Curvassure by Contour Butt Toning System: Video Tutorial Included

Curvassure by Contour Butt Toning System

Curvassure by Contour

Contour: Storage Bag
The Curvassure by Contour is a butt toning system that helps take your bootie from saggy to firm with little effort from you!




Just The Facts:

The system consists of:
Contour: Conductive Gel
  • Form Fitting Shorts (Pretty too!!)
  • 4 Electrodes
  • Wire System
  • (2) Conductive Gel
  • Remote Control
  • Carrying Case for easy storage

Putting It Together:

It was really simple to put the Curvassure by Contour system together.  It took maybe ten minutes tops to put the electrodes inside and connect the wires and to fire the system up!!


Contour Shorts: Pretty & Stylish
The shorts are a lovely color and fit really well!

Electrodes & Control

Contour Shorts: Inside Out

My Thoughts:

I'll be honest, I've had so much stuff going on in my personal life, that I've neglected to use the system regularly and so I can't really give you a full review or report on how well the system works in regards to firming your backside...

The Curvassure by Contour shorts fit nicely!If you are familiar with "tens" units, then you are pretty familiar with what this system basically is.  The electrodes send little shocks to your backside and I guess stimulate your nerves or muscles...  I guess it's kinda like exercise for the lazy???  I'm sure it probably works better if you use it in conjuction with a workout regimen.

It definitely feels neat though!  It's like a massage for your butt!  The shorts are also so SUPER cute !!  I wouldn't be at all embarassed to go to the gym or walking in these! They are stylish even if you do have four round pads that are poking out of your bootie...  The color is probably one of my favorite parts to the whole thing!!




Your Thoughts

Have you tried anything similar? If you have, what kind of results did you see???

UNwired: RiF6 Wireless Headphones

RiF6 Wireless Headphones: Fun for the Family

RiF6 Wireless Headphones:

Just The Facts:


  • 2.4 GhZ Wireless Technology
  • Comes with Rechargeable Batteries
  • Docking Stand Doubles as a Charger and Wireless station
  • Connect to any Audio Out Plug
  • Transmits up to 100 Ft. away from Stand
  • Cushioned Headphones = Comfort
  • Easy Access Volume Buttons on Headphones
  • RiF6 Back View
    RiF6 Easy Set-Up
  • Fully Charged: Batteries last up to 20 hours

My Thoughts


I am in love with these headphones!  For starters, they were super easy to set-up.  They fit great, the cushions attahed to the ear part, is super cozy and they also feature a cushion along the head portion, which I've never seen before on a set of headphones.  The look of them remind me of the 80's, but the technology makes them a great option for today.

The sound is clear and crisp!  I like that they feature volume controls ON the headphones themselves, so you don't have to go and find your device to turn the volume up or down.  The coolest thing about these, if you have a TV set that features an audio plug for headphones you can connect the base to your TV and use these with your television and if you're like me you have a partner who lives for watching TV!  It can truly keep you from fighting over the volume of the TV, keeping both you and your partner or children happy.

Easy Set-Up

RiF6 Wireless Headphones: Easy Install When you first get these headphones, to install the AAA batteries that come WITH the headphones, you simply rotate the left earbud on the headphone where you will find the battery compartment (it literally is a slight turn and you can pop it off).  You plug the transmitter/ or docking stand to a power source and connect the audio plugs into an audio outlet.  They recommend that the first charge, you charge your headphones for 6 hours prior to use.

Once charged, it's really as easy as making sure you've connected the stand to an audio source (TV, iPod, smartphone, etc.) and push the power button on the headphones once the light on your headphones turns from red to green you know your "connected" and you'll be able to enjoy your music wirelessly.

Callie with the RiF6 Wireless HeadphonesSadly, after getting these I realized that the audio plug on our TV was messed up and so I'll be getting a new TV so that I can fully enjoy the capabilities that these headphones will give us.  They still are great for moving around freely to clean house and listen to music and not drive my kids crazy with the music I love and that they thing is "Old".

I definitely recommend these for those of you who are looking for headphones to use while playing video games or watching TV while not disturbing others.  They are a great pair of headphones for those uses as well as listening to music!  

If your from my generation, it'll definitely take you back to the days of Culture Club, Michael Jackson, Madonna, where neon colors were cool, shoulder pads were a fashion statement and teased hair was the "Cool" thing.  Yet, with it's technology it's something your kids will enjoy using as well!  They definitely are a great alternative to some of those higher priced headphones (That don't even have the wireless capability!).

