I had the awesome opportunity to review these 2 great products. I have been using them for about a month now and absolutely love how it makes my hair feel. Now to be completely honest with you, I have really thin hair and it is as straight as a board,I don't need to brush it because it falls into place all the time.
I can honestly say that I have never had a Shampoo or Conditioner physically give volume to my hair. Well this one has!!! I am always playing with and running my fingers through.Also instead of always keeping it tied up in a ponytail because I can't really do anything with it, ( that just goes to show the "lack of Volume" in my hair) I actually leave it down now :) My hair really feels much thicker then it is and definitely alot fuller now since using John Frieda Luxurious Volume and of course it definitely has more bounce to it.
After I use this great duo, my hair is left feeling Extremely clean & smelling amazing! Makes me feel like I just got home from the Hair Salon. The only thing I find with the shampoo is that is doesn't foam up in my hair as most shampoos would. Its just a personal preference that's all! The most important thing is it Cleans my hair and it gives it Volume.
The Conditioner makes your hair so unbelievably soft, like after you use that tube of conditioner when you dye your hair :) I normally always use conditioner when washing my hair, as I find most shampoos strip my hair of it natural oils, leaving it really dry and unmanageable. Not John Frieda Luxurious Volume though :)
I even put the shampoo to the test alone and was quite impressed! Now I can tell you how it would make someone else's hair feel like, but for those with Thin, Volume-less hair like mine, this is definitely a product that I would recommend to you. I am sure you will love it just as much as I did. Get ready for some Volume :D .. (Its times like this I wish I had taken a picture of my boring hair before & after, so you can see the difference!)
Okay so being a Couponer and someone who likes saving money, you can imagine that I have a bit of a hair time paying the $8.99 for 1 shampoo (without a sale or a coupon) hehe but honestly with results like this, you won't mind treating yourself to this kind of treat every few months. It's completely cheaper then buying it from the Salon (or booking an appointment with them a tip), but you really do get the same results. Of course it does come on sale :) so keep your eyes peeled the next time you go shopping and really think about giving it a try, You won't regret it :}

Zevia is a low calorie, no sugar added, all natural Stevia sweetened soda beverage. Now as a regular Pop drinker, you can’t fool me when it comes to taste. I like my Pepsi and Coke products, so when I was told about this Soda Substitute (as I call it) I was a little skeptical. I was very fortunate enough to have had a try at the Canuck Pack,.There was the 11 following flavors and this is what I thought about them!
Grape… This was a good one. I liked it similar taste to the grape soda you buy in the stores. My son does not drink Pop (he is 3) but my niece is a huge lover of any kind of “Junk” food and I let her try this one. She loved it. So I would say it is Kid-Approved This would be a great one to buy for birthday parties… It can even be use in Recipes
Black Cherry… I can’t say too much about this one, because I am absolutely not a fan of any kin of cherry type cola. Its just not my thing, its a personal taste, you might try it and love it.
Gingerale: This is the one I first tried, as gingerale is what I’d normally be drinking. I was pleasantly surprised with it’s similar great taste. It still has that same great fizz and bubbles as any soda F
Caffeine Free Cola… Taste almost the same as the Zevia Cola. Which taste good. Its not exactly the same taste as the brand name stuff, but its still great in its own unique way. Perfect for those avoiding caffeine and also another great one for kids!.
Orange... I really enjoyed this one. Its was a nice orange drink, very similar to brand name sodas. I love also love the shiny cans they all come in. Makes it alot more appealing when your drinking it.
Lemon Lime Twist…. I love it. Its even better then the brand names. So much flavor. It’s like BAM in your mouth, citrus flavor
Ginger Rootbeer …. To be honest I was never a huge drinker of gingerale. Once in awhile I would order one if we went to A&W;to eat, but other then that, its not my thing. Zevia made it taste great somehow and that’s all that’s important. You really need to try this for yourself. I know people who like eat those “Rootbeer Floats”
Cola….Now when I drink this, it reminds me of brand name diet cola, just slightly more watery. In general I like it, but its not one of my favs.
Cherry Cola…. Again Im not a fan of the cherry and cola but the hubby likes them, so they must be good?
Cream Soda …I can honestly say that neither my hubby nor I liked the taste of this flavor. You might, but I can’t even describe it. I know that it is way off of actual cream soda.. Sorry guys I wouldn’t try again…
Dr Zevia : It tastes just as great as Dr Pepper (the hubby said)
If for some reason I was told that I wasn’t able to drink regular pop again, I would be just fine because I now have the piece of mind of knowing I have other options that are just as great and even Better for me. There is so much less sugar in a can of Zevia compared to even a juice box. With a wide variety of flavors, you are sure to find something to your liking. This really is a product you want you fill your fridge and stockpile up with.
Its great for people on special diets, diabetics or other anyone who just wants to consume healthier products. You can find them in the organic/health section.
Have you tried these great drinks?

