Funny Tees from RoadKill T-shirts

I am going to introduce you to a very popular site today. RoadKill T-shirts has hundreds and hundreds of shirts to choose from. Now I know that most of you have seen sites that have funny t-shirts, but honestly, I don’t think I have seen the selection that this site has. You can been in there for hours reading, searching and laughing at their funny sayings. And they add new ones every day which keeps the site fresh.

They have selections in funny tees, womens, political, movies/TV, Holidays, partying and of course, the offensive and politically un-correct… which I need to warn you is offensive! Stay out of there if you are nice. LOL They also have a new line of Beer Tap t-shirts, where the bottle opener is built into the bottom of the shirt. So I guess if you don’t have your beer opener flip flops on, you can use your shirt! LOL

The RoadKill T-shirts site is geared to the younger crowd for the most part so some of the shirts you may say, HUH? LOL It took me a few to get some of the sayings, but with a teen in the house, this is was right up his alley.

The Review:

The super folks at RoadKill T-shirts were kind enough to send me a shirt for review. The one my son selected was “paddle faster I hear banjos”. The shirt arrived super fast. It is very true to size and awesome quality. The silk screenprinting is clean and pure. The shirt itself is heavy and there was minimal shrinkage, if any.

I really like that they are using quality t-shirts with their product. The vast majority of the shirts are Gildan, but at times they may also use a comparable item from Fruit of The Loom, Hanes, Anvil, Bella or Jerzees. Now, they are carrying American Apparel shirts as well. Super quality shirts means that these will last for a long time and not wear out quickly. I like that! There is nothing worse than paying good money for a shirt that twists, shrinks or the silk screening fades quickly.

They have good prices too. There are grab bags available and good prices on quantity purchases. I would definately use this site again to buy my son his funny t-shirts. I think it is a great value and I know the quality is there.

The Giveaway:

This is not a traditional giveaway that we are hosting. RoadKill T-shirts has a giveaway on their facebook page that anyone can enter after they friend them. They will randomly do a giveaway, or they schedule them, you just have to keep checking in. This is an ongoing giveaway with them. I am placing an ending date just for our sake. BUT…. I am throwing in a giveaway just coz I love you guys…..

L’uvalla Certified Organic Skin Care Products

L’uvalla Certified Organic Skin Care Products

L'uvalla Certified Organic Skin Care ProductsMy face feels awesome! Why? I got to try the most amazing products this past week from a company called L’uvalla. This company creates the ultimate luxury natural and organic skin care line for people who care about the quality and purity of the products they use. L’uvalla is made with 100% natural, organic ingredients and bears the highly respected European COSMEBIO certification.

L’uvalla was discovered and developed by the innovative wellness company, Yuvalla, which searches the world for the very best in holistic health and wellness for body, mind and spirit. Yuvalla conducted an exhaustive global search for an uncompromising, high-performance organic skin care line. There wasn’t a formula that came close to meeting the standards Yuvalla had set for quality and organic purity—until the company discovered an obscure skincare line in the south of France.

The effect of the newly-discovered product was phenomenal; it made the surface of the skin look and feel amazing. Skin seemed to drink in the natural organic ingredients, and the pure essential oils created an unforgettable aromatherapy experience.

In addition to its exceptional effectiveness, the ecologically-friendly skin care products were certified organic by the strictest standards in the industry, and were created with absolute sustainability from seed to shelf. It was 100% healthy and natural for people and the planet.

The ReviewThe folks at L’uvalla were so kind to send me a bottle of Orange Toner 6.7 oz and a tube of Hydrating Milk Cleanser 7 oz, both age defying formulas. Also included were several packets of samples of their other products like Lip and Eye Cream, Age Defying Day/Night Cream, Balancing Day/Night Cream and Sunscreen.

I started off using the Milk Cleanser. It was thick and cleaned very nicely. A little went a long way! It felt so wonderful on my skin. I could feel my skin just soaking up the hydration. I rinsed and then used the Orange Toner. That was very light and refreshing and had a very light scent. It was very nice. I moved on to my next step, the Anti Wrinkle Eye and Lip Cream. Oh gosh, this was nice! Thick and creamy, just like I like my facial creams to be. It went right to work on my wrinkles and in a second they were plumped up and gone! My skin was happy but it was about to get happier.

My last step was the Age Defying Day/Night Cream. I put this everywhere else and included my neck. It was thick and rich and so smooth going on! My skin just glowed, literally! I kept touching my face and it felt so awesome! I loved what it did to my face so much that I went without makeup all weekend so all of the creams could soak in as much as they wanted. This product line is the Bomb! Even tonight as I write this 15 hours after applying it, my face is still super soft and hardly any wrinkles are showing. I only have 2 little packets of the Day/Night Cream, so thank goodness a little goes a long way, but I have to have this product! My skin loves it!

L’uvalla has a 3-Step System that you can get. It is a Cleanser, a Toner and a Moisturizer for NORMAL/COMBO/OILY SKIN TYPES. Here is how it works and some info on the product.

“This simple 3-step system hydrates, balances, nourishes and protects normal, combination or oily skin. Cleanse, tone and moisturize to get fresh, amazing, silky-smooth skin from the purest natural plant extracts.

STEP 1: CLEANSE – Gentle Foaming Cleanser is a light, frothy cleanser that thoroughly removes daily toxins, impurities, and makeup without irritating your eyes. Potent ingredients, such as Bilberry and Lotus Flower, contain flavonoids that have antioxidant properties more powerful than vitamin C in fighting free radicals, the number one cause of aging skin. This deep-cleansing formula leaves your skin feeling abundantly hydrated and squeaky clean.

STEP 2: TONE – Rejuvenating Eucalyptus Toner effectively clears away congestion in your skin reducing pore size without the damaging effects of alcohol. Formulated with organic plant extracts, including Eucalyptus and Sage, this toner invigorates and protects your skin while helping to eliminate and minimize breakouts.

STEP 3: MOISTURIZE – Balancing Day/Night Cream is a light moisturizer that utilizes the antiseptic and astringent properties of Thyme, Clove Flower and Cinnamon Bark to purify your skin and clear congestion. The powerful anti-aging properties of Argan Oil, which has twice the vitamin E of olive oil, reduces fine lines and wrinkles while boosting your skin’s natural collagen production. This cream uses Palm Kernel Oil to provide hydration and leave your skin feeling silky-smooth with a matte finish.”
