Seneo Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier & Essential Oil Diffuser

Seneo Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier
Essential Oil Diffuser


What a pretty humidifier!  This Seneo Humidifier/Oil Diffuser is as functional as it is pretty!  


I was very impressed when I took this out of the box!  Delighted that I was able to receive this product complimentary to use and share my opinions!  

The first thing to note it, of course, the pretty design.  But this machine has far more to offer than its looks.  The humidifier has a 2.6 L capacity, simply fill with water, and it will run for about 6 hours.  The mist comes out the top, and you have the choice of how much moisture you would like.  This is easily done with the turn of the dial on the front of the unit!


Power light, mist control dial, and light switch

The Seneo Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier provides three functions, use together or turn off what you don't need.  First it's a humidifier with varied mist settings, it's an essential oil diffuser, and it has a light inside, offering 7 different colors.  You can use the light alone, the humidifier alone, or add essential oil to the pop-out section in the back of the unit, and enjoy aromatherapy as you humidify the air in your home.

The essential oil port is in the back of the unit near the on/off switch and contains a cotton pad in which you can place your drops of oil.  It is simple to use, just pop it out and pop it back in.


I have really been enjoying using the Seneo Humidifier, it moisturizes the air in any room, especially at night in the bedroom.  We've enjoyed it in the living room during the day using some lavender oil to soothe and relax, or using peppermint oil for colds and sinus troubles.  It works so well, and really helps clear the dry air in your home.  You can safely use this unit at night as it has an automatic shut off when the water level reaches a certain low.

The base of the unit

Filling the top

The base of the unit has notches so it's easy to fit the top on, makes it pretty self explanatory.  Simply fill the top with water, fit it back on the base, the water flows into the bottom.  Plug it in, turn it on, set your preferred settings, and you're good to go!  

So user friendly and works like a dream!

The only warning that comes with the unit is to NOT put your essential oil in the water tank! 

You can find this unit on Amazon.com

I was sent a complimentary unit to use, share my opinions, and provide honest feedback and an honest review!  I am very happy with my Seneo Humidifier and find myself using this almost every day!







Some views of my unit in use.
You can see the various options, using heavy mist, the lights and how it looks as a nice night light!

Wow!  Need a way to hydrate and nourish your eye area?  Look no further!
Valentia True Glow Eye Cream is loaded with some amazing ingredients to soothe, de-puff, and reduce those fine lines and wrinkles!  


#ValentiaTrueEyeGlowCream

I received a complimentary bottle of Valentia True Glow Eye Cream to use and share my opinions and review.  I'm really happy to share my findings and I love the way this eye cream feels when I apply it and how my skin feels for the rest of the day!  The cream comes in a pretty, fancy white and gold box, in a dark glass bottle, with a very nice pump dispenser.  The product looks and feels luxurious from the packaging to the product.  Valentia has also provided a couple of follow-up emails to give you information about the True Glow Eye Cream and how to get the most of of its use.  The cream is a moderately thick cream, pumps out of the dispenser easily, is a light orange color, and has a light citrus scent.  It is recommended to use twice daily, after cleansing.  I dispense into my palm and dab around my eye area gently.  



It feels very soothing, very nourishing on my skin.  My skin feels hydrated and I have noticed it has reduced the appearance of fine lines around my eyes, especially the 'crows feet' area.  I feel the softness of my skin and find it is not crying out for moisture.

Valentia True Glow Eye Cream has some incredible ingredients that Valentia has shared with me.

Vitamin C - Treats multiple skin issues, brightens and firms
Resistem - "Natures Miracles" plant stem cells repair damaged skin cells and protect skin from stress, leaving your skin fresh and renewed
Organic Rosehip Oil - amps up skin's moisture content, deep nourishment to reduce the appearance of fine lines
Astaxanthin - 600 times more antioxidant power than Vitamin C, increases skin's moisture, smoothes fine lines, and restores elasticity
Amica - botanical herb used for bruising and soreness, stimulates white blood cells to relieve dark circles and puffiness

Some awesome and natural ingredients for your eye skin care!

