Pure Zone & Pure Sleep!

[ 244 ] August 29, 2010

PureZoneFor years my husband has suffered from allergies. He’s tried a HUGE variety of medications and sprays and other things that he was hoping would work. Some of them helped for a short while, but then they stopped. Some things {like nasal irrigation systems} were just too much to do daily and several times daily.

Recently PureZone offered me their Personal Air Filtration system to try. I can’t say enough about this product. It truly has worked a miracle for my husband. He LOVES it. Setting up the system was pretty simple. All you had to do was put the fan unit on your choice of stand or brackets that are included, put the filter in place and snap the cover on, plug the remote in… set the unit next to your bed, add your pillow in the pillowcase and your set!

Here’s the PureZone pillow in our bed:

Pure ZoneYou use your choice of pillow in the pillowcase they provide that is a part of the system. The pillowcase is a soft cotton material and it is very comfortable so you shouldn’t have any problems with that. The air we breathe is full of irritants that can trigger asthma and allergy symptoms. Over 99.7% of airborne allergens and pollutants are removed through the charged fiber HEPA filter. The system IS clinically proven to reduce allergy symptoms. For my husband, this is VERY effective. Since we sleep in the same bed, I also notice some results for ME! My nose is not all dry in the morning like usual. I love the little white noise that comes from the fan unit. It’s the perfect rhythm that puts me to sleep in no time! My husband does work a swing shift schedule and sleeping GOOD has always been a challenge. With the PureZone system he is sleeping better all around. He sleeps longer, feels more rested and his allergy symptoms are nearly gone, without the $100′s spent monthly on allergy medications, sprays, etc that give him such very minimal results!

Another thing I should mention is that the unit has adjustable temperatures. This is one of my husbands favorite features. He is always WARM when he sleeps so with this he is able to control the temperature of the air. This in turn keeps him a comfortable temperature when he is sleeping. This not only helps him sleep better, but it keeps him less restless and sleeping through the night longer!

PureZoneAs you can see from the picture the PureZone system is small and takes very little room. It’s not a huge room unit {but I think this personally unit works better in that regards because you are keeping the purified air right in your area}. The remote is easy to use and does light up when you push the buttons. If you wake during the night and need to change settings the remote is nice for that. The pillowcase fills with the purified air. When you lay on it, the air filters around your head giving you the purified air to inhale both through your nose and through your mouth. This unit is QUIET. There is hardly any noise. I actually like the sound of having a fan on when I sleep and I am still sleeping with a white noise machine because this is pretty quiet. My husband does like the little hum from it and says it’s enough “noise” for him to sleep. I guess I like it a little louder then he does.

I honestly can’t say enough about this system. I never thought that we would find something to cure or help my husband’s allergies. He’s able to cut the grass and be outside without swelling up the next day and not being able to see from his eyes. He’s not sneezing all night long and that allows ME to sleep without waking up. He’s more rested and feels great. PureZone has truly been a blessing for us!!

Silky Soft

[ 7 ] August 21, 2010

Skin MD NaturalWhen I comes to lotions, I like to think that I have a good idea of what is good. I have tried SO many different ones that I rarely find one that sticks out to me. They all have their perks and benefits but the baseline is that I want something that is going to pamper my dry cracking skin. Skin MD Natural sent me some of their lotion to try out. I have to say that this is a lot different then other lotions I have tried. Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion is formulated to be far more effective than any other moisturizing lotion or protective cream while still being natural. The formula took over 6 years to create and 600 test  batches.

My favorite things about Skin MD Natural are:

  • Non-greasy
  • Absorbs well
  • Light
  • Soft feeling
  • One product for everywhere (face, hands, feet, body, etc)

Having one bottle of shielding lotion in my bathroom instead of several is not only more environmental friendly (less trash and chemicals) but it’s more convenient. This is especially true for when I travel. I love that I only have to grab and I can use this on my face as well as my hands. It’s a very light weight formula so I can use this under make-up with no troubles. I don’t like the shiny (greasy) look many lotions leave. Skin MD doesn’t leave this residue. It’s completely absorbed and without rubbing for 2 hours either.

Skin MD also has a lotion plus SPF 15. Making Skin MD Natural a daily part of your skin care routine will help protect against sunburn and the signs of premature aging, wrinkles, age spots, and sagging skin. Active sunscreens combined with nourishing Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, Arnica, Comfrey, Chamomile, and Yarrow keep skin silky smooth and hydrated.

BUY: You can by Skin MD Natural & Skin MD Natural + SPF 15  online, at retailers using the store locator or on Amazon!

NETWORK: You can find Skin MD Natural on Facebook and Twitter for updates, sales and more!

Banquet Fruit Pies

[ 3 ] August 20, 2010

Banquet Fruit PiesBanquet has introduced their new Fruit Pies. These are so amazing! We were honored to get to try them and share our thoughts. For us there are only hubby and myself that eat pies so we really enjoy the fact that these are single serving size. Whenever we buy bakery pies they are either not as fresh as we’d like or we waste half of it. These are nice little treats! My grocery store carries them for the low price of just $.99!! We stocked up on them!!

The Banquet Fruit Pies come in apple, peach and cherry berry. We tried all three but the favorite in our house was the apple! They were amazing. You just warm them in the oven for 30 minutes and you have a fresh, WARM pie to enjoy! They are single serving size, but hubby and I did share one and it was more then enough. These are great for single people, college kids, moms needing and indulge and everyone else!! The crust was pie crust and was very crispy when cooked. I feared it might be soggy but it was not.

BUY: Banquet Fruit Pies can be found at most grocers in the freezer section.

Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Banquet Fruit Pies and received samples to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate. All views and opinions with regard to the products or company itself are my own and were not influenced, nor reviewed, by the company prior to posting.

Bring On The Lights!

[ 7 ] August 14, 2010

I am a HUGE fan of lights. In fact it annoys me to no end that this house has very little lightening. We have lamps and such but it would be so much nicer to have ceiling lightening. Hubby and I have actually talked many times about putting some in. We’ve changed out a few of the light figures already so it really wouldn’t be too much more work to add a few. I really want contemporary lighting though!

I love this light! I think it’s very fashionable and unique and truly fits in my home. It’s always a process for me. I can never find what I am looking for or envisioning and that causes me a huge headache! I could literally look at 500 lights before I find “the one”. Luckily for me CSN Stores.com has a TON of selections and I can browse everything in one place! This makes my decision even easier. If I want a floor model, they have them as well. However, I prefer in my house to keep things OUT of the way of the tornadoes that I call my children.

Looking for some extra shopping money for CSN Stores? Enter the giveaway at Skinned Knees and at Two Of a Kind Working on a Full House!!
