Peter Pan is one of my husband's favorite movie genres and I have probably seen them all multiple times. Who is excited for PAN this summer?

This month I decided to combine the 2 unboxing videos because I had so many to do! I also want to start a series where I write about my thoughts after I have don first impression videos. Please comment below if there is anything here you want to see.
My husband takes melatonin for his insomnia. He can't be out in the sun a lot because he gets overheated. Usually he takes pills and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.
This really works. In fact sometimes I think it works too well. I would have to recommend that if you use this, make sure to use it right when you go to bed at a decent hour or else you will be very groggy the next day. For example my husband took some at about 1am and was falling asleep all the next day. Definitely use it around 9-10pm the previous evening.
Melatonin is an element that the body makes naturally when it is in the sun. Like Vitamin D, the body produces and uses it as part of the natural processes. When it gets dark, melatonin tells your body it is time to go to sleep. If your body does not produce enough, then taking it as a pill is a good alternative. All in all I have to say that this product works and it to try it if you are having trouble sleeping. My only complaint is that it is a large bottle for only containing 50 tablets, a bottle half the size would do. Also when I opened the bottle there was a lot of powder. But the product works. You can buy this product on AMAZON. From the Company: *Fall Asleep in 14 Minutes!* Looking for a safe and all natural solution to fall asleep faster, stay asleep, get deep restful sleep, and wake up in the morning refreshed with no lingering grogginess?

Now that I have started getting some more products for men to review, I have taken to letting my male "Side Geeks" test them out. This was the first shaving soap that Marshall had tried.
He describes it like this: " I like this soap. It actually converted me away from shower shaving. It has a good smell, and makes a good lather. It lubricates the skin better than what I had been using. You do want to have a badger-hair shaving brush to lather it with, but it works okay without. As a side note, after washing it off, it did kinda burn like an aftershave until I towel-dried it off."
What I like about it is it contains natural ingredients which I like because there is a lot of bad things in conventional shaving cream. He says that he is official changing over to soap and getting a badger hair brush and flat blades. Going old school...respect. Overall this is a wonderful alternative if you are looking for something instead of shaving cream! You can find this product on AMAZON. From the Company: Bay Rum & Spice Shave soap is a classic clean combination of bay leaf and cinnamon spice with a hint of citrusy lime. A cult classic from the days of Old Spice. Rich lather, bentonite clay and nourishing wheat germ oil help the razor glide effortlessly across your skin. Ingredients: Saponified oils of Olive, Coconut, Castor, Shea Butter, Bentonite Clay, Glycerine, Wheat Germ Oil, Fragrance Oil, Essential Oils, Tocopherol T-50 (Vitamin E), Rosemary Oleoresin (a natural antioxidant). I received this product in exchanged for an honest and unbiased review. Vitamin C Serums are all the rage right now. I have tried a few of them and each have their own benefits. This one from Petunia Skincare is part of a line of skin care items (this being step 2). It contains Hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E along with the Vitamin C. It smells really nice, like oranges and pomegranates which it contains as well. It comes with a cropper top for easy application. It is not as thick as other serums I have tried, and I prefer them to be thicker, but this does not deter from it's ability to work. It is not sticky or greasy but absorbs nicely into the skin. I can tell when I use it that my skin glows and feels fresher. It sells on Amazon for a reasonable price so I definitely recommend you try it!

I am hard of hearing and have been all my life. The kind of hard of hearing the necessitates me having to watch tv with captioning. So I was overjoyed to try these bluetooth headphones.
From unpackaging them to using, it has been a joy. First off, they come in a really nice black case. This is large enough to hold the earphone, cord for charging, and a TON of different sizes of earbuds. I love this because I personally have small ears. The case is strong and will definitely keep the product protected. Once I selected the correct earbuds, the headphones were very comfortable. Pairing it with my phone was easy: Just turn them on, turn on the bluetooth on your phone and it finds it! The sound is great, with volume control on the side of the device. You can answer call using this as well. My only complaint is that they are neon yellow, and it would have been nicer to have it in a blue or green. Nonetheless these are an amazing product.

