I am still not sure why, but after having my first daughter I lost all of my eyelashes. No matter how hard I tried I could not get them to grow back to their natural length. After months and months of trying I decided to take action and try some lash growing products!

I was able to score some products from Lashem, which are products to help grow your lashes and the overall quality of your lashes. Keep in mind, this is not a miracle products and it does not give you miracle results but I did see a growth in my lashes and it has helped make my lashes stronger so they are not always falling out.

First let me tell you about their Measurable Difference Lash Gel. I have tried some similar products before but the application for those products were not user friendly. I love that this product comes in a mascara like tube and I love the applicator brush! It is the perfect size for easy application onto the edge of your eyelids!

The first couple of nights that I used this product caused my eyes to be a little itchy, but after doing a little more searching I realized that it was not the product itself that was causing my eyes to itch but that my lashes were growing back and trying to break back through the skin. I was very excited but still pretty nervous that they would not stay put. After hearing some horror stories from my friends I was afraid that my lashes would be gone forever! I could not imagine being without my lashes for any longer!

After religiously applying this product for quite some time I can proudly say that my lashes are on their way to recovery! They have not gained their full luster back, but at least it’s a start. I believe that if I keep using this product they will be back to normal soon!

I was also sent their Double Trouble Mascara. This Mascara has two different brush heads to help spread your lashes as well as to give them that volume that everyone craves!

I was very impressed that this mascara helped make my lashes look like they had grown. Here is some pictures of my lashes after using Lashem Products

My dog loves to sleep at the foot of my bed. I don’t blame her because I’m sure my bed is way warmer then her bed. Sometimes I just want to sleep in my bed without a dog permanently attached to my feet. Sunbeam offers a small heater that you can place in your pets bed so that they can stay warm all night without needing to use your feet for their own personal heaters.

I love this heater because you can lift up the cushion of you pets bed and place it directly inside. You don’t need to do anything special with it, and it helps keep their bed warm. I also really like that it has a built in temperature gauge that keeps your pets bed at the heat recommended by veterinarians (102.5 F).

My dog is extremely spoiled. When she is not in our bed she is wrapped up in her own blanket on the floor, but she always climbs back up into the bed by the next morning. With the Heated Pet Bed Insert my dog stays warm in her bed so she is not as likely to get up and climb into our bed.I love that I don’t need to go out and buy her a new bed just so that she can be warm. This insert fits in just about any pet bed, so your dog can sleep even better in their favorite bed.

All you have to do is place it in your pets bed and plug it in, so it is very simple to use.

I love wearing perfume, but I hate that none of them last very long. One thing I have been hearing a lot about is perfume oils. They can smell the same as your favorite perfume but its easier to put on, and it lasts a lot longer then traditional perfume.

Auric Blends has a lot of different perfumes to choose from from their perfume oils.

I received 3 of their top selling perfume oils: Love, Egyptian Goddess, and Aphrodesia.

I really liked the Perfume Oils. Not only did the scent last a very long time, but they smelled amazing! Even though they are oil, they did not leave my skin oily, and they didn’t leave a funny smell either.

I also received two of their Solid Perfumes: Starr Jasmine, and White Gardenia.

I love my new Solid Perfumes! It’s my new favorite way to wear perfume. It comes in a really cool container that you could use again later, and is definitely something that everyone wants to know about.

I love incense too, so of course I got three of their top selling incense as well. I received Opium, Golden Honeysuckle, and Night Queen.

The incense is great, they are strong but not overwhelming like some are, and they have really great scents. They also burn longer then a lot of your average incense.

Between all the products I was able to review, I was very happy with the products. They were of great quality, and Auric Blends definitely knows how to mix their scents. The only thing I would want changed is for the solid perfumes to have a little bit of a deeper container. That way when my perfume was gone I could use it for jewelry or something bigger, I really loved the design and would love to be able to use it for more things.

You can find these and other great products on their website here.

Since I have had my 2 girls, wearing heels and going out is generally not an option. For well over 2 years I have not worn any heels or really even gone out to just have some fun.

I was invited to go to my husband’s aunt’s bachelorette party. I could not wait to go, but I knew that I definitely could wait for the aching in my feet from uncomfortable shoes. Luckily I found a product that would help relieve this aching pain so that I could continue on with my night, and not have to worry about my feet preventing me from having fun.

I put my bottle of After Midnight in my purse so that I had it with me to apply throughout the night. After going to the first club we went to, my feet were already hurting! I was able to take out my After Midnight and spray it onto my feet. I have never been so relieved! Literally within minutes my feet felt great, and I was able to go to the next club without the pain from the last one.

Not only did my feet feel great all night, but when I woke up the next morning my feet didn’t hurt nearly as bad as they should have. All I had to do was spray some more on me feet and they were pain free the rest of the day.

You can use After Midnight on more places than just your feet. I spray it on my husbands shoulders to help relieve his pain, I also have him spray it on my back when I need pain relief. I love how easy it is to use, all you have to do is spray it on and wait for it to kick in! I like to massage it in to make sure that it soaks in, but its not something you have to do.

After Midnight is my new must have thing to keep in my purse, and it will stay there until I’ve used it all. I think that every woman should have this product in their purse.I will definitely be purchasing more in the future!

You can find After Midnight on their website here.
