California North Travel Shower Bundle Review: A Gift Any Man Would Love for Traveling in Style

This Travel Shower Bundle is handy, practical and full of quality products.

Shopping for holiday gifts for your guy can be difficult.  You want your choice to be special as well as one that he doesn’t already have.  If he often travels on business, then I have a suggestion with California North’s Travel Shower Bundle that was sent to me for this review.

This is a sturdy bag that your guy can later use for carrying his things to the gym.

Imagine the smile on his face once he would find a sturdy travel bag already stocked with his basic grooming needs that is ready to go whenever he is.  This bag is well-constructed of waterproof, 100 denier durable nylon with leather handles and a metal hook to hang it from that always can be used later as a gym bag

Inside this attractive navy travel bag that has compartments and room to pack other essentials, there are three quality necessities with 8-oz. pump bottles of California North Sea Blast Shampoo, Sea Blast Conditioner and Gelskin Wash for luxurious skin and hair pampering, including an ultra soft microfiber wash cloth.  The formulas are enriched with beneficial botanicals and natural extracts that cleanse and nourish in a fresh, pleasant scent.

Though you always want your hair to be perfect, it is especially vital when you have an important meeting or function when traveling.  With the Sea Blast Shampoo and Conditioner that are both pH balanced, hair color safe and sulfate free that guy or you can rest assured that your hair will look its best.

Hotel soaps can be so drying for skin from my experience.  The soaps tend also to be small in size, which is my guy’s complaint.  Therefore, we also pack our own cleansers besides shampoo and conditioner.   The Gelskin Wash is another product that indulges the body but also the spirit with its light citrus scent.  I just love how gently this formula cares for the skin with its rich, foamy lather.  You can read my review to learn more.  

The California North Travel Shower Bundle ($62) would be just as welcome of a gift to any woman that also travels a lot, if you want the truth.  The formulas are splendid for beautiful hair and skin with a comfortable, fresh scent that you would love as well.

California North Self Tanner and Gelskin Scrub Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.** 

This 16-oz. size  retails for $49.

When I was a teenager, I used to like to sunbathe and work on my tan.  Later, I learned the dangers about risking your health to melanoma and premature aging of the skin.  Afterwards, I took precautions to avoid possible skin cancer and preventing deep wrinkles and those white spots some people get from spending too much time in the sun.

For the most part, I don’t regularly go in for self-tanners. The reason is my coloring is fair with yellow undertones. Some self-tanners left me with more of an unnatural orange color than an authentic tan shade. I had tried others that produced a better tan, but were much too much trouble.  Still others I experimented with were hard to use to get an even tan. 

California North included their Self Tanner and Gelskin Scrub in a box of products that they mailed me to test. To tell the truth, I really was hesitant about testing them because this type of product never impressed all that much for me to continue buying.

After letting those products sit in the box for several weeks, I finally thought what the heck.  I will see what the California North Self Tanner natural sugar-based formula and Gelskin Scrub was like.  

According to their advertising, there is no carotene that might cause staining and streaking in their Self Tanner, which I took as a promising sign.  It also has allantoin, aloe, nettle, vitamins A and E, sesame, safflower, rosemary, and sage.

This 8-oz. scrub retails for $24.

The Gelskin Scrub is meant for exfoliating any rough skin like any on elbows, knees and feet using walnut shells, allantoin, aloe, cucumber, jojoba, nettle, rosemary, and sage to also nourish skin in the process.

Though you can use it on your face and body, I choose just to start with my arms and legs to see how those parts would fare.  After I bathed, I followed up with a little bit of the Gelskin Scrub to my elbows.  This wasn’t too abrasive as I rubbed in circular motion, but smoothed the area nicely after washing it off and throughly drying my skin.

 Being equipped with a pump dispenser, the Self Tanner was easy to use.  After I pumped out enough of this lightly scented lotion, I rubbed it on both sides of my arms, starting there first.   Soon this white lotion disappeared in the skin, leaving it moisturized but not greasy.  Since it was the first day, the directions said to do another application in about three or four hours, which is what I did later.

This is my arm after the first day.  Notice the white hand that I left alone.

I was surprised at the results I got after just the first day.  My pale skin did pick up more of a natural light gold tone that wasn’t splotchy.  I didn’t even need to bother with using a mitt just my hand without staining it.

I will gradually be deepening the color, but I don’t like being overly dark.  Therefore, I won’t apply every day, but maybe several times a week until tanning somewhat darker.

If you have been disappointed by some self-tanning products, check out California North Self Tanner and see how it works for you.

California North Appellation Grapeseed Muscle Soak Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

This does ease pain and help a sore body to relax. 

Regardless of how you try to pace yourself whether exercising, playing sports too hard to overworking the body with some home improvements or heavy cleaning often can result in sore muscles.  Before you pop pain relievers, grab the pain relieving rubs or that heating pad, you might want to try California North’s Appellation Grapeseed Muscle Soak that I tested the other day after doing more than I should when trying to finish moving some boxes that I wanted to clear out in my garage.

This product has arnica, clove, ginger, grape seed, eucalyptus and willow bark that has a plant-based chemical makeup much like aspirin for relieving pain along with other soothing ingredients to help. 

How I handled it was running a warm bath and adding about four capfuls to the water before I climbed in. Then I parked myself in that treated bath for about thirty minutes, allowing its spicy vapors and comforting ingredients to do its work.

By the time I emerged, I still hurt but not nearly as much.  I really liked how this formula managed to accomplish that, but I would have liked it even more if sold in giant size! 

For those times when you need some extra relief, I suggest visiting California North and trying their Appellation Grapeseed Muscle Soak ($19). However, if you’re on blood thinners like coumadin (warfarin) or allergic to aspirin, I would check with my doctor first.
