More and more, people are turning to e-cigarettes as a way to help them quit smoking. These cigarettes allow people to get their nicotine without any of the harmful second-hand smoke that comes from smoking regular cigarettes. The use of e-cigarettes also allows you to slowly cut down the amount of nicotine that you are using, which is a great way to slowly kick the habit for long time smokers. By having a gradual decrease you will not have to deal with things like cravings or withdraw symptoms while you quit. Another big selling point of e-cigarettes is the use of flavoring.
Tasty Puff air freshener at Nirvana420.com is only one of several different brands that are available to help you create your own vapor combinations for your e-cigarettes. These air freshener flavors are offered in a variety of tastes. They range from fruity flavors like blueberry and cherry all the way to exotic tastes like vanilla and chocolate. The use of flavorings can also help to make the transition to less nicotine more palatable. This way, there is a nice flavor on top of the traditional sensation of smoking and it can help you to control your cravings.
Offered in both drops and aerosol spray bottles, a single 1 ounce spray bottle is enough to create quite a bit of vapor. Companies also offer variety packs with multiple flavors so that smokers can try different types of air fresheners and find the flavors that they enjoy the most.

Beauty Stop Online: The One Stop Shop For All Your Beauty Needs!
Being a woman I love trying all kinds of beauty products. I like to add to my beauty collection whenever something new comes out, and it can sure add up quickly in price. If you're like me and always wanting to try new stuff, then you want ways to save. Usually buying stuff online can help you save money, but still ensure you get the latest up to date products at a fraction of the cost.
Beauty Stop Online is my to go place for everything beauty: cosmetics, hair care, nail care, spa and body, and so much more. They even offer products for men, as well as equipment and gift sets. Being able to save some money on my beauty products, helps me purchase more of what I'd love to have. No need to wait for a sale to buy my favorite eye shadow or other products, it's still cheaper online!
I recently received a product for review from Beauty Shop Online: BaByliss PRO Ceramix Xtreme Hair Dryer BAB2000. I was in need of a new hairdryer, as my previous one finally died. Since I dry my hair every time I wash it, I wanted to own a better quality one... the BaByliss Pro is by far the best hairdryer I've owned to date. It's professional quality, light weight, and extremely easy to use.
This baby sure packs a punch when it comes to the hairdryer world. The 2000 watts dryer comes with an AC motor, and was designed for professional hair-care. It features far-infrared heat that gently dries your hair, with 50% faster drying time. With it's ceramic technology, it helps create silky smooth hair, and help control and eliminate frizz. It contains a rubber-like coating on the dryer, which helps you grip it more securely, and helps you reduce any type of strain on my wrists.
Features:
- Generates far-infrared heat, gently drying the hair from the inside out
- Ceramic heat creates smooth, silky hair while eliminating frizz & retaining hair's luster
- Professional long-life AC motor with 2000 watts
- Comfortable rubberized handle
- Instant cold shot button & 6 speed / heat setting combinations
- Removable filter for easy cleaning and narrow barrel for maximum air pressure
- Micro concentrator nozzle included for use in drying small sections of hair
- Appliance leakage circuit interrupter (ALCI) equipped
- 9 foot professional cord with hang ring
- Designed specifically for the professional
- Two year limited manufacturer warranty
I've tried many hairdryers in the past, and this tops them all. It left my hair with extra body, super shiny hair, and eliminated frizz... which is especially important right now due to the summer weather. What used to take me at least ten minutes to dry my hair, now takes less then five. What I also love about this model... is that it's quiet compared to every other hairdryer that I've tried in the past. No more worrying about drying my hair too early in the morning, or late at night!

