5-Hour Energy/Smiley 360 Mission

I work hard and play just as hard. So it's obvious that I tire easily, especially in the afternoons. This leaves me often needing an extra boost, at least until I catch my second breathe.

Who do I turn to? 5-hour ENERGY, of course! 5-hour ENERGY® is in its 8th year of helping hard working people feel alert and energized.

I was sent two bottles of 5-Hour (ENERGY SHOTS) from Smiley360.com.

The bottles I received came in two flavors, Pomegranate and Berry. I wish they would have sent me a case! :) I LOVE 5-Hour and could drink 2 a day, EVERYDAY!

Despite what many people say, 5 Hour Energy Shots do work. I personally have been drinking them for at least 2-3 years. I haven't experienced any negative side effects and I am still as healthy as ever!

Before I get into the nutritional values and ingredients, let me tell you thoughts.

The first one I opened was the Pomegranate. This is a delicious flavor and even if you don't like the Pomegranate fruit, you will love the taste of this energy shot. It has a very palatable tang.

I was going to my Grandmothers on her birthday. It had already been a long day, I was already exhausted, but I had to push through for just a few more hours. Thankfully, my 5-hour had just arrived in the mail, earlier that day.

I emptied the contents into my mouth and swallowed. If you are sensitive to caffeine, you can drink half the bottle first and the rest later. Immediately, I was revived and awakened.

I burst in my Grandmothers home with an abundance of energy. My daughter and I performed a Magic Show for her Birthday. I never could have gotten through the magic show with a 10-year old and a house full of family, if it weren't for 5-hour energy!

5-hour ENERGY® Shot This afternoon, similar scenario. I was extra exhausted and still had lots of work left to do. I drank the 5-hour Berry in a matter of seconds.

I was quickly renewed with instant energy. so much energy infact, that even a few hours later I still am working efficiently.

Until afternoon naps become an accepted part of the work day you may need a little help staying sharp and alert. Coffee and soda help a little, but how long do they last before you’re back for more? 5-hour energy gives you the energy you need to sail through the rest of your day without the lingering effects, crashes and sugar rushes so many other energy shots give you.

5-hours method is quick, simple and convenient. Take in Seconds, Feel it in minutes, Lasts for hours. The extra boost with 5-Hour energy comes in a compacted shot-like bottle. You can take it in a matter of seconds and experience fast-acting energy. In just a few minutes, your body has absorbed and started processing it. It wears off gradually, 5-hour's Sugar-Free formulation ensures you not having to worry about crashing suddenly.

This 4 Calorie drink is a non-carbonated shot with zero sugar, zero herbal stimulants, complete with B-vitamins, amino acids and only about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee! It comes in a decaf version, too! Or if you want an extra, extra shot of energy, try the Extra Strength 5-hour Energy which has an equivalency to 12 ounces of coffee! The perfect way to get your energy boost!

5-hour is manufactured and bottled in the USA. It also complies with the provisions of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act as regulated by the FDA.

5-hour will also be the first, most effective, leader in Energy for me.

Bamboo Cosmetics Review & Giveaway Alert

Bamboo Cosmetics
Review & Giveaway Alert!

Bamboo symbolizes rebirth and new growth. Did you know that if you leave Bamboo unattended, it will grow rather quickly and multiply itself, if left alone?

Bamboo is known throughout thousand of years of history and culture. Today it is as a food, in fabrics, household products, building material, paper, beauty products and medicine.

Bamboo extract has many beneficial health properties, such as antioxidants, amino acids, protein enzymes, phytosterols, Carotenoids, vitamins and trace minerals. So you can see why Bamboo Cosmetics decided to make this one of their Key Ingredients in their beauty products.

Bamboo Cosmetics strive to bring the elements of nature into the Professional Beauty Industry by introducing distinctive products that are recognized for their naturally based treatment properties while maintaining environmental consciousness and looking stylish.


You can get longer, thicker, healthier hair the NATURAL way with products for both your brow and hair. There is a specific unique formulation for men and women.

I received the Hair & Scalp Stimulator and Eyelash Enhancing Serum to try.

Opening the box I was met with a mascara sized, double ended tube of Brow and Lash Enhancing Serum and a Bottle of Bamboo Hair & Scalp Stimulator in a trendy, mirror-esque box.

After you wash and dry your hair as normal, lightly mist 3-5 pumps directly onto the scalp, paying careful attention to spray on desired areas. Massage gently to aid the scalp in absorb the product. The product should be dry in 2-3 minutes. Don't forget to wash your hands immediately after application. After giving it time to dry, you can style your hair as normal.

For best results, use this twice a day for 60 days.

