Red apple is a small made in american company . They have amazing products and All of their products are hand selected,and have safe ingredients!  Their lipsticks are gluten free & paraben free.

The lipstick tube is just the cutest thing ever with little dots for gripping all over it.. its original and i dont have any other lipstick tube like it. 

The products i got are The lip gloss in Diamond Sands as seen below in the picture. I love this gloss it blends well with my lips and has the perfect amount of shine. Has a pleasant scent and i love how it feels on my lips.. looks great alone or worn on top of a lipstick to give it a nice glow.This is for sure a 5 star product in my book .. i love it and highly recommend it to others.

Hydracentials Sporty 25 Oz Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle by Hydracentials Review

You can purchase this water bottle here on Amazon. 

Ok I am not going to lie..At first i wanted this for my fiancé to take to work with him i figured it would be perfect for him to take to his job and help keep his drink cold. But then after having this and realizing how much i loved it just one day of him having it at work and I was like yea ok thats not going to happen i like it too much . Its too nice to let him get it all oily and dirty even if its kept in his crew truck.And the awsome koozie i got with it no way thats leaving the house. 

I just absolutely love this bottle .I had to keep fighting with my kids to use it because they love it also, its perfect for them because its spill free and it keeps things so so cold. I actually went out and bout them each a Snackie cup so now i have my water bottle back lol.  

I myself have never had a better water bottle that has kept my drink so cold. I live in oklahoma and its still in the high 90s here and i left my bottle outside on the table and went back about an hour later and the water was still just as cold as when i put it in there. The koozie is just a added bonus and it makes it look so nice and keeps the white clean but its not really needed much because the bottle its self does not seem to sweat and stuff is already still really cold. But i like having it and it gives you a good grip . The bottom has a smooth pad that helps it from not slipping thats a great bonus also . This bottle will last a long time.

Awesome Koozie 

The other great thing i got are the straw cleaners these things are amazing and great to have not only for the bottle for other cups with straws and with having 3 kids in the house i have lots of those laying around.And so far it seems to work  in alot of them .

Straw Cleaners

Overall i really love this product and i am so happy i got to review it and the extra bonus items. I highly recommend  it to everyone!

Interesting facts on what to avoid when picking an arm band.

 - Avoid Clear Plastic Covers: These hinder touch screen response and limit access to buttons. Look for a high quality case.



- Avoid Seams: The more seams your armband has, the more problems you may encounter in the future. Premium Armbands have fewer seams.

My experience with this product:

My SO loves this.He has this for his iphone 5s . We live by the local high-school so the track is right across the road from our house and that is where he likes to run and have his music with him while he does so. So he tested it out over at the track and said he absolutely loved it. He never wants to run without it again. Much better then running with his phone in his pocket any day. This is the first product he has ever used like this and he does not want to go without it now. So i would say thats a good thing. 

Now i would say he has rather large forearms but this fit quite well. The case is sturdy easy to put on the phone. The velcro straps are nice and thick and stick together well so you dont have to fear the phone flying off  your arm while you are running . I love how it also comes with a phone screen cover its always nice to have those. 

The only thing i can think of that is anything negative is that it needs to be in this case to work with the armband. So for people like my SO who needs a heavy duty case for while he is at work he needs to switch back and forth each time .. its a bit annoying but not something that is really a huge problem. 

All and all this is a great product and i am glad i was able to try it out for review.

My Opinion 

So i have to say this about the product i love the razor hanger it comes in handy for keeping it up and out of reach from our children. The other half loved using it for shaving and i myself love having the mirror in the shower to be able to see when i am washing my face and brushing my teeth. I  dont know why but ever since college i have brushed my teeth in the shower and this fogless mirror has made that amazing. 

It is lightweight and very easy to install it has held up now for a few weeks in the shower and has not fallen once even with the kids messing with it . I have read reviews of the fact that some of them over time stop being fogless, So far that is not the case for mine. Before now i myself have never had a fogless mirror for my shower so i dont have much to compare it to, but i have used this one and i highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good mirror for their shower needs. I am happy i got to try this product for review.

Stretching the Borders by Yael Shachnay book review

You can purchase the book on amazon by clicking the picture

From good reads:

Sometime reality is beyond all imagination When you play the game, stretching the borders, you can get lost and forget the rules.

Naomi leads a so-called peaceful life. She lives in a lovely apartment in the center of Tel Aviv with her loving, supporting husband and their two teenage children, works for a daily newspaper, and in her free time concentrates on art. But all this isn’t enough when her entire world is turned upside down one evening after which she’s drawn into a maelstrom of emotions and urges, lies and enigmas. Secrets from the past surface and merge with new ones, and Naomi discovers she’s living a complex life with parallels in several worlds: the people closest to her are also hiding from her their secrets and abusing her trust.

˃˃˃ Forgiveness, absolution, and feelings of guilt

Stretching the Borders raises questions about the essence of forgiveness, absolution, and feelings of guilt, as they face secrets and lies, some less white than others. The threads wrap around each other in a conflict solved only through a process of an agonizing journey, which doesn’t always achieve its desired comfort.

˃˃˃ Painstaking exposing of feelings

With a sharp scalpel and piercing sensitivity, Yael Shachnai invades her protagonist’s soul, painstakingly exposing the feelings and thoughts hiding behind the pretty clothes and carefully applied makeup, while also bravely and honestly scrutinizing concepts such as happy families, relationships, family dinners, protective motherhood, loyalty, and love.

