The Lalune organic lip balm is a great moisturizer. A very nourishing lip butter that not only is great for adults, but for toddlers and kids as well. Perfect for dry lips, chapped lips, cracked lips and even use it as a lipstick base.

They are cruelty free and even the packaging is earth friendly. None of Lalune's products are ever tested on animals. The lip balm comes in 4 different flavors: Vanilla bean, Peppermint, Raspberry and Asian pear.

My personal experience:
I tried the Raspberry lip balm and fell in love. It has no harsh smell, the Raspberry scent is very light. I have used so many different types of lip balms, chap stick being the most used. The Lalune ones glide on so smoothly and the smell is incredible. I always have a hard time NOT licking the balm off my lips because the others go on so thick. These go on thin and leave no sticky or greasy feeling. These have the consistency of regular chap stick in a twist up tube. I would rather have that type then the thick liquid goop! I also really like that they aren't colored. I like my lip balm to be a cream color because I will know that is will go on clear!

Also, a little does go a long way. I applied it once during the afternoon and if you are able to not lick your lips too much, you can still feel the smoothness of the lip balm at the end of the night. I like to apply it right before I leave the house. It really does keep my lips feeling hydrated!

I love the packaging. It is simple yet cute. Just a simple little brown box made from recycled material.
I did receive 4 different lip balms and I have tried the Raspberry and the Vanilla Bean. I am going to give my readers a chance to try one! I will be giving away the Asian Pear and the Peppermint. just keep reading to find out how to enter!

Smooth Energy Clear Mind LiquidCaps

Have you ever felt like you had a thousand things running through your mind? I sure have. But I am a mother of 2 boys and a wife. You can just imagine how many things go through this mind as soon as I wake up. Even at night when I am about to fall asleep, I have a thousand things floating around in my head! It can become very irritating! I had a chance to try a product that I have never heard about. It is the Smooth Energy Clear Mind Liquid Caps.

According to their description, after taking the liquid caps, you will experience a balanced energy and a clear, focused and stable mind.So what exactly are the benefits of these Energy Clear Mind Caps? Read the list below!

1. Smooth energy
2. Mental focus
3. Improved libido
4. Stress relief
5. Supports maintaining blood glucose at normal levels
6. Supports cardiovascular health
7. Assists immuno potentiation
8. Aids in a healthy inflammatory response
9. Optimizes athletic performance

The capsules are pure fermented Ginseng extract with organic vegetable glycerin. Meaning it is pure with nothing else added. The caps are hermetically sealed with a nitrogen bubble which removes all the oxygen to keep it pure and fresh. Since they are natural vegan cellulose, this means they will easily mealy under your tongue. This is the most efficient way to take them, although if the herbal taste is too much for you, you can swallows it down with some water.

Do you want to see a list of ingredients? Look below!

My personal experience:

At first glance, they look like tea wrapped in a bubble like pill. As shown below. I placed it under my tongue and held it there for about 30 seconds. It was not dissolving as fast as I 'd hope. I might just be impatient, but to be completely honest, it was not the best tasting thing. I then grabbed some water and swallowed it down.

I took these for 7 days. It is best to take them either in the morning or right before bed. I took them around noon every day. This is the time of the day where I feel like everything hits me at once. This would be the perfect time to see how the liquid caps worked. The first 2 days I did not notice anything different. I was tired, unfocused and just felt like I could not think straight. For me, this feels like any other day. The 3rd day was different. For some reason I felt, good. I was able to get my kids fed, make my husband his lunch before work, sit down and do our finances and look ahead in the month to see what needed to be done. After 7 days, it seemed to have continued.

As far as smell and taste. Well, the smell, there was no smell. I took them out of the package and it did not have any distinct smell. As far as taste, I could not handle waiting for it to dissolve under my tongue due to the taste. I mean, many others may be able to handle it. I cannot say it is the bad part of these liquid caps. Just if you are into natural tasting, really strong, tart tea, then you will be able to dissolve them.

