oil and this brand as it is so much better than so many others that add fillers, preservatives, or chemicals. It only takes a few drops (not full ounces) to improve cleaning, freshening, and deodorizing, so this bottle will last a long time. Just make sure you get the real thing and not something that is not 100% Pure Tea Tree oil, better bang for your buck and better for you and your environment.

It can be purchased online at Amazon.com, where you will also see my 5 Star review.
