Thirst Quenching the Organic Way...

From time to time I receive products to test in exchange for my honest opinion.  Recently I received, from Influenster, a vox box containing Apple and Eve juice drinks.  I received three juice box sized Organic Quenchers, and a quart sized package of 100% organic no sugar added juice. 

Before I got a chance to try the juice box in earnest, my kids had blown through them.  And they loved them!  My daughter, who is quite verbose, explained to me that her thirst was quenched and that the drink had just the right amount of raspberry flavoring to it.  I quickly grabbed a sip.  The flavor is not what I expected, as I am used to non organic juices. I expected a more fruity flavor, but this was more like water with a hint of juice.  And I love that for my kids!  I try to give them natural when I can, and I like that the juice has 50% less sugar than other juices out there.  It makes me feel good giving them this juice as is also FILLED with vitamin C. 

Also in the box was Apple and Eve Organics Orange Pineapple.  This was for the grown ups in our house!  We loved it!  Perfect packaging to fit in our already full fridge, it is also designed to keep the juice fresh and is designed to protect the environment too. No sugar added, but it still tastes good, probably because of the blend of 6 organic juices that are in the package.  It is 100% juice and is USDA certified organic and Non GMO certified. 

The only issue I had with this is that because of the packaging, some of the juice is left inside, I tried to get it all out, shaking, turning and whatever else I could do to get the last drops of juicy goodness, but alas no luck. 


Definitely going to look for these in my supermarket on the next run!

Product Review: Hada Labo Tokyo Anti Aging Face Mask

Occasionally I am given products in exchange for my honest opinion.  This is one of those reviews.

Through Influenster  I received the Hada Labo Tokyo Anti Aging Mask .  Here's a clip of me using the mask and of my honest  review

After I used the mask, my skin felt smoother and fresh.  As I mentioned in the video, the stickiness of the mask was a little jarring.  I probably would not include this mask in my skin care routine for this reason. 

Price wise the product seems fairly priced.  You can purchase a pack of four masks at Walgreens for $14.99.  The product is also available at Ulta, though I don't have an Ulta store in my area.

Product Review: Attitude Color Protection Shampoo

As part of the Influenster community, I receive products in exchange for my honest opinion.  This post reflects my opinion of Attitude Color Protection Shampoo.


I do not have color treated hair, so I cannot speak to those benefits.  I used the product myself.  The shampoo is free of toxins and other chemicals that appear in other shampoo brands, though it is not stated specifically WHICH chemicals.  The product is vegan, and certified for reduced environmental impact.  There is a logo of a small bunny on the package, which I assume means this product is not tested on animals, but again, it is not clearly stated.

The shampoo has a pleasing smell and appears to be like other shampoos.  When used, it creates a nice lather, making me feel like my hair is getting clean.  I've used other environmentally friendly shampoos before, and they seem to weigh my hair down and make it feel not clean.  The Attitude shampoo cleaned my hair nicely. 

I did find that my hair, which is normally bouncy and full of volume, fell a bit limp throughout the day.  My hair did not seem to fall in its normal pattern. 

This product available at Target.  It retails for approximately $9 a bottle, which is a bit out of my price range.  The  product seemed good, but I would not pay that much money to use it on a regular basis.

Review of Maxx Labs liquid Vitamin D3 drops with Vitamin K and Magnesium

Occasionally, I receive products, through various sources, that I am asked to try and give my honest opinion.  This post refers to one of those products.


Recently I was approached by a representative from Maxx Labs to test out their liquid vitamin D3 with Vitamin K and Magnesium product.  It comes in the form of drops, in a 1 oz dropper bottle, with 900 doses of 2000 IU per drop.  I received the product, free of charge, from Amazon and wrote the following review (located here):


I was offered a free sample of this product in exchange for an honest review.

The idea of taking my vitamin D in a drop was a good one. I live in an area with very little sunshine in the winter so I've developed a deficiency. I don't enjoy taking the big pills, so this was something I was interested to try.

I received the package quickly. The label was very hard to read because it was so small. It was a bit nerve wracking trying to figure out how much to take, since the instructions were difficult to read.

I put two drops I a glass of water - my doctor recommends at least 4000 units of D so I thought two would work. Though it says 1 drop is a serving, it does not caution me not to use more than one drop. The drop changed the taste of the water as well as the viscosity. The water seemed to have an oil on the surface. That oiliness was still in the cup when I filled it up again.

I found no information saying not to mix the drops with any other liquid, but perhaps this is the case.

I was messy in getting the drop so the bottle became very oily.
I don't see myself using this product on a daily basis. It's not right for me, though it might work for others
