Review: Scented

When you're a mom to little kids taking time to pamper yourself doesn't come easy. I'm lucky if I have five minutes to take a shower before the yelling and fighting starts, let alone have time to take a relaxing bath. I usually have to wait for them to go to bed at night and by that time I am sleepy myself. Or just wait till my husbands get home. 
Well, thanks to Scented bath and body products taking a little time for myself just got easier. Scented offers high quality luxury bath and body products including body creme, body polish, and bath salts. All of which can be used on a regular basis as part of your daily routine without adding extra time. I feel in love with all the products the first time I use them. I felt like I was at a spa but I was doing it all myself. So, now when my kids go to bed it becomes mommy time and a nice hot relaxing bath is my best friend. And not to mention my skin feels great and looks great.

Review: Burnetie Shoes

 Oh, how I ♥ my Chucks. I mean, I love them. But guess what I love even more are Burnetie Shoes! They offer a similar style shoe as Chucks, but they are way more affordable. What makes them extra lovely is that they are also Eco-friendly! They don’t use any chemical products or toxic methods and they reuse. When I got the chance to review this company I was over joyed because I love shoes. When I was little I used to wear Chucks all the time so when I got to looking around the site and seen that Burnetie shoes look just like them I had to have a pair. I got the high-tops in Gothic Grape. As soon as they came in the mail I put them right on and walked around. They where very comfortable. The next day I went out with my husband and kids for a all day family day and I where my high top shoes. My shoes where so comfortable and never hurt my feet all day. If you want some really comfortable shoes that are also stylish then head on over to Burnetie.

Details

This unique lace-up with Velcro top design makes it easy to get in and out of this hi top skate shoes. The upper is made of breathable cotton which makes it both comfortable and functional.

 

A little bit about Burnetie Shoes taken from their website:


 We are the shoe company that is founded on believes that add value to you and what you believe in. We believe in you, your choices and values.

We bring product that fits your lifestyle, un-compromised quality, no-nonsense price and a commitment to our world by striving for a zero waste manufacturing process by factories that are as much committed to their employees as they are to their customers.

We want to improve your life with better shoes while improving the lives and communities of our workers, that is why our factories have award winning Corporate Responsibility programs and why we are working hard to create a zero waste manufacturing process. We started with our innovations in reducing and re-using our rubber waste in a way that is both innovative and ground breaking and as a result our outsoles are made up from 30% to 50% of devulcanized rubber. We believe that packaging is a big part of the solution and we are working on programs that will reduce our packaging by 30%.

The Truth's Thoughts:
Our family was able to try out some awesome snack products from Newman's Own Organics!  We were sent a box full of Fig Newmans, Newman O's cookies, chocolate cups, Pop's corn, pretzels, alphabet cookies, mints, licorice, chocolate bar, and dried fruit!  It was good to know that we were eating organic food with no weirdly named "stuff" that's found in other popular snacks.  Everything was tasty and very well made.  I felt good about feeding these foods to my family.  Newman's Own Organics strive to make our favorite snacks better with organic ingredients…and they really have succeeded!  My two boys went wild over the snack and as a mom I was more then happy to let them eat up all they wanted. I will order and buy lots more of Newman's snack for my boys to take to school in the coming year.
So, if you're looking for DELICIOUS, organic snacks, look no further!  Newman's Own Organics have got you and your snacking needs covered!  :)  Check out the Newman's Own Organics website and like them on Facebook!  Check out the website to find a retailer near you!  I found a few of these items at my local Walmart.

Review: Konvine Roll-Up Shoes

 A little bit about Konvine taken from their website:

Konvine Footwear is ideal for many usage occasions including;

• After a big night out - when you've had enough of those painful, yet stylish shoes!
• When traveling to work - running shoes are not only cumbersome, but are not too attractive with business attire.
• Airplane travel slippers - our comfortable shoes are the perfect fit for your handbag & can simply be unfolded when you are ready to relax during the ride.
• Around the office - Everyone likes to be comfortable at their desk but still need to be presentable if you need to speak to other workers, clients or the boss. Our fold-able shoes will fit right in your office drawer or handbag and can be a great alternative to wearing your heels.
• Wedding Shoes - Every bride says the same thing, "Why did I buy those heels. And I never knew smiling could hurt". But after hours or walking around on your stilts and smiling nonstop, you'll thank yourself for being so smart by buying Konvine's White Wedding Shoes.

Konvine fold-able ballet flats are not disposable & will last you well in to the future, unlike some of the other fold-able shoes that are available on the market.
I hear from many women that they are not slaves to their heels, and much prefer flip-flops. But they all have to wear the stilettos once in a while - and carrying around several different pairs of shoes for one event is just ridiculous. Our shoes are rugged enough to walk anywhere. The sole is made of a study base so your shoes will last for years to come.


The Truth's Review:

 I absolutely love the Konvine shimmery black roll-ups, I received to review. I just wish I had know about these earlier, as I have on several occasions ruined a pair of stockings by taking off my heels due to the pain. These shoes rolled-up small enough to fit in my car glove box or in my purse. So, I will always have a spare pair to put on when my heels become to painful. If I am out and about, all I have to do is just grab my flats and pop them on. I usually put my shoes in my car and keep on with the day wear my roll-up flats.
The Konvine roll-up shoes are well-made and comfortable to wear. They felt soft and cushy with no pinching or squishing of my feet. They almost felt like I am wearing my a pair slippers.


Where to Buy:
You can buy Konvine roll-up shoes online at their website Konvine.com
