Ocarina of time

I grew up loving Zelda. Such a fun game. Me and my little brother would sit and play the game for hours at a time. 
We also enjoyed watching the Zelda cartoon series.

This Ocarina was a wonderful product to review. I am not too great at playing it yet but I have been practicing and hopefully will get better. 

Looks lovely as well on my shelf. It has 12 holes and comes with a string to tie on the bottom. I chose not to use the string.

Hot Pink Universal Sports Armband

I recently decided that I wanted to start exercising more and eating better so that I can lower my blood pressure. I usually walk a mile a day since I am starting off and I go to our local duck pond to walk the trail and feed the ducks. Occasionally my mom goes with me and we talk and walk but on days that I go alone I feel a little bored.
I figured I might as well bring along my ipod or my phone sometimes and listen to music as I walk , I received this sports armband the same week after thinking that which was a good coincidence for me!!
I have large arms and this armband doesn't fit my upper arm so I wear it on my forearm. I love the bright pink color and the reflective material outlining the edge that way people can see me if its in the evening and getting darker outside.
There is a key holder on the band as well which is super convenient so I don't have to carry my car key in my hand as I am walking. Most of my workout clothes don't have a pocket so this is a plus.
My phone fits perfectly inside the holder , I have a Samsung galaxy 4 and my ipod touch fits perfectly as well when I carry it along .

Tools 4 Wisdom Planner

Hey everyone! Its me again , and this time I am here to share a planner with you guys. I typically do not use planners but recently I decided that its time to get organized and what better way to start than with a planner?? So I requested to review this planner from the company Tools4wisdom.

I was super excited once I received it because it is so pretty! Bright colors and very detailed design on the front. The planner is very thick and once I looked inside I saw why.
Each month starts off by asking you what are your goals for that month , how do you plan to achieve those goals? As well as what would you like the outcome to be? I love that its so personal because I enjoy writing down my thoughts so this was just perfect for me.

The planner runs from May 2015 to April 2016. Each month has the same layout in weekly format , monthly format , or daily . Whichever you prefer.

It also has little quotes and I really like that because I love reading poetry and quotes , they help me to think positive and to motivate my self each day.

I believe everyone would enjoy this planner , its great for starters like myself and also great for someone that has always used a planner. I love all the bonuses besides just being a calender!

Lift Care Lemon Essential Oil





If you're like me you enjoy using essential oils around your home. I have a diffuser so I enjoy placing different scented oils in it during the week to have a nice fresh smelling home.
I also enjoy using oils in my bath water as well.

I received the chance to try out this lemon oil and i enjoyed it . I love the smell of anything citrus , it makes me fell as if my house is just sparkling clean  *even when it isn't * .

There are several uses for the lemon oil , you can use it as stated earlier in a diffuser , the scent is supposed to be energixing and uplifting. I t also helps to remove any smoke odors from the home.
You can use this oil on your skin because lemon helps lighten dark spots.
You can mix a few drops with water and use it for a disinfectant on your countertops and even as a disinfectant for your skin , bug bites , scratches , etc.
Also you can place a few drops in your water to drink as a detox for your body.

Vitamin C eye gel

Many of us moisturize our skin on a daily basis , after all the skin is the largest organ. We need to keep it smooth and refreshed to help keep those nasty wrinkles and fine lines away ( at least for a while until our age catches up with us )
Several of us however forget to moisturize our eye area . It is important as well so why not right??

If you have dark circles , puffy eyes and/or sagging skin around your eye area a eye gel is for you!!
I have heavy eyelids and I have considered surgery to fix the issue but I am going to try and continue this eye gel routine to see if it helps. I have only been using this for a short time and haven't noticed any miracle , however though I am noticing a more brightening appearance around my eyes.

I use this gel once at night and I use a small pea sized amount and gently tap it around my eyes.
It has a light cucumber scent to me , I have sensitive skin and this hasn't caused any irritation at all.
I definitely would recommend this eye gel. The only bad thing about it is how small the container is but other than that its a great product.

What I think :

Identity theft is a growing problem these days. Several people have it happen to them daily. Scammers are so sneaky and now they even use equipment to read your debit/credit card numbers while they are in your wallet/purse/pocket. Insane!!!!!

One easy way to protect yourself from being a victim is to use these sleeve cards. They come in different designs if you want something pretty and just plain white if you prefer something more simple. 
Just slide your credit/debit card into the sleeve and your done. 

Now this doesn't mean that identity theft cant happen to you because it can occur from shopping online and even using it at local stores ... but at least you can feel safe about it not being stolen while in your pocket inside a Blockit sleeve.

Ankit air freshner

I am a huge fan of any type of smell good product. I collect soaps and perfumes as well as scented oils and air fresheners. 
I love for every room in my home to smell lovely...and my car as well. 

I was excited to receive this air freshener because it was in the scent jasmine which I have never had before. The packaging is really cute...a pretty white daisy paper air freshener. Easy to hang up over the rearview mirror in my car. 
Unfortunately though the air freshener only lasted a day!! I know what some of you may be thinking "oh ashley you just got use to the smell quickly and didnt notice it was still lingering". NOT so.... I asked different friends to get in my car and they didnt smell anything. 
Such a huge dissapointment. This air freshener only lasted maybe a good 10 hours??? 
I would NOT recommend this at all.

I am a newbie when it comes to serums but so far the few I have tried I do enjoy. 
Including this serum. 

I love the way it feels when I apply it to my face. It glides on smoothly and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. 
I notice a glow to my skin when I use it but so far thats the only difference I have noticed since using the serum.

The packaging is very pretty and modern. I also like the size of the bottle. Small enough for travel.

Pizza Cutter

This is not my favorite pizza cutter  , I tried so hard to love it.
Its got a large hand grip and its easy to get ahold of , but sadly the blades do not cut well. I had to run them over the pizza with lots of pressure just to get it to slice a thin tostino brand pizza.
