Sleep Number DualTemp Layer

I got a chance to test out how this product works. It is basically a topper for the mattress, about 1 inch thick. A machine by the side of the bed can be set to regulate temperatures on both sides of the bed. Each side can have a different temperature. Then the product blows cool or hotter air based on how it was set. There is minimal noise and no discomfort, although it might take a few nights to get used to. The cost for our king sized bed would be $1900, which I think is a lot considering the whole bed, with included mattress and under drawers cost less than $1500. Check one out for yourself at your nearest Sleep Number Store. I am getting a pillow in return for my honest review of this product.

Culinary Teas Good Mood Tea Adds Cacao Nibs for Flavor and Mood


The Culinary Teas Good Mood tea starts with a strong black tea. They add orange peels, mate, lemongrass and cacao nibs all designed to improve the mood. This tea tastes strongly of the black tea. I always add sugar to my tea, so I found I needed to add a bit more sugar for this one. There is a lingering aftertaste of dark chocolate and lemongrass. It was energizing and definitely helped me to wake up. I made this with my French press mug and found I needed to use more than 1 teaspoon as the mug is about 11 oz. This is a good sized leaf tea, which I prefer to a finely ground tea. It worked perfectly in my press. You can also use an infuser or mesh tea holder. I do recommend this tea for people who want an invigorating tea with flavor.

FutureSoundLab FSL Xylem In Ear Monitors Offer Style and Substance


The FSL Xylem In Ear Monitors are constructed of beautiful and sustainable wood. The wood seems to conduct the sound better than plastic or metal earbuds. I noticed that the sound clarity was excellent, with warm, rich tones, especially the bass resonance. There is an inline remote control and microphone that allows you to use these earbuds with most phones and music players. They also have lifetime customer support and a 3 year warranty. I was very impressed at how well these worked attached to my computer. They functioned even better than my high end cup-type headphones and they were certainly more comfortable. They come with some alternate sized earpads so that you could have the sizes that work for your ears. Oddly, I need to use 2 different sizes, one ear canal is larger, so I am glad to have the ability to adjust them perfectly. These earbuds work well at noise cancelling. Overall, I definitely recommend the FSL Xylem In Ear Monitors for great sound with style.

You can purchase these Wood In Ear Monitors on Amazon.com.

Centrum® MultiGummies Multivitamins are a great alternative to tablets and capsules and provide the vitamins you need

I began taking the Centrum Gummies as soon as they arrived. I quickly learned to take 2 of the same type, rather than just any old 2 of them for my daily dosage. This keeps the flavors the same. The orange ones are a bit tart or bitter. But I actually love taking these Gummies. I am not a chocolate fan, but I do love gummy candy of all types. So to me, taking these Centrum Gummies is like taking candy in the morning. It is really a treat. It also goes down well and I have no reaction to them. I definitely recommend the Centrum Gummies for your daily vitamin dosage.

I did receive these Centrum Gummies for free in return for my honest feedback, however, I only recommend products I think will benefit my readers.

Federico's Microfiber Wash Mitt Has Many Uses


This 2 pack, bright orange, microfiber wash mitt is perfect for washing and drying your car, but it also has many more uses. Since it is a 2 pack, you can put one mitt on each hand and use both arms to wash or dry off your car. This mitt really soaks up the water. I thought I would also try it in my bathtub. I had a small sponge to wipe down the caulk line around my tub after showering. I decided to give Federico's a try. This mitt not only soaked up the water quickly but also helped to dry the tub and it did not even seem to be saturated after I was done. I hang it at the back of my shower and it is totally dry with in 12 hours. It is very soft and will not mar any surfaces. I'm glad to have found a microfiber mitt that really does what microfiber is all about, quick water absorption, quick drying, soft and easy to use. When it gets dirty it can be thrown into the washer at low heat with other microfiber products or items that are the same color, with no bleach or fabric softener. It can be air dried. I definitely recommend this product for your car, your bath, or anything else where you need soft and quick absorption.

