Lip Clear Lysine+ Review

I have been getting cold sores ever since I was a little girl. They are always really painful and embarrassing. Cold sores are painful, unsightly blisters that form on the lips or just outside the mouth as a result of the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1). While many people may carry this virus (it lies dormant in some), upwards of 60 million people get cold sores annually as a result. Cold sores can last for up to two weeks, in some cases, and are very contagious. The virus can be spread through kissing, touching, sharing cups and utensils, towels, etc. Cold sores can be triggered by sunlight, arginine rich foods, fever, illness, stress, food allergies and hormonal changes. In addition to being embarrassing for sufferers, cold sores are often very painful, causing itching, burning and other discomfort.

While there is no cure for HSV1 and the resulting cold sores, the best solution is to heal them as quickly as possible. LIP CLEAR Lysine+ Cold Sore Treatment utilizes the active zinc oxide, as well as lysine – an essential amino acid – and 14 other natural ingredients to help treat cold sores faster; according to a Southern California University of Health Sciences study. It is clinically shown to cut healing time in half, median time to complete cold sore healing was four days, and a remarkable 40% of participants had full cure by end of third day. LIP CLEAR’s unique combination of natural ingredients provides immediate relief from symptomatic burning, itching and tingling upon application. LIP CLEAR Lysine+ is all-natural, has a non-chemical flavor, goes on clear, can be worn under lipstick and doesn’t burn on application. It provides immediate soothing relief of burning and itching.

I was happy to receive something that would make the sores hurt less and heal faster. I tend to get more sores during the winter, so I'm excited to have this on hand for my next break out. I am also happy this treatment is cheaper than most others. If you suffer from cold sores like I do, you need to check out Lip Clear Lysine+.

Suggested retail price is $6.99 for a 7-gram tube; available at drug stores, supermarkets and health food stores nationwide, and online at Lip Clear

Disclaimer: I received a free tube of Lip Clear Lysine+ for this review.

MyClyns Review

With the recent worry about flu, many are concerned with germs. That’s why I’m so excited to tell you about MyClyns, a new alcohol-free, germ protection spray that you can immediately use on your face when exposed to harmful pathogens. The non-toxic, non-burning spray contains a fast-acting solution that has shown to reduce more than 60 potentially dangerous germs, including MRSA, staph and E-coli*.

Why It’s Unique: MyClyns is the only germ defense for use in the eyes, nose and mouth – offering protection where you need it most – common entry points for most germs. It is a compact, non-aerosol pump spray shaped like a pen and easy to slip into a pocket, baby bag, purse or carry-on (meets airline restrictions) for everyday use and when traveling. MyClyns is safe to spray directly onto the face and even onto open cuts and abrasions. It’s safe for people of all ages, even those who wear contact lenses. While many other germ sanitizers are good for prevention, MyClyns is designed to be used after the unexpected incident occurs –so if a person sitting in front of you or next to you coughs or sneezes, simply take out your MyClyns and spray 2-3 mists on your face and you’re good to go. Each vial has approximately 60 mists and can be thrown out when it’s empty.

MyClyns is trusted and used by hospitals and first responders (EMS, police, firemen, etc.) – whose contact with germs is often extreme – and is now being made available to consumers to be the perfect complement to hand sanitizers as part of a complete germ-fighting routine. MyClyns, is sold at CVS stores nationwide along with other chain stores for suggested retail price of $9.99. You can get more information about the product at the newly redesigned Web site My Germ Spray.

I recently tried MyClyns and was worried that it would smell bad or something. However, it doesn't really have a scent. I also noticed almost immediately feeling cleaner. I definitely think this will come in handy this winter, especially with being a college student. This is great for students and teachers!

Disclaimer: I received a free thing of MyClyns for this review.

*Independent laboratory tests have shown that the solution in MyClyns demonstrates a 99.99% reduction in more than 60 potentially dangerous pathogens.

Softlips Review and Giveaway

Softlips Lip Balm with SPF 20, has new flavors this year including Mint with Hint of Vanilla and Wildberry. The new Winter limited edition flavors include Sugar & Spice, Sugar Plum Berry , Winter Mint and Sugar Cookie. The New organic line Softlips PURE, 100% natural, USDA-certified organic also expanded its line with four new flavors, papaya, peppermint, acai berry and chai tea.

I got to try the new flavors and they are delicious! I wanted to eat them instead of putting them on my lips... I also must admit that I really enjoyed smelling them! Once I finally put some on my lips, my lips immediately began to feel moisturized! I am a fan of Softlips! They are great! It makes it feel even more like the holidays!

Also, you can stay up to date on the latest from Softlips by “fanning” them on Facebook. Plus, Softlips is running their 4th annual Softlips Picture Perfect Lips Contest.

Lone Star Legend Review

I recently received a copy of Lone Star Legend by Gwendolyn Zepeda to review. I was first interested in this book because it is about a woman who keeps a blog and tries to keep her identity from being known. She writes about her personal life, including boyfriend and parents on this blog. However, because she never identifies herself or others she thinks that she can keep this blog as a little secret where she can complain and let off some steam to her readers.

