BEAUTY IS A LIFESTYLE THING

Skull Candy Crusher EVO Headphones Review As a Lifestyle blogger I often have opportunities to review products. Most times the products are new to the market or are very important to that particular company. Many companies approach bloggers to use and reuse a new product and then to truly review the product; this company wants to make a commitment to putting a good product on the market. Sometimes the products are offered for free or at a severely reduced cost. I have received these headphones at a much reduced price as part of a large reviewing group for a real and true review. Today I am reviewing the Skull Candy Crusher EVO Headphones. I begin with the “unboxing” of the headphones. The headphones were packed very nicely in a sturdy box to protect them against outside damage. Included in the box was a USB cord, the charging cord, a nice carrying/dust bag, direction booklet, and information on the downloadable app Tile. The QR Code was available to scan for questions, ...

 Finished homemade chaffles I'm jumping on board, I'm part of the Chaffle train!  I first found out about chaffles on my keto journey when I followed a keto chef that showed us how to make chaffles to use instead of bread. Lack Of Bread On the keto lifestyle, the elimination of bread is huge in order to have success with it. I can only speak for myself, but I was always missing bread. To be clear I was never that "big" on bread anyway, but I guess I was missing the sandwich as we traditionally know it. I am very creative in my use of inventing food type recipes that mimicked 2 slices of bread to make me feel like I had just eaten a sandwich. A lot of them were decent, yet still missing the texture and "feel" of bread. Enter The Chaffle and The Chaffle Recipe Heaven happened that day the chaffle entered my life! It turns out that the recipe was way simpler than making a loaf of bread ever could be. Now there are many variations to the basic ...

Avocado oil spray Photo Credit:MaryCaliendoPhoto2020 In a quest to eat better and do better for my health, I have chosen to substitute all vegetable oils for my family and myself. We can control what we use in our own homes, although we never know what we are consuming when we make a trip to a restaurant, food truck or street fest. This is what I use for a spray for sauteing, grilling, pan roasting, and baking. I accidentally bought this one day when reaching for another type of spray. I didn't notice until I was putting things away in the pantry that I realized my mistake. As I picked up the container to read it, I realized I had heard of this before and in fact, a person I followed on Instagram uses it incessantly. In my opinion, this was a great mistake to make. What's So Special About This Not all oils are created equally. Many spray oils, including avocado oils, contain other ingredients or chemicals and additives. This particular brand is awesome because not on...

MaryCaliendoPhoto2019 Here's a quick review of the Cyclo Cobra Wireless Earbuds, and as everyone knows I'm not the world's greatest Tech or electronics guru. As much as I try to stay in the loop, the majority of the time I'll ask someone nearby like a teenager or a husband for help. So anything Bluetooth or wireless in general seemed to be way out of my expertise field, but it appears that my fear prevented me from even trying anything new. So whenever it had a wire attached to it or a book of instructions, I immediately just asked for help.  Over the years as I dabbled more in the technology sector the products became easier and easier to figure out on my own!  How about that?😃 So for this product, I tried to sync it first and ask questions later! The first step charging the earbuds = easy!  Once charged I moved to the second step which was to sync them using Bluetooth to my phone, I turned on Bluetooth and found the name and then it was synced. Again, easy...

I found a new gadget that I am truly enamored with, it's called the Flexicado by Chef'n. I bought it at a boutique type kitchen and housewares shop.  It is made out of a soft to the hand BPA free plastic that is flexible. You tighten your grip and it can be used with any size avocado! The plastic "blades" scrape evenly, and you get even slices of avocado in one single swoop! It cleans straight down to the peel and there is little to no waste or avocado left behind in the peel. After halving the avocado, remove the pit Came out great on the first attempt My avocado victims above were slightly ripe, so their consistency was slightly mushy, but you can get the idea. The avocados that I used were also a mini size, and you can see I had no difficulty squeezing the handle to insert the Flexicado. I thought this was an awesome little gadget and for us Keto people who eat an avocado a lot, we also waste them a lot (scooping with a spoon I often rip...

I've done a lot of "little" weekend getaways this past summer and have wanted to pack as lightly as possible. That includes all the beauty gear! It's easy if your Hotel room comes with a hairdryer and if it does, it works in a superior manner, that's just one less thing to bring, correct? Perhaps you're like my family, all of us packed into the room and waiting in line for the next person to be done using the blow dryer to use the blowdryer! I found the cutest little blow dryer on the planet The Mini Blast Highlights The Mini Blast has two speeds and packs 280-degree Fahrenheit heat. It is compact but still delivers a 1200 watt power just like its full-size counterpart. This Mini Blast uses Negative Ion Technology that seals the hair's cuticles, this helps to eliminate any frizz. As pictured above, the Mini Blast comes with a concentrator nozzle and a diffuser attachment for usage control. I also enjoyed the weightlessness in your hand and the f...

Ok beauty sleep lovers... if you can't get the proper amount of sleep, and we know how vital that is, please do try #ZzzQuil !  It's a non-habit forming sleep aid, and I tried it as part of the #sleeplovers campaign with my #Influenster site. I will say that I was sleeping soundly within about 20 minutes. I also woke up feeling rested and refreshed. Also please note that this is only for sleep and has no pain component at all. I can't give this a 5 star review because it is something one has to or can take, and I believe nothing should replace the act of falling asleep naturally. My review 4 stars **** Thank you to @Influenster and @ZzzQuil for the sample for testing purposes.
