Fractionated Coconut Oil

Hola,

To all you that are snow bound, I hope you are doing okay.  To all you that are living in sunshine, I'm jealous!  LOL  We got six inches of snow and that is about 5.8 inches too much for me!  But, life goes on and so shall we.  :)

I had never heard of fractionated coconut oil before, so I did some research.  Fractionated coconut oil is a fraction of the whole oil.  Well that cleared things up!  Ha!  Some of its uses is medical, industrial and cosmetics.  It is not a total virgin coconut oil.  

However, I prefer it for what I need coconut oil for, which is for hair, skin and a carrier oil for essential oils.  It is much easier to apply and very convenient.

This is a large bottle, a little goes a long way.  It is "oily" so one needs to rub it in pretty well.  

I use it as a carrier oil for essential oils, such as peppermint.  A good peppermint oil can leave a burning sensation on the skin.  I had a headache and decided to put some peppermint oil on the back of my neck, without using a carrier oil.  It was like:  "Let me take your mind off your headache by burning a hole in the back of your neck."  Blahaha!  Do not try this at home folks!  Haaaa!
Use this great fractionated oil to mix it with.

I have used other products from Majestic Pure and found them to be a reputable company.

Shine some light on your subject with the USB Reading Lamp with Flexible Gooseneck

Hi!

I just got back West Virginia last night, where I was able to meet my newborn Granddaughter, and see Trevor.  I also spent some time with my parents.  It was a great day, as I had all 4 of my grandkids together!  Awwww lovely!

How have you been?  We are suppose to get 5-7 inches of snow today, so... hoping that is a miscalculation!

Todays review will help you shine a little light on the subject!

I really like this USB reading lamp, I am using it right now, instead of having the over head light on, because it is still a tiny bit dark in my room.

I keep it plugged into my computer, but it will work on anything that has a USB port.  Awesome!

One bulb on!

Lighting up the keyboard!

Both bulbs on.

As one can see this puts out great lighting.  Just plug it in a USB port, one click 1 light, second click 2 lights, third click OFF.

This is quite handy, especially for someone that might want to work or read at night and not bother anyone else be having an overhead light on.

Right now on Amazon, these are less than $8!  I think this is a great price for this light.  Especially considering it is rating for 50,000 hours of use!  That is a bunch of hours!

USB Reading Lamp may be purchased on Amazon.

What is a Pulse Oximeter and why you should have one.

Hello!

How are you?  I am doing well.  Thank you for your continued support of Dragonfly Tales!

Todays review is something near and dear to my heart.  Why would a pulse oximeter mean that much to me?  Because I have came near death twice with pneumonia, and a pulse oximeter told the Doctors and Nurses I was in trouble.

A pulse oximeter measures the amount of oxygen in ones blood.  This is very important as it shows how well ones lungs are functioning.

According to research I have done, the average range is 95-99%.  However to gauge your norm, it should be checked intermittently throughout the day for a couple of days.

This pulse oximeter also tells one their pulse rate.  Another good piece of information!

What you get:

The Pulse Ox comes with a handy carrying case and a lanyard.

The batteries come with it, and are easy to install.  No tools required.

One simply clips the Pulse Ox on their finger, pushes the on button and waits for the results.  Looks like I'm doing pretty good!

When removed from the finger, one gets this message.  "Finger Out" and the Pulse Ox automatically shuts off.

A Pulse Oximeter is ideal for those with frequent bronchitis, asthma, COPD, or emphysema.  Or for anyone that needs to check their pulse rate.

Should ones O2 level reach 90, consistently, they should consider notifying their Dr., should it fall any lower, one may want to seek medical attention.

These suggestions are just guidelines, one needs to know what their normal reading is.  In nursing school, I was taught that a dark colored nail polish could affect the O2 reading.

The MeasuPro Pulse Oximeter may be purchased on Amazon.

Bugs out - Fresh Air in!

Hi!

Thank you for being here.  I could not keep this blog running without your help!  I appreciate you following along on Google+, instagram and Facebook.  (links in side bar)

Today's review is a great addition to any household.  The magnetic screen door by Quality Source Products is one of the best I've seen.

I love the fact that the top of the door is held by magnets, thus making it easier to adjust.  Other doors I have tried have used velcro at the top.

