Unruly Toddler Hair? Twistbands to the Rescue



I have to share with you for this week's Tip Top Tidbit Tuesday, something that has  nothing to actually do with my health, eating, recipes or anything like that. But I want to share a little something that is a big help in our household on a daily basis… Twistbands . You probably are wondering why Twistband is in my Tip Top Tidbit Tuesday, well  let me tell you.


Right now our little one's hair is just so wild,  gets in her face,  and has been a mop for anything and everything from spaghetti to Playdough. The solution is obvious, keep it up! Thus, Twistbands! . I have found that these Twistbands are the perfect hair tie. They are quick to get around the hair, they are nice for larger fingers (daddy fingers), and they look pretty as well.  So we have a no fuss hair tie, which results in no tears, no upset toddler, no goop in unruly hair,  which means happy grown-ups! 



We got these Twistbands in a pack that we bought from LivingSocial, and I had a gift card for $10, so we got them for free.  On the Twistband's website the pack of 12 costs $22. Here is the pack that we got, and boy are they great! I will never get anything else for our little one. 

SOLID FALL HAIR TIE 12 PACK

A great investment.   I would recommend these to anyone out there who has a toddler with unruly hair, especially when that toddler does not like her hair to be put up, haha. Hope you enjoyed my Tip Top Tidbit Tuesday post! And...

Thank you Twistbands! 

If you would like to purchase Twistbands for yourself or your little one, you can HERE.

Until next time…

Health and Fitness Bulu Box Review and Promo Code



I am a very big fan of Bulu Box, and I have been so pleased with the products that I receive in each of my boxes, however, this month I must say, unfortunately, that I feel a little bummed about my box. I have seen some other boxes with some great stuff, including everything that I received in mine. I just have to wonder how Bulu picks boxes for people. Do not get me wrong, I still would say this is a great box to subscribe to, as I have had this box for 4 months now, and not until this box have I been a little disappointed.

After communicating with Bulu, and inquiring about why some boxes receive different, and more samples than others, Bulu Box was very responsive and gave great customer service. I can appreciate this about a company. Each Bulu Box contains about 4-5 premium vitamins and supplements every month. (I got about 7-8 samples in my first box) However, sometimes Bulu Box's brand partners sometimes cannot provide enough samples. So when this happens, Bulu has to choose certain boxes to receive one product over another. To help make sure Bulu gets enough samples in the future, Bulu encorages each Bulugans to fill out their . Sample Surveys.

That being said, here is my...

Help those Nails out- Londontown's kur Nail Treatment



If you have read through my blog you can see a pattern, I really love nail products. So as you will read there is no surprise why I like these products that I recently tried from Londontown. 

If you have not heard of Londontown let me tell you a little bit about it. The founder of Londontown started this company based on a family remedy that her grandmother used to use. Her grandmother, who resides in England used a blend of flower oil and used it to help protect hands and nails. And from that remedy, and some inspiration came the Londontown kur Nail Treatment System. 


kur is a great nail treatment line that has been developed as a natural and holistic approach to restoring, strengthening and hydrating nails and cuticles. 





Now on to the good stuff. Here are a couple products that I have had the opportunity to try from Londontown. 



kur: Strengthening Lacquer Remover



This nail lacquer remover from was made to take the polish off your nails without the harsh side effects. This polish remover also help to hydrate and strengthen the nails with the help of the natural ingredients that it is made with.  The key ingredient, Rapeseed Oil, helps heal brittle and cracked nails, while providing hydration.  This kur formula also added Garlic extract, to help strengthen and harden weak and brittle nails. 

I am loving this nail polish remover. It worked very well, and I did not have to keep adding more of the remover to my cotton ball for every nail, which sometimes can be the problem when using other brands. The other great thing about the kur: Strengthening Lacquer Remover is that it is acetone free. The only con that I could find, at all, about this formula was that you could smell the Garlic extract just a tad, which was a little strange. However, I am very impressed by this product, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good lacquer remover. 


Next...



kur: Restorative Nail Cream



The first thing I have to say about this is amazing. I have had this for a couple weeks now, and have been using it at least two times week, and I love how it makes my nails and fingers feel. This nail cream works to help replenish deteriorated nail protein, and help them get back into good health. This nail cream is also made with Rapeseed oil, but also has the added benefits of primrose oil, cucumber extract, Chamomile extract, and other ingredients, all working together as a natural treatment to help the nails. 



I think this nail cream is great, it also works as a great hand moisturizer as well. This nail creme comes with some super soft moisturizing gloves as well, as it is recommended to use this cream before you go to bed and wear the gloves on before going to bed. I have not used the gloves. but really think the nail cream has really helped out my nails health.

I had never heard of Londontown's kur nail treatment line before now, but I am really glad I did. I am very pleased with these products and think that they are great to add to my nail regiment. My nails definetly needed the help. 


If you are interested in learning more about Londontown and their kur nail treatment, along with other kur nail line products, you can find more information HERE. The kur: Strengethening Lacquer Remover costs $18.00 and the Resotrative Nail Cream Costs $35.


Until next time…

Goodies Co. Taster's Box Review



Goodies Co. Taster's Box is a subscription box that sends out 5-7 tasty snacks for only $7 per month. Getting to try out new snacks is like an adventure, so much fun. I am excited to share my first Goodies Co. Taster's Box with you this month.

