Majestic Bombay -Blackhead Blemish Remover Helps Pop Zits The Safe Way

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.




I have discovered a great beauty tool that everyone needs. The Majestic Bombay Blackhead Blemish Remover is a nifty tool that helps pop those pimples the safe way. Many people have zits, acne, whiteheads, blackheads, or whatever you call them. Nobody likes to have these things on our face and we will do anything to get rid of them. Most people try to squeeze them out with our fingers which damages the skin and leads to scarring. 

The Majestic Bombay blemish remover will allow you to pop that zit the safe way and will not damage the skin. This tool has a flat side to press out  blackheads and a angled loop side to roll out whiteheads. It features a no slip grip design for easy hand control. The tool is made of solid stainless steel.

I had to try this cool tool out the day I received it. I had a small pimple on my face and when I used this tool on it the white gunk popped right out. I was amazed how easy it was to use. The next day there was not a mark on my face from where the pimple was. Days later when I wanted to make a video to show how this tool works, I had no zits. I made the video anyway to show how the tool works. When I do get a zit, I will update my video.



Here is video showing how this awesome zit extractor works. I recommend applying a warm moist washcloth on the pimple before using the tool to help pop it faster. It also is best to clean the zit and this tool with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol before using. Also make sure you wash your hands too so  the zit won't get infected.



This blemish remover is  a must have for everyone who has acne or a occasional pimple. Keep one handy so you will stop squeezing your zit with your fingers. For more information on the Majestic Bombay- Blemish remover just click on the below links.

Mac And Cheese Bar For " Its Too Hot To Cook Dinner"





 It is summer and for most of us it is hot outside. When it is hot outside I don't want to turn on the oven to cook dinner so I have a wonderful dinner idea for a hot night dinner. I made a mac and cheese bar the other night for dinner and my family loved it. My kids love mac and cheese but it is a little to plain for my husband.  He like to add things like meat to his mac and cheese which the younger boys will not it. I on the other hand like more veggies in my pasta and less cheese. So I came up with an idea that pleases us all.

I made a pan of pasta, and variety will work but my family likes rotini. I then took a muffin pan and place different items in the cups, you can also use bowls. I used items like cooked broccoli, turkey dogs, veggie chicken( I don't eat meat) salsa and cheese.


I then placed the bowl of pasta and toppings on the counter, along with serving bowls. Everyone put what toppings they wanted into their bowl and then I microwaved each bowl for about a minute until the cheese melted. The result was a dinner that made everyone happy.


I put broccoli, veggie chicken and cheese on my pasta and it was so yummy.


The toppings that you can use are endless. You can use veggies like peas, corn, spinach or other favorites. Meat toppings like cooked chicken, hot dogs and lunch meat are good. I only had cheddar cheese but you can use different cheeses to make great mac and cheese.

This is also a great idea for parties too. This would be great for a kids party instead of the usual pizza. I will be serving this a lot during the summer as my family loved it.

 What toppings will you be using for your mac and cheese bar?

Here are some other "its too hot to cook" ideas. I would love to see some of your "its too hot to cook" dinner ideas. Leave your ideas or links in the comment section.








Azure Naturals ULTIMATE VITAMIN C Serum Is A High Quality Facial Skincare And Anti-aging Product

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


I love reviewing beauty products as I want soft good looking skin. Azure Naturals Ultimate Vitamin C Serum is a beauty product that I enjoyed putting to the test. I knew vitamin C from food or a supplement is a great supplement for your body so I thought why not topically beneficial for your skin. I found out applying vitamin C to your skin is 20 times more effective than taking it by mouth. The function of vitamin C to our skin is the production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that gives our skin its elasticity. When you get older collagen breaks down and those dreadful wrinkles begin to form. 




Azure Naturals Ultimate C can help boost collagen to help counteract those wrinkles. Dr. Oz even recommends vitamin C serum. I knew I wanted the benefits of vitamin C serum as I want to reduce the look of my fine lines on my face and prevent future wrinkles.

I love how easy it is to use Azure Naturals vitamin C serum. I take a few drops of the aloe scented serum and apply it to my face every night before bed. It absorbs fast into my skin and then I use my favorite moisturizer on my face. The serum is gentle on the skin and does not irritate my skin like other products I tried. Within the first week of using the product, I notice that my skin was softer and not so dry anymore. I also noticed that my fine lines were less noticeable after I used the product for 2 weeks. The product does state that it can take 2 -8 weeks to see the reduction of fine lines and spot fading. 


This vitamin C serum has 98% natural ingredients and 72% organic ingredients, contains no alcohol, no parabens, is plant-based, and cruelty-free. It also helps to gradually fade age spots on your skin and deeply penetrates the skin to repair sun damage. I love that the company offers a one-year money-back guarantee. They give you a full refund, including shipping, no matter where you buy the product.

Homemade Soft Playdough That Uses Only Two Ingredients


I discovered a wonderful recipe for soft playdough that uses 2 simple ingredients that you probably have at home. The ingredients are cornstarch and hair condition. I love that the ingredients are safe for children to touch and doesn't hurt their skin like salt based playdoughs. This simple recipe makes a playdough that is very similar to ones you buy at the store but so much cheaper. You can buy the ingredients for under $2.00 and it makes plenty of playdough. You can choose different color hair conditioners to make different colors or use food coloring. I prefer using different color conditioners so it will not stain hands or clothes. You can also use different scented conditioners to make great scented dough like coconut or vanilla. 



Soft Playdough

2 cups cornstarch
1 cup hair conditioner 

Place ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Add more cornstarch as needed to get the dough the texture of playdough. You can use your hands to form the dough into a ball. Store the dough in a tight lidded container so it does not dry out. If it does dry out just work some more conditioner into until it is soft again.


My boys had fun playing with the playdough. It was easy to roll out and they used cookie cutters to create things like play pizza. My son is holding half of the recipe as my other son who is not picture has the other half of the playdough. This makes a great activity for summer.


I used a lightly scented Suave condition and it made a nice white soft dough. I will be buying a purple lavender conditioner or a vanilla scented one for the next batch. 


Drink Duets Bottle Tags Keep You and Your Drink Together

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


Summer is almost here and so are parties. Many people serve bottles of water at their parties to make things easier. How many times have you set your bottled water down after a few sips and then forget which bottle is yours? The doubt sets in and you ask yourself is this mine? What happens next, you just get a new bottle of water. At the end of the party there are many half full bottles of water as other guests do the same as you. The host ends of pour all that water down the drain, what a waste of money. I have a wonderful solution to this water bottle problem.


Drink Duets are fun and functional bottle tags that you slip over the next of a bottled drink. They are colorful and reusable and come in 12 different colors to help guests know which drink is theirs. You can write names on the Drink Duets or even decorate them with stickers. I am thinking what a great party activity for the guests to design their own tags. Just put out the Drink Duets on a table with markers and stickers. The guests will have fun creating their own tag.




The Drink Duets are awesome for all kinds of events like parties, trips to the beach and kid's sport events. These tags are also great for everyday use around the house too. You will save so much money as people will not be wasting drinks as now they can easily know which drink is theirs.