Getting Organized: Makeup Organization

Getting Organized: Makeup Beauty Organizers

 Getting Organized: 

Organization Solutions for Your Beauty Items

Acrylic Drawer Makeup Organizer from AmazonA year ago I could have easily fit all of my "Beauty" Products in one small makeup bag.  Seriously, NO JOKE.  I was just not that into makeup and I definitely didn't have ANY skincare products.  However, I've since changed my tune in regards to both makeup and to skincare.  I used to honestly think that skincare was some kind of scam with the beauty industry just trying to raid our wallets, that they didn't truly work.

However, back in the spring time I made my first purchases of high end makeup and have since purchased TONS of makeup.  I also have subscribed to a ton of beauty subscription boxes which has also helped add to my overflowing collection of beauty products.

You should have seen my bathroom BEFORE I purchased my organizers!  It was overflowing to the max.  This still doesn't show you all the items that I have in boxes and another shelf that sits on my bathroom floor that holds the products that I'm not currently using.

I thought with the New Year, New You series I'm currently working on, that this would be a perfect time to discuss Organizing your bathroom or "Beauty Stuffs".

  The Bath Outlet:  Rainbow Line

The Bath Outlet: Rainbow Line Makeup Organizer
So, it was probably this organizer that got me to wanting to have all my makeup organized and have my counter all pretty with these organizers.  I was thrilled with the chance to review this makeup organizer from the folks at The Bath Outlet!

The Rainbow Collection from TheBathOutlet.com is actually an imported Italian Collection by Gedy.  All the pieces in the Rainbow Collection are made with thermoplastic resin.  These are high quality pieces and made from quality materials!

They actually have a variety of products in the Rainbow Line from mirrors to these makeup organizers to garbage cans, just about any bathroom accessory you could think of or need, you can find at TheBathOutlet.com

 One Organizer Becomes TWO:

See this on TheBathOutlet.com: Makeup Organizer: TheBathOutlet.com
The Bath Outlet:  Organizer into Two OrganizersSo, while the organizer from The Bath Outlet is completely perfect as it is, I just honestly needed an organizer in which to store my palettes and felt that if I seperated this organizer, I could have the best of both worlds!  So far I've really enjoyed this storage solution!  I have the perfect place to store my lippy's and concealers and other items in the Purple Part and then using the other piece for my big shadow palettes!  




The Bottom Piece from the Bath Outlet OrganizerAs you can see, the bottom piece of the organizer from "The Bath Outlet" works perfectly for my eye shadow palettes!  These aren't small palettes!  
The palettes in this picture: Urban Decay Vice 3, Urban Decay Naked 3, Urban Decay Mariposa, Coastal Scents Revealed 2, and Too Faced Natural palette.


If purple isn't quite your color, no worries, you can find a variety of colors on TheBathOutlet.com's site.  As you can see if you were to purchase this makeup organizer, you have a couple of options as to how you can use it!  I seriously am in love with this organizer!!

Acrylic Organizers Purchased From Amazon:

Acrylic Organizer on Amazon

Acrylic Organizer: From AmazonI guess it was back in late November or early December when a friend on Facebook alerted us to this awesome deal on Amazon.  The organizers themselves were like $5 each and then shipping was $8.95, so if you purchased three at the same time you only were paying maybe $24 for all three because you only got the shipping charge once!  The price has since gone up to $13 for the same organizers, so I'm really glad I took the plunge when I did!!

Perfect Size for Most All My Makeup Stuffs

While these drawers aren't going to hold my eyeshadow palettes, or huge items, they are sufficient in storing most all of the other items.  My brushes, single shadows, sample packets, liners, etc. all fit perfectly inside the drawers!

Easier To Grab:

Since I've organized my makeup, it truly is so much easier to find everything when I'm getting ready.  My beauty routine has easily been cut in half, because prior to getting this storage system, it was trying to remember which box I had stored what in.


Everything Has a Place

Brushes: Storage Solutions
Brush Drawer
Now it's super easy to put all my liners together, all my brushes, etc.  I still haven't set it up PERFECTLY for my needs, but it's going to be a process to learn what set up is easiest for my daily needs.  I like having all of my liners in one consolidated area and all of my primers, etc.

Storage Solutions:  Liners all in one spot
All Liners in ONE Spot!
I've also found that for my skincare items that are too large, the tops of the drawers make the perfect spot for those items!

Blushes, concealers & More
Bronzers, Blushes, Concealers in ONE Drawer!



Organize For The Way You Live

We all have our little quirks.  The thing about organizing things, we all may have different solutions that will work differently for our unique personalities and the way we live.  So, there's really no right or wrong when your organizing, as long as it works for you then your good.


How Do You Organize?

How do you keep all of your makeup and skincare organized?