I have not experienced hair loss, but I did have thin, damaged, lifeless hair. Take note that I used the word "DID". Past Tense. Using this for the last few weeks, I saw a wonderful improvement in strength, volume and amount. I didn't think my hair could look any fuller. I had a significantly reduced amount of breakage and much less hair in my brush!!

This scientifically formulated uses cutting edge natural active ingredients and nanotechnology, this profound treatment helps combat hair loss, thinning and breakage. It has an advanced proprietary NP7 Complex combines hair restoring peptides, bio-fermentation actives, growth factors, proteins, vitamins and minerals essential for vibrant, healthier, stronger hair growth.

This complex blended with patent pending cellular metabolism boosters targets the bulge stem cells of the hair follicle to encourage hair growth with increased enzyme activity to heighten blood flow and support proper circulation to the scalp and root of the hair.

Easily and gradually fill in brows with Bamboo's Eyebrow Enhancing Stimulator.

Bamboo Eyebrow Enhancing StimulatorEyebrows can become sparse for many reasons. Over Tweezing can cause eyebrows to become sporadic, Errors in Tweezing can leave gaps, even Chemical procedures and medicines can cause eyebrows to fall out. You can easily and gradually regrow, refill and correctly arch your eyebrows with this brow Stimulator.

One swipe a day gave me beautifully arched eyebrows in less than 2 weeks! Using a natural botanical tint, Bamboo Eyebrow Stimulator subtly tints new brow hairs as they appear. This creates impressive results. 

There is no irritation to the brow area and since it's gradually tints, there is no need to fill in with permanent makeup tattoos or pencils.


Bamboo Eyelash Enhancing Serum
Eyelashes need to be pampered from time to time, too. Growing fuller and thicker lashes is the key to looking sultry.

I had several people ask if I were wearing fake lashes after using this for 2 weeks. My lashes appeared longer, fuller and more luminous than ever.

Bamboo's Eyelash Enhancing Serum is an all natural lash fortifier that gradually tints as it encourages and supports your lashes natural growth, making them appear volumized, thicker, longer and sexier.

This can be used both day and night. Apply your daily makeup after allowing to dry for a few minutes. But I doubt you'll need makeup. :)

There is no irritation to the eye or skin, making it different from other eyelash serums. Bamboo Eyelash Serum can be used with lash extensions and even provides stronger, more durable lashes.


Bamboo Cosmetics is a loyally zealous brand committed to developing products that provides comfort and ease while creating harmony and balance.

Bamboos utilizes the ancient theory of Feng Shui, which is based on the understanding of the flow of energy throughout ones inner and outer life. Feng Shui emphasizes that when you surround yourself with things that you want and love, then your energy will increase momentously every time you see them.

Bamboo cosmetics was created and is managed by a team of Professional Beauty Industry Women. These veterans know which ingredients to use, how to use them and how to formulate products that will emphatically create impressive results!

They feel confident in this Brand, as do I. I know you will, too!

Instagram and why should you be a part of the movement


An overview of Instagram, and why you should be part of the movement
It was great news when Instagram finally became available on Android (OS) to hipsters and other photo enthusiasts on April 3. The great thing about Instagram is that it allows you to take photos and then apply digital filters after which you are allowed to share it on other social sites such as Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr. You can also choose to post the photos directly on Instagram instead of sharing on other social sites.

Intagram is not just any photo sharing social site. It's much more than that. Most of its appeal lies in the fact that it's original. Photos posted on Intagram are framed in a square shape, something that was common to the old times Instamatic or Polaroid photos. Instagram allows the use of digital filters which allow a person to use their artistic side to make the pictures look better. Intagram is therefore versatile in more ways than one.

The versatility of this photo sharing application is portrayed in the fact that now it can be used by anyone who has an iPhone or Android phone. You are therefore eligible to access the platform from the above mentioned platforms. If you were questioning yourself about what you need to access Instagram, now you know.

Now armed with information of what you need, you are probably wondering what you would use it for. Good question. Apart from adding to your list of social media forums, Intagram gives the user an opportunity to keep in touch with friends and family in a unique way. That said, it can be used for pleasure or for doing business. The decision is yours to make when all is said and done.

The way Instagram is created, it works on the go. That's to say that the application allows one to capture a photo using their iPhone or Android device and immediately upload their picture on Instagram for public viewership. Since it works on mobile devices and you have your phone with you most of the time, it means that you can let the rest of the world see what interests you any time of day or night.

