Catch up for the Blogger part 2.... Simply Aroma Bloc Oil

Here is part two of Catching up with the Blogger.....

The second part of Catching Up with the Blogger is going to feature Simply Aroma I have two great reps contributing two different oils for this blogging.

I apologize for this being delayed so long, I have been extremely busy in blogging projects, and I just now made it to this.

The  great representatives for this contribution are Ashley Mead & Karen Brake. Ashley provided the Relaxation Oil Sample and Karen provided the Bloc Oil Sample.

I am gonna start with the Bloc Oil. So here is a bit about Karen, ( I received this information via Ashley Mead.):

Karen Brake has been a PFC with Simply Aroma since they began! She was approached by the company due to her knowledge and love for essential oils. A brief bio- Karen was approached by Simply Aroma due to her knowledge about essential oils. She is very educated in the aromatherapy benefits of essential oils and has extensive knowledge in regards  to essential oils.

She and her family use the oils for various issues and have had amazing success with Simply Aroma 100% Certified Pure Essential Oils. She absolutely loves being a part of Simply Aroma. I borrowed her bio from her Simply Aroma Page to give you a little more background for her:
"I have been sick for many years with fibromyalgia, and recently, rheumatoid arthritis. My pain level and exhaustion have been extremely high for over 20 years now. I don't know if any of you share any of the same issues, but stress make the situation worse, as does lack of sleep, poor food habits, and toxin build up.

I was looking for a solution for the incredible pain I was in. I prayed hard, and the next day, I was offered a position with Simply Aroma. I saw this as a sign from God to help me, as I really was at my wits end with pain. I couldn't take over the counter medicines as they are contra-indicated with my rheumatoid arthritis meds. I decidedto throw myself into learning all about aromatherapy, and studied hard, because it is important to me , to know what I am selling and why. I believe everyone should believe in their sales products, and should have a good grasp on what they are offering someone. I definitely wouldn't offer a product I would believe in.


While I was waiting for my Simply Aroma supplies to come, I purchased some other makes of oils too. I believed all essential oils would be the same. I am delighted to say that they weren't the same. When my Simply Aroma oils arrived, All my pain disappeared, and quickly too. The Simply Aroma oils also lasted longer. This was great news for me. By the time the oils arrived, I couldn't open my jaw very wide at all. In fact I could only open my jaw wide enough to get a leveled off teaspoon of food in. My jaw would be in so much pain, so I reached for lemongrass oil, frankincense oil, and lavender, to get rid of my pain. Within seconds the PAIN WAS GONE, and I could open my mouth again. With the Simply Aroma oils, I began to rid myself of the pain in my fingers, my hands, my wrists, my ankles,my feet, and my jaw. I began to get movement again and my swelling went down. I began to walk again on my feet. I used frankincense, lemongrass, and lavender on my feet too, on the plantar fasciitis that occurred as a result of the rheumatoid arthritis, and once again, I was pain free within seconds. I told my friend who suffered from the same condition, and she too got the same results. My dog even tore  his ligament in his leg, so I used a very weakened solution of frankincense diluted with lots of olive oil, and from being unable  to walk on his leg, my dog started to use his leg. He didn't know the oils would help him, but they did. I now use the oils for all my family. My husband uses them for his migraines, and I use them for headaches, and do my children too. Simply Aroma essential oils are truly amazing!"

Ashley has let me know Karen's site address is: www.simplyaroma.com/EssentialHealth


I appreciate Karen's contribution to my blog of the Bloc Oil.

Below you will find the pictures I took today of where I put the Bloc Oil(No one said the pictures would be pretty). I have been having trouble with my pinkie toes, after I walk. Pain just radiates. Well I put a drop of Bloc on each to, and have not had any pain come back so far. When I opened it, the smell reminded my of Listerine, but once past the smell, it does work.  :

As I continue the use of the Bloc for this first part I will update this post accordingly, so keep your eyes peeled.

The second day with the block oil, once I got past the listerine smell once again, I used a couple spot on each knee to help them out. You ever workout and feel stiff as a board when you stand up and your knees don't want to play fair with you. Well I had that day today and now , I am not near as stiff and my knees are moving better. 

Here are the pics from today. The two dark spots on each knee is the oil.(I have to admit after walking 3.23 miles in an hour and four minutes yesterday, this was very much welcome, like you will never know.):

Stay tuned for day three's update. I am looking to see how it works on my shoulder next, since that is another pain spot. Till tomorrow folks! Have a great day!

Ebook - The Giant and the Dwarf Review.

 Educational Moment:

Before I continue with my review for this book, I wanted to show you how amazon let's consumers rate products on their site, for those who might not know.