Sun On Your Face: Mass Vision Sunglasses Review


MassVisionInc.com Sunglasses: SassyGalBeauty Reviews
Part of: New Year, New You

Feel The Sun ON Your Face:  Not Your Eyes

MassVisionInc.com

* Fun Fact:  Did you know that wearing sunglasses can reduce your chances of getting Crow's Feet wrinkles?

We all love to get outside and feel the sun beating down on us.  In fact, it's a pretty important part of life, getting natural sunlight.  Sunlight can help to boost your health as well as your mood.  One of the bummers of winter time is struggling with "Winter Blues" because of the lack of daylight.  So, getting outside is really vital to your well-being.

DG Sunglasses: MassVisionInc.com (SassyGalBeauty)HOWEVER, we all know how badly it stinks to be in the bright, bright sun without sunglasses to block those powerful rays.  So, sunglasses are fun, but they are also a practical item.  But who wants to rock some sunglasses that are NOT cute??  Choosing the right sunglasses is about as important as choosing the right handbag.  The right sunglasses can be like the perfect topping to a great outfit, the WRONG sunglasses can throw your whole look off.

Mass Vision Inc: Options

So, all ladies know that a key to a good shopping experience is the power of CHOICE.  We need options.  Well, the folks at MassVisionInc.com definitely have  plenty of options for their customers. They carry a wide variety of brands and styles to fit just about all personalities and styles. 
They ALSO can cater to different types of buyers.  Whether your looking to make an individual purchase or a BULK purchase, they have you covered.

They have really nicely priced packages available!  You can choose to purchase a "Mixed Dozen" that includes 12 different sunglasses for starting at $30!!  To see the different options available:  MassVisionInc.com: Mixed Dozen Packages

My Experience:

I received my sunglasses fairly quickly.  I actually have delayed my posting because I had wrapped them as a gift for my son for Christmas and it wasn't until after Christmas was over and I started thinking about everything my children received that I realized he never opened the sunglasses, so I'm not quite sure where the "Sunglasses Present" disappeared to.  I had wanted to get some pictures of my son wearing his new shades, and so sadly since the sunglasses are MIA, I was unable to do so.  

Mass Vision Inc: Sunglasses at Wholesale (SassyGalBeauty)It really stinks, because this was one of those gifts I knew he was going to get really excited to see!  However, that's not massvisioninc.com's problem or fault. 

Besides my sunglasses or Cody's Sunglasses going missing, I was really happy with this pair of sunglasses.  DG sunglasses are everywhere it seems and I always seem to hover over their styles versus other styles when I'm in the store.  I also know that Cody would have LOVED these, he would have been extremely thrilled with getting these if they hadn't gone missing!

Overall:  

I'm really pleased with this product and even more impressed by the site in which sent these to me for review.  I think that they have really affordable options for any budget as well as a lot of varieties of types of sunglasses.  They don't just sell sunglasses, but also offer a variety of other types of glasses from Safety Goggles to Reading Glasses to Clip-Ons and Fit-Overs, they have just about any type of glasses that you may be searching for.

They also have a blog in which they give different types of helpful advice in regards to sunglasses.  One article is a post about choosing your sunglasses based on your face shape!

Soundtrack of Your Life: RIF6 Bluetooth EXO Speaker

Now Playing: RIF6 Bluetooth EXO Speaker

on Amazon:

The Soundtrack of Your Life

RIF6 Bluetooth EXO Speaker
Music is possibly one of the most overlooked, what I'm going to call a "Necessity".  Music can help to make you feel a range of emotions, it can take you to another time and another place.  Just a few notes can instantly transport you to a forgotten memory and with it recapture all the emotions and feelings that surround the memory.

Music is truly a powerful tool.  Not too long ago, after I had received this speaker, I played some music and it literally brought out so many emotions and it changed the rest of my day.  Listening to the right music has even been linked to increased intelligence.  Children who have studeied music in early childhood have in some studies shown increased scores in various testing.

Bottomline is music is important.  I don't know anyone in this world that I've ever met that said, MUSIC?  nah, I can't stand it.  Music is a universally loved pastime.  The only ways we may differ is in our own unique personalities and which genres we prefer.

So, with music being such an important part of our lives, the way we listen to our music is certainly important!  There are probably a million different portals or speakers in which you can purchase to listen to your music.  

