Fishers Finery Athletic Wear Review


 
How they arrive;
 Packaged, in a  beautiful navy gift box as well as a clear bag to protect them with a "Thank you" card that provides full care instructions as well as a catalog, and discount code!
The attention to detail is amazing, and honestly rarely seen from ordering online anymore, it makes unwrapping these pants feel very personal, and like a special gift.

Aside from the packaging, let's talk about the pants themselves, the available colors in this style (with the back pockets) are Black, Navy, and Gray. The size range is fantastic, from Regulars to Petites to Longs, x-small to x-large

The fabric that these pants are made of is honestly the softest, nicest fabric of any pants I own! They are a very thick, heavy duty material yet not overly warm, but they definitely keep me warm in this winter weather, and when I wear them working out they wick away the moisture and sweat, but also help me stay cool. I think that's just the magic of the material combination of these pants which is 60% Bamboo Viscose / 25% Organic Cotton / 15% Spandex

The thing I love most about this particular style is that they have back pockets, and these pockets are actually functional i.e. large enough to fit a smart phone, keys, lipstick etc. Because of the pockets, and because of the fit of these pants, I can actually get away with wearing them at work paired with heels and a dressy blouse. Let me tell you, these are the most comfortable pair of pants I have ever gotten to wear at work, it feels like a soft cozy pair of yoga pants, but with a dressier look! Another bonus that I have noticed is the fact that these do a great job of gentle compression on the lower stomach area, it really helps to make that area look flatter, they are very well fitting and flattering in general.

Women's EcoFabric™ Boot Leg Yoga Pant $39.98


These are made of the same great fabric as the Women's EcoFabric™ Boot Leg Yoga Pant with Back Pockets, and are available in the same size range, and in colors Gray, Navy, Black, and a super cute Light Gray (see below)
These are the perfect pants for running errands, working out, yoga, any kind of sport or activity where you just want to be comfortable!

Just like the ecofabric back pocket pants, these pants also do a great job of camouflaging any extra bit of tummy you may have, and they have a high rise, on me personally they come up right at my belly button, and are very slimming, I love to wear these with tops that are more fitted because they are so flattering on my bottom area and on my stomach. If you are a little shy/uncomfortable about your stomach area, I would highly suggest giving these a try because they make a huge difference in how you look in work out tops because of the slimming effect!

Overall, I would very highly recommend both of these pants, the quality is extremely high and will last you for years with proper care! and the price is so reasonable, and low for the exceptional quality.

Be Natural Organics Skincare Review

Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser $19.00 for 7 fl oz
"This gentle, yet powerful, foaming cleanser is enriched with botanical actives to provide nourishment and protection every time you cleanse. It is a perfect organic skincare option for those who want a simple, traditional cleanser with clean, non-toxic ingredients. Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser is as valuable for what it doesn't contain as for what it does; you won't find any potentially irritating ingredients here so it's a great choice for truly sensitive skin. Rosehip seed oil soothes and treats damage from overexposure to the sun. Sea kelp conditions, hydrates and helps detoxify the skin. "

This is the perfect face wash for those of us with dry, sensitive skin! My skin tends to get flaky, especially on my forehead, and I do have a little rosacea on my cheeks. This facial wash comes in foam form, and is very light, produces a nice lather, and rinses off easily.

It doesn't dry out my already dry skin or irritate my rosacea, this is a great, gentle cleanser, and it's Vegan!

Gentle Face Lotion $24.00 for 1 oz
"This lotion was specifically designed for sensitive skin and fragile skin. This organic skincare product won't burn, sting or cause irritation. Gentle Face Lotion is rich in antioxidants (including powerful polyphenol compounds) to help repair damage caused from the sun and oxidative stress. The antioxidants also serve a protective function against daily sun and environmental pollutant exposure. The light, soothing base of certified organic Bulgarian rose distillates nourishes, calms and conditions the skin with a mild natural aroma. Unlike other synthetic-based moisturizers for sensitive skin, Gentle Face Lotion does not contain harmful chemical preservatives, additives or synthetic fragrances."

One of my favorite things about this lotion is how lightweight yet moisturizing it is; it quenches my dry skin, but does not cause any break outs, it doesn't sting or irritate my skin in any way. The face lotion has no real scent which is perfect for those of us with sensitive skin, and it absorbs quickly leaving my skin with a soft glow! If you're like me, and you have dry skin but hate the feeling of thick, greasy creams that won't fully absorb into your skin then I would HIGHLY recommend this face lotion! As an added bonus it's also Vegan.

Overall, I would high recommend both products, especially the face lotion.

Mindful Minerals Skincare Review

I came across Mindful Minerals North Texas (MMNT, LLC) website www.mindfulmnt.com from referrals by a few of my readers. I decided Mindful Minerals looked like something I would love to try because I have difficult skin. I contacted Stephanie Talia (owner of MMNT, LLC).  She is an authorized distributor of Mindful Minerals in the North Texas area. Stephanie asked about my skin issues/concerns and determined that the Rosacea skin care products would be the right fit for me to try.

2 Dead Sea Mud Bars + Free Mud Mask $10.00
“Just Get Dirty” Dead Sea Mud Purifying Bar—This rich lathering soap made with Dead Sea Mud and pure Eucalyptus essential oil is great for cleansing and detoxifying the skin.  This soap has a slight texture from the mud that helps exfoliate and remove dead skin cells while deep cleaning the skin.  All natural vegetable oil soaps are made with 100% natural scents and infused with the minerals from the Dead Sea."

I absolutely love these dead sea mud bars! They produce a nice, creamy lather, rinse off the skin easily while still leaving my face baby soft and clean. I noticed pretty amazing results right away as far as redness was concerned, even after the first wash I noticed my face was less red than with my previous cleanser, and I noticed almost all redness gone after 3 days of use (cleansing day and night)

A little bit of background on my skin, I have rosacea on my cheeks, occasional break outs, and overall dryness especially on my forehead which has a tendency to peel if I don't lather on the moisturizer. 

