Vitamin C Serum by Even Glow Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.  

Hello, and welcome to another edition of "This is your life", err ...I mean Dragonfly Tales!  How are things going for ya'll?  I am pretty much a stay-at-homer, so if you are off doing fun and exciting things please share!  :)  I do look forward to the mail person coming because almost daily I receive something fun to share with you.

Anyone out there want to hear their Grand-daughter say to them; "you have no wrinkles"?  I heard those words from my Grand-daughter last week, bless her little heart!  In all honesty I believe it is from using vitamin C serum and Hyaluronic Acid.




Even glow by Valentia differs from  other Vitamin C serums because it also contains Organic Rosehip Seed Oil & Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil, Resistem (Plant Stem Cells), Hyaluronic Acid (Botanical), and green tea extract.  All these work together to provide hydration and correcting dark spots.

If you use Retinol (TM) you may still continue to use it while using Vitamin C serum.

Vitamin C Serum by Even Glow may be purchased on Amazon.

 One can read more about Even Glow here.

WISHING MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO YOU ALL!

Digital Kitchen Scale Review (SURPAHS) No More "Tough Cookies"!

Hello!  Oh, what a beautiful morning!  No, the sun is not shining, it is overcast and raining, but it is a new day.  Every day is a new opportunity to have another go at being the best you that you can be.  I feel like every day I have another chance to be a little kinder, to feel more gratitude for all the lovely things that I have been given.  And, believe me when I say I have been given and forgiven a lot.  

Well, if you are a regular follower, ya know I wasn't given the ""baking gene"  But, well... tough cookies!  ha!   

Actually, the product I am reviewing for you today will help all you fine bakers never to have "tough cookies" again!  It is the Precision Digital Kitchen/Food Scale by Surpahs.

One of the biggest problems with baking and using regular measuring cups is that one can measure out anywhere between 4 - 7 ounces of flour (using a 1 cup measuring cup) which therefore leads to "tough cookies"!

This is not the case when using this stylish stainless steel scale from SURPAHS.  These scales have a "tare" button which one uses to subtract the weight of the bowl being used to measure the ingredients into.  Surpahs, just couldn't make it any easier for making sure one is only weighing the ingredients and not the container.  Just a click of a button!

I personally think this scale is very chic and modern looking.  I love me some stainless steel, and clean up is easy!

Shipping was 5 star and the scales are ready to use straight from the box, as batteries are included.  This is the first Surpahs product I have reviewed, and I am very happy with the quality of this product.  

This lovely set of SURPAHS Precision Digital Kitchen/Food Scales 
may be purchased at Amazon. Oh, and did I mention they weigh both US and International metric weights?  No?  Well, they do!  

WISHING MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO YOU ALL!

Mystelic Beauty - Natures Best Vitamin C Serum Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.  

Happy Happy Happy Day!  I am soooo glad to "see" you!  How have you been?  Anything new going on?  I have loads of new reviews coming up!  Yeah for us!  

I really loved my job as an Operating Room Nurse, but this blogging "job" is loads more fun!  The product I am reviewing for you today is one that has helped repair damage done by years of "scrubbing in" for surgery.  Several times a day for ten years, I scrubbed my hands and forearms with a brush and iodine before putting on the sterile garb to aid with surgery.  I have had problems in reversing dry areas that I believe are a direct result of this.  Until now. :)

I am a big fan of using  Vitamin C serum on my face,  this time I really put Natures Best Vitamin C Serum to the test by also using it on my arms.
I am pleased with the results I have obtained!  I know that it is for ones face, but my arms are super soft!  If I can make any part of my body soft to touch.. well...  I'ma gonna do it!  ha!   As one can see a dropper is provided, which makes it really easy to apply.  After using the serum, one then applies their regular moisturizer.

This is the product claims for Natures Best Vitamin C Serum:


Nature's Best Vitamin C Serum - #1 For Face, Eyes & Acne On The Market - C + E + Hyaluronic Acid Reverse Skin Aging & Wrinkles - Look & Feel Years Younger - Organic 18% Vitamin C Serum > Vidi, Obagi, Powder, Cream

 One may purchase Nature's Best Vitamin C Serum on Amazon.

WISHING MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO YOU ALL!

A Fogless Shower Mirror? Yes! It's true!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Good beautiful day to all of you!  I truly hope today finds you happy and well.  I am happy and I just can't help it!  ha!  I have some stuff in my life that I am not happy about, but I am happy.  I choose to be.  A happy girl is a pretty girl!  :)  I read that somewhere.  ha!  So get out there and start bein' happy!  

What I am reviewing for ya today kinda looks more useful for guys, but I ... and NO I am not revealing how long it has been since I have had a guy in my shower.  Blahaha!  But, anyway, I find this mirror quite useful for myself. 


For myself, I use it to make sure I have removed all my eye make-up and also, when I colored my own hair and rinsed it out in the shower, I used the mirror to make sure I had gotten all the color rinsed off my skin.  It was really quite convenient for that.

For the guys, shaving in the shower is apparently the best shave because the steam from the shower softens the beard and reduces razor burn.

With Father's Day coming up, this would make a great gift.  For you ladies that do have men in your showers, you are kinda givin' yourself a gift too!  :)  Plus, if you can get your guy to shave in the shower, you don't have all that mess in the sink.  Double bonus!

The Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror is sold exclusively through Amazon, where it has a 4.5 star review.  They offer a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.   

When I checked today, it was on sale for $14.99.  That is awesome, because if you would buy 3, (Dad, Father-in-law,Self/Spouse/Significant Other) you would get free shipping also.  