I love tea and drink it every night before I go to bed. It has a soothing quality and so many health benefits like antioxidents and vitamins.
I had never tried a detox tea before so I was really interested to try this one. First off the tea has a strong taste and smell of cinnamon, ginger, and peppermint which is among its ingredients. Peppermint tea is a personal favorite of mine so I enjoyed that, but I usually don't like cinnamon. After a few sips however, it blended together nicely. Other ingredients are Chamomile, Hibiscus, Papaya Leaf, Echinacea, and Rosehips. All of these are very natural ingredients! It is Gluten free and Kosher so you can definitely use it if you have any limitations on your diet. As for the effect on me, I felt like I was definitely more relaxed before bed, and I did feel a little more energetic after using. Of course I did also start a new exercise regiment so that helped as well. Overall, if you are looking for a natural way to be more healthy, I definitely recommend. If you are interested in this product, you can find it on AMAZON. I am also giving my readers a chance to win their own Total Tea Detox! Simply go to the link HERE and enter. There are no rules except to follow me and comment below why you want to try this tea. Ends May 23rd! From the company: Total Tea is an all natural herbal body detox that can help with irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, diarrhea, and so much more. Caffeine-Free. Kosher Certified. Gluten Free.

This is a great alternative for pills. It gives you 1000 IU per dose, which is a nice amount. The lotion is thick but it sinks nicely into your skin. Unlike other lotions by this brand, there is no scent except for that lotion scent you usually get, if you know what I mean. It comes out white and spreads very well. I recommend using when you wake up so that it gives you that nice awake feeling in the morning.
The product itself is natural and contains no parabens so you know it is not going to harm your chemistry. Overall I cannot say whether it is different than other Vitamin D products, but it is so nice not to have to swallow pills. You can purchase this product from AMAZON or from the WEBSITE.

I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. For someone who does not like to take pills this product is a godsend. It comes out in a thick cream and in a pink color. The smell is nice, like Peppermint and chamomile I can't place. It sinks nicely into the skin and is not greasy or sticky. Also it is nice that there are no parabens and includes lots of natural ingredients. For use, you just use one pump and rub it into the skin. I recommend at night time though to give it plenty of time to work and to prevent any interesting side effects (not that there were but everyone's chemistry is different). However the next morning I work up with energy and awake! Again this is great if you need more B12 and cannot take pills, or you just want something simple!

