Hello friends,
Now that the heat of the summer is over the Stink Bugs have started looking for a warm place to call home, and I need to make sure it’s not mine! We used to have a screen door installed in the laundry room but last year the wild Winter winds grabbed and tore it off. Not wanting to install a new door I decided to try the iGotTech Magnetic Screen Door.
After ordering and receiving the Screen Door from Amazon.com, I watched the installation video and read a few of the reviews. Here in Delaware, we have some seriously cold winters and hot humid summers so the Velcro strips and tacks that were included may not be strong enough to hold the screen in place for more than a season. If we still had an awning, which was also torn away, (see the frame pieces in this picture), it would provide additional protection over the screen making it last longer.
Our house is also located in a “wind tunnel” so we will need to add metal strips around the door frame before attaching the screen.
Hubby agreed to help me with the install, but he had to leave town for the weekend, but if you want to see how to install the iGotTech Magnetic Screen, watch this YouTube video.
I just want to keep the Stink Bugs out of the house!
Is this something you might find useful for your home?

Hello friends,
as you know, I am always on the look out for beauty products that are not only made of natural ingredients but are also non-irritating to my skin. I remember using puffs and scrubbers when I was younger, but now I tend to shy away from them because they can be too harsh for my face.
I recently ordered this pureSOL 100% Natural Konjac Facial Sponge from Amazon and my first impression was one of concern because it was very hard. However, after soaking it for a few minutes in the sink it became fully soft.
Soaked in the sink for a few minutes turned this hard sponge into a very soft one.
pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge is 100% natural and eco-friendly, free of parabens, sulphates & chemicals, is biodegradable, cruelty free and vegan.
I only needed to use a small amount of my favorite facial cleanser and along with the pureSOL sponge it cleaned my face gently with no irritation.
The pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge gently exfoliates while deep cleansing and removing any toxins and impurities, leaving a radiant complexion. It is extremely soft and gentle for everyday skin care. Great for all skin types.
The natural woven fibers of the sponge gently massage the skin and stimulate blood flow. It detoxifies and encourages skin renewal while balancing the skins pH, leaving your skin extremely clean and refreshed!
The added BAMBOO CHARCOAL contains activated carbon and essential minerals to deeply cleanse and absorb excess sebum, toxins and other harmful chemicals from your skin.
pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge comes with an EASY-TO- HANG SUCTION HOOK, perfect for hanging in a well-ventilated space so it’s dry and ready for you to use the following day. It is recommended that you replace the sponge every 2-3 months and because it’s biodegradable, just throw it into your plants or garden soil.
You can order your own pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge today from Amazon.com and it will ship to arrive quickly to your home or place of business.

Hello friends,
well it has been a little over two weeks since I started my weight loss journey and am proud to report that I am down 4 lbs already – Yay me! I’m not one who likes to weigh in every day even if it’s thought to be more of a motivator if you do.
We keep our bathroom scale downstairs in the powder room which is another reason why I don’t step on it daily – “out of sight – out of mind” Now that we have the Eat Smart Precision MaxView Digital Scale I am more inclined to do so not only because it’s so precise, but because it has a large LCD display that I can read without my glasses.
I let Tayair try out the scale first and was shocked to see that since his surgery he had lost 8 lbs, but was more shocked when I stepped on it and realized that I must have found them! That is definitely more of a reason to put down the wine and bread and pick up the dumbbells and jump rope.
I like this EatSmart Precision MaxView Bathroom Scale and have decided to move it upstairs into our bathroom as more of an incentive to reach my goal weight before my 53rd birthday on the 20th.
The EatSmart Precision ViewMax Bathroom Scale has a 400 lb capacity, and comes with 2 year Guarantee. The scale requires 2 AAA batteries which are included and it was ordered and shipped quickly from Amazon.com.
What motivates you to keep your weight in check?

Hello friends,
you know that saying, “big things come in small packages”? Well that is how I would describe this Olixar OmniHolder Universal In Car Mount.
It’s small, lightweight and is the perfect size for “Bloggy Buggy’s” dashboard yet it’s sturdy enough to keep a grip on my Galaxy S4 Smartphone. It has a padded extending arm to fit other phone models so I can let one of my mini men use it on occasion. I used the adhesive plate to mount it onto the dash but there is also a suction cup so they can put it onto their windshield.
It’s also small enough as not to be a distraction while I’m driving and can be rotated or tilted in case I want to use the GPS feature on my phone.
What I like most about the car holder is that once I put my phone into it, it stays put. I don’t have to worry about my phone falling onto the floor on sliding off the seat when I need to brake hard. It stays visible yet out of reach which keeps me from checking email and social media at stop lights, which is a bad habit that I need to break.
The car holder was ordered and shipped quickly from Mobile Fun.com and I am seriously thinking about getting one for my mini men as a Christmas Stocking Stuffer that way I’ll always have mine in the car.
Let’s Chat, do you check your Smartphone when stopped at a red light?

