Triangle Peg Game Review from Rustic Trail Crafts on Etsy!

Today we will be taking a closer look at a very unique Etsy store. I am so excited to be sharing this shop with you. The name of this shop is Rustic Trail Crafts. This shop is really cool and totally caught my eye when I was browsing on Etsy recently. If you are familiar with the restaurant Cracker Barrel you are going to know exactly what these little games are. When I was little this is where I was introduced to this game to be honest with you. It's pretty much a version on checkers but you play it alone. You are given a peg board with pegs in it. There is one missing peg and you use the others to "jump". Its a very easy concept and the goal of the game is to be able to jump all the pegs so you are left with none at the end. It's really a fun and simple game to play. I remember playing it a lot as a child.

So when I seen this shop I just knew I would love to review on of their games for them. The game that they sent me to review  is one that is made out of 9mm bullets. This really caught my eye because usually when I seen these games they were only made out of golf tees's I've never seen someone take their own approach on these. Which really makes these one of a find for sure.

These are hand made which is another reason why I love them. You can really see the craftsmen ship that has gone into each game. I am super impressed with the quaulity of these. The wood alone for these are just gorgeous.

Another awesome thing that is included with the purchase of these is instructions on how to play the game in case you plan on gifting this to someone and you are unsure if they are familiar with this game or not. I am so glad they included this as well. It's just something small, but I am absolutely terrible at explaining things so this really does help me out a whole bunch for sure!

In conclusion I have nothing bad to say at all about this product. I am truly blown away with the craftsmen ship. I love how simple this is but could be such a personal gift to someone, or even yourself. I plan on keeping mine of my coffee table. It's a great simple game for you, or even your guests that come over can pick up and play. I have had this in my living room since Christmas time and it definitely is  a conversation starter for sure, and then it always turns into a competition on who will have the least amount of pegs left over. lol

I want to thank  Rustic Trail Crafts for being a part of my blog and sending me this product to review. I absolutely love it and I am so excited to own this. I hope you all take the time to check out their shop listed below:

Cleopatras Choice! Review

I have so many amazing products to share with all of you today! All of these products came from Cleopatras Choice, which is an online retailer. I am so excited to share all of these amazing products with you today. They sent me a wide range of products to try out, and all of these products seemed like something I would love to try! They sent me a total of six products to test out so let's get into the review!

The very first product I will be sharing with all of you is called  Bee Magic Wand. This is an all in one lip and face balm.

The product claims to have all of these amazing benefits:

Its extra strength formula is great for extreme weather protection and instant relief.
It soothes and relieves cold sores, and moisturizes and protects dry, chapped lips.
It is 100% natural and free of synthetic dyes, fragrances, preservatives, parabens, sulfates, soy and petroleum so it is safe to use anywhere on the face and body.
Its propriety compound was created exclusively to provide heightened antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits while soothing, healing and hydrating skin of all kinds

Retails:($12.99)

 

I have used products like this one in the past and I actually have never been a real fan of something like this. I decided to give this product the benefit of the doubt and try it out anyways. As you can see the way that they package this product is like a jumbo lip balm, which I really like. This gives for a really easy application and makes it so the product isn't messy which I like as well. All you have to do is apply this right to the area, and you don't have to worry about this getting all over your hands. Pretty much this product is for any type of dry or irritated skin. I used this on my elbows which is the driest part of skin on my body and I thought it did a pretty good job at moisturizing them.  The scent of this product is Honey which is pretty enjoyable. Overall I would say this is an "Okay" product. I wasn't too crazy over it, but I mean it did the job pretty well. I think this would be a great product for summer, when you get sunburns, or even for traveling this would be perfect.

 

The next product I have to review is by the brand Adovia, this is exfoliating facial salts. When I first heard this I was really interested. I don't think I have ever seen a product quite like this one before. Most of the exfoliating products I have found are just soaps that contains the exfoliating beads in them. In this case this is pretty much the beads that are in the jar all by themselves, which is pretty cool to be honest.

 

This product claims to do the following:

Natural facial salts improve your complexion, refresh and firm your skin while leaving it thoroughly cleansed.

These salts will infuse your skin with Dead Sea minerals while removing dead skin cells, leaving your face radiant, smooth and refreshed.

Eliminates Bacteria and excess oil

Exfoliates dead skin cells and pore clogging particles

Revitalizes and refreshes skin, revealing a new, healthy layer.