With Valentia True Glow Eye Cream delivering all the hydration and nourishment I would also like to mention that it does not feel heavy, does not feel oily or greasy!

I think I will keep Valentia True Glow Eye Cream in my anti-aging skin care regimen!  I'm very pleased with the product, the way it makes my skin feel, and the results I am seeing on my skin!

Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum #valentia

Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum


If you're like me - I'm always in search of a great lotion or serum that will lessen the obvious signs of aging!

If that sounds like you - here is a new product you might like to try!  This is my second Valentia product I've tried and I'm very pleased with how the make my skin look and feel!  

My favorite idea about the Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum is the fact that the ingredients are all natural and organic!  I feel I can use the product safely with no worries about what I am putting on my skin.  


It is recommended on the product packaging and description online that you use one or two pumps and apply to your face and neck in the evening, after cleansing.  One or two pumps is more than enough as this lotion goes on smoothly and a little is all you need.  

The serum comes in a nice glass bottle with a pump top.  The pump works well and the packaging and feel of the bottle and pump is first class.  It looks and feels pretty luxurious!  The serum is thin, but not watery, and has a fresh, clean orange citrus scent.  All the contents of this serum are all natural and all have a designed effect on your skin.  

A summary from Valentia product information page:

The serum has the following effects to your skin - 
minimizes fine lines with lactic acid - a natural AHA with plumps fine lines
brightens and corrects with Gotu Kola and Licorice - should lessen scarring and pigmentation
increases oxygen circulation with Wakame Bioferment - a seaweed that helps increase oxygen consumption to detoxitfy and boost antioxidant defense
Aran Oil with is naturally rich in Vitamin E to prevent water loss

This all means you will see renewed texture and tone, deeply moisturized skin, minimization of fine lines and wrinkles, increased elasticity and brighter skin.





Pretty Packaging
Quality Container
Wonderful Serum!





After cleansing in the evening, apply the serum and follow with your moisturizer once absorbed.  
Simple to use!



Luxurious Serum
You only need a small pump or two



Now that you're familiar with the product, here is how it worked for me!  I use it in the evening, and some days I have used it again in the morning.  I have noticed my dry facial skin is thoroughly moisturized - it feels soft and smooth.  I have noticed also the plumping of the skin around my eyes, which in turn minimizes the look of the fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes.  I find the serum makes my skin feel soft, supple, and smooth.  I love that it's all natural, organic, good ingredients giving me this effect!  I will continue to use and I find the product has a positive effect on my face and neck!  I really love the feel of the lotion, the scent is fresh and clean.  My skin absorbs this serum immediately so I know it's working!  I am very happy with the results I have seen in just two short weeks!  I recommend Valentia's Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum.  

I received this product complimentary to use, test, share my opinions, and provide an honest review.   This review is honest, I am very happy with this product! #valentia

Live Infintely Infuser Water Bottle - 32 oz

Live Infinitely Infuser Water Bottle


Great Healthy and Flavorful Way to Get Your Water!
#liveinfinitely

With the warm weather up ahead I'm anxious to get back to drinking my water! I go in spurts, I'm good about it, then I slip.  So I was given the chance to use and review the Forever Fused Live Infinitely Infuser Water Bottle for free!  I jumped at the chance because this bottle is pretty, it's big, and I can add whatever fruit and veggies I want in the infuser tube!  I am happy to report that this is an awesome water bottle and I'm enjoying experimenting with different fruits and fruit combinations!

First off, the bottle comes packaged safely in a nice box and wrapped in plastic.  Once out of the box, you can feel the lightweight bottle and see that it's made well.  All the parts of this bottle work well, fit together, and close up smoothly.

The bottle is the first, it's a lightweight, but not cheap, plastic.  The bottle has a 32 oz capacity.  It has a large rubber grip area, which is slightly indented, for good solid grip and ease of use. 

I selected the purple color, and you can see it's very pretty!  Here is the rubber grip section.

