Review | Frownies Immune Screen Natural Sunscreen

Sun care products have been a big favorite of mine lately. Since the Cherry family resides in Alabama...we still have quite a few hot days (sadly) in our near future. So don't go thinking it is time for me to put away my sunscreen just yet! Frownies (the maker of natural skincare products) has come out with an awesome daily SPF-15 sunscreen for the face, neck, and chest. It's the first thing I reach for in the morning after I cleanse my face. I have found that it makes a great primer that softens the skin while protecting it against the sun's nasty rays. (I have enough freckles already, k-thanks!)
The brownish cream quickly soaks into the skin after application and hides imperfections without looking all nasty/greasy, aka not turning you into "Mirror-face-Mcgee." (Make sure you shake it first though!) The scent is very subtle - I'm sure that most of you will be pleased to know that it doesn't have a ton of perfume in it - and that Frownies doesn't test on animals! Immune Screen's ingredients (Green tea extracts, Organic oat oil, Aloe Vera gel, Melanin, and coconut oil) help stop the signs of aging. (Now, that's what a girl in her late 20s likes to hear folks!) I think the Organic oat oil is where it's scent is coming from. The only thing I don't really like about this product is the packaging. I can't put my finger on what it is - maybe the font? or color scheme? Whatever - these are things that really don't matter in the long haul. It's what's on the inside that really counts. :)

Review | yurbuds Sport Earphones

Something must be in the water. Everybody - and their cousin is somewhere running a 5k nowadays. (Including me) Up until now I have had zero interest in running - now my brain is all...must run! I think everybody is having an quarter life crisis lol. Matt and I have already done one 5k this year. (The Tomato Run 5k @ Earth Fare in Montgomery) We are running "The Color Vibe" 5k in November next. (Heck - Matt is actually running on the treadmill as I type haha) Why am I blabbing about running? Because I have a fancy new set of sport headphones that I want to brag about. ;) That's why.
When I was about 16 I had a pair of green neon jelly headphones that would not fall out of my ears. They wrapped around the back of my ear and I loved them. I have not been able to find anything that would stay put in my ears since that pair broke. (Years and years ago) I'm not sure why but every set of headphones I have ever tried alway fall out...especially while I'm running/jogging. 
I was pretty skeptical when I got this pair in the mail. I just knew that I would be fighting them the entire time I exercised - just like always. (Grumble grumble etc) Well - I was wrong folks! These soft medical grade silicone earphones stayed put the entire time. (No adjusting whatsoever was necessary) These were created specifically to fit smaller (female) ears. (Designed by Annie Karayiannis) Even though I was really fond of my old jelly pair, they still made irritating sores in my ears. These headphones from yurbuds performance fit line are so darn comfortable, it would be virtually impossible for them to create irritation! I will say - that since they are made of silicone, every little thing sticks to them. I spent several minutes trying to get bits of fuzz off them so I could take the photos. (No my ears are not full of fuzz) Who knows where it all came from lol. The sticky-ness is just a minor annoyance that I will totally overlook. :) This particular pair is available in aqua, pink, and purple. They have several neat features, including: twist lock technology, pause/play track control, microphone/smart phone ready), angled flex plug, durable 4 ft cord, allow ambient sounds, sweat and germ resistant, and they have premium sound quality! (Seriously - even Matt was impressed) They are on the pricey side, at least I feel like $60 is a lot of money. In this case - you are getting high end headphones that are worth every penny. If you are suddenly into running...even if nothing is chasing you...then these nifty headphones are for you. Happy running! :)

Review | Bosom Couture's Boob Glue

Yes - you read correctly my friends. Boob glue. I'm going to stamp a big TMI on this post before I get started. So if you don't want to hear a lot of talk about the wonderful world of cleavage...then leave now lol. You have been warned!
All the flat chested people out there really irritate me - I'm so jealous. I adore the lace bralettes that are so popular right now, sadly I'm too "blessed" to wear them. -_o Lately I have been having the hardest time finding a bra that fits. (That doesn't cost over $60 - I'm looking at you Victoria!) I have searched for hours on end! Only to purchase a bra that I think is ok - oh! but it's not...I wear it for a couple hours and I start falling out of it. (Waste of money) Over the top spillage is so annoying! Until now...
I tried my Bosom Couture's Boob Glue as soon as I had it out of the box. (A gentle skin adhesive, formulated by a top chemist, designed specifically for the delicate breast area) Then I ran out of the bathroom and yelled "it's a miracle!" at my husband...he just nodded and laughed. I'm not falling out of my bras anymore! This calls for a choir, enjoy? Here is a page full of before and after "examples."
All I had to do was roll-on this gravity defying adhesive and adjust my bra. (Done!) I put some on before I went to work today and I didn't have to battle my bra once! (I was leaning over a sewing machine for 7 hours) It's just plain amazing and I'm so happy that I have a bottle to call my own. (Perspiration proof) I will probably never be without it again. I do have a few turn-offs that I want to note...and that would be the "glue residue" that it leaves in my bra and the initial not so pleasant scent. It's nothing that the washing machine can't handle. As for the scent...it just smells like a glue stick to me. (It doesn't linger - I just wish it smelled like vanilla or something?) I do think these two concerns were worth mentioning. :) The packaging however, is gorgeous! I have it sitting out on one of my Daher tins in our bathroom. It's just so nice that I had to display it. (No shame here!) 
----------> Here is the FAQ page for Boob Glue <----------
To Apply: With bra on remove one "lady" at a time. Liberally apply Boob Glue to breast avoiding the nipple area. Arrange breast in the desired position in the bra. Press firmly in place for 1 minute. Repeat on opposite side. (Amazing results) I plan on using Boob Glue for everyday support.
