Patriot Perks

Smiley360 Sponsored

Patriot Perks has partnered with some top brands to offer great deals in thanks to our Military families and is  essentially a commissary perks loyalty program.  

From what I am understanding with Patriot Perks is that if you spend a certain amount of money you get to choose from a perk. Or I know if you go to the PatriotPerks.com website it directs you to another page for Military members to enter into a giveaway. 

To be 100% honest with you, that is all I know. My Grandfather lost all of his Patriot Perks information and Google really isn't much of a help either. 

Smiley360 sent me a small little package of sample sized goodies as well as a couple full sized goodies. Also in the package were 2 $25 gift cards. One for basically anything and one that is a Commissary Gift Card.

In the box was 2 Strawberry Mini Note Pad's, 1 Smuckers Salted Caramel Desert Topping, 2 Folgers Vanilla Coffee Samples, 2 Folgers Decaf Coffee Samples, 2 Folgers  Mocha Flavor Enhancers, and 2 Tabasco Mini Sample Bottles (cutest things EVER)

Monat Global Rejuveniqe™ Oil Intensive

iFabbo Sponsored Product

I have this entire page written about this product but I think I am just going to forego EVERYTHING I wrote down and re-do this entire review. I wrote that review after only using that for maybe two weeks...now it's been a little over 6 weeks and I think my opinion has changed on this product. (surprise,surprise)

How about a little bit of information about the Monat Global Rejuveniqe™ Oil Intensive product before we get into said review!

The oil itself contains all of these yummy goodies!

• Abyssinian: The Key ingredient in Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive. From the crambe abyssinica plant native to central Africa, it’s a rare and unique combination of fatty acids prized for their ability to do everything from mimic the effects of silicon for unbeatable shine; lubricate the hair deep into the follicle; and protect and coat each strand.

• Baobab: The renowned baobab trees have grown for centuries in the arid climates of India and Africa, and its exotic oil from the tree’s seeds are rich in antioxidant-rich palmitic acid and Vitamin F.

• Buriti: The fruit of Africa’s Moriche palm – known as the Tree of Life – is one of the world’s richest sources of beta-carotene, which moisturizes and nourishes.

• Camelia: Also known as tea-seed oil, it’s ultra-hydrating oil responsibly harvested from China that cleans the scalp and pampered dry stands thanks to its abundance of Vitamin E and polyphenols.

• Carrot Seed: Specially sourced from the mountains of Switzerland, it’s rich in Vitamin A to condition the scalp, plus Alpha Linolenic Acid for anti-inflammatory protection.

• Monoi: Selectively sourced from the warm tropics of Tahiti, it’s a restorative oil rich in Omega 3 and fatty acids to heal damage and promote growth from the root.

• Meadowfoam: This oil is sourced right from the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Named for its flowers’ resemblance to white foam on the ocean, meadowfoam oil is another outstanding source of Omega 9 fatty acids for shine and sheen.

• Moringa: Ancient Egyptians prized Moringa Oil for its nourishing properties, thanks to antioxidants and Vitamin E, which help combat skin fatigue, plus clean and purify the scalp.

This oil retails for a whopping $99 USD or if you are a VIP customer you pay only $84. This product can be used on your Hair, Face and Body! I must say that, I LOVE the scent of this! It's very citrus-y and I LOVE citrus scented things so this is right up my alley!!

 Like I had said, I've been using this product for a little over 6 weeks and for my hair, I've not seen much of a difference. Since I dyed my hair back to what USED to be it's original color (long story) my hair has been pretty dry, not to mention that I need to desperately get it trimmed. Now, there has been some difference in my hair, but just not what I was expecting considering all of the good thing that are in it. Maybe I had too high of expectations. For myself I found that just for this to not make my hair a giant greaseball I had to SKIP my conditioner when I washed my hair. That's not exactly a bad thing, but as dry as my hair is I need all of the moisture I can get. Maybe because I didn't use it every day? Or maybe I used too much or two little? I've had a pretty positive experience with this oil, which I am greateful for!

They say that this product is good for all skin types (yes even us oily skinned gals), but I didn't have enough courage to use this on my face. I've been fighting a couple nasty breakouts that I finally got rid of (woohoo!) and I just didn't want to risk getting more. I did use this on the dry spots on my feet and it did help! I used it in combination of a couple other products and the heels of my feet have definitely gotten softer! 

If you look in the picture below on the left side I used NO oil and on the right I used no oil, There definitely is a difference. I will say this though, if my hair was trimmed of all of it's split ends I do think that I would have had different results with this product. Since I kept this mostly on the ends of my hair, I didn't see much of a difference except that it made it look a little smoother and it straightened my hair out more then if I didn't use it. 

I did have a pretty positive experience with this product and when I get my hair trimmed I do plan on giving this another go..I am still using this on my hair, so it obviously has made a good impression on me! I will say that I love that it was formulated without NO Phthalates, PEG, DEA/MEA, Sulfates, Parabens, Harsh salt systems, Harmful colors, Harmful fragrances.

Have you tried this? Do you think you'd be able to shell out the $99 to try this out?!

INGREDIENTS: Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil, Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Seed Oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Adansonia Digitata Oil, Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Caryocar Brasiliense Fruit Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil.

Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies With Biotin Review and GIVEAWAY

Press Sample

Hello Everyone! I hope you're all doing well!

Today I have a review of Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies with Biotin! Stay tuned towards the bottom for a giveaway!

I used these gummies for 30 days as part of the Nature's Bounty 30-day Hair, Skin and Nails Challenge. The bottle contained 80 gummies total, with no milk/lactose, artificial flavors, soy, gluten, wheat, yeast, fish, or sodium.  The three main ingredients are Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Biotin, which all work to strengthen hair and nails and keep skin looking great. The nutrients help support natural beauty from within: Vitamin E contributes to skin health, Vitamin C is involved with collagen production, and biotin acts at the base of the nail and also promotes healthy hair.

The gummies themselves are Strawberry flavored and remind me of strawberries and cream, which I am not the  biggest fan of but they're pretty tasty, I actually grew to like these quite a bit! This has 2g of sugar in it, but they're sweet enough that they were my sweet treat every day!

I started out by taking ONE gummy ONCE a day, but after about a week or two I started taking TWO gummies once a day. They suggest taking two gummies once or twice a day, but I just took them once a day. Hair and skin wise, I've seen a great improvement! I'm really impressed with these gummies. This is going to be really gross, but I can go almost two weeks between washes, where I used to have to wash my hair every other day because it got that oily. You can't even tell that my hair is oily! My hair itself has also felt thicker and more full. I have thin hair and it lays pretty flat a lot of the time, but my hair has just been.. well to put it lightly, I've been enjoying it. Skin wise, I've seen a HUGE improvement. It has not been as oily as it typically gets, and with living in Florida my skin gets very oily. My skin has also looked more vibrant, if that makes sense. It just looks healthier.

As for my nails, they've been growing like crazy BUT they've not been any stronger. They're still paper thing and just...well just shoddy. I know a lot of people had amazing results when it came to using this with their nails, but for me I didn't have the greatest. I'm going too keep taking these though and hope that since I'm changing how I'm eating and what not, that I will have better luck!

I really love these gummies and I've been recommending them to EVERYONE, who asks me about Vitamins.
