Parissa Review


I just tried my Parissa warm wax and I love it! My skin is super sensitive and it's really a struggle for me to go to a salon for a wax because there's nothing more embarrassing than walking around with a red face.

Parissa is a clean & simple solution for hair removal. Parissa's gentle, natural products result in salon-smooth skin that lasts for weeks. Skin stays smooth longer since regrowth is sparser and finer. Parissa also exfoliates skin & removes impurities for healthy, radiant skin. There's 3 easy ways for you to choose the right product.
*Choose by hair type
*Choose by product feature
*Choose by body area

Shop online or find a store location here. Also, send me an email at domesticsweetheart@yahoo.com to enter your name for the Parissa Warm Wax and exfoliating gloves! Contest ends Friday, November 27th.




Acme Made Review


This is by far the most stylish, efficient and durable work bag I have ever used. After all the years and money I spent searching for the perfect work bag I have finally found it! The Trixy bag is a product of Acme Made. Acme Made was created in 2002 with the sole purpose of designing, manufacturing and selling well-designed products to protect your computer and peripherals. The bag that I am using is the Chocolate Trixy.

The Trixy combines it all - style, functionality and value - in one sexy little bag. The Trixy is spacious enough to store your life and intelligent enough to keep it all in place, with lots of internal pockets, a matching removable laptop sleeve that fits most computer sizes, and even a matching accessories bag. The Trixy's a great bag for work, school and just about everything else in between.

Additional features include:

* Fits many of today’s most popular laptop models up to 15.4”.

* Fully padded and removable computer sleeve.

* Removable matching zippered accessory pouch (6 x 8 in) for separate storage.

* Highly water resistant exterior textiles.

* Top quality zippers with leather pull tabs make for easy access.




Lady Godiva Robe Review


I just LOVE my Lady Godiva Robe from eberjey! I have never felt so pretty in a robe until I found eberjey. Lady Godiva robes come in black/beige, chambray/beige, mocha/beige, pebble/beige & rosewater beige. I am SO impressed with the robe that I am going to start buying all of my lingerie from eberjey.

eberjey is the fresh, flirty line of lingerie that’s known for lush patterns, dainty detailing, and superb cuts that flatter real women’s bodies. And if that wasn’t enough, each item is designed to be as comfy as it is pretty. eberjey is simply the most delectable choice whether you’re replenishing your lingerie drawer with every day basics, or looking for that perfect special-occasion piece.

It all began when founders Ali Mejia and Mariela Rovito created their signature Boy Short, or French Brief—the ultimate antidote to other lingerie brands that confine women to unnatural ideas of standard beauty. The Shorts soon became a “must have” for flat-bottomed girls everywhere, and the line quickly expanded to include thongs, bras, swimwear, loungewear, and a variety of underpinnings in luxurious (and forgiving) stretch mesh nylon, super-soft pima cottons, and other extremely wearable fabrics.

It’s no coincidence that eberjey means “joy” in an obscure Nigerian dialect. Ali and Mariela continue to develop new items designed to bring out the love, happiness and confidence that make a woman truly beautiful. When you wear something that truly flatters and feels good against the skin, you can’t help but exude the same joyfulness that the eberjey brand represents!




Olivia Garden Healthy Hair Brush and Comb Review


I am SO impressed with my new Olivia Garden Healthy Hair Brush and comb. I never thought a hair brush could make such a difference until I tried Olivia Garden. Before using Olivia Garden I would practically cry out in pain because my hair would be so difficult to comb. It was seriously an instant relief when my bamboo comb smoothly straightened my wet hair and my blowouts have never looked so good as a result from the brush...really!

Olivia Garden’s natural bamboo hair brush with ionic cushion activates blood cell circulation and helps stimulate hair growth & reduce hair loss. It also promotes healthy hair cells and healthy scalp while restoring hair balance and shine!

