BookWedge Review

This is the BookWedge.  It's part of my Holiday Gift Guide.  What I liked about this is it's easily inflatable, and sits comfortably on my lap.  It would make a perfect gift for those loved ones that like to read.  Even those that are in school that read a lot in bed. It also partners well with the WondaWedge. Both would be  great for the avid reader.

My SonyS Tablet Fits Perfectly On The BookWedge

Just like the WondaWedge, it can be inflated, as easy as it can be deflated.  It's good for all kinds of Books, (Paper back, hard back, or e-books on electronic devices.)

I Inflated Mine In  Just A Few Minutes

I used my Sony S Tablet on mine.  Whats great about my device, and the BookWedge, I can play flash games, facebook games, while in my lap. 

Side View Of My Tablet, and Book Wedge.

Experience:  Blown up within minutes.  It held my tablet firmly, and did not fall off, or over.  As you can see my tablet is a little top heavy, and thin at the bottom.  That was not an issue with the BookWedge.

Durability: Deflated easily, and I inflated it again right after to see if it would be as easy.  It was.  There were no issues with leaks.  It rolled back up with ease.

Price: The BookWedge retails for $19.99.

Don't forget to check out my Review for the WondaWedge. Same durable material, and ease.

Hope you enjoyed my Reviews, and thought of someone these would be great gifts for!

WondaWedge Review

by, Life According To GreenVics

The WondaWedge is part of my Holiday Gift Guide.  This product would make a fantastic office gift.  You could even give it to that family member you just don't know what to get.  As soon as I received the WondaWedge I let my husband lay on it, and he's already claimed it as his own.  

My Hubby Relaxing on our WondaWedge

Sometimes you just feel like laying on the floor, and watching TV.  I'm not sure if it's because we did it as kids, or that it's just nice to stretch those muscles out.  I was sent WondaWedge for free to review.

Deflated WondaWedge

This product can be used for multiply situations.  The beach, the park, a concert.  Or just to hang out at home.  We like to lounge on it in the middle of the floor.  I wish I had the WondaWedge when I was pregnant.  My husband is guilty of taking the pillows off the couch to use on the floor and this product really is a better alternative than him using my couch cushions.

I really look forward to taking this camping with me.

Experience:  It's easy to blow up. It holds it's air & is soft to the touch.  It even comes with an attached  mat in case you are laying on the ground.

Durability:  Both my husband, and I are husky people so we need things that wont break/pop soon as we use it.  This has held up to the test of being above average.

Price: The WondaWedge is $24.00.  Pretty reasonable for how it deflates, and rolls up for easy storage when not in use.

Colors Available: Navy Blue, Lemon Yellow, Think Pink, Warm Grey,  Lime Green, Citrus Orange.

Don't forget to check out my Review for the BookWedge!

Can be used for books, or tablets!

My question to you.. Did these products make you think of someone these would be great gifts for? 

StarLooks September 2012 Monthly Subscription Box Review

StarLooks September 2012 Gift Box

Review by Life According To GreenVics

Starlooks.com is a $15.00/month Subscription box. This is the 2012 September Box. Included in the box are 6 Full Size products.  There are various signature sets that can be purchased separate if you like what was in your sample box.  The Makeup included in this months box were a 5 palette eye shadow, clear primer, little jewels for your eyes/brows/wherever you want.  And, a Quartz crystal.  

StarLooks ranges from 3+ Full size products that are worth double the price of the box.  I was impressed with the products I received to review.  I also had fun trying the products out on myself.  

Below is a Video I made showing that I received in the box, and how it is mailed.   Starlooks comes Gift Boxed, and really did make me feel like a star.  

The fact that this box came with 5 monochromic eye shadows and a clear primer.  Along with the diamond jewels were a fun touch.  Septembers box was playful to me, and made me want to shine.

There is a Starlooks:Looksbook How-To on ideas to use what's being sent for the month.  Or, you can just create your own.  I just had fun with mine.  The Looksbook has some wicked ideas, and images.  I saw some past boxes that I wish I had known about before.