The next step in the infuser bottle use is to fill the tube with your fruit.  This is a large tube with cutouts that reaches to the bottom of the bottle - you can place a lot of fruit in this tube.

Here I am adding lemons.  I put the cut lemons in the tube, the tube has it's own lid, once put on, it rests inside the bottle.  The lid has cutouts to allow water flow when filling.
so far all the parts mentioned are of good quality and fit together well!

After you fill your bottle, there next well though-out piece is the lid.  The lid screws on smoothly, has a rubber gasket for leak prevention.  

Once the lid is on, it has a clear cover that snaps down.  The lid pops up at the push of the button to get a drink!  So the lid doesn't accidentally pop open in your bag, there is a metal clip you place on when not in use or when transporting!  So now you are safe from an accidental leak.  At the top of the lid near the drink spout, the lid has another safeguard - a plastic stopper that covers the drink spout when the lid is down.  Another leak guard.  


I feel like Live Infinitely pretty much though of everything to make using their bottle a pleasant, easy experience.  Lastly, when carrying your bottle, there is a handy little handle to carry it!  


I'm loving the bottle, and it has been my companion to work, in the car, on the go, since I received it!  
The bottle is simple to care for - all parts are dishwasher safe!  And if you want to hand wash - the bottle opening is large enough to fit your hand - so cleaning by hand is easy too!

I'm very happy with this product!  #liveinfinitely

MEDca Shoe Stretcher #shoestretcher


MEDca Shoe Stretcher


I love shoes!  I buy them when I like the look, I buy them when they are comfortable, trendy, a cool color, you name it!  I even buy them when they don't quite fit! (yikes)

So I have a couple pair of booties and a couple pair of pumps that I really like, but can only wear when I know I'm not going to be walking much or wearing them for a very long period.

So when I got the opportunity to review the MEDca Shoe Stretchers pictured above, I was anxious to try them on my slightly unwearable but really lovely shoes!  


These shoe stretchers are really two plastic rounded sides, with an attached screw, that twists into the middle piece, allowing you to adjust how far apart each end is, so that you can slide it into your shoe, tightly, so they can do their stretching job.  It seems like an easy enough task, but it has to be adjusted outside of the shoe, which makes it a little harder. You put the shoe stretchers in and out of your shoes until you finally get to the right length where they fit in tight enough to stretch, but not too tight that they won't fit where you want them, or slide right out.  The ends are a brown, smooth, plastic piece.  What I had trouble with was finding the right distance and getting them in the shoe.  I also had trouble with the smooth finish, which makes them want to slide back up, which isn't going to help your shoe stretch!  It would be easier if you could adjust the stretcher while it was in the shoe.


So, in conclusion, the MEDca Shoe Stretchers work in certain situations, they did stretch my pumps a bit and do feel better when wearing them around the house.  I couldn't get them inside my boots, I just didn't find the right distance where they would fit tight and seem like they would do any stretching of the shoe.  When I did get them in there where they would seem to do good, they would slip.  This might have been due to the felt-like, soft material inside the boot.  

I received this product at a discount to use and test in exchange for my opinions and honest review.

Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask

Refreshing - Plumping - Moisturizing
That is what you get from the 
Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia



#ValentiaUltraPlumpingHydrationMask

Dry Winter Skin?  Want to combat signs of aging?  Looking for plumping hydration?  The Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia might be just what you need!  

I want to first tell you about my skin.  My face can be very dry at any time of the year, but it is much more noticeable, and I feel it much more, in the dry air of fall and winter!  I am also experiencing fine lines and wrinkles, all year long, any day, any time!  So, therefore, I am always on the hunt for a product, or a group of products that will alleviate any and all these issues!

When I was offered the chance to try, use, and review the Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia, I was very interested to do so.  I mean, a woman in my shoes, trying to fight mother nature, a skin care junkie, always hunting for new and better products - of course I want to try this!  Just reading the name of this product piqued my interest and desire to try it!  
Ultra - Plumping - Hydration!  Just what I need!

