Beard Oil & Leave-In Conditioner by Port City Pomade - Perfect Gift for Him! ORGANIC Beard Oil with All-Natural Ingredients - Perfect for Coarse Beards to Keep Beard Soft and Smooth! (1 ounce) (Health and Beauty)

Pretty nice Beard oil! My husband got to test this out with me, as he tried it and I tested it. His beard before use was sharp and was like straw, not soft at all. I wanted him to try this because he would try to give me a little peck and it wouldn't be very nice as his beard/ facial hair was so rough. We got this and it came in a nice brown glass bottle, with rubber tip dropper included inside already. Shake well as you do with most products, then empty and refill dropper (if you don't empty the first time you won't get the shaken well stuff, you'll get what was already in the dropper). After you refill put onto fingertips, best way it to clench fingers together and put into crease between fingers then tip hand and rub other hand, fingertips and immediately rub into facial hair. Very manly smell, very woodsy, has Tea Tree oil in it. Smells a little strong and very outdoorsy, my husband was not as much a fan of the smell, but it wasn't the worst and he could tolerate it, just not his style. I didn't mind the smell. Left his facial hair very soft, a little goes a long way be careful not to use too much as it will make hair look oily. He used every 3 days or so, and his skin underneath was soft and his hair felt less rough and course. Pretty nice stuff!

OXA Small Canvas Shoulder Bag Messenger Bag ipad Bag Work Bag Business Bag Crossbody Bag Satchel Bag Sling Bag Travel Bag Casual Bag Fanny Bag Purse Bag Daypack Everyday Bag

What a wonderful gab. Professional and so awesome I absolutely love it! Very dark in color, black/blue- ish. Has a dark red/brown OXA tag on the front, feels like leather patch. Durable bag material, very water resistant at the material would allow most water to just slide off.Denim like material is the best way to describe the bag material. Adjustable shoulder crossbody strap, this means it's one strap that crosses over to let bag hang on the opposite side. I like this as this bag is small enough not to strain with only one strap. Open OXA flap on front, has a snap button to release to open. Nice sized front pouch, about as big as a medium size chip bag (Not the tiny single baggies of chips but the step up from that.) Next pouch is a zipper pouch, with a lovely tag to pull for easier unzipping. Big pouch, as big as bag, which bag is 11 inches x 11 inches (about- not exact) Big pouch contains two smaller inside pouches, one open top pouch and one zipper pouch. Inside material in pouches are lovely dark brown, silk-like feel and really pretty to look at. Lovely tag inside big pouch with the Professional looking OXA logo on it. Last pouch is a medium zipper pouch on back. About the same size as the flap snap button pouch on front. Love this brand, second bag I have received from this brand and they are all wonderful! Great professional products, awesome for any age, unisex can be used as a purse, bag, backpack, small diaper bag. Many many uses and such a wonderfully made bag!

OXA Canvas Messenger Bag Shoulder Bag Crossbody Bag Satchel Bag Travel Bag Hiking Bag School Bag ipad Bag Fanny Bag Daypack

What a wonderful find! Super happy I got this bag! Love the over the shoulder, small- sized messenger bag idea. I am going to use this one as my purse. It looks so professional and is perfect for anyone. Strap looks and feels super durable. It is a thicker strap, 1.5 inches about. 1 inch handle on top of bag, strap material on bottom, leather- like tan-brown color on top. Very nice to have two ways to carry. Back of bag has a lovely zipper pouch, pretty big in size, dark brown inside, which looks very nice. Nice soft feel, like cotton, like a thicker cotton button up shirt feel. Has another bigger zipper opening one back from the back pouch. Has a nice deep, bag size pouch. Whole bag is a little over 11 inches (holding bag the way it goes, measuring horizontal measurement. About the same the long way, 11 inches and about a half. Very square like, I love this as it makes it more compact and not bulky. Has two nice thin open top side pouches, perfect to store pens, pencils, lip gloss, or other small thin items, could maybe get a taller granola bar in there, not the wide kind. Front has a nice deep, small zipper pouch. Pretty deceiving on how big it actually is. I can stick my hand and half way up my lower arm inside this small opening pouch, it expands past the zipper opening is what I mean. Un-velcro and flip up the Oxa logo flap. and it reveals another big zipper pouch, inside is has a nice pouch organizer and a hole that you can stick headphone cables out. Has a nice little metal loop inside as well that I thought would make a handy ring to keep your keys, USB sticks (if they have a loop of their own to attach to loop inside bag) or other things you could find that would hook onto it. Close flap and behind that is the last big zipper opening for another larger pouch. Inside this pouch Contains a lovely small mesh pouch on the inner side facing the front of the bag and a non mesh pouch on the other side facing the back of the bag.This pouch contains the pretty, professional, and awesome looking OXA logo tag. 9 pouches and an organizer, what a marvelous bag!

Such a wonderfully written novel! Thrilled to be able to read it. I couldn't put the book down, and read it in nine days! Josephine is the main character, she is well described and you really become compelled to read more about her story. She is an 84 year old woman who looks like she is thirty due to her magical power. It describes a world of magic that make it so enticing to read more. Josephine is older but she is a grandma on a mission! Love her quirks and antics, she made me laugh a lot! I really love this book! Perfect for the lovers of the magic realm, those who like Wizards, and murder mystery. Super well written, was not hard to read for me, I have a Grade 13 reading level, so many books are pretty easy for me to understand and read. I have always been interested in books that are easy font to read, as I like to read at night and my eyes get sleepy, so if the font is too little I can't read it. This book is NOT like that, font is easy to read and is double spaced, which makes it wonderful to slide a bookmark underneath the sentence your on to keep track better. There is magical violence, and even death, which is something to consider. Great book for teens, I can see this age group loving this book a lot! I can't wait to read the next book in the series, I really enjoyed this book! Old sexual content is a part with someone naked, just another thing to consider.

