Wordless Wednesday - Miami + Key Largo #LoveFL trip

Well, I'm starting out my first wordless Wednesday post with words - 
Surprise, I'm breaking the rules!

Anyways, I won this trip to Miami thanks to a local radio station
and you, my loyal readers, voting for me to win their contest!
So here's a giant thank you to all of you! 

Now to the wordless part of this post, the pictures from our trip:


 






Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale Review

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


The Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale features an Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial which is incredibly easy to read and perfect for a quick weigh-in while your on the go. Weight isn't the most important part of weight loss but if you are like me, you like to see the results on the scale too. I recently was given the opportunity to review this scale and although it doesn't have incredible features it does exactly what I need it to do, it provides me with a reliable and quick way to track my weight. I am fluctuating this month so I won't be sharing my exact results yet but know that I'm measuring and weighing in regularly.

The Ozeri Rev Scale is the world's first weight scale to incorporate a synchronized electro-mechanical Dial and LCD that automatically illuminate and point to your weight in lbs (or kg), for easy-to read results in all light conditions and from any angle.

Boasting a visually arresting design, the Ozeri Rev scale features a pretty decently sized 5.5 inch mechanical dial display with an integrated digital blue-backlit LCD, accented by stylish chrome to create a distinctive retro look, yet with the accuracy of modern technology.

This professional quality scale features an oversized platform made of impact-resistant tempered glass with slip-resistant feet for ideal stability, and a new built-in alarm that reminds you to measure your weight at the same time each day.

Whether your goals are weight loss or muscle gain, the Ozeri Rev features the latest generation of StepOn technology to display your precise body weight upon stepping onto the scale, with no tapping required.

The Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale is auto-calibrated and automatically turns off to conserve battery life. It runs on 3 AAA batteries (included) and features a Low Battery Indicator. It's a pretty low maintenance scale that fits into small places, the perfect fit for any bathroom!

Alexa’s Angels Positivity Bracelet Set.



Spring is full of happiness and cheer,
to celebrate I'm giving away a positivity bracelet.

I'm sure we all have heard of someone performing a random act of kindness for another,

every act of kindness spreads cheer.

I want to begin an act of kindness trend
by giving away this positivity bracelet to one lucky winner.

Positivity Bracelets are a reminder that "attitude is a choice and positivity is contagious!"
Packaged as a set of 3 bracelets, the carding explains their pass-it-on concept:
"Keep one bracelet for yourself
and share the others with loved ones, friends, or even strangers.
Be positive! Pass it on and have fun!"
Crafted of rhodium and nylon, they are stretch fit, one-size-fits-all bracelets.

These fun, happy bracelets arrive in gorgeous packaging, which always makes me smile...





The bracelet sets come in black, light pink, 6 bright colors, and two-toned school/team colors too! They are a great way to build team spirit and support a good cause.
Plus, they remind you to stay positive, which I think we all need sometimes...




 Positivity “Angels” love to share the Positivity Bracelets!
Check out their site for "Pass it on" Bundles and fundraising options.


Another thing to love about these cute little bracelets is the fact that they have  a website inviting the public to share inspirational stories, photos, and quotes. The front side of the bracelet's central metal piece reads "posi+ivi+y" and the reverse side directs the wearer to http://www.shareyourpositivity.org.

 
Here, you’ll find stories of life situations made easier by friends and family members that reached out to share some hope. Some bracelet wearers share that the product help them stay hopeful through difficult medical diagnoses and treatments, to share encouragement with loved ones going through difficult passages, and to enforce a transformation of their own attitude in daily living.

Ageless Derma Natural Concealer Review

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

I fell in love with Ageless Derma's Concealer over the past few weeks, it has helped to hide the circles under my eyes and the random blemishes that I hate having to deal with at 25... so basically it's a magic potion. Ha. It really is a pretty great product that I will give my "stamp of approval", it's ridiculously thick so it offers great coverage. The concealer has vitamins and apple extracts, no parabens, and is made in the USA and is NOT tested on Animals - just a few of the MANY reasons you should check them out.

I just recently started paying attention to the chemicals in my make up and switched to a great natural foundation that I plan on reviewing the future, then I found out about Ageless Derma's concealer and knew I had to try it on my under eye circles. I love that Ageless Derma's concealer offers long lasting coverage and no matter what's going on it always keeps my face looking flawless.



 The only thing I didn't necessarily care for was the shade I chose for myself, I chose Ivory and it was too light for my skin... I guess I'm still adjusting to the fact that I live in Florida and don't really get as pale as I used to back in the midwest... Not bragging, just saying. :P (Oh, by the way, I just got back from a trip to MIAMI today! It was incredible!)

The Ageless Derma line of mineral makeup includes this dynamic Camoufleur Concealer, as well as many other amazing products. With coverage that is flawless and healthy for your skin, you will love Ageless Derma Camoufleur Concealer. It is a 100% mineral make-up that comes in beautiful shades to cover any of your skin’s imperfections.