Hello friends,
most of you know that hubby was diagnosed with small intestinal cancer for which he had surgery on March 31st. His last two appointments have shown no signs of it, but he will still need to have blood tests taken every few months.
He actually started having digestive problems at the age of 45, hence the annual colonoscopies before the cancer was detected. However, even now with the removal of it he still experiences bowel problems.
Varies laxatives, both prescribed and over the counter fill our medicine cabinet but nothing seems to work all the time. He eats plenty of fruits and veggies, very little to no red meat and is back to exercising, however, the problems still exists.
Now that I’ve the opportunity to order Green Tree Life Sciences “The Amazing Miracle Cleanse” from Amazon.com, I’m hoping it might actually be the miracle cleanse that works. This all natural detox and colon cleanse dietary supplement is supposed to provide results in 12-24 hours to those suffering from constipation, gas and bloating.
The Amazing Miracle Cleanse can be taken as needed or as a 15-day cleanse detoxification when taking 2 capsules a day for 2 weeks. I’ll check with hubby to see if he wants to give it a try, who knows, this just might be just what his colon needs. If he does and it works, I’ll come back to this post with the results.
Have you ever tried a cleanse? If not, but are interested, use the code TOMOSON5 to receive a $10 discount on your order of The Amazing Miracle Cleanse.

Hello friends,
if you’ve spent anytime in the car listening to the radio, I’m sure you’ve heard the commercials for Raspberry Ketones. They are advertised as being a proven fat burner and appetite controller, even Dr. Oz has labeled them “Fat Burner in a Bottle“
I now have an opportunity to try them after ordering a bottle from Summit Nutritions via Amazon.com. I plan on beginning the regiment on August 20th, exactly 1 month before my 53rd birthday at which time I will post the results.
Raspberry Ketones are FDA approved and are designed to burn body fat which is then converted into energy. One tablet taken twice a day, 30 minutes before a meal will act as an appetite suppressant. This combined with a balanced diet (no more brownies and cakes) along with regular exercise I should lose weight, wish me luck!

Hello friends,
If you recall, last year my GYN diagnosed me with being Vitamin D Deficient, so I started taking Vitamin D pills. If you are anything like me, you don’t like taking hard-to-swallow pills and may take softgels instead.
I had seen Gummy Vitamins on the shelves at our local drug stores but always felt they were a bit juvenile for a woman of my age!
Thanks to @Smiley360, I was able to receive ten sample packs to review. Included with the samples was a $2.00 off coupon and a Pedometer, which I wear at the office as a reminder to get up and walk, I definitely don’t want a “blogger’s butt”.
These Caltrate Gummy Bites are Calcium & Vitamin D3 Supplements which supports strong bones, another health concern for aging women. The Gummy Bites are not those stick-to-your-teeth bites which I though they would be, you know something similar to candy gummy worms.
They come in three flavors, Black Cherry, Orange and Strawberry and have now become part of my daily vitamin regiment.
Anyone over the age of 13 can take these supplements 2x per day with or without food but make sure to first check with your physician before taking any new medication or supplement.
Caltrate Gummy Bites can be purchased online @Amazon.com or at your local Walgreens, Walmart, Target or CVS. Click here to receive your $2.00 off coupon.
I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. Opinions are 100% my own. I am not a health care professional so please check with your physician before taking any over-the-counter products.

Hello Friends, I hope all is well in your world. Now that I am over the age of 50, I have started thinking more and more about the skin I’m in especially my face. We’ve all heard that too much sun exposure is bad for your skin – too late, from 1976 to 1979 I’d bake every summer at Rehoboth Beach and even now I enjoy laying in the summer sun but not as long. Drink more water – I wish I could drink the recommended 32 oz, or is that 64 ounces daily, heck I’m lucky if I drink 8 oz every 3 days, that is of course unless coffee and wine counts.
Get plenty of rest – who me, the person that doesn’t get into bed until after midnight and then tosses and turns because my mind won’t shut down? Don’t smoke – too late, although I am a quitter, 5 years clean, (yeah me) I did smoke for over 30 years. Now more than ever I have to pay closer attention to how I treat my skin to avoid any further damage.
I recently ordered a bottle of Foxbrim 100% Pure Argan Oil from Amazon.com and started using it as a moisturizer for my face. After removing my makeup and cleansing my face, I put 2-3 drops on the back of my hand then using my fingertips apply it to my face, eyelids and lips.
Foxbrim 100% Pure Argan Oil is unbelievably light, easily absorbs into my face leaving it feeling nourished. Now that I’ll be spending more time in the sun, this product will definitely be up front and center as part of my daily moisturizing and makeup routine.
Foxbrim 100% Pure Argan Oil can also be used a hair treatment and pre-shave oil, but I think I’ll let my mini men try it for those purposes then I’ll let you know what they think.
How do you love the skin you’re in?