In each of the following pictures you will see what each star rating means. (I am using this title as the example, so focus on the title of The Giant and the Dwarf in the pictures.):

One Star is I hate it

Two Stars is I don't like it

Three Stars is It's Okay

Four Stars is I like it. This is what I rated The Giant and the Dwarf.

Five Stars is I love it

Thank you for indulging me in that brief educational moment, some people may not know about the rating process and I wanted to share it to help educate my readers, so that you might understand the rating better as you read through each of the customer reviews, when you are searching for a product. 

With this book:

Disclosure: I received this as part of an advertorial.


I rated it at the four star rating on amazon. I did like the book and the story line, but I did not care for the illustrations at all. The illustrations look like a 2 year old did them. I was expecting better illustrations with this story. The story is a great lesson for children and adults alike. There are very few books that can touch multiple generations, but this does. If you are looking for a book to sit and read with your kids or grand-kids this could be a possible choice.

Ebook - Kama Sense Marketing Review.

 

Disclosure: I received this as part of an advertorial

This was one of the most unique marketing books I have ever read.  But the way it is based on the Kama Sutra really does make sense. 

As marketers, small business owners, bloggers, etc... We are always having to work some of what is mentioned in the book into our everyday dealings. 

If you need some inspiration, or your business needs a kick in the pants, this would give you a great start, or the kick your need. 

You can find this book through Amazon.com.

E-Book Review : I May not be the tallest but ..... Review

Disclosure: I received this as part of an advertorial

To be honest, I never received the code to purchase the book from the promoter. The date has already passed and nothing.

I can not review something I never received. I was approved for the promotion, but the promoter failed to fill their end, so that I could complete the review.

above you will see what the cover of the e-book looks like.( this picture is from the promotion page.)

If you decide to purchase the book, you can find it on Amazon.

Ebook - The Rainy Day Man Review

Disclosure: I received this as part of an advertorial

I have to say this does live up to a great political mystery. But these days politics is still a mystery right?

But from beginning to end, this book will keep you on the edge and wondering what is going on with each page you turn.

If you are a political junkie or a mystery genre fan, you will enjoy this book 10 fold.

With Halloween days away, this would be a great book to read around that time with a mug of hot cider and a fire or warm house and covered legs with a blanket in a recliner.

Ebook - Lost In The Tsunami Review

Disclosure: I received this as a part of an advertorial

I just got through reading this book this morning. I have to say, this is one of the sweetly written about a life journey of a young lady and her family.

I think that the ones who decide to purchase this book, will definitely enjoy it on all levels. As you journey through the book, you feel like are right there with the young lady Anna, every step of the way.

This book would make a great study for a women's group, or a book review group. Who knows, you may learn something about yourself along the way.

Toner, Serum, and Eye Gel, Oh My!

Disclosure: I received this as part of an advertorial.

This is the personal soap I used to cleanse my face before using all the products

You can see how evenly the soap went over the wash cloth

These products did work well in combination with one another. But left my face so tight feeling. My face finally relaxed while I slept and felt great the next day. As I applied each product, it took a while to dry out. Until it dried out, it was the stickiest stuff on my face ever.

These products could be great to capture moisture in your skin. It did manage to capture some moisture and retain in successfully.

No one said the pictures provided would be pretty, but they are real as can be.  The end result will depend on the length of use and the chemical composition of the individual person's body.

They do work and I enjoyed trying them out .

Ebook - Terry Treetop and the Lost Egg Book Review

 

Disclosure: I received this as part of an advertorial

This is another great book in the Terry Treetop series. I really enjoyed this book, even though it is classified as a children's book. 

This book is about helping find where something goes, or helping a friend find their way home to their way home. 

This is a well illustrated book, but as mentioned their is a great message to be had. 

This book would be a great gift this holiday season for your favorite child or adult.

You can it on amazon at:http://www.amazon.com/kids-books-Adventure-Education-Preschool-ebook/dp/B00DOAHBZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412864893&sr=8-1&keywords=terry+treetop+and+the+lost+egg

Adovia Sulfur Soap does the job!

 Disclosure: I received this as part of an advertorial

I finally got the chance to test this out on my face and feet. I have to say it did pretty good on the biggest problem areas. 

Being made with Sulfur, you would think it would stink to high heaven. I was pleasantly surprised. With all the other ingredients combined in it, it was not nasal offensive, it was a nice scent.

If you have oily skin this is the soap for you. If you have problem areas, this will help with them. The added bonus for me was that it added some moisture back to my skin, which was great and unexpected.
