I installed this app on my daughters iPad and I am thrilled with it!  She is not a child who likes to color with crayons but when she tried this app she did a great job with it.  She is developmentally delayed and the coloring pictures in the app help teach kids to color within the lines - she tried the ladybug and it would not allow her to go outside of the lines and as soon as she was done the screen lit up with horns tooting and confetti flying to show she had done a great job :)  She was so excited! 

There are a lot of coloring pages and the nice part is that portions of them are already colored in so that the kids can finish it up, helping them along.  And then there is the free color part of the app where kids can just pick a color and draw whatever their little heart desires :)  My daughter mostly makes circles LOL but she will get there!  Kids can really express their artistic abilities with this program but it's not overloaded.  It is very easy to navigate and use for ANY kid, even those with disabilities.  It even has an area where kids can save their pictures on a sort of "wall" to display and show off!  I highly recommend this program and it is free!  It doesn't get any better than that :)

Argan Oil: Quick Guide


#BebeLush 
 

I have to say that I have tried one Argan Oil conditioner that I bought in the store but after reading this book I had NO CLUE how much went into making the Oil, where it came from, and just how many benefits it really had!  I am not even sure that what I used was full Argan Oil or how much it had in it.  This book said to be quite careful and really read labels to see how much of the Argan Oil is in the product because if they are really good and full of Argan Oil they will not be cheap.  And after reading about it I can see why.  The Argan nuts are still hand-cracked but the process is so much more streamlined than it was hundreds of years ago.  I did not know that Morocco was where the Oil originated but the story is very interesting and I highly recommend reading about it because I am amazed at the benefits it has that we would never realize.

 

For instance, did you know that it not only works wonders on hair, but also on nails?  It can even be used to treat specific ailments.  I have a product review coming up on true Argan Oil hair conditioner and I cannot wait to try it after reading this book!  You would think that since it is "oil" that it would be greasy - but no.  It is smooth and will NOT build up on your hair like a lot of products.  

I was totally unaware that Argan Oil was a great heat protectant - for people who use curling irons, hair dryers (which is most women) - this product can definitely protect your hair from bad effects.  Anti-Frizz and it's use as a detangler are 2 other great uses I know I love about it!  I have just recently started growing my hair out and it is getting so tangled all the time which drives me crazy.  And tangled hair is the exact reason I will not let my 7 year old daughters hair grow out (she has a lot of sensory issues and hates having her hair brushed or washed so the easier the better!)  This can also be a great product for people who experience hair loss.  And these are just SOME of the benefits for your hair!  There are anti-aging and moisturizing qualities for your skin, natural sunscreen, beard softener for men and much more!  And then the nails - it can help strengthen your nails and you know those nasty little cracks you get around your fingernails???  I get them all the time and so does my mother - well Argan Oil can help that.

 

Some of the ailments Argan Oil is useful in treating are acne, rosacea, and eczema.  It can heal skin infections, burns, scars and you can even use it as a lip balm!  It is really no wonder that they call this stuff "Liquid Gold"!

The author gives quite a few facial and hair mask recipes and this book is very detailed in the history of Argan Oil as well as ALL of the benefits.  She even adds in some celebrities that are always talking about Argan Oil like Eva Mendes.  The book includes a coupon code for $10 off your first bottle of BebeLush Argan Oil and I am definitely going to use it and try some!  I have some pretty bad acne and would love to see how well it works :)

The first thing I noticed about this scale was the slim and simple design. There are no extra buttons or fancy stuff to mess with. You just pull out the tab from the battery are and it turns on! Wait a few minutes for it to calibrate and set it on the floor. Stand on top of it and wait for your results. I was just at the doctors office last week so I knew my weight and it was exactly right!

Product comes packaged very nicely and the box is only about 1 inch thick, so the scale itself will fit into any slim space.  It did come with a sticker on the front that said it can be slippery when wet so you have to take care to not to step on it with wet feet. Also comes with an instruction book with everything you need to get started on your weight loss journey :)

Although it is not required, this scale will connect to your smartphone or Android device and help you keep track of your weight!  This is a VERY durable scale that will hold up to 400 pounds. It also comes in 4 nice colors - Black, Chevron, White and Silver to match any decor. Besides that it is completely smooth just like a flat cooktop stove so you can wipe it down easily with no problem.

I love the bright blue LED backlight because it is VERY easy to read even when on the scale.  And when you step off the scale it will continue to show your weight in case you need to write it down.

Dead Sea Salt Soap

#saltsoap

Yet another superb product from Adovia!  I have now tried 2 products from Adovia containing the dead sea salt minerals and I have not been disappointed in either one.  I have been using this bar of soap for 4 days now and my skin is so soft and I feel so much more clean when I get out of the shower now.  I live in a very old house that has TERRIBLE water with rust and even the water softener does not help.  Since I started using the Adovia products I received my hair and skin has been so much better!  Using this soap has actually even helped reduce my acne.

This soap smells so clean and fresh; comes in a regular size bar and is a very silky smooth white color.  The moment I opened the box from Amazon I could smell it and it was like heaven :)  I love body products that are not heavily perfumed but just smell wonderfully fresh.  You can most definitely smell the ocean in Adovia products, and of course with all of the minerals from the Dead Sea Salts it is always good for your skin. 

This specific product retails for $11 on Amazon and although it may seem expensive for a bar of soap, the benefits FAR outweigh the costs if you appreciate the healthiness that comes along with using the product :)  Just check out the gorgeous photos of the sea salts that make the products!  Imagine being able to swim in that water every day and the health benefits it would bring!  Then just think of this soap and if you try it you will be hooked!  What are you waiting for????  Go grab some and try it today!!!!

 MY REVIEW

Do you hate having harsh skin, agne or age spots?  Who does?  I am 38 and I have the skin of an acne-ridden teenager.  Oily and lots of acne.  So I thought this would be a great product to try.  I was not disappointed at all.  I have been using it for almost a week now - I rub it on my face, forehead and neck and since I have started doing this my skin has not only cleared up quite a bit but also FEELS better.

The bottle was quite a bit larger than I expected, almost double the size of most bottles I have seen.  I unwrapped it and opened it up.  The first thing was the smell - it was not bad smelling at all, it has a fresh scent and it feels wonderful when it is put on your skin :)  No pain or burning during application occurred.  The serum itself is a milky white smooth and silky liquid.  You just pull out the applicator, drip some of your finger and rub it into your face!  Couldn't be easier to apply and takes less than a minute to do.  I always did it after I would get out of the shower because my face was nice and scrubbed and prepped for the application.

I have tried a LOT of ways to reduce my acne and lines on my face but nothing worked.  I also have extremely sensitive skin and this had no ill effects on my skin at all!  The scent of it helped make you feel good as well, and the softness of my skin has been a great change!  I have also heard a lot of good things about Hyaluronic Acid but this was my first chance to try it, and I can see why people are raving about it :)

All in all I would definitely give this product a HUGE thumbs up!  Give it a shot, it's not super-expensive and you have nothing to lose!  Except maybe some acne or age spots!
