This Vitamin C Serum is of very high quality. I noticed a difference very quickly after using. It has brightened my skin considerably and has helped to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. I use my serum twice daily, once in the morning and once at night. You can almost immediately feel it working as it tightens the skin upon applying. My skin now has a glow to it and already looks younger. There is no offensive scent, just a light aloe smell which quickly fades after applying. The 1 oz bottle is great because it will last a very long time since a very little goes a long way.

I highly recommend this product to anyone who is worried about aging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, or red spots.

Sky Organics Lavender Essential Oil - REVIEW

Sky Organics Essential Oil

I am an avid natural living girl so when I was given the opportunity to receive Sky Organics Lavender Essential Oil at a discounted price in exchange for a review I immediately jumped on the offer. I am very happy that I came across this wonderful brand of essential oils.

As soon as I opened the adorable little box this oil was packaged in, I could smell the strong, beautiful lavender scent. Lavender is one of my favorite essential oils because it has so many amazing properties and is so versatile. I have several bottles of lavender oil on hand at all times, some expensive brands and some cheap. Upon comparing the scent with my most expensive brand (Young Living), I was pleasantly surprised to not be able to tell a difference between the two scent wise. Having already used this in my diffuser, I don't notice any difference in the scent or effects of this compared to Young Living lavender oil. I tested the purity of this oil on an index card and, as expected, the oil completely evaporated after time meaning that it is indeed a 'pure' oil. I am very happy with the quality of this essential oil. The label lists this essential oil as 100% pure, 100% organic, 100% natural, no additives, and chemical free. From my testing and use of the oil (and my familiarity with lavender essential and essential oils in general), I have no reason to doubt any of these claims. The only con I have found with this oil so far is that the dropper releases drops extremely fast. I am used to slow dripping oils so this will take a bit of getting used to but it's certainly not a major concern.

I have already used this oil in several recipes, including my favorite 'all natural headache salve' and I am happy to report that it successfully cured my headache as expected. Overall I see no difference between this and my Young Living brand lavender essential oil. I am very pleased with this purchase and I will most likely be back to purchase other essential oils from Sky Organics in the future.

Gynoii WiFi Video Baby Monitor - REVIEW

Gynoii WiFi Video Baby Monitor

I am expecting my first child this summer so I was actively searching for a video baby monitor. I was somewhat troubled by the reviews of some of the higher brand monitors so a friend recommended the Gynoii brand to me. I was lucky enough to be offered this particular monitor at a discounted price in exchange for my review.

The Gynoii monitor arrived in a great, sturdy box. My box arrived with a small dent in one corner but the inside is packaged perfectly to avoid damage during transit. The monitor itself was a little bigger than I was expecting it to be (including the antenna which is not show in the main photo), however it's not so big that I won't be able to move it from room to room as needed. Included in the box is the monitor, a power adapter, an ethernet cord (not sure what this is for, I didn't use it), a wall mount with screws, and a quick installation guide. My first piece of advise is to ignore the quick installation guide and search for a setup video for this monitor. I had trouble setting mine up until I realized that my phone had to be connected to the monitor's wi-fi initially instead of my home's wi-fi. This is not mentioned anywhere in the quick installation guide so the setup was extremely confusing/frustration (hence the 4 star review).

Once I got everything up and running, I have to admit that I was disappointed at the quality of the video on my phone. It didn't realize that the video was initially set at low quality, once I changed it to high quality the image was crystal clear and I was extremely happy. There is a 1-2 second delay on the video and sound (this will depend on the speed of your in home wi-fi) which I'm sure most video monitors have, but I don't have another to compare this to. This doesn't bother me but I thought it was worth mentioning in case you may be bothered by it.

I haven't set up the wall mount yet, however I do wish it had some kind of clip instead of being permanently attached to the wall. My baby will likely be sleeping in different rooms so I was hoping for an easy way to move the monitor from room to room. I will most likely attach some heavy duty velcro to the back of the wall mount to solve the issue. Also, it is good to keep in mind that the monitor does not run on batteries, it needs to be plugged in at all times and the cord is a bit on the shorter side. Again, not a huge problem but worth mentioning.