I recently got a sample of LaCoupe's Orgnx Brazilian Keratin Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner. I was excited to give it a try. The shampoo was nice smelling and silky soft , it also made my hair feel light and really clean {feeling & looking}. The conditioner was nice & creamy, this too smelled great, had a sweet floral scent . Then I let my hair dry naturally as I always do and it came out shining. It really did get rid of other product buildup in my hair. The shampoo is enriched with keratin proteins, avocado oil, cocoa butter and moringa extracts. Gotta love natural ingredients :) - It is paraben-free, sulfate-free, and colour-safe, which is great because I dye my hair!. I would definitely recommend this product to others. I would love to try it as a part of the whole system and document the results on that ;).I will also purchase this product again in the future! I love it. -
Dr. Beckmann's Colour & Dirt Collector Review

Well, I was given the awesome opportunity to Test and write a Review for the new Dr. Beckmann's Colour & Dirt Collector laundry sheets. I thought this was great, because first off I don't like doing laundry so I never separate my clothes by colors, I just gather them up, toss some soap in and let the machine do the rest. After trying these sheets in a washer full of mixed colored clothes, you can really see how much dirt and running color it has picked up.
I honestly believe that these little miracle sheets can prolong the life and color of your clothes. They are so simple to use, just toss them in your laundry and take it out when you are done drying the clothes. You will instantly be able to see a different. I had the chance to compare 2 sheets together.The one on the right is un-use, while you can see that the left one is dirtier looking. This is proof they work! :)
I would definitely recommend Dr. Beckmann's Colour & Dirt Collector sheets to my friends and family. Its just 1 extra and simple task to do, to ensure you get the most out of your clothes..

Recently my son celebrated his 3rd Birthday and received a Cars 2 Ez Driver Mater Remote Control tow Truck By Mattel, as a present. We personally, have wasted quite a bit on money on these remote control cars that stated they were for children his age. Then we get home and open them, only to find it so difficult to control, even the adults have a hard time..So after the birthday party ended, My son and I spent hours chasing the cats around the house with his new toy, after all, they need their excersise too ;) I can honestly say that I loved playing with it just as much as our son did!
I love the fact that there are buttons to go forward and reverse, making it easy for a young child to use, unlike the sticks that you see with remote control vehicles for older kids! I also like the fact that there is a wheel which allows you to steer Mater the same way you would a real car, again unlike the stick! Last but not least how could anyone not love the fact that it actually looks like Mater? Mattel did an amazing job on the details! As for the price, I was told it was around $20. Not a bad price at all for something with such great quality.
All in all, I love this product, not only is it fun but it's also a great way to spend quality time with your kids! I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a 3 year old that Loves Cars/Trucks

I've tried many different face washes and other products to treat breakouts and all they did was dry out my skin or make me break out worse. The only thing that ever seemed to work was toner! Recently I was lucky enough to win a contest through L'Oreal Paris Canada on Twitter allowing me to try their new line of Men Expert products.
I was absolutely amazed how I could feel my pores tightening as I washed my face with the Magnetic Charcoal cleanser, immediately after drying my face I applied the moisturizing fluid, which not only works as a toner but can also be used for razor burn! I love the fact that the dispenser only allows a small amount as you don't need much and I tend to waste more aftershave and lotion than I use sometimes, so this feature is perfect! I also like the fact that it gives a slight cooling sensation after applying, not to mention the smell of it, which my wife also likes (bonus)!
After only 2 days of using this product line I was seeing, as well as my wife, that my pores were and still are less noticeable and my skin is looking healthier than what it did before I started using it :) I was given a shave cream as well which makes my skin feel smooth and soft to the touch and it smells really good too! I'm absolutely in love with this product line and will continue to buy it after my win is done! I would definitely recommend this line to any man that wants to have healthier rejuvenated looking skin!

