Like most people, my hair looks good the day after it's washed, but by that second morning after it's starting to get a little oily. Add in cooking/cleaning all day, and Monday morning isn't a great day to go to work. This definitely helped! A little spray on either side of the head near the roots, totally refreshed my hair in time to straighten a leave. It's easy to use, though I can never tell if i'm using too much or not enough. The slight color I didn't necessarily notice, but any little help between colors is always a bonus.
There is also a slight scent to it, not enough to overpower any perfume, but just enough to let your head feel refreshed.
Definitely good for that unexpected-I normally work from home but now I have to go into work - day

NIVEA Q10plus Anti-Wrinkle Serum Pearls

I've recommend it even though I felt like it didn't work for me. I fortunately don't have any wrinkle spots that I'm concerned with - or any right now, so the action of applying an anti-wrinkle serum didn't seem to do anything. I realize it's anti-wrinkle, and I did focus on areas that I felt may need the extra care (under and around the eyes). But I think it would need at least a good month or so to really see a difference.
It smelled lovely and was very easy to apply (though I was kind of hoping it would be actual pearl shape cream drops!)
I feel like if you have slight wrinkles or are prone to getting wrinkles ..than it might just work for you better than it worked for me

NIVEA In-Shower Cocoa Butter Body Lotion
Firstly the instructions do scare me a bit - apply than rinse off immediately! I'm not a 100% sure I was even using it right, do you rub it in like actual cream, or do you just slap it on and wash it right off. I did go with the slap on/wash off... +
Firstly the instructions do scare me a bit - apply than rinse off immediately! I'm not a 100% sure I was even using it right, do you rub it in like actual cream, or do you just slap it on and wash it right off.
I did go with the slap on/wash off method. It smells lovely, not overpowering just a light smell that lingered for a while. I did feel like it was keeping my legs from drying out (the primary spot I used it on) and this time of year that it a difficult thing to do all on its own.
However having said that- I'm not sure if I would recommend it. It works, yes, but it's weird. I feel like maybe you just need to moisturize with Nivea once you get out of the shower. I've gone with recommending it, as I feel that maybe I just over-thought the instructions to much, and it did indeed help my skin

Marc Anthony Hydrating Coconut Oil & Shea Butter Deep Nourishing Body Lotion

I was looking for a good cream to keep on my desk at work that smelled nice (check!) but not overpowering (check!) and would keep my extremely dry hands moisturized (check!)
I actually really enjoy the coconut smell, it's there but almost subtle. Very much like the Body Shop version but a third of the price.
So far it does seem to be keeping my hands from drying out too much, yes it does get a little greasy, but if you can figure out how to get it just on the top of your hands it would be brilliant!

This was probably my favorite bar of the 3- i loved the cranberry tartness and the sweetness of the blackberry. I really thought this one showcased the two flavors melding together.
The dark chocolate was perfect with it, but i could see it with the slightly less healthier milk chocolate.

Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Cherry with Pomegranate

I liked the idea of this one - cherry and pomegranate, two fruits that are definitely not on the cheap side to eat fresh, and definitely (with cherries at least) a seasonal fruit. I liked the combination, the tartness of the cherry with the subtler flavor of the pomegranate. The dark chocolate with it was that added burst of sophisticated sweet.
I definitely enjoyed this one more and felt all fancy eating it - a grown up granola bar

Acai is such an odd flavor! The blueberry with acai bar was not my favorite, which was really more of a personal preference, since I'm not a fan of either fruit.
It's a good size snack bar , perfect for the jolt of sweet you crave around 3pm. I found this one a little too sweet for me personally, both in taste and smell. The blueberry was definitely evident. If you are a fan of blueberries in general, this is probably the bar for you .

Not my favorite of the products, but for those of us who have no sewing skills (much to the chagrin of our mothers) this does come in handy. I don't feel it works the best on heavy weighted pants (jeans no) but for those dress pants, it does work the best. Not a huge fan of the ironing aspect afterall I would need an iron to do it -
Scotch Essentials Adjustable Hem Tape

These are great! I am a firm believer that pants should never be too short, resulting in my pants generally being pretty long. Of course when you got from wearing them with your boots to wearing them with sandals, you tend to sweep the floor. These are the perfect go to item to throw in your desk at work for when you have to switch out of your heavy boots into your daytime flats. Easy to use, and since it's adjustable, if you get it wrong, you can fix it! I would keep on hand -

I got to try this fantastic product for free thanks to ChickAdvisor and though my review is a little late. I loved it. As someone who is a little bustier, and who does need to dress up for work (ie. Button down tops) what I loved about this was that, when your shirt gaps just a little too much but you're headed out the door and can't change, this adds an extra button in there, and boom, no visible bra. I would totally keep these on hand just for that alone. Yes it my button came flying off for some reason it would also come in handy. Easy to use and takes up little space in your makeup bag -