Radha Beauty Frankincense Oil Is For Aromatherapy and More

The Radha Beauty Frankincense Oil comes in a blue glass bottle with an eye-dropper. This allows you to only use a small amount and protects the product from oxidation from sunlight. The oil is steam distilled in India and bottled in the USA. This is pure oil, with no other added ingredients. It is never tested on animals. This oil gives a sense of calm and reduced anxiety when inhaled. It is perfect for aromatherapy with a diffuser or light ring. It is an essential oil, so it is good to use with a carrier oil, lotion or cream. Only a small amount is needed to obtain the health benefits. I had never used Frankincense Oil before and I did some research to guide my use of this oil. I added a few drops, no more than 6 drops per oz. is recommended, to my favorite night cream. It blended easily and I could smell it even though I used such a small amount. The scent is woodsy, and reminded me of being in the Redwood Forest in California. This really helped me to relax after I applied my face cream. I also added about 12 drops per oz. to my shampoo and conditioner. With product that can be washed off, such as soap, shampoo or conditioner, you can add an increased amount. It left my hair with a slight, refreshing fragrance. I also made a lightweight toner using witch hazel and 6 drops per oz. in a bottle. Because this is an oil, it does require shaking before each use as the oil stays on the top of the witch hazel. There are many other uses for this oil, both for aroma and health. I have used several products from Radha Beauty and this Frankincense Oil is another quality product. I definitely recommend this oil for your use and suggest you google to find the uses that are specific to you. A little goes a long way.

Syono Gel Insoles Offer Cushioning and Comfort


When I received the Syono Gel Insoles I thought I had ordered the wrong size. They looked huge. But when I held them up to my feet and then tested them in shoes only a small amount needed to be cut off to fit the shoes perfectly. These gel insoles are soft and provide even better cushioning than the insoles that were already in the shoes. It reduces the wear and tear on the ball of the foot and helps the arch of the foot feel more supported. And my cat agrees. Having gel insoles help extend the life of the shoe, even when the shoes get somewhat worn out. Also, using these insoles provide greater impact resistance and all day comfort, whether walking or running. I do recommend these gel insoles to help your feet feel better every day.

CSCS Advanced Face Serum Hyaluronic Acid is Pure Hydration for Your Skin


The thing I like most about the CSCS Advanced Face Serum Hyaluronic Acid is that it has only 3 ingredients: Deionized Water, Sodium Hyaluronate, and a preservative. It has no other additives, no parabens, sulfates, fragrances, dyes, petrochemicals, phthalates or GMOs. So many other hyaluronic acid face creams, serums, or liquids add in many other ingredients, each of which may react with a person's individual skin. The CSCS serum comes in a blue glass bottle with eye dropper. This reduces contamination and prevents oxidation. It is not tested on animals. It is made in the USA. The product stays fresh for 12 months after opening.

I use this product morning and night. It is a liquidy serum that spreads very easily. It has absolutely no fragrance, which is another thing I love as this will not interfere with any other perfume or fragrance I might use. Also, this product goes a long way. I use 3 drops for my face with an additional 1-2 drops for my chin and neck. It is fully absorbed within 5 minutes. Once it is absorbed I can apply makeup or other moisturizers. After application my skin immediately looks and feels smoother and softer. The pores appear reduced and it has hydrated my skin so fine lines are not as apparent. Even after cleansing my skin remains soft and smooth. Continued use keeps my skin looking and feeling it's best and my skin appears younger, fresher and brighter. While your results may not be identical to mine, I definitely recommend this brand of Hyaluronic Acid Serum for your daily care of your skin.

Regenepure Nourishing Treatment (NT) Shampoo Leaves Hair Clean and Soft

The Regenepure Nourishing Treatment (NT) Shampoo, by Salonceuticals comes in a white plastic bottle with open and close pour cap. This product contains no sulfates, no parabens and has not been tested on animals. It is made in the USA. I have used other shampoos with no sulfates or parabens and most of them did not produce a lather and left the hair feeling not quite cleans. The Regenepure NT Shampoo starts with a fresh clean scent. Using only a capful for my chin length hair it immediately started cleaning and formed a nice lather. I could actually feel my hair getting softer as I shampooed. When I rinsed, my hair remained soft and I could tell it was squeaky clean. As I added my other hair products my hair remained soft, smooth and manageable. It had a great shine and looked so much better than before the shampoo. This shampoo worked to clarify my hair, removing old product residue, and that is why it felt so clean. I have consistently been using this shampoo and my hair has never looked better. I would say it truly did nourish my hair. I look forward to using this and all their other hair products. While your results may not be identical to mine, I definitely recommend this shampoo to clean and nourish your hair.