RIF6 Bluetooth EXO Speaker


Just The Facts:

RIF6 EXO Speaker: NFC Technology
RIF6 Speaker: NFC Technology
with a plug for Aux Cable
  • Comes in 4 Colors: Blue, Green, Orange & Black
  • NFC / Bluetooth Technology
  • Water Resistant / Shock Protection Shell (Light Rain, etc.)
  • Works up to 30 ft away from connected device
  • Awesome Sound
  • Lithium-Ion Built-In Battery
  • Quick Charge Time: 3 hours
  • 2000 mAh Battery: Plays up to 10 hours of music
  • Lightweight: .95 lbs.
  • Built-In Mic (Speakerphone)

Now Playing:

Over the past few months I have honestly tried out so many speakers, that they all just about run together.  This, however, stands out above all the others that I've tested.  I try extremely hard to not compare products and to just test individual products on their own merits, but in the case with the EXO speaker, I found myself unable to not make comparisons to the other speakers 

Tech Talk:  Breaking it down

Ok, so let's for a moment just talk about the technical specs on this.  For starters NFC, ok so I'll be really honest I had to google this to find out what the crap it meant.  Basically, if you are like me and have no CLUE what this is, just means that you can connect your devices without having to have a passcode like other Bluetooth devices.  So, having the NFC technology makes it extremely simple to plug & play!

RIF6 EXO Speaker
3 Easy Access Buttons
The 2000 mAh battery: With a charge time of just 3 hours and a playing time of up to 10 hours, this truly makes it easy to charge and use your speaker on the go!  I despise when it takes forever to charge a device and yet the run down time is super fast!  I've experienced this with a lot of other wireless devices and it makes it where I don't even want to fool with them!

Indicator Lights:  Blue: Bluetooth is engaged    Red: Power Indicator

3 Easy Access Buttons: (The Buttons have double uses)
  1.  Play/ Power
  2.  Rewind / Volume Down 
  3.  Fast Forward / Volume Up


What about the Sound??

RIF6 EXO Speaker: Lay it Down
EXO Speaker: Features a Flat Side for Lying it on it's side
 Ok, so hands down this is truly the loudest speaker that I've yet to try out!  The sound is absolutely incredible.  I am so super impressed by how clear it sounds.  Imagine if you will, that there is HD for sound, that's what I would use to describe this speaker, it's so crisp and clear.  You know how some speakers will get a distorted sound if you have it up too loud??  This does not, you can jam away as loud as you want this thing to go and the quality of the sound isn't going to diminish AT ALL!

Each and every other speaker that has come in my home for testing or review purposes, I have given to others.  NOT this!  My husband upon learning that I was getting this speaker had "Laid Claim", however once it was in my possession and I had tested this out, it wasn't going ANYWHERE!  I hadn't really been listening to music or anything until I got this speaker and so now I'm listening to music as often as possible!

One thing this doesn't have that some of the other speakers had that this speaker doesn't, is a place for your SD card.  However, that doesn't really bother me because I found the other speakers that did have it, it was hard to get the cards out and if you have a device, it seems that you probably won't need it very often.  It also bothered me at first that there wasn't stand alone Volume buttons.  However, I have since discovered the "Secret" to it (I'm dreadful at reading directions) you simply hold down the desired Volume button instead of "pressing" it to adjust the volume.

Overall:

I am thoroughly impressed by this speaker.  The price tag might have you scratching your head, but I'm telling you it is TRULY worth it!  It's higher priced than some speakers, yet for the quality speaker you are getting it's a lot less expensive than comparable speakers in it's class!  This is one of my favorite electronic items that I've received so far and I wouldn't give it to ANYONE and trust me, I gift a lot of the items that I review!

Hearing is Believing!  If you are in the market for a good wireless speaker, I would urge you to consider purchasing this speaker!  I can't imagine anyone not being happy with the sound this speaker puts out!

Dot & Bo Review: Shopping Site Review

DotAndBo.com Site Review

Please Note:  This Post Contains Affialiate and/or Referral Links

I apologize in advance for how lengthy this post is, I just have so much to say :)

DotandBo.com

New Year, New You:

With the beginning of a New Year, what better time to start thinking about updating and making changes to your home as well?  We can get ourselves in a "design rut" and have the best intentions of sprucing things up and making them all new and pretty "one day" and sometimes you wake up and realize that it's been fifteen years since you did a "Overhaul" on your bedroom, living room, etc.

Dotandbo.com is a superb site for all your decorating needs!  They have just about anything you could think of when it comes to home decor!!  They also have some fun and quirky items that make fabulous gifts!  I'm telling you, stroll through their site and you will get lost in a neverland of quirky awesomeness!

A Shopper's Dream....

So, many of my readers are probably aware that I am greatly hindered in my ability to freely go places.  Our current transportation is severly lacking.  We are surviving with absolutely no vehicle and so we are dependeant upon the kindness of others to get anywhere.  This can GREATLY impact things such as purchasing gifts, etc.  Thank GOD for the internet and the unlimited possibilities of shopping online.

