CallaK ~ Sibu Beauty Review

Sibu May 2013

Hey, guess what? This is a review. I was sent samples of the products below. I received no monetary compensation. All opinions expressed are solely my own based upon my experience with the product.  Sibu Beauty uses a berry called sea buckthorn that is harvested from the Himalayas. The berries are full of over 190 bioactive compounds that revitalize, nourish, and build healthy skin, hair, and nails. It also contains Omega 7, which is a rare fatty acid. Their website, www.sibubeauty.com, is full of excellent descriptions of their products, which are also vegan, paraben and preservative free, and cruelty free. I was sent two items to review, the exfoliating scrub, and the face and body bar. The face and body bar has an intoxicating fragrance. It smells like orange and lemon citrus with a wonderful mix of herbs. I asked my 14yr old to smell the bar when I opened it and she walked away with it. Teenager approved! The face and body bar lathers up nicely, and the … [Read more...]

Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd

I'm sitting at my computer, probably getting nothing accomplished, with Supernatural streaming on my Kindle. All the sudden Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd starts playing at some key moment on the show. And then the strangest thing happened... I got the chills, complete with goosebumps. The hair on my arms stood straight up as well as some of the little fuzzy hair around my neck. I paused the show and searched my brain for some connection to the song, but I couldn't find any and I still haven't. A few days later, Dani stopped over and I played the song on Youtube and I had the exact same reaction. Like I said, I can't seem to find any connection to a memory or experience. I guess I have to chalk it up to one of those things. Do any songs have that affect on you?   … [Read more...]

Memory Foam Pillows, Comfy Clouds – Review

Pillow May 2013

Hey, guess what? This is a review. I was sent samples of the products below. I received no monetary compensation. All opinions expressed are solely my own based upon my experience with the product.  When it comes to pillows, I've always cheaped out. I'll get the $5 pillows and then complain when my neck is sore or the pillows are flat in a matter of weeks. Then, being the smart person I am, I go replace my pillows...with the exact same thing. Rinse and repeat. I've seen all the commercials and infomercials alike, memory foam pillows are all the rage. Something that molds specifically to me? Cradles my every curve in a cloudlike caress? Sure, sign me up, but don't break my wallet. I would classify myself as a side sleeper with intermittent stomach sleeping. Richard is pretty much the same. I was recently sent a set of memory foam pillows to try. The pillow is made out of 100% polyurethane foam. You can't wash the pillow and if you get it wet, the directions are to spot clean … [Read more...]

Free College Savings Webinar + Win $529

Hey, guess what? This is a sponsored post. I have received product(s) and/or monetary compensation in exchange for this article. However, all opinions expressed are solely my own. The awesome people at GradSave have teamed up with "529 Guru" Joe Hurley, founder of savingforcollege.com, to put on a free college savings webinar. I don't know about you, but I definitely need all the help and direction I can get. Jake is finishing up his sophomore year and college is on the brain. Eventually, I plan to finish one of my degrees so  this webinar would be beneficial for the both of us. If you're like me and have/had no idea what 529 is, here's a little jargon from the savingforcollege.com website: A 529 Plan is an education savings plan operated by a state or educational institution designed to help families set aside funds for future college costs. It is named after Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code which created these types of savings plans in 1996. Help me save? Yes, … [Read more...]
