-- Product Review --  It was such a sincere pleasure to work with Jan Williams of Simply Pure Skin Care company re: this review project for their Organic Rosehip Oil product. Jan is the president of the small company (based in Wildomar, California – USA) and a licensed esthetician; they sell other pure products made from emu oil and shea butter.  We began discussing this project on May 8 th and it arrived on May 26 th , about 18 days after our initial conversations, in an appropriate sized small cardboard shipping box. The product was inside a small plastic bubble envelope and was sealed by a small, perforated plastic safety seal – all of which is recyclable – and there was no additional packaging involved. The 1 f. oz. brown glass bottle comes equipped with a rubber tipped dropper.  The label states that rosehip oil provides the skin with vital nutrients improving elasticity, radiance, cell regeneration, age spots, stretc...

Group plants according to water needs, then mulch around the plants to retain water while minimizing evaporation. Mulching also reduces weeds. Many flowers and plants can be used in xeriscaping landscapes, including the following: • Maximillian Sunflower provides large yellow flowers, blooming all summer long and entices butterflies. Withstanding summer heat and poor soils, these flowers are beautiful as borders or cut flowers. • Oleanders are beautiful plants found along many highways in Californi...

Coach batteries are those that are used to start the RV. These are normal 12 v car or truck type batteries and are designed to provide a lot of amperage for a short period of time. The house batteries are deep cycle batteries which are designed to provide a lower amperage for a much longer period of time. Most of us will understand the coach batteries and can tell when it is time to replace t...

 -- Product Review -- Upbiotics Advanced Probiotics supplement is a wonderfully powerful digestive supplement offered by 100Naturals.com I first spoke with their agent - Erin - around April 30 th and we had it ordered in for delivery on May 1 st – it arrived at the border postal service provider (we live a couple miles off the border on the Canadian side) on May 9 th . As such, however, we have had several weeks to try this product out. I have often had a supply of probiotics in the home even though we generally consume plenty of yogurt, cheese and cottage cheese (naturally rich in probiotics), because occasionally one of us feels a little bloated, gassy or constipated… and that is when we start taking a supplement for a week or two until we feel better. I had a small amount left of our older supply and so I compared the two labels to see how they measured up and found this product definitely has more diverse and a greater number of beneficial bacte...
