Knife ya!

This knife is SO amazing! It has so many features, yet still remains lightweight. The hinges open and close smoothly. The blade is quite sharp. The LED light is much brighter than I was expecting. And including the screwdriver bits is genius! This thing has so many functions and uses, I can’t believe it’s as inexpensive as it is. It seems well crafted and solidly built. I bought this for my husband for Father’s Day, and it far surpassed my expectations. It comes with a nice, rugged carrying case as well.

 

 

I try a lot of supplements, always looking for the best in each class. This is definitely in the top 5 of best turmerics I’ve used regularly. The large supply combined with the fact that it’s organic and contains bioperine (it’s from pepper and helps supplements to be more bioavailable-which just means it’s easier for your body to absorb all the goodness) make it a great deal. Turmeric is a wonderful Ayurvedic helper and should be a part of everyone’s supplement stack. Always look for GMP (good manufacturing production) certifications and no fillers-there’s some real junk out there.

Turmeric has some wonderful health benefits. It’s an adaptogen which means it helps your body adapt-mostly to stress. Everyone is stressed at this time, so everyone will find benefit in taking.

This is not my first purchase from this company, I also received and reviewed their retinol cream as well, so I was confident in the product’s efficacy (the retinol cream is AMAZEBALLS, I swear, you should get that too) It’s a nice thick gel, but unlike cream, it didn’t feel heavy and sticky on your skin. It absorbs in well. The jar is SO huge, and for the quality of ingredients and how long it will last, this is a steal of a deal. I use this over top a Vitamin C serum (that is for my dark circles) and have between the 2 noticed a lessening of dark circles and less visible fine lines (no, I’m not calling them wrinkles yet!) Quality product for an amazing price, you won’t regret giving it a try.

Turmerics!

Turmeric Curcumin with BioPerine

I have been meaning to add this to my supplement regimen for a while, and boy, am I glad I did! I have been taking them for almost 3 weeks regularly, and recently suffered from a stomach bug. My stomach was not nearly as bloated or inflamed as my husband’s (who hasn’t been using turmeric) I’m also a lot less bloated looking. As you may know from other reviews, I have taken an interest in ayurvedic healing. Ayurvedic and Chinese medicines utilize turmeric to clear infections and inflammations on the inside and outside of the body. You can even open the capsules to make a poultice for exterior use.
This is a high quality supplement with no fillers. They include a coupon on the bottle for your next purchase as well. Schwartz keeps impressing me with their pure line of supplements.

Felixis lab premium turmeric curcumin with bioperine

 

I’ve been trying different brands of turmeric curcumin that meet my standards-no fillers, third party tested, GMP, etc. Felixis labs provides all that and more in this supplement. It has no odor and no aftertaste. Long used in ayurvedic and Chinese medicines, it seriously reduces inflammation in the body. I’ve recently had experience with this during a stomach bug. The supplement helped quite a bit. This is a high quality supplement, and one well worth adding to anyone’s supplement stack.

 

 

Shibari purple halo “massager”

I have a couple of other massagers, wired and wireless. This is probably the least powerful of all of them (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing-sometimes these things seem like they’re more likely to shake your parts off than bring you pleasure!) It looks cheaper than I was expecting, but for the price, it’s not bad. It has a ton of options, so you can customize your pleasure. It charges quickly and easily, and was easy to figure out how to use and choose the differing options. It is made with a SILICONE head, so please don’t use your silicone lube with these!

Hammock, facepainting brushes +more

Double camping hammock

 

This is an amazing camping accessory, or just to have in your yard to relax. The fabric is very sturdy and is well stitched and reinforced, so it will last really well. It was very easy to hang in our tree. You could even put up some posts with rings if you don’t have a tree. using the rope and carabiners, it was a simple and quick matter to hang the hammock. My children immediately jumped in and put it to the test-they are wild and crazy, so they proved it’s ultimate toughness. I love that it packs into it’s own attached bag, because I always lose them when they’re separated-plus it gives you a great storage space for when the hammock is hanging. I think I’m going to have to buy one for each child the way they were fighting over being in it! I got in with 2 of them and it was so comfortable and relaxing. The fabric is easy to clean as well. I can’t wait to take it on our next camping trip-it takes up a lot less space than chairs!

Synthetic face painting brushes

 

These are really high quality brushes for an affordable price. We used them for face painting with mineral makeup, and in a pinch, used them for painting on canvas with acrylic paints (I couldn’t find our regular paintbrushes) These don’t shed any hairs, which is super important to me. They are easy to wash, and the handles and brush parts are very firmly attached-usually that’s a problem with cheaper brushes. I would definitely buy these again. They are great general paintbrushes.

 

Nicedec 17.6lb / 8kg (Max) 4 Pack Transparent Super Heavy Duty Hooks

20160326_162525

These are quite a bit larger in surface area than I was expecting, so they’re a lot more obvious hanging on the wall than I imagined. Since they’re clear, it helps, but they are visible. All that being said, they are easily as good as name brands like 3M hanging hooks. They adhere quickly and easily. I removed one to see if it would damage the wall (I’m not guaranteeing anything for you!) and it didn’t damage any of the paint (I have semigloss where I was using these) They can hold a surprising amount of weight as well.

 

 

 

100% organic ashwagandha powder

I have recently started studying ayurvedic aids, so was excited to try this. I aim to live my life (and my family’s) by consuming only the healthiest of foods and supplements, because when 1 out of 2 people are getting cancer? I have to do something. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, which means it has a multitude of uses.
Immunity; it strengthens the immune system, and increases blood circulation.
Sexual potency; the herb is often prescribed to improve sexual potency among men.
Anti-inflammatory; the anti-inflammatory properties of the herb allow it to cure any skin ailment like pimples, rashes etc.
Inflammation; it helps in reducing joint inflammations.
Cleansing; the herb removes toxins from the body providing it with more vigor, health and vitality.
Metabolism; it promotes insulin production, helping diabetics.
Weight-loss; the removal of toxins and rejuvenation properties help in maintaining weight.
Stress reliever; it is considered as a strong relaxant and antidepressant, lowering stress & anxiety.
Anti-aging; stops cell degeneration and promotes regeneration in old as well as new nerve cells.
Cancer fighting; the antioxidant properties have been observed to be effective in destroying tumors.

So as you can see, this is a supplement you NEED in your life, and it must be organic to remain pure. There are no fillers or additives, just 100% ashwagandha.
I usually mix it in with tea, as this says, but there are other uses. I’m going to try it as a poultice next. It has definitely assisted my stress and anxiety levels. I am a very anxious person with medications I take already, and this does not interact-it just helps me feel even better.
Supplement: a dose of 600 to 800 mg is recommended, but this may vary according to the problem.
Tonic: a tonic or tea can be made, and consumed twice a day; that is, in the morning and the evening. This can be made by boiling ¾ tsp of the herb in a cup of water or milk. This is cooked for 15 minutes.
Oil: the oil is used a toner for skin after mixing it with a large amount of almond oil. Rose water is added for additional benefits.
Topical cream: use a pumice to make a paste of the roots of the plant with water. This is then applied to reduce joint and skin inflammations.
