SJ Creations Foaming HandWash Review & A Coupon Code for my Readers!



I recently found a new company with great bath & body products called SJ Creations, Inc. I had the opportunity to review the Large Mandarin Orange Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash and let me say, it was awesome! I love to wash my hands with pump soap/foam instead of traditional messy, germy bar soaps, so I knew I would enjoy this alot!

Since I had already planned a trip to visit my Aunt in VA, I decided to take it with me so she & I could review it together. We put the bottle by her kitchen sink, and decided to give it a try. The first thing we noticed when we pressed the pump, is how much lather it actually makes with ONE little pump. Nice, rich, foamy lather. The next thing we couldn't help but notice, is the wonderful fragrance. The mandarin orange smell is SO divine! It smells good enough to eat, although I wouldn't recommend it:)

What also stands out about this item, is how much you get in the bottle. It was a full 25 oz. of handsoap! It is in a liquid form, but turns into a rich, delicious smelling lather when it is pumped from it's bottle. I am going to leave the bottle with her, and I know it will last her quite some time!

SJ Creations also carries a kid's line of products and just about anything you could want for your face, and/or body/skin.

The other thing I LOVE about this company, is that they give back. They will donate a portion of the proceeds of the sales of their line of Pink Grapefruit Pure Organic Products to help fight Breast Cancer. How cool is that?

My Aunt actually tested the soap in a rather unorthodoxed way. She used it as a bodywash/bubble bath. She said that it made her skin SO soft and she loved the fragrance also! I only tried it as a handsoap in the kitchen/bath and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend this company!

Review: Cymax Stores-Coffee Tables

Photobucket



I have told y'all in the last few weeks about an awesome company Cymax.com. Well, today, I want to tell you about their selection of coffee tables & nesting tables. Here is a great selection of tables if you are looking for that much needed coffee table set to go in front of your sofa to place books, drinks, decorations, etc. upon. It comes complete with two additional tables to use as side/end tables beside your sofa and/or chair to make your look complete. I personally loved the modern look in the pic below with the glass.













They also offer coaster coffee table sets. I love these! My fave is this one below:









When I was a kid, my mom had a set of nesting tables. I was mesmerized by these & was always wanting to play with them, but they were only pulled apart from their set when we had company. (Remember, no feet on the table lol)





So, if you are in the market for some sleek new coffee tables or end tables, be sure to check out Cymax Stores for all of your household needs & more!

Spread the word to your friends as well about this fantastic company!

Review: Lindsay Aline CD



I LOVE music and am always on the lookout for exciting new artists. When I was given the opportunity to review Lindsay Aline's new cd, I couldn't wait for it to arrive!

Her cd did not disappoint! I loved her smooth, beautiful voice! One of my favorite tracks is a song called "Belong". I am a sucker for love/pop songs!(lol)

You can purchase her cd from Amazon.com and it's very affordable.

Want to learn more about this amazing artist?

Well, here is Lindsay's bio:


23-year-old San Francisco Bay Area native Lindsay Aline wrote her first song “What Would It Be Like” just short of three years ago. Lindsay explains that at the time, she was convinced that her lofty dreams were mere fantasies of a simple girl. What started out as an impulsive desire to put music to her life evolved into a passion for songwriting that now stands as the core toward which she is working. Classically trained, Aline’s music combines orchestral depth with contemporary rhythms and vocals. Her voice has been said to have both dramatic, lyrical qualities as well as resonant, folk qualities.



Also, here is more about Lindsay's debut cd:

Since its release in 2009, Lindsay Aline’s 11-track album has landed attention nationwide through all the major online social networks as well as a variety of radio and podcast stations, news columns, blogs, performing events, and more. Aline’s recent developments include the production of her first music video for her highly rated song “Reach”. Listeners’ feedback reflect opinions that her album is “refreshing, yet deep,” and “a balance of incredible vocals and soulful lyrics.” It’s empowering and uplifting. It has a Pop-Classical feed to it with a Celtic flair, all of which is laced with emotion. A supposed mix of Sissel, Josh Groban, Imogen Heap, and Evanescence.

Lindsay’s intentions include both the desire to influence the music industry for the better as well as brighten the personal lives of people


She does remind me of Imogen Heap! I LOVE her music as well, so it's great to see Lindsay draw her inspiration from several of my favorite artists!

This will be a cd I listen to often as I found it very soothing.

If you'd like to connect with Lindsay, here is her social media contact info:

Review: Cymax Stores (Kitchen Carts & More)

Photobucket


Most of us will never have the amount of kitchen space that we would like, as I know I don't. It's also no secret, that many new homebuyers want large kitchens. So, when I found out that Cymax Stores also carries breakfast bars/kitchen carts, I really got excited because I could expand the space in my very own kitchen without even picking up a hammer. When you can't afford to remodel your kitchen, one of these carts could be the solution to a space problem! I really like the breakfast bar pictured below because it's very compact, and would be great for breakfast with your significant other or a perfect place to have a friend over & enjoy some coffee. Can't you just envision sitting at this bar together, having great conversation & munching on some delicious muffins, juice & coffee or whatever your heart desires?






This black kitchen cart below could definitely come in handy to give you that extra "work station/prep area" in your kitchen. I know I don't like to be crowded with limited counter space when I'm preparing a meal, so this cart could definitely help me have room to spread out.



If you choose to put the kitchen cart in your kitchen, the last thing you would want to do is chop vegetables, meats, etc. directly on that gorgeous wood top, so I have a solution for that. Check out this awesome line of wooden cutting boards to prevent scratching your beautiful new kitchen cart.





So, if you are in the market for some kitchen essentials to help you save on space, be sure to check out Cymax Stores for all of your kitchen needs & more!



Spread the word to your friends as well about this fantastic company!
