REVIEWS AND GIVEAWAYS!!



I recently had the opportunity to try a Wrap from It Works thanks to Alysse DeVenuta
I have seen before and after Pics of these wraps all over Facebook the last couple months and was excited to give it a try. 
The wraps can be placed anywhere on your body. I used mine on my stomach. 
The wraps are very easy to apply yourself. There are simple directions listed on the packaging.

  Expect "ultimate" results with this amazing 45-minute body Applicator! The Ultimate Body Applicator is a non-woven cloth wrap that has been infused with a powerful, botanically-based formula to deliver maximum tightening, toning, and firming results where applied to the skin.
  • Tightens, tones, & firms
  • Minimizes cellulite appearance
  • Improves skin texture & tightness
  • Mess-free and simple to use
  • Results in as little as 45 minutes
  • Progressive results over 72 hours
  • Made with natural ingredients

The Ultimate Body Applicator.  The site-specific body contouring treatment has been in the hands of celebrities at Hollywood events and at the doorsteps of people like you all over the world—exclusively available through It Works! It all started when Mark Pentecost received a call from Pam Sowder (now It Works! Director of Marketing) raving about a product that could deliver tightening, toning, and firming results in 45 minutes—an alternative to the growing trend for more drastic measures like plastic surgery or constricting shapewear.Global. The Ultimate Body Applicator could only come from a mind that is both brilliant and passionate about the use of safe, natural ingredients: Luis Mijares.

It is recommended you use the wraps every 72 hours to see optimal results. You must drink lots of water after using the wrap
You can leave the wrap on for a minimum of 45 minutes up to 10 hours. 
I actually was able to get 2 wraps and left them both on for about 5 hours each.
Here are my results!!!
Before 
                                                                After 2 Wraps


From the first wrap I lost a total of 2 1/2 inches. 
From the 2nd wrap, which I did a week after the first. I lost another 2 inches. 
So a total of 4 1/2 inches lost around my waist and belly area. 
Not bad for doing nothing but placing a wrap around my belly. 
This isn't a miracle product and you will have to continue to use the wraps as directed, if you want to continue to see results. It works offers a Loyal customer discount on 4 wraps a month. It Works offers a variety of products for your Ultimate Makeover!

I was sent a sample of Cranberry Orange Hand Scrub from Pink papaya, thanks to Dottae Pierre. I was given enough for a good 2 uses. Pink Papaya products are infused with botanical extracts, made in the USA. They do not do Animal testing, and they also offer  head to toe paraben free products.



The Cranberry Orange Scrub is an Exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin without damaging delicate tissue resulting in a glowing finish.
I am a hairstylist part time and mommy full time, so my hands are in water ALOT!
I am always looking for new scrubs to keep my hands hydrated and smooth feeling. 
I used the Scrub as directed on hands twice, and in those 2 uses I did feel some smoothness but would like to have felt it a little longer, didn't seem to last longer than a day. I did read on Dottae's website that it is best to use it 2~3 times a week, and to follow with Pink Papaya Moisturizer. I only had the Scrub so perhaps with the moisturizer I would have felt a bigger difference. 
The smell is a nice, not overbearing scent. The organic sugar and cranberry seeds gently exfoliate while the sweet almond oil, sesame seed oil, vitamin E and aloe vera soothe, heal and condition.
The ingredients are all natural, which I love.
The Price of the Cranberry Orange Hand Scrub is $22.50 for 6.5 oz




Dottae also sent me a sample of Vanilla Bean Brown Sugar Lip Exfoliator.
I am not a big fan of Vanilla scented products at all, and I have to say this one is not bad, again it is not a strong overbearing scent, and I could hardly smell the Vanilla. I used the Lip Exfoliator about 3 times. I really liked the way my lips felt with this product. They are not usually real dry, but I could feel the moisturizing going on, on my lips. The Vanilla Bean Brown Sugar Lip Exfoliator is Loaded with powerful age-fighting antioxidants from plum and jojoba oils and nourishing moisturizers from mango butter, shea butter, and apple pectin extract, brown sugar exfoliator will gently scrub away roughness to reveal a soft, smooth, and plump pout. With all Natural ingredients as well. (Sugar) Sucrose, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond Oil), (Brown Sugar) Sucrose, Soy Wax, Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis), Mango Butter (Mangifera indica), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parki), Prunus Domestica Seed Oil (Plum Oil), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), pyrus malus fruit extract (Apple) Extract, Carica Papaya Fruit Extract, Flavor
 You get 14 gms for $18. Thank you Dottae for allowing me to do a review on your product.

I had the opportunity to Try The Lemon Coconut Creamy Facial Cleanser from Verefina, thanks to Katrin Seals an independent Consultant for Verefina.

Verefina is a company that focuses on Skin care and wellness products, The products offer their customers a perfect balance between natures ingredients and safety in use.

Jennifer Lugo founded Verefina when she became aware of the toxic ingredients in personal care products she was planning on using on her newborn baby. Her concern lead her to create her own skin care line and wellness products that are made from the goodness of nature.

Each product is made the finest it can be by using the abundance of nature: real olive and calendula oils, powerful essential oils, natural butters from Shea and cocoa, soothing aloe Vera, and more.
From creamy lotions to our first aid remedies,  products provide lasting benefits without lingering side effects.

Lemon Coconut Creamy facial cleanser is 99% All natural and is 3.5 Fl Oz. The cost is $22.50

Send your skin a new message by deeply cleansing without stripping vital oils!  Lemon Coconut Creamy Facial Cleanser is packed with healthy ingredients that will help your skin self-regulate to its own optimal balance. Virgin coconut oil acts as a skin protectant and improves skin texture. Lemon essential oil brightens the complexion and regulates oil production for all skin types. Apricot kernel oil improves skin elasticity, suppleness, and is a great antioxidant. Jojoba beads exfoliate and are gentle enough to use daily. This cleanser is the perfect companion to the Sea Buckthorn Facial Cream and will leave your skin moisturized and absolutely glowing – You’ll never go back to your old cleansing method.

Ingredients: distilled water, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, cocos nucifera (virgin coconut) oil, apricot prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil, cetearyl olivate and sorbitan olivate (an emulsifier naturally derived from olive oil), hydrogenated jojoba oil (beads), vegetable glycerin, polyaminopropyl biguanide (a gentle, paraben-free and formaldehyde-free preservative), xanthan gum, tocopherol (natural vitamin E), citrus medica limonum (lemon) peel oil, styrax benzoin oil, cymbopogon schoenanthus (lemongrass) oil.

I used the Cleanser for 10 days, and I have to say I was a little hesitant to try it, I have very sensitive skin and break out easily. Although the cleanser is 99% natural it still worried me, I have used all natural face washes before and broke out terribly from them.   I already had a few blemishes on my skin so I was hoping the Lemon Coconut cleanser would help with this, and to my surprise it did. My face cleared up pretty fast. The Cleanser is not greasy or heavy on your skin at all. It left my skin feeling soft I almost didn't use any moisturizer. It must be the coconut oil, it is very good to use on skin. I noticed my pores which are on the larger side, became small and not as noticeable like before. I especially love that the ingredients are all natural, we don't realize how many toxins are in our products we use everyday. They are harmful to our bodies and can cause serious problems later down the line. Over all I would say this an awesome Face wash and I will continue to use it.
Thank you Katrin Seals for the chance to review your product.
