L-Theanine – This natural amino acid proven to reduce stress. The supplements are small and dissolve quickly.
D3- If you need to add some Vitamin D to your diet, these are a great choice. They are super concentrated and melt in your mouth. Superior Source offers a vitamin D option for both kids and adults.
The calming formula is a great way to help settle your nerves the natural way. It's a gentle formula that will help take the edge off your stress.
GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), functions as a neurotransmitter as helps reduce stress and provides a better night's sleep.
One of my favorites from the Superior Source line is the Just Women Iron. I don't like to eat red meat so my iron levels are usually low. This is becoming a larger problem now that I'm getting older. This supplements are a great way to get all the iron I need in my diet.
Vitamin B Complex is good for your heart and your brain. It can help boost energy and increase mental alertness.

If you need any help along your journey our customer experience team are on hand to help, and they know what it’s like to wear the product as they are all proud owners of their own instasmile.
Affordable custom-made solution
Alongside our customer-first approach & unsurpassed attention to detail, one of the biggest achievements as a team has been creating a more affordable alternative to traditional veneers. We also offer payment plans in order to make the product more financially accessible to the wider population, because we wholeheartedly believe that every single person should have the confidence to smile.
A revolution in smile design
instasmile clip-on veneers are a convenient and comfortable choice. Carefully crafted to match your dental profile, they are designed to easily clip on over your natural teeth, with no need for adhesives.
Using our unique patent pending technology, you have the option to have a smile makeover, hide stained, missing or damaged teeth and cover gaps without having to visit a dentist.
Trusted technology
Our technicians are skilled in creating slimline and natural-looking custom-made veneers to fit your teeth, so they’re easy to put on and comfortable, leaving you smiling all day.
Independent tests, conducted by a leading university on the materials used have shown they are both durable and have good color stability – even after extended exposure to black coffee, red wine or cola there were negligible changes to the naked eye.
My Thoughts:
Like many people out there, I have had dental insecurities for many years. Growing up, I have seen countless dentists and orthodontists about ways to improve my smile. Some would recommend braces for six months to even three years at one point. Others said my teeth were great and a couple small procedures or veneers would fix them, but they were very pricey and braces would be off the table if I ever did want them. As I got older and decided to go to college, I did not have the time or extra expenses to invest in the process of fixing my smile, yet I still dreamed of my perfect , whiter and more professional looking smile being a reality someday.
My Smile before Instasmile.
My biggest insecurities with my smile had to do with the spacing between my two front teeth. I also had a small fang tooth at the top, a generational tooth passed down to many of us that didn't match the other side. When I heard of Instasmile's clip in veneers via social media, I knew I needed to check out the company. With graduate school coming my way in the next couple of years, it seemed like the best time to look into improving my smile.
I was thrilled to be able to review Instasmile. I placed my order for the upper and lower sets in Classic A1 through the phone and the customer service team explained that first, an impressions kit would be sent to my home. Once received, I could make a webcam appointment, and they would walk me through it. The impression process was a lot easier than expected. Included in my kit was the putty to mix and the trays to take the impressions. The customer service representative walked me through each step from mixing the putty to holding the trays for as long as needed. Once the impressions were approved they were sent off in the box included for the free re-delivery to Instasmile. Once my impressions were received, an email was sent to me with the expected shipping date of my completed veneers.
My Smile after Instasmile.
Once my veneers arrived I was shocked at how beautiful the coloring was and how perfectly shaped they were to my teeth. They were packed safely with an included case with a mirror inside for easy storage after use. I put them in and they fit with no problems. It was amazing to see myself with a new smile for the first time. It was such a special moment! Immediately I began showing them off to family and friends and they too were thrilled with my results.
The only side affects I have had thus far is minor pain at the bottom of my teeth and a small lisp for the first couple of days I used Instasmile. The lisp is slight and lasts a couple of minutes until my mouth begins to adjust to having my teeth straight. The most common questions people have asked me so far is if I can eat and drink with them and the answer is yes! I have already done both and my teeth look perfect without any staining. It takes a little getting used to at first because like with talking, you are learning how to move your mouth and tongue around the veneers. Once you find your rhythm, you'll be good to go!
My smile hasn't been more beautiful since Instasmile! I truly can't recommend them enough. If you are someone interested in improving the color, appearance, or your overall confidence in your smile, check out the links in this review to the Instasmile website. Their dedication to customer service is wonderful, and the process is so much smoother, less time consuming, and more affordable than the traditional way of veneers or braces. I'm so grateful to the Instasmile team for assisting me through this process and I know you will be too!