It is made entirely of bamboo, an eco-friendly alternative to wood or plastic, the Healthy Hair Comb Collection boasts durable, strong combs with elegant striped designs. Availabe in four different sizes and styles, making detangling and styling both effortless and green, the collection includes:

HH-C1 - Created for tough tangles and short hair, the C1 is a small-toothed comb that doubes as an excellent styling aid.

HH-C2 - Featuring an elegant handle, this small-toothed comb is easy to handle and aids in detangling.

HH-C4 - A wide-toothed version of the C1, this versatile comb untangles the toughtes of snarls.

John Masters Organic Vitamin C Serum Review


I love my John Masters Organic Vitamin C Anti-Aging Face Serum! Most night creams leave my face feeling sticky and almost gooey when I wake up in the morning. John Masters Organic Vitamin C formula felt so light, soft and a bit tighter on my skin!

Why did I choose Vitamin C?
Vitamin C, in its natural amino-acid, polypeptide form, penetrates deep into skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crow’s feet and pre-mature again. Extracts of sea algae and rosebud provide intense moisture and antioxidants to help procollagen production. Superoxide dismutase and acerola help fight the aging effects caused by UV rays.

The Vitamin C anti-aging face serum protects skin from environmental damage, reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots, rejuvenates the skin and reduces appearance of freckles.

All ingredients must meet John’s strict guidelines
1. All final products must be 75-100% organic. (no petroleum based or non-carbon based products allowed).
2. All plant extracts and essential oils must be certified organic whenever possible.
3. All essential oils used must be steam-distilled and not extracted with propylene glycol – which kills the effect of the oils.
4. All plant oils must be cold pressed, not heat distilled – which kills the therapeutic properties of plant oils.
5. All ingredients must not be proven to be beneficial to the hair or skin.
6. All ingredients must be harvested in an environmentally-friendly manner (wild-crafted).
7. All ingredients must be bio-degradable as possible.
8. No artificial colors, fragrances or fillers may ever be used.

Derma e


Have you tried derma e ? For 25 years, derma e Natural Body care has been nourishing and beautifying skin with antioxidant-rich formulas that restore skin health and effectively reduce the signs of aging. The company is one of the fastest growing companies in natural skincare and continues to win multiple awards for effective, powerful formulas that deliver results.

I wanted to try derma e because unfortunately for me my skin has decided to break out in my later years, and nothing else that I have tried has seemed to work. My favorite is the Very Clear which helps clear up blemishes and encourage healthy skin with derma e’s interactive Very Clear formulas. With a special blend of herbs including Tea Tree, Willow Bark, Rosewood, Lavender and Chamomile, this advanced skincare system is as effective as over-the-counter products but with fewer side effects. Immediately, I could see and feel the difference. Brands such as Pro-Active tend to be harsh on my skin but Very Clear feel lightweight and allows my skin to naturally heal itself.

All of their products are free of parabens, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfates, petrolatum, mineral oil, artificial colors and are pH balanced, 100% vegetarian and cruelty-free.

Priti Review


I ABSOLUTELY love my new priti soy nail polish remover...

Typically, I really don't like the task of painting my nails at home. My reason being is that I cannot stand the smell of nail polish remover and I am not the only one who doesn't like it. My poor dog runs for the covers and the hubby tells me to go outside when I attempt to take off my old nail polish. L.O.L.

However, I have found a product that changes all of that! Priti soy nail polish remover is the first and only company to carry the exclusive 100% biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-carcinogenic forumula. It’s also housed in an apothecary style bottle that is completely recyclable. The luxury remover uses all natural ingredients to remove polish, and is now even more powerful thanks to a higher concentration of soy.

In fused with antioxidants and biodegradable coconut dea,soybean esters, and essential lemongrass oils, it contains no acetone or petroleum, and leaves hands and nails feeling moisturized and nourished with a sweet citrus scent. Priti Soy Nail Polish Remover also supports America’s organic farming industry, and is the only product of it’s kind to carry the EPA Stamp of Approval.

Check out their website here. You won’t be disappointed!