Stimulates facial skin circulation and tightens pores

Retails:($14.95)

 

As you can see this is a huge portion, and you really only need a little bit at a time. The application for using this product is pretty easy as well. You apply this to a wet face and then you gently rub it around. I thought this product was hands down amazing. I was so impressed with how clean and soft my face felt right after using this. I felt like this product got deep down in my pores and really cleaned them out. I love this product, and I love how many different skin types could use this as well. If you have super sensitive skin, then you could just use a real small amount and maybe even mix it in with your face wash. There is so much you could do with this products. I read on the package that this is strictly just for your face but I decided to think outside the box and try this on my leg and see how it did. I thought it did a great job as well, so I think you could probably use this anywhere which is pretty cool. I don't know how I lived without this before, I have been so addicted to this product.

 

Next we have a product by the brand Topganic, and this is hair mask treatment, which my hair really needed I have really damaged hair so any product like this always excites me.

 

The benefits for this product are:

 No Parabens & Paraffin free

Provides flexibility and softness

Replenishes your hair moisture level

Nourishes the hair fiber with crucial vitamins

Enriched with Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil and Vitamin A

Formulated for all hair types including dry & color-treated hair

Improves the look and feel of hair that has been damaged from heat styling

Retails:($13.95)

 

I used this product a few times sense getting it and I am loving it! You could use this product a few ways and I have tried pretty much all of them. You can use this in the shower in replacement of your conditioner, or you can just add an extra step after conditioning your hair and just let this sit on for a little longer, or if your hair is feeling a little dry you can just wet your hair and apply this product. I thought this product worked best when I washed my hair first then applied this. I was amazed with the consistency of this product as you can see, this is a really thick formula so it really applies nicely to your hair.  I thought the longer I let this sit on my hair the softer my hair felt afterwards. I would recommend just applying this to your driest parts of your hair like your ends. I made the mistake at applying this to my roots and wasn't impressed lol. I thought it made my hair feel a little greasy, but that was the only issue I had. I thought this product did a really good job at repairing my hair which is what I really needed!

 

The next product I have to share with you all is by Model in a bottle and this is a makeup setting spray. I actually just ran out of my previous one, so I was looking for a new one so this one came just in time lol.

 

Some benefits of this product are:

 Fast drying to a matte finish and never sticky

Will not hinder SPF efficiency

Contains moisturizing Aloe Vera

Made in the USA and not tested on animals

http://www.cleopatraschoice.com/mdl-0001.html

Retails:($15.95)

 

Right off the bat I must comment on the packaging! I love how all the packaging has a lot of pink in it which you all know I really like lol. I have always used setting sprays two different ones. The first way I typically use this product is by using it as a primer, and then the other way Is just by setting my makeup. I have to say I didn't really like this product for being a primer, but I did enjoy this product for a setting spray on its own. I thought this did such a great job at having my makeup stay all day! It didn't budge and I love the matte effect it left on my face. I was also impressed the scent of this product. I have never had a setting spray with such an amazing fragrance before. It smelt so great, and that really added to my love for this product. I can honestly say this is life changing product.

The next product is by GoPure and this an organic Argan Oil. I have heard amazing thing about argan oil and have been super interested in trying a product out like this. I have really dry hair and heard that product does wonders on dry and damaged hair.

The benefits of this product are:

Safely and effectively moisturizes dry skin for a more radiant, fresh, younger looking appearance

Lightweight moisturizer is easily absorbed into the skin and delivers maximum hydration

Can be used as gentle, all-natural makeup remover that moisturizes skin as it easily removes stubborn makeup

Adding a few drops to liquid foundation adds a dewy-youthful glow to your skin (see video below)

Great moisturizer for rough cuticles and strengthener for brittle nails

Serves as an all natural anti-aging night time moisturizer

Improves condition of hair, smooths and reduces frizziness

No Parabens, Additives, Fillers or harmful chemicals

Premium Grade A from Morocco. Cold pressed

Safe for all skin types

There are a lot of uses for the product however I just decided to stick to trying it on my hair only for this review. I must say I love the packaging of this product. The syringe really makes it easy to get the perfect amount of product and you don't have to worry about getting too much out at once, because if you do you can just suck it back up and put it back in the bottle which is really cool. I applied this product to the ends of my hair after taking a shower for a few days to get the full effect of this product. I must say even after day one I was amazed. This made my dry hair so incredibly soft it was crazy. I really wasn't expecting it to make that much of a difference but it really did. There are so many other ways you can use this product such as on your skin and on your nails, I am so excited to discover some new uses for this amazing product.

 

The last product I will be reviewing for you all is a Paraffin Wax & Coconut Oil Treatment by the brand Glove Treatment. On my recent trip to my nail salon I got this done so I am not familiar with what this process is all about.

 

The benefits for this product are:

All-natural paraffin formula restores, replenishes and soothes tired, dry feet while relieving the effects of aging, bursitis, fibromyalgia, psoriasis and multiple forms of arthritis.

All natural ingredients: Paraffin, coconut oil, lavender oil, polypropylene encaser

Paraffin wax is infused with natural pure essential coconut oil and lavender oil.

