If I had my daughter Stephanie do a review on a vacuum cleaner, it would be bias. This older child of mine LOVES to vacuum clean. A few years ago we gave her her very own vacuum cleaner for her birthday, as a joke. She was so happy we couldn’t believe it. The joke was on us and not her!

Needless to say, I’m not a big fan of vacuuming. Most of the time I wish I was a genie that could clean my whole house. Unfortunately I’m don’t, so when my the Oreck arrived and I vacuumed my rugs and wooden floors, I was pleased with the results.

Some people are blessed with lustrous lashes, and some have to rely on a good mascara to do the trick.

With so many brands on the market, it’s becoming more and more difficult to make up your mind.

Daisy and I reviewed several brands in hopes that it will help you find the brand that will work best for you.

I don’t know about you, but I hate doing laundry. In my house when you turn nine, you do your own laundry. My kids always thought that was not fair. My response? ”Life isn’t always fair, learn to live with it”.

When I received several samples of “Soak” I was skeptical. I liked the fact that it was biodegradable and phosphate-free, but what peaked my interest was that it was also rinse-free.

Most people will use this on knits, I’m using it on most of my clothes.

I gave it a try and loved it. With three different scents to choose from and at the $16 price range, one bottle will last you 80 washes and is my new Godsend.

Soak Wash -- Starter Kit (includes 3 fragrances)

Daisy told you all about the devise, now let me put my two cents in. Clarisonic recently launched their miniature-sized version of their original Clarisonic: Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System. It’s cheaper than the original model, it’s available in pink and it’s just perfect for the traveling woman or your college daughter.

Why choose this one compared to the other three models by Clarisonic? Check out their chart featuringthe Mia, Classic, PLUS and PRO and see their differences for yourself.


Why do I like the Clarisonic Mia?
I’ll start with the fact that it’s small but more importantly, I feel that it is works just as well as the Clarisonic Classic. The Mia head brush is the same size as the Classic, but it is about two inches smaller than the origina;. It still covers the same surface area as the Classic would—it is just not as bulky! It comes with a pLink charger opposed to a cradle charger like the Classic, making it easier for travel and storage.

I know what you’re thinking: “What’s the downside?“

Unlike the Classic which has two speed settings, Mia only has one. However, you probably will not even notice the lack of speed options. The battery life is also different. With a full charge, Mia will last twenty minutes while the Classic lasts thirty. Once again, you probably will not even notice the difference. I use my Mia at least five times a week, sometimes for more than two minutes at a time, and I only have to charge it once every two weeks…so I’m not sure if the twenty minute battery is accurate but I feel that I am getting more out of it than that.

Overall, I feel the Clarosonic Mia is a great investment. It is an easy and an efficient way to cleanse your skin. It cleans your skin up to six times as deep as washing your face with your hands would and I feel that it leaves me with a smoother and clearer overall look. I really enjoy having Mia handy, she comes with me everywhere and although I still wash my face with my hands, I am sure to wash it over again with Mia. The cleaner the better, and Mia can help you get there!

Blisoma

Would you apply Vegetarian Clay on your face? That’s what Blissoma is all about! While we receive many requests for beauty lines, this one stood out because of its natural approach. They call it “food for the skin!” Blissoma’s ingredients are derived from organic foods and herbs making this a healthy product! We tested out several of their products, and focused in on the “peace” and “refine.”

Lets face it -- we all have hectic and stressful days and at by the time it gets dark outside we really do need some peace in our lives! Peace is an evening facial creme that has an anti-inflammatroy calming treatment making it perfect for all skin types and gave me just the right amount of nutrients and moisture for my skin. I like that this solution is made for flakiness and acne (non-oil related).