In my opinion, the best feature of this particular monitor is the guest account. I love knowing that my husband's family, who live over 1000 miles away, will be able to look in on the baby whenever they want to. They simply turn on the app, connect to the guest account, and see the monitor's output in real time. It can even be set so that they can talk to the baby through the monitor.

The android app is very nicely designed. I had some trouble getting the panning to work at first but a reset on the camera corrected this right away. I love that you can play music and talk to the baby right through the app. You can also take photos and record short videos. I have not yet tried the night vision but I will be sure to report back on how well that works when I do get to try it out.

Overall this is a solid monitor that I am sure we will get tons of use out of. I love the security of knowing that I will be able to keep an eye on my sleeping baby even when she is in another room. I am so happy that this brand was recommended to me and I will be sure to keep watch on their future products!

Sun Organics 100% Pure Peppermint Essential Oil (Mentha Piperita) - REVIEW

Sun Organics 100% Pure Peppermint Essential Oil

I was offered a free sample of this EO in exchange for an honest review. Seeing that I was actively seeking Peppermint EO I immediately jumped on this offer. This review is my honest opinion and is in no way influenced by receiving the product for free. (Please don't mind the photos, I have had this oil for some time so the bottle has gotten stained from the oils. I did not receive it looking like this!)

I would love to have left 5 stars for this as the product itself is great, however I think this needs a bit more information on it before it is 5-star worthy. First, the company name is Sun Organic, this is confusing as it makes you think that the oil is organic but nowhere on the label does it confirm this. I am uncertain if there is any way to confirm if this is organic or not.

The quality appears to be high but there is no content on the label to confirm what is actually inside aside from the 'Peppermint' on the front. The label states "essential oil blends are best used for aromatherapy through a diffuser", I assume that this is a generic label so this does not necessarily mean that it is a blend but it is confusing. I suggest that the company adds more information to the label to confirm what is actually inside.

The label states that this should not be used topically or orally, I understand that this is probably more of a safety warning than anything else as I know many people use Peppermint EO topically with no problems. I will be testing this further in very small amounts as I would love to be able to eventually use it as a massage oil. Also, the scent of this is amazing! It smells like it is certainly high quality, none of that fake/bad smell that some health store EOs can have. I would compare this to doTERRA and Young Living in quality.

Overall, this seems like a solid EO and is well worth the price. I would definitely suggest purchasing it but please be sure you are informed on how to use it properly and safely as the label is not really going to give you much help in that department.

Edit: I have noticed that the company is not called Sun Organic anymore. I take this to mean that their products are not in fact organic and I am happy the company has decided to clarify this.

Beechtree Baby Breathable Modal Wrap Carrier - REVIEW

Beechtree Baby Breathable Modal Wrap

I was a bit skeptical of the Beechtree Baby wrap since it is not a well know name brand such as Moby or Boba Baby, but I am extremely happy that I bit the bullet and purchased this one. The fact that the company offers a lifetime warranty helped me to make my decision to purchase this particular wrap. I also love the fact that it is made from modal fabric which is all natural and eco-friendly.

The wrap came cleverly packaged in a sturdy box with a reusable plastic bag for storage. I love that I will always have a nice place to store it and keep it clean while not in use. It also includes a helpful guide on how to properly use the wrap. I chose the pink/grey option since I am expecting a girl this summer, the pink is a beautiful baby pink color, perfect for a little girl. I love the pink and grey combination together.

 When I first opened the wrap I immediately noticed a huge difference from the Moby that I already owned. The modal fabric is so much softer than the Moby. Unbelievably soft! The fabric is super lightweight and feels comfortable against my skin so it will be perfect for my summer baby. I love the front pocket on this wrap, it will be great for stowing small, items while on the go (I think it will be very useful for my cell phone).

If you have ever owned a wrap carrier before, you already know that it can be a steep learning curve to learn how to correctly tie it. Thankfully, the book included shows full color step by step photos on how to properly tie the wrap and insert baby. I highly suggest practicing this several times before using it to carry a baby. If you have a cat you can practice on, even better! Once everything is tied properly, your baby will be nice and secure in the wrap. This can even be used for newborn babies so that is a huge plus for me.

Overall, I highly recommend this wrap. The price is great (about $35!) compared to other brands and it is incredibly soft and comfortable. I will be sure to update with more photos once my baby is here and I am able to actually use the wrap. Disclaimer: I received this wrap at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.