My Impression of Septembers Monthly box:  Playful! Fun! The diamonds made me feel classy, and like I was a Hollywood pinup.  I think this monthly subscription box is well worth the $15.00/Month.

Usually monthly boxes are just sample sizes, but StarLooks guarantee's full size products in each box.

CoolGearInc.com Skull Chill & SnackTime Review

by, Life According To GreenVics.

CoolGearInc.com  18oz Skull Chiller

Like my new Skull Chiller Cup from CoolGearInc.com?! For Halloween!! And, every day after! Momma has a new cup for her drinks!  I was sent these products from CoolGearInc to test & review.

SnackTime Drink/Snack Container 2in1

What is great about CoolGearInc. is theres something for everyone in the family. We ventured forth to test the  Skull Chiller, and my toddler the SnackTime at the park!  

Having  these containers made SnackTime convenient, and budget friendly on the wallet. Instead of having to stop, and pick up snacks all I had to do was fill the bottom of the Snack Time Container with what Sy likes to eat, and the top with his favorite drink.  It also fits perfectly in  the cars cup holder. 

Fits  In The Cars Cup Holders! 

There is a straw in the SippyCup! Which is terrific for me right now because that's my toddlers favorite kind of cup. They also are just $5.99. You get the Cup, and Snack container that twists onto each other.  

Mommies Chill, and Babies SnackTime

SnackTime($5.99):

• BPA Free 
• Twist-off Snack Containers
• Top Drink Container Insulated W/Non-toxic Gel To Keep Drinks Cold
• Bottom Container Keeps Snacks Fresh 
• Flip-top Sipper For No Spills

Skull Chill($7.99):

• BPA Free 
• Double Wall Construction 
• Non-Toxic Insulated Gel To Keep Drinks Cold
• Top Shelf Dishwasher Safe

Here's an Easy Recipe I make for Iced Coffee.  I don't like my Iced Coffee to be overpowered by things, so I keep it simple. 

Almond Milk

Cold Coffee

Sugar/Splenda/Whatever Sweetner You Use

Stir

Fill The Cup With Ice

If you use Creamer, you can use that instead of Milk. I use more Coffee than anything. Love me some Dark Roast. This Momma needs her Caffeine.

We had a blast at the park.  

Conclusion: These Cups were Fun, Playful, and Spill proof. I also believe for the convenience of the products offered, they are well worth the price. I personally enjoy things that can be used for many things. Really, I'm for anything that makes life easier. These products did just that.

GETUnReal.com Candy Review

by Life According To GreenVics.

How delicious do these Peanut Butter Cups look!?  They'd be great for Halloween!

UnReal Candy 77, Chocolate Peanut Butter

What I've learned about GetUnReal Candy is Unreal = Unjunked.  That means the candy is made with,

• No Artificial Ingredients
• No Corn Syrup
• No  Partially Hydrogenated Oil
• No GMOs
• No Preservatives
• Low Glycemic Index

My favorite are the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups: Which are only 190 Calories, and 11G of Sugar, which is HALF of what other Peanut Butter Cups are. The chocolates taste, and texture were right on for what I enjoy in my chocolate candy. Smooth, and the way chocolate should taste. The combination of the smooth chocolate, and no artificial ingredients in the peanut butter didn't taste like health food, but just as chocolate & peanut butter should taste together.

Whatever your sweet tooth may be, Unreal has created  lower calories, lower sugar, and natural candy as an alternative to candies we are used to eating.  To me, as long as the candy tastes good, has chocolate that melts in my mouth, and it's something I enjoy as a treat.  Unreal did that for me.  If you're afraid to try it because you think its "too healthy" for you.. Don't think that way.  Think, it hasn't cut out the Sugar, It's just used natural ingredients, and not as much sugar.  I really think people should give it a chance.

