The only downfall with a Samsung Galaxy s6..

  I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy s6. I absolutely love every thing about it. Well...ALMOST every thing. Thee only down side that I've fallen into is the battery usage. I will literally take my phone off of the charger and it will be 100% charged. I will open up my music app and jam out to some music and send a few text messages here and there. All of a sudden I take a quick glance at my phone and realize crap my battery is already down to 64% battery!!!!? From what I remember only like an hour has gone by. How it happens..I am still in the unknown about that issue. But, what I do know is that on days that I am super busy looking for a place to get my cell phone charged up isn't what I want to be doing. At all. 

I love my phone WAY too much to even think about getting rid of it. It's not even in my mind thought at all. So what can I do to try to change my ONE negative about my awesome Samsung Galaxy s6?? 

Get an extended battery case, of course!








1byone 4,000 mAh Extended Battery Case for Samsung Galaxy s6

I have never used an Extended Battery Case before so this was all new to me. Once I received my product it was very simple to put together. The case is only 2 pieces. A front and a back piece. It also came with a USB cord to charge it.



This is a picture of the back part of the case. In the middle on the bottom of the case is a part that connects to your phone. It connects to where you would normally charge your phone at. That is how your phone will be able to pick up a charge from the battery case.



This is a picture of the back of the case. On the bottom corner you can see a small power button. Once your phone battery begins to wither down..you can just press the power button and it instantly begins to charge!! 



This is what the Samsung Galaxy s6 looks like with this lovely extended battery case on. :)


I love how it is very very very simple and convenient to use.
 If I am out and about and my phone battery starts to die I can just quickly press the power button in and throw my phone back into my purse. 

I personally have 2 negatives with this cell phone case.

1. It makes my phone feel a lot heavier and bulkier. But then again, what can someone expect when the case has another charger connected to it?? I guess it is just something I will have to get used to.

 2. My phone doesn't feel very protected. I feel like if I were to drop my phone..some kind of damage would be done. I am not sure if the case would just break or if something would happen to my phone?

Just like anything else in this world there are negative and positives about every thing. 

I would recommend this product to anyone that lives a busy lifestyle and doesn't have time to always be stopping to charge their phone. I promise it makes a huge difference to have an Extended Battery Case because it will make your life easier. 

Do you want to join the bandwagon and try out an extended battery case too??

Want to get in good shape before the summer begins??




I have just began trying to live a happier healthier lifestyle the last few months and I am totally new to working out. Before the last few months started, I will admit, I always chose the path that wasn't the healthiest. Because of that reason it has taken a toll on my mind and body. I am sick and tired of feeling insecure about my body..so I decided to do what most people do. WORK OUT!! At first, it took me a little bit to find which kind of work out was made for me. I am glad to say that it didn't take me too long to figure out that I love Pilates, Yoga, and Piit. 


Whenever I first came across the opportunity to review a Pilates Ring by Fitness a2z I had zero knowledge about using one. I didn't know if it was going to be easy or hard to use. I didn't know how to even begin using it. I didn't know if it was popular or not. I didn't know anything about it. I am SO glad that I jumped on the chance to review this product though because it has made my pilates workouts so much more intense!! 


Fitness a2z Pilates Ring




Benefits of using Pilates Ring:

Tones up your whole body! 
You can literally use the Pilates Ring for your upper body, lower body, and core. If you have a specific area you want to tone up then the Pilates Ring is for you!

Makes your muscles stronger. Pilates alone can make your muscles stronger..add some extra resistance to Pilates and it will take you to a whole new level!

Spices up your workouts!! If you like to push yourself while working out then using a Pilates Ring will definitely help you achieve that goal!

You are less likely to injure yourself when using the Pilates Ring VS Lifting weights. 

Its easy and convenient for people on the go!! It easily fits into a bag and is extremely light.





2 quick ways to use the Pilates Ring:

Stand up straight with your heels together. Squeeze your inner thighs and make sure you are really initiating your core. Hold the Fitness a2z Pilates Ring right in front of your chest (don't forget to hold it with both hands!) Your hands need to be flat with your finger tips pointing away from your body and your elbows bent slightly.  Proceed to press the ring in 10 times and then hold it in for 10 seconds. Keep doing this every time you move the ring up until it is over top of your head and then do it moving it down to the front of your chest again. You can continue doing this until you literally can't take anymore!


