Poppy Austin Eye Cream Review


Poppy Austin Eye Cream

 This eye cream has been specifically formulated to target dark, puffy bags around the eyes, so when I had the opportunity to try this cream, I was excited, since I do have puffy dark circles under my eyes...I really like this cream, I can see that my under eye area looks so much better, but I actually use this cream all over my face. When I read in description that it can be used on entire face I gave it a try and I love it! "Not only is it the fastest working and most targeted eye cream for dark circles, eye wrinkles and puffiness, it is also an extremely effective anti-aging treatment for your entire face."
It feels very light on my skin and it moisturises and it absorbs super quick at the same time.
A gentle infusion of naturally derived ingredients including organic Aloe, organic Jojoba Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Rosehip Oil, Green Tea, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Tamanu Oil. Plus Poppy Austin strongly opposes all forms of animal testing. This product is naturally free from silicones, parabens, additives, fillers and alcohol.


For this is not only a good under eye cream, it's a great moisturiser as well. It does not have any smell, and it's great to wear under makeup. So I am super happy I had the chance to try this product.

GrillFella BBQ Wok (Coppper) Review


GrillFella BBQ Wok

Vegetable Grilling Basket with a Twist: A Divider!
The GrillFela BBQ Wok series are the only BBQ Vegetable baskets on the market with the unique Divider feature allowing you to split the space to grill multiple different foods simultaneously... to cook more quickly and evenly... Zucchini, eggplant and onions on one side,  diced lamb on the other! 


I was super excited to get this grilling wok! You can cook multiple things and your food does not have to touch each other: veggies on one side meat on the other. Plus I found it useful to cook potatoes on the grill: I like to slice potatoes and put in foil with butter and seasonings and put it on the grill, it's usually a big hassle to take them off the grill, but if you set your foil with tatoes in this wok it's super easy to get the same yummy potatoes and no hassle!

BFFS for Life

BFFS for Life

My best friend Polina and I met when we were 17...yup first year of our University life... 
We became friends instantly, but we did have our ups and downs: we had a fight and I think we did not talk to each other for the whole summer...but in the end we thought it was a crazy and we just started to talk and forgot all about that misunderstanding...and since we can fight sometimes but we never stop talking, we are a family!
My family is far away in Russia, but my BFF from college years ended up in the same little town in South Carolina, so I guess it was meant to be for us to help each other, for me to be her maid of honor, for our kids that are only 4 months apart to be best buds!
Thought I recently moved 3 hours away and now we can not see each other as often but we are still and forever BFFS!


Thank you for being my friend!

Kitchen Mastery Silicone Grill Gloves Review


Kitchen Mastery Silicone Grill Gloves 


We all use the oven almost every day whether it is for a weekend special breakfasts or our simple everyday dinner. And when using an oven one thing that we all need are oven mitts or potholders. Most of us use the traditional fabric oven mitts: they tend to get dirty very quickly and are easier to catch fire on, especially if you are using it during BBQ-ing. Well, this silicone Grill Gloves are perfect and not just for grilling, I actually use mine as oven mitt and even as potholders. Never burned my hand and these are so easy to clean!!! It's a win win! 




CUSTOM NON SLIP DESIGN makes them THE BEST CHOICE for HANDLING HOT ITEMS of the oven, grill, microwave or even fireplace. And  the design is just cute: little hearts all over your gloves. They do look kinda bulky but it's actually very easy to maneuver in these and these feet both me and my husband, so it's safe to say one size fits all. Very handy gloves to have in any kitchen.

I am pleased with this cooking thermometer! Super easy to use and yeah I did not even read the instructions...lol This digital thermometer has an adjustable screen that can lay flat or can be pulled up almost to a 90 degree angle. It has strong magnets on the back so you can stick it to your refrigerator, that is super neat. I find that is a good place to store it when not in use. It runs on a single AAA battery that is included.
It already has everything programmed inside of this unit. You tell it what type of meat and how you want it cooked and it will tell you what temperature to to cook it to.

Indian Healing Clay Powder



Excellent for Face Skin Care, Deep Skin Pore Cleansing, Detoxifying And Revitalization. Works on Oily and sensitive skin as well. Clay makes a fabulous facial mask, for shrinking pores, tightening and toning skin, removing impurities, and just making your skin look and feel great.


I was super excited to try this clay masks, I really get to go to spa and have a facial and this is a spa facial at home. It helps to sooth and heal including cuts, bruises, insect bites, which is great because I leave in the South and mosquitos here are really bad in the summer.


 This clay mask is awesome, it does not look pretty while you have it on, my husband said it looked like I fell in puddle of green mud...lol...but what oh...how amazing my skin felt after this facial! It tightens your skin and feels tingly, but good tingly. After this mask my skin feels so soft and clean. It deep cleanse the pores and detoxify! I love this "spa at home".
