Marshmallow Sticks


These Marshmallow Sticks are perfect! I’m so happy to finally get them!! No more searching around the woods for the fallen sticks! Yay!!

They are light. They extend to almost 3 feet. Each fork is covered with red cap, which is easy to remove before use. I like the bright colors, and that the handles are made of wood. They are very nice to the touch, and actually look better in real life than on the pictures. They are also easy to clean.

It’s very convenient that they come with their own zipped bag. I truly appreciate it when I don’t need to figure out how to store new items. There were little bamboo sticks in the package. I’m not sure what to do with those. They look to short to be used as alternative roasting sticks. Maybe you can take your melted marshmallows with them off the roasting sticks? Personally, I hate s’mores. I use my roasting sticks to toast bread in the fire. No toaster will give you the same taste. It really is delicious.

I’m so looking forward to the new camping season!

Activa Naturals Greens Superfood


 Activa Naturals Greens Superfood Powder has a natural berry flavor. I expected it to be pink, because this is the most common color associated with berries, but it’s actually green. Keep in mind that this powder is very sweet when adding it to your drinks. I tried it with plain kefir. It basically turned my drink into a berry flavored yogurt. It was quite delicious. I can see it drinking with water too, but not any juice or smoothie. The berry flavor is quite strong and sweet. The instructions are very simple, 1 scoop per 8 ounces of liquid. The scoop is inside the jar.



I like the ingredients, and the health effects on my body. One cup of this drink contains your body’s daily need for fruits and vegetables. As a vegetarian I consume more fruits and Veggies than an average non-vegetarian person. However I still don’t think that I get enough of full nutrients, especially during the winter. I always feel more energized after I drink a cup of my Greens Super Food.

Glycolic Cleanser


The InstaNatural Glycolic Cleanser is really good. It has a very light gel texture and a neutral smell. You only need a little, it foams quite well. I like it a lot, because it addresses all the problems I have with my skin. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. It doesn’t make it feel dry. It clears my pores, and helps to get rid of occasional acne. It’s like someone answered my prayers, and created a custom cleanser just for me! My skin looks smooth and even.



InstaNatural Eyelash Enhancing Serum


The InstaNatural Eyelash Enhancing Serum is a must-have for every woman. I have never met and adult with perfect eyelashes. We all use mascara for a reason, right? My problem area is the eyelashes near the inner corner of my eyes. I have almost none over there. It’s a challenge even with a mascara to pretend that something is there when it isn’t. I’ve been using this serum for almost a week now, and I already see little tiny new eyelashes picking out where I need them the most! I haven’t noticed any significant results on the rest of my eyelashes yet, but I’m sure I will in a few weeks. It’s very easy to use, and doesn’t irritate the eyes. I once tried very vigorously to apply as much serum as I could at the base of my lashes, and some serum got inside my eye. The burning sensation lasted for about 10 seconds. I didn’t even have to wash my eyes. I just closed them and waited. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase.


InstaNatural Youth Express Night Cream


The InstaNatural Youth Express Night Cream is perfect for winter. The texture is rich and thick. This is exactly what my dry and sensitive skin needs to replenish its moisture overnight. I was a little concerned when I first used it. It felt like my skin was on fire. However the cream absorbed very fast, and the sensation went away. I love the ingredients. Rosehip Seed Oil is one of my favorites. It helps to make skin soft and smooth. The appearance of wrinkles is reduced. Dry skin like mine will appreciate this night cream all year round. People with oily skin might only enjoy it in winter time.


InstaNatural Glycolic Peel


Given the sensitivity of my skin I find a little bit challenging to use the Glycolic Peel. Stars need to align in a special way. It has to be Friday night, so that I have Saturday and Sunday to recover in case my skin turns into a snake, and decides to shade a layer. There can’t be any irritation prior, otherwise this peel will turn me into Freddy. When stars do align, it is totally worth it. The immediate effects are always unpredictable. Sometimes I don’t feel anything, and my skin is totally fine. Sometimes it peels off for a couple of days, and I can’t wear any make-up. The long-term effects are what makes it worth it. My skin becomes baby soft, very clear and fresh, pores are almost invisible, and the appearance of wrinkles is reduced. Give it a try! You won’t regret it.



Moroccan Rose Water


I am amazed with the quality of InstaNatural Moroccan Rose Water. You can you use it as a toner for your dry and sensitive skin, and as a treatment for your dull hair! On top of it all, it has the most amazing smell ever. It does smell like you are in the rose garden.
I don’t usually use toners in my beauty routine, because most of them contain alcohol, and it irritates my skin instantly. The rose water is a game changer. I use it after the cleanser to calm the skin down. Even though I’m using a gentle cleanser, my skin always welcomes extra soothing.

Instructions on the bottle say that you can also use it in your bath. I wouldn’t do that unless you are very rich, and can afford it.

Mucinex

I was unlucky to get sick during the holidays season. I had all the symptoms of the classic cold. I had a fever, headache, cough, sore throat, and nasal congestion. I was in hell for a couple of days, but Mucinex saved me, and I got to enjoy the rest of the holidays. It has a very strong mint taste. It felt like I was drinking melted toothpaste. Sounds disgusting when you are healthy, right? It felt heavenly on my sore throat when I was sick. The strong smell and taste had my eyes popping out, but relieved my headache and congestion. I didn’t really have the classic dry cough since I started taking Mucinex immediately after getting sick. The mucus was coming out as soon as the cough started. That sped up my recovery significantly. I’m very happy with the effects of Mucinex, and even though I got a free sample, I will definitely buy again.