I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I kind of have an obsession with bags and organization. If it holds something or makes things easier, I love it. That's why I was so excited to be given the opportunity to review these bags. My current lunch bag is large with 2 handles, almost bordering on a tote but smaller. It fits everything I need to take with me including my large water bottle. It even has a small pocket in the front that I can slip my phone into if I have no pockets. Then I received the Hango bag set. You receive a large and a small set as well as a drawstring bag to keep it in. And honestly they do make good lunch boxes. Take a look: See how roomy they are? If you can fit an entire 6 pack of sodas in it, you can fit your lunch.I love the strap on top, which is very trendy looking and attached securely. The zippers close smoothly and it is easy to clean. However, this is not just a lunch bag set. Oh no. Watch how I use the small one. I can keep my morning makeup in here and there is still room to spare. And yes that pallet does fit snugly in the back of it just fine! So I think I am re-purposing this bag for that. My thoughts for the larger bag is for a toiletries case when I travel. I can stand my shampoo and other bath products in it and it will be easy to clean if something spills!!!! Overall I am so happy with this stylish and usable product. Definitely a fan now. Plus it has a lifetime warranty so if something happens to it, they replace it! You can purchase these bags on AMAZON. From the Company: Hango - Your Lunch Bag for everywhere. Anytime. Disclaimer: I was sent this product in exchange for an honest review but it does not change my opinion. AT. ALL. I cannot get enough of InstaNatural products. So when I got the opportunity to try their essential oils, my heart lept, mostly because we love to make our own bath products.What’s more important is that they are made with natural and organic ingredients which are not toxic. You know I preach about minimizing your toxins that you put on your body, and these are a great step to make toward that. When I put the oils in my drawer or on my desk, just in the bottle it was potent. I could smell them very strongly (the lavender gave me a headache) but that means they are long lasting and effective! Overall the scent of Lavender is not my favorite, but my brother does like it. Flowery scents give me a headache so I will write this from his viewpoint. He uses it to scent his sheets to relax himself before bed. He is out like a light! I use the peppermint for a variety of different uses from making shower melts, to preventing congestion, to my own lotion. I cannot get enough of it. My favorite use is for migraines, and it tends to clear it up and help me relax. Was kind of hoping to try their lemon oil in the near future! Listen to what we had to say: Overall I am so happy with these products and this brand that I cannot stop recommending them. Seriously, I would tell you if I did not like it. Purchase some of these for yourself on AMAZON: From the Company: http://twitter.com/InstaNatural About Peppermint Oil: Disclaimer: I received these products in exchange for an honest review but it does not affect my opinion at all. Recently I was sent the Precisio Tweezers by Crave for review. Take a look below at what we thought! In our house, we are really into using the Wii Fit U, but that’s another post/ video. I have always been interested in yoga because i have a lot of body injuries and this would be a lower impact way to get into it. I started doing yoga on the wii fit and got into it pretty well. Turns out I have pretty good balance. Now I am kicking it up. So I was really happy to use this yoga towel. Isn’t the edging cute? It also comes in blue. So what first struck me about this towel was not soft. It’s not rough either, but it has a texture that is different. This is so your feet do not slip around as much and gives you better traction. It machine washes nicely and would be so cute to stick in your gym bag. I felt like this was a good alternative cover to those squishy polyurethane mats and will keep it cleaner, longer. But this product is very multi functional. You can use this as regular towel for the pool or beach too, which is great because it will be very absorbent and thick enough to not feel like you are lying on the ground. Overall if you are beginner like me or very advanced, this will probably be a product you will come to love a lot. Maybe even get more than one. Purchase the Yoga towel on AMAZON.

Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review but it does not alter my opinion. At ALL. I seem to have a knack for finding and reviewing (more like collecting!) these natural skin products. This one is from a new company I just found called Foxbrim. I will have quite a few products coming up from this brand in the future. This is what the product looks like. However it seems like they have changed their packaging so it now looks like this: This consistency of this lotion is very light and not greasy at all. I love that it has natural products like vitamin c, jojoba, and aloe vera. I am a little afraid of the MSM and Panthenol because it does not sound very organic to me, but a lot of the other things in this product does. As for the scent, it is kind of a lotion smell, so it would be nicer if it smelled like vitamin c or something. I feel like it does hydrate really well though, and when i put it on under makeup, there is a very nice glow it gives off. However, it is a very effective product, as it does not settle into my fine lines as all. Overall I like that when I use it, my face truly looks hydrated! Find this Foxbrim Moisturizer on AMAZON. From the company: Expect more from your daily moisturizer. It starts with quality skin protection with proven vitamin C. All the benefits in a single bottle. Create eight-fold antioxidant protection while effectively preventing the formation of free radicals. From lightening sun spots and discoloration to reducing wrinkle formation our lotion provides a number of essential benefits to fortify and prepare skin for the day. Disclaimer: I received this product for an honest and unbiased review but it does not change my opinion at all. Everyone needs to protect their identity someway: Ever since my roommate got his credit card information stolen, I have been looking for a way to protect my information. These are a very stylish alternative and so I was grateful to receive one of these for review so I could try it out. They are a skinny paper sleeve lined in a copper/ aluminum material to help reflect anyone who might be trying to steal your info. I was kind of surprised because it feels kind of flimsy but since I do not have any experience with other products, I don’t know if this is normal. It was a little snug for my card so I had a hard time trying to get my card out of it. Here is a shot of mine: It’s cute right? I can’t really tell you how effective it is because I have no way of knowing but so far no has stole my identity! You can order this product on AMAZON. Information from the company: Genuine BLOCKIT Anti-Theft RFID Signal Blocking Protection Sleeves Six Designs and Colors Haymarket Check,Purple Argyle,Moroccan Green,Fleur De Lis,Black Wallpaper,HoundstoothWe offer 100% customer satisfaction.