Budding beauty guru Daisy Creel is proof that you're never too small to think big. She joined her love of animals with an entrepreneurial spirit to develop LIPZU, a line of organic lip balms that gives a portion of its proceeds to the Humane Society. "We got all of our pets - two cats, a dog and a bird - from the Human Society," says Daisy. "Someone saved and cared for them before they came to live with us, so I want to return the favor."
My Thoughts:
I adore the stories of young entrepreneurs striving to make a difference. When I heard about Daisy Creel and her passion for animals as well as giving back to the Humane Society, I knew I wanted to give LIPZU a try. Each lip balm had an adorable case that displayed an animated animal on the front. I was sent the lip balms: Figaro (cat), Gilbert (penguin), Huckleberry (dog), and Wish (panda). The flavors were Mango, Cherry, Strawberry, and Cucumber.
I was impressed by how delicious the scents were. The product was silky smooth and easy to apply. I could feel the lip balm soaking in quickly upon application and leaving a softer feeling. My lips felt wonderful afterwards and there was no after taste or a need to keep reapplying many times. I put more on maybe three times a day depending on how my lips were feeling. I noticed an increase in hydration by the next day. My brother also tried these with me and he felt the same way. He gets horribly chapped lips that are prone to cracking, and he loved LIPZU. He didn't feel any burning, pain or stinging like other lip balms have given him. There is a lot of product in each pod, so these will last a long time. The animals on the front did wear off over time, but the product itself worked just as well. It was also great that they were organic!
Here is the ingrediant list: Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Beeswax (Cire D’abeille), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Natural Flavor, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem Extract, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, and Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Fruit.
Each lip balm is Gluten-free, Paraben-free, Petrolatum-free, Phthalate-free, 95% organic, 100% natural, and there is no animal testing.
If you are looking for a wonderful product that supports giving back, I would highly recommend giving LIPZU a try! Each lip balm retails for only $6 each and shipping is always free. I'm wishing Daisy a wonderful time on her future career endeavors, and thank you to LIPZU for allowing me to give these awesome products a try!
Exposing lips to the harsh winter weather may leave lips chapped, cracked and dry. Tending to lips requires more than just a fruity flavored balm or protectant to soothe the skin. Check out the new AllGlamR’s Lip Servis, a natural moisturizing lip treatment that holds the key to a mouth of full, soft, and healthy looking lips
Lips are constantly in use and openly exposed to winter’s harsh environment so they are more subject to dehydration and aging. Lip Servis reduces fine lines and surface folds creating naturally fuller, more defined lips naturally while repairing signs of skin damage due to wind, cold and sun exposure. Lip Servis is jammed full of Hyaluronic Acid, a natural humectant that draws moisture from the surrounding air to the lips reinforcing the connective tissue, keeping skin soft, supple and plump while improving elasticity.
Lip Servis's lip-loving formulation works by providing long lasting moisture and stimulating the molecular structure of lips’ thin skin membranes. Collagen and hyaluronic acid play an integral role in shaping, filling and defining the appearance of lips. Lip Servis’s complex blend of safe, irritant-free ingredients directly stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis while restoring optimal moisturization when worn alone or under pigmented lip products.
"If your lips are very dry and cracked, avoid licking your lips and don't bite the skin on the surface of your lips as the skin will never have a chance to heal. Massage lips in the morning with a moisture delivering treatment like Lip Servis and at night before you go to bed”, says Gina Caruso the esthetician who developed the AllGlamR skincare collection.
"This can help boost your lips’ natural ability for repair while you sleep."
Lip Servis Benefits:
- Stimulates collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis
- Plumps through collagen proliferation and skin hydration
- Reduces wrinkles, fine lines and surface folds
- Locks in moisture
- Irritant free
Directions:
Smooth over lip area as often as needed. May be used under lipstick or alone.
Manufactured in the USA. Totally Paraben free products and handcrafted
without harmful additives and irritants and never, tested on animals.
.5 fl Oz/$40.00. For more information and to purchase visit www.allglamr.com.
My Thoughts:
Having sensitive skin that's prone to dryness, I was very excited to try, Lip Servis. I think I have purchased almost every lip balm on the market throughout the harsh winters and summers where my lips are at their driest. Almost all of them are thrown away after a week or so of giving them a chance. The constant need to reapply through the day, on top of waking up to see little to no results the next morning gets so frustrating. It feels like throwing money away.
