Vera Adeline Dutton

Who in this world do you inspire to be?
I remember my childhood like it was yesterday and that memory is one thing I'm grateful to have. Growing up would have been so much different without my grandma she was always there with a guiding hand and an open heart.

 I was her shadow she would say where she went I went even when she worked. She took care of elderly sick people and I remember this one lady said tell that little girl with the big eyes to stop looking at me it creeps me out. Of course grandma just scooped me right up and told me I didn't have big eyes they were her eyes and she loved them. Oh how I love her. All the mud pies she pretended to eat and the paper dolls and dress up. As I grew up and took a job and a life of my own she always knew the right words to say when I was having a bad day. She would say Becky some people just can't help it. Or now Becky you can't have hate in your heart, you have to let that go. 

I have learned to do that as I have gotten older I just think well they can't help their stupid selves and then I think no Becky don't call them stupid that's just mean and hateful and remember what grandma taught you. All the stories she would tell. 

I love her stories I could hear them over and over again. If there is one person in this entire world I want to be when I grow up (if that ever happens) is my grandma my heart and my soul without her I don't know who I would be. To one she may be just somebody but to me she is my world.

Vanilla Mint Deodorant Creme

I have a confession to make. I never actually tried to use this as a deodorant although I feel like it would work for that I just keep mine in my purse and take a wiff every once in awhile as it smells yummy. With that said I did rub a little on my hand and blends quickly and is not sticky at all. But I did notice the scent doesn't stay on you.

Here is some company details:

Coconut oil has natural anti-bacterial properties as well as soothes and conditions the skin.

Bella Eleganze 3d fiber lash mascara

                                Buy Now
You see the spidey lashes of younique and it scares you away from fiber mascara. I totally understand that was me before trying this mascara. I read many of the reviews and had no trouble applying this. I started by curling my lashes and then applying my regular mascara and letting it dry. Once dried I applied the gel and then quickly the fibers. Surprise it Did not bother my eyes at all. I only applied about midway up my lashes. I should have done a before picture as I virtually have no lashes but I do have an after photo and look at them lashes no spidey eye just pretty lashes.

Love it myself and will without doubt buy this when my tube runs low.

So your getting married and you need a ring

When your in the market for that perfect ring and your on a small budget where do you turn? 
I found one of the most gorgeous cost efficient sets I believe I have ever seen. This set is sterling silver and beautiful with lots of detail not only on the top but on both the sides of the ring as well. It's true to the size and shines at all angles. A great alternative to the over priced diamonds and gold and just as lovely. I would recommend this ring to anyone in the market for a wedding band set.

Get your karaoke on

We do lots of karaoke at my house and my husband plays almost every instrument made so good quality sound is important to us.
I was presented with an opportunity to review the Audio 2000s ADM1064B Dynamic Karaoke / Vocal Microphone and I must say for a 10 dollar mic this produces great sound without the feedback that many mics have. The cord is plenty long and the 1/4 jack will fit any amp. We have many mics that cost so much more and this is comparable to them.

                       Buy now on Amazon


Every good mic needs a decent mixer so along with this mic I received the Audio2000's Aud7005 6-Channel Portable Audio Mixer.  This is ideal for drum kit microphones, quartets singing microphones, guitars and even keyboards.  This makes an Excellent splitter. As an example you can take 4 quarter inch Jacks whether that's mics or instrument's plug them into the mixer then into a power amp which allows you to individually control the volume. This also frees up spots on your amp. Easy to use and portable as the you have the option of plugging it into the wall or operate with batteries.  Produces clear quality sound and I love the portability.

grab one of these too because you are gonna love it.

sport towel on amazon



- LIGHT WEIGHT AND COMPACT DESIGN: Weighing less than 150 grams - that's less than your average fruit weighs - the Youphoria Multi-Sport Travel Towel is 50% lighter than leading cotton alternatives. The compact design enables you to pack and take it anywhere!
- UNIQUE STAY-DRY TECHNOLOGY: Our towels are 100% microfiber, which dries tremendously faster than the leading alternatives. Microfiber can hold up to 4X its weight in water but dries 5X faster than normal cotton towel, and it will even dry quickly when you have it folded up or stored in your bag. Microfiber is designed specifically for this use. Ultra-soft, Super-Absorbent, Ready to go!
- CONVENIENT HOOK: No one likes a towel on the floor and often times if you hang dry you towel it's not able to get the air it needs to dry quickly! Other towels either have a very small hook that isn't really that useful or are missing the hook altogether. We've re-developed our hook to be very practical and work in a variety of situations. Be confident that you'll never have to throw over rail or lay on the ground.

Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil & Massage Oil

Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil & Massage Oil

Besides the fact that this oil is great for your skin and your hair all by itself it also makes a great carrier oil for all those essential oils you don't know what to do with. Many say it's non greasy and even the company themselves but I do find it to be greasy at least on Me so I can't use very much. However it's affect on my hair and skin are night in day compared to all other products I have tried. My skin is smoother and my hair looks much more shiny and not in an oily way but a healthy way. Another great thing is it has a very long shelf life.

pick it up here on amazon and start renewing your skin.


-The fractionated coconut carrier and massage oil by GoPure creates a barrier on your skin, but does not clog your pores.

-The shelf life, with proper storage conditions is indefinite. The product needs to be stored in a cool location, out of the direct sunlight.

-Ideal product for massage therapy due to the ability for the oil to remain in liquid form provided by the fractionating process.

It offers a feather-light emollient, providing a soothing barrier, without the risk of clogging your pores, and is ideal for dry or otherwise troubled skin.

Superstart car battery

I had to let you guys know about this battery I'm not an auto mechanic and don't really know all that much about cars but what I do know is last Friday my car wouldn't start. You know the dreaded click click click of a dead battery. Saturday I went to O'Reillys which is where I bought the battery and of course thinking I hadn't had it all that long thought I would swap it out under my warranty. Little did I know I have had it since 2007. Today this year is 2015 that makes this battery 8 years old and had no problems until now. I'm amazed. Even O'Reillys employees were impressed. I will never buy another brand you had me at you bought this battery in 2007. Job well done.

P.s. the employees were able to charge it up and I used it a whole week longer.

Hair Symphony Detangling and Soft Hair Brushes with Cosmetics Bag

So of course when I saw this I just knew I had to have it because I have very long and very thick hair. I think it works just ok but not anything special. I actually prefer my regular hairbrush over this. The detangler pokes me in the head and the regular brush isn't even comfortable to hold. Now of course that's just my opinion others swear by it and really love it. Just check out some of the Amazon reviews and you will see others love it. If your interested you can pick this up at the following link:

100 % Pure Organic Argan Oil Skinology Beauty Solutions

When it comes to Argan oil I'm a firm believer in its power of results. For those of you that don't know Argan oil has a magnitude of benefits for this like your hair, your skin and your nail growth. So of course I was more than happy to review this product at no charge to me through Tomoson. Now the sticky part when it comes to Argan oil not all oils are created equal although if it's pure they pretty much are. I have reviewed many brands of Argan oil all of these being pure. Argan oil does have a smell that's not pleasant it's not a real bad smell  but to me not the greatest. With that said the smell quickly disappears and what your left with is glowing healthy skin and hair. I actually think I have used this one the longest and like that it is backed by the USDA as certified organic. I just apply two drops in my palm and blend into my hair or if applying to skun I mix with lotion. I believe it has made a difference in the shape of my hair as I color often. So I would recommend this particular Argan oil for anyone in the market. You can pick this up on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/b00rpo79gm

Day by Day Beauty Facial Blotting Paper

https://instagram.com/p/zd8SS6ia6s/

I received this product at no charge to me through Tomoson.  I have been using these for about a month and I'm not sure what to think of them. I have a love/hate relationship.  My mind tells me I need to use these because it says they are for beauty but yet it also tells me it's only a tissue paper or what you would use on the ends of your hair when you get a perm. I'm not totally convinced they do anything for me but then I tend to have a more dry type of skin and use many products for the dryness. I did however use these once on my husband who has more of an oily skin type and it did remove oils from his face. So with that said I would say if you have oily skin these might be good for you but if your combination to dry I think I would pass.

GO-410 Finger Pulse Oximeter by Gurin

Anyone who knows me knows I'm sucker for pink so of course I was excited to review the GO-410 Finger Pulse Oximeter.  This comes in a cute little case for easy carrying and storage. The pulse ox takes two triple a batteries which are included along with a user manual. I find it to be accurate and speedy. The pulse ox has an auto shut off so when it does not detect a heart beat it will shutoff. The instructions were easy to follow and the price on amazon isn't bad either.

I love this hairdryer it has cut my drying time in half and ensures I get to work timely every morning. With the option of drying on a cool setting not just a cool shot button like most hairdryers this makes it one of the best in the market. It's a little bigger the what I'm use to but it's very powerful. I love the charcoal gray color and I think it's reasonably priced as well. The cord is a swivel cord with extra long length to 1 prevent cord tangles and 2 so your not standing on top of the mirror while drying. Overall I would say a well constructed and durable dryer that I would gladly recommend to anyone.

Go check them out on amazon and while your there check out some of their other products as well.