I'm not exactly sure when exactly I became aware of DotAndBo.com, but I know I've been stalking their site for quite some time.  So, back in September I believe it was, I first contacted them to inquire about doing a review on my site.  It took a bit of time to actually get things in order, but in December, I was finally lucky enough to receive my review product!!



Eggscellent Rug:

Click Here to see on Dotandbo.com 

So, I had the opportunity to select I believe up to 3 items.  I'm going to be really honest, I had such a hard time narrowing my choices to just 3, I believe I ended up giving the poor Marketing person about 6 different items that I was dying to get my hands on.

So, I wasn't quite sure what would be arriving at my home when I received the email that my item had shipped!

Eggscellent Rug from dotandbo.com

The Eggscellent Rug from DotandBo.com is 2' x 3' long and this is my first ever NEW rug that I've ever had!  This rug is absolutely gorgeous!   I'm almost afraid to keep it put down.  The reason it has taken me so long to put my review up, is I like to take really gorgeous pictures and my bathroom is the only half way decent floor space that I had and I just wasn't pleased with how it looked (On MY end, nothing to do with the rug). 

Purchasing From DotandBo.com

Referral Credit:

So, one of the most AWESOME things about the Dotandbo.com site, is that when you sign up through a referral link, you receive a $20 credit and the person who referred you also receives a $20 credit!!  I finally spammed my Facebook with my referral link and was able to save up enough credits to make a really significant purchase!!

I am IN LOVE with this chair.  Unfortunately, there was some type of issue when DotandBo received my chair and it didn't meet their "Quality Control" standards and so I haven't actually received it as of yet (They are hoping maybe by February I should have it)

(One of the reasons I delayed my review, was I really had hoped to have live pictures of my rocking chair to show you guys, I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as it comes in!  I'm so stinking excited about this chair!!!!  I'm hoping to make it my "YouTube" filming chair :)

CHECK THE SHIPPING DATES:

So, the thing about DotandBo.com is that they work with several artists and different suppliers, which is why their site is so absolutely vast and filled with such a unique array of products.  The one downfall to this, is that there can be a delay in when a product will ship.  However, you will know around about when your product should ship.  It will tell you when your looking at the product when that particular item should ship.  I just wanted to notate this so that if you do go shopping on this site, you aren't shocked if you don't pay attention and then realize only later that it might be a month before your items ship!

My Christmas Purchases:

Lego Head and Chalkboard from DotandBo.com
Like I said previously, there are SO many items I want on this site, that I could easily spend about $20,000 and not blink twice.  They have such a fascinating selection of products, that it's hard to narrow down what you want!

After purchasing my chair, I found myself with a little of extra leftover and so I had my eye on this LegoHead for awhile!  It took maybe about a week to receive it after it shipped.  So, that's not TERRIBLE, but I suppose that it's a way for them to bring quality products at a fair price.  They price shipping based on the purchase price.

The items themselves were TOP notch!  So, I now have THREE items from DotandBo.com and I am overly pleased with them all!  The LegoHead was so much larger than what I had anticipated it to be!  It ended up being a gift for my 13 year old daughter and she LOVES it!
LegoHead from DotandBo.com


Ms. LegoHead even looks good with the lid off!  It really is a handy storage container!!  I know as of right now, the site is sold out, but you can click the "I want it" button and they will send you an alert when the item is back in stock (If they bring it back).

Click here to see on DotandBo.comMs. LegoHead on DotandBo.com



OVERALL:

Overall, I am obsessed with the dotandbo.com site!  I mean, they have products ranging from gorgeous rugs to sofas!!  If it goes in your house, you can find it on the DotandBo.com site!!  Seriously!  They have EVERYTHING!!!  Just a couple points to remember:  You can get a $20 credit if you sign up through a referral link: dotandbo.com (My referral Link) !  (You cannot pay shipping costs with referral credits) SHIPPING:  Note the shipping dates when you are making your purchases!!! Share your own referral link to get more credits!!

One thing that I am disappointed in, is the shipping of my chair.  I had to seek out answers as to where my chair was.  It had been marked as shipped within two days of my purchase and yet, a week or so later the tracking wasn't updating and so I literally had to call and message them about five times before I finally was told that they had received the chair from the artist and it didnt' meet their standards and so they had sent it back to get me a new chair.  

I probably could easily put about a hundred items in my favorites!  Literally!  I have everything from a gorgeous set of dishes to little radios on my current favorites list!  

What's On Your Favs?

Have you shopped on dotanbo.com?  If you have, I'd love to hear what other's have purchased!!!