One of the first reasons that Lip Servis stood out to me was the ingredients and the benefits. Not only was the formula irritant free, it also locks in moisture while stimulating collagen. It can even help your lips when it comes to avoiding and treating fine lines and wrinkles. It is rare to find a product that can do all that in one!
With the first application I could tell that the formula was thick, creamy, and easy to apply. You do not need a lot of the product to cover your lips. You can look below at the next couple of pictures to see how dreamy the formula is. Right away my lips felt soft and supple. It begins soaking in pretty fast with enough left over to make your lips feel cleansed. I had a couple dry spots and I could feel them hydrating. My little brother who also suffers from dry lips was surprised upon his first application too. He had a few minor cracks and could feel his lips beginning to heal. This did not sting or hurt the cracks at all.
After a couple days of use my lips were looking and feeling fantastic. I could see results the very next day! The dry spots were gone and my lips were easier to exfoliate. My brother also had fantastic results as well. I have not seen a product heal cracked lips so quickly. It also works great underneath lipsticks for my makeup lovers!
Lip Servis is the way to go for those who are looking for a way to finally heal their lips and keep them looking and feeling hydrated, soft, and supple. If you are tired of other products that provide little to no results, I urge you to give this a shot! My tube now has a special spot in my purse.
You only have one chance to make a first impression—and let’s just say, we are impressed! butter LONDON, the official makeup sponsor of Project Runway Junior® Season 2, has partnered with the talented teens and tweens of the hit reality show for the highly-anticipated season premiere. As part of their official makeup sponsorship, butter LONDON’s beauty room was featured in last night’s episode, where contestants worked with celebrity makeup artist Scott Patric to create one-of-a-kind looks to complement their designs on the runway.
The season debuted with a “First Impressions Challenge,” putting the up-and-coming designers to the test by asking them to create a look that represents their point of view. Whether they are inspired by their surroundings, their experience being chosen to compete on Project Runway Junior or something from within themselves, each of these talented young artists have something to share.
The winning look featured an array of butter LONDON products, including the award winning Glazen Eye Gloss, Double Decker Lashes Mascara and Plush Rush Lip Gloss.
My Thoughts:
I love reality television about as much as I love makeup. I was very excited to give two products by butter LONDON a try, the Double Decker Lashes Mascara and the FitLash Primer, from the season premiere of Project Runway Jr. When they arrived I instantly was drawn to the cute packaging. Each had a nice pop of color.
The next thing I examined was the wand. That is a big part of how much and how even an application of product is distributed. Both wands were a great size and well designed. The primer had soft bristles that coat the application evenly and softly to the lashes. The mascara wand had thicker bristles that grabbed each lash and lifted them up as if they were already curled.
I began my test using the FitLast Primer first. The primer is there to help grab onto the mascara better and create even thicker, longer lashes. The primer did not clump and it instantly lifted my lashes upwards in only a couple swipes. My lashes are normally thin and fine, so I adore products that give them both length and volume. I try to go for a false lash look without actually having to use them. I was excited to see how the mascara would do after seeing how great my lashes looked already!
Last but least was the Double Decker Lashes Mascara. I love this product! There have been many mascaras I have tried through the years, and this product is certainly in my top favorites. With just one application, my lashes were instantly defined, dark, long, and lush. I did not curl beforehand to show the full effect of what this mascara can do. It appeared almost like false lashes. I was extremely impressed! The application was not messy and it did not clump. The pictures below were taken right after the first and second coats without any brushing. If you love extra volume and intensity, try two coats.
Not only do these products work hand in hand to create a signature lash look, they are long lasting! After application, the intensity of my lashes stayed put all night. I did not have any smudging or itching. No matter if I yawned or wore contacts, nothing moved. When you are ready to remove, I suggest using a makeup remover to get it off. Simple cleansing with a facial wash will not remove it completely. Make sure not to get any of the fibers in your eyes while washing, it will sting.
I highly recommend both the FitLash Primer and the Double Decker Mascara for those looking for an intense eye product that will last through any activity you have planned for the day!
Grocery store antiperspirants have become the most common solution to bromhidrosis, or what most of us affectionately refer to as B.O. We smear these sticks of who-knows-what on our bodies day in and day out, often unaware of the havoc they may be wreaking internally. You see, most antiperspirants out there contain chemicals like aluminum chloride and parabens that have potential links to breast cancer, lymph node cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and liver disease. The American Journal of Public Health published a report showing that on average, 64% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our body and some studies show nearly 100% of what we put on our armpits is absorbed into our body. Where does it go after being absorbed? Right into your bloodstream. We think this stinks pretty badly.
