Beth and Beauty’s Fridays Ahh’s! or Nahh’s! & Special Announcement!

White Jasmine Arch

Hi! Fellow Beauties! Today is Beth and Beauty’s Fridays Ahh’s! or Nahh’s! I also have a special announcement about my blog I need to let you know about. First for anyone who is new to my blog, let me explain what my Fridays Ahh’s! (favorites) or Nahh’s! (not so much a favorite) is. It is where I share with you what some of my current favorite things are and if there are some not so much a favorite for me, I also share it. This can be health, beauty, fashion, flowers, home decor and etc. Let me share with you my Ahh’s! or Nahh’s! first and then I will give you my blog announcement. My first Ahh! is my new white jasmine arch in the above picture that my husband planted and made. I have no green thumb!…LOL!  Ingrid from nentasfrivolity.blogspot.com along with my husband inspired me to start back adding plants to my yard. It is not that I don’t like flowers, I just don’t have a green thumb but my husband loves to garden so it was not hard for me to get him excited and planting flowers, shrubs and making the above jasmine archway.  I have another picture of some of my favorite flowers we planted, then I will share the beauty products.

Pink Roses Yellow Day Lilies & Pink Lily

This is a pink rose bush, yellow day lily and a pink lily. I think they are beautiful! The pink lily(?) has came back up now for many years. It is the only plant that we have that has survived the gophers and Texas leaf cutter ants, if it is not a pink lily, please feel free to tell me the correct name for it below in my comments. I am just hoping all the new plants we have planted can also survive them. Now for my beauty products.

Beth and Beauty's Fridays Ahh's or Nahh's Beauty Products 051614

As with any of the pictures above, to enlarge them, just click on the picture. The first beauty product that has had me going Ahh! is this deluxe sample of 4 of the Dior Addict Fluid Sticks. The color samples I got is from the top: 754 Pandore, 575 Wonderland, 551 Aventure  and 338 Mirage. The only one I have tried so far is the 551 Aventure and it is a coral orange color, I usually do not like anything that has orange in it but this color I really do like and the formula, Oh! My! Gosh! it is wonderful. It is so smooth, glides on like melted buuttter…. and last for at least 4 hours before you need to touch it up. Then I fell in love with an old favorite again, my Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder used with either the puff that comes with it or just a velour puff that you just pat and roll the powder onto your face and it leaves you with such a airbrushed finish and really diminishes the look of pores! The last product that has be going Ahh! is of course my new Kat Von D Chrysalis palette. New eye look blog post using this palette coming up next week.

Now for my special blog announcement. For you that have been following me pretty well know since I have started my blog in January of this year I have posted a new post Monday – Friday. Well, I have decided for better blog posts quality, I am going to start only posting new posts on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I will sometimes  throw in  bonus product reviews posts. I just believe it is the best choice for me and you. I want to give you quality blog posts and to do that I need to have the time to research more plus have more personal time for me to network and spend some quality time with my husband. If I am not at my best, I don’t feel like I can give you the best. I hope you understand. If you want to make sure you don’t miss any of my blog post, if you will sign up by email, you will get an email every time I post a new post. I also have a twitter account, Facebook page and Google +.  Just click on the corresponding floating social media icon and I am just a click a way. I will be posting and communicating on my Facebook page and twitter if you want or need to connect with me.

Beth and Beauty’s Review of the Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror

Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Hi! Beauties! I wanted to give you a review of this fogless shower mirror that I was blessed to have  received from Cassani. I feel honored they value my opinion enough to send the product to me.  I wanted to start this review off my showing you some of the most frequent questions and answers that came with the mirror.

How is The Cassani Shower Mirror Fogless?

By warming the mirror with the shower stream the difference in temperature between the shower air and the mirror disappears. With mirror and shower being the same temperature there will not be any fog.

 

What Is The Best Way To Clean My Shower Mirror?

WARNING: Do
NOT use cleaning products on this mirror.

Our Anti-Fog Nanotechnology is infused into the reflection surface.
Using cleaning products here will very likely remove our anti-fog magic. We recommend using regular soap, or simply rinsing it with water.

Any small amount of soap or even toothpaste can be rubbed on and rinsed off to clear away any water spots.

 

Where Should I NOT Place My Mirror?

We recommend you placing your mirror away from areas in the direct shower stream or where cooler air may enter from outside the shower. We also advise to try and keep the mirror away from spray spray as well. Do a test run first before placing your mirror and razor hooks.

How To Attach My Wall Mounts?

1) Clean the area in your shower where you will put your mirror and razor hooks with rubbing alcohol and make sure the surface is very dry before putting the adhesives in place.

2) Place pressure on the hook(s) for 30-45 seconds

3) Allow the hooks a few hours to set before hanging anything on them.

This will almost guarantee that your wall mounts stay in place as long as you need them to.

My husband has always just shaved over his sink. When we received this, he followed the directions and hung it in our shower stall. He used it to shave with and he said it really did work and never fogged up. His only complaint was not having enough lighting but that has nothing to do with Cassani, it is just our bad lighting in our bathroom. I have found I also like using it when I am in the shower to make sure all my eye makeup is removed after I wash my face. This is on sale right now for $14.99 down from $26.99, on Amazon.com and here is the link: Fogless Shower Mirror – HIGHEST RATED! – Includes Razor Hook – Modern – Anti-Fog Nanotechnology – Exclusive To Amazon
