My Product Review for Victoria's Secret Sport * Sports Bra 'Incredible' * Sports Pants


Do you enjoy wearing sport bras to workout? Personally, I would rather wear a nice sports bra, instead of a traditional bra, any day. They seem to fit better, have less wiring and move with my body as I move through my day and even work out. That is also how I felt about the Victoria's Secret Sport Bra called Incredible

It came to me in a 34B, which was my size, so I didn't have to go to the store to replace it. The sports bra had a flower pattern that was a bit much at first glance, but then after putting it on, I was sold on it. The 'Incredible' sports bra had underwire but it was cushioned nicely on the bra and didn't feel tight or like it was swallowing my chest. That is my main problem when it comes to wearing traditional bras and the sport bras, the underwire, and being just too tight in places even though it's my correct size bra. So that was really what I was looking out for in this Victoria's Secret 'Incredible' Sports Bra. It just fit me nicely and I am seriously a happy camper. 

I also received a pair of their sports pants in a size small. They fit perfectly as well. I do weekly yoga to keep in shape mentally and physically and I was looking for workout clothes that would support me and feel comfortable in the yoga poses as well. For me, I was especially looking for a yoga pant, so they came at the perfect time as well, for my small frame and my buttocks size...lol! 

I would definitely recommend that you give their new line of sports bras and sports pants a try at your local Victoria's Secret store or just shop online at https://www.victoriassecret.com/. Grade A.

A special 'Thank You' goes to Influenster and Victoria's Secret for the experience. I will definitely purchase more in the future.

Silk Almond Coconut Milk Blend #Review & #BzzAgent Unboxing (Video)



Disclaimer: This is a BzzAgent Unboxing and review for Silk Blends Almond Coconut Milk. All information mentioned in this product review/unboxing, is 100% from my personal experience and opinion.

Are you a @LoveMySilk (On Twitter) Fan? If so, Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose is happy to share with you another BzzAgent Unboxing AND LIVE Review



My Product Review for Silk Blends Almond Coconut Milk

Since becoming a vegetarian, I have drank my share of Silk soy milk, which I do like a lot. As a Bzzagent, having the opportunity to try Silk's Almond Coconut milk was a nice change from my usual purchase. 

I tried this milk two different ways, by glass and then on my morning cereal for 1 week, until I emptied the container. I was pleased with the taste and it's rich, thickness, in consistency. I purchased the Original and noticed that the coconut and almonds balanced each other out very nicely. I like coconut anyway, but there was an equal partnership with the two. I did find that the taste of the milk is more prominent when drank from a glass, rather than in cereal. The cereal seemed to overpower the milk and then it tasted just like regular soy milk or a plain milk, I'm used to having. 

Over the week of using this milk, I realized that I could include this milk into my regular, breakfast, routine. It was a nice change and coconut lovin good with almonds too! 

I would definitely recommend this milk to you, my friends, or anyone who has lactose intolerance or just want to enjoy a different type of milk. I will definitely purchase it again because of the taste and the price is good as well in my local Kroger store. Grade: A

BzzAgent Unboxing and #ProductReview for #Luvsome Indoor Formula Cat Food (VLog Inside)






Luvsome Indoor Formula Cat Food Review

I have 2 cat-roomies, living with me. My 4 year old cat, Sonia and my 14 year old, Theodore (Theo for short). I have to watch Theo's diet because he can gain weight fast, which causes him to breathe heavily. So, when trying Luvsome, I looked for their Indoor Formula cat food. My cats are both indoor cats and it's important to me that they get a well-balanced diet. 

It was recommended to mix some current food with the new brand of food, but I just happened to run out of their current food when the Luvsome coupons arrived in my BzzAgent kit. So, I gave both cats the Luvsome Indoor Formula cat food one morning on its own. Before I knew it, Theo was digging in and I mean eating like a mad-man. He definitely put into action the saying, "Now You See It, Now You Don't". He is definitely a fan! 

On the other hand, my 4 year old cat took a little longer, in the day, to try the new food. She did eventually come around and now eats it throughout her day. She's a slow-eater anyway though. 


Want A Coupon?
I will mail you one of each (while supplies last) of the coupons I have below for free. I have cats so that's why I only have these. Send me a request on my Contact Me form HERE or above. 

I have (3) coupons for:

  • Save $1.00 on the purchase of SEVEN (7) cans Luvsome Wet Cat Food, any variety. (Expires: September 01, 2014) -- Note: I am still trying to find this product in my Ralphs in Los Angeles, but it may be at the Kroger in your area.

California Naturel Skin Care Products #Review



Disclaimer: The skin care products mentioned in this review were provided by California Naturel for testing purposes. The opinions of each product are 100% my own. Your results and/or experiences may vary.



Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose was invited to personally experience the premium natural skin care products of California Naturel, a local company based in Sausalito, California. They pride themselves on using some of the purest, luxurious, and active ingredients found in nature. 

As you know, I have a pretty simple morning and night routine, so after reviewing their website and the ingredients in their skin care products, I thought that I would see if I could add anything else to my current line up of products.


The Skin Care Product Review

The overall package arrived in good shape. The items were nestled in the box very well with a shredded, green, heavy card stock. I really liked the personalized, handwritten card, sharing their enthusiasm for me reviewing their products. I found that personal touch to be very special. 






After taking an overall look at the products, in their own packaging and reading the ingredients, I decided to use the Gentle Cleansing Gel first.


The Gentle Cleansing Gel removes makeup and impurities from the face without drying the skin. 

Natural Ingredients Include: Organic Aloe Vera and Organic Soapberry

"I first noticed the smell, which was a little citrus and airy in a way, but pleasant. It was a thin-textured gel to the touch. The directions instructed me to wet my face, first, then lather my skin with the Gentle Cleansing Gel. It lathered quickly and easily on my skin. It left no soapy residue and washed away quickly as well. I left it on my face for a half of a minute, just to let it work a little more into my face. The lather began to dissolve so I decided to rinse the product off at that point. I used this product for 5 days straight to get a real sense of the product and was very pleased with it. I am actually still using it twice a day as instructed. It did not irritate my skin or dry it out so I would recommend this product for you to try as well."


The next product I used after cleaning my face, morning and night, was the Balancing Complex.


The Balancing Complex is an all natural moisturizer for combination to oily and sensitive skin types.

Some of the Natural Ingredients Include: Argan, Borage, Olive and Jojoba oils

"On first contact with this particular moisturizer, I did notice that it was lighter to the touch. Although the ingredients share that it was made of oils, I didn't feel oily on my face after using it. It appeared to absorb evenly into my skin. I used it for 2 out of my 5 days of testing. I tend to have dry to normal skin so this was okay for me. For long-term use though, I would have to go with the other cream-based moisturizer, which seemed to satisfy my skin type better, throughout the day."


Speaking of California Naturel's cream-based moisturizer, I used it for three days of the 5 day testing after cleaning my face each time with the Gentle Cleansing Gel. It's called their Nourishing Cream.


The Nourishing Cream offers hydration, antioxidants and cell renewal, for dry to normal, and most sensitive skin types. 

Some of the Natural Ingredients Include: Alfalfa Extract and Olive Leaf Extract

"The cream was richer and white in color. It spread on evenly throughout the areas of my face. I could immediately see the glow and the radiance of my skin increasing even more throughout my day. I didn't wear foundation everyday, so this product was the only thing I wore to moisturize and protect my skin. I was very pleased with its performance on my skin. I would recommend this to any who has dry to normal skin because it doesn't leave you feeling greasy, but well moisturized for a full day."


The final two products I received was a lip balm SPF 8 and sunscreen SPF 30.



The Lip Balm SPF 8 protects from environmental damage, moisturizes, and provides antioxidants and SPF sunscreen protection.

Some of the Natural Ingredients Include: Glacial Oceanic Minerals, Shea Butter, and Pomegranate Extract

"I was initially surprised by its thickness and how white it was when I rolled it onto my lips. I took my finger and continued to rub the product into my lips to blend it in. It had a light, fruity, taste, which was nice. Overall, it took some getting used to. Every time I used it during the 5 days of testing, I seemed to dab it on, then rub it in between my lips. It did create a moisturizing barrier, but it was a bit too heavy in consistency for me to use for the long-term."



The Sunscreen SPF 30 provides a non-oily, all natural experience. It protects from UVA and UVB rays and increases skin-hydration.

Some of the Natural Ingredients Include: Shea Butter, Pomegranate Extract, and Marigold Flower Extract

"This sunscreen was pretty thick to the touch and rubbed on white. I really had to rub it in to get it blended into my skin. However, once it was well-blended, it created a nice moisturizing look. On contact with the sun, while out and about, I notice that my skin was glowing and well-hydrated. This sunscreen has a similar thickness, white color, and consistency of some of its competitors. Since I have tried another brand of sunscreen recently, it was difficult for me to go back to a thicker brand of sunscreen. I appreciated the SPF 30 protection that it provided and how it protects from UVA and UVB rays, but its consistency was too thick for my liking."


Overall, my experience with California Naturel products were positive. I would definitely recommend that you try some of their products for yourself. You never know which product will be your new favorite, hot, item. All natural products are better for our skin and can only become apart of a bigger audience if we continue to use and share them with others.
