Kusmi Tea Review

I love tea!  I drink 2-3 cups every day.  I guess I am kind of picky though and I prefer black, green, and Rooibos teas most, but I have been expanding and enjoying other teas, specifically herbal blends.

I strongly believe tea has great health benefits.  Tea has high levels of anti-oxidants, and also prevent free radicals in the body.  Free radicals are cells that may cause cancer.  I used to drink tea once a day, a few times a week, and have always rarely been sick.  A year ago I began drinking tea daily, and now it's up to 2-3 cups per day and I haven't been sick with a cold in over a year!  I usually get one cold a year.

I was so excited to be able to review a new tea for my blog.  The tea is KUSMI Tea.
The flavor I got to try is called DETOX.  It is a blend made of mate, Chinese Green Tea, Lemon and Lemongrass.  This blend is supposed to invigorate the body and make you feel good and healthy.  I really did like the taste, it was refreshing and the mixture of flavors worked well.  I have had herbal teas where it just tasted like a bunch of random plants and herbs tossed into a tea bag!
The tea bags itself are quite unique....nothing like the traditional bag and string you get in a box of Lipton tea.  The bag is made of woven material, with a woven, thicker string attached (see photo.)

The tea can be bought online, and is also available at certain store, specifically Bloomingdales in NY and CA, plus other specialty stores in New York and California.  You can see the specific places at the KUSMI website.

Review & Giveaway: Dove Body Wash!

Although I recently upgraded my face wash to Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub, one thing I will never change is my body wash!  I have been using Dove Body Wash for 7-8 years!

I started using Dove Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash and now I use go Fresh Burst Body Wash in Nectarine White Ginger Scent.  All the body washes feature NutriumMoisture which goes way beyond standard body washes when it comes to leaving your body moisturized.

My skin is definitely always super-soft and others seem to notice that as well.  When they ask how I get my skin so soft, I always tell them it's from Dove body wash.  The commercials about the product don't lie.  I would say it's safe for even kids, especially the sensitive skin product.    There have been times when I have showered elsewhere besides my house and had to use another kind of body wash, and my skin feels tight after the shower.

I would recommend all of you to at least go out and try a sample size of Dove Body Wash!

OR you can win a Full-Size Bottle of my favorite Dove body wash, Nectarine White Ginger!

Review: Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub

After using the same generic foaming cleanser for a few years, on a whim I bought a trial size bottle of Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub.  I decided it was time for something new.  I was hoping maybe a better product would improve my skin.  My skin is somewhat oily and acne prone.

I used it that evening before bed for the first time.  After drying off my face, my face felt so fresh, free, and clean!  I really feel like a lot of junk was washed away!  

The scrub wasn't too harsh; as I have used "scrubs" before that were too intense and abrasive.  Also, the scent of this is nice and mild and not overly perfumed as is other face washes I have used before.  In the few months since I began using this, my face feels fresher all day, and I don't get as much oiliness as in the past.  I also feel like I have less breakouts then before.

Biore products are very easy to find; CVS, Walmart, Target, Harmon Cosmetics, etc.

I definitely recommend this to anyone! 

I know not many people read my blog...yet...but I will giveaway 1 full-size bottle, and 1 trial size bottle to a person who leaves a very helpful comment on this post relating to blogging tips, how to get products to review, ways to improve my blog, etc!
