Benefits of Turmeric Curcumin

Hello!

It was minus 17 degrees here this morning!  It has warmed up to a blistering 7 degrees. LOL  My car did not want to start, but it finally decided to come to life.  Thank goodness!

Cold weather can really wreak havoc on those that suffer from joint pain.  Todays review may help relieve that pain.

These are easy to swallow capsules.  They are gluten free.

They are a great anti-inflammatory product.  Just 2 capsules a day can help with many health issues.  Some of which include, arthritis, fibromyalgia, GI problems, migraines and muscle soreness.

I have experienced no unwanted side effects from taking this product.  I appreciate that it is made in the USA.

Always check with your doctor before starting anything new.

Save $$ with Non-Stick Silicone baking mats!



Hi!

Welcome to the next review from Dragonfly Tales!  I appreciate you following along!

As we try to eat healthier, more people are preparing home cooked meals.  This can be time consuming.  Todays review will help you not only save time, but also money.  Whewhoo!


company photo
Baking mats are a great alternative to parchment paper or foil.  Kukpo baking mats come in a set of 2, and are FDA approved.

They clean up easily with soapy water, and food doesn't stick, so it is a quick clean up!



Using baking mats also helps the environment, as it cuts down on the amount of trash one throws out.  Many of the items we throw away takes decades to decompose.

Save yourself, time, money and help the environment by switching to Kukpo silicone baking mats.

Baking Mats may be purchased at Amazon.

Precision Digital Milligram Scale for Jewelry,Gems, Mail




Hello!

How are you today?  I ventured out in about 4 inches of snow this morning to clean off my car and let it run for a little while.  I know many of you have much more snow than that, but that is plenty for someone as klunky as me!  I can fall on a flat surface, so I literally take my life in my own hands on slick snow!  :)

Todays review is something that comes in quite handy for those that are looking to buy or sell jewelry.  This small scale is quite accurate and assures that one is getting what they are paying for, or selling.

It is small enough to carry in a purse.  It comes with with calibration weights to ensure it is calibrated to the correct weight.








company photo
It has a very nice LED display, and can measure up to 20 grams.

This is also good for checking to see if a letter one is mailing may need extra postage.

Units of measure are:  g/oz/ct/ozt/dwt and gn.

Precision-milligram scale may be purchased on Amazon.

Save your fingers from cuts with these cut resistant gloves!

Hi!

Well it is confession time!  Every once in a while I review a product that makes me have to spill my guts.  LOL

I am a nightmare with a knife, truly an accident looking for a place to happen! 

In a cooking class I took, I made everyone so nervous when I was using a knife that they asked if they could do the cutting for me! 


I feel safe using these cut resistant gloves.  They are 4 times stronger than leather.  My fingers say; "Thank you."  :)  

Every kitchen should have these gloves.  

I have small hands and the medium size fits just fine.

Here is a list the company has put together to ensure proper usage of your cut resistant gloves.


These would make an ideal gift for any cook!

Hi,

I hope today finds you doing well.  We are getting snow, and although I haven't been out, I have been told the roads are very slick.  Safe travels to all!

Well, let's talk about something a little more fun.  

Many people today want a matte make up finish.  Those with oily skin will want to check out these great blotting papers.


They really do a great job removing the shine from ones face.  They come in a two pack, and each pack has 100 sheets.  Keep a pack for yourself and give a pack to a friend!

Day by Day is a family owned business.  I like to purchase from family owned businesses, don't you?  


These are All Natural Luxury Fiber Tissues and are make up friendly.


They even have a little greeting when you open the lid.  Love those special touches!

3 Products for your spa day from Petunia Skin Care

Hello,

To all of "US" that are snowed in.  I feel sorry for us!  Cabin fever can set in quickly and leave one feeling depressed.  We need a spa day and I have just reviewed 3 great products to help with that!


company photo

Here is the order in which to use these products.  Starting with a clean face/neck, roll the Derma Roller in a horizontal, vertical and diagonal motion.  This will make small openings in ones skin which allows for products to be absorbed better and helps aid in collagen production.  This is a one person only tool and should be cleansed after each use.  It has many other uses, which one can read about on Amazon.



Next, apply the hyaluronic serum, apply your moisturizer over this.



And last, but certainly not least apply the revitalize eye serum.  One pump will do both eyes.  I Love this product!  It is a serum as opposed to a cream.



Ahh, I feel better already!

PREMIUM-Derma-Roller , Best-Aging-Hyaluronic-Serum and Revitalize-Eye-Serum may be purchased on Amazon.

Petunia Skin Care is  a new product line for me and I think they are just awesome.  Great customer service and very nice packaging of their products.

Ever got your panties in a twist?

Hello!

Thank you for being here!  Please take a minute to follow along using the links at the side bar.  This helps to ensure I continue to get great products to review for you!  Thank you very much  :)

Todays review is something that will make your laundry day easier!


company photo

These are the best laundry bags I have used.  They come in 2 convenient sizes.  The two smaller bags are great for socks and undergarments.  The larger sizes are perfect for a sweater.

