Calily Life Charcoal Body Scrub

My Confession:

This stuff is pretty amazing. I have always been skeptical about charcoal anything after a disastrous charcoal powder incident *shudders*. I have recently found a love of body scrubs. Sugar scrubs are my favorite compared to the salt scrubs, BUT, I am a "sweet" kinda gal. The salt scrubs kinda sting if there are any cuts on your body or hands. I was really surprised this salt scrub didn't give me that stinging feeling.  I don't really have many body imperfections that need "clarified". I mainly got this product for the exfoliation. I do have eczema though and thought this would be perfect for those spots. My first impression was dang it's a lot of oil. OK, so I'm gonna tell on myself a little.  SHAKE IT UP!  Rule number one when using most of these products ALWAYS shake it. So after shaking it up, the oil was evenly distributed and it wasn't quite as oily =) . The second thing I noticed was the grape smell. It was so sweet. It wasn't loud at all. While preparing to use this product I was mentally preparing myself for the charcoal mess that comes with a charcoal product. No mess, well, very little mess. Most of the color was washed away. However, it did leave an oily feel to my shower floor so definitely use caution and make sure to take fall precautions. I loved the exfoliation of this product. It wasn't super harsh and easily soaked into my skin. Again it is a bit more oily than I like so I rinsed off a little extra. Though oily, It left my skin feeling so soft, smooth, and silky. My hubby even complimented me on freshly shaved legs (confession: I didn't shave, SHH ). So yes this product is great to add to your beauty regimen. I will definitely keep it in mine to help that dry skin eczema issue. It also fights aging by reducing wrinkles and dark spots. It's all natural organic ingredients help to keep this product hypoallergenic. Even this most sensitive skin should be able to use without issues.

Calily Life Teeth Whitening System

I have somewhat nice teeth (or so I like to think). However, no matter how straight and nice they are, I'm still very conscious of the discoloration. I have always been a soda sipper, Cappucino gal, and tea drinker. To add to that, I was a smoker for many years (smoke free for 5 years now, YAY ME!). All of my favorite vices have taken their toll on my teeth. They are stained from all the dark liquids. I don't even like to give a toothy smile because I worry people will think I haven't brushed. I have tried many, MANY over the counter toothpaste and mouthwash's that promise whiter teeth. SURPRISE, none worked. I was actually surprised to get a chance to sample this product. It was something that I needed however due to trying so many things I was skeptical, to say the least. 

So I received this kit about a week ago. It has very easy instructions, so that part was a time saver. It tells you literally step by step what to do. It comes with all necessary equipment. Each item was clearly marked as to its purpose in the treatment. There is a little prep work before using the kit. Basically, you are just form fitting the mouth trays to your mouth. Be careful with this part, you can burn your gums. Check the heat of the mouthpiece before inserting into your mouth. after the prep work, the actual treatment part can be done for 30 minutes to an hour. I do it for 30 minutes. There is also a small light that you have to use with the treatment, it's also inserted into your mouth. The kit comes with some Vitamin E swabs that help with the irritation. I experienced some minor irritation but not much. The Vitamin E really helps, do NOT skip that step. The last step is the Remineralization Gel. This will help with all that sensitivity. It's not as time consuming as the other steps. 

So have I seen a difference? Not yet. I think it's too early to tell but will update when I finish my treatment. All in all, I have high hopes for this product and I feel like it will help me whiten my teeth, it's just not gonna happen over night.

Diamond Bird Feeder

My little Jojo loves to watch the little red birds outside of our house. There are usually two of them. Many believe that these little red birds are past loved ones who have come to visit. Anytime we go outside to play, sure enough, the birds show up and you hear them chirping. We told her they are both of her grandma's visiting her. She says it sounds like they are calling her pretty. To a 4 year old's imagination, this means a lot. So we let her believe whatever she wants. We sadly had to have to tree's cut down that the little red birds always stayed in. We have talked about getting a window bird feeder for some time so that she can watch her "grandma birds" more often. We hope to entice them with some feed. I was given an opportunity to test the product out and it was perfect for what we had talked about getting. It suctions to the window with 4 suction cups. These are very heavy duty. My hubby positioned it in the wrong place and had a heck of a time getting it off to move. The tray pulls out for easy cleaning and filling. It will hold about 4 cups of seeds. The tray has 3 different compartments. there are two on each side with drain holes for the seed and a middle compartment for water. It has a small piece of plastic on the edge for the birds to have more of a ledge for standing. Now that we have it up and set in place, I am super excited to get the bird seed and watch for our little birdie friends to come back.