My opinion:

I have to say i really enjoyed this book. I have never read anything by Yael Shachnay. It was a great read and i liked it. The Main Charter is Naomi(also my youngest daughters name) she is a typical woman loves art and cooking works for a newspaper company, she is married and is a mother. She becomes quite bored with her everyday life and seeks out some excitement which she realizes way to late is not as great as she thought it would be. She soon finds herself living a double life full of nothing but secrets and lies and cant seem to find her way out. Does it hurt more to tell the truth or hold it all in?

 I was hooked from the first chapter and could not put it down i highly recomend this book and i am so happy i was able to have the chance to read it for review.

My review of Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques

Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques is a new and innovative approach to makeup. We use the finest, natural and certified organic plant oils and extracts, soothing flower essences, plus beautiful minerals and pigments from the earth to create the most exquisite, healthy makeup available for your skin. Combined, these opulent ingredients have exceptional skin-softening, moisturizing and anti-aging abilities that help revitalize, rejuvenate, and restore your skin's vibrant glow.

Why organic? Our skin absorbs up to 60% of what is applied to it. Most products today contain toxic chemicals, petroleum-based ingredients, artificial colors and fragrances, and harmful preservatives that are absorbed into your skin, clog the pores, and actually cause your skin to age faster! Organically grown plants have been found to contain greater amounts of vitamins, nutrients, and anti-oxidants than plants grown with pesticides. We believe your skin deserves the very best that Nature has to give. Our line of cosmetics and skin care products are purely natural and organic.  No parabens, chemicals, or unnecessary fillers are used in the creation of our products.

Mission

To provide women with truly natural and healthy beauty products and to empower women to embrace and celebrate their unique beauty.

Company Overview

We have developed our healthy, natural and organic makeup line to not only enhance your natural beauty, but nourish your skin at the same time.

I was recently chosen to get 2 products and try them out for review from the amazing Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques.I have to say that i have never been more pleased. The colors i chose were just perfect. I absolutely love the lipstick and i am not a big lipstick person i never like how it feels on my lips but with the lipstick i got for review i loved it and could wear it all day and it is moisturising and just perfect. The shadow i picked was a purple shade, purple is my favorite color and i was highly pleased with this shade and the pigmentation is great.I must say that when it comes to lipstick organic is for sure the way to go for me. It seems to really be the only type of lipstick that i am able to enjoy. I also want to say that customer service with this company is amazing and I highly recommend them.

Bake It Fun Silicon baking Mat

Since I have started to do reviews for products this has been by far my favorite product that i have received. I love this silicone baking mat and it is now a staple item i must have in my kitchen. As much baking as we do in this house i can not believe it has taken me this long to get a silicone baking mat . I have used them before in other various bakery's i have worked in but i have never liked one that i like , like this one. Me and my kids decided to make some Reeses pieces peanut butter oatmeal cookies. They came out amazing not one single cookie stuck as u can see in the pictures below they all cooked evenly and nothing burnt . They came out a nice golden brown and they were ever so yummy. I loved that the mat its self was never really hot to the touch they could be removed right away or left on the mat to cool. The possibility's  are endless with this mat. I cant wait to make some macaroons. I love how there are circles to place your dough even tho you dont have to use them its great guide and a ruler to help you space other products you may make. I also must mention that this mat is so easy to clean wipes right off. I love this baking mat and plan to get more. I highly recommend this product and i am happy i was able to review it. 

Box the baking mat came in. 

Baking Mat in all its glory! 

Nice even portions!

My silly girls they loved helping make the cookies and using the mat! 

The Finished product so yummy!

Adovia Exfoliating Facial Sea Salts

I love these i was so excited to get these facial salts and there is so much product that it will last me forever i am so excited to try out different ways to use this product and there are sooo many things you can do. My main interest is making my own salt scrubs. I will post a few recipes below. I highly recommend these salts and a little goes a long way! 

You can purchase them here on Cleopatra's Choice  or amazon 

Ingredients:
1/2 cup oil. Use sweet almond, grapeseed or another light-textured massage oil. Don't use simple cooking oil from your pantry.

1 cup fine sea salt. Baleine is a good choice. Don't use simple iodized table salt -- it's too harsh. If you have sensitive skin you can substitute sugar, which is gentler.

5-15 drops high quality essential oils. The essential oil you choose for your salt scrub depends on the result you want. Lavender is relaxing, lemongrass is refreshing and rosemary is stimulating. You can experiment and do your own blend.

Directions:
Put the salt (or sugar) in a small bowl.

Add the oil, mixing well with a spoon or wooden stick. The texture should be moist enough to hold together, but not overly oily. You can adjust the amount of oil to achieve that texture.

Gently tap in the drops of essential oil and combine well. If you get more interested in aromatherapy you can customize your recipe using different essential oils.

Ingredients:
1 cup coarse sea salt
½ cup baby oil

Directions:
Stir the ingredients together in a bowl and put into a screw top jar.

Leave for 24 hours.

Stir the mixture and apply to any areas of the body you wish to exfoliate.

Massage into the skin for a few minutes then shower off.

Pat your skin dry.

Children 'n Us Stroller organizer

I love it! It is a great product and i am so happy i was able to have a chance to use this product.

It has an inside zipper pocket also along with a back pocket and 2 front pockets. Plenty of space to put everything you could imagine that you would need for your little one .. and its so versatile it can be used even in the back of the car if you dont need it for a stroller.