If you have ever gotten your panties in a twist over the center agitator of your washing machine, you know the disaster that can cause!

These bags feature a great zipper that does not come unzipped during the wash cycle, because the tab is slid under a cover, thus preventing it to come unzipped.




These bags are a must for anyone that uses a laundry mat, as one never knows what was in the washer previously.

Benefits of Rosehip Oil

Hola!

We are expecting a big storm here shortly, and yes I did go to the store and get milk and bread.  LOL  It's the American way, right?

Did any of you get roses for Valentines Day?  I didn't, but I got a box of my favorite cookies!  Although, I have heard you can eat some rose petals, I would rather have cookies!  

Todays review is about Rosehip Oil by Valentia.  First, let me say that Rosehip does not smell like roses.  It has kind of a woodsy smell, but the smell dissipates quickly. So no worries there.  

I recently read a beauty report in which the author said they felt Rosehip oil was fast becoming the new coconut oil.  Sorry, I don't remember where I read it, I read a lot of beauty reports.

Company photo

What does Rosehip oil do?  Well, LOTS!  It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, re-hydrates the skin, evens skin tones, reduces scars and burns.  And, I love using it on my dry brittle nails and cuticles.  It makes my nails look very shiny.  It is great for ones hair too.

I have used other Valentia Products and have been pleased with the results.  I believe them to be a reputable company that cares about their customers.

If you are looking for an all around great skin care product, I recommend trying Organic Rosehip Oil by Valentia.

Rosehip Oil can be purchased on Amazon.

Secure your luggage!

Hi,

I hope today finds you well and healthy!  I am doing good.  Life would be a bit grander if it wasn't so cold!  I am ready for complaining about how hot it is.  LOL

Maybe some of you are considering a trip to warmer weather.  If so, you won't want to leave home without Jetsetter Luggage Locks!

These combination locks will add to the security of the items in your luggage.  


Company photo
They are attractive, sturdy and very easy to operate.  Just choose your 3 digit combo, clip to your suitcase zipper and you are ready to go.


To unlock simply dial in your code and push the button on the bottom of the lock.  Easy!



These are TSA approved, meaning TSA has a special key that can open the lock should they feel the need.   There is no damage to your lock or luggage.

I think these would really be handy when one leaves their items in a hotel room.  I don't like the thoughts that someone could go through my luggage.

Also, I feel these would be ideal to use on items in the home that one wants to keep small children out of.

Luggage Locks may be purchased on Amazon and have a life time guarantee.  One gets two locks for less than $19, that is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

WISHING YOU MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS

Awesome, warm "texting" gloves!

Hello, and welcome back to another edition of Dragonfly Tales!  I appreciate you stopping by!

When I got my first smart phone, I didn't really have a clue how to use it.  It seemed to have a life of its own.  It did things I didn't want it to do.  It beeped and buzzed for reasons beyond me.  I discovered I am the slowest texter in the country!  But, the thing that really threw me was when I tried to use my phone while wearing gloves.  I didn't know one could not do that!  I thought something was wrong with my "smarter than me" phone.

I am really glad I have my texting gloves!  They work great, and no more cold fingers while taking snow pictures.



The thumb, index and middle finger of the gloves have the "magic" texting ability!


It doesn't matter which hand you wear them on, because the "magic texting material is on the front and back of the fingers.

There is the cute little igottech logo on them, but it is nice to know if one puts them on in a rush, they will still have texting ability.

They are warm and I am quite happy with them.  I think you will be too!

Smart Tech Gloves may be purchased on Amazon.

The MANY uses of Indian Healing Clay

Hi!

I hope you are doing well!  I have had a virus/flu thing for 3 days and I'm about tired of it!  

Have you ever heard of Bentonite Clay, also known as Indian Healing Clay?  I never had before I was sent a jar for review.  When I read all it can do, I was like "Wow, this stuff will cure what ails ya."  :)


Company picture


I always save masks and spa treatment stuff for when Haley comes over, it is easier to take pictures of someone else then to try to take them of oneself.  Plus, she is a major skin care fanatic, so everybody's happy!


This comes in powder form and one simply adds water.  As you will see in the following pictures, we made it a little too thick.  I definitely needed to add more water, but... well the first time using anything is kinda like a practice run!  


I told Haley she looked like a stone teiki face.  We had loads of fun and laughed a lot, until the mask started drying, then she is like; "I cat mooove my wips."  ha!

She said she could feel her neck pulling up, and her lips felt fuller.  She also noticed a pulsating on her face, which is normal.


This is after the mask had dried, I think her lips do look fuller!  She had a reddened area on her face before the mask, after washing the mask off, the spot was noticeably lighter.  She said, "my face feels really soft" after we got the mask washed off.  

There are many uses for this clay, some of them include soothing cuts, bug bites and bee stings.  

I would loved to have had this when that family of mosquitoes feasted on my foot one night in Ecuador.  So definitely something to take when travelling or camping.

Indian Healing Clay may be purchased on Amazon.
