Macvoil Essential Hair Oils Review & Giveaway

June 14, 2012 By Debra Pearlstein 89 Comments

I love having long thick hair; what I don’t like are the tangles! Luckily, I am getting my hair trimmed very soon, but, meanwhile, I have been struggling with it. So, when I got a chance to try Macvoil’s Essential Oils Leave-on Conditioner & High Gloss Shine Spray a few weeks ago, it couldn’t have come at a better time.
There are three products in this particular collection though Macvoil makes many other wonderful hair products as well.
They include: Macadamia Conditioner, Moroccan Re-Conditioner and Leave-on Conditioner & High Gloss Shine Spray

For me, this leave in conditioning spray was very light and natural with a soft fresh scent. It immediately helped de-tangle and soften my hair, smoothing out any dryness or frizz. My hair felt light and clean, not like it had “product” in it or weighed down. It’s also very healthy for your hair with no parabens, and no harsh chemicals and preservatives. I also felt it helped bring out the highlights, especially in the sunlight.
Macvoil’s line of virgin essential oil products produce beautiful results for your hair, and Macvoil oil can also be used on the skin, scalp, nails and cuticles, providing a holistic treatment to keep skin young and glowing.  Macvoil brings together oils from the Argan tree, Cypress and Macadamia nut for a triple infusion of repair and protection. Macvoil uses these eco-friendly botanical ingredients and combines them through nano-technology to create products that are healthy, safe and natural.
I love Argan Oil.  
Argan tree essential oils repair damaged hair and protect it from further harm from UVA and UVB rays, along with protection from an array of environmental pollutants that can age hair prematurely. This is an ideal solution for regular or color-treated hair, protecting your tresses. The essential oils penetrate deep into hair fibers, all the way to the follicle where growth begins. The oils are locked into the hair, providing vitamins and ongoing protection against damage. Each individual strand of hair is strengthened and nourished.
In addition, I love that  Macvoil has a commitment to green technology in conjunction with its eco-friendly philosophy. No animals are ever used for testing and the recyclable bottles are themselves made of recycled plastic. Good for your hair, good for the planet.
I love the sleek look it gives me and it’s the kind of high-quality product that makes me want to touch my hair now and then just because it feels so silky soft.
Would you like to try Macvoil’s Leave-on Conditioner & High Gloss Shine Spray with Argan, Cypress and Macadamia Oils?
They’ve generously offered one of my readers the chance to win one. Just enter the Rafflecopter below. Good luck!

Voda Swimwear Helps you Shape up for Summer!

June 13, 2012 By Debra Pearlstein 24 Comments

One of the concerns my friends and I have when Summer approaches is finding the
right swimsuit.
As I get older, I am more careful about finding just the right few that really are flattering.

I was extremely happy to find Voda Swim. Voda Swim’s patent pending Envy Push Up® bikini top is carefully designed to create natural looking cleavage. It helps make breasts look up to two cup sizes larger and best of all there is no stiff padding and no underwire.

And, if you don’t need extra help with sizing, well, from experience, I can tell you that they also help shape breasts by providing lift and support. It looks wonderful on! Finally a suit made with a woman’s shape truly in mind.

I received this Pushup Tankini to try and I love it. It will definitely be one of my summer favorites. This is the Violet Shimmer Envy Push Up® Tankini Top with the Violet Shimmer Adjustable Scoop Bottom. I love purple but it also comes in other gorgeous colors and prints. It has great coverage but it’s also sexy! I like wearing the top with a sarong. Then it’s perfect for a summer barbeque too.

I tried it out at a friend’s pool and found that this material does not absorb much water so it keeps its fit. I hate when swimsuits lose their shape after getting wet. It’s also great for playing volleyball and staying active. It’s extremely comfortable.

You can shop by style, by color, by top or bottom size, by bottom coverage and by bottom cut. They have pushup bikinis, monokinis and tankinis in so many gorgeous colors.

Voda Swim is a great company. In fact, they are so awesome, they’ve generously offered one of my readers their choice of swimsuit – and they have some incredible choices as you can see on their website.

So, please come back to Strange Daze Indeed for the Summer Solstice Blog Hop starting June 18 for your chance to win one! Until then, you can online window shop! They even have free worldwide shipping. Voda Swim has also offered my readers a 10% Discount Code at their site!

Just use the code: Strange !

Win an EatSmart Precision GetFit Digital Body Fat Scale – Father’s Day!

June 11, 2012 By Debra Pearlstein 129 Comments

Welcome to our Rockin’ Giveaway Hop
sponsored by Planet Weidknecht
and Going Crazy!! Wanna Go??!!
where you can win your Daddy-O
a fabulous Father’s Day Gift!
After you enter to win my fabulous prize,
be sure to hop around to the other participating blogs
and enter to win their prizes too!