Instagram for pleasure
Capture photos of anything pleasure related so to speak. It's best to add or use filters to show some creativity. This should be done for every picture that one wishes to upload. Here are some examples of how Instagram can be used for pleasure:
1. Travel pictures - show your followers sites and places of places you have been to. Let them see the world through your photos.
2. Baby photos - make them drool over the cutest babies they have ever laid their eyes on.
2. Food Pictures - capture images of different cuisines and apart from making your followers salivate, this is a great way to educate people about what other people eat out there.
4. Humorous pictures - anything goes here really. Post pictures of anything that seems awkward and makes you laugh. Chances are that someone else out there will think the pictures are funny too.


Intagram for business

Instagram can serve as an effective tool in relation to doing and transacting business. Truth be told it's never easy to stay fresh and relevant over social media. The god news here is that Instagram is not a complete social media platform. It's more of an add on to all the platforms out there. You are most likely already talking about your business or brand on the well known social media websites, right? If you answered no to this question, perhaps it's about time you thought about doing that. It helps your contacts see the softer more human aspect of you and your business. The well known social media websites have over the years become flooded with images and it's better that you use Instagram to post your pictures as opposed to posing directly on Facebook or Twitter for instance.

1. Take a photo of your brand, adjust the lighting to make it a bit visible and share it through your preferred social media forum.

2. Tag your picture(s). Always have a descriptive tag associated with the image for instance #development, #architecture or #design. Tagging your photos makes them much easier to find and in effect much more business for you. If you want to direct more traffic to an otherwise serious or geeky website, try sharing photos tagged #photo of the day or #funny.

Social media is all about sharing and if Intagram is to make any difference for your business you need to share your photos. Instagram has a better impact as compared to other social websites since it allows one to post visual updates. Sharing your pictures allows you to meet people with whom you share common interests and therefore giving you an opportunity to grow your business.

Eden Allure Argan Oil Review & Contest Alert!

Eden Allure Pure Argan Oil From Morocco Natural Skin Care

Eden Allure
Pure Argan Oil
Skin Care Review
And Contest Alert!

I am sure you guys are all familiar with Argan Oil. The wonderful liquid gold from Morocco. If you aren't, you are truly missing out on this wonderful ingredient. I am delighted to share Eden Allure's line with you.

Cultural Collections( or Eden Allure) brings you Skin and Hair Care with a Cause. They believe in only using the finest line of Morocco Argan Oil possible. In addition, they purchase fairly-traded Argan oil from the Berber women of Morocco, they fund social improvements in a harsh part of the world where women do not generally make much money. Cultural Connections also donate a portion of our proceeds to a wonderful charitable organization known as Global Fund for Women. This charity aids in providing relief to abused and impoverished women all around the world.

I am really picky with the soap that I use. Meaning, I RARELY use a soap. I normally use a body wash. It is hard for me to find a good soap to use that doesn't leave my skin feeling icky, dry or left feeling caked with residue. 


Eden Allure sent me a bottle of Pure Argan Oil (For skin or Hair) and 2 bars of Beauty Bar with Exotic Argan Oil (Grapefruit and Lavender.)






Argan Oil is a rare and exotic oil found exclusively in southwestern Morocco. Berber women have used it for centuries in their beauty rituals for it's unique natural healing properties. 

I will happily admit how surprised I was with the soaps. I didn't think I would like the soaps at all. They left my skin feeling wonderful. Unlike any traditional bar of soap I have ever used.


The Moroccan Argan Oil Beauty Bar soap is designed to Restore, Moisturize and Repair. 


Infused with Grapefruit, it feels as fresh as it smells. This is an invigorating soap with a light lather. The gentle foam left my skin feeling rejuvenated.


It rinsed clean, so I then I wondered if could I shave with it. I have extremely sensitive skin and shaving with the wrong product can leave me with a lot of irritation. 


I lathered my exfoliating cloth with the Grapefruit Beauty Bar and then shaved as normal. With every swipe, it felt as if I was shaving with a secretly coveted shave cream. The razor glided down my skin fluently and left a silky path. There was no burn, irritation or razor rash. This organic Beauty Bar with Argan Oil became my new favorite soap.
I normally take a shower in the morning and then a bath at night to wind down. Eden Allure's Beauty Bar touched with Lavender is relaxing and sensuous, which allows it to be perfect for either Day time or Night time.


This is another creamy lathering soap with a fresh feel. My skin felt healthier with each use.


The Moroccan Argan oil is added in during the last segment of the soap making process allowing it to float freely between the soap molecules. This is ensures you get the most out of our Argan oil's unique skin healing properties.


I was most excited to try the Eden allure Skin and Hair Oil. 


I applied a few dabs on my fingertips and rubbed gentle circles until my skin had completely absorbed the Argan Oil. This leaves your skin feeling softer than if you had used baby oil, without the mess, even silkier and protecting from free radicals. The high levels of Vitamin E, F and Triterpens found in Moroccan Argan Oil, promote skin cell regeneration and dead cell shedding leaving your skin rejuvenated.


