My Review:  For decades I have heard about the wonders of jojoba enriched shampoos and conditioners.  Having tried those before, I did note that I liked those shampoos and conditioners with jojoba oil.  I have since liked the ability to purchase my own jojoba oil and add it to whatever product I desire, such as shampoos, conditioners and lotions.  Of course, just using jojoba oil plain and pure without any added ingredients is very beneficial too. I use this as a make-up remover, and apply to face every night and morning.

Today, I decided to try something new.  I'm all out of my go-to lotion and was debating about purchasing some more when I had the opportunity to review Foxbrim's large 4 ounce bottle of golden colored Jojoba oil.


This is the recipe I used:
1/4 c. coconut oil (not fractionated)
1/8 c. cocoa butter
1/8 c. shea butter

Heat until melted in a double boiler.

Add:
1 Tbs. aloe vera gel
1 tsp. Jojoba oil
1 tsp. Rose Hip Seed Oil
1 tsp. Vitamin E Oil

Mix well and refridgerate 1 hour.  Then add 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil.  Whip or mix with a blender or food processor.  Refrigerate again.  Will be semi-soft when using, but I've never had issues with this being greasy on my body once absorbed, which is quick, like just a couple of minutes.  My skin feels very hydrated and soft.  My husband even said my skin felt much softer and he even thought the lines around my eyes looked smoother. Yes!


I also just dyed my hair over the weekend, and it feels dryer than normal.  I added a small amount on my already dyed, washed, and dried hair.  It now shines, feels soft and no frizzies, and that's after being out in the high humidy (80%) prior to a big rain storm.  I'm going to add some of this wonderful jojoba oil to my husband's shampoo.  He doesn't like to use conditioners and I like his hair soft and silky.

I was very impressed that Foxbrim offered such a large 4 ounce bottle when so many other companies offer half that for the same price or more.  This is a great deal. Even though I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion, I really do like Foxbrim's products, and their Jojoba oil is amazing.

Pros:  Love everything about this oil for my skin and hair.  Great 4 oz. size bottle.

Cons:  None.

#turmericcurcumin
My Review:  I'm constantly amazed by the people my age who are on so many pain relievers OTC or prescription that do not find relief.  I often recommend Turmeric but they don't believe it will work. Well, I'm here to tell you that it does.  I honestly cannot take aspirin, or other OTC pain relievers without sever stomach cramps.  Even half doses are more painful in my stomach than the pain I'm trying to relieve.  The first time I got introduced to capsuled turmeric it was in a combination with other natural pain relievers.  It worked OK, but not nearly as good as the plain turmeric.  My stomach never cramps up, and seriously, within 30 minutes my pain has subsided.

For instance, the other night, I could not sleep.  My legs were extremely restless, and my lower back hips were in pain.  It didn't matter which position I tried to sleep, it was painful.  I got up and took 1 Turmeric capsule by Healthnex Supplements, without food.  My stomach never showed any signs of discomfort.  Within 30 minutes my restless legs had calmed down completely.  Within 40 minutes I was asleep with no pain from my lower back hips the rest of the night.  It was awesome.

I know they don't list restless leg syndrome as something turmeric helps with, but it does for me.  I often find relief by taking turmeric.

I also like just taking the capsule apart and using the turmeric as a natural yellow food coloring in foods.  My Thanksgiving Gravy was not only a beautiful color, but more healthy too.

Pros:  Great pain reliever and restless leg syndrome reliever.  Doesn't hurt my stomach even when I take on an empty stomach.

Cons:  None.

#beautyoils
Review:  We probably all know how wonderful pomegrantes are for our health.  Needless to say, I thought this would be a great oil to add to my daily beauty routine.  When BeautyOils.CO say it is an incredibly light oil, they are not joking.  It is clear, and because it is a light oil and absorbs very quickly into my skin, I find I use more of this oil than I do of others.  This is a fragrance free oil, or at least if it has a fragrance it is very light.

I've been applying this oil to my face, hands and feet.  My driest areas of my skin.  This oil works great under my foundation.  It actually allows me to blend my foundation easier.  I use Revelon Age Defying with Botafirm.

One thing I've noticed is that when I do apply the Pomegranate Seed Oil to my hands, I can do a load of dishes by hand, and I don't have to immediately apply lotions afterwards.  That's impressive to me. On days when I go makeup free, my face never feels oily after using the oil, but feels soft and silky all day long.

In just 1 weeks period of time in using this both night and morning, I'm seeing the fine lines around my mouth starting to fade away.  Yeah! If you want to see improvement then hurry on over to Amazon and purchase yours today.

Pros:  This really works at reducing fine lines and hydrating my skin without being oily.  Fragrance free.

Cons:  Wish it came in larger container.

Review:  I've been excited to try this product.  I certainly can benefit from all that it claims it will do. Well after a good 2 weeks or a little more, I have certainly seen improvement with my hands feeling softer and looking less old.  My sun spots are fading away quickly.  My face feels soft, supple and hydrated.  It also feels more firm.  I've tried this on my feet too, and noticing major improvement there too.

I recently added the Uni Premium Rosehip Seed Oil to my shampoo.  Wow!  I thought Argan oil was good, but this stuff is great.  My scalp felt really clean, and my hair was so soft and shiney.  I was greatly impressed.

My hubby is now trying this on scar tissue built up under his skin from acne.  We hope to see improvement for him.

If you haven't tried Rosehip Seed Oil, be sure to get some here.  You'll be glad you did.

Pros:  Love the fast results from sun spots fading, to softer skin, to softer silkier hair and cleaner scalp.  Great product.

Cons:  None.