This is a really good smelling and feeling oil. It's not too heavy or too greasy. This argan oil is from morocco and makes a good moisturizer for your face, skin, nails, and hair. This one also comes with a dropper for easy application. The product is certified organic and a really good size. You will probably get a lot of uses from this bottle. The only ingredient is organic argan kernel oil which is great because you know that there is nothing bad in the product. When you put it on your skin it rubs in nicely and my skin feels moisturized almost immediately. It also stays moisturized throughout the day. When I I use it on my hair, it keeps the ends from being dry which is amazing. Since I started using it, my nails have gotten stronger and more durable. You can order this product from AMAZON. Also find this company on Social Media and their website: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gopure-Naturals/1532309590375841 From the company:
Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. One of the things I am not too familiar with is skin care beyond the basic washing and exfoliating. These facial peels and derma rollers leave me a little confused. I was sent this kit by Crave Naturals for blemish removals which is a little more my speed. Watch the video below for our thoughts and get 25% Crave products with the code below! Get 25% off this products with the code 9NGNQBWK Lately there has been this push for Argan Oil for healthy skin and hair. Jojoba Oil is a great alternative to this with some other really surprising uses! This product is 100% Jojoba seed oil. According to the package it is certified Organic, and rich in antioxidants and vitamins. It is also anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory which means this is amazingly healthy! Jojoba oil can be used in much the same way that Argan oil is used on your face, body and hair. Things I did not know according to the package is that jojoba oil can also be used as a makeup remover or lip treatment. So I tried that out with this product and it took off even the most stubborn of waterproof mascara with no trouble! This is really amazing to me because this product is so versatile. There is no scent and it is not greasy at all. I rubbed it into my hands and it caused my dry spots to become really well moisturized. After about a week of use, my dry spots are gone and my cuticles are no longer ragged. So many times when I think of oil, I think of it being slick and hard to absorb (mostly I am thinking of Olive oil) but this one does not have that property. It sinks into the skin with ease and makes my skin feel great. I like to mix it with Vanilla for a clean smelling, moisturizing oil. You can purchase this product on AMAZON. Stay tuned because I am reviewing some more products by this company very soon!!!! A word from the company: 100% Pure Jojoba Oil from Foxbrim. EcoCert & USDA Certified Organic. I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I have tried quite a few argan oils lately. It's the new hot product and it has so many uses. This bottle is filled with certified organic argan oil kernals imported from Morocco. Like all argan oils I have tried, this one is great on skin, hair and nails and moisturizes very well. I mix mine in with a little jojoba and peppermint oil for a nice tingly serum. It comes with a very nice dropper for easy application. It is not as strong as some other argan oils I have smelled and is definitely not greasy. It sinks nicely on the skin and makes even the toughest dry spot clear up within the week. My cuticles are softer, my nails feel stronger and my hands overall look more healthy. I only have 2 complaints. The first is the size of the bottle to me is too small. For good value, I would like to see a 4oz bottle to match the size of the Jojoba oil. The other complaint is that the safety seals are extremely hard to get off. However neither of these are a reflection of the product inside. You can purchase this product on AMAZON. From the company: Foxbrim's 100% Pure Organic Argan OilProduct Description: I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I was kind of surprised about this soap to tell you the truth. At first I thought it was for dishes. But then I realized it was a body soap! According to the package it is 100% natural and 98% organic. The ingredients are listed as Coconut oil, sunflower oil, Caster seed, vegetable glycerin, Citric acid and rosemary seed extract. There is no real scent to this soap which both good and bad in my opinion. I would have liked to see a lemon or orange scent perhaps. As far as usage, you can use it on your body and face and neither leave your skin with a soap film. It rinses off and makes your skin feel fresher and cleaner than other soaps I have tried. The lather is light and a little thick overall, but I do think it does a good job at cleaning. I do appreciate the pump also, because it is easier to use than a squeeze bottle. Overall I think this is a great product if you are looking for something natural. You can purchase this product on AMAZON.
