Leather Conditioner & Restorer Review

If you haven't read the post before this, I strongly recommend you do so. It's a review of Leather Nova Leather Cleaner. Leather Nova also sent me Conditioner and Restorer. That's what this post is about. Ive been trying to do some fall cleaning each weekend. Last weekend it was time to clean our leather furniture.



It can be used to condition and restore all types of leather and vinyl surfaces.



It works on all the following:

  • Interior car seats
  • Motorcycle seats
  • Sofas, couches, furniture
  • Boots, shoes
  • Wallets
  • Purses
  • Leather belts
  • Saddles and other sporting and equestrian goods
I'll be using it mostly on my leather sofa, and sofa pillows. 

I like that all their products come with a rag, or sponge that is appropriate to use with the cleaner, or conditioner. I never know what to use exactly. This cleaner comes with a sponge. They have it covered. It's applied in a circular motion after the leather has been previously cleaned.



Here are the Before | After Shot


I think it did a really great job! It's wiped away all along the bottom of the couch.

It will not only protect new leather but restore old leather to near new condition. It also restores the natural smell of leather.


This product is great to touch up and restore existing leather material, as well as protect it against future damage. Applying the conditioner once a month is recommended for maintenance, especially to help make the leather material repellant against water.

Comes in an 18 oz spray bottle. It's sold on Amazon for $29.95, but is on sale for $15.97!

Fall cleaning just got better.

Not suitable for suede, nubuck or microfiber.

Leather Cleaner Review

I've been trying to do some fall cleaning each weekend. Last weekend it was time to clean our leather furniture. 


I received Leather Nova Leather Cleaner for review. 

It penetrates the material deep down to tackle and remove dirt, grime and oil.

It is great for cleaning all types of leather and vinyl including:
  • Interior car seats
  • Motorcycle seats
  • Sofas, couches, furniture
  • Boots, shoes
  • Wallets
  • Purses
  • Leather belts
  • Saddles and other sporting and equestrian goods
I'll be using it mostly on my leather sofa, and sofa pillows. 

I like that all their products come with a rag, or sponge that is appropriate to use with the cleaner, or conditioner. I never know what to use exactly. This cleaner comes with a free microfiber towel for cleaning. They have it covered.

Rose Hip Oil by Yumi Beautiful Review

I'm in love with oils that are used for my face, and hair. Rose Hip Oil by Yümi Beautiful did not disappoint.



It's used nightly as a hydrating facial oil and brightening serum. It can be applied to the face and neck after you wash it. A few drops can be added to your favorite conditioner, and used on your hair. Massage into hands, elbows, feet and knees to soften and moisturize.

What makes Yümi Rose Hips Serum So Special?
  • It's organic
  • It's a cold-pressed rose hip oil 
  • It is a natural source of antioxidants
  • It contains Vitamin C
  • Trans-Retinoic Acid (a type of vitamin A that retinol converts to)
  • It's from the Southern Andes Mountains of Chile
  • It's for all skin types
  • Nothing is added such as: Paraben, Alcohol, Dyd, and Fragrances
  • They have great customer service
  • The packaging is beautiful

I'm an allergy queen, so I have to be careful about what in products that I use on my body. My forehead in particular gets really dry in the winter months. I love how it soaks into the skin without leaving a residue. It makes my dehydrated forehead feel hydrated again.

It's perfect if you have skin blemishes such as wrinkles and scars. I have a chicken pox scare I was trying to get rid of with tea tree oil. It's a little too early to tell, but I think Yümi Rose Hips Serum will help with this to. It also works as a spot treatment for discoloration.

Full price it's $37.50, but it's on a wonderful sale right now on Amazon for $16.95! That's a great deal!


You do need to avoid the eye area, and it's for external use only. Refrigerate after opening. Organic rosehip oil oxidizes quickly. Discard any unused portion after 4 weeks.

This is a quote from their website:

“When you discover a secret to naturally beautiful skin, you want to share it with your friends.”

I Shouldn't Touch Anything Today

I have the case of the dropsies this morning. I know "Dropsies" isn't really a word, but it should be. It's in the Urban Dictionary after all. 

I was in a hurry like I am every morning. It doesn't matter what time I get up; I manage to find more to do no matter what. Our typical time for waking up is 6:30 AM. Even on the weekends I sadly wake up at that time now.

This particular morning I was doing dishes. I dropped a pan lid, and this happened:


Usually when this type of thing happens I drop about 3 more things. I haven't dropped anything else just yet.

I did however manage to try and do Mica and Isaak's hair, and messed up both of their mane's. I will admit it, I just have a hard time doing their hair. If it's short, and spiky I can do that. Right now they don't have long hair, but they don't have short spiky hair either. They look so nerdy when I do their hair. I bet the opposite is true when a father tries to do a daughter's hair.

I went to leave the house, looked, and looked again to back up. I saw someone backing out of their driveway down the street, but didn't see anyone else. I seriously wasn't in a rush at this time. I was being careful by looking a few times. When I went to back out I heard a honk. Then this car sped right behind me to go down the street. They must have been speeding the whole time. Daddy opened the door; trying to figure out what was wrong. I nodded to assure him that everything was fine.

Do you ever have mornings/days like this? Ones where you feel like you shouldn't touch anything.

Preamble

Mica came home from school and said all excited, "Dad we're going to sing the Preamble from School House Rock. I will be able to learn it pretty good. I've learned it before."

I said, "Mica why are you telling Dad? I'm the one that introduced you to School House Rock?"

Mica said, "I know, but Dad's the one that helped me learn the Preamble."

Mica is right about that. Aunt Terra and preschool had him learn the Lord's prayer. Daddy said, "If he can learn that, he can learn the Preamble. So he did.

Here's a low quality video; that I wish I had high quality. His voice was so cute.


If you've never seen School House Rock here it is. It was a little before my time, but I had heard about it, so I looked it up.

WW: Fall {Linky}

Mica wanted a big giant pumpkin. That's about as big of a pumpkin as I'd let him get. Isaak wanted a pumpkin with cool texture.