YoYo Lip Gloss & Justice: Win a Limited Edition Lip Gloss!
I'm a woman who likes to get dressed up from time to time, but still like to be comfortable. I'm famous for leaving my glosses all over, no matter where I go I seem to misplace them. I find glosses in every purse I own, drawers, stashed behind picture frames in the living room, in clothing pockets, and of course in my desk at work. What's the best invention for me? YoYo Lip Gloss! Now I can clip my gloss to myself, so I don't have to worry about dropping it in places and forgetting about it. Just clip it to your favorite purse, your pants, or like myself... your work badge, and you'll never have to search everywhere for your gloss again.
I usually don't wear much make-up... only on my eyes. When I do decide to wear lipstick, lipsticks don’t moisturize and always seem to leave my lips feeling chapped. Their barrier works until it wears or eats off. With YoYo Lip Gloss these problems do not happen. The gloss comes at the end of a 2 1/2 foot retractable cord that clips on to its wearer’s clothes. One application makes lips sparkling and shiny. Real flavors give the glosses their names– cha cha chocolate, kissable kiwi, girl green apple, and big bounce bubblegum. YoYo Gloss is almost a girl’s dessert candy without the guilt or the calories. It’s thick, creamy, and lasts for hours.
I've reviewed YoYo Lip Gloss in the past, and I loved it back then. Recently they came out with a new line of products, which they partnered with a company called Justice. The line is limited edition, and they feature some fun bling. Get your initials on a YoYo Lip Gloss, or sport a funky peace sign. What woman doesn't want a little extra bling and sparkle?!
The most recent lip gloss that I received from them was the fun initial "K", and it was in the color pink. It has a yummy bubble gum flavor, that both smells good, and tastes sweet. Wear the gloss alone for a nice light shine, or layer it on top of your favorite lipstick. It's nice and thick, leaves your lips moisturized, and isn't sticky.
Interested in getting your own YoYo Lip Gloss? Of course you are! Click here to grab yours today. Interested in picking up one of the limited edition glosses? Of course you are! Click here to grab those today! Interested in checking out their Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram... you never know when you may come across a deal!
Thanks to YoYo Lip Gloss and Justice, one lucky reader will have a chance to win their own limited edition gloss! To qualify you must be a resident of the USA (50 States allowed to participate). All entries will be verified.
I received an item(s), in exchange for my honest opinion, and a review of my experience. I did not receive any other compensation or incentive nor was I required to write a positive review. Individual results or experiences may vary.

EVER INDULGED IN A MILKY BEAUTY TREATMENT? (IF NOT, YOU’RE MISSING OUT!)
Rani Padmavati (also known as Padmini), the legendary 16th century Indian beauty, was famous for her luxurious milk baths. So was Cleopatra all the way in Egypt. And every top-end spa boasts of an extensive milk menu in the 21st century. Why?
Milk is a terrific source of lactic acid, a natural alpha-hydroxy-acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the top layer of dull, dead skin cells, erasing blemishes and revealing a softer, brighter complexion. It also helps in cellular renewal, along with stepping up collagen and elastin production for firmer, more supple skin. And since lactic acid already exists in our cells, protecting against injury and sun damage, the body accepts it more readily than most synthetic AHAs. Result? Minimal irritation or inflammation. Besides this, milk is also loaded with vitamins A and D, protein and calcium – all of which are easily absorbed by the skin.
Hooked? You might want to try these simple concoctions.
MILK BATH
To replicate the famed royal baths, add 6 cups of full fat milk to your bathtub and soak for about 30 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. For a more intense (though not so sweet smelling variation) use fermented whole milk, which has curdled. You will emerge with the smoothest skin imaginable!
No bathtub? Mix some honey and whole milk powder into a paste. Then use this paste in lieu of a shower gel – silky smooth skin guaranteed!
DEEP CLEANSING
For deep cleansing, apply a layer of milk to your skin; leave on for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off with warm water. Skim well works well for oily skin, while normal, dry or mature skin would show better results with whole milk.
FRESH & GLOW-Y
Blend 6 teaspoons of honey with 5 teaspoons of milk, then apply the paste on cleansed face. Leave it for 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. Do this once a week for a fresh and glowing complexion.
MILK SCRUB
To make a potent scrub, mix 2 teaspoons each of milk, honey and ground almonds. Smooth onto the face and neck; leave on for 5-10 minutes and then massage it off the face with gentle, circular motions. Finally, rinse off residue with warm water.
HAIR
To add body and shine to fine or lifeless hair, mix half a cup of dry milk powder with just enough water to make a paste, then gently massage the paste into your hair. Cover hair with a hot towel for half an hour, changing the towel when it cools. Rinse, shampoo and end with your conditioner for super-glossy locks.