Unreal also makes Chocolate Candy Shell Peanuts,  Chocolate Candy Shell, Chocolate Caramel Nouget, & Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nouget Candy. 

The Candy Shelled Chocolates with, and without peanuts were delicious, from the Crunch of the Shell, to the Sweet Chocolate within.  Even The Caramel with, and without peanuts for the Chocolate Caramel Nougets had the perfect ratio of Caramel/Chocolate/Nouget.  

Candy does not have to be made with artificial ingrediants to taste good, and UnReal has proved that to me. It also satisfied my sweet tooth, without making me want to take a bunch of Cinnamon Pills to regulate my sugar intake.  It's a great thing that the Candy has a low glycemic index.  

Is this candy good?  Yes.

Would I give this candy to my family, and friends? I would. These will be perfect for Parties/Holidays/Treats, even For Trick Or Treating.

Is it easy to find this candy in store? Yes!! A lot of  Stores carry UnReal Candy. Up to 30,000+ stores in the United States alone!  I've seen CVS has them buy1get1 free before, and other stores ranging from $.50 to $1.50.

I received this candy for free, for my opinion, honest opinion.  Receiving these 5 candies for free did not sway my opinion, it however was nice to try them!  I've been wanting to try them since I saw the packaging. The packaging has a very unique, distinct logo, that looks like something you'd see on a computer board.  Like a microchip.  That was pretty cool.  It's even embedded into the chocolate.  I'm a sucker for the details.

Noxicare All Natural Topical Pain Cream Review & Giveaway

Noxicare Review & Giveaway, by Life According To GreenVics:

Noxicare is an All Natural Topical Pain Relief Cream made with Turmeric, Willow Bark, Ginger, Rosemary Extract, Holy Basil, Boswellia Extract, and Alpha Lipoic Acids. Meaning, packed full of Natural remedies for pain relief, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, antibacterial, antiviral, and some of the herbs, help other herbs improve effectiveness when used together.

Noxicare Topical Pain Relief Cream

This post is a little personal, and it deals with pain. To me, pain is as personal as you can get.  I don't like to admit when I hurt,  thou every step I take I'm in pain. I'm going to share photos of my Left leg that has the Open Reduction Internal Fixature that starts at my tibia plateau, and is drilled by pins with rods down my tibia. I also have cadavers at my knee.

My Left leg ORIF, The Reason I need pain relief.

I suffer from bone, and nerve pain. Personally, after trying different pain/nerve meds like neurton, lyrica, etc It just made me more sore, and swollen. I took myself off those medications soon after the internal metal was placed (I had External drilled from thigh to ankle first,) and started taking Fish Oils. I'm always trying to find better alternatives than medications that can cause worse side effects than the pain itself.

I do believe in hot baths/massaging the area, and "babying" it when it is "marshmellow" foot. I'll try just about any cream/balm that can give some kind of relief. Especially if it's All Natural. It's one of those WHY NOT try it? Never know if it'll help a little bit, or at least help with the tenderness around the muscles. Sometimes that's the worse, once it swells, and nothing I do will get it down ( I watch salt intake, I eat inflammatory foods,) just sometimes nothing helps.

Rubbing Noxicare In Around Scar Tissue

Winter months topical pain cream like Noxicare is something I have to use. The arctic blast cold, along with metal in my leg, it honestly hurts to the bone. I've been using the Noxicare for a few weeks now. It does relieve the muscle pain on me a little. Tho, keep into consideration, I will always feel pain. I'm not trying to be depressing, I'm just being honest. It did however cut down on some of that nerve pain for me. This, along with the hot baths, and followed by massages, does feel wonderful. For me, that's something, and worth using.

Scent: It's non scented, no medicated smell like some pain relief creams.

Sensation: It did feel hot, but not a bad heat.  The warmth felt good on my cold leg.

Texture:  Thick Consistency, little goes a long way.

Conclusion:  Noxicare did relieve some of my Nerve Pain.
Bone/Nerve Pain hurts. I'm all for anything Naturally that can relieve it.