When used after the Beauty Bars, your skin is in pure bliss. It's all natural properties are safe for daily use. 


I rubbed a few drops between my palms and ran them through my hair.


The Morocco Argan Oil controlled fly-aways, strengthened my hair and left my hair with a silken, glossed finish. Within a week my ends were mended and my locks were stronger.


The Vitamin E promotes healthy circulation in the scalp while the Vitamin F nourishes the scalp alleviating dry scalp.


To repair and restore your hair to glowing, healthy tresses, treat yourself to a luxurious indulgence by applying a generous amount of Argan oil to your hair, running your hands thoroughly back and forth. Wrap a warm towel around your head, and let it sit for thirty minutes before washing your hair. 


To protect and reconstruct, apply a small amount of Argan oil to your hair after shampooing by running your hands through your hair from scalp to end and style as normal.


Eden Allure's Moroccan Argan Oil products treat your Face, Hair, Body and Nails.

Moroccan Argan Oil is very rich in:

  • Vitamin F (omega 6): anti-aging and anti-dryness of skin
  • Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory for sensitive skin, UV protection, and aids in cutaneous micro-circulation. Also neutralizes free radicals
  • Phenols: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, powerful against fungus and bacteria, activates blood circulation and activates Vitamin C
  • Triterpens: restructure cells, is anti-inflammatory and slows down cell aging
  • Squalene: suggested to prevent against skin cancer

Medyskin from Skin-Peel.com Review

save image

MedySkin Lotion

From Skin-Peel.com Review


Back a few weeks ago, I had performed and reviewed a Jessner Skin Peel found at Skin-Peel.com. You can read that review here. What better way to put Skin-Peel's moisturizers to the test than to use it after repeating the Jessner Peel from Skin Peel?


I decided that I would review Medyskin Salicylic Duo. It comes in H.A. Serum+ and H.A. Moisture+.

Acne can be on both oily and non-oily skin. Both require hydration and both need to have the acne addressed.


I don't have acne, but I do have blemish prone skin. Overproduction of oils combined with stress and tanning, leave my skin with a few breakouts and blackheads. Especially, along my chin and then that once a month time.

Did you know that the number one common mistake for people with oil skin make is to NOT hydrate their skin? I used to make the same mistake all the time. "Oh, my skin is oily, I definitely don't need any moisturizer or lotion on my face. That's will only make it worse."

This thought process is detrimental to skin and will only exacerbate the problem! Having oily skin you should use a feather-weight product that will balance the skin, with additives that will clear and protect from breakouts.

That is exactly what the Medyskin Salicylic Acne Duo does. It clears skin, protects it from future breakouts and made my skin feel so soft!

The first time I had use the peel, I followed with my normal moisturizer and used an extra oily serum. The results were ok, but I still peeled. After performing a second skin peel, I followed immediately with the Serum and Moisturizer.

This time the results were amazing. My skin didn't peel at all! I was so surprised. I kept waiting on my skin to  peel, but it never did.

I applied the two small pumps of serum onto my fingertips and worked it in over my face. This left a liquid-silk feel all over my face, paying special attention to my eye area, nose and forehead. Salicylic HA Serum+ slows oil production by neutralizing sebaceous glands and boosting tissue water content. These same ingredients help stifle the occurrence of acne breakouts and control oil throughout the day. One key ingredient is tea-tree oil, which is a great acne fighter AND skin soother!




I followed my serum with the HA Moisture+ Salicylic. It is a universal, light weight product that balances the intracellular water content and prevents acne outbreaks. This moisturized, hydrated and locked in the previous serum application leaving my skin feeling smooth, nourished and fresh after only one use!


I only used this once a day for the first few days, since my skin was still fresh from the skin peel. Then after that, I started using it twice a day.

Oily skin no longer has to be an issue. This corrects, balances, clears and protects my skin. 


My T-zone isn't shiny in pictures anymore, my skin is blackhead free and I haven't had the first blemish in 2 weeks!!
























You can see on Day 1, I started with a few bumps and very shiny skin. On day 14, I have a normal healthy looking shine and no bumps! My skin looks smoother!




You can buy this same duo at Skin-Peel.com or Try the Clarifying Duo if your skin isn't as oily!
Visit Skin-Peel.com and find your duo now!!

**Skin-peel.com provided me with a free skin-peel to review, I was in no way under any obligation to review it, if I so chose. Nor was I required to write a positive review or host a giveaway in exchange for the free product. All opinions are my own, honest opinions on this peel by MedySkin!**
