Fibond Hair Loss Treatment Review & Giveaway

Review for Fibond Light Brown Hair

Imagine a Magical, Plant Resinous Fiber, and has an anti static agent, with Keratin Derivative that transforms into Instant Hair.. and you have Fibond! It can be used for hair loss treatment for women, and men.  

Best thing about Fibond? It's 100% Natural.

The Fibond comes in a shaker like bottle.  First there is a holographic seal you have to open to get into the box, and then another holographic seal you peel off that's for the holes of the shaker.  It was extremely easy to use. All I did was sprinkle the Fibond on my husbands head, and it only took a few seconds.  I also was curious, and wanted to see what would happen if I blew on the Fibond while it was on his head, and nothing happened.  The fibers moved with the rest of his hair, and did not blow off.  I thought that was different. 

This was our first time trying any type of hair loss product.  When I asked my husband what he thought about Fibond he said, "It feels as if there is fuzz or lint on my head." I said, "You mean hair?" Hahaha.. I love him, it was a little weird seeing him with that much hair.  He looked a lot younger. It also washes out easily in the shower.

Click on this Image to see the Fibers up close.  The Technology, and science involved in this is just unreal. 

I can't get over how well it blended in, and stuck to his head.

The instructions are to,

1. Make sure your hair is dry
2. Hold the bottle at a 45 degree angle over thinning hair area.
3. Shake the bottle gently about 2 inches from your head so that the fibers cling to the thinning area.
4. Repeat steps 3 until you achieve the desired hair coverage.
5. Tightly close the container and store away from moisture when not in use. 

Ingredients:

Plant Resinous Fiber, Keratin Derivative, Antistatic Agent.  Find out more by going to www.Fibond.com

ColorTime Crafts Review & Giveaway!

Today I am reviewing (well, more like playing) Color Time Crafts And Markers.  I was sent the Smile 4 Peace T-shirts.  These are the cutest T-shirts ever.  What's great is that the T-shirts are 100% Pre-Shrunk Cotton, and the Markers are Non-Toxic, Water Resistant, Chlorine Resistant, Odorless, Pigmented, and no ironing needed!  

The prices for the T-shirts are extremely affordable.  For Sizes S-XL $5.95, Bigger Sizes add $2.00.  You can also buy them in bulk, and get a discount. Call for pricing 800-500-0770 .  I think it's fantastic that they are an official Girls Scouts Of America vendor! I was a Girl Scout growing up, Daisy - Brownie - Junior, Almost made it to Cadette! So Love this about ColorTime Crafts.  I can't tell you how many crafts/projects/and badges I earned over the years.  

The markers easily colored onto the fabric.  I only did one layer of color, I think it looks dark enough as is.  It does state if you want to add more color, let it dry, and color over so that the marker's don't bleed through.  I had no trouble with that. Also, it's best to let it dry over night before washing it.  

I absolutely loved this project,  there is really no wrong way to color the tshirt in, it's up to the artist on what colors to use, or designs.  I made myself one to rock too!

The art project was 2 year old approved.  When Sy likes something, he kisses it.  

Anything involving coloring, designing, and just having fun is great.  I really believe that since I grew up around art, and I allow Sy even at a young age see that there are so many different ways to color inside, and outside the lines.  That there is No wrong way, and he will be artistic too.  Right now he still wants to lick markers, and eat the crayons, haha.

I See Me Personalized Children's Books, Snuggle Bunny Review

I See Me's New Snuggle Bunny Personalized Children's book is beyond adorable.  The book itself is great for bed time.  It also helps children learn to count 1 through 10.  Each page is beautifully illustrated, and personalized with my Son's first name.  This is ideal to give him for Easter in his basket.  Below are  a few other ideas from I See Me For Easter.  

I don't give my son a lot of sweets for the Holidays, and he does love books, and stuffed animals.  I just know he's going to love his very own snuggle bunny gift set. Also check out the My Very Own Storybooks, Pirates, Fairytales, Birthdays, and many more!

I received this book for review.  The book meets, and exceeds my expectations.

