Rosehip Seed Oil by Beauty Oils.Co Review

I've heard so many wonderful things about Rosehip Oil and was very excited to have the opportunity to review Rosehip Oil by Beauty Oils.Co. 

Since I've entered my 40's, those fine lines seem to be popping up more and more on my face; especially around my eyes.  Rosehip Seed Oil is known to help reduce not only those fine lines, but also  correct dark spots, hydrate dry skin, and reduce scars. 

I researched Rosehip Seed Oil prior to using it. Here's what I found out. First, it is predominantly grown in Chile. It also is naturally rich in vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, including omega-6 and omega-3. Lastly, this oil was used by Native Americans, Mayans and Egyptians as a natural healing remedy. 

The Rosehip Oil by Beauty Oils.Co came in a 2 fl. oz bottle. As soon as I opened it up, I noticed the wonderful fragrance. On the box it said it was 100% pure Rosehip Oil and that all you needed was 1 - 2 drops per usage, which was plenty for covering my entire face. It also shared that you can use as needed. 

For the past two weeks, I've used it twice a day - when I wake up and when I go to bed. I absolutely love the feeling of my face after applying it. Even though it is an oil, when applied it actually absorbs into your skin, leaving it softer and more hydrated. My skin didn't feel oily at all. 

I haven't noticed any change to my fine lines. But again, I've only been using it for two weeks and from prior experience of using other products, I know sometimes it takes a month or two. It also is sunny spring here in the Charlotte, NC area, which isn't helping stop my skins aging process.

Overall, I highly recommend trying Rosehip Oil by Beauty Oils.Co. It really has helped keep my skin hydrated and looking fresh!

Rosehip Oil by Beauty Oils.Co. is available on Amazon.

I received a free sample of Rosehip Oil by Beauty Oils.Co. for my honest opinion, without compensation.

FurBuddy Pet Brush Grooming Kit Review

The FurBuddy Pet Brush Grooming Kit is everything you need to brush any length haired pet! 

I have a golden doodle and an exotic short haired cat. Both require a lot of grooming. 

In fact, I have to brush my golden doodle daily so his Shaggy D.A.-like hair doesn't get all tangled and matted. My 10 year old daughter brushes our exotic short hair at least four times a week to get all the dead hair out. She sheds like crazy! Especially right now because it's spring.




The FurBuddy Grooming Kit comes with:

• A detachable handle
• A Bristle-pin Brush which is great for short or long haired pets. 
• A Slicker Brush which has worked wonders for getting all the dead hair and some tangles out of my golden doodles and exotic shorthaired cats hair.
• A Deshedding Rake. So far we've only used the rake on our dog. It hasn't hurt him once. I own a comb too which he hates. The rake doesn't seem to pull his skin as I'm working out the knots and mats, while the comb pulls his skin and makes him irritable.
• One Year 100% Satisfaction Money Back Guarantee
• A Lifetime Replacement Guarantee

Watch this video to see me using the brushes on my golden doodle! 
He's finally loving grooming time!

Ten Fun Plants For Kids To Grow - Kids Gardening

Kids gardening is such a wonderful thing for kids to do. It teaches them responsibility. It allows them to care for a living thing. It teaches them life skills such as learning about how soil, sunlight and water work together to grow a plant. It also allows you to share in your kids joys of accomplishing something.

Over the years my oldest son has had quite a few different types of plants from carnivorous plants to flowers to growing vegetables. Below are his favorites.

Venus Flytrap

Our Venus Flytrap Jaws

This is my son's favorite plant! Venus Flytrap Plants seek out insects to feed on, making it a carnivorous plant. They are native to North America and actually grow wild in a city in our home state-Wilmington North Carolina.

Fun Venus Flytrap Facts:

• Each trap has six trigger hairs. Three hairs on each lobe.
• To trigger a trap you need to stimulate one hair twice. 
• It takes about 10 days for a Venus Flytrap to completely digest an insect and reopen its trap.

Pitcher Plant

American Pitcher Plant

Nepenthes Pitcher Plant

This is my son's second favorite plant. And yes, it's another carnivorous plant. 

Fun Pitcher Plant Facts:

• It's sweet smelling juice lures in insects, including bees and hornets where they are unable to get back out of the Pitcher plant.
• The juice has chemicals in it which dissolves the insect allowing the plant to eat it up.

Sensitive Plant

This plants leaves fold up when touched, making it another fun gardening experiment for kids.

Fun Sensitive Plant Facts:

• Also called the Touch-me-not plant.
• It has slightly prickly, woody stems.
• It closes during darkness and opens up with light.

Cactus

From my perspective, cactus's are the easiest plant to care for. We have the Desert Biodome Terrarium Plant Growing Kit. We also have a potted Barrel Cactus.

Fun Cactus Facts:

• With this kit you only need to water it 2 - 3 times a year! At least that is what the directions say.
• Most cactus's require more watering than that. For more information on caring for a cactus visit Aggie Horticulture.

Cherry Tomatoes

Yummy! Cherry Tomatoes taste amazing and are so easy to grow.

Fun Cherry Tomato Facts:

• In about a month after planting, they will start flowering. Then tiny green fruits will start to bud, eventually turning into sweet juicy Cherry Tomatoes.
• Ripe Cherry Tomatoes easily pop off the plant.

Basil
Basil is one of my families favorite herbs. You can eat it straight from the plant or dice it up for a delicious Italian dish.

Fun Basil Herb Garden Facts:

• Can grow up to 18 inches.
• Grow in complete sunlight.
• Dried basil loses a lot of it's flavor. Freeze to keep it!

Sunflowers

Sunflowers are one of the most beautiful flowers!

Fun Sunflower Facts:

• The flower head is made up of lots of tiny flowers called florets.
• The stem of a flower can grow up to 10 feet.
• Sunflowers are native to the America's.

Marigolds

Marigolds are another easy plant for kids to care for.

Fun Marigolds Facts:

• Grow from mid-spring to first frost.
• Need full sunlight.
• You can start growing them indoors first and then move them outdoors.

Please share what plants do your kids enjoy growing!