                         company photo

Also with the door, they include a roll of velcro for securing down the sides and tacks to offer even more security.

These are ideal for apartment dwellers that cannot put up a regular door.  They are also awesome for those with pets.

The mesh is tight which helps insure bugs stay outside.

Imagine how convenient this would be if you were having an outdoor barbecue.  No more opening and closing the door while trying to carry food out.

I think these would also be ideal for RVs.

Do your children have a tree house?  Perhaps one could make this screen work for that!

Again, thank you for continuing to support my blog.

I am a firm believer in Vitamin C Serum!

Hola!

I hope today finds you well.  I get to see Berklee Ann (5 days old) in a few hours!  I can hardly wait!  I had no idea love for grandchildren could be so strong.  But, I dearly love all 4 of them.

My Mom teases me and  says "If you want to know how great Vicki's grandkids are just ask her, she'll tell ya."  Ha!  Love my Mom too!  And she's great too!  God surely blessed me by placing me in their lives.  I simply could not have a better family.

I love them so much that I have started most of them using Vitamin C serum!  It's true!  Since I have seen such great results, I have started my Granddaughter, Sister, Niece, Mom and Dad on it.

Yep, even my father who is in his late 70's uses it.  I suggested it to him because his face feels chafed after shaving.  He uses it after shaving and feels it has really made a big difference in how his face feels.

My Granddaughter has reduced "breakouts" by at least 90%.  Oh, and she also puts it on her boyfriend!  ha!

Yep we are a close knit Vitamin C Serum family!

This is my first experience working with Naturalico and I am very impressed with the product and customer service.

Most Vitamin C serums come simply wrapped in bubble wrap.  Naturalico takes it a step farther.  It comes in an attractive box that is wrapped in bubble wrap.

The box makes it nicer for gift giving, and it looks like a product one would find at a high end department store.

Naturalico also adds other beneficial ingredients to their Vitamin C Serum: HA, Rosehips, and Vitamin E just to name a few.  In the past I have used all of Vitamin C, HA and Rosehips separately, so it is very convenient to have it all in one product.

It is made in the USA, and carries a 5 star rating on Amazon.

Naturalico Vitamin C Serum may be purchased on Amazon.

Do you have trouble reaching things in your cabinets, or bending over to get items off the floor? Problem Solved!

Hi!

I am super excited today.  I get to see Berklee Ann in a couple of days.  I can't wait to kiss those sweet little cheeks!

How are you?  Anything new going on?

Well, I have something new to tell ya about!  It has really helped me out, maybe it will benefit you also.

It is the Reach it Grab it Tool.

I am only 5 feet tall, getting things out of my kitchen cabinets has always been rough.  Oft times it involves a step stool and I don't feel all that safe on those.

I was thrilled the first time I was able to reach a glass from my top kitchen cabinet with the Reach it tool.  It held tight, no slipping, just great!

The handle is a squeeze trigger and is comfortable to hold.  

The bottom picture shows that even though I am only 5 ft tall, with the Reach it, I can reach clear to the top of my picture window curtains.

I also tried it out by picking small objects up off the floor.  This item is a gem, I tell ya!

This would be ideal for anyone, especially shorter people, the elderly, those in wheelchairs.  I even think one could use this to encourage their children to pick up their toys by letting them use the grabber.  

This also goes to the grocery store with me, because I get tired of waiting for a taller person to come down the aisle to reach something for me.

I am very impressed with how well this grasps items.  I feel comfortable recommending it.

The Reach it Grab it may be purchased on Amazon.

WISHING MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS FOR YOU ALL!

The Unique Danish Dough Whisk - Love it!

Hola!

How are you today?  I hope things are going well in your life.  I am doing well.  I have a little bit of winter time blahs.  But, it is only because I'm not fond of minus degree weather!  :)  Some love the cold and snow, some do not.  But, one thing most of us can agree on is.... one can NEVER have too many kitchen utensils!  Ha!  

I have a dandy utensil to share with you today.  It is a Danish Dough Whisk.  As you will see in the pictures, it is quite unique, just like you!

To be honest, I asked to review it because it looks kind of "old fashioney" to me.  Like something one would find in a old country kitchen.

