Dedicated to YOU!

Beauty is a thing seldom seen

No one sees it because no one looks

Or at least not in the right place

Beauty is held by all

Within the soul it lies

Waiting to come out to the surface

Only it can't

Beauty is suppressed by the evils of the world

Only love can bring beauty out

Once seen

Beauty can never hide again

Not even hatred can deny beauty

Of its true design

Beauty although possessed by all

Will ever only truly be seen by few

And fewer yet will ever see

One of the most beautiful sights

The beauty held by YOU!

Lucky Vitamin

Ever in need of a good place to go and a good price to get vitamin and other supplements? Going to the store and standing there trying to figure things out or seeing the high prices. Well I was recommended to a place online that is pretty much half the price as the stores and that includes shipping and handling. Go to the website and check it out. You won't be sorry. Remember beauty starts from within and if you are not feeling well inside you won't look your best on the outside!!!

Melatonin

 

 Have you ever had those nights where you just couldn't sleep and wish there was something you could do? Or you take prescription sleeping pills, but they leave you some what in a stupor or groggy when you first wake up? Plus I know people who have to be careful on or they do things they don't remember.

Well I have been there. I once had a physicians assistant recommend Melatonin as an alternative.  They are all natural and supposedly good for you. I was skeptic I tried some before, but didn't think they worked. Recently I decided to give them a real shot. Guess what! They work!! I haven't woke up so well before. Beautiful beauty sleep. LOL Which I need lots of!!! 

Here is what I am currently using, but when they run out I am going to try a different one that I get vitamins from online.

This is what I am going to try...

Melatonin Timed Release by Source Naturals

Source Naturals Melatonin
Source Naturals Timed Release Melatonin is formulated to allow for a gradual release of the active ingredient during an approximate six hour period. This provides the body with a more even absorption of melatonin. Melatonin is a neurohormone produced in humans by the pineal gland. A favorite of travelers, it governs the body's circadian rhythms. Melatonin is also a potent antioxidant.

Melatonin addresses the following body systems:

• Antioxidant Defense
• Metabolism/Hormones
• Cognition / Nerves
• Immune

I am going to try this one because they are gradual release. I haven't tried this brand before, but I believe they will work.  I will let you know. :)

No nonsense® Super Soft Cushioned Crew Socks - Dedicated to Kellen McAffee

This Beauty Review blog entry is dedicated to my friend Kellen McAffee. He suggested this topic and I figured it is only right to dedicate this to a lover of socks... not the cat, but the foot wear. ;)

No nonsense® Super Soft Cushioned Crew Socks

• Cushioned sole for added comfort
• Soft and breathable

“We don't call this line of socks "ahh, said the foot" for nothing. A perfect blend of cotton, nylon and rayon give these socks an incredibly soft feel. Just let your feet be the judge.”

- from  http://www.nononsense.com/Womens-Socks/sport/Super-Soft-Cushioned-Crew-Socks.aspx

The above is from their website and I did judge for myself and believe me my feet did say “ahh” I say “ahh”. I have never been a fan of socks. I have a high dislike for these atrocious things. I refused to wear them. My feet are unfortunately very sensitive. Socks that you can feel every stitch and all the other ickiness didn't work. I couldn't wear them. Than one day many moons ago I bought a bag of socks. Haven't really worn them... they had gotten mixed up with someone else socks. The other day I was freezing and I put these socks on my feet. I was like “aww”. I feel in love with these socks. My feet don't hurt or burn or are not irritated in anyway. LOVE IT!!! My feet feel pretty and pampered. I am not too big of a fan of the length of the socks because of my arthritis, but I found out tonight they have short cuffs! LOVE THAT!!!  Plus they are reasonably priced.

I highly recommend these to everyone!!! 

THANKS AGAIN KELLEN!! :-)

A Call Out!!

A call out to my Avon and Mary Kay plus any other beauty supplier friends! How would you like free advertisement and a tax right off? You wondering how you can do this? Well, I am interested in free samples or products at reduced price to try out and blog about. I will put an ad on my blog for you. Plus I will let them know who is the supplier who donated/reduced price to let me blog and try. If it is for older people my mom has even offered to try products out. It is a tax right off because you donated the product. So free advertising, free promotion, and a tax right off! What more can you ask for? :) Email me at monisbeautyreviews@gmail.com and we will talk! Thanks!!!

Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel

SPEED DRY+ nail enamel does it what is says “dries in 30 seconds” which is wonderful because I don't have enough patience to wait much longer. :-) Bad thing is it starts to chip and come off in about the same amount of time. :) Ok exaggeration, but within 18 hours or less my nails with normal every day hand uses was chipping. By the 2^nd day it was half off. I am highly disappointed in this nail enamel and I would not recommend it.

Dr. Teal's Therapeutic Solutions Epsom Salt

I suffer from arthritis and  Fibromyalgia and sometimes I just ache and hurt for. One day while at the WalMart I found Dr. Teal's Therapeutic Solutions Epsom Salt Relax Formula. It "soothes sprains, aches & stings." Oh boy does it! Twenty minutes (give or take) in a warm/hot bath with just a little of this helps out greatly. I even tried it for headaches and it works wonders!!! I would highly recommend this! I have also used "Foot Soak - Dr. Teal’s Peppermint Foot Soak is an Epsom Salt based formula infused with Peppermint foot friendly essential oil, Menthol, a natural derivative of peppermint with cooling effects, and the added bonus of baking soda to address and prevent foot odor." It too  works wonders on sore aching feet! I am looking for Therapeutic Soaking Aid – Dr. Teal’s Therapeutic Soaking Aid combines the benefits of Magnesium Sulfate Epsom Salts with Mint and Rosemary to soothe the senses, relax tense muscles, and promote well – being. To try it out.

Info from website!

Epsom Salt Soaking Solution - Relaxing Epsom Salt with fragrant essential oils that leave the skin feeling soft.

The Benefits of Epsom Salt: Epsom Salt, whose main components are Magnesium and Sulfate, two ingredients that most people have a deficiency of in their body, has been proven to have a number of benefits including improving heart health and circulatory functions, flushing out toxins and heavy metals from cells, improving nerve functions by regulating electrolytes and relieving stress.

By soaking in the Epsom Salt, the body can readily absorb these beneficial ingredients all the while leaving the skin feeling soft.