I was recently given the opportunity to review these great Woolzies XL Dryer Balls: "The Natural Fabric Softener".
This is an amazing Handmade product from 100% pure New Zealand Wool! My favorite thing about these, is the fact that they are Hypoallergenic & even safe for people with wool sensitivities or other skin condition. Which is great as my Son suffers from psoriasis and eczema. He recently broke out so bad, that we had to complete cut out fabric softener from his clothes. The laundry soap we use is not harsh on his skin, but now since we removed the fabric softener, we have static in his clothes. We really do try to use "natural or organic" whenever we can and with Woolzies being completely chemical free (how awesome is that?), it now makes it easier then ever to choose a product that can meet our needs. Where else are you going to find a product like this??
Another great thing I love, is the fact that it really does cut my drying time by 25% or (30-40 minutes in my case). Normally I put a large load on for 70 minutes (often having to start the dryer again for 20 some mins), with my first load using the dryer balls, I only had to run the dryer for an hour, saving me money on my hydro bill over time. As someone who tries to save my family as much money as I can, this is a great start. This product is guaranteed to do the following:
Softens Naturally
Reduces Static
Helps Eliminate Wrinkles
Reduces Drying Time by 25%
Saves Energy
Noise Free
Chemical Free
Hypoallergenic
100% Safe for people with Wool Sensitivities
And I can honestly say that I have experienced all of the following from this product. Just think no more plastic containers to recycle! :)
I love using fabric softeners (liquid and sheets) but it worried me so much because they are flammable, so now I'm more at ease knowing these dryer balls will keep my clothes and house safe from burning up! They are so quiet, you can't even hear them and sometimes forget that you have them in there...lol Also did you know that you can add your own scents to them if you prefer?. I am telling ya, this is such a great product...I am in love...
Overall I am super happy with this product. I will recommend it to everyone I know. And will definitely continue using them. But I won’t have to buy any for a long time :)
We look at it this way,
Spend roughly $7.50 on 32 loads of fabric softener (you would need 31 bottles to get 1000 loads) or $34.95 $6.95 USD shipping & handling on Woolzies and get 1000 loads = difference of almost $200 if you stick with Woolzies...So they are a must :)

I want to start off by Thanking Majda Ficko for thinking up this cream that is pure genius. As a Mom who tries to live a greener lifestyle & eliminate all these harsh chemicals from entering my home, this has been one of my many life savers. Baby Butz Cream is by far the absolute best cream out there for diaper rashes. I wish I could scream this from the top of the world, how amazing and effective this cream is. I honestly believe that this should be everyone's "go to" baby butt cream, and I am going to try my very hardest at convincing you to make the switch as well. If only you knew all the bad stuff that they put into other creams, which in most cases are so harsh on those sensitive little bottoms, making them even more red and sore.
My son has had skin irritation problems since day 1. We have been told by his doctor that its eczema & psoriasis (which he gets from my mother's side of the family). It is so sad as a parent to watch your child suffer through any kind of diaper rash, knowing there's not always much you can do to prevent or treat it. I can name you off a whole list of other creams we have tried in the past, on his sensitive skin (including organic and prescribed ones), but those aren't important because they didn't work. I one day decided to cut all products with harsh ingredients from his laundry cycle. It seemed to have helped a little bit but not completely.
Suddenly I came across this wonderful cream by doing some research over the internet and found Baby Butz Cream. They even use this in the NICU's at the hospitals. The moment this arrived at my home, I was excited and eager to try it out. Automatically I loved the little container that it comes in. Perfect for any childs room/nursery. And I just so happen to love Turtles :D
After a few days, Riley was starting to develop another rash on his bottom, so right away I ran for the Baby Butz Cream, so I opened the bottle and scooped out a little bit and caked it on as evenly as I could. This cream is really thick and you don't need much. The next morning I couldn't wait to see the results (if any at all I was thinking) and to my honestly surprise, the rash was 98% gone. Seemed like any other creams we have tried before always made the rash worst, before it would make it better. I am SUPER happy with this and of course I had a happy child as well :D SCORE!!!!!!!!!
I've already told everyone I possibly know about this cream (even those without kids) and how great it is. I am constantly bragging about it :D lol. I will continue to share this review with everyone and anytime I hear of someone being pregnant, I am definitely going to bring up Baby Butz Cream!
Rate it as AWESOME X 1000
You could just take my word for it, but I seriously urge you to try this product to see the results for yourself!

Now this is one of the best tools in my kitchen, by far. Finally something invented for picky little eaters. My son absolutely loves when I make him lunch & snacks with *Funbites*. I personally love all of the different food that I get to use it on and it instantly makes eating it, fun :) This is great to use on children's food, making everything into BITE-SIZED pieces. I have used Funbites to make appetizers for grown-up parties as well as birthday parties :) See what I mean, you can use it for so many different things. Here's some stuff I have tried and successfully was able to use this product on : Cheese, Pizza, Sandwiches/Grilled Cheese, Fruits, Vegetables, Pancakes, Cookies, etc.
I would definitely say that this product is a time-saving machine. There's no hassle, its safe to use ( I even let my 3 year old cut his own toast. With my supervision of course) and best of all it is easy to clean. It comes with a "popper" that instantly pops out the square-shaped pieces. Its so simple. I just love it.
Here's what you do:
Step 1: Wash it and Remove popper top and set to the side.
Step 2: Place Funbites cutter on top of food. Grab cutter handles on both sides, press down firmly and rock 5-6 times to cut through your food.
Step 3: Lift the cutter up, insert popper top and pop out the bite-sized pieces! and Voila. Your ready to serve!!!!
-->They cost about $13.00 each ( shipping)
This is a product that I already recommend to my friends & family, and will continue to tell everyone about this great "kitchen- time saving invention" :D