LaLune Naturals Aloe Vera Gel is 99.75% Pure Organic Aloe


LaLune Naturals Aloe Vera Gel is made from 100% USDA Organic Aloe Vera plants, grown and extracted in the USA. The remaining .25% is preservatives. It comes in an amber plastic bottle with both a pump or a squeeze type top. It is Vegan and Cruelty Free. This Aloe Vera Gel is free from any fragrance. It is in a relatively liquid state. I tried this gel by itself and as a component in my make-at-home bug lotion. By itself, the gel spreads very easily and absorbs quickly. I love that it has no scent so I can use it under makeup and perfume. Immediately, it is soothing to the skin. It also softens the skin and helps it to feel smooth. I also applied it on some cat scratches. It reduced the redness and softened the scar. For my make-at-home bug spray I used 60 drops of Tea Tree Oil, 20 drops of Geranium Oil, 1 tablespoon of glycerin and then filled the remainder of the 3 oz. sprayer with the Aloe Vera Gel. This is sprayed on and then gently rubbed into the skin. The nice thing about using the Aloe Vera Gel is that if I do get a sting, it is present on the skin to immediately reduce the reaction to the sting. This bug spray is good for light outside activities. Since I also make my own skin lotions, the Aloe Vera Gel can be used as a carrier gel with other essential oils or extracts. I definitely recommend LaLune Naturals Aloe Vera Gel as great product to use alone for healing or used in mixtures to sooth, protect, and smooth skin.

The Aegend Knee Brace Provides Support in Comfort

I've tried many neoprene knee braces over the years. One thing they all had in common was that after an hour or two they started to be uncomfortable and I had to get them off my knee ASAP. The Aegend Knee Brace is the first one I've tried that remains comfortable enough for all day wear. I've found that it has really helped to reduce the pain from my wobbly knees and decrease their hyperextension. It has slightly longer tabs that wrap around and velcro to the brace. It also has side stability supports, to keep the knee and patella stable and aligned, and a silicone strip at the top to keep it in place so it does not start sliding down the leg. It can be used on the right or left leg easily. I will say that it fits me perfectly, but someone with a larger thigh or knee area might have an issue with the velcro loop side going against the skin, rather than the brace. My thigh circumference is 18.75" and around the knee is 16". The open patella design increases breathability and aids in the comfort. The neoprene is soft and stretchable. I am also able to hand wash it. While your results may not be identical to mine, I do recommend this knee brace to provide knee stability with built in comfort for all day wear.

Usually, I apply this product, let it absorb, then follow with a Vitamin C serum and an Eye Gel for night time use. During the day, I apply this product first, then my sunscreen, then my makeup. It allows my makeup to glide on and keeps my skin moisturized all day. While your results may not be identical to mine, I do recommend this product for skin improvement day and night.

Justified Laboratories Premium Teeth Whitening Kit Works So Well!!!


As someone who has tried a variety of teeth whitening products, including gels, strips, rinses, and toothpastes, I can say that the Justified Laboratories Premium Teeth Whitening Kit is superior to all of them. It comes with a mouth tray that allows you to whiten your top and bottom teeth at the same time. It also comes with an LED light to speed up the whitening process. All you do is put a very small amount of the gel from the syringe into the tray, spreading it thinly on both sides. You place the soft plastic tray in your mouth and place the LED light against the tray. I was able to hold both the tray and the light with my lips keeping the light against the tray. I used it for 15 minutes, then turned off the light and removed it and the tray. I then rinsed the tray and my teeth and wiped off the light. I could actually see that my teeth started looking whiter after the first use. Continued use improved the whiteness of my teeth. I would recommend that you brush your teeth right before placing the tray in your mouth and rinse well, but do not eat or drink for 30 minutes after using the gel. This allows the whitening process to finalize. My teeth did feel a bit sensitive, but not as bad as some other products. I was amazed at the fast improvement and there was no hassle about having to do the top teeth and the bottom teeth separately and the gel didn't drip or ooze like some other products I've tried. I had just about given up on home whitening products until I received this great product. While your results may not be identical to mine, I definitely recommend this product as a fast and efficient way to whiten your teeth without spending 100's of dollars at the dentist.
