Vitamin C Facial Cleanser

I was recently blessed with being able to try a new to me facial cleanser which I have really enjoyed using. I would love to try out more of the products in the line as this facial cleanser works great. I had run out of my other facial cleanser and went back to my stand in facial cleanser and I was not happy with the results, but when I started this facial cleanser I noticed my face was looking better after only a few uses.

What I love most about this cleanser is that it is a green cleanser, that is made in the USA and is animal cruelty free. These are all big things to me when looking for a cleanser. This product is also free from sulfate which is important as well as a whole list of of other items like parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, silicones, propylene glycol, mineral oils, artificial fragrances, synthetic dyes, triclosan, tea, dea, edta.

Our family tries to use better product on, in, and near our bodies more each day. This is a pump bottle, you only need a little. It doesn't suds up much but you can feel it working while you are washing your face. Just wash face in circular motions, rinse, pat dry, then follow with toner, serums, and moisturizer if you use them.

The Joyal Beauty Facial Cleanser can be found on Amazon.


What Joyal Beauty has to say about their product.

Are you looking for the ideal face wash? An ideal face wash should be gentle, natural, SLS-free, pH-balanced, non-drying, non-irritating, anti-acne(and other common skin disorders), and anti-aging!

An unbalanced pH level can lead to things like acne, wrinkles, and other skin irritants. Most cleansers tend to be alkaline, which means that they have a higher pH to irritate your skin.

January #BrickSwag Unboxing

Looking for a gift that gives all year round? Have a Lego Lover? Then you might want to check out Brick Swag the monthly Subscription Box revolved around Legos. I have myself played with legos from about the age of 7 that I can remember and they have been apart of all 6 of my children's lives and now even my 2 grand daughters lives.                                                                                                                                       It is one toy while I ran my child care that the kids didn't fight over. There are few toys out there that can accomplish this, but Lego is one of them. It brings children together to compromise, and most of the time build something together. Even if you have a lone Lego Lover this subscription is great I look forward to seeing what each month has in store for our family. Join me in the coming months in unboxing Brick Swag over on my Youtube site :MarksvilleandMe, and then a review of each box here.

Awesome club for those who love legos and a great gift that keeps giving all year long. Check out my videos below, more to come in the months ahead.

MagBox Make MagSafe 2

We do not have a magnetic interface like the macbook so we were not able to use this but I have to say that this is a neat way to charge your devices. I don't know how many time my girls have tripped over a charging cord to send their iPod, iPads, or iPhones slamming to the floor, not to mention their laptops so I can sure see the greatness of this product.

I could not figure out how to use this for the items we already have but if you have a product that charges this way get one because this is a really smart design.

Great for gift giving, or just using for your own products. I love that this can be used on android or apple products.

Purifyou

This is a pretty nice water bottle. Glass kind of scares me because with having children glass doesn't last too long, but this bottle has held up so far so it gets my thumbs up.

The silicone sleeve pretty much protects the whole bottle from light falls or fumbles. I love that if you want to really take a big gulp you are able to do that since the lid comes off, but I didn't like how small the mouth was. I can't put ice inside to keep my drink cooler longer.

Great for short trips or for use in your home. Comes in several colors and is great for both sexes.

The top even has a little finger hold so you can grab it that way or hook to a carabiner clip.


You can find the Purifyou water bottle on Amazon.

• IT'S TIME to purify your lifestyle, and change the way you drink water. Glass is 100% recyclable, and doesn't leach harmful chemicals or unwanted flavors into your water like plastic or metal.
  
  Our glass water bottle is reusable as many times as you'd like, and is entirely BPA free, Phthalate free, PVC free, lead free, cadmium free and worry free. Try finding that in another bottle. Plus, it's made from high borosilicate glass, which is more heat resistant than any other commonly used glass. Now you can save the planet and enjoy your warm tea too. Still worried the glass might break? Not so fast - our glass is the most durable in consumer retail, and with the added food-grade high-impact-resistant silicone sleeve for drop protection who knows what you'll be capable of (dropping from the 3rd floor of your office building is still not recommended though).
  
  Our lid and glass bottles are optimized for YOU. With just the right size between a narrow mouth and wide mouth, the lid is also quick to twist off and 100% leak-proof. Our silicone sleeve also acts as an insulator, keeping your beverage hot or cold for extended use. Making the perfect container, our glass bottles will also brave any weather conditions your home puts them through, because they're microwave safe, dishwasher safe, and freezer safe (do not overfill for freezer use though!).
  
  At an easy 7.5 inches tall and weighing in at about half a pound, you just might find yourself taking your bottle to all sorts of new places. From the yoga mat to those high profile business meetings, our bottle also looks great in your purse or with kids on the go.
  
  HELP SAVE THE WORLD TOO, because with every glass water bottle purchased, a portion of our profits is sent directly to building water wells for impoverished communities in Africa. Being a hero for those in need has never been easier. Each bottle sold separately.

Collapsible Travel Hair Diffuser

I was really excited to get this diffuser as an extra diffuser in case mine broke down but sadly it wouldn't fit my hair dryer. I have a ionizer hair dryer. I was able to snag my daughters  hair dryer that no longer worked and it fit that fine.

My suggestion is to make sure this fits your dyers. Since this is slotted for travel I guess it would fit on the smaller hair dryers including the kind you find in the hotel rooms.

I have a large hair dryer and it wouldn't fit it so that could be the reason why it didn't fit mine but fit my daughters which was for her to take back and forth to school when she was on the swim team.

I love how this is collapsible and also has nice rounded teeth so you hair does not get snagged while being dried. I actually hope to see this company come out with a larger one for larger dryers like mine so that it can be used by those who don't travel as much.

Great product for those who travel and want to keep their curls under control.

You can find this Collapsible Hair Diffuser on Amazon.


Whether you're trying to fit yet another styling necessity into a bathroom packed with beauty products, throwing your hair essentials into a duffel bag before spending a spontaneous weekend with your best friend or your best more-than-a-friend, or grabbing your purse and running halfway around the world to places where just finding a place to plug your hairdryer in is an adventure, The Curly Co. Collapsible Travel Diffuser is ready to go with you. The silicone construction is built to stretch and shrink to fit almost any hair dryer that you could possibly own, and the flexible material lets you collapse your diffuser into a flat, packable shape that slips easily into your bag or the corner of your overstuffed suitcase, so you'll always be able to carry the tools you need to keep your tresses smooth, springy, and styled. 

The best part of The Curly Co. Collapsible Travel Diffuser?! It comes with the one and only The Curly Co. Guide, which is full of awesome tips, tricks, and styling techniques that help you bring out the natural beauty of your gorgeous curls.
