The Little Bamboo Konjac Sponge


If you have used a Konjac Sponge then you know the great benefits they have for your face. I was sent a 3 pack to review they have active charcoal which is known to deeply cleanse and absorb toxins not to mention other harmful chemicals from your skin. They gently exfoliate the face to bring out the natural shine of your skin by deeply cleaning your pores while eliminating blackheads, dirt and oil. Konjac Sponge is known to balance out the PH of your skin while naturally moisturizing. Konjac Sponge is all natural since they are made from the Konjac root as the main ingredient and naturally purified vegetable fiber with a fine texture that is soft and gentle. You can use this on all skin types’ even sensitive skin. I was send a 3 pack from Little Bamboo to review.

How To Use is simply soften the loofah in warm water and massage face/body with sponge in circular direction, either with only the sponge or with our charcoal soap. After use, rinse and hang to dry; recommended to replace after 2 months of use.
My Opinion: I really like the sponge has its own string attached so I can hang to dry in the shower. I really like that it removes dry dead skin and helps with acne skin. I found when I used an improvement in my skins look.

Collage.com Fleece Photo Blanket


Collage.com lets you design a blanket to put your photos or designs on a totally customizable fleece photo blanket. Add photos from your phone, computer, Facebook, Instagram or our historical photo archive. Create the perfect custom design with our easy-to-use tools. All of their blankets are individually printed in Denver, Colorado on thick, hypoallergenic, 100% polyester fleece. Collage.com uses the latest dye sublimation printing process to ensure your images are super sharp. Fleece, our basic light-weight option, is 1/8 inch thick. The shorter plush ensures extra sharp images. This is a great throw or picnic blanket. Plush Fleece, a snuggly take on the classic, is 1/4 inch thick. Longer plush fibers make this option cuddlier than our standard fleece, but the images are not as sharp.


So Collage.com let me get a blanket size 50”X60” fleece which you can put anything on as photos go as it is personally designed by you. I chose to get my grandmother Mildred who has been deceased a while now as I miss her so much. She was someone you could talk to that listened unconditionally and gave advice when you needed it. The fleece is Printed on fleece or plush fleece, warm, soft, snuggly, durable and machine washable.



My Opinion: The photo does make a nice gift the picture was very large on a blanket which I was not expecting and came out not very clear a bit with white pits I guess you could say and not clear at all very poor quality.

Kobrand Wine and Spirits Holiday Gift Guide 2015

During the upcoming holidays you may want to have some adult beverages at your party. I want to tell you about Kobrand they sell a variety of wine & Spirits which I was sent some to review.

Caposaldo Moscato (SRP$11.99) which comes from the cool, maritime climate of Provincia di Pavia in northern Italy’s Lombardy region. Here the 20-year-old guyot-trained vines benefit from the blend of white marl and chalk soils in the low-yielding hillside vineyards. Grapes are handpicked, and after a temperature-controlled fermentation the wine undergoes a natural second fermentation in autoclave, resulting in a fine, persistent effervescence. With notes of bright golden yellow in color, this wine delivers an assertive bouquet with exotic fruit and spice aromas and a fresh, vivacious and highly polished palate. Enjoy with fresh fruits, fruit pies and tarts.
Caposaldo Sparkling Sweet Moscato(SRP14.99) the grapes grow on the cool hilltops of northern Italy’s Lombardy region, where the northern-lying Alps shield the low-yielding hillside vineyards from harsh weather and the 20-year-old Guyot-trained vines benefit from a superb blend of white marl and chalky soils. During harvest, the fruit is carefully handpicked. With notes of bright gold in color, this sweet wine delivers intense pear, peach and spice aromas and flavors, and fresh, vivacious bubbles. Enjoy with fruit pies and tarts, fruit cobblers or fresh strawberries, peaches or raspberries.
Louis Jadot Pouilly-Fuisse  (SRP $23.99)is a reasonably priced white wine with a crisp, clean taste. With its subtle fruit flavors this wine can be enjoyed with rich holiday meals.
Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon (SRP$39.99) The grapes for the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon come from the finest vineyard sites in the best appellations of Napa Valley, including the Sequoia Grove Estate and Tonella Estate Vineyards in Rutherford, as well as select parcels from top growers, including Morisoli and Beckstoffer in Rutherford, Stagecoach in Atlas Peak, Lamoreaux in the Oak Knoll District and Healy in St. Helena. All fruit is hand sorted before undergoing a cold soak followed by inoculation with French yeast strains. Individual wines are fermented in small batches with daily pump-overs. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation in American oak barrels and is further aged in oak before bottling. Notes include deep ruby in color with intense aromas and flavors of blackberry, red and black cherries and currants interwoven with sweet spice, floral and mineral notes. The palate has a big, round, silky arc with smooth tannins, impeccable balance, and a long, flavorful finish. A versatile food wine, the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with any red meat on the grill, pork tenderloin, heavy cheeses and grilled vegetables.
The Seeker Malbec (SRP$ 13.99) these grapes were discovered at altitude in some of Mendoza’s best terroirs, including the Agrelo and Vistaflores subregions. Vineyards are planted at high density in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, starting above 975 meters (3,200 feet), where the altitude and poor soil result in lower yields and a cooler climate for balanced wines. Grapes are handpicked, destemmed and manually sorted, with only perfectly ripe fruit contributing to Winemaker Didier Debono’s luscious Malbec blend. Cold maceration takes place in stainless steel tanks at 6 to 8°C (43 to 46°F) for four to five days to extract aromatic precursors. Post-fermentation maceration lasts from 7 to 10 days, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged in French oak, followed by a period in bottle before release. The notes are Aromas of fresh red fruit and spice dominate. On the palate, this wine is smooth and robust, with juicy, ripe black cherry flavors culminating in a lingering, spicy finish. Perfectly matched to cured or grilled meats, game, Cajun and Indian-style foods and tinkering with creations .

My Opinion: These can be giving as holiday gift to the wine or foodie. Since the holidays are all about celebrating these are perfect for the party to serve and the prices are very reasonable. The flavors are nice as well.

Vitabath Fragrance Collection Sweet Pink Peppermint and Spice is Nice



As a woman I love to smell but every doctor’s office you go to now has a no perfume sign and I hate to have body odor so using a scented shower gel or lotion is what I now use. When I saw Vitabath had some new fragrances for the holiday season I wanted to try them as their products are sulfate and paraben free. I got the Fragrance Collection 2oz Body Wash & Lotion Carrier with Sweet Pink Peppermint with a playful scent of cool pink candy cane mixed with cheery vanilla and sugary musk. Spice Is Nice is a perfect blend of fresh pumpkin and allspice mixed with delicious cream cheese icing and finished off with notes of rum and maple syrup.


My Opinion: What can I say I love both scents but if I had to choose one it would be Spice is Nice as I love the pumpkin scent a lot. The cute little carrier is great for gift given or if you wanted to break up the set for stocking stuffers that could work as well. 

I Love Vitabath products and would recommend to anyone to try for themselves.