Paraffin wax heats quickly and stays warm during the treatment

Spa results in the comfort of your own home

Convenient and easy to use. One size fits all

Hygienic and safe. No mess, no fuss

Retails:($29.95)

 

Allow me to explain what is product really is, pretty much there are boots that are filled with wax. You simply place these in the microwave for a few seconds to get the wax nice and warm and then you place your feet inside of them and it's suppose to make your feet really soft. Like I mentioned earlier I got this done recently and loved the feeling of it, it was extremely relaxing and my feet were really soft afterwards.

 

 

 

Inside the box you will get the boots which are sealed up and two clips which are for you to use while doing this. This helps the bags stay in place. It says that you can reuse this up to 4 times which is kind of cool as well.

 

 

So this is what the product looks like out of the packaging, this is a picture of my feet inside of the boots. As you can see it looks a little strange lol. I must admit I was kinda scared I would mess this up because I am notorious for doing that but this time I didn't. The directions were really easy to follow. I really enjoyed doing this in my home. I thought it was a very relaxing thing to do after a long day, however afterwards I didn't think it made much of a difference to my feet. That might be also because I just got this done about a week or so ago. Also please note that this can get kinda messy so make sure that you have a towel close by you don't really want to get this wax everywhere....like I did lol oops! Overal I did like this product, I think I would recommend this mostly for relaxing!

 

Make sure you check this site out where all these amazing products came from!

Vitarall Review!

 

For today's review I have something a little bit different for you all. I will be reviewing a vitamin by the name of Vitarall. This is a vitamin you can order online of their website which is https://www.vitarall.com/. I have been on a health kick lately and I have been looking for some awesome new vitamins to try out so I was really excited to see these when they came to me in my P.O box!

 

 

I'm sure you all are probably thinking " Well what does this vitamin even do?" Allow me to explain this vitamin to you all this is something that claims to increase your brain function and raise your energy level. I will say this is probably the exact thing I have been searching for. I am always lacking in the energy and always looking for a boost. The added increase in brain function was an added bonus for me lol. This wasn't something that I was really looking for, but I mean ill take it right lol I think anyone would be okay with helping their brain function.

 

https://www.vitarall.com/products/2x-vitarall-80-tablet

Retails:($39.95)

 

I was sent two bottles, which is equivalent to a two month supply. On the bottle it says you are recommend to take two tablets daily but you can also take three if you would like. I decided to include some information from their webpage so you can get some more information of this vitamin directly from the creators.

 

"Here are important reasons why you must take VITARALL:

VITARALL improves alertness and mental clarity by supporting brain function with vitamins, and minerals.

VITARALL has Bacopamonnieri (Brahmi), one of the few herbs proven by many studies to help reduce anxiety and improve memory.

VITARALL is packed with essential vitamins and minerals that are absolutely needed by your body.

VITARALL is a totally safe multivitamin preparation which is suitable for teenagers and adults."

 

Please note that these images that were taken were right after I opened the package. I did in fact take these for an entire week to see if I felt any different. At the end of the week I will admit that I did feel a little more energized through out the day. I have just recently given up coffee and this really gave me the caffeine boost I have been missing from my coffee. I don't think I noticed any difference in brain activity but that just might be with just myself. I did really enjoy this vitamin and think this will be something I will continue to take for a while. I think this is the perfect vitamin for anyone that is looking for some extra energy throughout the day. All of those energy products that are out such as energy drinks and other edible products with boost of energy in them scares me so much! This is a much safer alternative and think this is a great idea.

Vitamin Vape! Review

 

For today's review I have a product that is very different from my typical reviews I have here on my blog. I will be showing you a product from the company Vitamin Vape. This is a company that makes electronic vapes that contain vitamins and other products that healthy for you as well. The vapes that make contain B12 which is an important vitamin that everyone needs in their life and most people never get the proper enough.

 

 

This is a pretty cool product that claims to give you a much higher serving a B12 that is needed for you each day. I really love the whole concept of this product. All you need to do is take a few puffs of one of these vapes, and then boom you have your recommend daily serving of B12 this is super convenient for people like me who are always on the go. These are super sleek so you can just pace them in your purse and you are good to go. Each day it is recommend to take 10 puffs a day which is really nothing, and takes no time at all. I received a three day of these which claims to last 42 days! Each vaporizer claims to contain 14 servings! Vaping is a pretty common thing now a days espically in younger people so I feel like this would be very appealing to the younger crowd out there.

 

https://vitaminvape.co/product/3-pack/

Retails:($27.00)

 

Here is some info on the actual vitamin B12:

 

What is B12?

B12 is an important vitamin that you usually typically get from your food. It is usually found in fish, meat, eggs, and dairy products.