My giveaway is for the fantastic EatSmart Precision GetFit Digital Body Fat Scale w/ 400 lb. Capacity & Auto Recognition 
Technology!

  

For the Dad or man in your life who is committed to caring for his health and loves cutting edge technology, this is an amazing scale to help analyze and monitor body composition.

 

Using EatSmart’s new ITO BIA technology, this scale can quickly and easily measure weight, body fat, body water, body muscle and bone mass.

 

BIA (Bio-Electrical Impedance Analysis) technology allows you to easily calculate your body fitness by inputting gender, height, age, and your activity level.  With bare feet, this technology sends a low-level electrical signal though your body fat and then measures the resistance the signal encounters. This signal is perfectly safe and will not be felt (those with pacemakers should not use this).

 


The Precision GetFit Scale stores up to 8 different users’ personal profiles and will be able to recognize these users as soon as they step onto the scale. The Precision GetFit uses “Step-On” technology which means no more tapping to turn on your scale. It measures up to 400lbs and will display an accurate readout to the nearest .2 lbs on the oversized 3.5″ blue LCD display with white backlight. Its sleek design and slim profile fits perfectly into any surroundings and the touch screen interface makes it one of the most user friendly bathroom scales on the market today. 

 

 You will also get a detailed instruction manual and 4 AAA batteries along with the 100% EatSmart Guaranteed Product Satisfaction. They really have awesome customer service.

 

I really want to emphasize what a sleek thin cool looking scale this is. It would fit with any decor and blend in seamlessly. You can, of course, use it as a regular scale as well. It’s very easy to read the display and the booklet explains all the different modes and what they measure. It’s simple to set up. 

 

I think this is a fabulous tool for those trying to lose weight, gain weight, or maintain a healthy weight. I love the different measurements and find them very motivating. Feeling bloated? Just check out the percentage of body water and monitor it for a few days. Perhaps that is adding to your weight gain. 

 

 It is precise and weighs in .2 lb. increments so you can celebrate victories no matter how small! So far, I’ve tested this against my doctor’s scale and found it to be amazingly accurate. It is honestly one of the best scales I’ve ever owned and even my sister and brother-in-law come over to check their stats.


The scale weighs in at a light 4.5 pounds and can hold up to 400 pounds. Look how sleek this is.
Want to get serious about your fitness and weight goals? Want to have precision accuracy and motivation? Want a scale that looks as good as it works? I would highly recommend the EatSmart Precision GetFit Digital Body Fat Scale. I also think this makes an awesome Father’s Day Gift. And, it’s on sale right now for a great price at Amazon!
I also want to add something that I love about EatSmart! EatSmart fans will select each Charity of the Month in 2012. Fans will submit short stories about the charity’s mission and why it’s meaningful to them. I think this is very very thoughtful and compassionate. I love companies that give back. 
For June 2012, loyal EatSmart Fan, Virginia Higgins selected the National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias. EatSmart will be donating 50 cents for every new Facebook LIKE during the month of June. You may know her from her supercool blog where she is That Bald Chick.
You can read more about this and about this foundation on the EatSmart Blog.  You’ll also find some really interesting information there and delicious recipes!

EatSmart has very generously offered one of my readers the same scale I’ve reviewed here, so please just follow the Rafflecopter. Best of luck!

    My prize is for the Dad who loves tea!
    Now the guy in your life can relax with a good book, the newspaper, or even the ball game and a warm mug of tea. 
    Libre tea makes wonderful BPA free Glass n’ Poly glasses and mugs for tea that you can take with you anywhere. Libre glasses and mugs are for loose leaf teas which have a much smaller eco-footprint than teabags. They also taste wonderful!

    Amazingly, the mug stays cool. Just put your tea in the stainless steel filter, put on the lid and turn it upside down. In minutes, your tea is brewed. Unscrew the filter and Voilà !

    I adore this mug. It looks great and feels great when you’re holding it and drinking from it. I’ve discovered some amazing loose leaf teas as well now that I have the proper mug to drink them with.
    It’s super easy to use, strong and easy to clean and really, doesn’t it look super cool?

    In addition, to keep the guy in your life soft and smooth (yes guys need pampering too!), you will win a wonderful assortment of Udderly Smooth Moisturizers and other products! Your guy can use it for shaving, hydrating, and to keep him incredibly huggable!  I love Udderly Smooth products. They’re non-greasy, absorb quickly and have a nice natural scent!

    Many men keep tubes of Udderly Smooth in the their glove boxes, golf bags, tool boxes and tackle boxes.  Some use it to prevent chafing while running or cycling.  They are often amazingly creative!
    The Vitamin E cream is new and is available exclusively at Wal-Mart on the pharmacy first aid shelves.
    You will get a cool prize pack with:
    Udderly Smooth Shea foot cream. 8 oz
    Udderly Smooth Body Cream, 12 oz
