Review: Tea Tree Essential Oil

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.** 

Every just had one of those weeks when you try to catch up but keep falling further and further behind. Welcome to my year... Can't seem to break my luck so what do I do. I say forget this - let's go try out my latest essential oil from New York Biology. I can't go wrong with that, right?

So I have used tea tree oil quite a bit before, as it may be the only essential oil I am even semi familiar with because I use it for a nice foot soak. My feet are tired. I push them to the limit and you can tell. The shoes I wear - heels, booties, sandals, boots, tennis, flip flops - I am sure you are guilty of it too. Then painting those toe nails constantly, to match our clothes, or just look cute. Fashionable feet is so much better than happy feet. So when I can call it quits on other stuff, I usually give my toes a break and a nice foot soak.

This is where I recommend tea tree oil. When I first researched it, I was looking to help my toe nails to look healthier, and to ensure my battered feet were staying clean. When you research tea tree oil you come to find that it is supposed to have antiseptic, cleaning characteristics. So I put a few drops in my foot soak, a bit of epsom salt, and ta da - an easy, relaxing, aromatic foot soak. Now the product seems to be of quality status - it came in a dark bottle to protect it from UV damage. It has a handy dandy dropper to make sure it is used properly. And to me - the aroma is wonderful. Clean. Strong. Refreshing.

 I hope that you too may find a use for this tea tree oil by New York Biology. I have been privileged to keep up with their products and they do not disappoint!

Review: Essential Oil in Lavender

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**

So I am new to this essential oil thing.  Gave it a shot a few months back... bought two. Tried one.
Well, that is mom-life for ya! At least I tried.

And I am giving it a second shot.  New York Biology offered to let me give their lavender essential oil a try and I was ready and willing.  Mostly because my husband had actually been bugging me for some good smelling stuff to try putting on air filters.  I am sure he read about it somewhere and figured if he bugged me enough I would figure it out.  It was a match made in heaven - he wanted me to buy a new essential oil, and New York Biology wanted to give me an essential oil.  So I put my order in for NYB Lavender Essential Oil.

We received the bottle and of course it came in a dark bottle, which is a good start because you do not want your oils getting affected or broken down because of sunlight.  Opened that sucker up and... ahhh... a pleasant scent so far.  Honestly, I don't think my husband was a fan at the beginning.  I think he is used to commercial aromas for lavender rather than pure oil scents.  I assured him it was fine because I have had experience in a spa once or twice, and this aroma reminded me of those scents you find while relaxing or getting a massage.  We put drops in the filters and let it diffuse around the house.  It was a nice scent to have, relaxing for sure, but definitely takes some time to get used to.

Overall, I am pleased with this product.  I have not used it for anything else besides the aromatic abilities, but I am sure that I can find a few ways to put it to good use besides making my house smell nice. Pinterest - here I come!! When I learn to do more, I will update you!

Review: New York Biology - AntiCellulite Massage Oil

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**

Cellulite.  Ugh. The word makes me sick.  I know I should embrace my body, it has done amazing things.  But really, who wants cellulite?  Not me...  

So #NewYorkBiology offered up some #AntiCellulite oil for a review.  As I mentioned before, I have been quite impressed with what this company offers and I won't pass up an opportunity to see what else they can do.  So my journey against cellulite began...

First off, it is NOT an oil that you simply apply today and poof, cellulite is gone tomorrow.  I am going to be completely upfront about that.  Let's face it, life is not that easy.  And thats okay, because we sometimes need to work to achieve the results we want to see.  

So.... Let me start with what I like about this oil.  First off, it is a softly fragrant oil that I can apply after I get out of the shower.  (By the way, it actually instructs you to use wet skin only so keep it handy for when you get out of the shower or tub.)  I like how it leaves my skin feeling very smooth after the oil is rubbed into the skin. Now this next part is the big part that I believe is making the difference.  Keep in mind this is called a massage oil, keyword "massage".  So you must actually massage it in, rub it thoroughly into the problem areas, not just slather it across quickly and throw your clothes over and run.  When I take the time to really work this into my skin, it feels great.  Now you are probably like - Ain't nobody got time for that!  (Yes you do! And its giving you a few extra minutes to take care of yourself because you deserve it!)  As I mentioned before, the formula is thin, so it actually spreads over very easily, very quickly.  I do not feel greasy afterwards. I do not feel as though I have a coat of oil sitting on my skin.  Because of the massaging application, I believe this is allowing the product to do its job with helping my skin achieve a smoother and more toned appearance. 

I really like what this product is doing and I would recommend this to give your skin some special attention. I have been using it in the thigh and cheeky area of my bum and I am pleased with results so far.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised how it will make those problems areas look and feel.

So give it shot... see what this product can do for you.  Never hurts to do a little something extra to make yourself feel great!

Review: New York Biology - Acne Scar Cream

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**

I am lucky to have the opportunity to partner with New York Biology from time to time in reviewing their products.  As a wife, mom, and employee, we don't often take time for ourselves, so its the little things that count.... like finding a product that makes us feel great.

Today I am giving you a brief review on New York Biology's Acne Scar Cream.

This product is designed to do a few different things -
1. Be moisturizing and hydrating
2. Be preventative in acne development
3. Help with the improved appearance, or disappearing of scars due to acne.

I have been using it on my face for about a week now for nice rosy pink scarring left on my face because of adulthood acne.  You know, the kind that is a sudden outbreak the day before an important meeting with the boss and adulthood stupidity coerces you to try and pop the darn pimples.

So here we go... I will say I like this product in that it is an easy-to-use product. It comes in a generous sized container where you pump the top and swipe the cream.  I love this design of their containers because it is easy to use, unique, and you don't even need a full pump each time because a good amount of the product is released with even a small push.  It seems that this will last some time for me as I just have a few places to use it.

I think the cream is definitely doing its job in the department of hydrating and moisturizing. My skin feel coated well but not greasy in any way.  And, I have not had any acne developments or outbreaks while using the product.  The cream is rich, thick and smooth to apply and is fragrance free, which is a nice touch.

Sadly, I have not seen the fading of my scars to the point that I can say it works great.  My scar looks the same so far, but maybe I have not given it enough time.  Again, I have only been using it for about a week.

I am going to continue using this cream and watch for possible changes.  As with most products, some reviewers on Amazon have had great success and others not so much, so maybe I just need more time to see the change that I was hoping for with using it.

So if you are looking for an acne scar cream, check this one out and see if it is a match for you!