You may purchase this great "fogless shower mirror"
at Amazon.

ADOVIA DEAD SEA MUD MASK REVIEW WITH PICS!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


Hello, and welcome to another beauty product review by Dragonfly Tales.  Please understand when I do a review I have 30 days to use the product before the review is due.  In some cases, I feel a product needs to be used longer to be able to give you long term benefits, but today I will be giving you what Haley and I experienced when we used Adovia.

Now, as most of you know, I have blurted out some pretty personal stuff on here, but when my granddaughter volunteered to pose for the pictures with the mask on, I was all but thrilled.  :)  


We both felt this mask was different from other masks in the way that it made our skin not feel dried out or crack-y,  Our faces felt cool, refreshed and slightly tingly.

The mud washed off really easy with warm water and a wash cloth, there was no pulling or tugging at our skin to get it off, which as one ages, is a good thing!

Here are some of the benefits of Adovia Dead Sea Mud Mask:
Details about the product:
  • Facial Mask Tightens and Purifies Pores leaving Clear, Younger Complexion
    Dead Sea Mud Quickly Reduces Acne and Pimples
    Over 21 Minerals Present in Dead Sea Mud Mask help to keep skin healthier and act as acne treatment
    A Facial Dead Sea Mud Mask Facial Treatmet in Spas cost from $70-120. This Mask contains 30 Sessions!
    Can be Used as Spot Treatment & Blackhead Remover
After the mask treatment, Haley kept feeling her face, saying how soft and refreshed it felt.
  Adovia Dead Sea Mud Mask may be purchased at AMAZON

It is used once a week and has approximately 30 treatments in the tube.  It carries a 5 star review on Amazon.  If you are in the market for a mask, I recommend giving Adovia a go.

WISHING MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO YOU ALL!

"O" is for OZERI! Serafino Glass Review

Hi!  I hope today finds you well and happy!  I slept really good last night, which is not always the case, and whew what a difference sleeping good makes in the way one feels in the morning!  I almost feel like I can make it through the day with out a nap... but prolly not.. because I love taking naps!  ha!  Dad always says taking a nap is like "taking a trip without leaving the farm".  It is kinda like a little get-away.

I also woke feeling happy because today was the day I had decided to try out my new  Serafino Double Wall Insulated Drinking Glasses by OZERI


These are the most wonderful-est glasses I have ever owned!  And, I'm gonna tell ya why.  When I make my coffee in the morning, I like to make 3 cups.  That is too much for most of my coffee cups, so I usually put it in a glass, but owwwie, the glass is quite hot to hold  But, not this morning!  I put my coffee in my double walled OZERI glass and no burning fingers from a hot glass.  It was nothing short of awesome! 

These come two in a pack, so I keep one in the freezer, and one for coffee.  I am not an ice user because..well there is the watering down thing.. but the main reason is.. and it is kind of gross.  But, here goes;  a friend told me that when they cleaned out their ice machines at work they sometimes find dead fishing worms and other bugs in the machine.  ACCKK and gag me with a spoon.  Therefore-after, I have ordered my drinks with no ice.  Food for thought; right? 

Another thing that I like about these heat resistant, mouth-blown borosilicate glasses is they are wide at the rim.  I have had glasses  that narrow at the top and that makes absolutely no sense to me at all.  

These glasses are microwave and freezer safe, and come with a one year warranty.  Your satisfaction is guaranteed.  

One can tell from the pictures that they are contoured which makes them comfortable to hold.  

I want my readers to know that I do have family members that make purchases based on my reviews, so I do not recommend items lightly.  I really feel that one cannot go wrong with the purchase of these glasses.  And, as with all OZERI products I have reviewed, they are top notch quality. 

These are a brand new launch and I'm happy to have been part of the test group.

One may purchase these "oh I need these" glasses at AMAZON

WISHING MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO YOU ALL!

Have you been MATCHA-FIED yet?

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Hola!  ;)  Hello, and don't worry if you have not been matcha-fied yet as I hadn't been either.  Not until Kiss me Organics asked me to review their Organic Matcha Green Tea!  Now, I am officially Matcha-fied!


Now, I will be the first to admit to ya that my green tea kefir smoothy does not look all that yummy.  But, it is a good way for me to incorporate two good products into my body at the same time.  If one has never had kefir, it kinda of tastes like sour cream, when I added the green tea, it gave it a vegetable sour cream taste.  I (here I go again, with the spilling my guts thing) gag quite easily if something smells/tastes bad.  One time my niece, Morgan, was giving me a kiss and burped up sometimes garlic-y smelling right before she gave me the kiss, I gagged til I puked.  We still laugh over that one.  Although, she finds it funnier than I. :)

So, to say that I do not do well with things that smell bad or taste bad is an understatement.  There have been some products I have tried that I'm pretty sure I have puked back into the glass while drinking it. :/

But, I have no problems with drinking Organic Matcha Green Tea, as a tea/latte or as a kefir smoothy, so that is high praise from me!  Anyone in my family will tell ya if I can smell it or drink it without gaggin', then anyone can. ;)  I'll be the first to admit to ya that I am weird.  I was an Operating Room RN.  Blood, guts, brains whatever one may see inside the human body does not gag me, but you get me around a bad smell and I'm hosed.  

Provides all day energy
Boosts Metabolism
Improves Skin Health
Has 137X more antioxidants than a brewed green tea

Kiss me Organics also offers a 30 day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied. So you really have nothing to lose and loads to gain.

Matcha Green Tea may be purchased at AMAZON