ENTER HUMBLE. HUMBLE WAS CONCEIVED IN THE KITCHEN OF OUR FOUNDER WHO WAS FRUSTRATED WITH THE EXISTING SELECTION OF ANTIPERSPIRANTS AND ALL-NATURAL DEODORANTS.
After countless concoctions and tests, he finally created a product that works. Humble contains four to five organic and all-natural ingredients that you can pronounce (and might, in fact, have in your own kitchen). Humble is both effective and safe, containing no aluminum or parabens while still keeping you dry and free of offensive odors. We take the care to manufacture our deodorant in small batches right here in America. With the fewest ingredients of any deodorant on the market, Humble is the simple solution to a stinky problem.
My Thoughts:
Ever since I started reading about the dangers of store bought antiperspirants, I have been on the search for a good alternative. Going through the aisles of my local supermarkets and drug stores, almost no all natural brands were being sold. I was extremely surprised by this. After trying one I did come across a few months ago, I ended up breaking out in a horrible rash. I was left disappointed. I knew there had to be a brand that worked somewhere.
When I heard about Humble's products, I was thrilled to give them a try. A completely natural, cruelty free line of deodorants with ingredients I actually recognized? Count me in!
Humble has created three signature products in their deodorant line: Essential Cedarwood, Essential Lavender, and Simply Unscented. All are created using Organic Cornstarch, Organic Bees Wax, All-Natural Baking Soda, Organic Olive Oil, and Organic Essential Oil (Scented products only). Upon opening them they smelled fantastic! I loved the relaxing smell of Lavender. The Cedarwood was an nice uplifting woodsy scent. Although the Simply Unscented did not have essential oils in it, it had a very light clay type fragrance. It was nice!
I tried each one for an extended period of time to know how they worked in terms of longevity and wearing power. Each had a nice thick consistency. The application was a little chunky, but that was easy to solve. If you take a paper towel and wipe off any excess you will be fine. They dry pretty quickly after applying and are not sticky or uncomfortable. The Cedarwood and Lavender left a nice scent after application. Each one lasted a different amount of time for me, but all three did indeed last! Another plus, none of them irritated my skin.
The one that gave me the longest lasting performance was the Essential Cedarwood. I absolutely love this one. It worked all day long for me and still smelled fresh before bed. No matter how much I sweated after a long day of running around, it stayed put. I was amazed!
Essential Lavender lasted almost as long, but the smell was close to being gone by the time I was ready to go to sleep. Simply Unscented needed an extra application after a few hours, but it is still a wonderful pick for those who are sensitive to essential oils or are not looking for a scented deodorant. Each did leave a slight residue on my clothes, but again, if you take a paper towel to remove any excess product before putting on your clothes, that should reduce any marks. It is easy to fix.
If you are looking for an all natural deodorant option, Humble's products are for you! These are wonderful products that are long lasting, wonderful smelling, and just as effective as store bought (if not more)! Thank you Humble for providing me with my new go to products!

I'm still okay for close up if I'm wearing my glasses or going without, but when I have my contacts in, I just can't see up close with too much clarity anymore.
I chose The Duvall for review. The Duvall has clean lines for a classic look - I chose brown/purple for my color selection. The front is brown and the sides are purple.
While I don't yet need readers for book reading during the bright daylight hours, during the evening low-light hours they make reading is a bit easier on the eyes for me. The only downside I've noticed from The Duvall is that the purple on the sides leaves a slight purple residue on my skin, so I think over time it's possible the color will wear away.
"You don't need to read, Mom, you need to pet me!"
I do use readers quite often now when sewing (I run an online shop for the things I sew), especially when using a seam ripper, sewing by hand, or where I want to be *extra* careful that everything is done *exactly right*.
A fun little hobby for me is making my own jewelry and some of those little jump rings are sooo tiny!! And the beads! And the tiny holes in the beads! I've been having a hard time focusing on the really small stuff but the readers make things so much easier. I'm tempted to get a higher powered pair especially for jewelry making.
I also like to hike and go mushroom hunting, and sometimes the tiny details really need to be studied to ensure you're picking the right mushrooms. I'll be keeping a pair in my backpack. Readers.com readers are backed by their Happiness Guarantee, which means if you are not 100% happy with your reading glasses they will take them back - guaranteed.
Overall, I'm very happy with the quality of the readers from Readers.com and would like to purchase future pairs!