MAY GOODIES TASTER'S BOX



NICO COCONUT WATER


This Nico coconut water went right to use the minute we got it. My other half uses it in his protein shakes every morning, it adds a little more taste to the drink. While I am not the biggest fan of coconut water, it taste great in the protein shake. 

BEANITOS BEAN CHIPS


The chips that I got in my Goodies Taster's Box were Original. These are chips made out of black beans, which sound a bit strange, but they are quite tasty. A little salsa and you have quite the tasty snack. These chips are also Vegan and Gluten Free.

WHOLLY GUACAMOLE

I have tasted this guacamole before, and while it is not as good as the homemade kind, it is still very good. This months Goodies Taster Box came with a free coupon for one Wholly Guacamole and a Bag Clip. To be honest, I was really excited for the Bag Clip. You can never have too many bag clips!


BRONCO BOB'S ROASTED MANGO AND CHIPOTLE SAUCE


This sauce will be perfect on some chicken breast and then grilled on the BBQ. While my other half is a bit picky about his food, I am always up for a new taste. So looks like I might have to get my hands dirty and do a little barbecuing soon.  I am excited to give this a try. 

NUMI MOROCCAN MINT TEA


This really has been a tea month in the boxes that I have been receiving. However, it is perfect because I love a good cup of tea. Best of all I love mint tea. I have tried Numi tea before, but not the Moroccan Mint. I am sure this is just as tasty as the other kinds I have tasted. This tea also came with a $1.00 off coupon. Whoo hoo!

CALIFORNIA OLIVE RANCH OLIVE OIL


I took a sneak peak on what others received in their Goodies Taster's Box before I got mine, and I have to admit I was really excited about this item. There is nothing better than cooking or grilling with olive oil. I have never tried California brand before. I will be for sure getting some use out of these two sample packets. 

KATHIE'S KITCHEN SUPER SEEDZ PUMPKIN SEEDS


We used to always bake our pumpkin seeds after we were done carving our pumpkins, however, they never tasted as tasty as these pumpkin seeds. These are quite the tasty snack. Great addition to the Goodies Taster's Box.

SOUR POWER STRAWS


Nothing finishes a box off better than a little treat. I am not the biggest fan of sour candy, but I most definitely know many people who are. These Sour Power Straws came in Pink Lemonade and Blue Raspberry. They look very good, I am just not sure I can handle the sourness. 

Can you believe that all these goodies only cost $7 per month? What a deal! Overall, I am very pleased with this months box. Just the Nico Coconut water alone is about $5 in the stores. I think that the Goodies Co. Taster's Box is a very fun box, and it is great for the whole family. I cannot wait too see what is in store for future months. 

How did you like the Goodies Co. Taster's Box this month? If you are not already a subscriber to Goodies Co. Taster's Box you can learn more HERE or sign up HERE. If you are interested in skipping the waiting line to sign up (does not take long to get on the list, FYI) send me a comment, and the first one can have my Promo Code to skip the line. 


Until next time…

Spring Fling - Ipsy May Glam Bag



One of my favorite subscriptions to receive each month, IPSY Glam Bag.  This month I thought it was very interesting to see how many different glam bags were circulating around.  Previously it seemed that everyone was getting the same products in each glam bag, but not this month. This month Ipsy seemed to switch it up a little, which I really like.

May Ipsy Glam bag’s theme was Spring Fling, and it included items that centered around great spring colors and great products to match.

My May Ipsy Glam Bag



MACADAMIA HEALING OIL TREATMENT


Oil for the hair has been a popular item in many of my subscription boxes lately, but I really like them so I cannot complain. This Macadamia Healing Oil is said to be a great therapeutic oil to nourish the hair. I tend to get really frizzed out hair, so this is perfect for me.

PACIFICA COCOCUT CRUSHED PEAL 
LUMINATING BODY BUTTER


Anything coconut just makes me think of a tropical island in the sun. This body butter smells amazing, as most Pacifica products do. This body butter will be perfect for the summer in tank tops, shorts and dresses, and will be great in giving my skin that extra shimmer. Very excited about this item in this month’s Glam Bag!

YABY CONCEALOR


I am a sucker for a good concealer, and Yaby worked very well. It seemed that Ipsy picked out the perfect color for me. Yaby’s Buff concealed those blemishes perfectly!

JUICE BEAUTY  REFLECTING GLOSS


First of all this lip gloss smelled so good; Like a fruity vanilla.  It is interesting that Juice Beauty gloss is made out of Goji berries and Agave Nectar, this explains the delicious smell.  My Juice Beauty gloss was called Champagne and was a perfect nude color! And best of all it was full size!

ZOYA NAIL LACQUER


Getting a great polish always brings a subscription up a notch. Bam, up a notch Ipsy goes! This Zoya color was called Julie, and it was a perfect shimmery pastel violet color, great for the spring.

GLAM BAG


This has to be one of my favorites. Really digging the Chevron pattern and colors!

I do not think I need to tell you again, but I will anyways; I really love Ipsy Glam Bag. It truly does include some the best items in each month’s glam bags.  And overall, I have never been disappointed with any of the products that I have received thus far.

Ipsy costs $10 per month, and it is so worth it. The quality of products is just amazing, and far exceed the cost of the Ipsy Glam Bag received each month.  If you would like to find out more information or subscribe you can HERE.

Until next time…
