    I was very delighted to see the Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Moisturizer Cream Serum by InstaNatural for a promotion on Tomoson. I've reviewed a few InstaNatural products in the past such as their Emu Oil and was very pleased with the products. As per the description on Amazon, the Moisturizer Cream Serum:
    • FIGHTS ACNE & HYPERPIGMENTATION: Niacinamide has natural anti-inflammatory properties that actively work to even your skin tone by reducing breakouts and blemishes. It also soothes your skin to minimize redness, blotchy spots, and age spots.
    • MOISTURIZES & NOURISHES: This gentle lightweight serum glides on your skin like a serum easily and effectively, delivering nutrients such as Vitamin B3, Aloe Vera, Avocado Oil, and Hyaluronic Acid, which moisturize your skin and leave it feeling soft and smooth.
    • FIRMS & PLUMPS SKIN: Apply the Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Serum regularly to shrink pores and plump skin while achieving a healthy glow. This skin lightening treatment is the perfect solution in order to achieve a brighter, smoother, more youthful complexions
    • MADE IN THE USA: Each bottle of Niacinamide Serum is made in our advanced FDA registered facility. We strive to provide high-quality ingredients to our customers to ensure satisfaction.

    The product shipped quickly and is in a 2 oz container. The serum is a medium thick consistency and is white. The serum has a faint smell, like minerals. It dispenses well from the container and a lot of product is dispensed in two pumps. I use the serum in the morning and every other day at night. Since I've been using the serum I've noticed more lightening of the skin and healthier appearance to my face. My face feels very moisturized after using the serum and the serum also lightweight and leaves a cool feeling on the skin as well. Overall I am very happy with this product. I think I found my new moisturizer! Currently the serum retails on Amazon for $16.75.

    About three weeks ago I received the Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil for review. I've heard a few things in the past about tree oil, especially using the oil for the treatment of acne. Though I don't have as much acne as I did when I was younger I still get a few breakout now and then. I also saw that tea tree oil can be used towards the treatment of eczema. Occasionally my daughter's eczema flares up and I was anxious to see how this oil could do for her eczema. 

    According to the product's description on Amazon, the oil:
    • One of the most versatile essential oils. Naturally fight Acne, Toenail Fungus, Lice, Yeast Infections, Skin Tags, Cold Sores, Dandruff, Ringworm, Fleas, Warts, Psoriasis, and More.
    • Use to make your own Shampoo, Lotion, Soap, Face Cleaner, Body Wash, and Toothpaste. Stop polluting your home and make all natural Household Cleaners, Detergents, Shower Sprays, Bathroom Disinfectants, and Kitchen Sprays.
    • Every purchase comes with a FREE eBook 50+ Uses for Tea Tree Oil. We provide you with all the ways to use tea tree oil to improve your life, and replace harmful cleaners around the house. This is your's to keep even if you return the tea tree oil.
    • We Have the Tests to Prove Our Tea Tree Oil's Purity and Potency. Many essential oils are diluted to cut costs. We have the Gas Chromatography Report to prove our tea tree oil is 100% undiluted, and without impurities. Find out what the Aborigines have known for centuries about this amazing gift from nature.
    • Our Australian tea tree plantation has received awards for its industry-leading, conservation farming practices. They have the smaller carbon footprint of any producer of pure and natural Tea Tree Oil. The Australian Parliament has invited them to represent farming operators at a Carbon Farming Incentive forum. They were one of the first producers to be accredited under the Australian Tea Tree Industry Association Code of Practice. The nutrition program for the Tea Tree plants is based on organic fertilizers. When using pesticides (a necessity to ensure the health of the plants) they employ a shield sprayer to minimize any contact with the plant. Whenever possible natural crop protection products are used.
    The shipment of the oil was quick and the product was large at 4 oz. The oil also came with a link to a free ebook with other uses of the oil which was nice. The oil itself is a clear color and has a potent scent. The oil dispenses from the bottle slightly slow and I found myself having to turn the bottle upside down and squeezing it to get more of the product out. For my daughter's eczema I used about two teaspoons of the oil to diffuse in her luke warm bath water. She took well to the oil and I noticed she barely scratched after the bath. The smell of the oil lingered in the house for a while after her bath. I found the scent to be somewhat like the scent of Pinesol. The scent definitely opened up the airways. I like the results that she wasn't scratching as much after the bath but I think I'll use less oil so the scent is not as strong. I put a little oil in her moisturizer and it seems its helping her from scratching too.

    I have used the oil for my acne bumps. I apply to oil by cotton ball to the bumps at night and I have noticed a reduction in size with continued use of the oil. I will use the oil in other  ways such as a bathroom disinfectant as outlined in the book. Overall I am very happy with this oil. I like that it's 100% pure and although the scent of the oil is a bit strong, the oil produces fast results and has so many uses. The ebook was very helpful too. I'll definitely be repurchasing the oil very soon! Currently the oil retails for $24.99 on Amazon.

    A few weeks ago I received the King Athletic Speed Jump Rope for review. I had fun jumping rope when I was in grade school though, I never personally owned one. Since having my daughter I have also been looking for ways to lose the flub from my tummy. When I saw this jump robe advertised I was very excited to try it. According to Amazon the jump rope:
    • AMAZING WORKOUT - for Cross-Training, CrossFit, double-unders, MMA, boxing, cardio endurance training and speed training. Promotes the greatest amount of weight loss in the healthiest manner possible while improving muscle tone in your legs, lower and upper body.
    • DURABLE & ADJUSTABLE - lightning speed 10ft Cable Rope made with durable wire assembly, built to withstand heavy use, ONE SIZE FITS ALL, adjustable length for best results.
    • LIGHTWEIGHT & COMFORTABLE - ergonomic handles, molded to minimize hand fatigue, handles designed to ensure smooth and even rotation.
    • WORKING FOR A GREATER CAUSE - $1 from every purchase you make is equally divided and donated to prostate and breast cancer research. Our vision is to reinforce organizations developing programs that support research that will have the greatest potential to improve prostate and breast cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
    • GUARANTEED INVESTMENT - Protect your investment, jumping rope includes a 30-day money back guarantee and a 5-year warrantee that ensures quality and product satisfaction. See product description below for more info.
    Shipment of the jump rope was fast, though the packaging looked a little beat up. The jump rope was a little dirty as well and I had to brush it off with a paper towel. The jump rope is long at first and must be cut to an appropriate length that is comfortable for personal use. I found that cutting the jump rope to a length that more was suitable for me, was hard because the wires. My dad had a hard time cutting the wires as well. After a couple of minutes he was able to cut the jump rope to a comfortable level. The jump rope itself is light and the handles are very firm. The jump rope did not tangle and was easy to fold.

    I like how light the jump rope is and how it really made jumping effortless. I like how there were exercise suggestions including in the packaging too. Overall I think this is a great jump rope especially for those who want to workout using a jump rope. The rope does require wire cutters to adjust the length which can be tricky but when the length is suitable for personal use, it's smooth sailing towards a fun workout. I've noticed my stomach becoming tighter with using the jump rope for 3 weeks now. I jump for about 30 minutes 3 times a week. Currently the King Athletic Speed Jump Rope retails for $16.97 on Amazon.