 

What does the vitamin B12 do?

B12 makes red blood cells and DNA and it keeps your nervous system working properly.

 

How much B12 should we take a day?

We should have in the range 25-100 mcg a day

 

This is what is inside each box. As you can see this is super sleek design and really takes up no room at all. When you inhale the B12 the end of the vaporizer will light up with the LED light at the end of it. I love this product and think it is something completely different. The taste for the product isn't completely terrible, but it isn't amazing either. If i could change one thing about this product I would have to say that I would change the flavor. I would make this something more delicious and made sure it actually had some type of flavor to it. I feel like the ones I received contained no type of flavor at all. I know some people would like the fact that it has no flavor but for me I would rather have a flavor to make it a little more interesting!

 

The ingredient's for this product:

Vegetable Glycerin USP, Distilled Water, Organic Fruit Flavor Extract (Water, Organic Ethyl Alcohol, and Natural Flavors), Organic Vanilla Extract (Organic Vanilla Beans, Organic Ethyl Alcohol, Organic Cane Sugar), Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)

 

 

I have to say this wins the award for the most random thing I have tried here on my blog Lol I have never seen anything quite like this before. I love the concept of this product and eventually I think this product will be very successful and become available with other needed vitamins!

NovelExpression! Review!

I received probably one of  the most unique items I have ever reviewed here on my blog, these books are from a shop on Etsy by the name of NovelExpression

I received two different books from this shops. This first one I am going to review for all of you is a custom creation she did just for me. As you can see when you stand these books up they say something. She told me she could put pretty much anything in these books. I chose to go with my boyfriends name and my name. I really am terrible at taking pictures, but I'm hoping you can tell what this says. I have never seen anything quite like this before. It truly is a piece of gorgeous art, that I'm sure will get a lot of attention in your house from guests.

Even the books she uses are gorgeous! The one she created with my boyfriend and I's names looks like an old story book. The book itself is pretty big, and the sides of the pages has that old rim. I think this was the perfect book to use.

 

This next book was created for a giveaway I will be hosting here soon! You will all have the chance to win this book! If you are interested please stay tuned and I will be sure to update you guys with the process on how this giveaway will go. Brave is written on the pages of this book and I love it. This one is pretty basic compared to my other book, but it's still really gorgeous.

 

 

This book is Divergent which I know is pretty popular book right now and a lot of people like it :) I however haven't had the chance to read it yet. It is super gorgeous book as well.

 

 

I think this is one of the most creative shops I have ever found on etsy. I am blown away with how gorgeous these pieces are. These make great room décor and I cant wait to show them off. I love how customizable these are too. You can pretty much get whatever words you want, and pick from a variety of book to use too. I am in love with mine! Thank you so much!!!

SaraTheTickLady On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

Today I have some Planner stickers to review for all of you from a shop on Etsy by the name SaraTheTickLady

She sent me a pack of stickers that includes 756!

Holy Guacamole that is a lot of stickers lol. She sent them to me in a super nice envelope and even placed a piece of card board in the middle so they wouldn't get all bent up which was really nice. These stickers came on really big sheets, which was pretty cool as well.

I love this set of planner stickers. There really is a sticker for pretty much anything you an think of. The stickers themselves are paper stickers which is my favorite kinds. I have discovered that paper stickers are the ones that stick the best and don't usually come off the page as easily. Another good thing about the paper stickers, is that you can actually write on them or color them if you would like which is pretty cool. I love the design that she chose for these, they are rainbow colored and would surely brighten up any planner :)

Here's the breakdown of what is included in the sticker set consists of:

These stickers would make the perfect gift for anyone that has a planner :)

Stay tuned these will be one of the items you will be able to win in my giveaway!

SewFairyCute On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received a pretty cool bow tie from a shop on etsy by the name of SewFairyCute

This is probably one of the coolest bow ties I have ever seen. I got this for my boyfriend because he sucks at tying bow ties lol, and with this as an option it makes it much easier. These bows come on clips so they are pretty easy to use, you just clip and go! The quality of these are pretty nice as well. I was pretty surprised. This image is place on the bow perfectly, and looks really nice. The fabric is also really nice. I really wasn't expecting the bow to feel the way that it does. The fabric on this is on the thicker side, so it is a bit stiff, which is a good thing. Being that it is so stiff it makes it hard for the bow to get misshapen, which was another concern I had about these bow ties. This shop is filled with these bows! 

Another great thing about this shop is that each bow comes with a care card. It tells you all about how you should keep your bow tie, so it stays in perfect condition.

There are so many to choose from, I can almost guarantee you will find the perfect one for any guy in thiss shop!

These bow ties would be the perfect gift for literally any guy in your family! These would be perfect for the holiday season coming up!
