Tan more quickly while protecting your skin.



For those of you who love to tan but want the results fast you might want to try the Organic Gold Tanning Accelerator. This can be used in conjunction with a higher SPF sunscreen to protect your skin while tanning.

This will hydrate your skin while helping it to tan faster then normal. The smell is pleasant, but mild. I am a big believer in not tanning although I love the glow it gives me now that I can tan faster while using a Sunscreen I am loving the golden glow without having the sun causing harm to my skin.

Organic Gold also has a Face Serum that smells amazing and can be used twice a day to help keep your face, neck, and decolletage, looking younger just a bit longer.



You can purchase both the Organic Gold Tanning Accelerator and Face Serum on Amazon.

Home, Work, and Medical


This is the second Infrared Thermometer we have reviewed, it has many of the same qualities and specs of the first one including being used in the last Ebola outbreak which tells you it was a trusted piece of equipment. 

In our home we mainly use it to test the walls for cold spots for the winter so we can remedy the situation to save on our electric and heat bills. This is also a great item to be able to find where you might have a animal infestation in your walls during the winter because it will be warmer then other spots. 

I love that this comes with a battery so you can use it right away instead of having to look for the right size of battery. 

Below you see my husband's review of the product for more ideas.

Fast Hair Styling for back to school




For our family school starts next week, which means three girls getting ready for school or college each morning. That is a lot of showers, hair, and scented body spray.

In the past the longest part of their getting ready in the morning has been getting their hair done.  Our other flat irons took minutes to heat up, costing us precious time or even worse if they were not heated up in time sometimes left on because they never were able to get their hair done because it wasn't heated to the right temperature.

ISA professionals sent me this neat Ceramic Flat Iron Hair Straightener to put to the test. It is pretty, has an on and off switch, a protective cover for the plug, as well as a velcro strap to hold the cord all together when it is stored.
This straightener heats up in 30 seconds flat and works like a charm.

I was able to do both of my daughters hair in just a few minutes for lasting results. We are in love with this flat iron.

Extra long reach





Not every house had a plentitude of outlets. We live in a big old house that even though large has very few outlets. As in our huge living room only has two outlets not nearly enough so we have to run cords or decorate strategically so we don't have to run cords.

Having a long cable to be able to charge our devices is a must if we are charging anywhere except the charging station my husband has yet to build. A 10 foot cord like this one by Reach Cables is just what we needed, for extra long reach so we could keep our tech close by while it is charging.

I really like the braided cord because it seems so much more stronger than others on the market. I also like the bag it came in to store it when not in use. Keeps it tidy.

You can purchase the Reach Cable on Amazon.




What Reach Cables has to say about their product.
10 Foot Long iPhone iPad Charging Cord For iPhone 6, iPhone 5, iPad Air, Mini & iPod - This EXTRA LONG Lightning Cable Is Constructed Of Braided Fabric & Is Guaranteed To Be More Durable Than Certified Apple Lightning Cords.
