Why Is Your Skin So Bright? I Use CSCS Ferulic Acid & Vitamin C

7/31/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture

I love skincare, but one can admit that it's hard to find a product that features all of these in the same serum:

1. Anti-Aging
2. Anti-Wrinkle
3. Moisturizer


I have been using this CSCS Advanced Ferulic Acid + Vitamin C serum for several weeks now and notice significant improvements in my face texture, the skin is smoothed out and my pores are less visible. I love that the serum quickly absorbs into my skin so there is no drying wait time before I can use my makeup.

I will contiunue to use this product as it smoothes on nicely, doesn't require much product in application, and it goes well uner moisturizer and makeup.

I received this product free in exchange for my unbiased review, I love this product line and definitely recommended it to everyone, as it has done wonders with my sensitive skin. After a day’s wear of makeup, there is still no shine from extra oil, which means my face loves it!

Ingredients
De-ionized Water, Ferulic Acid, Vitamin C (as scorbic acid, Vitamin E (As d-alpha tocopheryl aceate), and Glycerin.

What's This Green Stuff In The Drink You Gave Me? Greet Your Guests With Ceremonial Emerald Matcha

7/31/2015

 What is Matcha? Matcha is a fine green tea powder used for drinking or cooking. It is different from loose leaf teas because the whole tea leaf is consumed instead of just the infusion. Matcha comes from the plant Camellia Sinensis.

Looking for Matcha for your tea needs?
I have never been a fan of drinking straight matcha like the directions suggest of Midori Springs Ceremonial Emerald Matcha. Matcha is one of those products that you love or hate.

I am a huge tea drinker and my favorite flavor is green tea and jasmine, when I steep my tea I add a little of the matcha for the health benefits, when I release my tea into the glass with my steeper the mixture becomes well blended as it is being filtered through a screen.

This is the second jar of matcha that I have tried from this company, I find that the flavors are always fresh.


I was glad to receive this product at a discounted rate or free in exchange for my honest opinion because of recent concerns with my normal go to tea Company having pesticides in their tea! I have been searching for a new supplier of my tea.

Picture
Where is the matcha tea plant grown?
This matcha comes from tea gardens in Aichi and Kagoshima in Japan

What does this matcha smell like?
Emerald Class has a fresh, sweet, earthy aroma

What all can I use matcha for?
  • Baked goods
  • Raw Treats
  • Smoothies
  • Yogurt
  • Ice Cream
 



What are the differences in grades of matcha tea?
Ceremonial
can range from the most premium quality to most economical. During production the tencha leaves are sorted by colour (darker green to lighter green).

Gold Class uses the darkest tencha leaves (best) while Emerald Class uses a blend of dark tencha leaves (great). Light tencha leaves are used for Culinary grade and will taste bitter and not smooth.

Which should I use?
For tea brews, they highly recommend the Gold Class.
If you want to make Matcha smoothies, lattes, or incorporate into different recipes, we recommend Emerald Class. Again, Emerald Class is NOT a cooking grade, it is Ceremonial and still tastes wonderful as a tea brew.

Is the matcha Organic, Kosher, Or Vegan?

Both Gold and Emerald Class are certified Organic, Kosher & Vegan. Both are GMO, Gluten, Soy, Dairy Free.

How should I store my Matcha in the fridge after opening?

Once opened, Matcha should be stored in the fridge to maintain optimal freshness OR stored in a cool, dry place. Make sure the lid is closed tightly. Do not leave the tin out too long in room temperature when scooping out the Matcha.

My Matcha is no longer a vibrant emerald green color like when I first opened the tin.
Once opened, the chlorophyll (which gives Matcha it’s vibrant emerald green color) starts to oxidize causing the Matcha to yellow/brown over time.

The oxidization happens naturally and the Matcha is still safe to drink. Once opened the Matcha should be kept in the fridge and consumed as quickly as possible (within 3 months for optimal freshness).

What are the health benefits from matcha?
There are endless health benefits when it comes to drinking Matcha. Some of the top health benefits:

  • Energy boost without the jitters
  • Reduces stress and improves mental alertness.
  • Increases metabolism and aids with weight loss.
  • Boosts immune system and reduces inflammation.
  • Helps the body detox and cleanse harmful elements.
  • Research has shown that by drinking Matcha can help prevent cardiovascular diseases,  decrease the risk of cancer, reducing arthritis, and the list goes on.

Soakin In The Tub With Adovia Dead Sea Bath Salt

7/31/2015

0 Comments

 
Dead Sea Salts Contain Much Higher Mineral Concentration than Epsom Salt!

