Love how Shiny Parnevu T-Tree Shampoo, Conditioner, and Braid Spray made my hair!

My hair enjoyed, and soaked up the benefits of Parnevu Tea Tree Oil.  I grow my hair out for Locks Of Love.  This will be the 4th Time Donating, and it's already to my waist.  I donated 11 inches almost 2 years ago.  I am happy to say from taking care of it, keeping it trimmed and using natural shampoos I have 10+ more inches to donate again.   

What I really liked about Parnevu's T-Tree Shampoo is the natural scent of the Australian T-Tree.  It also lathers a lot, and that made it extremely easy to massage into my scalp.  T-Tree is great for a healthy scalp! I then used Parnevu for Extra Dry Hair After Shampoo Conditioner.  The Conditioner was thick, and even after my hair absorbed it I could still feel the silky texture while rinsing it all the way out.  I sprayed Parnevu's T-Tree Braid Spray in my hair while it was wet, then let it dry.  Once it was dried I sprayed a little more in, and braided my hair.  Since my hair is long now, and I usually just braid it in one long braid, and that's it.  I don't think of my hair as my own anymore, I think I am taking care of it to give to someone else that really needs it.  

My overall impression of Parnevu was it cleaned my scalp and hair great.  Moisturized to where my hair was shiny.   Before I used the Shampoo, Conditioner, and Spray my hair was dull, and weighed down.   I noticed after I used it my hair was brighter, shinier, and had more natural wave to it.   I'm a huge fan of Leave in Sprays, and the Braid Spray is a better alternative.  It's T-Tree Oil.  Most leave in sprays create itching, and flakes.  Parnevu's T-Tree Braid Spray helps control itching, flaking, conditions and adds shine.  There is also a cool feeling on the scalp from the T-Tree. 

You can find Parnevu Online, Facebook, and Twitter.  Check them out!  If you have never tried T-Tree Oil you really should try Parnevu.  

Parnevu's T-Tree Shampoo is a unique blend of botanicals designed to cleanse the hair and scalp of impurities.  Contains Australian Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia.)  T-Tree Oil is great for itchy dry scalps, and eliminating flakes.  T-Tree Oil is also known to kill bacteria. What's not to love?!

I received samples to review, all opinions, and photos are my own.

Evol Foods has Gluten Free Bowls, and Burritos!

I don't cook as much as I used to, as in full meals since I'm on my diet.  My husband however is completely Gluten Free.  He has lost over 60 Lbs now since going Gluten Free.  Instead of bread we both eat Corn Tortilla Wraps.   So I was blown away when I saw EVOL Foods has Gluten Free Bowls, and Gluten Free Burritos now!  When he gets home from work later, He will be so happy to have a Chicken Enchilada Gluten Free Bowl, and A Side Salad.   I'm a fan of EVOL too!  It's full of protein, and fiber.  The Truffle Parmesan Mac & Cheese is on top for a reason..  

Don't forget to check out my Grilled EVOL Burritos Review by clicking Here,

I can completely do this again, grill some fruits, and vegetables up with the burritos, and still stick to my diets guide lines.  I know my family will be happy,  winter is gone, and I'm feeling the mood to grill some burritos. There were days that the husband couldn't eat dinner with us and I had to prepare something separate since he's Gluten Free.  With the new Evol Gluten Free Burritos I don't have to worry about that.  LOVE EVOL!

I received these to sample for my open, honest opinion.  I was not paid, or told what to say.  All images are my own.

Arctic Zero, Whole Pint 150 Calorie Frozen Dessert Snack!

Seriously how can I feel guilty indulging in a 150 Calorie a PINT Coffee Frozen Dessert Snack?! I can't! It falls into the calories for the 2 snacks I'm allowed to have a day.  There is 2 g's of fiber, and 3.4g's of protein.  Calcium 2%.  It's also fat, and gluten free.

Taste .. FANTASTIC.  The Coffee is one of my favorite Arctic Zero Flavors.

You can find Arctic Zero on Facebook, Twitter, and even buy in Bulk off Amazon if the store locator has none in your area.  These are great snacks, and if you are like me, I love a variety of goodies,  I like that I can still have choices for better alternatives.

Instead of having something sweet as a dessert later tonight after dinner, I will have a bag of low cal Nutrisystem Chips instead.

OraMD Review for 100% Natural Mouth Care

I really thought the 2 drops used at each cleaning did clean my teeth, and my breath.  I don't have gum problems, but if you do, this can help with inflammation.  It's chemical free .  So you won't receive more irritation.  It also kills bacteria.  My overall experience is a great one with OraMD, I've been using mine for almost a month, and a little does go a long way.

More about OraMD:

• Brush twice a day in the morning and evenin using 2-5 drops of OraMD on a toothbrush and brush normally.   

• Floss every evening before brushing – more frequently as needed. Get any food particles out from between teeth. Use OraMD as mouthwash twice a day: morning and evening.

• Just put 2-5 drops into an ounce of water, swish and gargle. This is important to kill the bacteria in the entire mouth including the back of the tongue.

