New favorite

If you are like me and suffer from mild rosacea and/or skin tone difference on your face you understand the frustration of trying to make your skin look even. You may have to use different color foundations, which can be costly, or you just try to blend blend blend. Well recently my SO's brother's girlfriend brought me a ton of samples, she is an esthetician at Estee Lauder. One of the first things I decided to try to use was the Skin tone correcting serum by Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins. A normal size bottle will run you about $45-$65 and looks like this:

 

I used the .05 oz sample which lasted me about 3 days (morning and night) all over my face. I wish I had taken a before and after because I am so amazed with the results. No more red checks, no more splotches on my face, my skin is already all the same tone. It is AMAZING, I sent her a text and said "if you get anymore of the skin tone correcting serum samples send them my way I'm OBSESSED". That is truly the word Obsessed, this product is so amazing and it helps someone like me who had amazing skin until pregnancy, start to feel more confident. If I go outside now without foundation/powder I do not feel self conscience about the different skin tones on my face and whether people notice or not. My skin and my hair were always something I could be proud of and after getting pregnant with my son it was something I struggled with. 

If you have skin problems I would definitely recommend checking out this line, while It might cost you a little more it is great quality and a little definitely goes a long way. 

Yes Please!

So I am STILL dealing with my sinus infection, fun fun fun. But I had a very pleasant find at CVS today.... I'm sure some of you saw my post earlier this month letting you know about my Influenster Sweet Heart Vox Box. My favorite product from that box is the Olay Fresh Effects System, the more I use it the more I LOVE it. My skin is changing for the better and I am left a lot less oily (in my T-Zone!). Well today I stopped by CVS and found these:

 

This was the first time I had seen the fresh effects products in stores! Normally these tubes are $7.99 each, but they were on sale for $3.99 each! So I bought two of the Bead Me Up and Shine Shine Go Away. Both are cleansers and can be used with my fresh effects system brush (or without it). The Shine Shine Go Away is what I received in my box, so I am excited to try out the bead me up!

So If you are in need of a new skin cleansing routine or product I would suggest RUNNING to a local CVS and seeing if you can find this deal! I love it! Thank you Influenster for introducing me to this product!

Fresh Face Friday

So while my son is refusing to go to sleep, I decided I will update you on my recent trial of Olay Fresh Effects courtesy of my Influenster Vox Box!

I have been trying so hard lately to get into a good face washing routine, especially since summer is coming up. However, I've been having such a hard time finding a product I like, I've tried everything from brands such as Lush to Target's generic brand. So, I was pretty happy to find this in my vox box. The little tool you see on the right is the actually massaging cleanser- and it vibrates REALLY strong, but it feels great on your face. It's very simple and it left my face feeling SO SO SO soft the next day, I am so impressed. This is by far my favorite product out of my Vox Box so far, it's one I will be repurchasing when I am done.

Love love love this, thank you Olay and Influenster.

Influenster will you be my sweetheart?

I was so so so excited to see this box waiting for me today

I knew that that little heart on that box could only mean it was one thing! My 2013 Influenster Sweetheart Vox Box! I rushed home and opened it up to find SO many exciting things:

This is by far the biggest Vox Box I have received yet, inside we have:

• Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid Powered Contour Cleansing System 
• Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Deodorant
• Travel Size Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray
• Skinny Girl Daily On-The-Go Bar in Coco-Nut flavor!

Now tell me this doesn't sound like it's going to be an amazing time. I am so excited to try out all of these products and let you know how they work for me. I am so grateful that I have had a chance to be a member of Influenster and that I receive these products to test out! Thank you Influenster, Olay, Not Your Mother's, Secret and Skinny Girl Daily!

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Dear Apple Cider Vinegar

Could you taste a little better.... please?

So for a while now I have friends who have been preaching to me the benefits of apple cider vinegar. But taking shots of vinegar... doesn't sound too great to me. However on my journey to a healthier me, a healthier scalp and a journey to lose these remaining pounds I decided to take a shot at it. So today I purchased Heinz All Natural Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (with the 'mother'):

So I am sipping it, in a cup of water. Plugging my nose as I take each drink. I'm sure this will be an acquired taste. But the benefits are astounding:

• Potassium – helps to prevent brittle teeth, hair loss and runny noses.
• Pectin – helps to regulate blood pressure and reduce bad cholesterol.
• Malic Acid – gives ACV the properties of being resistant to viruses, bacteria, and fungus.
• Calcium – supports strong bones and teeth.
• Ash – gives ACV its alkaline property which aids your body in maintaining proper pH levels for a healthy alkaline state.
• Acetic Acid – It appears that this acid slows the digestion of starch which can help to lower the rise in glucose that commonly occurs after meals.

You can also give ACV to your pets! People say adding honey and other things to it help it taste better but I am just going to tough it out for now!

Who else has added Apple Cider Vinegar to their daily diet? Have you seen benefits? Please share them! 

Happy Sunday

I just wanted to share this picture, this lady recently lost a lot of weight and couldn't figure out how to tone up her loose skin. She decided to try one of our Ultimate body applicators "wraps" and these are her results after just ONE wrap:

A box of wraps contains FOUR wraps just imagine the results she will see. I saw results very similar to this on my own and it just amazes me when I see other people who have had great results as well! If you have any questions about this product please don't hesitate to ask me!
