Konjac Sponge – French Red Clay – Gentle Exfoliating Facial Sponge by Oleavine

Posted on January 14, 2015 by EmpowerMoms

I received this product complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

This sponge is AMAZING!! I have never used anything like it before. It feels so nice against my face and my skin felt very soft and clean afterwards. It did not feel harsh or irritate my sensitive skin.

I let it soak for a minute in warm water, then washed my face without using any cleanser, then squeezed it in between my hands to dry. Make sure you read the directions because it says not to wring it dry like you would a washcloth.

Fast shipping through amazon. Very very pleased with item!! It’s currently showing out of stock.

“MIRACLE SPONGE” FOR YOUR DAILY BEAUTY REGIME – No other beauty sponge will work so hard for you! This luxuriously soft sponge gently exfoliates, cleanses, and is naturally pH balanced. The natural fibers help absorb excess oils, impurities and acne causing bacteria while leaving your face refreshed and radiant. Helps stimulate blood circulation and accelerate skin regeneration, leaving radiant and hydrated skin. Even preps skin to boost the absorption of your favorite serums and creams.

LUXURIOUSLY GENTLE EXFOLIATION FOR DAILY USE – Soft enough for a baby’s skin while still providing effective exfoliation. Relaxing and gentle for daily use even on the most sensitive skin. Say goodbye to the irritation caused by harsher exfoliating methods and expensive electronic gadgets. You don’t even need to use a face cleanser, unless you want to.

NEW IMPROVED TEARDROP SHAPE – FOR FACE AND BODY – New ergonomically designed teardrop shape fits comfortably in the palm of your hand while the soft rounded point allows you to gently exfoliate sensitive hard to reach areas around your eyes. Ideal shape for the contours of your face but still large enough for your body. You’ll love using it in the shower or by the mirror!

100% NATURAL, ECO-FRIENDLY and BIODEGRADEABLE – We painstakingly evaluated countless Konjac sponges on the market before putting our reputation behind this beauty. Our Konjac fiber is grown on the pristine volcanic plains of Jeju Island in South Korea, free from chemicals, pollution and irritants. The sponge hydrates quickly, and lasts longer with proper care than others we tested.

Walk On: 15-Minute Fast Fat Blasts with Jessica Smith

Posted on January 14, 2015 by EmpowerMoms

I preorderd this dvd the second I found out about it and received it this week. I have been using JessicaSmithTV youtube and dvd workouts for years and I really love her style and personality!

This Walk On: 15 minute Fast Fat Blasts dvd includes (4) Fat Blasting Fitness Walks-no equipment necessary.

1. FAST FAT BURN: (15:40 mins) some of the moves include side steps, jacks, jogging, and hamstring curls.
2. BELLY BLASTER: (15:58 mins) Standing Ab work-some of the moves include torso twists, side steps, standing crunches, and v steps.
3. POWER PICKUP: (15:58 mins) some of the moves include speed walking, patterns, knee ups with arms, v steps, arm patterns, skaters.
4. DANCE WALK: (16:10 mins) some of the moves include fist pumps, step taps, side steps, mixer circles, and hand clasps. Very fun workout!

In every workout Jessica is in the middle; Debbie is on my right who does the simplified moves; and Beth is on my left who does the more challenging moves. All three women are upbeat, smiling, and make the workouts more fun!

Each workout includes 1-2 minutes of a warm up and cool down. The moves are fast paced, and at times the patterns are a little complicated, so I wouldn’t recommend this dvd to an absolute beginner. If you like fitness walking, like Leslie Sansone workouts, I think you will love this one!

I highly recommend this new Jessica Smith dvd, especially if you want a quick, effective workout!

“The One Year Devotions for Active Boys” book review

Posted on January 14, 2015 by EmpowerMoms

I gave this book to my 13 year old son to read and he has seemed to enjoy it so far. I love that they have mini spiritual devotions, as well as activities to keep him engaged through out the entire book. They are short enough to keep his attention but still teach him something.

Each daily devotion has a lesson; some kind of activity like a puzzle, joke, quiz etc.; a prayer prompt; and a scripture.

I would recommend this book for older elementary school boys through middle school age.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Tyndale Publishers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Amazon Book Description:
This fun devotional includes 365 upbeat devotions, each with a special twist or dose of humor to keep active boys engaged. The devotions combine Scripture and a spiritual message with jokes, riddles, puzzles, and hands-on activities to engage tween boys. The devotions help boys find how real people interacted with God and help them discover solutions to contemporary issues. Each devotion will help guide a young man in developing a lifetime habit of learning from the Bible. Themes include how to navigate the Bible, make good choices, discern God’s will, use good and uplifting language, avoid temptation, choose good friends, trust God, etc.

I’ve been using this moisturizer for about a week and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. The smell is a very light, nice fragrance which I like. I haven’t noticed it lightening my acne scar spots, but I may need to use it longer to see any results. I also have to use more than a dime size like they suggest because it’s not enough moisture for my face.

This is the first product I’ve tried from this company-fast shipping from amazon and came as described.