Find Relief from Aches and Pains by Soaking in a Bath full of these Salts.
Rejuvenates, exfoliates, and softens while it soothes! Contains absolutely zero additives, colors, or scents. Higher Level of Minerals and Relief than Epsom Salts.

I have been using the Adovia bath salts for night soaks to help provide relief for allergies and aches and pains. I like that this salt instantly dissolves versus epson salt.

This is definately a staple to have in the closet of bath products this year, there are so many uses.

Provides relief from Psoriasis, Eczema, and Arthritis symptoms. Formulated with over 26 essential minerals the body needs for natural soothing and relaxation.

Sea Salt contains 10 times more minerals than ordinary sea salt, minerals which assist in cleansing, detoxifying and restoring a healthy status quo to the body, especially the skin and muscles.

Dead Sea Salts are very dry and absorb essential oils with ease, enabling the oils to be easily released into the bath water as the salts dissolve. This is beneficial for your aromatherapy in the privacy of your own home.

Just a few minerals and naturally occurring found in the Dead Sea Salt:

Sulfur is necessary for the secretion of bile from the liver and for converting toxins into non-toxins. Sulfur is found in the amino acids cysteine, and methionine; as well as in cells, hemoglobin, collagen, keratin, insulin, heparin, biotin and co-enzyme A.

Chlorine is necessary to maintain the correct balance of alkaline and acid in the body, together with being vital for cell metabolism

Iodine is necessary for the production of the hormone thyroxin, and is also vital for both energy and cell metabolism

Potassium is necessary to maintain the water balance in order for cell metabolism to take place, assisting the cells to absorb nourishment and expel waste products. An imbalance in potassium often leads to water retention. Potassium also plays a vital role in regulating muscle contractions and the nervous system.

Sodium, like potassium, plays a vital role in assisting the cells to absorb nourishment and expel waste.

Calcium is necessary in strengthening cell membranes and cleansing the pores. In addition it is vital for production and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones, together with regulating the heart muscles and nerves.

Magnesium is necessary in assisting the body to utilize other essential nutrients and in cell metabolism.

Bromine helps with the natural repair of the body together with cell metabolism and can be used as a natural antibiotic.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00URP7326




_SummerBliz features many nice options that quickly made them my favorite brand for my outdoor hat.

First, the hat is breathable and has a nice mesh liner.


Picture


The hat has 2 nice pull drawstrings to adjust the hat around your head, and under your chin. The hat that I chose if the color fatigue, it complements almost any color that you can wear. I did have a hard time deciding on a color, but I will be back for the others.

Picture

The Summerbliz hat has a nice brim that you can easily form, especially when it is raining to pour out the rain tunnel down the back. The brim of the hat is a nice width, which means you won't have water pouring down your back if it rains.

Summerbliz has made this hat with SPF 50 that will protect my scalp and face from sunburn, and it shades the sun from my sensitive eyes. And let's face it, when was the last time you saw a hat that actually protects from the sun?

Picture

This is the first hat that I absolutely love, I will be purchasing another color in the future and maybe one possibly for my mom whom swells when she gets too much sun. The SPF feature is something you don't see often, except for items made with the true outdoors in mind. This hat is perfect, I would not change anything about the hat.





I definitely recommend this hat to anyone that spends more than 4 hours outside a week in the direct sun, this hat is a sure bet to keep you cool and dry this summer!

No More Baking Struggles! Rosmau BBQ Oven Silicone Gloves Making Baking Easy.

7/24/2015

0 Comments

 
I looked around for several weeks trying to find a great alternative to my fabric oven mitts that were really trying my patience.

I have so many issues with the traditional oven mitt, due to my small hands when trying to grab any type of baking sheet I would always touch the food. I wanted silicone gloves this time due to the sanitary options they offer, and how easy they are to clean compared to the traditional oven mitt made of fabric.

These arrived in a very nice package, then they are sealed inside the box. This is a very nice feature that I hadn't seen at the local stores. The nice packaging makes these silicone oven gloves perfect for gifts for birthdays in the summer month, or a gift to your favorite cook; plus they can easily be wrapped up.

These make removing the hot and ever so heavy baking stones out of the oven a breeze! I do have to use both hands to lift the baking stone out, with the gloves I can easily grasp the stone to lift it out; instead of calling for my husband to help me :)

I definitely recommend these, I was thrilled when I noticed the tiny hearts on the gloves for the grip. The silicone gloves easily washed off with soap and water, I actually washed my hands with them on to get them clean.

They dry quickly too, I have been in a predicament before that all my fabric mitts were in the wash, and I needed them. A nice added benefit is they can be used with grilling, I am always afraid of the fabric mitts catching fire from jumping flames, not with these!