Artisan Salad is full of Vitamins!

Since I've been eating healthier, and trying to eat more vitamin rich, low calorie meals I discovered that I actually do enjoy Artisan Salad.  

Artisan Lettuces consist of Petite Gem (crunchy sweet mild flavor.) Petite Tango (sharp intense spice flavor.) Petite Oak (lots of texture, and flavor.) 

3oz's of lettuce is only 10 calories. It has the same calorie # as Iceburg but an actual percentage of Vitamins that makes the other lettuces look like sissies.  I also like to add baby spinach in with the salads, along with my favorite veggies.  Just because? It's delicious.  

Artisan Salad has Vitamin A 100%, Vitamin C 10%, Calcium 2%, Iron 4%. 170 MG of Potassium, 2g Carbs, Less than 1 g Fiber, Less than 1g Sugar, 1g Protein, ,

Between my husband, and myself we eat 2 trays of the Artisan Lettuce a week now. I really love it's crisp, fresh taste. It has FLAVOR, and doesn't just taste like water!! If you're a salad person, and you've never tried Artisan Salad you really should. You need those vitamins. Plus I dig it's peppery sweet taste.  You should try it.  

I'm also on Nutrisystem, and part of the Guidelines is to add grocery store add-ins, like vegetables, fruits, nuts, extra protein (Smart Carbs, and Power Fuels.)

I miss the water, the smell of the clean air. I just miss the seclusion, the quiet. I miss being able to sit with my thoughts without someone watching me.

I'm pretty home sick today.  I know it's been 6 years, but I miss the water, the smell of the clean air.  I just miss the seclusion, the quiet.  I miss being able to sit with my thoughts without someone watching me.  

I wanted to show you a few photos I've taken, of places that mean the world to me. I'm not a photographer, but I am an avid lover of beautiful things.  I like to take pictures of things that stand out to me.

This is looking up from the back swing in my Parents yard. One of my favorite go-to spots when I was younger.

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge,  We used to drive over this bridge almost everyday to see family.  The view is just amazing on it.

Driving back trails that most don't even know about is love. This is historic James Town. You don't need to pay for tours.  There are many areas that are free to the public, that the public doesn't even know about.  I used to live across the river from this.  

Sunrises on calm water can put any one at ease.  These are the things I miss.  The simplicity of life.  The wait of the ferry to cross the river.  The pace is completely different than City living. 

Secret spots, that are hidden.  Still clean from this worlds trash.  A clean beach?? Some do exist.  This was one of those spots.  

I miss the quiet walks around a town that's population was only in the 300's.  Historic buildings, and no pollution.  No tourists. 

Sitting at the town beach with my dog as he runs up and down the beach, while I watch a fish kite dance in the wind.  Cool sunset breezes.

Driving onto the Ferry with family, and loved ones to just enjoy the nothingness on the other side.

Weird attractions that you just have to pull over for, and talk to the older generation that owns the store.

Fate bringing you to that store, because it's name is your Dog that's with you.  And the older lady thought you had a healing aura about you, and gives you a $100.00 natural amethyst necklace because she likes you.

While sometimes, the simple things, like a flower in the middle of the woods, around no other flowers,  is a beautiful thing.  

Finding reflections in the photos you've taken, and thinking it's the most beautiful thing ever without having to even touch a photoshop.

Loving the water, and all fish life.  Sometimes I wonder why we don't try harder to find what's exactly hidden in our oceans, like we do in space.

Why? because I love the lines, and underwater plants.  I would like to live under the sea.  I like how just reflections on glass, can make ones imagination roam. 

When a tree calls out to you right at sunset, and looks like the only sunlight left brightens it's red flame.

And, this is why I miss the water, and need to move back.  Don't get me wrong.  The City has some nice Metro Parks, and we have other things .. like the Franklin Park Conservatory, The Zoo & Aquarium.  We've even camped in Athens, Ohio, been to Ash & Old Man's Cave.  It's still not the same as being sea level. 

I'd pay anything to be able to smell that fresh air, right before it rains, when you just know it's going to rain before the storm clouds even roll in.
