Dr. Song Rosehip Seed Oil Review!

Tonight I have a review of another GREAT product from Dr. Song!! Up until I received this, I'd never even heard of using Rosehip oil, so I was definitely interested in testing this skincare item out!! Here's a picture of the product!!

A little bit about the company if you didn't catch my previous post reviewing their Vitamin C serum:
Dr. Song Medical is a cosmetic laboratory that originally created products for doctors, other professionals, and medical facilities. All of their products are made in the United States and approved by the FDA. With the creation of Amazon, it enabled them to distribute their high quality, professional products to regular consumers like me and you. :) So you know they've got to be super high quality if their making products for doctors! Right?!

Like the Vitamin C serum I reviewed, this is another high quality product!! I love that the ONLY ingredient in it is 100% pure and Organic Rosehip Seed oil, and that its 100% all natural. I don't really care for putting tons and tons of nasty chemicals on my face, and I'm afraid of breaking out since I try out SO many different things every month, so this was pretty much a win for me. This oil is made from extracting the oil out of Rose bush seeds, and it keeps all of it's essential fatty acids in it, so that it's a GREAT moisturizer for your skin! It's super lightweight, not scented at all, it just smells like a really natural moisturizer. It isn't OVERLY greasy, even though it's an oil, and it's really great!

I've used this product as a moisturizer for my face about three times now, and I've seen significant improvement in the peeling that my skin has been experiencing due to the sudden change in the weather here in Georgia. Apparently, you can also use it to heal up your dry and brittle fingernails, and as a moisturizer for your hair! I think I will definitely try using it these ways as well, since my hair is so damaged and so are my nails! I will let you know of my progress!! This comes in a HUGE bottle, and will last me forever! Also, apparently, if you store Rosehip seed oil in the refrigerator, it lasts much longer than if you didn't!

Happy Moisturizing!!

Vita Nut Milk Bag Review and Information!

About a month ago I got the opportunity to review the coolest thing! It's called a Nut Milk Bag and you can make your own drinks like Almond Milk, Cashew Milk (Who knew?!), Juices, Cold Brew Coffee, and MORE! Who knew that you could save your precious month just by buying almonds and making Almond milk yourself at home, instead of buying the expensive stuff at the store?! I didn't, and I'm allergic to milk so this is great for me! Here's some photos!
Unlike some cheaper made bags you can buy online, this one by Vita is made with a top quality ultra fine mesh. It's non clogging and lays flat to dry so it doesn't build mold and become unusable! It strains out all the pulp and gunk so you only have to strain things once! Awesome right?!
It's also super easy to make all kinds of different drinks and you don't even have to mess up your blender so spend top dollar on a high end appliance to make your own juices. I also REALLY love my Iced coffee, so the idea of being able to make my own cold brew coffee is amazing! 
AND the BEST part is, if you're new to making your own Nut Milks and using these bags, it comes with a FREE EBOOK to get you started on your trip to DIY milk/juice/coffee making! This recipe guide is filled with tons of delicious sounding recipes that I can't WAIT to try out for myself. Especially the Cashew milk one. I love Almond and Soy milk, but Cashews are my favorite nuts, so I bet I'd like it even better. It's definitely pretty cool in my opinion!

Once I try out some of the recipes, I will post them on here with my opinions on them! I seriously can't wait! The only thing I've tried out so far is making my own coffee, and I, for one, can say that it serious filtered out every grain of coffee, and you really don't have to strain it more than once! It's definitely really awesome!!

Happy October! Maybe I can figure out a way to make some Apple Juice with this thing to make some Apple Cider or something!! YUM!

Eco At Heart Stainless Steel Drinking Straws Review AND GIVEAWAY!!

So the other day I got approved to test and review something that I have been wanting to try for basically EVER. I am SO SO SO excited to bring you this review because they are AMAZING!!!!!!

Today I want to tell you about these BRAND new Stainless Steel Straws from Eco at Heart. I, personally, am a straw junkie. Ever since I was a little kid I have hoarded straws. I love them. I use them in all of my drinks, so basically this was the perfect campaign for me to be a part of!!
Here's some pictures provided by the company for your viewing pleasure! :)



I seriously love these things. It is such a better and GREENER option than using regular hoarded plastic straws. PLUS you can even FREEZE them to keep your drink cold!! How awesome is that?!?! They are quite large, which makes them PERFECT for smoothies and milkshakes and other thick drinks. I use them in everything though. AND my favorite part is, and this may sound silly, but they even come with a brush to clean them with. WE ALL KNOW how hard it is to clean out straws... lol :D These are amazing, EPIC, GENIUS! And if the package I received wasn't going to last me FOREVER, I'd purchase a zillion more. I love them! AND to top it off they come with a free Ebook full of awesome recipes!!! :D What more can a smoothie/energy drink/frappuccino lover want?

I love them so much I made my own special picture in photoshop!
 LOL
