My Not So Perfect Lyfe

 

The Mint-X rodent repellent trash bag is the EPA approved and patented trash bag that will repel raccoons, rats and other rodents yet remain perfectly safe for human handling. Mint-X trash bags are proven effective at repelling rodents because an all natural, mint scented fragrance is added to the plastic during the manufacturing (extrusion) process. Mint-X offers a solution to all businesses that are challenged with maintaining sanitary conditions. Mint-X will eliminate rats, rodents and other pests from basements, curbsides and alleys of apartment buildings keeping tenants confident in management's ability to maintain a clean building. Mint-X trash bags can help keep the public parks beautiful by preventing rats, rodents and other pests from spreading garbage and disease where people are sitting, playing and eating. Any company engaged in food processing and preparation can benefit from making sure that rats, rodents and other vermin will not penetrate the trash bags while waiting for sanitation pick up. Any large complex like schools, universities, prisons, corporations that serves hundreds or thousands of meals per day must contain their garbage to prevent exposure to rats, rodents, raccoons and other pests that penetrate trash bags.  

I am very impressed with these trash bags. I love the mint smell and they help mask trash odors. Since using these trash bags I have not had any animals trying to get in my garbage. They are strong and can hold a lot of trash.

  SeabuckWonders Launches New Ultimate Hair, Skin & Nails

The Only Hair, Skin & Nails Supplement in U.S. to Feature Both Biotin and Sea Buckthorn Oil with Rare Omega-7

 
CHICAGO, IL – MAY 13, 2015 – Today, SeabuckWonders, the maker of Sea Buckthorn health supplements and personal care products, unveiled its new Ultimate Hair, Skin & Nails supplement. It is the only Hair, Skin & Nails product to feature both Biotin and Sea Buckthorn Oil with rare Omega-7 for U.S. consumers. The vegan, 100% natural and gluten-free supplement supports healthy complexion, strong nails and shiny hair for lasting, healthy beauty.
 
“We are thrilled to introduce new SeabuckWonders Ultimate Hair, Skin & Nails,” said James Liu, Founder of SeabuckWonders. “As the first company to introduce Sea Buckthorn to the United States over 20 years ago, it was only natural that we be the first in the U.S. to introduce a superior Hair, Skin & Nails product that combines Biotin and Sea Buckthorn Oil with Omega-7.”
 
The best way to fight brittle hair, skin and nails is with cellular support, as external remedies do not get to the root of the problem. With the unique combination of Sea Buckthorn Oil and Biotin, SeabuckWonders Ultimate Hair, Skin & Nails provides numerous benefits in one.
 
Benefits of Biotin & Sea Buckthorn
Biotin is a B vitamin that helps improve the keratin protein structures in hair, skin and nails for natural strength and softness. It also helps prevent hair loss, drying or scaling skin and other symptoms associated with B vitamin deficiencies.
 
Sea Buckthorn is a “super fruit” harvested from harsh conditions in the Tibetan Himalayas that is super charged with powerful antioxidants, Omegas 7, 3, 6, and 9, and more than 190 phyto-nutrients. Sea Buckthorn helps promote skin hydration, elasticity and regeneration. It also helps protect the skin from UV-induced stress and can support other various skin conditions. Specifically, the rare Omega-7 in Sea Buckthorn is known for its age-defying and cell membrane supporting properties, helping skin maintain its normal cell structure. Antioxidants found in Sea Buckthorn also play an important role in age defying by fighting free-radical damage that leads to fine lines and wrinkles, while Vitamins A and E provide excellent support for a healthy, bright complexion. Omega 3, another key nutrient found in the oil, helps maintain scalp health and keeps the hair and scalp hydrated. All the Omegas – 7, 3, 6, and 9 – are responsible for providing moisture.
 
SeabuckWonders Ultimate Hair, Skin & Nails includes a 30-day supply of 60 softgels that will retail for $34.99 starting in late May.

The entire SeabuckWonders collection of supplements and personal care products includes Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil, Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil, Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil softgels, and Omega-7 Complete softgels, as well as a Facial Cream, Body Lotion, Exfoliating Cleanser and Deep Hydrating Serum. The line is available at select Whole Foods and specialty stores nationwide.

Introducing “Oil-Pulling Revolution,” a new book that combines ancient teachings and modern techniques to incorporate this healthy habit into your daily routine. And it only takes 5-20 minutes a day.

I have been using coconut oil for so many things such as bulletproof coffee, in my hair, skin moisturizer, and swishing in my mouth. This book is very helpful and has a lot of great tips. I have been oil pulling off and on for the past year. I have noticed a huge difference in my skin and teeth. My teeth are so much whiter.

I do a lot of cooking at home.With cooking comes a lot of cleaning. My oven definitely gets neglected as I hate cleaning it out. COOKINA recently gave me the chance to test two of there products. For review I received COOKINA cusine and COOKINA gard.

COOKINA Cuisine is ideal for use on baking sheets and pans. Bonus scour pad for easy cleaning.Alternative to aluminum foil, parchment and wax paper, keeps your oven and baking trays clean. Suitable for microwaves, gas/electric ovens.

 

COOKINA Gard is an alternative to aluminum foil, it holds no odor. Fits any size oven; can be cut to desired size. Suitable for gas ovens, electric ovens, and microwaves.
Catches messy spills and splatters and makes sure that you never have to clean the bottom of your oven again. You only need to wipe it clean or wash it in warm soapy water. It’s ready to be used again. Never clean the bottom of your oven again! 

I am highly impressed with COOKINA products! I love that the products are reusable so I will save money from not having to buy aluminum foil and parchment paper. 

I used the COOKINA products when I baked my bacon in the oven for my cauliflower casserole. I love that it was easy clean up afterwards and I did not have to worry about the bacon grease making a mess.

I LOVED wearing headbands as a little girl. I also remember the headaches I got from wearing them! I recently discoverd The Savvy Coconut and was thrilled when she allowed me the opportunity to try out one of her headbands.

 

I chose the colorful aztec as I am obsessed with mint green and bright pink colors. 

 The fabric is a lightweight spandex, non-fraying, single layered, breathable, absorbs sweat, stretchy, and is foldable to make the band as thin as you like. They measure 18 inches long and stretch up to 24 inches around the head. The band is 3.5 inches wide in the front, and tapered in the back. They are very easy to clean, just hand wash cool and air-dry for best results! I am very impressed with my headband. I have not had any headaches and its very comfortable. Its very stylish so I can wear it anytime, anywhere! I have wore it while working out, applying/taking off my make up, and on days where I just want my hair out of my face. I will definitely be purchasing more!

 Summer is finally here  and for me that means sweaty, oily skin. I have tried a few facial towelettes in the past but most dried out my sensitive skin. I was very anxious to test Burt's Bees Cucumber & Sage Facial Cleansing Towelettes.

 I must say I am very happy with how thick the towelettes are. They are super soft so its very gentle on my sensitive skin. They smell sooooo good! I wear make up a few days a week so I was anxious to see how it would do especially with removing my mascara. It took a little bit of scrubbing to get my make up off but did not leave my skin feeling irritated. My skin is left feeling clean and refreshed after using the towelettes. I am very happy with them and will be purchasing more once I run out!