Hello Friends, I have a question for you, what is your favorite night of the week? For me it is definitely Friday nights because after I get home and have dinner it’s time to sit back and relax and have some “pamper me” time.
Pedicures and facials are my all time favorite at home spa treatments and last week I had the opportunity to review the Dead Sea Mud Mask by Pure & Essential Minerals. As part of this Tomoson campaign I received a product code so that I could place an order for a jar of the Dead Sea Mud Mask directly from Amazon.com.
The night before receiving the Dead Sea Mud Mask I got a confirmation email which also contained detailed instructions on how to apply the product. After dinner I was anxious to get started, so I grabbed my head band, removed my make-up with a cleansing cloth then washed my face with warm water.
After washing my face and patting it dry I began applying the Dead Sea Mud Mask. I only put on a medium layer making sure to avoid my eyes and lips, then washed my fingers. I was surprised that it went on smoothly with no gritty feeling which is common in some mud masks.
I immediately smelled the Eucalyptus Oil, which gave me a slight tingling sensation, yet there was no major skin irritation or redness and all the other ingredients are organic in nature.
I kept the mask on for 15 minutes, and while waiting I read the side of the jar which contained facts about the Dead Sea. Interesting fact: The Dead Sea is located between Israel and Jordan and is 1400 feet below sea level which is the lowest point on the earth’s surface.
The Dead Sea Mud Mask is supposed to draw out impurities, toxins and excess oils to leave the skin feeling soft and clean. Dead Sea minerals nourishes and restores skin’s vitality, stimulates and improves blood circulation, resulting in a wonderful glow.
After 15 minutes I rinsed my face with warm water using circular motions to exfoliated the skin, then used the wash cloth to remove some remaining mud. It was a quick and non messy process that made my face feel smoother even the next morning I noticed a difference.
I splashed my face with cold water which seals the pores, used a little moisturizer then poured a glass of Sweet Red. This is definitely going to be part of my Friday night “pamper me” regiment to keep my skin silky smooth all summer long.
What is your favorite “pamper me” time product?

Hello Friends and Welcome to the Weekend – oh, how I love the sound of that word…weekend…weekend…weekend! I know that I previously stated that I was going to enjoy each day to the fullest and not live solely for the weekend, but it’s so hard not to especially in the summer! Can you believe we are already at the end of the first week of June?
By now most of you have probably already seen or read the reviews for the #GoVoxBox from Influenster, so I am not going to go into great details, however, I did want to share my opinion on a few of the products.
Did I hear somebody say they don’t know about Influenster?
“Influenster is a community of trendsetters, social media masterminds, and educated consumers who live to give opinions of products and experiences. VoxBoxes are boxes filled with complimentary products from your favorite (or soon-to-be-favorite) brands. Not all Voxboxes are created equal: some programs feature an assortment of products while others will spotlight one awesome brand. But make no mistake: All VoxBoxes are created awesome.”
Their words not mine, but if you want to be a part of this community go to www.influenster.com and sign up.
Now on to the #GoVoxBox Review
PROFOOT Triad Orthotic – I haven’t tried them yet, however, I have used orthotics in the past with great results of foot pain relief – no rating
Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Tampons – I am in menopause and have no need for this product so I gave it to my girlfriend’s daughter – no rating
Aqua Spa Relax Body Cream – the lavender fragrance is so calming and the lotion is not sticky or greasy. I love putting it on my feet after a pedicure bath and on my body after a shower – A
PROFOOT Pedi-Rock – this pumice is by far the best I’ve ever used. It is soft and large enough to handle well, removes calluses without a lot of effort, dries quickly and can be used either wet or dry – A
Blue Diamond Almonds Blueberry Flavored – a double Super Food which is rich in Antioxidant Vitamin E, low in sodium at 35 mg and a great mid-afternoon snack – A
The VitaminShoppe Next Step Meal Replacement Shake – is by far the best that I have ever tasted. There were 3 flavored packs, French Vanilla, Swiss Chocolate and Berry as well as a 20oz JAXX Shaker Cup. I used a pack, added 8 oz of water and ice and it kept me full until dinner with no hunger pangs or in-between meal cravings. A coupon for $5 off the Next Step purchase was also included – A+
Speaking of coupons the #GoVoxBox also contained one for a free container of Muller Greek and Corner Yogurt, which I got from Shoprite right before my blogging class. I don’t particularly care for Greek yogurts but with the added fruit it actually tasted good and filled me up, which is what I needed because I had missed dinner – A.
BTW – the Blogging Class was great, thank you DE Money School!
Which product would you most want to try?