Instant Read Thermometer, AiSpeed Digital Kitchen Meat Thermometer Probe With LCD Screen For Professional Cooking, Outdoors Bbq, Chef Grill, Oven meat etc-ETDH1 Black

Neat, easy storing, handy, digital thermometer. Has a handy meat guide on device for fast and easy reference to meat temperatures. Has beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, and fish all next to the nice digital screen. Pull up on the thermometer prong (which takes a little to open, I had a hard time with this as you have to get your nail and give a pretty good pull, you feel like your going to break it but that's how it opens, after it springs by itself pretty good. Make sure it's open and you have put a AAA battery (not included) inside and push the red on/off button. Stick onto desired meat and allow for temperature to rise and slow down, when it starts creeping (and I mean really creeping (like going up one degree every 2 seconds) up just push the hold button and read. Easy to read numbers, pretty decently large font for displaying numbers that is. Can be Celsius or Fahrenheit (which is what I like) Mine started on Celsius and I want to say switching was a little rough, I switched the tiny, hard to reach button with a rounded staple, which a pen might work fine too, but I used a staple that I bent the end round. I had to go back and forth and finally with pushing the button that tells device prong is down it switched. Reads very accurately and with minor issues is a pretty awesome product! Reads really fast and that makes for faster cooking!

First Botany Cosmeceuticals Epidermal Repairing Cream with EGF Cytokinol for Skin, 1.7 oz (Misc.)

My only issue was my lid was unscrewed and product leaked out and dried to the container. Has a pull off top and a press down center hole dispenser. I like these neat containers, very different from the usual, push down nozzle. Gives a decent amount. Smells like a creme does with a little spice to it, very creme consistency, thick and white in color. A bit greasy when applied, I applied on some scars as I wanted this to help with those. After about a week this product faded my scars, a little, and that was some nice improvement to see, as scar removal usually takes a while. My skin feel more full and a lot softer where I applied. My skin looked pretty nice after. No irritations or reactions after application. Apply a small amount on clean, dry skin. Works best if skin is clean because your oil plus oil from product equals greasy. I only use on my scars and where I need it.

Love the pump bottle this product comes in. Super fancy and elegant looking. Slender and tall, cylinder shape. Pull up top. Push down pump to get product out. Wash face, neck and decollete areas and dry. Put toner on before this product if you are going to. Then push pump and allow product to go onto fingertips and allow a small amount onto fingertips. Consistency is like a gel with a fast absorption. Not much for smell, like unfragranted gel. Easy to apply, spread really nice, a little goes a long way. I had to do two pumps for all my face and neck, but that was only two pea sized amounts. I applied and it made my skin feel so soft. It helped make my skin look a whole lot better, more even in tone, and more even terrain on my face. After a week it was pretty awesome to see how nice my skin felt and looked.

HSI Professional Hydrating Smoothing Anti-Frizz Hair Mask for all Hair Types, 8 Ounce (Health and Beauty)

I don't use everyday but I use twice a week, to help keep my hair smoothing and beautiful. There is a few ways to apply, you can do like the directions, and apply after you shower, and squeezed excess water out, then let set for five minutes and rinse. Or you can apply to dry hair. When I applied wet, it was a little greasy to apply. I let set for 15 minutes and used my hair dryer to heat it like it says you can do. After I rinsed out and my hair was really straight. I usually have pretty straight hair but this helped take the fly away hair, and make them stay down like I wanted. My hair was really shiny. I tried to use the next day but my hair started getting too greasy. So I do once to twice a week, and that helps keep my hair from elements and help keep it in place instead of fly. My hair felt so soft and was easy to brush after. Made in the USA. Has Argan Oil in it. Works for all hair types. Mine is normal, I have straight, long, color treated hair, and this was just fine.

Increase Self Confidence Hypnosis CD - Boost Your Confidence to Improve Every Aspect of Your Life from Your Career to Your Romantic Interests. For men and women to eradicate self doubt and build self esteem (Audio CD)

This is my second Hypnosis CD, that I have received and loved! I love his approach and his voice! His voice really gets into your head and helps get his messages across exactly as they should. I am not saying this CD will work for everyone but the only way to know is to try. It worked for me with two separate CDs from Mark Bowden. I love the three selection disc you receive. First track is a lovely introduction that is really good to listen to at least the first time you get a cd, even if it is not your first product from him. It makes it a little more personable, and helps get you a little familiar and helps set the mood. The second track is the day time session, and that is the one I first listened to, I usually lay down for a half hour, but this time I listened while washing some dishes, even still, with his voice and headphones on a good volume to hear clearly, it worked great! He tells you to relax, which is one thing I want to do next time, and allow your mind to be open. He helps set the mood for the hypnosis. He tells you a little of things said that can make your confidence become lower, which let's face it we all do it. We are all our own worst enemies. He tells a really great story about a magic mirror and it was so easy to listen to, the story kept me really in tune with his story. He really works to make me feel better after listening. The day and night are the same except the endings are made for the different routines. Day ends with a wake up routine. Night ends with a wonderful fall asleep right away. My husband always falls asleep with the head phones on when he listens. I love these CDs of Mark Bowden, he is really a great person to listen to and works so well with me. Track sessions are about 30 minutes each, which is a perfect time for those who can't find the time for any other options to get help. 30 minutes to relax and listen to someone who actually wants you to feel better.
