100% Pure Peppermint Oil by The Essentials Co. #theessentialsco

I was given the opportunity recently to try this essential oil and asked that I give my unbiased opinion and review on the oil.

First of all let me say -- I love essential oils.  They have been a part of my daily life for the past 30 years now.  I am no expert by any means, but I use them a lot.

This one came in a nice 4 oz size.  Amber colored glass bottle with an eye dropper.

I like the fact that the essential oil companies are starting to add the droppers -- makes them much easier to distribute.

This is 100% therapeutic grade according to the bottle.  It has a very nice strong smell.  No fillers, no additives -- just 100% steam distilled oil.

if you are not familiar with essential oils here are some of the popular uses for peppermint oil

• effective migraine relief -- which is what we use it for as well as sinus pressure for allergy sufferers
• stress relief
• respiratory health
• fever relief
• anxiety relief
• asthma relief
• arthritis relief
• nausea relief
• IBS relief

Household uses include:
• natural disinfectant
• insect repellent
• rodent repellent
• air freshener

Peppermint oil is an incredibly potent essential oil. The oil is only to be used externally. Unless peppermint oil is being used for aromatherapy, it should always be diluted with a carrier oil such as jojoba or almond oil.

I really like this oil and would definitely recommend it!!

I received no $$ compensation for my unbiased review.

Valentia True Glow Eye Cream #ValentiaTrueEyeGlowCream

Another great item I got a chance to try out in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion and review.

This is the second item I have tried from this company and I have liked them both really well.  My wrinkles are still there, but this offers a great moisturizing aspect with no burning or irritation to my eyes.

I used it on my freshly cleansed face in the morning.  I probably should apply in the evening as well, but have not done that at this point.

Directions for using Valentia True Glow Eye Cream:

Apply twice daily, morning and night, after cleansing skin. The under eye area is delicate so eye cream should be applied gently.  I just tapped it on my eye area and let it soak in on its own.

Using your ring finger, gently dab eye cream in using a patting motion going around the orbital bone and
working inwards toward the bridge of your nose.

It is not sticky and soaks into my dry skin right away.  I also used the extra to rub between my frown lines in my brow -- that desperately needs help as I tend to squint a lot in the sun!!

It also has a very pleasant scent and color.  It looks like an orange serbert color.

I didn't notice anything with my dark circles, but I did notice it did seem to help my puffy eyes a couple of mornings when I woke up looking like I had been socked in the eyes after a deep clean day.

I love the ingredients in this -- so definitely give this a thumbs up and recommend everyone to give it a try!!