After, receiving it, I thought this is not going to work, how can it?
Boy was I ever wrong! (My being wrong doesn't happen often, so make note of it. LOL)  

The whisk has a long very sturdy wooden handle. Which is attached to the whisk with a stainless steel ring. It measures 13.5 inches. The added length of the handle really lets one dig into that dough and whisk away!

The rounded shape makes it ideal for scraping down the sides of the bowl.  As one can see in the last picture, where I have just pushed the dough down the sides of the bowl using the whisk.

My grand-daughter was also intrigued by it and she offered to do some whisking too!  

I know it might seem odd to be excited about a whisk, but I am truly impressed with this utensil.  

Wouldn't it be cute with a red ribbon tied around it with a note saying something like "Valentine you whisked me away!"  Okay, maybe not that, but you get my drift.  

Any baker would be pleased with this whisk, and I believe it is sturdy enough to be passed down to the next generation.

They offer a 100% guarantee on it, so you might as well take it for a spin!

Danish Dough Whisk may be purchased on Amazon.

Benefits of Peppermint Essential Oils!

Hello,

For those of you that have been following along, Berklee Ann arrived Monday evening weighing 8lb 4 oz and 20 inches long.  Of course, she is beautiful, everybody says so, not just me!  :)  She is so sweet they should have named her Candy! ...... or Peppermint!

Speaking of Peppermint..... I was given the opportunity to review Pure Body Naturals 100% Peppermint essential oil.

This is quite potent!  I can use it on the soles of my feet without a carrier oil, but I put a drop on the back of my neck and wowza, quite a burning sensation.  I'm a quick learn, so I didn't do that again!  I use a coconut carrier oil, but grapeseed is also a suggestion.  Sometimes when I am having trouble falling asleep, I will just put a little of the oil on a wash cloth and concentrate on the wonderful smell of it.  It calms me.

Peppermint oil makes a relaxing foot rub and can help alleviate headache pain.  It may also help with nausea.  

It is also good for repelling insects and even mice!  Wow talk about all purpose!

I have used other Pure Body Natural essential oils and found them to be high quality and also a 4 oz. bottle is quite a lot of oil.  My niece had a very small bottle that she had paid 1/2 of what this oil cost.  So it is well priced and a great product.

I have found Pure Body Natural to be a trustworthy company.

Garcinia Cambogia Extract 85 % HCA Complex-2

Hello!

The newest member of our family arrived this evening!  Berklee Ann weighed in a 8lb 4 oz.  My 4th grandchild!  WOW!  So, very blessed!

I wish they had Garcinia Cambogia back when I had my kids.  I'm pretty sure I'm still trying to lose the weight I gained way back when.  Ha!

I have used GC off and on for the past several months.  But, this is the highest level of HCA I have used.

In the 3 weeks I have taken this product, I have lost 4 additional pounds.  This is without any activity changes.

I take 1 capsule about 1/2 hour before I plan to eat.  Oft times, I lose the feeling of being hungry.  When I do eat, I eat way less than I use too.  

These capsules are gluten and GMO free.  GC helps increase serotonin level which is great for stress eaters like myself.

I feel good about recommending this product and have in fact told friends and family about it, when they comment on my weight loss.

Check with your Dr. before starting anything new.

Sports Armband for iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S5 ideal for runners!

Hi,

Well, today (Monday) is gonna be a big day for my family!  We will be welcoming a new member to the family!  Berklee Ann will be arriving sometime today!  My second grand daughter, and the only grandchild whose birth I will not be able to attend.  :(  I know I will get lots of updates though!  I can't wait to see her!  Sending much love and prayers to Sara and Sundance!!

Okay, now on with the review!  I have not upgraded to an iphone 6 yet, so I gave this to my son in law.  He is very happy with it.
He said it is a lot nicer than the previous one he was using.

It comes in two arm sizes so no problem finding the right size for you!

The clear covering not only protects ones phone from the weather, but also makes it possible to use without removing the phone from the armband.  The armband is made from sweat resistant material, which adds to the comfort of the wearer.

It even has a key holder!  Limm sure puts a lot of thought into their products and it is great that they are keeping up with the larger size phones.

I have worked with Limm previously and have found them to be a reputable company.

Limm Sports Armband may be purchased on Amazon.

Wishing much love and happiness to you all!!