So all in all, yes I would recommend these, Do they REALLY work? Sure, in my opinion they did. But could it have been in my head and I REALLY wanted them to work, sure again. Either way, both are a good thing. These liquid caps worked for me whether it was the actually capsule or if it was all in my head.

Universal Comfy Co Mattress Protector Pad

Being a mom is wonderful. Yes you have a ton of clothes to wash, a ton of bottles to clean out and a lot of toys to put away. But have you ever thought about what could be on your babies mattress? You know they pee through diapers, they drool and I am positive that they get lot of boogers all over the sheets. I am guessing that most of that soaks through the sheets and onto the mattress which down the road, could cause mold. Those sheets won't protect that mattress from bed bugs or anything else for that matter. But don't worry, there is something you could use to make your babies mattress live a lot longer.

The Universal Comfy Co Protector Pad is 100 percent waterproof and a safe material for your baby. It is soft, quilted and padded, plus it is breathable. These protector pads are thick, but not too thick to were it is uncomfortable for baby to sleep on. It doesn't contain chemicals so don't fret about it giving off a terrible smell. The best part, it isn't noisy. It is soft, but when you wash it, it becomes even softer! It probably would be best to wash it first then place it onto the mattress.

It fits very snug and will prevent bed bugs or any other type of bug from crawling underneath and in between the sheets and the mattress itself.

My personal experience:

When I opened the package, I was certain that it was going to be a plastic, see through sheet or made from some type of materials packed with a ton of chemicals. To my surprise, it was just a nice white cloth sheet with mesh that fits snug around the corners of the mattress. It was really soft and nicely padded. When I first laid it on top of the mattress, I was hoping that it wouldn't bunch up too much because it could be harmful. It laid very flat and was very tight around the corners of the mattress. 

Here is a picture of the protector pad on the mattress. Very snug fitting!

Second, I had my 2 year old boy lay down on it and play for a little bit to see how much noise the material would make when rubbed up against the mattress.  To my surprise, it didn't make more noise then a regular sheet would make. Nobody wants a noisy, obnoxious protector pad!

After this, I laid my youngest down for his nap. He usually sleeps for about 3-4 hours. He woke up 20 minutes later. I wasn't sure if it was the protector pad or not. The sheet is fairly soft, but I would wash it first. I placed a regular crib sheet on top of the protector pad and laid my son back down. He slept much longer.  I don't want to say this is a bad thing because it is brand new and needs to be broke in and washed. 

Here is a picture of what the protector pad looks like up close

Lastly, after my son woke up, I noticed a little wet spot. Was it pee, was it drool? I have no clue but it was wet. I checked under the sheet and looked at the protector pad. It leaked through the regular sheet and onto the protector pad. Luckily, the pad lives up to its description. It did not leak through the protector pad! Saved by the pad!

Here is a picture of what underneath looks like. You will see where I am coming from when I mention that I thought it would be noisy.

All in all, it is a great product. I really like it thus far.

My personal experience and thoughts:I have a lot of redness on my cheeks and pretty bad dark circles (I am a mom of 2 boys, you can imagine how much sleep I get....I mean, how much i DON'T get). I haven't used many eye gels because I have always felt that there was no possible way to get rid of it. Except hide it under some thick foundation! 

I applied a little bit, The above picture was enough to cover under both eyes. I loved how it felt. Instant soothing feeling. As it started to dry, I could feel it tighten up a little bit. I loved how this did not leave a sticky residue. Although I cannot honestly tell you that I have gotten rid of my dark circles. I am sure those won't go away until both my kids sleep through the night. But I can honestly say that under my eyes certainly look refreshed and hydrated. They don't look dry and puffy. 


I do want to say that it was best used when I woke up and at night right after a shower. The smell was wonderful. It was a very light scented gel. It is hard to explain, it was as if you could smell that it was natural. It did not have that strong perfume scent. It was rather a refreshing scent. I applied this product lest then 45 minutes ago and I can still feel it tightening up. It really is a wonderful product. I also want to mention that I have sensitive skin and it did not cause me to itch, swell or feel uncomfortable, I recieved one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