•  Mid-morning, mid-afternoon and as needed: put 2-5 drops on the tip of the tongue to coat the gum line and teeth to kill bacteria and keep breath fresh.

Check OraMD out on their social media websites below.

Painted Earth Skincare Review - Natural & Organic.

Where to start? Other than this is seriously some of the best make-up I've experienced.  Not only is Painted Earth Natural, and Organic Skincare, it is also quite stunning, and beautifully pixelated.  If you love make-up this is worth the scroll down! Can't forget the skin-care too!!  One lucky follower will have the chance to win a Painted Earth "Try Me Set." This set though is all fullsize with $192.00 worth of Painted Earth Product! 

My #1 favorite (yes, though everything was beautiful, but by now you should know I love my browns, and green hues. )  This is Painted Earths - Baked Marbleized - Grass Roots Eye Shadow.  I totally dig it's grass, dirt, earthy tone to it.  It's extremely easy to apply, and blend.  Full of pixels.  

Once applied, I could see the shimmer of the bronze, and gold tones as well with the different hues of green.  

This is just as beautiful as the Grass Root with it's mixture of Blue Hues, Purple Hues, Silver, and Black.  Loved Painted Earth - Eye Fusion - Blue Fusion Eye Shadow.  It reminds me of what it would be like starring down at Earth from Space.  

I'm really enjoying the contrast between my dark browns, and the blue hues in Blue Fusion.  Usually I wear nothing but Green, but this blue is growing on me.  

Doesn't this look like a work of Art? This is the limited edition, Painted Earth - Silk Radiance Mineral High Lite Powder: Formulated with Argon Oil.  Full of Vitamins A,C, and E.  It's to help balance the skin, I don't usually wear foundation, and I just brushed this lightly on and liked how it looked as is.  

I used Painted Earth Professional Concealer under my eyes where I have dark circles, thanks to being in my 30's and having a toddler, haha.  This is seriously a miracle concealer.  It's creamy, and blends in flawless.  

This is the first red lipstick that I own now that looks good with my pale skin.  It goes on fairly effortless for being red.  Did not smudge while applying. This is Painted Earths - Barcelona - Very Very Red.  If you are looking for a deep, dark, red for your collection, this is that red. 

Painted Earth Hint Of Mint: Lip Gloss in, Mint Cherry. Mint Cupid, Mint Hush Pink, Mint Mauve, Mint Sorbet.  Is it obvious I'm a fan of mint?  This was a fantastic find,  not only is it my favorite lipgloss flavor, it also has beautiful pink shades.  The Red Gloss completely pops! When I say flavor, it tastes just like fresh cut mint from the garden.  I also noticed the light cool sensation once applied to my lips too.  

Long wear Painted Earth - Waterproof - Gel Eye liner in Noir.  Blends in smoothly, and goes on thick.  It was extremely easy to use.  I like how it made my eyes pop.

Left - Blue Fusion,  Right - Grass Root.  

Painted Earth Lash Luxe Mascara in Onyx is absolutely amazing!! I loved how it brushed onto my lashes, and separated them.  For how much I applied it did not clump them together at all.  Completely in love with Lash Luxe.  My lashes are already long, now they are super sexy long.  Almost fake looking.  It's awesome.

Loving the Painted Earth Vibran-C Lip Tint Spf 15, Pomegranate.  It made my lips soft, and tastes great.  Has a light sweet pomegranate taste.  What is also great about this stick is the outer layer is Vitamin C, with an inner Vitamin E core.  

Painted Earth Fab Five Mature Skin Care System. For Mature skin. Hydrating Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Face and Neck Firming Lotion, Multi-acid Treatment, Microdermabrasion scrub This kit is a life saver.  Not only does my skin feel clean, and soft.  It also looks younger, and a more even tone.

Painted Earth - PE No. 1 Perfume 100% Sandalwood oil balm.  I like how this perfume stick is in a chapstick size container.  I applied it to my wrists, chest, and just a dab on my neck.  I still smell it, it's not over powering, but just a sweet earthy sandalwood aroma.  A little really does go a long way with this.  

I'm totally rocking the Very Very Red

If you are looking for something different, natural & organic that is hypoallergenic you should check out PaintedEarthSkincare.com , there are honestly so many different choices depending on what you personally enjoy.  Or maybe just go for a color you wouldn't normally wear.  Live a little!  I received these free to sample for my honest opinion.

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

Knowing what Fibond is now, Would you like to win a 25g, 50 to 75 day supply of Fibond? Enter below!

The value after shipping is $33.00, value before shipping $29.95. One Lucky Follower will win! Open to U.S. Residents Only. 18+.  Giveaway begins 3/15 12:00AM Est, Ends 4/2 12:00AM Est.  Winner will be chosen at random via Rafflecopter.  Notified by Email, so please leave a valid email address.  Life According To GreenVics is not responsible for prize shipment.  Shipment will be mailed directly from sponsor.

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 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.)
