Review: Adovia Exfoliating Body Scrub


Hello lovelies!
Today I will be reviewing Adovia's Exfoliating Body Scrub with Dead Sea Salt and Natural Oils. This body scrub is 11 ounces and retails for $15.95.

This Adovia scrub is made with real dead sea salt, which contains an infusion of 21 essential minerals for proper skin health. 

When I received this product I was really hoping it would help with my keratosis pilaris, red bumps on my arms caused by dead skin clogging my pores. After the first use I could tell a difference in the way my arms look, sadly it's not a cure, and you have to use it every day to keep the bumps away.

My thoughts? 5 Stars!
The last Adovia product I tried I wasn't 100% sold on, but I really did love this one and I've used it everyday since I got it in the mail! I love how soft my skin is after using this product, and it smells SO good! The only bad thing I can say about this scrub is that it makes your shower/tub extremely slippery, so make sure you rinse out your shower/tub before you get in the next time.

I love that Adovia products are 100% Cruelty Free  and are NEVER tested on animals. Adovia also offers a 100%  1-year, no questions asked, money back guarantee when you purchase their products.

I will definitely be repurchasing this scrub, I love the way it makes my skin feel and the results it gives! Adovia also has a facial scrub that I'm really interested in and I think I might order soon.

What do you think about body scrubs? Will you be trying this body scrub?
Do you have any questions about the product? Let me know below!

June Favorites

Hello Lovelies!
I'm sorry I didn't get to post last week, I've been so busy with work I haven't had time to do any posts. I'm going to be busier this week, but since I have today off I'm going to try to get some posts scheduled to go up this week!

When trying to decide what to post today, I realized that I haven't done a favorites post since March, so here's my favorites for June!

Song:
I don't know what it is about this song that I love so much, but it's always been a favorite of mine.

Beauty:
I've been using this eyeliner for about two months now and I'm still in love!

I bought this at the same time as the eyeliner and I love it! At first I was using it on it's own (which is beautiful), but I finally started experimenting with it and it's so easy to create new looks with!

Books:
I'm actually still reading this book, but I'm already halfway through and I just started reading it. So far I'm loving it, and this is definitely my favorite book of the month.

Movies:
I watched this movie a few weeks ago and it was great! I loved the movie so much that I just picked up the book and so far it seems like they didn't stray from the book too much.

What have you been loving this month? Let me know below!

Lori

Links to Love

Hello Lovelies!
I hope you all had a great week, my week was very interesting at work, VERY interesting! I had moments where I wanted to quit and just go home, but I made it through the week and I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of it!

Sadly, I have to work this weekend and next weekend, but I had Yesterday off, so I'm okay with it. Thankfully my schedule for next week is super simple, the week after is insane, so hopefully I can make it out alive!

Anyway, here's this week's Links to Love!

Little White Dresses for Summer

Hello Lovelies!
It's been a while since I last did a fashion post and I really want to get back into it, so today I decided to share with you some dresses I've found recently!

I'm sorry that my pictures are blurry, for some reason my Polyvore hasn't been publishing pictures right, I tried to edit them, but it just wasn't happening.

Also, it wasn't intentional, but somehow all 9 dresses in this post are under $50!

That's it for today, I hope you all enjoyed it!
Which dress is your favorite?
XoXo,
Lori

Top Ten Books On My TBR For Summer 2015

Hello lovelies!
Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly link-up hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's theme: Top 10 Books On My TBR For Summer 2015.
I actually have an ARC of this book and I plan on reading after I finish the book I'm reading right now! From the reviews I've read it looks like it's going to be a good one 
(P.S. It releases on June 30, so go buy it!)

I REALLY want to read this one, I don't have it yet, but I think I'm going to order it later this week!

Normally I'm not interested in classics, but I really want to read this one.

I put this on my TBR a few months ago and forgot about it until a few days ago when I saw a book review on bloglovin'. 