Things take an interesting turn when the company Sandy has been writing for is taken over by a larger company. This new company forces Sandy to write about celebrities and to be nasty about things. When the website she writes for gains popularity, the site's readers find her blog! This causes Sandy much embarrassment as her ex-boyfriend reads it and so does her mother. The story follows Sandy as she tries to deal with her increasingly demanding job and personal life that is ruined by her blog.

This just goes to show that just because my picture isn't on here and I don't name my boyfriend or family doesn't mean that people can't figure it out. Lone Star Legend is a good read and I'd recommend it.

Skin MD

I recently got to try some new (to me) lotion from Skin MD! Skin MD Natural is a shielding lotion, a breakthrough in skin care technology. It bonds with the outer layer of skin to form a new protective layer that locks in natural moisture, protects against chemicals and other impurities, and lets the skin heal itself.

Why use Skin MD Natural?

* Shields and protects the skin
* Non-greasy and fast absorbing
* SPF 15 sunscreen protects against sun damage
* Prevents and heals dry skin
* Natural – no harmful ingredients
* Manufactured using solar power; green renewable energy
* Helps just about every skin problem
* Enhances and protects an already beautiful complexion
* Also available with the added protection of SPF 15Â

Once I applied Skin MD lotion I immediately felt the difference! My hands were instantly smooth and soft! I can tell this is going to be great to have around with this cold weather! I think this maybe my new favorite lotion! I also put it on my neck because that's one of the places where I tend to get the driest. My neck almost instanteously felt better! This stuff works wonders! Check out Skin MD now!

Colgate Wisp

Colgate Wisp™ is a single use mini toothbrush with a breath freshening bead that cleans teeth and freshens breath on the go, no water or rinsing required. Smaller than a lipstick or a car key, its discrete size makes it perfect for keeping on hand this holiday season when close encounters are sure to happen. Whether it’s an unexpected kiss from a longtime counterpart or a mistletoe mishap at the office, make sure you’re prepared with a fresh mouth anytime, anywhere with Colgate Wisp™. Available in the oral care aisle nationwide, Colgate Wisp retail for $2.39 for a 4pk and $7.99 for a 16pk, don’t get caught without them this holiday season.

I got to try all three flavors of the Colgate Wisp and must admit that I was impressed! I was a bit worried about how clean my mouth would really get with a little stick and a bead. However, this is way more than that! The bead's flavor is good for your whole mouth! The stick part also has a pointed end that seems good for digging out things between your teeth! I loved the cinnamon flavor! I also let my boyfriend try one after drinking some caramel something. I was pleasantly surprised when he didn't smell like his drink, but instead was cinnamon-y fresh! These are great for the holidays, dates, and a person on the go!

Rosa's Fudge and Giveaway

I'm really happy to say that I recently tried some Rosa's Fudge! I got an assortment of the fudge in a box! I loved most of them! My favorites were chocolate, peanut butter with chocolate, and peanut butter! I also liked the coffee with chocolate! My boyfriend really liked the chocolate raspberry! Rosa's Fudge has something for everyone! Their fudge is great. I was really happy to get it at this time of the year... it makes cramming for finals and finishing end of the semester projects a little less painful when you reach for a nice piece of fudge. I also appreciate that the pieces are individually wrapped. This keeps you from eating the whole box at once!

Blurb Review

As I previously said, I made a photo book from Blurb to review! I must say I am VERY happy with this book. I don't want to show you pictures yet because I'm actually going to give it my boyfriend for Christmas, but I can tell you that I'm very impressed with the ease and quality of Blurb.

I simply downloaded their software and added my picture/collages to the page. As you are doing this you can select which type and size of your book. You can even do a hardback book (like I got)! You can choose from:

• Square 7x7 inches
• Standard Landscape 10x8
• Portrait 8x10
• Large Format Landscape 13x11

All books except the 13x11 are available in softcover, hardcover with dust jacket, and ImageWrap hardcover, and are printed on high-quality 80-pound paper and feature professional-quality binding. Prices begin at $12.95 per book for Square 7x7 softcover.

Once you've uploaded the pictures you just have to give it some finishing touches and then go online and order it! It's very simple and painless! The hardest part was deciding on the right pictures to use!

The shipping was pretty quick too! Upon receiving it, I showed my mom and she was equally impressed. She said that my boyfriend would love it (I hope he does, the only part I'm nervous about is the pictures I used). I can't say enough good things about this! It really is like a normal book you would buy at the store!

Check out Blurb today or anytime you need a unique/fun gift!

Disclaimer: I received a free photo book for this review.

Chic Buds and Giveaway

They are so stylish and useful, they even have a little clip that can be used to attach the buds to your clothing! They also sound great!

Amano Chocolate Review

I recently tried some Amano Artisan Chocolate! This stuff is exquisite! I got to try their Guayas (pictured above), Dos Rios, and Madagascar bars! I must say there is no other chocolate like this! Amano even provides instructions for actually tasting the chocolate. They believe that, "With fine chocolate you should pick up many flavors like you would with fine wine." I had never really had chocolate like this! It was stronger than what I'm used to. This is definitely not what you typically buy in the store. It has so many different tastes in each bar! These bars also smell different! Amano Chocolate is like not other chocolate. I also like that each bar has a beautiful picture on the outside box and the artist's name is on the back!

Next time you're in the mood for some new, tasty chocolate, check out Amano Artisan Chocolate!