Lie down on your side (left or right side once done with that side you will do your other side). Rest on your elbow. Place the ring between your ankles and stretch your legs out away from you with your toes pointed. (Your hips should be stacked vertically.) Lift your top arm straight up and lift your ribs up from the floor. Inhale and when you exhale squeeze the ring as hard as you can. Inhale and release the ring. Repeat this process 10-15 times and then switch over to the other side!


My Review




When I first opened my Fitness a2z Pilates ring box I was a little surprised that it was just a ring with 2 soft cushion pads on each side. I thought really?? How is this even going to help me out? (Yes, I was being 100% negative.) I then began to play around with it. I first stuck my arms out and put my hands over the pads. I then began to squeeze in and out..making the ring go in a little bit and then go back out. I did this only for a short period of time when all of a sudden my arms began to burn. I could tell that this Pilates Ring was going to actually be on a much harder level then I originally thought. 

The last few weeks I have been using the Pilates Ring 3 days a week. (I actually found some pretty good Pilates Ring videos on YouTube.) Let me just inform all of you that using this Pilates Ring is no joke!! I use it for an all over body workout and it is only 30 minutes long, but it gets pretty hard! By the time I am 15 minutes in I am normally screaming from the burn! (Yes, letting small screams of torture out here and there does help me feel better about the burn and it actually pushes me to go further.) 

I absolutely love Fitness a2z Pilates Ring. After I am done exercising with it I can just feel my muscles getting tighter and stronger. I have noticed my thighs have gone down a bit since I started using this awesome Pilates Ring. I will have to say that I either do Piit, Yoga, and Pilates (with my ring) 6 days out of the week. Therefore, my thighs might have slimmed down from doing all 3 of these exercise routes. But, I am thinking it is from the Pilates Ring. If you use a Pilates Ring or have used one... you can understand why I would think my thighs thinning down is from the Pilates Ring. 

I would most definitely recommend this product to any one that is new to working out, that is new to Pilates, that has been doing Pilates for a long time. I promise, once you start using Fitness a2z Pilates Ring you will feel the burn and you will not be disappointed!! 

Fitness a2z Pilates Ring also comes with an exercise band. I have never used exercise bands before so that was a cool little surprise to try out. I found a few videos online that show you ways you can use exercise bands. Ways that I honestly would have never thought of! I have been enjoying finding ways to incorporate the exercise band into my exercise routine. 

 You can purchase this product at Amazon.
This product normally goes for $25.00
BUT its currently on sale for $19.87 and they are Prime friendly!!!

My Review

I absolutely love this product!! It is super easy to apply and to use. Every evening when I wash my face I apply 1-2 pumps onto my face and neck. I personally do not apply any other products on my face after I apply this product, but you can apply moisturizer and  an eye product if you want to. I don't see any need to apply any moisturizer after I put the Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum on because it, alone, leaves my skin feeling extremely moisturized! 

This serum has an orange scent to it. Its definitely not too over bearing. I don't like strong scents of orange, but this scent is perfect. After applying this product I actually begin to feel very calm and relaxed. 

The texture of this serum is very thin. Once applied to my skin it doesn't feel like its clogging my pores because its very "thin". It absorbs very fast into my skin and I am not left feeling like my skin feels sticky or anything bad like that. 

I have only been using this product for a few weeks now and have noticed a slight change in my skin tone. It is all starting to become ONE color now instead of a whole different array of colors. Also, my skin just appears brighter. I feel like I am walking around with that beautiful "pregnant glow" with out being pregnant. I also LOVE how well this product moisturizes my skin. I would highly recommend this Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum to anyone that looking for a mini upgrade to their skin. I am very pleased with this product!!

You can find this product on Amazon 
Cost: $35.00

I feel, You feel, We all feel...





I am a firm believer that you need to express yourself or you will literally keep bottling every little thing up and all of a sudden BOOOOOM! You will have a world wide blow out. Those type of blow outs normally don't end too well. People end up saying things that they don't mean, people end relationships that probably didn't even need to be ended, and it can really make people look at you differently afterwards.

I love to express my feelings. Anyone that is really close to me knows this about me. I need to let people know how I feel because I don't like bottling things up and then exploding all over anyone. I've done it and I've seen it happen. I don't personally want to go through that type of thing..ever again. 

Once I saw that I had the chance to review Feelings Magnets..I most definitely jumped on the opportunity! I've never used Feelings Magnets, but I have used happy faces, sad faces, mad faces, confused faces, embarrassed faces, etc for my journal. 




