Anxiety Relief Essential Oil Blend

Phytopia oil blend has the most pleasant smell! I’m not even a huge fan of all the flowery smells, but Vanilla and Sweet Orange tone out Geranium and Rose. All the ingredients are organic. It was a nice surprise, because usually when something is organic, the package screams about it. Phytopia product is modest about its quality. However I don’t have to be! I used it on and off for over a week, and can definitely say that my sleep is deeper and less interrupted after neck and shoulder massage from my wife. I work 60 hours a week, and it’s very difficult to take the mind completely off the work when I’m at home. This sweet oil blend just takes my mind to vacation places, and I’m having the sweetest dreams. It fulfills all the promises that Phytopia advertises.

Anti-Cellulite Cream

Instanatural Anti-Cellulite Cream is one of my favorites. I love the nice smell, I love the pleasant texture, I love the neat color. This lotion makes my skin feel very soft and smooth. Not only does it reduce the appearance of the cellulite, but also tightens the skin. It’s perfect for older women whose skin has already started aging. I like that it doesn’t have any extreme hot or cold effects on the skin like many other creams. Yes, the heating effect might be pleasant in winter, and cooling might be nice in summer. But sometime I just need a break. I don’t always want to stress my skin into some extreme temperature. So far this has been very pleasant relaxing experience with obvious positive results.

Posture Corrector

I have a desk job and spend between 8 and 12 hours with my laptop every day. As much as I try to be conscious of my posture I can’t control myself for such long period of time. I’d catch myself hunching every now and then. It results in back pain and poor posture overall. This is how the Notre Dame hunchback became a hunchback. I wanted something simple and easy to use, something over the counter and I chose Yosoo Back Posture Corrector. It took me a while to figure out what goes where, but as soon as I did everything went exactly the way I wanted. I think anyone XS-L size can use it. I’m not sure how you can stretch it though. If you are not used to back braces you might want to start with wearing it only for a couple of hours a day. You can increase that amount as your body gets used to the corrector.

Mattifying Toner

InstaNatural is one of the best toners I have ever had. It’s great for oily, combination and normal skin. I would not recommend it for sensitive or/and dry skin. It has a little burning effect that won’t be a big deal for normal skin, but would irritate instantly the sensitive skin. Clay is what makes unique and significant difference. My skin became matte immediately, and what’s most importantly it stayed that way all day under my makeup. The skin felt fresh, never too dry. It’s the perfect toner. It’s dual face, so be sure to shake and mix it well.

Bouchard Belgian Chocolate

Bouchard has been making chocolate since 1931. It has been acquired by bigger companies a couple of times, but it didn’t reflect on the flavor and quality of their signature Napolitains chocolate series. Belgian chocolatiers have a good reputation around the world for a reason.

I tried the dark chocolate. It has 72% of cacao. To give you an idea Hershey’s dark chocolate contains 45-50% of cacao. Plenty of cocoa butter ensures that glossy finish translates to a beautifully smooth mouthfeel. The chocolate melts slowly at first, taking a moment for the flavors to start to come
through. Bouchard Napolitains chocolate is very smooth, fruity and bitter. It is not grainy and doesn’t have the acidic undertone like many other chocolates. It’s definitely not chocolate that you pig out on. It must be slowly savored. Save it for the stressful day and relax at home with a glass of red wine and two chocolates.

Herbal Sleep Tea

I have troubles letting go of my work day and forgetting all the daytime stress before going to bed. I keep playing over and over in my head this meeting and that conference. I end up sleepless till midnight and then broken in the morning. I don’t like taking pills unless unless I absolutely have to. I just want a little help from Mother Nature. Herbal Sleep Tea from Cuppa Magic has been my solution lately.

This tea blend is quite strange. It almost tastes like it doesn’t have a taste. I don’t know how to explain it. Water has more taste than this tea. It’s not a good or a bad thing. It’s just something that I have never experienced with teas before. I’m an avid tea drinker. I have a giant tea collection and my own herbal garden. I had no idea that you can achieve this strange effect by blending together so many herbs with distinctive taste. The ingredients are quite amazing: rosebuds, licorice, spearmint, orange, chamomile, mint, saffron, basil, rosehip, ginger root, lemongrass and fennel seeds.

Wine Rack

I got this wine rack from Bella Vino. It looks very cute on the photo, but not so much in the real life. If you are looking for a cheap solution to store your wines, this would work for you perfectly. If you want something more upscale, increase your budget. Mine came with some scratches and one stake too short. I still made it work though and it wasn't too difficult to hide the defects.
