MenstruHeat

Heat Packs

These little heat packs are amazing. They heat up fast, and are very convenient. I keep these in a small bag, in my purse with some tampons. They are great for lower back pain. They work good for cramps too. I have very bad back pain and stomach cramps during that time of month, sometimes they are so bad I just stay in bed with a heating pad. They are easy to use, just open the pack, allow to heat for about 5-10 minutes, and peel & stick on skin or on shirt. I like that I can use these while i'm out, instead of being stuck home with a plugged in heating pad. They are also very discreet, no one will know you are wearing it. The pads provide non-medicinal, 100% natural heat therapy without any side effects. They are light-weight, portable and the adhesive works well. They provide 12 hours of continuous heat. You can purchase these heat packs here! I received these in exchange for an honest review.

CHI Argan Oil plus Moringa Oil Hair Care Line

I absolutely love my CHI flat iron, so I was super excited to try out one of their hair care lines. I switch hair products often, because after a while my hair seems to get use to them. This line has definitely made my favorites list. I love what it does for my hair, and it is one I will keep coming back too when I change up products.

My hair is thick, curly and long, it is also dry and a little damaged from styling, bleaching and coloring. The beach, pool and sun always affects my hair during the summer. These product, especially the masque has help reverse some of that damage and has helped hydrate my dry hair. It has made my look and feel more healthy, it is shiny and soft again too.

These products smell phenomenal. I have gotten so many compliments on how great my hair smells when i'm using these products.

Unisex Baby Costume

The costume I received was the reindeer hat. I was so excited to get it and try it out. The hat is very well made. it reminds me of the hats my grandmother use to knit us. It fit well and was soft, It looks so adorable, I can't wait until it gets cold out so Lily can wear it. It will be great for the colder weather and for the holidays. It is a really great product and very affordable. They have a lot of cute costumes to choose from and are great for Halloween, Easter, Christmas or winter. I would say the hat I received fits a baby 12+ months. This has to be hand washed, and hung dry. You can purchase this or other costumes here! received this costume in exchange for an honest review.