Johanna Lindsey // Stormy Persuasion
I just bought this book and it's sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be read, I LOVE the Malory-Anderson Family series and I'm so excited to read this one!

Suzanne Collins // The Hunger Games
I've watched all the movies and now I really want to read the books. I keep saying I'm going to read them, but books are expensive and I just haven't taken the time to buy them yet.

Katee Robert // The Marriage Contract
I think I'm really going to like this one. I first saw it on Netgalley and requested it as ARC, but they had already filled their quota, but I still want to read it, and so I'm going to order it as soon as I get my new debit card in the mail!

Emma Healey // Elizabeth Is Missing
I've been wanting to read this book for about a year and now that I'm working I can afford to spend a little more on books!

Angelina Jameson // A Lady's Addiction
I used to read historical romance all the time, but here lately I've been leaning towards romantic suspense novels. Recently as I was going through my Bloglovin' feed I noticed a review on this book and it seems like something I would like so I added it to my TBR on GoodReads!

Fred Caldwell // Flying Your Business: Leadership Lessons from the Cockpit
Last week I was on Twitter and I saw someone tweet about this book and it looks like it would be an awesome read.

So that's it for my Summer 2015 TBR list! Tomorrow I have something a little different for you, so don't forget to check back for that!
What's on your TBR this summer? Let me know below!
XoXo,
Lori

I hope you all had a great weekend, I had to work yesterday, but I did get Saturday off. I got to see my chiropractor and I was planning on going to the theater to wat San Andreas, but when we got there it wasn't playing. So instead we came home and watched American Sniper, all I'm gonna say is if you haven't watched it yet, go watch it, it was so good!

This month I've mostly been listening to older music, there's been a few new songs I like, but I didn't like them enough to include them on this playlist!

Book Review: Roxanne Snopek - The Millionaire Daddy Project

Hello lovelies!
Today I will be reviewing 'The Millionaire Daddy Project' by Roxanne Snopek, copy received from Netgalley via Entangled Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

'The Millionaire Daddy Project' is book number five in the Men of the Zodiac series. It is 214 pages long and it took me about four hours to read. It is available at Amazon (Kindle) for $2.99, and Barnes & Noble (NOOKBook) for $2.99.



 Book Stats

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Length: 214 Pages

Publisher: Entangled Publishing

Release Date: May 12, 2015





 Book Synopsis
Sign: Leo
He takes control...and gives all kinds of pleasure.

In the space of about a second, successful restaurateur Dane Bergman has gone from millionaire playboy to daddy. Now he's the sole guardian of a very adorable and willful four-year-old child, and he's counting on his executive assistant, Pamela Atwater, to save his ass. Even if it means bringing her along on a month-long ocean-side retreat...

Pamela Atwater prides herself on being the perfect assistant. Whatever Dane wants or needs, she's there--pretending to ignore Dane's golden charm and drop-dead gorgeousness. On vacation, however, Pamela sees a side of Dane she never imagined. And it's a side that tempts her to cross the line between professional and personal. But is one month enough time to prove to Dane that his perfect assistant might just be his perfect match?

What did I think? 4 Stars

Would I recommend it?
Yes, I would definitely recommend this book, I really enjoyed reading it and would happily read it again. I gave this book 4 stars because there was nothing I disliked about the book, but it also didn't completely wow me.

I like that this book wasn't too explicit, so don't let the synopsis fool you into thinking it is. I would say that this book is a sweet contemporary romance about second chances.

I was hooked from the very beginning, 'The Millionaire Daddy Project' is fast paced and has a very engaging plot. I like that the chemistry between the main characters was there from the beginning, it didn't just magically appear one day.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, the chemistry between the characters was believable, the plot was believable, and I didn't want to put the book down. I've never read anything by Roxanne Snopek, but after reading this book I plan on looking into more of her work and I'll let you know how that goes.

Thank you Entangled Publishing via Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for an honest review!
Will you be buying this book? Let me know below!
XoXo,
Lori
