dōTERRA - PastTense Roll-on Review

Has anyone heard of dōTERRA? They're an essential oil company we've signed up for a while back. Membership discounts are pretty awesome but what's better are their products!

We're all really loving their PastTense Roll-on. It's an oil blend for tension and I honestly have to say it works! (for me at least) Some may not like the cilantro smell but I find it somewhat relaxing. I'm a migraine sufferer and I normally resort to taking headache medication when I feel one coming on. I got tired of reaching for pills every time so I was set on finding an alternative. This is my alternative and so far it's been working. It's like having an Icy Hot patch around your head! Rina's mom bought a bottle too and she likes to keep it in her purse for when she needs it.

Personally, I've been using the product four about 5 months now. Although the frequency of my headaches haven't changed, the way I handle them sure have. I get at least one headache a week so that's an estimated 20 headaches in the last 5 months? Well, I can definitely count how many times I've had to take a pill since then... and that awesome number is 2.

Here's their description on their website:

"PastTense®, dōTERRA®'s proprietary blend for tension and the discomforts associated with headaches, provides calming comfort with the strength of CPTG® essential oils of wintergreen, lavender, peppermint, frankincense, cilantro, marjoram, roman chamomile, basil, and rosemary. Packaged for convenient application in a roll-on bottle. For aromatic and topical use."

All that's just my story though. It could work for you or it couldn't but if you're interested in trying I've set up a link to our doTERRA shop. Just click the box in the sidebar. If you'd like more info regarding membership options and discounts just send me a message!

Did anyone see tonight's episode of The Fosters?!

GlossyBox - January 2014

To be honest, I just received the tracking info yesterday (or the day before), but it's already here! It arrived an entire 2 days early, it was scheduled for the 24th.

GlossyBox is a beauty subscription box service that sends you a lovely reusable box filled with 4-5 deluxe and full-sized products each month for only $21/month and FREE shipping! There's an online survey worth 20 'glossydots' each for every product you get in your box which is pretty neat. Referrals earn you 200 'glossydots' and a total of 1,000 'glossydots' earns you a free box.

Splendies - January 2014

I was surprised when my Splendies arrived yesterday. I saw that a was billed but didn't receive any notification of a package being sent like in December. It isn't like it matters to me anyways since they ship pretty fast. I received this package about a week or less after being billed.

Splendies is an Underwear Subscription. They send out 3 pairs of randomly selected underwear in different styles for a low price of $12/month. There's also a thong-less option for $14/month. Your first order gets processed immediately and ships within 10 days via USPS from Santa Monica, CA.

Last month's order was a bit too tight, they suggest you size up but I didn't listen. I emailed them right away regarding my size. They replied quickly and well.. my size was in fact changed for this month. I couldn't be any happier with their service.

This month's LootCrate came in yesterday!

It's a monthly subscription box for geeks & gamers. For $13.37 + $6 shipping/month you get a box filled 6-8 awesome items all curated to a different theme each month. Crates get sent out around the 20th of each month via USPS. All the goodies are shipped on a black cardboard box with LootCrate's logo printed on the outside.

This month's theme was LAUNCH!

For those of you who don't know, Ipsy is a monthly subscription service for beauty products. For $10/month they send out 4-5 deluxe or full sized items. The items come packaged in a reusable makeup bag. They have a different theme each month and this month's is called, "19 Reasons."

Sedona Lace Vortex Brush Kit

I've been contemplating this purchase for weeks now. I've never really purchased anything other than drugstore brushes and after years of having those same brushes, I decided it was time for an upgrade.

Vortex Professional Makeup Brushes with Zipper Belt

$99.95

They arrived today which is a day early but I'm not complaining! Their website said that orders would be processed when they got back from holiday (01-06) so I figured they'd be bit backed up but it was in fact processed that very day. It was due to arrive tomorrow so just imagine my surprise when I found out it was already out for delivery.