I did not find this soap to be overly drying or irritating in any way, I plan to keep using this as my go-to face cleanser!

As far as the Triple Fusion Mud Masque is concerned

"Get Dirty Dead Sea Mud Mask is our mineral rich mud from the Dead Sea and Organic Aloe Vera this completely natural, organic material has over 35 minerals and trace elements to deep clean and detoxify the skin. The micro-molecules of this clay have powerful absorbing qualities literally “drinking” toxins, oils and impurities from your skin. The toning action stimulates circulation bringing fresh blood to damaged skin cells, revitalizing the complexion and tightening pores."

Just like the mud bars, I also love this Mud Masque! It makes my skin feel SO soft after I use it as well as leaving my skin tighter, and I have noticed it seems to really draw out any impurities under the skin. I also like the fact that it's not super difficult to wash off like some masques I have tried, and I find it much gentler on the skin.

BB CC Cream SPF 30 Shade - Light/Medium (it comes in 3 colors light/medium, medium and medium/tan) $40.00 for 1 fl. oz
"All-in-one day cream is your 30 SPF Broad Spectrum  UVA/UVB chemical-free barrier sun protection that  releases wrinkles, and hydrates skin. . With skin perfecting minerals to help blur imperfections, this treatment  minimizes pores, acts as a primer and concealer while it reduces hyper-pigmentation, inhibits acne, balances, mineralizes and nourishes the skin."

This is the perfect product to use to start your morning off, and get a little bit of coverage as well as SPF, in my opinion it takes the place of a tinted moisturizer as well as a sunscreen. It is thicker than a traditional moisturizer, but not overly heavy. As far as moisture, I would say it's a light-medium moisturizer. I use this in mornings if my skin is decently moisturized from the night before, if my skin is flaky in the morning than I will instead use my Get Carded Peptide. 

I really do love the light coverage this provides, I never wear foundation because I don't like much coverage so this is perfect! It really cancels out any redness I may have that day, and I love that I don't have to worry about SPF since this has the SPF in it.

"Get Carded Anti Aging Peptide features Dead Sea minerals and peptides to deliver results without harmful chemicals or injections.

This three in one product replaces your moisturizer, eye cream and anti-aging serum with one powerful product that diminishes crow’s feet, forehead lines and builds collagen. Skip the Botox but don’t forget your I.D.!"


This has been wonderful for my dry, flakey skin! It really plumps up and hydrates my skin. As the weather is getting cooler here my skin is drying out terribly, and I've found using this twice a day my skin is much more hydrated and less flakey!


Get Even Exfoliating Cleanser $18.00 for FULL SIZE which is 4 fl. oz (sample size shown in photo below.)
"Get Even” Dead Sea Exfoliating Cleanser
A micro-scrub with willow bark, lactic acid and sugar cane, “Get Even” stimulates cell turnover, decongests pores and helps to even out the complexion, while protecting the skin with natural humectants and fatty acids that sooth and heal.  Rich with Dead Sea minerals, “Get Even” is naturally anti-microbial and anti-bacterial and may show benefit to sufferers of acne, while the cranberry fruit extract helps fight free-radical damage."

The texture of this scrub is unique, it's similar to a gel consistency but with many small exfoliating particles. I use this scrub once a week since it does provide a deep exfoliation, it does a great job at removing dead skin and minimizing my flakiness.

Overall I highly suggest giving Mindful Minerals products a try, ESPECIALLY those of you with specific skin concerns such as rosacea, acne, aging, or eczema!

Jade and Pearl Sea Pearl Sponge Tampons Review

Classic Pack $21.00
"Sea Pearls are completely natural sea sponges that come from the ocean. Here at Jade & Pearl, a great deal of care is given to every single sponge we send out. Each Sea Pearl is washed, inspected, trimmed, and packaged by our expert sponge squad. The detailed care that goes into each sponge ensures that we continue providing the same high quality sea sponges that we have offered to the women of the world for the past 40 years.



Sea Pearls are:

extremely absorbent, soft, & durable
a naturally renewable resource
sustainably harvested
free of chemicals, dioxin, bleach, chlorine, fragrance, dyes or synthetic materials
reusable for up to 3-6 months or more"

 I loved these from the moment I tried them! They're very easy to insert and remove (although if you aren't used to string-less feminine products it may take some practice.) I use them even for spotting or when I think I am about to get my period without the worry of toxic shock.

These clean up fairly easy, just rinse and reinsert or let them soak in peroxide for a deep clean between uses.

These also trim up very well if you need to adjust them to better fit your needs! I have noticed my flow getting lighter with use as well.

I highly recommend these they can last up to 6 months, and they're much more cost efficient than tampons and pads plus more environmentally friendly.

Himalayan Sea Salt Lamps - Add a Beautiful Touch!

So as you all probably know, Salt Lamps are all the rage this year with the whole Boho, Hippie decor theme and this beautiful Salt Lamp was sent to me courtesy of yoursaltlamps.com! I was super excited to receive it as I have never before owned a salt lamp, and have heard that there are many benefits to it.

Himalayan Salt lamps have been proven to

-Generate negative ions, which neutralize toxins that cloud the air we breathe which can improve allergies, and the soft light it provides give a nice ambiance to the room.

-Great for mood lighting and reading by!

 I have really enjoying using this lamp, it was easy to assemble, just insert the base into the salt and plug it in and you are set! It arrived packaged carefully with no damage at all.

 Overall, I love the ambiance and soft light that this lamp provides, not to mention that it adds a great vibe to your decor!