So, the mask came in a very pretty white, gold-trimmed box, inside was a 4 oz. white tub containing the mask!  Very Simple but Classy Packaging!  The box indicates the following benefits:  Boosts Collagen Production, Increases Skin Radiance, Reduces Fine Lines, Secures Skin Moisture!  Awesome!

The ingredients are listed on the bottom of the box, and on the sides of the box are 6 key natural ingredients and their benefits.  Valentia is giving you so much information!
  Japanese Green Tea - potent anti-oxidants
Aloe Vera - nutrient-rich botanical moisturizer
Organic Rosehip Seed Oil - essential fatty acids to lock in moisture
Silk Protein Amino Acid Blend - increase moisture and help in the production of collagen
Botanical Hyaluronic Acid - penetrates deep in the skin to secure moisture
Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil - wonder berry to diminish sun spots, and fewer lines

These are the facts from the packaging, consolidated by me!  Lots of good information and great natural ingredients!  I just wanted to give some background about the mask before I give my opinion!  And another note, since my purchase - I have received two emails from Valentia giving me more information about their product and how to use and benefit from it.



So,  you will notice upon opening the product is the product's color and it's consistency!  A bright yellow-orange gel-like product!  This mask is cooling when applying - it is recommended to use once per week.  Apply to skin, avoiding eye area, leave on 15-30 minutes, wash off with washcloth and warm water!  The mask is not your usual, it is gel-like, doesn't get dry and tight on your skin, it just moisturizes and gets a bit sticky.  

I have used this product only two times so far, and I am sold!  I love the way it makes my skin feel, it feels soft and nourished!  The skin softness is noticeable for a couple of days!  If you lose moisture, sweat, or are in the sun, you can use this mask more often!  



In this photo (please excuse it!) I have the mask on and it is tingling and moisturizing!  You can see that it is invisible in the photo - it goes on clear and you do not need much, so this 4 oz tub should last quite some time!  I left it on for the full 30 minutes because I wanted the full potential benefits!

I have had a very positive experience with the Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask, and just as the email from Valentia Skin Care - "...using a hydration mask is a fantastic way to replenish skin's moisture and help protect it from further water loss."  And another message from Valentia "...we never use harmful or irritating ingredients in our products."  
I would highly recommend this product!

I was given this product complimentary to use, test, and provide my honest opinion and and honest review.

L'oreal Paris Revitalift Volume Filler

L'oreal Paris Revitalift Volume Filler
VoxBox from influenster!


Wow, what a VoxBox loaded with great L'oreal products!  The complete Volume Filler line!  The volume filler line is a series of products meant to treat and moisturize using the science of hyaluronic acid.  The regimen I received contained the following products.  I'll list the products and what the will do for your skin.  Two products are meant to treat your skin and two products included to moisturize your skin.

Treat
1.  Eye Treatment - to reduce under-eye hollows and sunken shadows.
2.  Concentrated Serum - intensive face serum to replenish skin's fullness.
Moisturize
1.  Day Cream - replenish skins fullness, smooth lines and fine wrinkles.
2.  Night Cream - recover skin's fullness while sleeping, smooth lines and wrinkles.



I have been using these products as directed for about three weeks and I have to say my face feels much softer and looks fuller and smoother.  As directed the products work together to treat and soften your skin, and provide a fuller volume look.  

The eye treatment is what I use first, on a clean face.  A little dot or two under each eye and apply around and under each eye.  Second I use the concentrated serum, just a couple pumps of the container and smooth over face, chin, and neck.  

The unique containers for the eye treatment and serum have a small plastic tip where you can dispense just a small amount.

After using these two products you can use either the day cream or the night cream.  The day cream blends in well and releases any tightness and creates a smooth, silky soft feel to your face.  The night cream is a bit thicker and really moisturizes while you sleep.

I'm a big fan of L'oreal products and this is another great product line!  I received these products free from L'oreal Paris and influenster to use and review and share my thoughts and opinions.