Ban T-shirts: Thought Provoking Shirts With An Important Message!
For those of you who read my blog on a regular basis, you would know that I love reviewing beauty products, jewelry, and of course all kinds of fashion. My top favorite in the fashion world, would have to be t-shirts. Yes, I can be a girly girl at times... love anything that sparkles, but on top of that... I love to be comfortable. What better way then to sport a funky, comfortable t-shirt? Can a girl have too many t-shirts? For me, I don't think so! What I like to look for: something that's pleasing to the eye, great quality, available in many colors, styles and sizes, and it's gotta catch everyone's eye. I want something that will get some people talking, and possibly drop a few mouths at the same time. That's where Ban T-shirts comes in.
They're a company that offers all kinds of political t-shirts with progressive messages. Many thought provoking shirts, with topics like: the environment, immigration, freedom, war and peace. All their shirts are made sweat shop free in the USA.
I received two shirts for review: The Last Fish T-shirt and the Pro-Choice T-shirt. Both captured my eye the first time I saw them on their website. Both with very important messages, and I would be proud to wear them out.
The Pro-Choice shirt is a little more risky to wear out, depending on where you're going. With the topic being of a strong nature, it needs a post of it's own. I feel that it holds a very important message in which I feel strongly about... and I will actually write a separate post regarding it in the near future. A very controversial topic that will get many different views and opinions, but I'm looking forward to taking it on. Keep an eye out for that in the next few weeks!
The Last Fish shirt was my favorite of the two, as I would wear it more often. The shirt was designed with a Native American prophecy in mind, which is usually said to be of Cree origin, but has also been reported as a Hopi prophecy.
"Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned, the last fish has been caught, will we realize that we can't eat money."
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this shirt! The khaki green color looks great on my skin-tone, and the pretty coral-reddish color of the fish pops out nicely. The words are in a solid white, which makes them easy to read. I've received many compliments while wearing this shirt, and it was a real conversation starter. This is by far my favorite new t-shirt that I own... it's excellent quality, pretty, sports an important message, and holds up well to my crazy laundry habits.
Interested in getting your own Ban t-shirt? Of course you are! Click here to visit and grab your items today! Interested in visiting their Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, and Twitter pages? Of course you are... you never know when you could save and get a deal!

WEIRD (BUT EASY) LITTLE TRICKS THAT MAKE HIGH HEELS FEEL LIKE FLIP-FLOPS

High heels instantly make you look (and feel) taller, thinner and sexier but they can hurt like crazy. So, would you take foot injections to make walking in heels easier? Me neither. Instead, try these simple tricks to strut down the street (or aisle, or nightclub, or bedroom…) without hurting yourself. And look good while you do it
A spritz of extra-hold hairspray on the soles of your heels will guarantee a slip-proof and catwalk-worthy walk every time. Other options: scratch the bottom of your soles with sandpaper or head out to the driveway and start scuffing.
This one comes courtesy of Camilla Morton, author of How to Walk in High Heels and A Year in High Heels: “Head to the supermarket, get a cart and go for a spin. As you stock up on groceries, use the cart for balance while your feet get used to the new high heel.” No department store in sight? When you buy a new pair of heels, walk up and down the stairs 10 times. Stairs are the most difficult thing, so if you can that, you can do everything else.
Could it be that the only thing standing between you and those stilettos is…a number two pencil?! Podiatrists suggest foot exercises to maximise heel comfort. Two to try: picking up pencils with your toes and rolling a ball back and forth under the ball of your foot. Strengthening those muscles will make a long strut feel far less torturous.
And finally, never wear the same pair of stilettos two days in a row. That’s because no two pairs of shoes are exactly the same. Each pair creates its own unique pressure points on your feet which, if worn two days in row, will begin to cause pain and discomfort. So wear, swap and repeat.
What about you? Do you already use any of these tips? What are your secret tricks for making high heels more comfortable? Share!

WHY YOU SHOULD EAT BEANS TO CURB A PIZZA CRAVING (SERIOUSLY!)
Craving a scrumptious, delectable, sinful pizza absolutely dripping with cheese or constantly find yourself reaching for that box of Godiva chocolates, shutting up the part of your brain that’s blabbering on about killing your skin and destroying the hard won waistline? I am all for every kind of unhealthy food, especially when one is tucked into bed, late on a Sunday evening, watching the latest episode of Mad Men.
But for the slightly more sane, it might be interesting to know that these cravings are usually our body’s way of SOS-ing the need for replenishing its store of vital nutrients. And that most of the cravings can actually be tackled by a healthier alternative, thereby satisfying the urge without the calories and other skin-destroying stuff.
Here’s the 101 on decoding the signals.
You are craving: Cheese, pizza, pasta
Your body needs: Carbs, proteins
Try: Lean chicken, whole grain cereals or bread, bean salad, bean chili, baked potatoes, brazil nuts, oily fish, avocados, broccoli
You are craving: Chocolate
Your body needs: Magnesium
Try: High energy foods like nuts, seeds, wholegrain bread or crackers, berries etc.
You are craving: Chips, bread
Your body needs: Calcium and protein
Try: Meat, fish, chicken, eggs or pulses
You are craving: Greasy fries, burgers or fry-ups
Your body needs: Salt
Try: Sushi, almonds, grilled bacon, lemon juice, salad tossed with unrefined sea salt, roasted sunflower seeds
You are craving: Soda, soft drinks
Your body needs: Calcium
Try: Leafy green veggies, sesame seeds, yoghurt, milk
