Colon Cleanse by Hera Prime Review

Retail Value: $17.97 (60 caplets)

My diet sucks. Literally. I've tried eating right but not only is the good stuff expensive (why does 12 doughnuts costs less than a bag of grapes, I don't know), but it's boring. That's how I use to think until, ahem, going to the bathroom became a chore.

Sparing you the dirty details, when it seems as if constipation was about to win this long, dry battle and split me to no end, I decided to try detoxing. Along with my cucumber and lemon water, I decided to give Colon Cleanse by HeraPrime a try.

According to the directions, 2 pills taken twice per day should help aid the cleansing:

Day one: Nothing
Day two: Nope
Day three: Wtf? Am I that backed up?
Day four: Surprise!!!

I liked that when it did began to work, it was gentle and didn't make me feel as if I had to run to the bathroom and there no stomach cramps associated with digesting the pills. I do feel a little bit energized and I don't feel as sluggish as before.

If you're looking for a quick turnaround, these may not be the right pills for you. However, I liked the fact that it took a bit for the ahem, elimination process to start and now I'm more regular instead of "going" every three days.

CushionCare Memory Foam Seat

Retail value: $48.99 (Black Friday sale price)

About three weeks ago, I slid down 13 steps leading from my bedroom and landed HARD on my butt on the landing. Man, words cant express the excruciating pain I was in! To top it off, I have a job where I am required to sit for long periods of time! There was no pillow, blanket, cushion in my home that could help soften the blow and pain I felt when sitting and getting up! I dreaded the simple task of sitting in a chair or getting in my car. 

When the opportunity to review this product for in exchange for a honest review, I jumped at the chance! I submitted my petition for this cushion and prayed that I would be accepted and I was!

The cushion came packaged securely and wrapped in plastic with a nice welcome card. The seat itself is nice and firm and the cut out provided much needed relief from the pain of my tailbone due to the constant pressure of the seat of my chair. It allowed my injury to heal without constant pressure on the bruising.

I am no longer in pain, yet I still use this cushion to this day. It is still firm and it actually helps my posture as well. I'm glad I didn't settle for one of those standard donut pillows as suggested. This seat is a godsend!

Instanatural Dead Sea Mud Mask Review

Retail value: $25.94 (16oz jar)
I ashamed at the age of 38, I am now starting to think about facial skincare. All of my life I've had a babyface and looked much younger in appearance and I think I want to continue to do so!

From serums, creams, moisturizers, etc. I have taken a nosedive into preserving my youthful appearance for as long as I can. I have yet to to try any facial mask, so when given the opportunity to try Instanatural's Dead Sea Mud Mask, I had to jump at the chance since I am a huge fan of their products.


The jar is huge and the amount of product for the price is reasonable ( and I am a cheapskate). With weekly use, I can easily see this product lasting at least six months if not longer. The consistency of mask is nice and thick and it only required one scoop for me to spread the desired thin layer onto my face (avoiding the eye and lip area) as instructed.


Once applied and as it began to dry, the tightening effect that took place was nothing short of amazing! It pulled so tightly on my skin, I could barely move my lips and I loved it! I let it sit for 15 minutes, then reluctantly rinsed the mask of with warm water, following up with the other products I use in my skincare routine. Here is the result after ONE USE...


No filter! I loved this mask so much that after much nagging and convincing, my boyfriend gave it a try and he also fell in love with it! He also had the audacity to suggest that I give him weekly facials now. Ummm, not with my mask, I won't!
Seriously, this mask even trumps a well known and much pricier mud mask that I tried just a week prior to receiving this product! Instanatural wins again in the skincare department!

Vitamin C Serum by Day by Day Beauty Review

Retail Value: $19.50, 1 FL OZ.

OK, I may be a little biased when it comes to reviewing this product; mainly because of two reasons:

1. It was made by a company based in my home state ( Illinois).

2. The color of the bottle is my favorite color, blue. Also, the quality of the glass  bottle wasn't spared any expense.

Enough of that. I call this the "The Little Bottle That Could". Though I'm not a huge fan of the thin consistency of the liquid ( It is a bit thinner and runny compared to previous tested serums), that doesn't stop this small bottles effect.





I have been using this bottle for about 1.5 months and not consistently either. Even with my laziness, I can still see results! My skin looks refreshed,   healthier, and no longer appears drab and dull. The area around my eyes are soft and I can't keep my hands off of my face! I can imagine how this product will truly work if I stop being lazy and use it more consistently!

While the price is a bit off putting, I am glad to know I have this product in my arsenal of skincare products!

Instanatural Pore Tightening Vitamin C Facial Toner

Retail Value: $17.75, 4. FL OZ bottle

I was in the market looking for a toner to complete my skincare regimen and  was given the opportunity to try this product out.

Shipping was fast (As usual being a Prime customer) and I was eager to open up the box and try out this toner.

My first impression once I had the bottle in my hand, was that I wished the wording on the label was black. White wording against yellow/orange background made reading the ingredients and directions a bit hard for me to read.






I was a bit surprised to see the toner in a spray bottle that dispels a fine mist. Most toners sold in stores are packaged in open cap bottles where you have to pour the toner onto a cotton pad or ball. I was a bit apprehensive about spraying my face with this especially when I tried it out initially. After a couple of uses, I adjusted to it and I actually like it packaged in a spray bottle. Being clumsy, at least I won't have to worry about spilling the contents should I ever knock the bottle over while in my tiny bathroom.

I don't know why I expected this toner to have a citrus smell to it. Maybe because the color of the label reminds me of oranges and lemons (Go figure).
I can't think of anything to compare the smell of the toner to. One thing is for certain and that is the toner doesn't have a heavy fragrance to it which is a great thing. While the scent of the toner isn't unpleasant nor does the scent lingers, it just smells different. Almost medicinal in a sense.

As for the results after using this toner, I will definitely say that I am impressed with how it works. My skin does feel tighter without a drying effect and although I've never had any issues with enlarged pores, my pores seem to look as if they have diminished a bit more in appearance.

As a new person to starting her first skincare regimen, I can't say how this toner compares to other well known brands that are currently on the market especially with the retail price, but I will say that I am quite satisfied with the results of this toner. Will I purchase  another bottle? I'm very price conscious and I don't see myself shelling out $20 for a toner, but at least this products does what it states on the bottle!

Naturalico Cellulite Cream with Retinol & Caffeine

Retail Value: $19.99

I had yet another opportunity to try and review another cellulite cream and rate its effectiveness on the drawn out war of cellulite reduction.

Once again, the smell of the cream was a bit strong for my sensitive nose. While the scent didn't linger, the first whiff will surely catch your attention!





The product's consistency is very cream and a bit runny. It also left a slight sticky/tacky feeling on my hands, causing me to have wash my hands immediately after applying the cream.

I have been using this cream for about 3 weeks and while I'm not anxious to say if it is working, one could incorporate this product into a lifestyle where fitness and healthier eating is the main focus.