Feeling Magnets 


These awesome Feeling Magnets come with 94 colorful emotion magnets. (Yes, 94 different emotions to choose from!! I didn't even know there was that many emotions to choose from!)

They come in a cute portable tin box. The portable tin box makes it extremely convenient for people on the go! (I personally like all my magnets on my fridge.) 

 It comes with 2 cute magnets that say, "I am feeling..." and "I want to feel...". Using these 2 magnets while describing your emotions really helps open your eyes to the emotions you are dealing with at hand and the emotions you want to be having!!

An awesome guide comes with this Feeling Magnets set. The guide simply helps you get started and will help you understand your emotions better.

You get access to the exclusive Feeling Magnets Member Club!



When to use Feeling Magnets

ANYTIME!!! 

Do you want to understand your emotions better? Then Feeling Magnets are PERFECT for you!! There is 94 different emotions to chose from and it will help broaden your horizons whenever you are dealing with your emotions.

Are you currently feeling 100% stressed out and you aren't positive why? Then quickly get some Feeling Magnets because it will help you break down all of the emotions you are dealing with and you can get to the bottom of it!!

Do you feel like you are constantly feeling sad and you can't seem to shake it? Hurry up and get some Feeling Magnets!! Normally people don't just feel sad for no reason. There is normally other emotions along with the sad emotion. Find out what other emotions your dealing with and get the root of the problem!!

 Did you know that dealing with a negative emotion isn't a death sentence?? You can make beauty out of all negative feelings. Find out how with Feeling Magnets!

Do you want to better yourself as a person?? Use Feeling Magnets..I promise you it will make you stronger as a person because it helps you become more aware of your emotions, who you are, and what you want.

Has your relationship been slipping lately? Feeling Magnets can be very beneficial for your relationship. Sometimes when were in a relationship and it starts to go astray we tend to build up a whole bunch of emotions so when we go to communicate with this person we end up just have a yelling match. You can avoid that. You both can sit down and instead of vomiting out negative words..let each other know what your emotions are. I am not saying that this will help your relationship out the very first time you use this method, but if you continue trying it out and then talking about it with each other it will help you out a lot!

You can literally use Feeling Magnets whenever you want with whatever kind of situation you are going through. They are extremely helpful and there is ZERO negatives about trying them out!


How to use Feeling Magnets

Are a super busy person that's always on the go?? 
You can keep the Feeling Magnets in the cute little tin (it comes in) and use it virtually anywhere. 
At work
In the coffee shop
In the bathroom
At your friends house
At school
While Hiking
After your wicked gym session

On the bus
Anywhere!!!

OR

If you prefer to use the Feeling Magnets on your fridge..you can!! (This is how I use them.)  That way you or your whole family can use them!!



My Review





I am in love with these awesome Feeling Magnets. I have really been trying to embrace a healthier lifestyle this year. I believe to achieve that a person has to work on the inside first before they can work on the outside. 

When I first got these Feeling Magnets I was probably a bit too excited to get them. I did use them with the cute tin box for a bit, but I decided to upgrade them to the kitchen fridge because I have been dealing with a whole bunch of different emotions and I had much more room on the fridge. I also feel like it is better for me because while I make coffee every morning I will do my Feeling Magnets. (If anything changes during the day..I make the appropriate changes asap.) 

I have learned a lot about myself with using these Feeling Magnets. For example, I have noticed that my emotions are a lot more negative when I don't do yoga or exercise for a day. I will point out the obvious, I am a woman and my monthly friend comes to visit me and I can tell when she is about to stop by for a visit because my emotions begin to run wild!!

I also love the fact that I am not the only one in the house hold that have been using these lovely magnets! My step son uses them from time to time. He normally doesn't express his feelings very well, but when he uses these Feeling Magnets it really helps him open up more. (Even when he uses them and then quickly mixes the magnets all up so we can't tell what his current feelings are and the feelings he wants to have..just knowing that he is using them is awesome though!!)

I would highly highly highly highly highly highly highly highly (did I mention highly) recommend this product to one and to all!!! It is perfect to buy for yourself or to even give as a gift!! It is the perfect size to slip into your purse (for even a small purse) or to slip into your back pocket. So its perfect for someone that lives a busy, on the go lifestyle!! It's also perfect for a stay at home mom..or stay at home dad! It is perfect for the whole family! 

Do you want to understand your emotions better?? Then this product is perfect for you!! PLEASE check out their website
