#Product REVIEW: Impressionist Paintings


About a year and a half ago, I was contacted by a representative from Framedart.com to review a piece of art they would allow me to choose. This year, again, I asked to review another piece of art. This time however, I didn't let my children know, and chose a piece I have loved for a very long time, "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh.

As before, I am absolutely amazed by the massive selection of artwork that is available for the consumer to choose from. They have everything anyone could be looking for: sports, classics like Monet, modern artwork, photography, animals, you name it, I bet you could find it. A few months ago, I had a friend at work tell me about how she was looking for artwork for her hall stairway. She was looking for very specific things. She was looking for flowery, but not overwhelming in color, pastel, but not washed out, a series that would look good in her hallway, something feminine, but masculine enough for her husband to enjoy as well. I showed her this site and we spent a few minutes looking around the selections. Within 10 minutes, she was able to find exactly what she was looking for.
The website itself is very easy to navigate, with a search option and the ability to filter by frame, canvas, or print, as well as style, color, shape, and size. While it seems the huge selection of options can be overwhelming, the website gets easier the more often you use it.

Again, my beautiful Starry Night came very quickly, less than 2 weeks. The packaging was just as I remembered: professional and safely without a scratch on it. The hanging was the same as last time, with the metal strip.I had to get my husband to hang it, as I had sprained my ankle a few days previous to receiving it and couldn't climb a step stool and balance a picture at the same time.

Overall, I am very happy with this company, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for any type of artwork for their home or office.

#PRODUCT #REVIEW: Health Shield Essential Oil by Healing Solutions

Manufacturer: Healing Solutions

Product Name: Premium Health Shield Essential Oil 

Blend information: Cinnamon, Clove, Eucalyptus, Lemon and Rosemary 


Rating: 5 stars

My Review: I have asthma. Most of the time, 95% of the time, it's under control. The other 5%....I get a cold, or my allergies start acting up, and it goes into my chest. In the past, I've taken cough syrup (Robitussin, Delsym, you name the cough medicine and I have taken it) and inevitably the same ending always occurs. I end up in the ER after a month of a hacking cough, with asthmatic bronchitis, being put on multiple breathing treatments and sent home with antibiotics.
I hate getting colds because I know that is what will happen if it goes into my chest.
Two weeks ago, I came down with a summer cold. Last week, I could feel it going into my chest, so I took a day off of to stay in bed and hopefully rest enough where it would go away. No such luck.
Two days ago, I received Healing Solutions' Premium Health Shield Essential Oil in the mail. I thought I may as well try it, it couldn't do any harm. I googled how to use it. I started putting two drops on the soles of my feet, and two drops on my chest.
So far my cough isn't completely gone but it is 100% better, and this is ALL I am using. No cough medicine, nothing. 
If this keeps me out of the ER this time around, this traditional medicine girl is sold!

#PRODUCT #REVIEW: Fulcrum Gallery.com

Image found at Fulcrum Gallery

Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a representative from Fulcrum Gallery to review a product for them. I would pick any item under a certain amount of money, and it would be shipped to me to review. After trying desperately to convince my two kidlets the beauty of Monet or the abstract wonder of Van Gogh (I guess art appreciation doesn't come till later), we agreed on the above framed picture. I sent in my order, and about a week and a half later, it appeared on my doorstep.
One thing that I absolutely love about the website is the huge, and I do mean huge, assortment or images to choose from. From Monet, to giraffes, to images of far off galaxies, and MC Escher, the offering is enough for anyone of any taste.
The website itself is very easy to navigate, with a search option and the ability to filter by frame, canvas, or print, as well as style, color, shape, and size.After I picked the giraffes (called Giraffe First Love if anyone else loves this picture as much as we do), I had an option to customize the order. and pick between a black, silver or gold frame, or I could get it as a canvas print or an art print, or if I really wanted to go wild I could completely customize it with different frames, mats, different types of glass, or different types of plexiglass. The number of options are insane.
After I put my order in, I got a confirmation number and tracking number. I figured it would take at least 3 weeks for it to come, so I didn't even look at it. A week and a half, maybe even less, I was surprised to find it on my doorstep, waiting for me. That was quick! It was in perfect shape, packaged very professionally and safely. It didn't come broken, or even scratched.
The only downside that I've found, is the method of hanging the picture. It is definitely not what I'm used to. There is a metal strip that you have to nail to the wall with three nails that the picture then hangs on with its own metal strip. In a way, it makes it easier so you're not constantly re-angling it when it goes crooked. However, it also means that you have to get it completely level on the first try or you will find yourself with a few too many nail holes in your wall.

Over all, I'm very pleased with my experience at Fulcrum Gallery.

#PRODUCT #REVIEW: Dr Song's 20% Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin E




Rating: 4 stars


I'm really not one for makeup or even a night time skin routine, but the days do pass, and I am getting those fine lines and thought, why not try it? It can't hurt, right? So I received one as a promotion, a full 1 ounce bottle. When I used it, I found out a little really does go a long way. I can see this bottle lasting me at least a month with daily use. I found it was a little thick, but it is a serum. That being said, it is also a little sticky, but if you wait until it absorbs into your skin and follow it with a good moisturizer, you'll be fine.
After using it for about a week straight, I did start to see an improvement with the slight wrinkles around my eyes. I hope that after more use I will see even more improvement.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
